Chapter 292 Dangerous Person
"silver!"
"Is there any more? I'll go dig some tonight?"
Xiuxiu looked delighted.
She wasn't interested in money.
But digging for silver is much more interesting, like digging for treasure.
Jiang Miaomiao was also curious, as she had never dug for silver before.
She had originally planned to dig up some jewelry under the peach tree in her yard in Taoxi Village, but when she remembered it...
My mother took it out long ago.
She held it in her hand and found it uninteresting.
Miaomiao tugged at her mother's sleeve and shook it, "Mother, is there any more? I want to dig some too."
Lu Qingyao: ...
She shouldn't have talked about things like climbing over walls to dig for treasure in front of the child; the child might be imitating her.
What if he learns bad habits from them?
Then, the little girl was reluctantly ordered by her mother to be taken away.
Jiang Miaomiao pouted.
Ha! Just because you won't let me hear it doesn't mean I can't hear it.
I still have Chuchu.
They saw the little girl being pulled away by Xi'er.
Lu Qingyao then opened up, and the two of them huddled together, whispering to each other.
Lu Qingyao: "Confiscating property involves scaling walls and digging up gardens. Where would you find so much gold and silver waiting for you to dig up?"
"How did you manage to dig that up, sister?" Xiuxiu asked, looking at her older sister.
"It must have been hidden by my second brother, a secret stash of money he hid behind his wife's back. Guess where he hid it?"
"Where to hide?"
"Garden? Under the tree? In the crack of the rock?"
Lu Qingyao shook her head.
"Inside the chimney."
Most officials would only raid gardens by scaling walls, and few would even consider the chimneys.
After all, there's not much that can be hidden inside.
It can only hide small items.
She had seen her second brother hide pocket money in his toy when he was a child, so she went to try her luck, and sure enough, she found some.
"A chimney?" Xiuxiu asked thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand.
I heard that the garden next door belongs to Prince Su, but no one lives there now.
Perhaps there are some good things hidden in the gardens of these princes and nobles; she thought she might go and dig them up one night.
"Don't even think about it. There must be someone guarding that garden next door." Lu Qingyao picked up a palm-leaf fan and tapped Xiuxiu on the head.
She saw Xiuxiu climb the tree and peer into the neighboring house for several days, and she even asked the Mu family's servants about it.
I knew she was very curious about that garden.
It's best not to easily explore the rebel king's residence, in case someone has set a trap.
That's something that even if you had a million mouths, you still couldn't explain.
Xiuxiu was naturally aware of the risks and knew there was no need to needlessly invite trouble, so she immediately dismissed the idea.
But Xiao Miaomiao, who was sitting on the lawn petting the wolf, became even more curious.
People dare not enter that garden, but her chirping is allowed.
The little girl proudly hugged Chiu Chiu and pressed her cheek against it.
As Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu talked, their gazes fell on Xiao Miaomiao.
I saw my daughter whispering something to Qiuqiu, and then she giggled.
Both of them felt guilty for not being able to spend time with Miaomiao.
The little guy seems a bit lonely.
He often spaced out and would occasionally talk to the little red bird and the white wolf.
Talking to myself...
That night, Jiang Miaomiao's heart was pounding.
Why do her mother and aunt keep staring at her all the time?
He would talk to her for a while, ask her how she was doing, trim her fingernails and toenails, and comb her hair.
What's going on here?
Could it be that she has some incurable disease?
It was her mother who discovered her secret.
Day two.
Early in the morning.
Jiang Miaomiao was pulled out of bed by her second brother.
The little girl, still half-asleep and with a messy head of hair, sat obediently on the edge of the bed.
She let her second brother tie her hair into a bun.
Xi'er was directing from the side.
Jiang Miaomiao wondered to herself, what's wrong with her second brother? He's doing her hair and dressing her for the first time ever.
"Second brother, I won't make you angry today. I'll study hard. You should... not tie my hair anymore." It's been going on for almost half an hour.
They took it apart and then tied it up again, then tied it up and then took it apart again.
My hair is even more tangled; I can't even comb it.
The little girl was woken up from her nap and stared blankly out the window.
Xi'er couldn't stand it anymore.
"Young master, let me do it."
"Hmm." Jiang Ziyan gave up; this girl's hair was really difficult to deal with.
It's harder than studying.
He felt he had been too harsh on his sister yesterday and was afraid she would dislike him and avoid him.
"Miaomiao, we won't be studying this morning. Your brother will play football with you. Aunt Jiangyue will also be bringing Xiaocheng'an later." It would be good for him to have a playmate since he wouldn't be in the capital anymore.
"Well... okay." Jiang Miaomiao nodded.
She originally wanted to be a quiet and refined young lady, and stay with her second brother while he studied.
But whether it's playing football or reading books, you can read them anytime.
Before noon, Aunt Jiang Yue arrived with Yan Cheng'an, saying they were there to freeload a meal.
As soon as he saw his mother, he pulled her into the house to whisper secrets.
Aunt Xiuxiu went to prepare the dishes.
As usual, Jiang Miaomiao ran to her mother's arms and pricked up her little ears to listen.
Yan Cheng'an watched Jiang Miaomiao go inside. He wanted to go in too, but his mother glared at him and stopped him.
Jiang Ziyan stopped wandering outside and went back inside to read.
Because his younger sister will surely come over and talk to him soon.
Mu Jiangyue held her best friend's hand and said, "Yaoyao, it's all my brother's fault. He partitioned your house in the wrong direction. It should have been partitioned at the other end. Now look what's happened, we're going to be neighbors with her."
Lu Qingyao was completely confused.
Besides Mu Yunji's empty house, the house next door belonging to Prince Su is also empty.
Where did this neighbor come from?
Could it be...
"Has the house next door gotten a new owner?"
Mu Jiangyue nodded, "It's Princess Yuqing. She wants to move to the garden next to yours. I learned about it from my aunt, the Empress Dowager. You should avoid her as much as possible and not provoke her."
Lu Qingyao: ...
Sure enough, the house wasn't chosen well.
We shouldn't have come here.
They're just neighbors, how could Your Highness possibly eat them?
Besides, that noble princess probably wouldn't want to visit anyone.
Looking at Yao Yao's indifferent expression, Mu Jiangyue didn't know how to say it; that matter had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
He only dared to tell Qianxue, for fear that others would find out and cause trouble.
But if I don't say anything, I'm afraid Yao Yao might accidentally offend her.
She leaned closer to Lu Qingyao, whispered in her ear, "Yaoyao, I suspect that the deaths of Consort Cao, Madam Cao, and Princess Jiayue are all related to Princess Yuqing."
Lu Qingyao's pupils dilated slightly, and she asked in surprise, "What makes you say that?"
Even if the Mu family is related to the royal family, it's best not to provoke those princes and princesses.
Suddenly, she realized that there was a little baby in her arms, staring intently at them.
Jiang Miaomiao was listening intently when she was carried out again.
I'm unhappy because now that I'm grown up, even eavesdropping on others is something they have to watch out for.
Seeing that no one was in the room, Mu Jiangyue continued, "I'm not making this up. On the day we returned to the capital, Princess Yuqing and Consort Cao came to pick up Princess Jiayue. The couple had a big fight, and Consort Cao couldn't see the child. After we went back, Consort Cao disappeared, and rumors of a mistress spread. Then came the little princess. Both Madam Cao and that mistress disappeared. I suspect... Princess Jiayue is not of royal blood and is not Princess Yuqing's biological child."
She didn't want to say it.
But Yao Yao and her child live next door to such a dangerous person.
Have to guard against it.
Lu Qingyao: ...
I was caught off guard and stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
From now on, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep peacefully.
