Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 696 An Unavoidable Problem

It was late at night, but the lights were still on in Prince Yi's bedroom. The room was very quiet, and neither the mother nor the child on the bed were sleepy at all.

Yuheng didn't know why her mother wanted her to sleep with her tonight, and her mind became more and more confused. She didn't want her mother to be sad because of her leaving, but she really didn't want to be separated from that big family.

"Yuheng, go to sleep, otherwise you'll fall asleep in the carriage tomorrow." Looking at her daughter, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, the princess couldn't bear to look at her any longer and spoke with heartache.

Huh? Yuheng was a little confused after hearing her mother's words, and looked at her smiling mother in disbelief.

"Your father and I know you want to continue with your mother and master, and we agree. Let's set off with them first thing tomorrow morning," the princess said softly.

"Mother, you really agree? How could you agree? Aren't you angry with your daughter? Don't you think I'm unfilial, heartless, and immature?" Yuheng was really surprised to hear her mother's clear words.

The princess smiled even more and said, "My daughter is the most sensible, filial and kindest child. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so troubled and worried about how to tell us this."

"Mother." Yuheng's tears welled up instantly. After calling out "Mother," she couldn't utter anything else.

The princess's eyes also reddened. She gently wiped away her daughter's tears and said, "Don't cry. If you cry again, I might change my mind and not let you leave."

Even so, Yuheng still cried her eyes out.

The princess didn't try to persuade her daughter any further. She simply pulled her daughter into her arms, gently stroking her back, without giving any specific instructions about being careful while out or about coming back to visit often.

Yuheng, nestled in her mother's arms, gradually calmed down and didn't promise her that she would come back often.

When Hong Xiaoduo and the others saw Yuheng after daybreak, they noticed that her eyes were swollen and assumed that she was crying because she was reluctant to part ways.

Hong Xiaoduo didn't try to persuade or comfort her anymore, and Quan Jinghuai and the others also avoided the topic.

Seeing that their daughter didn't bring up the idea of ​​going together, the princess and her husband tacitly kept quiet about it.

It wasn't until after breakfast, when they had packed their things and left the palace, that they saw the princess hand Yuheng a package, and the prince whispering instructions to her. Only then did Hong Xiaoduo and the others realize that something was wrong, and that the prince and princess had agreed to let Yuheng continue to follow them.

"Your Highness and Your Highness, rest assured, she should be back by your side soon." Before boarding the carriage, Hong Xiaoduo walked up to the prince and princess and whispered to them after seeing that Yuheng had already boarded the carriage.

“Young Lady Hong, as long as Yuheng wants to continue following you, then let her follow. My husband and I have already thought it through and discussed it. We are very relieved that Yuheng is with you.”

I didn't agree to her request just to please her. It's because she can learn literature and martial arts by following you, and she can broaden her horizons through experience outside. This is much more meaningful than keeping her in the royal palace as a pampered princess.

"Young Lady Hong, you are our family's benefactor and savior. My daughter, Yuheng, will need your continued care from now on." After saying this, the princess stepped back to stand beside her husband and bowed respectfully to Hong Xiaoduo.

"Please don't do this, actually..." Hong Xiaoduo wanted to stop them, but it was too late. She wanted to explain, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yuheng and the others peering through the car window at them.

Hey, forget it!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Hong Xiaoduo thanks you both for your trust. Farewell, and until we meet again." Hong Xiaoduo raised her hand in farewell, turned and walked towards the carriage, silently thinking, "Farewell, and never to meet again!"

After the carriage started moving, Yuheng waved to his parents and five older brothers through the carriage window.

It's hard to leave after just a few days of getting to know each other, but I'm not sad.

After turning around and sitting down, Yuheng fell silent.

"We haven't gone far yet. If you're reluctant to part with your family, it's not too late to get off now," Tianquan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Upon hearing this, Yuheng first looked at Tianquan, then at the others, and whispered, "If I were to say that I am reluctant to leave, but I don't feel sad at all, would you all think I'm selfish and heartless?"

Upon hearing her words, Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, and Tian Quan exchanged glances instinctively.

“How could that be? I was in the same boat as you back then,” Tian Shu said first.

“Me too,” the other three echoed in turn.

Today, Hong Xiaoduo said she wasn't fully awake, so she went to sleep in Feiyan's carriage.

Yao Guang didn't join the others because she wanted to spend more time with her parents.

Quan Jinghuai did not ride in a carriage, but on horseback.

At this moment, there were only the five children and Feiyan in the carriage. Feiyan didn't even have a chance to say anything to comfort Yuheng.

After the four brothers, who had similar experiences to Yuheng, shared their feelings, Yuheng immediately relaxed.

It turns out it wasn't just her problem; everyone was like this!

"Don't overthink it. The reason you guys are like this is very simple: you're all worried that she might leave and you might never see her again."

Therefore, everyone wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. Fei Yan spoke up.

Although Hong Xiaoduo's departure was not explicitly mentioned to everyone again, everyone had a vague idea in their hearts.

Especially her recent emotional changes, the way she looks at them when she sits alone in silence.

During her stay at the Prince's Mansion, Fei Yan had thought a lot. Now that Hong Xiaoduo was not in the carriage, Yu Heng's topic prompted Fei Yan to speak up, bringing to the forefront the matter that everyone dared not mention but was worried about in their hearts.

Inside the carriage, Fei Yan's words suddenly made the atmosphere very oppressive, and Yu Heng's eyes immediately reddened.

The boys from Tian Shu all slumped their shoulders.

“You all call me sister, so today I’ll play the bad guy. I know that saying this out loud will make everyone sad, but it’s not something that can be avoided by not saying it, or that can change anything.”

Although you are young, you are all very intelligent. You should know that the things your master sometimes says to you when he is drunk are just a prelude to prepare you mentally.

Among our family, I was the last to join and the first to meet her, so you should know Xiaoduo's character better than I do.

If she had no other choice, how could she bear to leave us, right?

So stop thinking about how to keep her from leaving.

She has done more than enough for us, and I don’t want to be separated from her, but what can we do? Just because we are reluctant to part with her, should we ask her to stay for us?
Wouldn't that be too selfish of us? Wouldn't that make her feel even worse and put her in a more difficult position?

The reason I'm bringing this up now is to say that, from now on, let's not worry about whether she leaves, when she leaves, or whether we really can't see each other again after she leaves.

"Let's cherish every day we can spend with her, okay?" Fei Yan choked up as she said this, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

All five children shed tears, and Tianquan and Yuheng couldn't help but sob.

"Okay." Tian Shu wiped the tears from his cheeks with his sleeve, looked at Fei Yan, and replied with great determination.

The other four children pursed their lips tightly and nodded vigorously.

"Although Yaoguang is sensible, she is the youngest. I'm afraid that if I talk to her about it, she won't be able to control her emotions. So, let's not talk to her about these things for now," Feiyan added.

Quan Jinghuai, who was riding right next to the carriage, listened to the conversation inside. His eyes welled up with tears. He turned his head to look at the carriage that Xiao Hui was pulling behind him, and then immediately turned back to look ahead.

Feiyan is a woman, and her disciples are all young but sensible and know how to behave. As their master, she naturally cannot be any less capable than them!
At this moment, one of the prince consort's attendants rode away at full speed.

It was the Imperial Son-in-Law Yu Rui who ordered us to return to Luohua Prefecture first, to greet the officials in charge of building the dikes there, just in case we met Miss Hong and she said something inappropriate...
