Chapter 205 Adopted Daughter
Lu Chaochao slept very well this time.
Better than ever before.
The little guy sat up, rubbing his eyes with his fleshy fists in confusion.
After rubbing his eyes, he found the environment unfamiliar, and Lu Chaochao stammered: "Am I sleepwalking?"
Yu Shu came in with a copper basin, his eyes red.
Last night, one of the maids was from Lu Chaochao's courtyard, and she had a very good relationship with her.
"This is General Rong's mansion. It will take about three days to move back." Something big happened in the mansion, and General Rong was worried and wanted to choose the guards himself.
Lu Chaochao suddenly remembered what happened last night.
Her little face turned pale in an instant.
"Mother, mother!" Lu Chaochao jumped off the bed anxiously.
Yu Shu hurriedly stopped her and held her in his arms: "Madam is fine, General Rong has asked the imperial physician to see her and prescribed some tranquilizers. Don't be afraid, everything is over."
Yu Shu put on shoes and socks for Lu Chaochao, only to find that her feet were severely frostbitten.
She didn't ask, but her eyes were hot, and she lowered her head while applying medicine and wiping tears.
"Apply medicine more times to avoid frostbite." The tender thick feet, a little bit big, were red from the cold.
Yushu felt distressed.
Lu Chaochao nodded obediently: "Okay, thank you sister Yushu." She still spoke with a childish voice.
There was no longer the killing god look of yesterday.
Yushu put on soft winter shoes for her and personally carried her to the next room.
"Do you want to see Princess Zhaoyang?" The imperial physician was about to leave and suddenly asked.
Xu's eyes changed slightly, and she opened her hand to take Chaochao: "Forget it, Chaochao should be fine. She is afraid of strangers." She smiled and declined.
After the imperial physician left, Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is Chaochao awake?"
Lu Chaochao hummed sullenly and lay on Xu's shoulder: "Fortunately, mother is fine." At this moment, she could only vaguely remember what happened before she knocked on the door.
After knocking on the door, she could no longer remember it clearly.
"Did Uncle Rong save us?" she asked innocently.
Xu was startled, and Rong Che just came in, smiling and saying, "Yes, Uncle Rong came back last night. In the future, Uncle Rong will protect you and never let you get hurt again."
The prince followed Rong Che, and when he saw Lu Chaochao alive, his heart fell back to where it was.
"Brother Prince, why are your hands so cold?" Lu Chaochao looked concerned.
The prince did not say that he was too worried, but just smiled and said that she was wearing too little.
The prince put his hand next to her nose from time to time, and confirmed that she was breathing again and again before he dared to rest assured.
"Take it away, it's blocking my nose." Lu Chaochao gradually got annoyed.
Why do you always touch other people's noses?
"Chaochao got up and hasn't had breakfast yet, go eat something first." The prince ordered Yu Shu to carry Lu Chaochao out.
Wait until Lu Chaochao left.
Rong Che said, "The people last night came from the South Country. After investigation, many people came out of the South Country, and it seems that they are looking for people." Rong Che secretly glanced at Yunniang.
"And Chao Chao... She seems to have forgotten what happened last night."
The prince knew about Rong Che and Xu's affairs, Rong Che would know it sooner or later, and he had never concealed it from Rong Che.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Chao Chao is careless, and when she is strongly stimulated, she will lose control. Madam Xu should have seen it with her own eyes last night, right?"
Xu nodded with a pale face.
At that time, Chao Chao was not like Chao Chao.
On the contrary, she was like a god who dominated everything.
She had no thoughts of her own, no joys and sorrows of her own.
"Madam Xu, don't worry, Chao Chao's heart will soon return to its origin. She will be completely herself." After a thousand years of worship by the whole country, she will be completely reborn.
Xu cried with joy: "Your Highness, are you serious?"
"Really." The prince's eyebrows curved, which was also the reason why he protected Bei Zhao.
After the prince confirmed Lu Chao Chao's situation, he returned to the palace early to report.
The emperor was worried about Lu Chao Chao's situation. Besides, his father and mother had a big fight last night.
The prince was not very reassured.
The Xu family heard the news and rushed over without changing their official uniforms as soon as they left the court.
Xu Yiting looked at Xu carefully and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"If I had known earlier, I would have forced you to move back to the Xu family, but you were really scared. Your parents also clamored to see you." The eldest sister-in-law helped her into the house and sat down.
"Fortunately, General Rong is next door, otherwise I'm afraid something big would happen."
No one publicized Lu Chaochao's murder.
After all, she was only two years old, and the murderer turned into thousands of pieces directly. It was too horrifying, which would inevitably cause everyone to panic about Princess Zhaoyang.
After everyone entered.
General Rong knew that the Xu family had something to discuss, so he closed the door and waited outside.
The eldest sister-in-law nodded slightly: "Lu Yuanze, you are really not as good as General Rong in character."
"You really scared me to death."
"After hearing the news, everyone in the family was almost scared to death. You just divorced and escaped from the devil's cave, how could you encounter such a thing! When the abbot of Huguo Temple comes back, I will definitely take you to pray for peace and smoothness."
"You actually encountered such an unexpected disaster."
But Xu shook her head gently: "It's not an unexpected disaster."
"Instead, it was caused by me. Please go to the Lu family account to withdraw some money later. Give some subsidies to the families affected this time. Just consider it as a little bit of your intention."
The eldest sister-in-law was about to ask, when she saw Xu take out the dragon-patterned jade pendant from her bosom.
Just now, she asked Chaochao for it.
The eldest sister-in-law was startled and looked up at Xu Yiting.
Xu Yiting's eyes darkened slightly: "What does this mean?"
Xu smiled bitterly, her eyes full of bitterness: "Brother, are you still hiding this from me at this time?"
"The man last night came for this jade pendant."
"I am not of the Xu family, am I?" Mrs. Xu looked at her eldest brother with tears in her eyes.
She had lived in the Xu family for more than ten years. The Xu family's parents, as well as her three brothers, loved her very much. She had never doubted her identity.
Xu Yiting sat dejectedly on the chair.
His eyes were far away, as if he was lost in past memories.
"We picked you up."
"At that time, Dad was not yet the Grand Tutor."
"When I found you, it was a winter night, and it was snowing like last night."
"At that time, my mother had just given birth to my third brother. In her dreams, she always felt that she heard the cry of a baby in her ears..."
"She got up to check countless times, but the cry stopped abruptly. It was like her hallucination..."
"Mother was flustered and restless."
"She always felt that something was calling her. It was still dark and snowing heavily, but my mother insisted on going. Let's go out and have a look."
"We were just playing around, so we got on the carriage with our mother."
"Perhaps, it was destined."
"Mother followed the guidance of her heart and walked through the city. The group was shivering with cold, and the blizzard made it difficult to see the road. We walked further and further away..."
"When we were about to leave the city, we heard a weak cry."
"The cry was extremely weak, like a kitten, intermittent and weaker. We jumped off the car and searched in the blizzard." Xu Yiting sighed.
I thought this matter would be buried deep in my heart.
But I didn't expect it to bring disaster to my sister.
Last night, I almost lost my life.
