"My princess, why are you still playing here? Everyone is going crazy looking for you!"
An anxious female voice came, and Duanmuyan suddenly shut up, his expression returning to his usual arrogance. But Lin Chu could no longer ignore the sadness in her eyes.
"This is Mother Wu." She took her chin and nodded at the old woman walking towards the door of the Moon Cave: "The old man who serves my grandmother."
Lin Chu knew this person.
When she first decided to return to the Lin family, she asked her future daughter-in-law, Princess Rongmin, to be investigated.
Mother Wu is Mrs. Hua's steward mother and has always been with Mrs. Hua from youth to old age. To a certain extent, she can represent Mrs. Hua.
"I'm lucky, I met the princess after all. Let's leave quickly."
Mother Wu had a gentle smile on her face and her body was slightly bowed with a very humble attitude. When she turned to Lin Chu, her eyes were slightly frozen: "This is..."
Lin Chu nodded: "Lin Chu."
Mother Wu was stunned: "Lin...Lin..."
"Brother Chu returned to Beijing today, and I specially picked her up to play with her." Duanmuyan stood in front of Lin Chu and said with a frown.
"I'm afraid it's impossible." Mother Wu twitched her lips: "Today is not a good day for outsiders to be present!"
"Whether Brother Chu is an outsider or not, I have the final say!"
"Princess!" Mother Wu smiled and said in a deep voice: "This is a serious matter, so don't mess around! The prince-in-law will be angry!"
Duanmuyan pursed his lips, and his eye circles were almost invisible red.
"Ha." Lin Chu said casually: "I didn't know that the princess needs a responsible mother to teach her a lesson."
Mother Wu frowned, her eyes piercing Lin Chu like a sharp sword. Lin Chu was not afraid and raised her eyebrows to meet her.
"First a maid, then a mother. How come Princess Rong Min can be humiliated so casually in the Prince Consort's Mansion? I wonder what the Emperor will think if he finds out about this."
"Master Lin Liu is really good at joking." Mother Wu pulled her lips and smiled: "I just came to welcome the princess to the main courtyard, how dare I teach the princess a lesson."
"Calculating the time, the imperial edict has already arrived. Let's go faster. If we miss the right time, it will be a big deal."
Lin Chu's heart froze and he suddenly looked at Duanmuyan.
Imperial decree?!
She thought that Duanmuyan's abnormal behavior was due to being angry at home, so how come it... was involved in the imperial edict. If there really was an imperial edict, it seemed that... it was indeed inappropriate for her to show up.
"Brother Chu." Duanmuyan looked at her. Although there was a smile on his lips and teeth, it never reached his eyes. If you look closely, there was a bit of farewell sadness: "If...you have something to do, you can leave first. I just want to take a look.
You, now that you have seen it, you are... contented."
Lin Chu frowned and suddenly couldn't say goodbye. She seemed to see herself in Duan Muyan. When she was young, she would be like today. She would play all kinds of tricks to make her adoptive father stay. When she was alone, she would... be afraid.
.
"I'll go with you." It was difficult to save the words, so Lin Chu had no choice but to go forward with Duanmuyan.
Duanmuyan stared at his toes with half-closed eyes.
Today she wore a pair of silk embroidered shoes inlaid with vermillion satin and pearls. The pearl tassels on the shoes undulated as she walked, just like the Prince Consort's Mansion under her feet. Due to the existence of the eldest princess who protects the country, the honor and favor were unprecedented.
However, when everything appears in the pan and flourishes, it also begins to decline.
Mother Wu led the two of them to the main hall of the front yard and raised the curtain for them herself: "Princess, please."
"Yan'er is back?" The man's angry voice rushed towards him from the house: "You are so outrageous today!"
