Chapter 350: Bringing Them Back Safely
Chapter 350: Bringing Them Back Safely
"Where?" Meng Qianqian asked.
Lu Yuan glanced at the bustling street with its mix of fish and dragons, "Let's talk about it on the way back."
Meng Qianqian got into the carriage.
Suddenly, she realized something and asked Lu Yuan seriously, "Which second aunt are you talking about?"
Lu Yuan smiled faintly, "You acknowledged Celestial Dragon as your brother, and Celestial Dragon's second aunt is also your second aunt, right?"
Meng Qianqian opened her mouth and shifted her gaze, "Oh, that's true."
The great villain's eyes were sharp, would he see through her and realize she was the reincarnated Shang Jiu?
Lu Yuan said calmly, "If you don't like it, you don't have to call her that in the future."
Meng Qianqian blinked, "My husband is right. Celestial Dragon and I are sworn siblings. His second aunt is my second aunt. You are my husband, so you can also call her second aunt. That's what we'll call her from now on!"
After saying this, she changed the topic, "By the way, did you come specifically to find me?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her and took out ten books, placing them on the table.
They were all newly published storybooks.
Meng Qianqian felt embarrassed, "The study is open? I went there earlier, but it was closed. I thought of taking my younger sisters for a lamb hot pot and then trying my luck again. It's good that my husband is so filial, no wonder Great-Grandmother dotes on you so much."
Lu Yuan said, "Stop flattering me. Did you come here to try your luck?"
"I'm looking for someone, aren't I?" Meng Qianqian handed the sleeping Bao Shu to him, "Besides, it's your daughter who won't let go of her."
Lu Yuan gave her a cold look, "Do you think I'll believe that?"
Meng Qianqian felt extremely wronged, "I swear to heaven and earth, it's true!"
Lu Yuan humphed coldly, "Hmph."
"I don't believe it..."
Meng Qianqian whispered, then pushed a skewer of candied hawthorn into his hand, "Here!"
Lu Yuan took the candied hawthorn, and also picked up the sleeping little one.
Although he was annoyed, when he saw him actually take a bite of the candied hawthorn she had bought for him, all of Meng Qianqian's annoyance vanished instantly.
Meng Qianqian rested her chin in her hand and watched him.
Lu Yuan's eating manners were very refined, exuding an innate elegance.
"Is there something on my face?" Lu Yuan asked calmly.
Meng Qianqian smiled, "There are mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, the passing of days and nights, and the world above and below."
Lu Yuan's face turned slightly red.
The couple went to the mutton restaurant to pick up Tan Er and Bai Yuwei.
After a satisfying meal, they got into the carriage and fell asleep.
Bai Yuwei had just arrived in the capital and thought she was a spoiled and arrogant young lady, but it turned out that she had a childlike personality, just like Tan Er.
After returning to the mansion, Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian went to Majestic King's courtyard.
As they entered, they saw that Celestial Dragon was also there, playing chess with Majestic King.
Both of them were equally terrible at chess, but it was surprisingly harmonious.
"Grandpa! Brother!" Meng Qianqian greeted them with a smile.
"Haha! I won!" Majestic King placed a piece, "My granddaughter-in-law is my lucky star. As soon as you arrived, I won!"
Celestial Dragon looked at the chessboard doubtfully, "Is this how you won?"
Majestic King patted his shoulder, "Hey, would an old man over a hundred years old deceive you? Give me the money, give me the money!"
Celestial Dragon's money pouch was empty.
Majestic King gave all the winnings to Meng Qianqian.
Celestial Dragon instantly felt relieved.
"Where did you disappear to for a few days?"
"Did you hear from Majestic King that there's news about a child?"
Lu Yuan and Celestial Dragon spoke at the same time.
Lu Yuan looked at Celestial Dragon suspiciously, "Did you deliberately avoid going to the Ministry of Punishment, leaving me to deal with the investigation alone?"
Celestial Dragon paused, "Is it that obvious?"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Meng Qianqian was also very surprised. How could Celestial Dragon, who never lied, play such a subtle trick?
But then she thought, he only said he had something to do, and didn't specify what it was. How could avoiding an investigation not be considered something? Meng Qianqian touched her forehead, "Brother, I thought you had important matters to attend to, and I've been worried about you for several days. It turns out you just didn't want to undergo the investigation."
Celestial Dragon said, "The people from the Ministry of Punishment are very annoying."
He had been detained there for a period, and although there was no torture, it was even more unbearable than that.
Lu Yuan said coldly, "You managed to avoid the trouble, but do you know I was questioned for three days and three nights?"
Celestial Dragon replied, "Anyway, you're an official appointed by the Emperor, so dealing with these matters should be easy for you."
Lu Yuan laughed in anger, "And you have the nerve to say that?"
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Meng Qianqian quickly played the peacemaker, "Alright, stop arguing. Let's talk about serious matters! Brother, there are two things. First, I met the person who helped you find the evidence in the secret chamber of the Chancellor's Mansion and helped you find the exit."
Celestial Dragon was shocked, "You... you know?"
Lu Yuan humphed, "Was it hard to guess?"
Meng Qianqian asked Celestial Dragon, "Brother, is he Shen Hou?"
Celestial Dragon hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Don't ask me, I won't say anything."
Lu Yuan chuckled, "If you don't say it, I won't either. Then go and guess where the Dragon and Phoenix Twins are."
Celestial Dragon's expression remained unchanged.
Lu Yuan frowned strangely, and his gaze shifted to Majestic King, who was stealthily sneaking away.
"Old man!"
"I didn't tell him! I just gave him the hunting eagle! You didn't say I couldn't give it to him!"
"I'm leaving first."
Celestial Dragon picked up the sword box from the wall and said to Lu Yuan, "It doesn't matter if you tell me or not. I can follow Majestic King's hunting eagle and find them too."
He turned to Meng Qianqian, his tone softening, "Take care. I will definitely bring them back safely."
"They're at Ling Shan."
Lu Yuan spoke calmly, "It's faster to go by water."
