"Miss, no matter where you go in the future, you must take me with you. You must never abandon me like you did this time."

I saw Xiaotao crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her face full of tear marks, which made people feel pity.

When the woman saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

She sighed softly, reached out and wiped away the tears on the maid's face, and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry. From now on, I will let you follow me when I go out."

After receiving the woman's affirmative answer, Xiao Tao nodded quickly and responded with sobs, "Yes! Thank you, Miss!"

"By the way, early in the morning, I vaguely heard a noise coming from outside the door. What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao slapped her forehead as if waking from a dream, and blamed herself, "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot about this. Miss, it's the master and the second young master who came to visit you."

As she spoke, she quickly wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, fearing that others would see her in such a miserable state.

"I see."

The woman nodded thoughtfully and continued, "So where are they now?"

"The Master and the Second Young Master have been waiting for you in the hall. The Prince has instructed that they come to see you after you wake up."

"okay, I get it."

The woman responded and walked towards the hall. When she reached the hall, Wu Qingyue saw Wu Chiwei pacing back and forth in the hall from a distance, his face full of anxiety.

"Daddy." She called softly.

Wu Chiwei looked up suddenly when he heard the voice. When he saw that it was his beloved daughter, he quickly stepped forward and said with concern, "Girl, you really scared your father!"

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the woman from head to toe. After confirming that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness you're safe, otherwise I really don't know how I would explain this to your mother."

"I'm an unfilial daughter. I've caused my parents to worry about me."

"Don't ever scare us like this again, okay?"

"Well, my daughter knows."

"Sister, I'm so glad to see you're okay. Your sister-in-law was so worried she couldn't sleep last night, fearing something might have happened to you."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

"We're all family, so why be polite? But..."

Wu Qingwen paused. "How could you have run to the theater in the west and forgotten the time to return to the palace?"

When Wu Qingyue heard the words "west" and "theater", she was stunned.

At this moment, the man quickly explained for her, "That's right, the play really wasn't that interesting. Who would have thought it could be so fascinating."

Wu Qingyue instantly understood his intentions after hearing this. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times before she feigned composure and agreed, "That's right, this play is indeed not very good."

However, Wu Qingwen didn't buy it. He frowned and scolded, "If you don't think it looks good, then why did you stay so late?"

Faced with his brother's question, Wu Qingyue was speechless for a moment. After a moment's thought, he answered with a stiff upper lip: "Uh... I just want to see how bad this play is."

Wu Qingwen: “…”

What kind of fallacy is this?

"Okay, okay, don't mention this anymore."

Wu Chiwei glared at Wu Qingwen and said, "Since Yue'er is safe and sound, let's just leave it at that."

Wu Qingwen snorted and said no more.

"I have some good news."

"What is it?"

"Today, Xiao Muli sent someone over to tell me that the truth behind Brother Yue'er's false accusation has been revealed."

"what? What?"

Wu Qingwen widened his eyes and looked at the other person in disbelief, his voice unconsciously rising an octave because of surprise.

Then, the expression on his face quickly changed to one of surprise and joy. "Why is it so sudden? Is this thing reliable? It can't be some groundless rumor, right?"

Xiao Shiyi shook his head: "Xiao Muli personally sent someone to tell me, the news is absolutely reliable."

Hearing this name, Wu Qingwen felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill. He became very excited, waving his fists in the air and almost jumping three feet high!

He kept muttering, "That's great! That's great! I knew Big Brother was wrongly accused. He's such an honest and kind person, how could he do such a thing! Fortunately, this matter has finally been resolved, but... what on earth is going on?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specific reasons at this point. But since Xiao Muli is involved, there must be a deeper purpose behind this. Regardless, as long as Big Brother is safe and sound, nothing else matters. However... the people behind this rumor-mongering and causing this trouble must not be let off lightly! They must be brought to justice and punished accordingly, serving as a warning to others!"

When he said this, the man's eyes were deep, revealing a sense of sophistication and experience.

Obviously, he already had a vague answer in his mind about Wu Qingchen, but he didn't intend to reveal it to others at the moment.

However, Wu Qingwen, who was standing by, didn't notice his father's change of expression. Seeing that his father hadn't said anything for a long time, he curiously leaned over and asked, "Dad, why aren't you talking? Are you too happy and have gone stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chiwei was immediately furious. He glared at his son fiercely and scolded him, "You little bastard, how dare you talk to your father like that? You have no respect for your father!"

Wu Qingwen was somewhat bewildered by his father's sudden scolding. He muttered in retort, "What's wrong with me? I just asked a normal question. Why are you so angry? Really..."

Wu Chiwei snorted coldly, "You are so reckless. When will you be as steady as your elder brother?"

After hearing this, Wu Qingwen felt a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to talk back.

The family happily had lunch in the palace, and then the father and son left.

As soon as the father and son left, the woman began to "settle the score" -

"How come I didn't know I was listening to a play in the theater in the west, huh?"

The man immediately came over and said, "Calm down, my lady. I'm running out of excuses, right? I can't say that you were imprisoned by Xiao Muli, can I?"

"Of course I can't tell you."

If I said that, my dad and the others would definitely worry about me.

"So, I can use this excuse."

Wu Qingyue: "..." Although Xiao Shiyi's fabricated excuse left her speechless, she didn't expect her father and second brother to actually believe it...

Wu Qingyue was speechless for a moment.

What a funny father and son!
