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."
"No wonder!"
Old Mistress An stomped her foot in anger, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
"The empress's younger sister that showed him, he's gone without a trace. "Alright, this stinking brat!"
After the maidservant opened the small bean bag, the two bright and beautiful women simultaneously entered the East District's entrance. Pushing open the vermilion door with a palm, they angrily walked inside.
At this moment, Lu Huan was shaking his head and listening to a song.
When he saw his mother and grandmother barging in, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly rose to his feet and bowed.
Before he could say a word, Madam An had already scolded him harshly, but before she could vent her anger, Princess Ning continued to reprimand him.
After a short while, Lu Huan's mind was completely confused.
"Well, you worthless thing! "Having raised a houseful of singers, a concubine and a concubine, and even having children, she is still living in a luxurious place outside!"
Ning Xiaoyao was holding Jun'er in her hand as she sobbed. "You've been hiding things from your mufei! It's so bitter!"
Lu Huan's face was filled with confusion. Seeing the wink from Lu Si's face and seeing the small bean bag that was supposed to be sent away being held by a servant girl, he immediately understood.
"Mufei, grandma, this is a misunderstanding. This child isn't mine!"
"Then why did she call you father?"
"How is she calling me? They said they were looking for their father, and I'm not her father. If you don't believe me, just listen."
Princess Ning and Old Mistress An really did get close enough to listen. Little Jun reached out with her chubby hands to grab the lapels of her clothes and sweetly called out, "Wa Nanny ~" (Granny Bai).
Old Lady An's heart skipped a beat as she held the silk to her chest and shouted happily, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Did you call for me?"
"I heard you, mother. I was calling you. Great granny, this child is so smart!"
Lu Huan spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if he had jumped into the Yellow River and washed away all the blood that came out of his mouth.
Where did this little ancestor come from? Go back to where you came from! He was just causing trouble for him!
"Don't say anything more, wait for your father to come back and break your legs!" I let you spend your days without thinking, and only know how gentle and rich you are! "
"That's not it. Even prisoners have to be given a reason, you guys …"
The two women, who were in tacit understanding with Lu Huan, left Lu Huan Zhi behind, along with the small bean bag.
Thus, the two extremely respectable women from the Wang Mansion immediately quieted Lu Huan Zhi down.
In the name of disrespect and unfilial piety, he was to be punished.
Unfortunately, before Lu Huan Zhi could even warm up after returning to his residence, he was guarded by guards from inside and outside.
Old woman An and Princess Ning didn't stop either. One of them was so enraged by his grandson that he threw a bowl at them and the other was so enraged that he started crying. He was scolding him for not knowing what was good for him and not marrying the empress's niece. He insisted on having a woman of unknown origins as an outside room, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel an urge to bury the sharp edge of his heart.
Heavens, this year, Lu Huan Zhi was already a weakling. He refused to marry a woman of good family, but he just didn't want to settle down.
Princess Ning was so anxious that she wanted to hug her grandson. Now that a little girl had popped out of the carriage all of a sudden, she couldn't help but weep tears of joy when she realized that she had already become a grandmother.
In his mouth, he only said "How nice is a girl". A girl was more carefree than a boy, and he even brought up all of his mansion's precious treasures just for the sake of playing with the small bean bag.
There were only a few days until the store would open. Su Zhi was busy preparing everything she needed, so she was very busy.
"Flowerwood" had already invested a lot of money in the early stages of the game. If they couldn't make it back in time, the family of three would have to live happily ever after.
Thinking about the two little kids at home, even if she was tired, she didn't dare to relax for even a moment.
As the owner of Flowerwood, Li Yi did not think highly of this new model of operation, but he did not need to go against the silver. He also saw how energetic Su Zhi was, so he could not say anything disheartening.
"Xiaosu, the store is going to open in a few days. If you have anything else you want me to do, feel free to tell me."
Su Zhizhan was instructing the artisan on how to work when she turned around and gave him a bright smile, "I do. Big Brother Li's calligraphy is really beautiful. Why don't you help me write some flyers? If you are writing, let me explain the contents. "
The opening of a new store naturally needed to be advertised. Whoever was selling things would not shout out —
She would not believe that there would be no source of customers, given the great rewards and the discounts on all goods.
