After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

Soon, the man and the dog successfully found the location of the dog hole, crawled inside, and arrived at the inner courtyard of the Si Mansion.

It was already nighttime, and the entire Si residence was quiet.

Only the lights in the main courtyard remained on.

"Go find your sister-in-law quickly."

Shi Miaomiao sat in the pavilion, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket, and cracked them open with a loud cracking sound.

This little baby has really good teeth.

"Woooooooo..."

Every second she heard, someone was crying.

In the dead of night, this faint crying sound was rather eerie.

But the little baby wasn't afraid; instead, he was curious.

Sure enough, at the end of the corridor, she saw a woman in pink sitting on the railing, secretly crying.

"Sister-in-law, is that Ni?" Shi Miaomiao called softly from behind her.

Si Xue'er wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked around, but found nothing.

She was completely out of her mind; that night, she actually felt as if the little princess was calling her.

"Sister-in-law, it really is Ni!" Shi Miaomiao exclaimed happily.

That's exactly who came looking for her.

When Si Xue'er heard the sound, she turned around again and found a little baby squatting behind her.

She's such a tiny little thing; if she doesn't speak, you wouldn't even notice her.

"Little princess, what brings you here?" Si Xue'er was quite surprised, yet also a little excited.

What an amazing baby!

He was able to go to the Si family compound all by himself.

"Shh!"

The two people should make the movements at the same time to avoid disturbing others.

"Sister-in-law, is Ni heartbroken for the Crown Prince?" Shi Miaomiao asked.

Si Xue'er carried her to the crossbeam and sat down next to her.

"Your Highness, is he alright?" Si Xue'er asked anxiously.

Shi shook his head every second.

"not good."

Si Xue'er became even more anxious: "What happened to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"My Crown Prince has lost his soul. He hasn't eaten a single grain of rice or drunk a drop of water. Judging by his appearance, he'll starve to death in less than three days." Shi Miaomiao's eyes were full of sympathy.

Si Xue'er felt guilty.

"It's all Xue'er's fault. If Xue'er had asked Mother earlier, His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have been harmed..." She pleaded with Shi Miaomiao, "Princess, please take good care of His Highness the Crown Prince and don't let anything happen to him."

“I can’t help Ni with this,” Shi Miaomiao shook her head.

Si Xue'er asked, "Why?"

"Because I'm still a baby, I need someone to take care of me," she replied seriously.

Si Xue'er was embarrassed.

Perhaps he's so heartbroken that he's uttering such nonsense.

"Sister-in-law, is the Crown Prince special in Ni's heart?" Shi Miaomiao asked.

Si Xue'er, her eyes red, smiled and nodded emphatically.

"Even before I met His Highness the Crown Prince, Xue'er admired him. On the Lantern Festival, when I first saw him, I felt that he was very special. In terms of both talent and character, His Highness the Crown Prince was the best."

Shi Miaomiao said, "Then why do you want to return the jade pendant to the Crown Prince?"

He was very sad.

"The Si family has no one to recommend them for official positions. My father only became a Vice Minister of Commerce and Industry through his unwavering loyalty. He would not have been promoted if it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince's appreciation. Even so, the Si family must not forget its roots. What is not our ambition, the Si family will never covet."

These are things her mother taught her.

Today's matter was entirely decided by my mother, who made her refuse His Highness the Crown Prince's offer.

Such a distinguished person is beyond the reach of the Si family.

Even... how could someone like His Highness the Crown Prince possibly be interested in a woman like her who is not outstanding in any way?

"So, Ni, what are your own thoughts?" Your own thoughts are also very important.

Si Xue'er's eyes were red, and a crystal tear fell onto her cheek.

"Of course Xue'er doesn't want to disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince, but marriage is a matter that cannot be decided by oneself. Besides, I am indeed not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Her mother also told her that as a nobleman, the Crown Prince would marry three wives and four concubines in the future, and that her relationship with him might only be a passing fancy.

It would be better to marry into an ordinary family and live a peaceful and stable life.

"Then, Ni, would you mind telling the Crown Prince about these things?" Shi Miaomiao asked.

She clutched a musical note in her chubby little paws.

"This is a matter for the Si family. Xue'er did not want to trouble His Highness. It is Xue'er who has failed His Highness's wishes. Xue'er only hopes that His Highness is happy."

“Without Ni, Prince wouldn’t be happy,” Shi Miaomiao said earnestly.

Si Xue'er's eyes reddened even more.

She also wanted to hurt him.

"Okay, then I won't say." Shi Miaomiao wouldn't force the issue.

Now, she has figured out why.

The Si family probably didn't dare to aspire to marry into the family, fearing that she would suffer mistreatment if she married the Crown Prince, and they couldn't support her.

These things are still easy to resolve. As long as the Crown Prince expresses his determination and treats her wholeheartedly, there is still hope.

Seeing that Shi Miaomiao was about to leave, Si Xue'er called out, "Little Princess!"

She stood up and pleaded with Shi Miaomiao, "Your Highness, is he really not good enough?"

"It seems that my sister-in-law still cares about the Crown Prince. Even though she is sad and upset, she still thinks about him. I didn't misjudge her."

"Sister-in-law, does Ni want to see him?" Shi Miaomiao asked very seriously.

Si Xue'er dared not think about it.

"Mother has already set a rule that we are not allowed to leave the manor at will. Xue'er dares not disobey Mother's orders, nor does she want to disappoint Mother."

"Sigh, this kind of thing happens a lot in my world too. As long as both sides are determined, there are no parents that can't be won over. If you try to please both sides, it's destined to end badly."

We need to clear up the misunderstanding first, reunite their hearts, give the Crown Prince hope to persevere, and then give him time to resolve the issue.

Soon, Si Xue'er regretted it.

She genuinely admired the Crown Prince, but was also deeply worried about him; she didn't want to have any regrets.

If we could see the Crown Prince and explain things to him, perhaps he would feel better.

"Xue'er, is it really possible to see His Highness the Crown Prince?" Si Xue'er asked cautiously.

A voice inside me was shouting: See him, see him, go see him.

"Yes!" Shi Miaomiao nodded emphatically.

She took a talisman out of her pocket and handed it to Si Xue'er.

“Sister-in-law, if you run into someone later, just turn this talisman around in front of them a couple of times. Anyway, it’s dark, and they won’t be able to see who you are.”

Si Xue'er couldn't help but admire the little baby.

To be so talented at such a young age, he must be no ordinary person.

"And what about you?" Si Xue'er asked.

Shi Miaomiao blushed: "Ni, go first, I'll cover the rear."

How could I possibly tell her that I crawled in through a dog hole?

"Dog God, get out here right now!"

The dog god grinned, stuck out its tongue, and hopped out, followed by a little spotted dog.

Every second was stunned.

The Si family actually has dogs!

"Ni, did you really find a girlfriend at the Si residence?"

She glanced at the little puppy, her face full of shyness, seemingly quite satisfied with it!

"She's quite cute, how can you have such bad taste!"
