After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Watching Wu Weiwei's departing figure, He Yaya touched her palms and found them covered in cold sweat.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, given the prince's favor towards her, Wu Weiwei had the ability to make their family suffer.

Right now, her priority is to get her family to help find Wu Heran, otherwise...

Wu Weiwei had just left Qingsong Courtyard, but now she had to turn back because of her younger brother's matter.

Seeing Wu Weiwei return, Cuiyun asked in confusion, "Miss Wu, did you leave something behind?"

"No, I need to speak with the young master. Cuiyun, when does the young master retire from court?"

"Well, it's hard to say. If something comes up, it will be afternoon; if nothing comes up, it will be at least noon."

"Noon?"

That means the prince will return in another hour.

"Miss Wu, is there something urgent that you need?"

Seeing Wu Weiwei's anxious look, Cuiyun added, "If you have something urgent, you can ask Rufeng to help you find the young master."

By the way, since the young master isn't here, it's fine to ask Rufeng to help her find him.

Ru Feng was training the guards in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion when he heard that Wu Weiwei was looking for him. After exchanging a few words with the guards, he rushed over.

Although Wu Weiwei is currently only the prince's concubine, given the prince's recent favor towards her, Ru Feng dares not neglect her.

Upon arriving at Qingsong Courtyard, they saw Wu Weiwei pacing anxiously back and forth.

Upon seeing him, Wu Weiwei hurriedly went forward.

"Ru Feng, could you help me find someone?"

"Please speak, Wu Tongfang."

“It’s my younger brother. He’s only five years old. He’s small and thin, and looks about three years old. He got lost in the outskirts of Beijing…”

As Ru Feng listened, his brows furrowed immediately. Based on the description alone, he could not know for sure what the child Wu Tongfang was looking for looked like.

"Miss Wu, do you have a portrait of your younger brother?"

Oh, right, she forgot that it would be difficult to search such a small child based on description alone.

"wait."

Wu Weiwei looked at Cuiyun: "Cuiyun, could you please get me a pen, ink, and paper?"

Although Cuiyun was puzzled, she ran into the house to get it for her.

A moment later, Cuiyun came out with what she needed.

Under the watchful eyes of the servants in the courtyard, Wu Weiwei used a brush dipped in ink to quickly outline the contours of a face on the rice paper.

Then I saw her fill in the outline continuously, drawing eyebrows, nose bridge, then eyes and mouth.

Fifteen minutes later, a lifelike figure of a handsome little boy appeared on the paper.

Everyone watched as she drew her brother in one go, feeling astonished and suspicious, especially Ru Feng.

He hadn't expected Wu Weiwei to have this skill. He had heard that she was just a lowly maid in the outer courtyard responsible for sweeping, but he never imagined that her painting skills were so exquisite.

Following the Crown Prince, Ru Feng naturally became accustomed to seeing various masterpieces.

Miss Wu's painting skills could not have been developed in less than ten years.

Moreover, her skillful use of the pen demonstrates her solid foundation.

Seeing Ru Feng staring blankly at the portrait of Miss Wu's younger brother, Cui Yun reminded him, "Ru Feng, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help Miss Wu find him."

Although Cuiyun was also shocked by Wu Weiwei, she was not frightened like Rufeng.

After all, she was just a maid and knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, but she could still see Wu Weiwei's excellence.

Judging from the fact that she has won the prince's favor so soon after arriving, she must be no ordinary person.

Ru Feng regained his senses, gathered a hundred guards from the manor, and marched out in a grand procession.

Watching Ru Feng lead his men away, Wu Weiwei's frown eased somewhat.

“Miss Wu, you don’t need to worry. Ru Feng is reliable and is always praised by the young master. I believe he can definitely help you find your brother.”

Wu Weiwei turned around and said to her, "Thank you so much today, Cuiyun. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of asking Rufeng for help."

Every minute that she waited increased the danger to her younger brother, and Cuiyun had indeed done her a great favor.

"Miss Wu, you're too kind. It's just my duty."

Given the prince's favor towards her, it's always good for her to help him out.

three days ago.

After leaving the He family's house, Wu Heran ran towards the wide avenue.

He heard that if he followed this official road, he would reach the bustling main street of the capital, where the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion was located.

All he knew was that if his sister found out he was going to see her, she would definitely not abandon him.

Wu Heran didn't know how long he had been running. All he knew was that it was dark, and he was tired, hungry, and scared. So he ran into a dilapidated temple and fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up, he found himself locked in a simple woodshed.

"Little one, you're awake? Here, have some water."

Wu Heran stared wide-eyed at the auntie who was holding a bowl and kindly urging him to drink water.

"Who are you? Why am I here? Is this the capital?"

"Little one, are you going to the capital?"

Wu Heran looked warily at the woman in the gorgeous clothes in front of him.

His sister had told him that he could not trust anyone but her, let alone the woman in front of him who didn't look like a good person at all.

“I am the young master of the Marquis of Dingguo’s mansion. Auntie, please take me back to the Marquis of Dingguo’s mansion. If my father knows that you saved me, he will definitely reward you handsomely.”

Wu Heran had secretly overheard Li Shi say that her sister was now a concubine in the Dingguo Marquis's household.

If he told the woman that he was merely the younger brother of a concubine in the prince's household, she might not be willing to send him to the marquis's residence.

But if he were the Marquis's son, the aunt would probably return him to the Marquis's mansion out of concern, or perhaps to obtain a high reward.

"Are you really the son of the Marquis of Dingguo?"

The woman looked him up and down.

Although he claimed to be the son of the Marquis of Dingguo, judging from the ordinary clothes he was wearing, he didn't look like a rich family's son at all. Could he be trying to scam her?

Although Wu Heran was hesitant, he still nodded firmly.

His sister once told him that if he told one lie, there would be countless more to cover it up, and if he told too many lies, they would eventually be exposed.

Children shouldn't lie, and children who lie are not good children.

But he looked at the woman in front of him and thought she was just like that He woman; she didn't seem like a good person.

Lies can be covered up as many times as possible, until they can no longer be covered up.

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, the woman began to believe him.

"Wait here for a bit, I'll be right back."

At the same time, Ru Feng led his men to search the entire capital, but they could not find Wu Tongfang's younger brother in the portrait.

That shouldn't be the case; if someone got lost, it's impossible that no one would have seen them.

Just as he was wondering, his subordinate rushed over, "Boss, we found a group of suspicious people in the courtyard of the alley ahead..."
