Shengjing Noble

"I don't know when the prince will ask me to do it, just tell me."

Fu Wuyang lowered his eyes, took out half of the jade ring from his bosom, and said in a low voice with some sadness: "When I was young, I had a childhood sweetheart with a girl, and we were in love, but because of the difference in status, we could never be together. Later, she married far away in Mobei."

"Later, I heard that she and her husband died one after another, leaving behind an infant daughter with no one to take care of her, so I personally went to Mobei to bring the child here."

"I wanted to keep her in the palace, but the wet nurse I found outside turned out to be a vicious person. Not only did she steal the gold, silver and jewelry I had, she also took my adopted daughter away!"

When Su Yongcheng heard this, he immediately became furious: "This behavior is really a heinous crime. Don't worry, Your Majesty, your daughter will definitely be found!"

Fu Wuyang raised the corners of his lips and stared at him with deep eyes: "Whether it can be found or not actually depends on Lord Su."

"Ah? Your humble servant..." Su Yongcheng looked confused.

"I just got news recently that the wet nurse should be from Qiu County. She hid in Qiu County with the child. The child was also wearing half a jade ring."

As he spoke, Fu Wuyang took out half of a jade ring from his arms.

"This is a relic of my mother's. I split it into two pieces. I wear one piece and give the other to my adopted daughter. So Lord Su, please take care of it. If you can find the other half of this jade ring, you will be able to find my adopted daughter."

Su Yongcheng nodded immediately: "Understood! I will do my best to investigate the matter that the prince has instructed! Even if I have to turn Qiu County upside down, I will not miss any family, and I will try to reunite the prince and the little princess as soon as possible!"

Fu Wuyang curled his lips with satisfaction: "Okay, in that case, I'll have to trouble you, Lord Su. I have something else to do so I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

After saying that, he stood up and strode away.

Su Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then his eyes were filled with excitement. He immediately ordered someone to call Liu Ruyan to the study to discuss the matter.

……

study.

Su Yongcheng told the whole story from beginning to end, and Liu Ruyan gradually became excited from being confused.

"Master, this child seems... seems to be in our county government office!"

"What did you say? How is that possible!"

Su Yongcheng obviously didn't believe it. After all, how could such a good thing happen in the world?

King Xiaoyao had just finished speaking when he was still worrying about how to start the search, but Liu Ruyan told him that the child had been found. Isn't this nonsense?

"Stop messing around and think about where to start your investigation."

"Oh, sir, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, follow me!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan dragged Su Yongcheng to Su Lanxin's door, just in time to see her opening the door and coming out.

"Father? Mother? Why are you two here?"

Su Lanxin's eyes flashed with doubt.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan immediately pulled her aside and asked, "Where is the child named Tongtong?"

"She kept crying, and it was so annoying. She's now much more obedient after I gave her a good scolding!" Su Lanxin said nonchalantly.

Su Yongcheng was furious when he heard this: "You've ruined the situation! Quickly open the door and let me in to take a look!"

After saying that, without caring that Su Lanxin was still standing there, he pushed her aside and rushed into the house.

I saw Tongtong hiding in the corner with red and swollen cheeks, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and his thin little body curled up and trembling.

She heard someone push the door open, and begged for mercy in fear: "Don't hit me, wuwuwu... I will be obedient, I won't dare to do it again, wuwuwu..."

Su Yongcheng was completely dumbfounded watching this scene. If she was really the adopted daughter of King Xiaoyao, then their Su family would be finished!

"You...you little bitch, how could you treat a child like this!"

Su Yongcheng ran over and tried to help Tongtong up, but she screamed in fright and then fainted.

Su Lanxin rolled her eyes in disdain and said, "Father, he's just a naughty kid. Seeing how nervous you are, someone who doesn't know would think he's some noble person."

"Shut up!" Su Yongcheng shouted angrily, "What do you know? When she wakes up, kneel down and apologize!"

"What?" Su Lanxin couldn't hold it in any longer. She said angrily, "Why would you ask me to apologize to such a lowly bastard?"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap was heard and Su Lanxin's head was knocked off balance. She was so shocked that she even forgot the pain.

Su Yongcheng was furious. He turned around, picked up the unconscious Tongtong in his arms, and walked out without looking back.

Su Lanxin finally reacted and started to cry out hysterically: "Mother, he actually beat me for that little bastard! Could it be that this is his illegitimate daughter he had outside?"

Liu Ruyan quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth to comfort her, "Xin'er, don't talk nonsense, that child..."

She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She quickly turned around and ran outside to look. After making sure there was no one there, she immediately closed the door.

Then he pulled Su Lanxin to the bed and sat down, and then explained.

"King Xiaoyao just came."

"Who is King Xiaoyao?" Su Lanxin said disdainfully.

"King Xiaoyao is the emperor's most capable right-hand man. When the late emperor was alive, his mother was his favorite. Although he does not care about Chaoyang's affairs, he is very influential in the martial arts world and can be said to be in a high position of power."

Listening to Liu Ruyan's description, Su Lanxin frowned and asked, "How does it compare to the prince?"

"Even the Crown Prince has to respectfully address him as the Emperor's Uncle. Not only that, if he can't get the support of King Xiaoyao, he might even lose his position as Crown Prince!"

Su Lanxin was stunned when she heard this. After all, in her opinion, the most powerful person was the king of a country, followed by the crown prince.

But at this moment, a person who is more powerful than the prince suddenly appeared. How could she not be tempted?

"What does that have to do with that little bastard just now?"

"That child might be the long-lost adopted daughter of the Prince of Xiaoyao! If we help the prince find his adopted daughter, it would be such a great favor. He will definitely not treat our Su family unfairly. By then, with the support of the Prince of Xiaoyao, the Lu family will not be able to compete with us even with their imperial decree as county lord!"

"So powerful? Then what I did just now... Oh no, no wonder my father was so angry. I saw that child crying and was very annoying, so I just slapped her a few times. Who knew that she could not bear a beating so well? Really, how do I know whose adopted daughter she is..."

Su Lanxin sounded aggrieved and depressed as she spoke.

"Listen to me, my dear child. Listen to your father later and kowtow to that girl to apologize and try to get her forgiveness. After all, she is a child and will forget the pain once you give her a candy. When she recognizes King Xiaoyao, we will be her great benefactors. Even if you cannot marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion, if you can marry King Xiaoyao, you will be like a phoenix flying up a tree!"

Su Lanxin curled her lips in disdain: "The emperor's younger brother, the prince's uncle, they sound very old... I don't care about old men."

"Silly girl, this King Xiaoyao is the late emperor's son. He is only in his early twenties now, and is a young talent!"

Su Lanxin couldn't help but brighten up: "Really?"
