Chapter 298: Telling Lies with Open Eyes
The setting sun melts gold.
Dusk fell.
It was getting dark.
The two little ones haven't come back yet.
Lu Qingyao just returned home and found that her baby was missing.
He looked at the dog hole that had been dug and asked the doorman.
I have a clear idea of what is going on.
Those two kids just need to be punished.
They pretend to do what they are not allowed to do, but they actually disobey it.
Thinking of Miaomiao, she has been very well-behaved since returning to the capital. How come in just a few days, she started to act out of control again and even had the audacity to run to the next door.
The little girl was braver than other girls since she was young. She would watch people fighting, put the princess's job on the line, and stuff bugs into people's mouths.
Wenjing had been quiet for only a few days when her old curiosity came back.
When he left Jiangzhou, Cui Liulang left, and when he came to the capital, he met Yan Cheng'an.
After only a few days at home, he had already killed all the fish in the pond.
This child is just like his mother said, he gets itchy if he doesn't get beaten for a day.
Yan Cheng'an: ...I am more wronged than Dou E.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Lu Qingyao gritted her teeth and knocked on the door of the princess's mansion.
Although they lived next door to each other, she was not even qualified to visit them, let alone come to their house without even sending a letter.
But there is really no other way.
Neither forcing his way in nor visiting the princess's mansion at night would work.
It’s okay if it’s not discovered, but once it’s discovered, no amount of explanation will be enough.
What if you are assigned to assassinate a princess or something?
Then her children would be motherless.
After thinking about it, although it is rude to go to the door directly, it is understandable.
Such a grown-up princess shouldn't make things difficult for two little kids.
Besides, Yan Cheng'an is still there.
Although the current empress dowager was not Emperor Xuan's biological mother, she raised him and loved the princes and grandchildren very much.
Princess Yuqing would rather consider the Buddha's face than the monk's.
We still have to give face to the Mu family.
"Squeak."
The door of the princess's mansion opened.
There was no contempt or difficulty as imagined.
After reporting, the doorman let them in.
Not only the doorman, but even the servants who led the way were unexpectedly kind.
Sometimes, the attitude of their masters can be seen from the attitude of servants towards visitors.
At this hour, and with such presumptuousness, they came to their house, yet they were all very kind to them.
It can be seen that Princess Yuqing is not a stingy person.
Lu Qingyao felt a little relieved.
Xiuxiu found it a little strange. Although the servants in the princess's mansion would not necessarily treat people differently according to their status, they would not be so easy to talk to.
Unless their master has specifically instructed otherwise.
The two looked around. Even though it was dark, they could still sense how many guards were hiding in the garden, both overt and covert.
Look at each other.
I'm a little scared.
Fortunately, they had no plans to visit the princess's mansion at night.
Otherwise, he would probably be regarded as an assassin.
After walking for a long time with the maid, I still didn't see the two little kids.
The backyard of the princess's mansion.
Princess Yuqing had been waiting there for a long time.
After seeing her little girl today, she was in a good mood, but her excitement was still a little hard to calm down.
Her daughter was really well raised by the Lu family. She was smart, clever and cute.
It was exactly what she imagined her daughter to look like.
Miaomiao's appearance is half like her and half like her biological father.
Although I can't be with that person, I have my children by my side.
She had nothing more to ask for.
Seeing Lu Qingyao coming in, Princess Yuqing exempted her from the formalities and gave her a seat.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Qingyao felt that the princess was really pretty and the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
As for the rumors about her being domineering and ruthless...
It's not noticeable at all.
Although you can't judge a book by its cover.
But this appearance is really impossible to ignore.
It seems that the princess is in a good mood now, with curved eyebrows and a smile on her lips.
Looks like someone who is easy to talk to.
Princess Yuqing looks at Madam Lu.
There was no sense of awkwardness or restraint in her at all.
Her eyes are clear, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and her manners are dignified and generous.
I'm afraid many noble ladies from famous families may not be able to match this demeanor.
It is no surprise that her daughter is so smart and well-behaved under her guidance.
She quite admires Miaomiao's adoptive mother.
In the entire Daliang, there are not many women she can look up to.
Princess Yuqing got straight to the point and said, "I heard that Madam Lu came to see me because of your little daughter?"
Lu Qingyao stood up and bowed. "Your Highness, my daughter is young and ignorant. I don't know when she crawled through the dog hole and sneaked into your house. If she has offended you in any way, I apologize to you on her behalf. Could you please let me take them home?"
Looking at Princess Yuqing's expression now, it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
She suddenly felt uneasy.
"Drilling a dog hole?"
The princess showed a surprised expression and told the maid beside her, "Go and look for her quickly. It's getting dark. If Miss Jiang really comes to the mansion, don't let her get lost."
After a cup of tea, the maid came back.
"Your Highness, I have searched the entire garden, but I can't find Miss Jiang."
"No?" Lu Qingyao looked at the maid.
"No...no." The maid lowered her head guiltily, feeling that the lady's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
It makes people dare not look at her.
Princess Yuqing coughed, which drew Lu Qingyao's attention back.
She opened her eyes and said, "Madam Lu, please don't worry. The children are accompanied by servants, so nothing will happen to them. They might be hiding somewhere playing, and you have found them. Maybe they are staying at home now."
She didn't want her daughter to be blamed the first time she met her.
And it seems that the naughty one is the kid from the Yan family, not Miaomiao.
The dog hole was right there, but she didn't crawl in. Instead, she went around to the main gate to look for Yan Cheng'an.
It can be seen that she is very well educated.
Lu Qingyao thought about it.
The two children were surrounded by people with special skills, and ordinary people could do nothing to them.
Nothing should happen.
But the doorman clearly saw Miaomiao coming to the princess's mansion.
Moreover, there are so many eyes watching the princess's mansion, both openly and secretly. If he was really in the princess's mansion, he should have seen it.
She pleaded, "Your Highness, could you please help me look for him? We are also here with Lord Shen's nephew, Yan Cheng'an."
If she could search the garden, she would have looked for it herself.
Princess Yuqing saw Lu Qingyao's expression, which seemed to indicate disbelief. She looked at Xiuxiu who was standing behind her and said, "Madam, why don't you go back and check first? If the child is really not here, I will help you find him even if I have to turn the entire garden upside down."
Lu Qingyao was a little flattered.
It seems that what Princess Yuqing said didn't sound like an excuse.
She nodded slightly at Xiuxiu, "Then let's do as the princess says and go back and take a look."
Or, the two little guys took a walk and really went back.
After all, there is no need for a princess to tease her.
Or an accident happened.
The kids were trapped somewhere.
Lu Qingyao didn't dare to think about it.
