After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 69

Zhao Shi raised his eyes, and his cold gaze floated on the little girl’s body.

The little girl was raised by her family and a little fat, her cheeks are fleshy, soft and white, and she looks very pinched, her hair is tied into two round tweeted, and she has a lovely and soft face, but her expression is majestic. stern.

With an unhappy face, Xiao Man raised her neck and stared at the man in front of her. Her dark pupils were clean and free of any impurities. She ordered him fiercely, “Hurry up and take me home!”

She hadn’t eaten any candy, and she was even carried to a strange place.

Angry angry super angry.

Zhao Shi was amused by her childish tone. He took two steps forward. The wide-sleeved veil was raised with the movement. The flickering skirt and the dull look on his face added a bit of solemnity. Cold sense of distance. He knelt down and looked at her and asked, “Where is your father?”

Xiaoman opened his eyes, “What is a father? Is it delicious?”

The rich scent of milk on the little girl entered the tip of the man’s nose, and he frowned slightly. Even a two or three-year-old child could not even know his parents.

Zhao Shi himself didn’t realize that his patience was surprisingly good at this moment. His voice was faint, and he couldn’t tell whether he was gentle or serious. He asked, “What about your mother?”

“Mother is waiting for me at home! You have to send me back soon.”

This tone of command made people laugh and laugh.

Zhao Shi felt that the mother who could lose all the children was not very reliable. He squatted down, looked into the eyes of the little girl, and said to her in a flat and straightforward tone: “Your mother lost you.”

Xiaoman got up hard by herself, she said, “So you have to send me back.”

Zhao Shi smiled, “We don’t need to send it. If your mother didn’t deliberately drop you, she will find it by herself.”

But looking at the clothes on the little girl is not like a poor house, she can’t even support a child. Wearing gold and silver, white and tender, it is probably because her mother was too careless to even know that the child was lost.

Xiao Man puffed up her mouth. She didn’t think of herself as an outsider at all, so she asked bravely, “Xiao Man is hungry! Want to eat sweets!”

Zhao Shi laughed at her for having tooth decay and was made porridge for her.

The people in the kitchen boiled the shrimp porridge, and when it was served, the fragrance would overflow. Xiaoman was carried to the table, and the maid rounded her bib.

The little girl looked at the porridge on the table, her mouth was very picky, she turned her face and said, “I don’t want to drink it.”

If she changes to someone else, Zhao Shi will make her hungry.

“Then what do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat candy.”

“No.”

“Then I don’t want to eat shrimp.” Before the problem of Xiaoman’s picky eater, Mingzhu had a headache. Anyway, she couldn’t change her daughter’s bad habits, so she had no choice but to accommodate.

Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows, and he didn’t eat shrimps either. He waved his hand and asked people to remove the shrimp porridge, “There is nothing you don’t eat except this.”

Xiao Man broke his fingers and counted seriously, “Don’t eat mandarin fish, don’t eat green vegetables, don’t eat bracken, don’t eat lettuce, don’t eat rotten eggs, don’t…”

“Okay.” Zhao Shi interrupted her, sighed helplessly, and ordered the servants to go out and buy some sweets.

The little girl was content to eat the candy, so she sat there and didn’t move.

Hongling was almost dying of urgency. After searching all over the street, he couldn’t find the child. He only needed three words in his head.

The kind elder sister reminded her, “You go report the crime! If anyone finds the child, I will send it back to you.”

Hongling Liushen Wuzhu wandered in front of the government office and reported the case to the government. The people at the government told her to go home and wait, and they would tell her when they got news.

Hong Ling has lived for so many years without fear, and now she doesn’t have the courage to go home to see Mingzhu. She doesn’t know how to talk to her at all.

Mingzhu loves her daughter so much, she treats her as her own eyeballs, and she will definitely not be able to bear the loss of the child.

Hongling dragged it out until late in the evening, and she had no choice but to return home. His eyes looked redder than a rabbit, and he clenched his hands nervously, with a cramped expression.

Mingzhu made a pair of knee pads for Wei Chiyu in the afternoon. The spring is cold and the weather is wet and cold. If you don’t pay attention, your knees will get hurt if you freeze for a long time.

After knee pads last night, she went to the kitchen and made their favorite soup specially.

Mingzhu brought the black chicken yam soup to the table, looked at her with a smile and asked, “Where is Xiaoman? Are you asleep?”

Hong Ling gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and said to her guiltily, “Zhuzhu, Xiaoman was lost by me.”

She didn’t dare to look up at the expression on Mingzhu’s face. She sniffed, holding back her tears, and continued: “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t fight with others. I turned around and found out that the person was gone after I finished the quarrel.”

Mingzhu’s eyes were dark, and her whole body was unsteady, dizzy and unable to recover.

Hongling was worried that she could not bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, “You…don’t worry, I have already reported to the official, Xiaoman will definitely be able to get it back. Yangzhou City is safe, and no toothwoman dares to buy and sell little girls in the city. .”

Mingzhu couldn’t hear anything, her limbs recovered her strength and gently pushed her away, “I’m going out to find her.”

Hongling pitifully followed her behind, “I will go too.”

The two searched the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, but they did not find any children.

The shoes that Mingzhu wore when she went out today didn’t fit well, and blood blisters were worn out on her back heel. After searching for a few hours, her legs had no strength.

Her eyes were red, and hot tears flowed down her eye sockets. The slender body was shaky in the wind, Hongling supported her arm, “Let’s go to the Yamen and ask again.”

In addition to this, there is no other way.

Mingzhu raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said dumbly, “Yeah.”

It just so happened that the people from the government office were looking for them too. Cattle and Hongling could be called old acquaintances. This restless aunt made trouble for them to find things in two or three days.

Today I set up other people’s stall, and tomorrow I will fight with people. Huihui makes people turn their backs on the horse, but when the door is wicked, it turns out that she is responsible for it.

Unfortunately, it was dark and Mingzhu’s clothes and hair were messed up. Two years later, the head catcher didn’t recognize Mingzhu as the woman he was looking for with the portrait two years ago.

“You are here just right, the child has news.”

Mingzhu almost fainted with excitement, her hollow eyes gradually returned to bright colors, she squeezed her fingers tightly, her throat could not make a sound.

Hong Ling asked on her behalf: “Where is it?”

The head catcher said: “Just now someone came to the government office and said that they had picked up a two or three-year-old girl and asked her where she lived. She didn’t know, so they took the person home first.”

After listening to these words, Mingzhu could finally relax a little. She tried her best to support her body, “I will pick up the child now.”

The head catcher stopped her, “It’s already late now, you should run again tomorrow, they said, tomorrow the child will be sent to the yamen.”

Mingzhu couldn’t wait for a moment, she shook her head, “Please tell me where does that person live.”

Head Catcher couldn’t help but glanced at her more. He felt that her face looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where she had seen it. He frowned and pointed the way to the two of them.

In a yard in the back alley of Qingshi.

The courtyard is secluded, the gate is closed, and there is no one around.

Mingzhu gently clicked the ring on the door. After a while, a young servant walked out and opened the door with a lantern in his hand. With the faint light of the fire, he looked at the two of them and asked: ” Who are the two girls?”

Mingzhu wiped the dim dampness in her eyes, twitched the corners of her mouth, and tried to make herself look more energetic. She opened her mouth and whispered, “I’m here to take my daughter home.”

The little boy suddenly realized, “So you lost that little girl?”

Mingzhu nodded, her voice eagerly, “Can you let me in?”

The servant led her to the side hall, and the maid poured them two cups of hot tea, “The two girls will wait for now, let us go back to the son first.”

Mingzhu nodded absent-mindedly, looking around. The furnishings of this house are quite elegant and expensive, and the owner’s family should be either rich or expensive.

After Xiaoman ate the candy, he clamored to go home.

Zhao Shi thought she was being noisy, but did not drive the little girl out of the study, but quietly watched her sloppy.

The little girl has a quiet and lovely face, and her temper is bigger than most. It’s not easy to bully at all.

Zhao Shi allowed her to climb to her main table, and the tender little fat hand pressed into the inkstone, her pink palms were covered with black ink, she raised her hand to threaten him, “Don’t listen to me. , I’m going to make trouble!”

Zhao Shi felt amused, his eyes curled, “You have trouble.”

Xiao Manke was **** off by him, so she logically became a silly bad boy, rubbing his dirty hands everywhere, messing up his desk and letters.

Unfortunately, she did not succeed.

Xiao Man jumped up and down, tired, fell on his lap, clutching his sleeve, and slowly fell asleep.

Zhao Shi couldn’t bear the habit of cleanliness, so she let someone in with a basin of warm water and wiped her ink-stained face with a towel. I don’t know why, he just thinks this little girl’s face looks very pleasing to the eye.

If her parents don’t want her, it’s not impossible to take her back to the capital and leave her to be raised.

There was a knock on the door outside, “My son, the child’s mother is here.”

Zhao Shi’s abacus failed, but he didn’t feel much. He handed the sleeping little girl to his entourage, “Hold her over.”

“Yes.”

Zhao Shi found that the silver bracelet on her wrist had fallen to the ground after sending the person out. He picked it up and asked as he walked out, “Is the person gone?”

The silver bracelet is meant to drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, and she will be anxious if she loses her mother.

“My son, the man is still in the front yard.”

“You send this silver bracelet back to them.” As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shi changed his words, “Nothing, I will go by myself.”

Zhao Shi hurriedly walked to the side hall of the front yard. Mingzhu was holding her daughter and was about to leave. After a busy night, Ufa was a little messy, her face was small and white, and her brows and eyes were intertwined with haggard. It coincided with the spring day, she was wearing thin clothes, and the evening breeze blew over with a thin shirt and wide sleeves.

Zhao Shi stared at the woman’s profile, motionless.
