Chapter 129 The Lost Baby
On a tall horse.
A female warrior with a high ponytail.
Holding a little one in my arms.
The horse galloped like lightning and soon arrived in front of Cui Xingzhou.
The little kid grinned at them and said in a baby voice, "Cui Guoguo is going to play... I want to go too..."
"This... the little kid can't go..."
Cui Xingzhou looked at the two, one big and one small, with some embarrassment, wondering how to tell them.
It's impossible to say that he went to secretly follow his aunt and uncle.
According to the report from the family servant, my aunt and her family arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday and stayed overnight at the inn at the foot of Qingyun Temple Mountain.
So he arrived ahead of his parents, ready to observe secretly and test the situation.
"Miaomiao and I are about to go to the grassland. Have you two encountered any problems? Do you need help?" Xiuxiu saw that Cui Xingzhou looked embarrassed, so she asked politely.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qian immediately asked, "If Madam Xiuxiu is not in a hurry to go to the pasture, could you help me?"
Their mission today was to secretly follow Prince Liang and the Princess to see if Prince Liang really beat the Princess when no one was around.
The eldest girl married far away in Liangzhou. She had a very gentle temperament. The letters she sent back always reported good news but not bad news. Even in front of others, she never complained about her husband.
If the eldest girl's dowry nanny had not secretly sent back a letter, who would have expected that King Liang, who always appeared honest and simple in front of outsiders, would have such a twisted heart.
Furthermore, the head of the family asked him to come to look after the young master, fearing that the boy had really seen something, lost his temper, and offended the prince.
After all, that gentleman is not an ordinary royal relative. He is the younger brother of the late emperor and is younger than the current emperor.
He is of high seniority in the royal family.
However, when the prince and princess travel, they are always accompanied by experts. They cannot get close to them at all and can only observe from afar.
It's easy to be exposed.
However, Chen Qian also understood that the reason why Mr. Cui asked the young master to come was that if he was accidentally exposed, King Liang would only think that the young master was playing around and would not think anything else.
But if I could get Xiuxiu's help, it would be different.
This woman's skills are extraordinary. She has been seen sneaking into the house opposite at night several times, and she has also sneaked into the house of Prefect Qin.
Even he discovered it by accident.
The two even fought each other.
He looked at Xiuxiu eagerly, "We were asked by Mr. Cui to find out something. If Madam Xiuxiu could help us, that would be great."
"Of course, let's go..."
When Xiuxiu lowered her head, she saw the little girl's bright eyes looking at her.
As long as there's no blood involved.
Cui Xingzhou looked at the little kid, but felt a little worried. "Aunt Xiuxiu, we are planning to go to Qingyun Temple, a place of quiet cultivation. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to take the little kid with us."
Kids of this age are extremely curious. If they start crying or running around, what's the point of checking?
Chen Qian really wanted to cover his son's mouth and quickly explained: "It's convenient, there's no inconvenience at all! The son is just a little worried about Miaomiao."
Jiang Miaomiao pouted and turned her head away.
Humph! You still think she's in the way.
If it weren't for her, this guy would have either been drowned or sold without even knowing it.
Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Cui Xingzhou.
She didn’t know about other children, but little Miaomiao was the smartest kid she had ever seen.
Whether it's her pretty little face or her hidden intelligence, it's impossible to ignore her.
Ha! I don’t even know who’s getting in the way!
"Mr. Cui, my Miaomiao is so well-behaved and smart. Have you forgotten that she once saved you?"
Cui Xingzhou's face turned red all of a sudden.
There was no need for the little kid to save him, it was just a coincidence.
"Hehe... let's go..."
Cui Xingzhou reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, little Miaomiao, brother will buy you some candy later, okay?"
"not good!"
Jiang Miaomiao ignored him and quickly retracted her little head into Aunt Xiuxiu's cloak.
This made everyone laugh.
"Oh! The little guy is quite grumpy." Even candy can't coax him.
Cui Xingzhou smiled awkwardly, retracted his hand and looked at Xiuxiu.
"Auntie, let's go. I'll tell you the details on the way."
In Qingyun Temple.
A beautiful and dignified lady kneels down and prays before the statue of the Three Pure Ones.
Even the gorgeous clothes could not hide the haggard look on her face.
"May my uncle and aunt be in good health and live a long life... May my son be safe and happy, and live a life without worries..."
Jiang Miaomiao slowly walked up to her, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and looked at her eagerly.
Princess Liang was surprised and asked, "Where did this little dumpling come from?"
The little girl is really pretty, with a delicate and pretty face that makes people want to touch and kiss her.
"Little girl, where are your parents?"
Jiang Miaomiao replied in a baby voice: "Dad is dead, and Mom is lost...Auntie, can you help me find Mom?"
"Poor child!"
Princess Liang touched the little tuft of hair on her head lovingly.
Wouldn't that mean they are orphans and widows?
The child is lost, I wonder how worried the little one’s mother must be?
"Can you tell me, Auntie, what's your name? What's your mother's name? Do you remember where you live?"
"My name is Jiang Miaomiao, my mother's surname is Lu... We live in Wuyi Lane..."
"Little Miaomiao, don't worry, auntie will help you find your mother." Princess Liang took her in her arms.
Such a pretty girl, luckily she was the one who met her. If someone else had taken her away, I can't imagine...
I think the little girl must have been separated from her family in the temple, but Qingyun Temple is crowded with people coming and going, and there are all kinds of people living at the foot of the mountain, so it's really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, she remembered Wuyi Lane, and the homes there could be traced, so she could find out by asking.
Princess Liang instructed the old woman beside her, "Madame Yu, find two people and go back to the mansion immediately. Ask the housekeeper to find out if there is a woman named Lu who has lost her husband in Wuyi Lane."
"My husband's family... their surname should be Jiang. I'm wondering if there's a girl named Jiang Miaomiao missing?"
"Princess, we will be returning home after noon. Why don't you take her back with you and find her a relative?"
"Go ask first. I'm afraid her mother will be anxious waiting."
"The princess is so kind. I will arrange it right away." Nanny Yu quickly retreated and ordered a guard to ride to Cui's house at full speed.
At this time, an old woman in gorgeous clothes came out of the door.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the old woman's eyes. "How can the princess let such a child of unknown origin touch her? It's better to leave it to this old servant."
"No need, how dare I trouble Madam Wu!"
Princess Liang didn't even look at her, but was busy playing with the baby in her arms.
The old woman was relentless, "Princess, the prince doesn't like children. Don't make him unhappy, or you'll suffer..."
Princess Liang was a little angry.
"Stop talking! Get out! Why are you saying this in front of the kids?"
The old woman twitched the corners of her mouth, and wanted to say something but swallowed it back. Her face was gloomy, she lifted her skirt, and walked out of the hall in small steps.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't figure out who was who for a moment, but it was obvious that this old nanny was not a good person and must be on King Liang's side.
Not like a master, nor like a servant...
Who is it?
Being so arrogant in front of the princess...
