Facing his approach, Qin Yaoguang's heart was pounding, but he just smiled and asked, "Your Highness, did you rest well last night?"

last night?

Qin Yaoguang glanced at him: "Very good."

"Well--"

He dragged out the last word meaningfully and said, "I'm not okay."

Although he didn't say anything, Qin Yaoguang felt that he had said everything.

It's so early in the morning. Do you have to be so ambiguous?

She took a step back, increasing the distance between them, and clutching the handkerchief in her hand, she asked sternly, "Prince, when will the grandparents and grandchildren arrive?"

Yan Changqing then said, "I almost forgot about the important business when I saw Madam. We should be here in a quarter of an hour at most."

What did you almost forget? He did it on purpose.

This man learned how to seduce people without any instruction?

Qin Yaoguang ignored him, sat back in his seat, and asked Guyu to serve tea for him.

Hanlu walked out of the house and came to Qin Yaoguang and said, "Your Highness, the handkerchief may have been lost. I can't find it."

The items Qin Yaoguang used were all limited in number, even if it was just a silk handkerchief.

This morning, when Hanlu was cleaning the house, she was counting the clothes she had taken off yesterday and other things one by one, and was going to send them to the laundry room.

The primrose-colored silk handkerchief that Qin Yaoguang carried with her yesterday was nowhere to be found.

"It's fine if it's lost."

Qin Yaoguang didn't care at all and took a sip of the jasmine tea.

Although it was a personal item of hers, fortunately, in order to avoid trouble, no marks were made on this small item.

She didn't notice that Yan Changqing pressed his hand on her chest and then let go.

The silk handkerchief that she had lost was neatly placed in his arms.

Taking it without asking is considered stealing.

Stealing fragrance and jade.

Yan Changqing thought of these words, and curled his fingers at his sides.

After finishing a cup of tea, Chunfen came to report: "Master, the Prince Consort's people have come with a pair of grandparents and grandchildren."

"Please let them in." Qin Yaoguang ordered.

The old lady looked haggard, even thinner than what Aunt Deng had described. One could tell at first glance that she was someone who had been worn out by life over the years.

Her eyes were filled with panic, and she was tightly holding a little boy in coarse clothes in her hands.

As soon as she entered the door, she pulled her grandson to her knees and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life!"

She didn't know what was going on. The series of experiences in the past few days had already made her like a frightened bird.

She just wanted to save her grandson's life.

The child fell to his knees beside her, trembling with fear.

"Mammy, please stand up."

Qin Yaoguang winked at Guyu, and Hanlu brought an embroidered cushion for them, and Guyu helped the two of them sit down.

"Eat something first and calm your nerves."

Qin Yaoguang said gently: "I don't want your lives."

She just wanted to know why He went to so much trouble to send these two people to her.

Why did he knock out Nanny Deng and kidnap the two people?

The old lady was trembling with fear and just held her grandson's hand, not daring to move.

To this day, she doesn’t know who she can trust.

That day, someone brought her into a fine mansion, and it was also this noble lady who asked her the same gentle questions.

She was just an old woman who had come from the countryside to seek shelter with her relatives but to no avail, and she didn't understand what there was to gain from her.

She had long regretted her trip to Beijing.

If I had known this earlier, I would have just lived on my own three-acre land.

It wouldn't be as bad as it is now, where I almost lost my life.

Yan Changqing carried a plate of cakes, walked over to the child, squatted down, took a piece of translucent flower cake from the plate and handed it to him: "You must be hungry, have a piece."

This piece of peach blossom cake is made with a mold in the shape of a five-petal peach blossom. The outer layer is made of fine glutinous rice and sprinkled with a thin layer of icing sugar.

The red bean paste filling inside is still shaped like peach blossoms, faintly visible from the inside, like jelly, with a beautiful color.

The little boy looked at it and couldn't help but take it.

But he did not put it in his mouth immediately, but just looked at the old lady with longing.

Yan Changqing seemed not to see his actions. He placed the whole plate of pastries in his arms, took another piece of glutinous rice cake from the plate, and put it in his mouth.

His movements were very casual. He patted the residue on his hands and said to Qin Yaoguang with a smile, "It tastes good."

It was as if he was just greedy.

Instead of trying to allay the other party's concerns.

Qin Yaoguang couldn't help but laugh, and said to Hanlu, "Since the prince likes it, go to the kitchen and pack another box for him to take back."

Hanlu agreed and left.

They talked freely here, and the grandfather and grandson completely let down their guard.

The little boy stuffed the touhuaci into his mouth, but before he had time to chew it carefully, he picked up another piece of yunpiangao.

Seeing this, Qin Yaoguang said, "Don't worry, eat slowly, it's all yours."

Guyu poured a cup of tea and placed it in his hand.

The old lady didn't eat much of the cakes, so Qin Yaoguang asked Guyu to bring a bowl of nourishing pigeon soup.

After they finished eating, Qin Yaoguang said, "Don't be afraid, Ma'am. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you have nowhere to go in the future, just stay here and keep Ma'am Deng company."

When she mentioned Nanny Deng, the old nanny was startled and realized that she was Nanny Deng's master - Princess Leyang.

She actually ate and drank so much in front of the eldest princess!

As soon as my knees weakened, I was about to kneel down again.

"No need to be so polite, Mammy."

Qin Yaoguang asked Guyu to help her up and comforted her, "Now that you know me, are you still worried?"

The old lady was very excited and tears were streaming down her face.

"I am the one who doesn't know what is good for me. The princess is the most kindhearted person. I..."

She spoke incoherently, her words didn't make sense, and the more anxious she became, the more confused she became.

When she went to Beijing to look for her relatives, she heard a lot about the good things done by the eldest princess in the market. When people mentioned the eldest princess, they all gave her a thumbs up.

She never expected that today she would actually see the eldest princess in person and be disrespectful to her.

"Mammy, don't be anxious."

Qin Yaoguang started to ask questions only after she calmed down.

The old lady naturally told him everything she knew.

Her surname is Hu and her husband's surname is Huang. After they got married, they lived in a village near the outskirts of Beijing.

When she was young, in order to support her family, she learned the skill of midwifery and became a midwife.

Gradually she became famous, and people from all over the place would come to her for help when they needed her to deliver a baby.

Later, an unusual woman came from the next village. Her food, clothing and other expenses were different from theirs. She said she was a distant relative of the head of the village. Her husband, a traveling merchant, died on the road, so she had to return to the village to give birth.

She bought a house and renovated it, and had several servants and maids to serve her.

When she invited Madam Hu, she was greatly enlightened.

This was the first time she had seen such a grand ceremony in her village.

Qin Yaoguang listened attentively to this and asked, "What happened next?"

"later……"

There was a look of horror in Madam Hu's eyes.

Even though so many years have passed, the situation is still vivid in her mind and makes her feel terrified.
