"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid, Miaomiao! The bad guys are gone."

Princess Liang gently touched Jiang Miaomiao's little face and comforted her softly.

"Little Miaomiao must be starving. Come on, Auntie will take you to get something to eat." Princess Liang took her hand and headed towards the inner chambers in the backyard.

As she walked, she instructed her maid to fetch her some snacks.

The backyard was full of women, and the guards were all stationed outside, which gave Cui Xingzhou and his group the opportunity to sneak in.

The two found a dog hole...

Xiao Miaomiao looked around and only felt at ease when she saw the little red bird on the tree branch in front of the house, and then followed Princess Liang.

After observing her, she found that the princess was indeed as Cui had described: gentle and virtuous, and very fond of children.

However, she had a faint smell of herbs on her body... and a faint smell of blood.

Jiang Miaomiao was able to smell it because she had a very sensitive sense of smell; if it were someone else, they would have no way of noticing it.

Because those smells were probably masked by the fragrance on her clothes.

Moreover, the scent was rather strong and didn't quite match the princess's gentle and quiet nature.

Xiao Miaomiao felt a little sore; this princess aunt was so gentle to a strange child.

How dare that damned Prince Liang lay a hand on her!

Princess Liang took a piece of cake, broke it in half, and handed one piece to Xiao Miaomiao, saying, "There's nothing good to eat right now, just have this for now. When we get back to Jiangzhou, Auntie will have someone make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Auntie... It's delicious!" Jiang Miaomiao took a big bite.

Princess Liang smiled, her eyes crinkling, and a long-lost smile appeared on her lips. "Eat more if you like it."

I gave her some water.

Seeing how much the little guy was enjoying his food, I couldn't resist putting the remaining half into my own mouth.

Sweet, so sweet!

Looking out at the road home that's so close at hand.

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

This scene happened to be seen by Granny Yu, who had just entered the room. The old woman's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Your Highness, this old servant hasn't seen you laugh so heartily in so long..."

Her princess was clearly of immense nobility, yet she lived a very miserable life.

Princess Liang put down the pastries, her face darkening. "Alright, stop crying like that, or others will see..."

"Where did this wild child come from? Take him away immediately, he's disturbing my peace."

The words have not yet fallen.

A deep voice came from outside the door.

It startled Xiao Miaomiao.

Turning my head, I saw a man dressed in a blue brocade robe with gold auspicious cloud patterns enter.

The middle-aged man had a kind and honest face, was slightly overweight, and had a chubby face that looked a bit childlike. His face was full of smiles.

His smile is endearing.

The smile didn't reach his eyes...

Jiang Miaomiao snuggled closer to Princess Liang.

Without a doubt, this person is the Prince of Liang. He is dressed in casual clothes, and judging from the color and pattern, he and the Princess are wearing matching outfits.

If I hadn't heard Cui mention it beforehand, I would never have imagined that this man would actually hit someone.

As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance.

When King Liang saw Jiang Miaomiao, he was stunned for a moment, his smile froze, and his eyes became somewhat sharp.

"What's the Princess Consort doing bringing a little brat here? Send him back to where he came from!"

Princess Liang quickly rose to her feet. "Your Highness, I beg you! Please let her stay. Perhaps we'll find her family by tomorrow... I won't let her appear before you..."

He then instructed Granny Yu to take Xiao Miaomiao away.

Jiang Miaomiao clearly felt the beautiful princess shrink back, tighten her grip on her hand, and her voice tremble slightly.

So he grabbed the princess's sleeve and wouldn't let go.

I'd like to see if this man will reveal his true colors when he gets angry.

Seeing this, Princess Liang said cautiously, "Wuyi Lane is where all the high-ranking officials and nobles of Jiangzhou reside. Judging from this child's appearance, she must be of noble birth. I have already sent someone to find her family..."

Princess Liang looked up at her husband, with whom she had been together for over a decade.

I believe I understand it quite well.

Since it was his first time in Jiangzhou, he naturally wanted to make a good impression on his aunt and uncle. Even if he didn't like Xiao Miaomiao, he would still stay.

really.

King Liang glanced at Jiang Miaomiao and pondered for a moment.

He warned, "You can stay, but put away your frivolous thoughts and play your part well, or else..."

After saying that, he walked away.

Jiang Miaomiao looked up at the princess.

She pursed her lips tightly, making her already pale face even paler.

"Your Highness, perhaps we should tell the Grand Tutor and the Old Madam, otherwise you'll probably suffer again when we return from Jiangzhou..." Granny Yu said softly, wiping away her tears.

"No, if I tell her, I'll never see my daughter again..."

Princess Liang suddenly straightened her face, "Granny Yu, if you still want to stay by my side, you'd better watch your mouth!"

"Yes...this old servant understands!" Granny Yu lowered her head and dared not say another word.

Jiang Miaomiao looked completely bewildered.

She sat obediently on the stool, swinging her legs and eating snacks.

Sigh! Being an undercover agent isn't easy.

Being a competent undercover agent is even more difficult.

Even though the snacks are not tasty, you have to pretend you really want to eat them.

It's so sweet it's almost cloying.

Even though they were already full, they kept stuffing more food into their mouths...

It must be said, her acting skills are top-notch!

The child's innocent and naive appearance swept away the gloom in Princess Liang's heart.

Outside, two people crawled in through the dog hole.

Hiding in the corner to eavesdrop.

Cui Xingzhou and Chen Qian originally intended to hide in the tree.

Unfortunately, in winter, the trees either lose all their leaves or are covered with yellow leaves.

They were all dressed in black, they were so eye-catching!

But one person was able to easily climb onto the roof and disappear before their eyes like a gust of wind.

The roof tiles didn't make a sound even when they were moved.

That's it!

If you're not as skilled as others, you can only crawl through a dog hole.

A man can bend and stretch.

But I couldn't hear a single thing they said inside.

King Liang seemed to have encountered something happy; he entered the house smiling and came out smiling again.

Jiang Miaomiao stayed by Princess Liang's side the whole time, and Prince Liang did not appear during the meal.

Only that old nanny, Wu, was allowed to keep an eye on things.

The old woman watched as the princess held a child of unknown origin in her arms, wiping his drool and feeding him.

His eyebrows and eyes twitched.

"Your Highness, this child's origins are unknown. Does anyone know if he carries any illnesses?"

"Your Highness, the child is unclean and has soiled your clothes. This old servant should take her with me..."

The old woman tried many times to get rid of the little girl.

As a result, Jiang Miaomiao clung to Princess Liang and wouldn't let go, glaring at Granny Wu with a pitiful expression.

"Bad guy... get away... bad guy..."

As soon as the old woman came over, she opened her mouth and started wailing.

She cries as soon as she speaks.

Granny Yu couldn't stand it anymore and teased her secretly, "Granny Wu, you're so fierce, even the children are afraid of you..."

The old woman, her face dark and sullen, retreated to a great distance, cursing and swearing.

Fortunately, the fat prince did not appear until it was time to set off back to Jiangzhou City, at which point he boarded Princess Liang's carriage.

I didn't notice it just now.

At that moment, Jiang Miaomiao felt a strong aroma of fragrance wafting towards her...
