"Which princess is it? We don't have any prince consorts here, do we?"

The madam thought they were there to catch them in adultery.

“Princess Ning Le,” the servant replied, then pointed to Yu Ningyao in her arms.

"They're here to find this child."

The madam suddenly realized that the yellow-robed Taoist priest had deceived her.

This child was definitely not abandoned by his family; he was stolen.

The madam was furious but dared not speak out; she was both angry and annoyed, but she had no choice but to carry Yu Ningyao out.

"My dear daughter, Daddy's late." Yu Kangjing's eyes instantly reddened when he saw his daughter.

Less than two hours after they parted, he felt as if an eternity had passed.

"Father." Yu Ningyao nuzzled her head against his chest, looking very dependent.

The madam watched this scene with envy.

He was just clinging to her, now he belongs to someone else.

It looks like a little raccoon dog; I really want to snatch it and raise it myself.

The government is now encouraging people to have more children, and that's what she wants.

"Sir, I bought this child for ten taels of silver..." The madam wanted to fight for custody.

Yu Kangjing instantly put away his loving expression and looked at her with a serious face.

“This is my daughter, but she was kidnapped by a villain. Did you get a contract of indenture before you bought her? Without a contract, it proves you knew the child’s origins were unknown, yet you still bought her. You deserve to be deceived. You are aiding and abetting evil.”

The madam was left speechless after being rebuked.

"Sir, please give us the Second Miss. We need to take her to the Princess's residence; the Princess is waiting for us," the guard behind us reminded us.

“But…” Yu Kangjing couldn’t bear to part with it.

My daughter had just returned to my arms, and I hadn't even had a chance to warm her up yet.

“The princess already knows about what happened at the banquet. She has ordered that the second young lady stay at the princess’s residence for three months. If the old marquis and the old lady are safe and sound, the second young lady will be sent back to the marquis’s residence,” the head guard explained.

Thinking of his parents' attitude, Yu Kangjing sighed helplessly and handed Yu Ningyao over to him.

He said reluctantly, "Then may we visit my daughter at the princess's residence from time to time? Don't worry, we will definitely not disturb the princess."

"Of course." The head guard nodded, picked up Yu Ningyao, and turned to leave.

Yu Ningyao waved to Yu Kangjing, then waved to the madam, as if saying goodbye.

The madam clenched her handkerchief in anger.

hateful.

She couldn't afford to offend either the Marquis's mansion or the princess.

Her precious darling was gone just like that.

Yu Kangjing wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at the madam: "What did that Taoist priest say to you? Where did he go? Where are the documents you left behind from your transaction?"

Yu Kangjing resumed his usual serious demeanor when handling official business.

The madam lost money and the man was gone. She was extremely depressed and sold the yellow-robed Taoist priest out of the blue.

The more Yu Kangjing listened, the more he felt that the Taoist priest was no good.

The things he said and did at the Marquis's residence today were definitely prepared in advance.

After leaving the Drunken Flower Pavilion, Yu Kangjing gave orders to his guards: "Continue the investigation. Even if you have to chase him to the ends of the earth, find this bastard."

He then returned to the Marquis's residence alone, intending to explain to his wife why he had not been able to bring their daughter home.

……

Yu Ningyao traveled to three different places in one day.

From the Marquis's mansion to the brothel, and then from the brothel to the Princess's mansion.

I was so tired that I fell asleep long ago.

Princess Ning Le looked at the sleeping Yu Ningyao and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Little lucky star. I'll keep you company from now on."

The palace maid Lan Yue, who was standing to the side, was still somewhat uneasy. She asked, "Princess, are you really going to keep this child? What if she harms the child in your womb?"

"That Taoist priest is obviously a fraud. I will not believe his lies," Princess Ning Le snorted.

All she knew was that despite having so many children, there was still no good news.

As soon as he hugged Yu Ningyao, news spread that she was pregnant.

Whether she is a lucky star or a jinx, she has her own judgment in her heart.

"By the way, have someone continue to assist Master Yu in his case. Bring that stinking Taoist priest back as soon as possible and interrogate him thoroughly," Princess Ning Le issued a new order.

"Yes."

……

When Yu Ningyao woke up, Princess Ningle was having her dinner.

The prince consort, Lan Zhizhang, brought over a bowl of soup with a beaming smile.

"Ning Le, this is a nourishing soup that I specially ordered to be made for you. We're finally going to have a child."

A shy smile appeared on Princess Ning Le's face.

"Yes, we're finally going to have a baby."

Over the years, the imperial physicians have examined both her and her husband's pulses and said that there were no problems with their health.

Perhaps the time is not yet right for them to have children.

Now, fate has finally brought us together.

Princess Ning Le wanted to take good care of the child in her womb more than anyone else.

"Here, let me feed you." Lan Zhizhang smiled and scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon, bringing it to Princess Ning Le's lips.

Yu Ningyao, who was standing to the side, sniffed.

She felt as if she could smell poison.

Could it be that the problem lies with that bowl of soup?

"System, is there poison in the soup?" she hurriedly asked.

"Yes." the system answered decisively.

Having received an affirmative answer, Yu Ningyao waved to attract Princess Ningle's attention.

"Ah! Ah!"

She already knew everything that happened after she was taken away by the yellow-robed Taoist priest from the system.

This princess is truly beautiful inside and out.

Not only did they not hold a grudge against her for urinating all over her, they also treated her like a lucky star and took her in to raise her.

But he's a really, really good person.

We can't let her die!

"Little Lucky Star, what's wrong?" Princess Ning Le turned to look at her.

"Hug!" Yu Ningyao couldn't tell her directly that there was poison in the soup, so she could only try to get close to her and planned to take the opportunity to overturn the bowl of medicine later.

“Ning Le, you’re still pregnant, let someone else carry her.” Lan Zhizhang frowned slightly.

"It's alright, I just held her today." Princess Ning Le was very fond of Yu Ningyao, so she took her from the maid's arms without thinking.

As soon as Yu Ningyao got into her arms, she reached out and grabbed the bowl of soup from the prince consort's hand.

Lan Zhizhang was caught off guard, which allowed her to succeed.

The sound of the porcelain bowl shattering startled Princess Ning Le.

Lan Zhizhang's face immediately turned gloomy.

Seeing Princess Ning Le looking at him, he changed his expression and said gently, "Ning Le, why don't we send this child back to the Marquis's residence? I'm afraid her presence will frighten you and harm our child."

"She's just a child, she doesn't know anything. It was my fault for not holding her properly, which is why I accidentally spilled the nourishing soup that you had carefully prepared. Please don't hold a grudge against a child, okay?" Princess Ning Le hugged Yu Ning Yao, put her hands together, and made a pleading gesture towards her husband.

Lan Zhizhang sighed helplessly, her tone full of doting: "Alright. Whatever you say. Since you like it, then stay."

He then ordered his maid to clean up the broken soup and broth on the floor, and he and the princess moved aside to have their meal together.

"Okay." Princess Ning Le hugged Yu Ningyao, and her husband kept putting food on her plate.

Both of them had smiles on their faces.

Their interactions were clearly sweet, but Yu Ningyao's intuition told her that something was wrong.

[System, can you help me find out who poisoned this soup?]
