Chapter 301 The Princess Wants to Steal the Child
Afternoon sunshine.
warm.
Autumn winds scatter fallen leaves.
A long and detailed account.
Sunlight filtered through the autumn leaves.
The image fell upon the two beauties, one tall and one short, like a heartwarming painting.
They dug for several hours.
The two were still digging for treasure, having a great time.
Princess Yuqing was watching at first.
Her daughter was digging in the dirt, and she fed her, gave her water, and wiped her sweat.
As she watched, she began to do it herself.
She had been pampered since childhood, surrounded by servants, and had never lifted a finger to do manual labor.
Not to mention digging in the dirt and playing in the mud.
But watching her daughter play, she wanted to experience her daughter's happiness herself and understand her daughter's life.
I want to know why she is happy.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at the princess and thought to herself, "Why is this princess acting like a child? She buried her own treasure and is happier than anyone else at digging it up."
His fair hands and fine clothes were covered in mud.
As a child, I can play however I want.
The princess even got her brocade clothes dirty from playing around, but she didn't care at all.
Seeing the princess in such a state, the servants of the princess's residence felt something was amiss, as they themselves remained radiant and elegant.
They all smeared mud on their bodies, arms, and clothes.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
This isn't just them playing with two children; it's everyone playing with Her Highness the Princess.
Of course, except for Yan Cheng'an, who is a real child.
He was having a great time by himself.
Since the goal was to have this princess as a backer and to cling to her coattails, Jiang Miaomiao had no choice but to risk her life to accompany her.
However, at this very moment, the stunningly beautiful woman who was rolling up her sleeves and helping her dig in the dirt was the complete opposite of Princess Yuqing, whom Aunt Jiang Yue had mentioned.
She had absolutely no trace of a noble princess.
In modern terms, someone that age would be considered the older sister next door.
A beautiful and gentle older sister.
unconsciously.
The sun gradually set in the west.
The shadows of the trees grew longer and longer.
Jiang Miaomiao thought that she had been out for several hours, and if she didn't go back soon, her second brother would find out.
She took Princess Yuqing's hand with her little dirty hands and said, "Princess Aunt, Mother will be back soon, and I should go home too."
Princess Yuqing was very reluctant to part with her daughter, and she held her daughter's little hand, asking her all sorts of questions.
"Miaomiao, are you very afraid of your mother?"
Jiang Miaomiao thought for a moment, "I'm afraid when I make mistakes, but not usually."
Will your mother hit you?
"No, I won't hit you at all." You just said you were afraid when you made a mistake, so getting hit is just another way of making a mistake.
Who would admit it themselves?
Do you love your mother? Do you want her to be your mother for the rest of your life?
"Yes, Mother is the best mother." Jiang Miaomiao thought to herself, the princess's question was too strange.
Is it even possible to choose whether or not you can be a mother and daughter?
Princess Yuqing didn't know what else to ask. It was clear that her daughter really loved her adoptive mother.
Perhaps in her eyes, that was her own mother.
Lu Qingyao probably never told Miaomiao about her background.
"Miaomiao, will you come to see your aunt again tomorrow?" Princess Yuqing asked.
"Relatives are coming to visit tomorrow, and Miaomiao has to stay with them. She'll come to see her aunt in a few days." Jiang Miaomiao thought to herself that she wouldn't be able to go out for several days.
Princess Yuqing had them escorted back, returning the way they came.
Watching her child leave, she felt extremely reluctant to let her go, and wanted to hide her away.
I just want her to be my child.
She had asked the chef at Yipinju to prepare all the dishes, but her child hadn't eaten a single bite.
I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.
It's not enough to keep seeing my daughter secretly like this; I need to find a legitimate reason to see her.
Jiang Miaomiao went back, retracing her steps.
Liu Yun led her and Yan Cheng'an to climb over the wall.
Yan Cheng'an found it very exciting, sometimes climbing over walls and sometimes digging for treasure.
He was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little worried. It was already dinnertime, and her second brother should be looking for her everywhere.
Using the excuse of playing hide-and-seek again probably won't work.
If all else fails, she'll just tell the whole truth.
It was said that Princess Yuqing missed Cao Jiayue, and seeing her reminded her of her own child, so she brought her there to ease her longing.
Having found a legitimate reason to visit Princess Yuqing, she prepared to confess to her mother upon returning home.
However, she hadn't even seen her mother yet.
Liu Yun carried her over the wall back to her own courtyard. Her feet had barely touched the ground when Aunt Xiuxiu and her second brother suddenly appeared.
Standing in front of them.
Liu Yun: ...Oh no! I can't explain this anymore, I'd better slip away first.
He was just following orders; this matter... let's wait for the princess to explain herself.
Jiang Ziyan stared wide-eyed at the person who had jumped onto the wall without saying a word, and asked Xiuxiu, "Auntie, am I seeing things? Is that Liu Yun?"
Why are you even helping Princess Yuqing steal children?
Xiuxiu frowned slightly. "It's him."
Jiang Miaomiao looked at Xiuxiu and gave her a sweet and obedient smile, preparing to play dumb for a while.
She tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Auntie, when did you come back? Where's Mother? Did she come back with you?"
Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at the little girl. "Laughing won't help. Wait for your mother to come back and teach you a lesson."
On the way back, both Xiuxiu and Jiang Ziyan had dark faces.
I wanted to say a few words to those two kids, but I held back and waited for my older sister to come back and handle it.
It's clear that this kind of wall-climbing incident isn't entirely the child's fault.
Otherwise, why would someone give so much gold and silver jewelry to two children?
Princess Yuqing must have some ulterior motive.
dark.
After finishing her meal, Miao Miao noticed that her mother still hadn't come home.
She didn't get scolded by her brother or aunt.
I went to sleep obediently. Before the storm comes, it's more important to get a good night's sleep.
Yan Cheng'an had never seen such an obedient Miao Miao before, so he followed her example and kept a low profile.
Following Jiang Miaomiao is never a bad idea.
In the dead of night.
Three horse-drawn carriages appeared in front of Jiang Miaomiao's house.
Lu Qingyao escorted the women of the Lu family back, and after they entered the gate, she took them directly to their respective courtyards in the back.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already late at night.
Only then did Xiuxiu have a moment to talk to her older sister about the child.
“Sister, Princess Yuqing has ill intentions towards Miaomiao. I suspect she wants to steal the child.”
"Pfft..." Lu Qingyao spat out a mouthful of tea. "What did you say? The princess wants to steal the child!"
Xiuxiu brought out the treasures the two children had obtained from their treasure hunt that day.
Several boxes full of gold and silver jewelry.
"Sister, who would believe that these treasures were dug up in the traitor's garden? And Liu Yun even took Miao Miao over the wall."
