Nan Xiao lightly hooked the corner of his lips, "Dad, Mom is too shy to say it, so I'll say it. Camino likes Xi Bao, and Jenny likes Camino. Women's hatred can come as quickly as it goes."
Lan Haolin was slightly stunned, "Huh? Camino likes Xi'er? How come I didn't know?"
Tang Wan sighed softly, "It doesn't matter if you know or not, the important thing is that even Bess knows. She even hinted at Xi'er today, but our Xi'er cleverly refuted it."
Lan Haolin frowned slightly, "I'll talk to Camino tonight and tell him to give up this idea sooner."
"No need to talk, he already has no such intention." Lan Yuxi picked up Chao Chao and placed him on her lap, saying softly, "Before you come of age, Mom will only give you this one chance to practice. In the future, for any dangerous matters, you and your sister should not get involved. If others are hostile to me, I will ignore them, but if they dare to make a move, Dad and Mom will retaliate. You and your sister are still young and should live a life appropriate for your age. Do you understand?"
Chao Chao nodded, "Mom, I understand. After Han Yi younger brother is discharged from the hospital, my sister and I will accompany him to kindergarten."
Lan Yuxi blinked her eyes, "Did I hear that correctly, Mom?"
Mu Mu smiled and waved her hand, "Mom, you didn't hear wrong. We've already agreed with Han Yi younger brother that we'll accompany him to school once he's better."
Tang Wan asked with a smile, "You two are almost done with junior high school courses, can you really go to kindergarten?"
Mu Mu said with a smile, "We'll play with younger brother, and when he can adapt to life there, my brother and I can escape this sea of suffering."
Tang Wan couldn't help but laugh at her words.
Lan Haolin also nodded with satisfaction, "Our Xi'er really knows how to educate her children!"
Tang Wan nudged his arm, "Nan Xiao also deserves credit for educating the two children so well."
Lan Yuxi snorted coldly, "What did he do? I didn't see it."
Nan Xiao nuzzled his daughter's cheek, "Grandpa is angry, it seems Dad will have to spend more time with you all from now on."
Mu Mu tilted her cute little face and asked in a childish voice, "Dad, will you say that about my husband in the future too?"
"…Hahaha…"
"Haha…"
Everyone in the car burst into laughter.
Upon returning to the Lan family castle, Elder Hong greeted them with a smile, "My two little darlings are finally back. I've been watching cartoons out of boredom for quite some time."
"I'll keep you company tonight," Lan Yuxi said with a smile.
"Oh? Don't you have a banquet tonight?"
"I'm not going to the banquet."
Lan Haolin glanced at Lan Yuxi, "Isn't it bad if you don't go?"
Lan Yuxi pouted, "There's nothing wrong with it. If Uncle Sandy asks about me, you can say that Mu Mu was frightened and is ill."
Lan Haolin thought for a moment but still couldn't figure out what his daughter was up to, so he dismissed the servants and asked, "What are you planning now?"
Lan Yuxi lightly hooked the corner of her lips, "Bert has always looked down on you as a duke of a foreign race, hasn't he? This time, I'll make him kneel at your feet and beg for your forgiveness."
Tang Wan looked over, "You just told your Uncle Sandy that this matter is over, is it okay to do this?"
Lan Yuxi smiled, "I said it's over, but can Uncle Sandy and Camino just let it go? However, tonight, you must stop everyone for me, because I have something to do outside."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "I'll go with you when I get back."
"You can't go. You are the Prime Minister of China, and you must always be mindful of your words and actions in Nokas. I'm different. I am the princess of Nokas. If I go and fail, no one will dare to say anything."
Lan Haolin looked at them suspiciously, "What riddles are you two playing?"
Lan Yuxi said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the First Prison to get someone out."
"Why go through so much trouble to go there? I can get them out for you directly."
"This cannot be done openly, otherwise, we won't be able to find out anything."
Lan Haolin thought for a moment, "Then take a few more people with you."
"Not too many people, just Eagle and Nan Yi will be enough… Dad, find me a hidden place."
Lan Haolin pondered for a moment, took out his phone, and dialed, "Fifth, come back."
After his father hung up, Lan Yuxi pouted and asked, "Why are you looking for my fifth brother?"
"Let him go with you. He's more familiar with this place than you are. When you bring the person out, let him escort you to a safe place."
Elder Hong rubbed his head, "I'll go help you too."
Lan Yuxi chuckled, "You old man, don't go. Stay home and take care of the two little ones for me."
Elder Hong looked at the two adorable little ones and smiled kindly, "Do you two need your grand-master to accompany you?"
"Yes~" Mu Mu smiled and climbed onto Elder Hong's lap.
Lan Haolin looked at Elder Hong, "Elder Hong, there are no outsiders here now, so you should tell Xi'er about your business. With her here, you will be much more relieved."
Lan Yuxi propped her chin on her hand and stared intently at Elder Hong, "I knew from the beginning that you were a person with a story, but since you wouldn't say it, I didn't dare to investigate. Tell me, what exactly happened? Perhaps I can actually help."
Elder Hong sighed softly, "Originally, you would have had a師娘 (shīniáng - master's wife)."
Lan Yuxi's mouth gaped in astonishment, "Then where is my 師娘?"
"She's gone." Elder Hong paused before continuing, "I was young back then, and on the eve of my wedding, I crippled a bully in the capital. Because of this, I went to the South and missed my wedding date. At that time, your 師娘 was already pregnant. Her parents forced her to abort the child. To protect the child, your 師娘 ran away while pregnant. For years, I have been looking for her, but she and that child seem to have vanished into thin air, with no news at all."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips, "Tell me your 師娘's name and her specific features, and I'll help you find her."
Elder Hong took out a wallet from his inner pocket and handed it to Lan Yuxi. Lan Yuxi opened the wallet and saw a yellowed photograph. In the photo was a woman with bright eyes and perfect beauty.
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "So, 師娘 was so beautiful, no wonder you haven't forgotten her. Master, may I ask about the background of the person you crippled? Is it possible that he couldn't find you and took his anger out on 師娘?"
"I thought so too at the time. I went to find him as soon as I returned. He didn't even have the ability to protect himself, let alone the ability to harm your 師娘." Elder Hong paused and said in a deep voice, "I suspect your 師娘 deliberately avoided me, otherwise, how could a living person leave no trace at all. All these years, I have been secretly looking for her, afraid of alarming her and causing her to move again."
