C55 (1/2)

Jin's heart was pounding as she opened the door, but there was no sound from the house or the yard.

He panicked and felt his legs go weak. ”No, Granny Bai, no!”

They quickly went out to look for someone nearby, but there was no sign of the child.

Aunt Bai slapped her thigh. ”Oh no, the child is gone! Jin, you and uncle are looking for your mother in the market right now! ”

Hearing that the child was gone, Aunt Bai's husband came back from the fields with A-Jin, who was crying loudly, and borrowed an ox cart from Sister-in-law Gu's house next door, heading straight for the market.

Aunt Bai was extremely anxious. She quickly knocked on the door one by one, saying that the girl from the Su family had been lost and had asked the big guy to come out and help find her.

The neighbors who were at home also stopped what they were doing and carefully went to find their children one by one.

After Lu Huan's return to the Lu Manor, he asked one of his attendants to change the clothes on the small bean bag. He was prepared to give some delicious food to the small bean bag and send it away.

When the maidservant saw that he had returned, she hurriedly went to pay her respects. She said that Madam An had returned and had asked him to meet her in the front hall.

”Didn't Grandmother go to Wutai Mountain to pray for the Goddess Bodhisattva? Why are you back so early?”

The maid lowered her head and looked at him, not daring to say more, ”It seems like she came back for an urgent matter.”

When he heard the young maid mention it, he immediately stopped and laughed evilly, ”You must have come here to make a mess, right? Which noble girl did you send to this crown prince?” Was it the Grand Preceptor's grandson, or the princess' daughter? Or the daughter of a newly rich and powerful family? ”

No, no.

He was too used to being a prodigal, so how could he expect him to guard a green leaf and give up a forest?

Lu Huan Zhi refused to meet his grandmother. He said that he had just come back from the outside world and needed to bathe and burn some incense.

Old Mistress An and Princess Ning knew that this was his excuse not to come out and meet with them.

The two equally elegant and luxurious women looked at each other and walked towards the East District in tacit understanding.

At this time, Lu Hengzhi was listening to Ji Ying's melody. His mood had improved a lot, and he didn't even notice the upcoming torrential downpour.

Madam An didn't let the servants report. She followed Princess Ning into the courtyard. Just as she was about to make some preparations, a little girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The child seemed to have just been washed and dressed in clothes that belonged to someone else. It did not fit him at all. However, she was extremely well-behaved, especially her pair of big, black eyes. It was a very pleasant sight to behold.

”Little girl, don't run around. I'll break your legs!”

The small bean bag wheezes as it rubbed itself against Old Madam An's legs. It held her in its arms, refusing to let go.

Old Madam An was stunned. ”Whose baby is this?”

Lu Si followed behind her into the courtyard. Ning Xiaoyao shouted harshly, ”Whose legs are you going to break?”

His entire body trembled in shock as he immediately knelt down to pay his respects. ”Greetings to the old mistress and esteemed wangfei!”

Old Mistress An arched her back as she carefully examined the bean bag. ”Where did this child come from?”

Lu Si replied, ”I just went out with His Highness and met a little beggar on the way.”

”Nonsense!” Is the beggar this clever and nice? ”

”Old madam, seriously …”

Ning Xiaoyao couldn't believe it either. How could she not know what kind of virtue her son was? He was born with a dislike for children. Although there were many ladies in the courtyard, none of them were the ones who left behind children.

Would she bring a beggar back to the house if she met him on the roadside? How could that be possible, unless...

”I remember now. That stinking brat said that he would marry a singer back to become his secondary wife and I rejected him. Now, he shouldn't be … He did not break off relations with that actress and he even secretly gave birth to a child? ”

Lu Si's eyes were wide open, unable to understand Princess Ning's thoughts.

What was this all about? Every day, the Crown Prince would say that he wanted to marry a woman to be his side wife. Even if there were ten of them, there were at least seventy or eighty.

”Is that true? How come I didn't know! ”

Old Lady An was stunned. She stared at the little girl who was hugging her, feeling rather surprised.

”Aiyo, mother, you don't know what kind of bastard he is, being able to make people die from anger. If it wasn't for me gasping for breath, I don't know how this mansion would have been ruined by him.”
