Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 492
Chapter 492 Invited By Mu Xuan
The ban was too urgent, causing panic in Plum City.
The citizens did not know what had happened, and they were panicking. They watched as the officers and soldiers carried torches to and fro on Plum City, and they did not dare to go out.
However, three hours had passed and Mei Cheng had been interrogated, but she still hadn’t found Yun Xiao’s whereabouts.
In the courtyard, Er Xiao’s loud crying could already be heard from afar.
Rong Ruo and Rong Xun carried Er Xiao back and forth in the room, their faces filled with anxiety. Hearing the news coming back from various places, without any news of Yun Xiao, their faces became more and more embarrassed, and Er Xiao’s cries became louder and louder.
Rong Ruo stretched out her hand and drove the person out. She looked anxiously at Rong Xun, who was at a loss. Rong Xun was hugging Nuo Nuo. Nuo Nuo’s cries were loud, causing everyone’s scalps to tighten.
Rong Xun’s eyebrows furrowed to the point that he could kill flies.
On the contrary, the Tongtong in Rong Ruo’s arms was much gentler. She only cried lightly. Her obsidian-like eyes were filled with tears. Her silent tears made people feel sad. It was even more uncomfortable than Nuo’s wailing.
Rong Ruo coaxed for a long time, but Tongtong’s crying could not stop. She stared at Rong Ruo with her tear stained eyes, which made Rong Ruo’s heart tighten. In the end, Rong Ruo could not hold back, “Daddy, what should we do now? Nuo and Tongtong can’t keep crying like this, their voices are hoarse.”
Ever since Congrong Jin handed Er Xiao to them, Er Xiao’s crying had never stopped, and her voice was a little hoarse. If he cried for a while longer, he would probably not be able to cry.
Rong Xun did not know what to do. He had never brought up a child. Even Rong Ruo was brought up by Rong Jin. ‘”Wait for your father to bring Yun Xiao back. They won’t eat now. They won’t be able to feed her even if they find a wet nurse.”
“What if father and mother can’t come back?” Rong Ruo’s heart softened when she saw Tongtong crying in her arms.
Rong Jin frowned. Seeing Chun Lan and Chun Mei walking back and forth outside the courtyard, his eyes flashed, “You guys come in.”
Chun Mei and Chun Lan quickly entered the main room and respectfully asked, “Young Master, please give orders.” Ever since Rong Xun ascended the throne and passed the throne to Rong Ruo, he had stepped down. Rong Xun had just passed the weak crown. He was not sensitive to the title of Grand Emperor, so he had the surrounding people address him as Young Master.
Rong Xun directly handed Nuo Nuo to Chun Lan. “This is your wife’s child. You guys will take care of Nuo Nuo. I’ll go help find someone.”
Chun Lan and Chun Mei received Nuo Nuo. Nuo Nuo blinked her big obsidian-like eyes as she looked at Chun Lan. She continued to flatten her mouth and cried loudly.
Chun Mei and Chun Lan were at a loss for words. Their faces were embarrassed. They searched through them and finally found out that Nuo Nuo’s clothes were wet. They changed her clothes and found a nurse to feed her again. Nuo Nuo still didn’t eat. The two of them had no choice but to get some water to feed Nuo Nuo.
Nuo Nuo drank some water and cried softly. There were still tears hanging from the corner of his eyes. He had already fallen asleep.
Seeing that Nuo was asleep, Rong Ruo immediately gave Tongtong to Chun Mei and Chun Lan. When the two of them coaxed Tongtong to sleep, it was already two hours later.
When Chun Mei and Chun Lan saw that Er Xiao was really asleep, they wiped away the tears that were still hanging at the corner of Er Xiao’s eyes. Their hearts ached. They quickly walked out and bowed to Rong Xun and Rong Ruo. They respectfully said, “Young Master, Your Majesty, the two young masters have drunk some water and are already asleep. However, this is not the way to go on. We need to let the young master eat something.”
Rong Xun and Rong Ruo exchanged a glance. They also knew that they had to let Er Xiao eat something. Otherwise, when they returned Er Xiao to Yun Xiao and Rong Jin, Er Xiao would probably lose one lap. However, Er Xiao was too stubborn. Other than Yun Xiao’s breast milk, the others didn’t look at it. Even if they were crying, they wouldn’t eat a bite.
“Are all children so difficult to take care of now?”
Chun Mei and Chun Lan pondered their words for a moment before saying, “Not necessarily. They should have followed Rong Jin and Yun Xiao since they were young. They are already familiar with each other.”
However, at this moment, Er Xiao, who had just fallen asleep in the room, started crying again. Her voice was much weaker than before.
The four of them quickly entered the room. Seeing that Er Xiao had already woken up with her ink-jade-like eyes open, they frowned. Chun Lan and Chun Mei had already picked up one person and gently coaxed the other in their hands.
However, no matter how they coaxed her, Er Xiao was still crying non-stop. Rong Xun frowned tightly and said, “Come, go and take Granny Yu and Elder Yu.” Since Er Xiao was a recognized student, apart from being with Yun Xiao Rong Jin, the people she saw the most in this month were Granny Yu and Elder Yu.
It would take an hour and a half to pick up Granny Yu outside the city. If Er Xiao cried for another hour and a half, his voice would probably be extremely hoarse.
Chun Mei and Chun Lan looked at Rong Ruo at the same time. Rong Ruo felt a little uncomfortable when she was looked at by their burning eyes. She frowned and said, “What are you guys looking at me for?”
“We heard that Uncle brought up Emperor by himself. What did Emperor eat to grow up?” After all, Chun Mei and Chun Lan were unmarried people, and they had no experience in bringing up children.
Rong Ruo frowned. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Daddy said that I didn’t recognize wet nurses when I was young, so I always ate with soy sauce mixed with rice paste and minced meat.” After Rong Ruo finished speaking, she looked at Nuo and Tongtong. The two were too small. “Nuo and Tongtong are so picky, and they’re so small. They won’t be easy to digest.”
“But there’s no other way. Let’s try it first. Let’s get some soybean juice first.” The two of them decided to do it. They returned Er Xiao to Rong Xun and Rong Ruo again and quickly ran out.
After a while, when Granny Yu and Elder Yu returned and coaxed Er Xiao to sleep, it was already dawn, and everyone’s faces were filled with exhaustion that could not be concealed.
He was simply too capable of being tormented.
…
At dawn, Rong Ruo had no choice but to revoke the ban in order to appease the people. Outside, it was said that the enemy had stolen the treasures of Xi Yue and fled to Mei City. Only then did the people stabilize.
In order to stabilize the officials, Rong Ruo had to temporarily instruct Chun Mei and Chun Lan to take good care of Nuo and Tongtong. He had to go back to the court.
However, the impact of the ban was so great that the officials in the Imperial Court were discussing it endlessly.
Rong Xun was worried and followed him to the palace.
With great difficulty, he left the court. Rong Ruo immediately had someone tidy up the memorial. “Your Majesty, Grand Emperor, aunt Lan just sent a message that there was a father-in-law in the Great Empress Dowager’s bedroom who did not return all night last night. However, after leaving the palace, he followed her to the Uncle’s Mansion and lost track of the father-in-law.”
Rong Ruo’s eyes suddenly lit up. But then, he became gloomy, Looking at Rong Xun, he said, “Yesterday, Zhou Jingyan entered Plum City and kidnapped his mother. He will definitely find a place to stay. An Hua sent people out of the palace yesterday and has now joined forces with Zhou Jingyan. Since An Hua’s people disappeared near the mansion, this matter must have something to do with the mansion. Should we send people to surround the mansion?”
Rong Xun glared at Rong Ruo, “Your analysis is correct, but once you surround the Uncle’s Mansion, you will directly tear your face off with the Uncle’s Mansion. Now is not the time, let alone if the news leaks out and An Hua and Zhou Jingyan threaten Yun Xiao’s life directly, will you let go?”
Rong Ruo frowned tightly, “But we can’t let go of the people from the National Uncle’s Mansion just like that.”
‘”I’ve endured for so many years. Can’t I hold back this little bit of time? Don’t alarm me now. I haven’t heard from big brother in such a long time. Maybe he has caught up with Yun Xiao. Let’s wait a bit longer.” As for the reason why Rong Xun didn’t want to fight with the Uncle’s Manor, Rong Xun didn’t say it clearly.
Rong Ruo nodded her head, her thick eyebrows tightly knitted together, her palm-sized face carrying a dense sense of relief. This Yue Emperor’s actions were truly too aggrieved, he had to endure everything.
“Your banning order last night has already alarmed the snakes. In order to relax the vigilance of those people, you shouldn’t ask about this now. In two days, the team of the East Jin emissaries will enter Plum City. You should prepare well for them.” Rong Xun instructed coldly. Then, he sneered, “Rong Ruo, big brother has taught you for so long. If you can’t do such a small thing, then change the position of Yue Emperor as soon as possible.”
Rong Ruo frowned tightly. After hearing Rong Xun’s words, Rong Ruo felt a little sorry for Rong Jin’s father. However, thinking that his parents were in danger, he couldn’t help but worry. If it was something else, he definitely wouldn’t be so worried. However, Rong Ruo was only five years old, and she couldn’t help but feel a little angry. Moreover, she had been crying in her ears all night last night, and her mood had become a little chaotic.
After calming down, Rong Ruo said, “I know what to do. However, what about mother?”
“Your father and the people from the Ten Directions Palace will try to rescue you. You just need to do your own thing.” Rong Xun’s voice was a little cold. His expression did not show, but after a night, he did not see Yun Xiao and Rong Jin return. This matter must be extraordinary.
Right at this moment, Eunuch Wang respectfully walked in. Eunuch Wang was the current manager of the West Yue Imperial Palace and also the manager of Rong Ruo’s side. “Reporting to His Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan, Mu Xuan, sent an invitation to His Majesty to the Mu Clan to have a chat.”
Rong Ruo’s eyes immediately lit up, but thinking of Rong Xun’s words, she quickly calmed down her excitement. She waved to Eunuch Wang to go down and looked at Rong Xun, “Mu Xuan invited me to the Mu Manor. This is an opportunity. Father, I want to go.”
Many people knew that Rong Ruo’s mother was Mu Xuan, and with Mu Xuan personally inviting her, no one could say why.
However, when he heard Mu Xuan’s name, Rong Xun’s unruly eyes flashed with a trace of unconcealable disgust.
