Chapter 299 This cotton-padded coat leaks air
Jiang Miaomiao quietly returned home.
She swaggered up to her second brother and asked, "Second brother, where are Mother and Aunt? Haven't they come back yet?"
Jiang Ziyan was taken aback at first, then hugged his sister tightly.
"Jiang Miaomiao, where did you go? I was so worried about you."
Those two little ones are such a handful; they disappear in the blink of an eye.
It scared him to death.
After saying that, he glared fiercely at Yan Cheng'an.
Yan Cheng'an: ...Why are you glaring at me?
Could it be that Brother Jiang thinks he instigated Miaomiao?
Clearly... he was the one who was fooled.
He died unjustly.
He quickly explained, "Second brother, it wasn't me..."
Jiang Ziyan held his sister without saying a word, then glared at Yan Cheng'an, silencing him from saying what he was about to say.
Yan Cheng'an opened his mouth.
Sigh! Never mind.
He'll take the blame, that's what happens when a man takes the blame.
Jiang Miaomiao felt a little guilty and looked like she was admitting her mistake. "I'm sorry, Second Brother. I was playing hide-and-seek with Brother Cheng'an and didn't hear you calling me."
She didn't want to lie.
But her mother seemed to be very resistant to her getting close to Princess Yuqing.
If they found out, I'd probably get a beating.
So she decided to keep it a secret for now and tell her mother after she had gotten on the princess's good side.
She was doing this for her mother's good; it was a white lie.
"Never mind! It's good that you're back safe and sound."
Jiang Ziyan gently pinched his younger sister's nose.
Just as they were about to send someone to call Mother back, Aunt Xiuxiu returned in a flurry.
As they walked, they asked, "Have Miaomiao and Cheng'an returned?"
"We're back," the siblings said in unison.
Xiuxiu gave them a meaningful look, then hurried away.
it's dark.
Lu Qingyao thanked Princess Yuqing and returned home.
Looking at the two little ones who are obediently learning to write, I felt like something was off.
I've never seen them work so hard at night.
That's too strange.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her mother's face, which was sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, and lowered her head guiltily.
It seems the lie wasn't exposed; Princess Yuqing is quite righteous.
Now or never.
I have to go again tomorrow.
Lu Qingyao leaned closer to Xiuxiu and whispered in her ear, "Xiuxiu, keep a close eye on the two children tomorrow."
Xiuxiu is checking Jiang Miaomiao's small cloth bag.
Then I noticed the oil stains on the handkerchief, picked it up and smelled it.
"Sister, this is oil stains from the chestnut pastry."
Chestnut pastry?
Where did you get chestnut pastries? My family has never made chestnut pastries.
I did see it just now on the table at the princess's residence.
Jiang Ziyan frowned as he looked at the scribbles on the paper, then glanced at his absent-minded sister.
I understand in my heart.
Could it be that this younger sister really took Yan Cheng'an on a treasure hunt?
Jiang Miaomiao looked up.
I saw my mother, aunt and second brother rummaging through her little cloth bag.
This……
This means they don't believe her.
Do they really think they can dig up a treasure?
Isn't that setting expectations too high for her?
Then I saw my mother and aunt holding the handkerchief she used to wipe her mouth. Sometimes my aunt would sniff it, and sometimes my mother would take it and smell it.
This handkerchief is for wiping her mouth.
Oh, and he even wiped away Princess Yuqing's tears.
Then she heard her mother call her, "Miaomiao, come here."
"coming."
Jiang Miaomiao obediently walked over.
My heart was pounding. Had they found out anything?
Lu Qingyao stared at her daughter and asked, "Did you just eat chestnut pastry?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ...Wow! It really is true that the devil is always one step ahead of the saint.
What is my mother's nose made of? It's so sensitive!
"I...I ate it. Brother Cheng'an asked someone to buy it." Jiang Miaomiao said, turning back to give Yan Cheng'an a wink.
Yan Cheng'an understood immediately, "Yes, we ate it, we all ate it. I had someone go out and buy it."
Aunt Qingyao is amazing, even more amazing than her mother.
It seems I'll have to keep a low profile in Lu Garden from now on.
Lu Qingyao was speechless as she watched the two little figures singing in unison.
This little cotton-padded jacket is a bit drafty.
"Mother, it's getting late, Miaomiao should go to sleep. She has to study tomorrow morning," Jiang Miaomiao said, seizing the opportunity.
If the questioning continues, the truth will be revealed.
Lu Qingyao: ……
early morning.
Jiang Miaomiao got up early to go to school as always.
They're as well-behaved as little rabbits.
Today is the day my maternal grandmother and aunts are returning to the capital. My mother and aunts are preparing to go pick them up after breakfast.
After picking up the person, they wouldn't go home until nightfall.
So today is another day without any parents around.
Before leaving, her mother repeatedly reminded her, "Miaomiao, listen to your brother. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"Miaomiao, don't go fishing anymore, be careful not to fall into the pond."
"Miaomiao, you're not allowed to go out in the rain, or you'll catch a cold."
"Miaomiao, your mother is saying it one last time: you are not allowed to climb through the dog hole, and you are not allowed to go near the walls of the Princess's residence."
After speaking, he glanced at Yan Cheng'an.
Yan Cheng'an, who was slurping noodles, suddenly felt a cold wind blow by.
"I understand, Mother, I promise I won't cause any trouble." Jiang Miaomiao raised her hand to swear, revealing an obedient smile.
Mother rode away on Jiang Xiaohei, and Aunt followed behind.
Turning around, I saw my second brother's serious expression.
Well, without the tiger at home, the monkey can't be king.
I spent the whole morning memorizing books and writing characters.
Jiang Miaomiao seemed to have taken a magic pill; she memorized her lessons exceptionally well and fluently this morning.
Jiang Ziyan couldn't stop smiling.
As is customary, we take a nap after lunch.
The afternoon was my second brother's time to study, while the others were free to do as they pleased.
Time for some fresh air.
Jiang Miaomiao lay on the bed, planning to sneak out when her second brother got engrossed in his book.
Wake up from nap.
Jiang Miaomiao deliberately circled the study several times.
In a little while, he and Yan Cheng'an will play hide-and-seek.
A moment later, he took his second brother's pen and started scribbling on the paper.
I'll serve my second brother tea and water in a bit.
A little while later...
"Miaomiao, go out and play, don't cause trouble here, okay?" Jiang Ziyan said helplessly.
Okay, of course.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded obediently and pulled Yan Cheng'an out.
After circling the garden, I went straight to the corner of the wall and called out to Brother Liuyun.
Liu Yun appeared before them.
Xi'er followed reluctantly, feeling that the girl was always teetering on the edge of courting death.
But the girl said that if she didn't hide it from the madam, she wouldn't want her anymore and would be sent back to the Mu family.
That girl is really something, feeding her delicious food every day.
It made her gain a lot of weight.
How could they possibly go back to the Mu family?
Jiang Miaomiao was led to see Princess Yuqing, where she saw the princess dressed smartly and leading her servants to dig a hole under a tree.
"Princess Aunt, what are you doing?"
"Treasure hunting! I just found a jar of silver here." Princess Yuqing came over and pinched her little cheek.
Jiang Miaomiao is all grown up now, and she doesn't usually let anyone pinch her cheeks.
But princesses are different; they can be molded however they want.
But did the princess actually find any silver?
She looked closer and saw a ceramic jar in the center of the dug pit.
There really was a lot of pure silver inside.
