Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 129 The Lost Child
On a tall, imposing horse.
A female warrior with a high ponytail.
She was holding a tiny baby in her arms.
The horse galloped swiftly and soon arrived in front of Cui Xingzhou.
The little one grinned at them and said in a childish voice, "Brother Cui is going to play... I want to go too..."
"This...the little one can't go..."
Cui Xingzhou looked at the two children with some difficulty, wondering how to talk to them.
You can't exactly say that he went to secretly follow his aunt and uncle.
According to the servant, my aunt and her family arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday and have stayed overnight at an inn at the foot of Qingyun Temple.
So he arrived before his parents, intending to observe secretly and test the waters.
"Miao Miao and I are on our way to the grassland. Have you two encountered any trouble? Do you need any help?" Xiu Xiu noticed the trouble on Cui Xingzhou's face and asked politely.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qian immediately asked, "If Lady Xiuxiu isn't in a hurry to go to the pasture, could you do me a favor?"
Their mission today was to secretly follow King Liang and his wife to see if King Liang really beat the wife when no one was around.
The eldest daughter married far away to Liangzhou. She was the gentlest of all, and the letters she sent back were always filled with good news, never bad. Even in front of others, she never complained about her husband in the slightest.
If it weren't for the eldest daughter's dowry maid secretly sending a message back, who would have guessed that the seemingly honest and simple Prince Liang would have such a twisted mind?
Furthermore, the patriarch sent him here to keep an eye on the young master, fearing that the boy might have seen something, lost his composure, and offend that prince.
After all, that gentleman was no ordinary member of the imperial family; he was the late emperor's younger brother, born of the same mother, and was even younger than the current emperor.
They hold a very high position within the royal family.
However, when the prince and princess travel, they are always surrounded by experts, making it impossible for them to get close; they can only investigate from a distance.
It is easy to expose.
However, Chen Qian also understood that the reason Mr. Cui sent the young master here was that if he were to be exposed by accident, the King of Liang would only think that the young master was being silly and playful, and would not think anything else.
But if we could get Xiuxiu's help, things would be different.
This woman is exceptionally skilled; I've seen her sneak into the house across the street at night several times, and she's also broken into Prefect Qin's house.
Even he discovered it by accident.
The two have even fought each other.
He looked at Xiuxiu earnestly, "We were asked by Mr. Cui to inquire about something. If Mrs. Xiuxiu can lend a hand, that would be wonderful."
"Of course, let's go then..."
Xiuxiu looked down and saw the little girl's bright eyes looking at her.
As long as it doesn't involve bloodshed, it's fine.
Cui Xingzhou looked at the little child, but had some concerns. "Aunt Xiuxiu, we plan to go to Qingyun Temple. It might be inconvenient to take the little child there in a place of quiet cultivation."
Toddlers this age are extremely curious. If they start crying and fussing or wandering around, what's the point of checking them?
Chen Qianzhen wanted to cover his young master's mouth and quickly explained, "It's convenient, there's no inconvenience at all! Young master is just a little worried about Miaomiao."
Jiang Miaomiao pouted and turned her head away.
Hmph! They even think she's in their way.
If it weren't for her, this guy would either have drowned or been sold off without even knowing it.
Xiuxiu raised an eyebrow at Cui Xingzhou.
She didn't know about the other children, but Xiao Miaomiao was the smartest little baby she had ever seen.
Whether it's her pretty little face or her subtle intelligence, she's impossible to ignore.
Ha! We don't even know who's in the way yet!
"Young Master Cui, my Miaomiao is so well-behaved and clever. Have you forgotten? She even saved your life!"
Cui Xingzhou's face flushed red instantly.
He didn't need a little kid to save him; it was just a coincidence.
"Hehe... Let's go then..."
Cui Xingzhou reached out and patted the little girl's head, coaxing her with a smile, "Little Miaomiao, don't be angry. I'll buy you candy later, okay?"
"not good!"
Jiang Miaomiao ignored him and quickly shrank her little head back into Aunt Xiuxiu's cloak.
This amused everyone.
"Oh! This little guy has quite a temper." Even candy can't coax him.
Cui Xingzhou gave an awkward smile, withdrew his hand, and looked at Xiuxiu.
"Auntie, let's go. I'll tell you the details on the way."
Inside Qingyun Temple.
A beautiful and dignified noblewoman knelt before the Three Pure Ones, praying for blessings.
Even her finest clothes couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.
"May my uncle and aunt enjoy good health and live a long life... May my son be safe and well, and live a carefree life..."
Jiang Miaomiao slowly walked up to her, tugged at her clothes, and looked at her expectantly.
Princess Liang asked in surprise, "Where did this little dumpling come from?"
The little girl is so pretty, with a delicate, exquisitely beautiful face that makes you want to touch and kiss her.
"Little girl, where are your parents?"
Jiang Miaomiao replied in her childish voice, "My father is dead, and my mother is lost... Auntie, can you help me find my mother?"
"poor child!"
Princess Liang affectionately stroked the little tuft of hair on her head.
Wouldn't that leave an orphan and a widow?
If a child goes missing, one can only imagine how worried the little one's mother must be.
"Can you tell your auntie what your name is? What's your mother's name? Do you remember where you live?"
"My name is Jiang Miaomiao, my mother's surname is Lu... I live in Wuyi Lane..."
"Little Miaomiao, don't worry, Auntie will help you find your mother." Princess Liang embraced her.
Such a pretty girl, it's lucky she was the one who bumped into her; if someone else had taken advantage of her, I can't even imagine what would have happened...
It seems the little girl must have gotten separated from her family in the temple. However, with so many people coming and going from Qingyun Temple, and all sorts of people from all walks of life, it was truly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, she remembered Wuyi Lane, where all the families were traceable and could be found with a simple inquiry.
Princess Liang instructed the old woman beside her: "Granny Yu, find two people to set off back to the manor immediately and have the steward inquire whether there is a widow surnamed Lu in Wuyi Lane."
"My husband's family... should be surnamed Jiang. Should we ask if there's a missing girl named Jiang Miaomiao?"
"Your Highness, we'll be returning to the manor after noon. Why don't we take her back with us and then try to find her relatives?"
"Go ask first, I'm afraid her mother will get impatient."
"Your Highness is truly kind-hearted. This old servant will make the arrangements immediately." Granny Yu quickly retreated and instructed a guard to ride swiftly to the Cui residence.
At that moment, an old woman dressed in fine clothes walked in from outside the door.
A hint of displeasure flashed in the old woman's eyes. "How can the princess be allowed to handle a child of unknown origin? You should leave him to this old servant."
"No need, how could I trouble Granny Wu!"
Princess Liang didn't even glance at her, instead busying herself with the baby in her arms.
The old woman persisted, "Your Highness, the Prince doesn't like children. Don't upset him, or you'll suffer the consequences..."
Princess Liang was somewhat annoyed.
"Stop talking and get out! Why say these things in front of the child?"
The old woman's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something but swallowed it back. With a dark face, she lifted her skirt and took quick, small steps out of the palace gate.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't tell who was who for a moment, but it was obvious that this old woman was no good person and must be on the side of Prince Liang.
Neither like a master nor a servant...
Who is he?
To be so arrogant in front of the princess...
