Yunchu took Tingyu into the flower hall.
She looked at the snacks on the table and said, "I remember that the mung bean cake you made was softer than usual. If you have time, make some and send them to me."
Ting Yumei smiled happily: "It's madam, I will do it now."
As long as the madam is willing to use her, she will be able to return to the madam sooner or later and be as honorable as before. No one in the house dares to show her dignity again.
Yun Chu nodded, and just as Ting Yu was about to retreat, he saw a woman running in in a hurry: "Madam, King Ping Xi has brought many people here, saying that they want to search Xie's mansion."
Yun Chu's fingers holding the teacup suddenly froze.
It was really beyond her expectation that the people from Pingxi Palace arrived so quickly. Fortunately, Qiu Tong and Ting Shuang had already left with their two children.
Ting Yucuo said in astonishment: "Although King Pingxi has a high and powerful position, he is not qualified to search a private residence. Is there a thief who has escaped, so King Pingxi..."
"It's the young prince and princess of Prince Pingxi's mansion who are missing." The mother-in-law said hurriedly, "Your Excellency has already gone to the gate of the mansion to greet Prince Pingxi. I specially asked this old slave to report to the madam and ask the aunts and sisters in the mansion to stay away."
Yunchu nodded and immediately asked someone to notify the female family members.
As soon as she gave the order, she heard many voices. It turned out that people from Pingxi Palace had already searched the backyard.
In the entire capital, only King Pingxi dared to do this.
The eldest prince is a prince and needs the support of the people. He will never randomly search a private residence and attract impeachment from hundreds of officials.
The other princes were unable to get close to him, so how could they dare to do such a thing.
Seeing Xie Jingyu getting closer and closer with King Pingxi, Yunchu, as the head of the family, naturally couldn't avoid and hide like his aunt.
She stood up and went to greet him: "I have met the prince."
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Yun Chu.
Somehow, he thought of the scene of her holding Chang Sheng that night.
Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as porcelain. That night, I felt in a trance that her beautiful eyes were very similar to Chang Sheng.
With the help of sunlight, he could see more clearly. Not only did the eyes look similar, but the shape of the lips seemed to be carved out of the same mold.
He paused before speaking: "Mrs. Xie, I'm offended."
At this time, the four guards who were searching Shengju came out and shook their heads at Ping Xiwang.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Two hours ago, when he was about to go to Jizhou, the prince suddenly fell ill, and his father issued an imperial edict to recall him. After he returned home, he was planning to take his eldest son Ziyu to visit the doctor in the East Palace, when he realized that, Brother Yu disappeared, and Chang Sheng also disappeared with him.
He immediately summoned men to search the entire city.
The first mansion I went to was the eldest princess's house, because Brother Yu was close to the eldest princess.
The second place he came to was the Xie Mansion. Maybe Chang Sheng was reluctant to leave Mrs. Xie that night. He had a vague feeling that the two children might have come here.
But it was not found.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, madam, for bothering me."
Chu Yi turned around and wanted to leave.
Just then, a child's voice rang out: "There's a shoe over there!"
Yunchu turned around and saw Xie Shiyun, who had been led by Tingyu, suddenly rushing over, pointing at the flowers and trees and shouting.
She looked along Xie Shiyun's fingers and her breath suddenly stopped. They were Brother Yu's brocade boots.
Chu Yi also stopped and looked at the shoe. He was busy with official duties on weekdays, so it was naturally not his responsibility to put on shoes for his children. He just felt that the shoes looked familiar.
"These are not my shoes." Xie Shiyun's childish voice sounded, "Whose shoes fell here?"
Tingyu noticed at a glance that Yunchu's expression had changed, and she quickly grabbed her son.
Xie Shiyun pursed his lips.
He had already said that there were other children in his mother's yard, so her mother didn't like him, but my aunt didn't believe him.
Now, he finally found the evidence, and King Pingxi happened to be there, so he borrowed King Pingxi's people to find the children in his mother's yard.
Tingyu covered her son's mouth and glanced at the shoe with her peripheral vision.
Those shoes were indeed not Brother Yun's shoes, but at a glance it was clear that they were the shoe size of a three or four year old boy. There was only one Brother Yun for such an old boy in the house.
That proves that there are indeed other children in Madam's yard.
Does Madam really want to adopt other children?
Ting Yu's mood was extremely complicated.
Yun Chu's expression only changed slightly, then returned to normal. She quickly walked over and picked up the small shoes among the flowers: "Yesterday, I asked the girl in the yard to look for shoes everywhere. It turns out that it was me who dropped them here. My mother-in-law’s nephew is about to have a birthday, so I specially asked him to make the most popular style in Beijing.”
Chu Yi nodded: "If you are too troublesome, I will take my leave."
He quickly left with his escort.
Just when Yunchu saw Qiutong and Tingshuang walking in from outside, they nodded to her, and her high heart finally fell back into her stomach.
Chu Yi walked to the door and was about to go to the next place to search when he saw a servant coming to report: "Your Majesty, the young prince and the young princess have been found. They sneaked out of the house and wandered on the street, accompanied by Mao guards."
After saying this, the two young masters were carried by the two nuns and walked up to Chu Yi.
The two little guys knew they had done something wrong, so they hugged their grandma's neck tightly, buried their heads, and said nothing.
Chu Yi looked at Chu Hongyu and couldn't help but look down, landing on his feet. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "Where are your shoes?"
Chu Hongyu rubbed his two little feet: "No, I don't know where it fell."
"Oh?" A sneer appeared on Chu Yi's lips, "Tell me, why did your shoes end up in Xie's house?"
Chu Hongyu's little face suddenly turned pale, and she instinctively denied it: "No, I didn't go to Xie's house..."
Chu Yi's voice became even colder: "When did I tell you that you went to Xie's house? It's so self-inflicted that you..."
Before he finished speaking, the little girl lying in her mother's arms suddenly came back to her senses, opened her big watery eyes, and stretched out her two short arms towards him.
At this moment, Chu Yi's heart suddenly softened.
Chang Sheng was in a coma for most of her life before she was two years old. After she was two years old, she finally got better. However, she had to undergo acupuncture all the year round. She cried loudly every time she received acupuncture. She became more and more resistant to his father, who forced her to receive treatment.
When he was three years old, Chang Sheng finally recovered from his illness, but his eyes lost their light.
She would not take the initiative to look at him as her father, would not let him as his father hug her, and was unwilling to stay with him for even a moment longer...
For the first time ever, she reached out and let him hug her.
Chu Yi let Chu Hongyu go and took her daughter into her arms.
Chu Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He was a little surprised.
In the past, even if he was scolded terribly by his father, his sister would not react at all even if she heard it.
But now, his sister actually takes the initiative to come to his rescue.
After staying with my mother for a while, my sister seemed to be a little different.
