Chapter 220 Discovering clues

"Master, something bad has happened! The princess is here!"

The servant stumbled over to the old couple and pointed with trembling hands at the door behind them.

When the old couple heard that the eldest princess was coming, their faces turned pale instantly. It was obvious that they were very afraid of the eldest princess.

"She... why is she here! Is she going to target my son again? Master, what do you say we should do?"

The old lady was so anxious that she turned around on the spot and did not dare to send anyone to close the door of the house.

After all, they have personally experienced the power of the eldest princess. If they really make her unhappy, they might even have their Duke's Mansion demolished!
And they knew that they were not favored by the emperor, so they had been acting much more low-key in recent years. They never expected that just two years after they had been quiet, he would come to them again.

Not only the old lady was confused, but even the old man was confused.

only…

The old man was relatively calm. For some reason, he always felt that the eldest princess's visit must be related to this little girl.

"Well, you take them to hide in the front hall first, and I will go to meet the princess!"

The old man waved his hand and left the yard confidently with his servants.

Jiang Yunjin followed the old lady with a confused look on his face and hid in the main hall.

After the others came in, she finally realized why she followed them.
Why didn't you run just now?
A moment of hesitation made her miss the best opportunity to escape.

but…

She wasn't worried at all.

If she wanted to run, no one could stop her. The reason she didn't run was that she wanted to see what this family in front of her was trying to do. At the same time, she also felt pity for the little princess.

Even though her mother is the eldest princess, her father is still a psychopath!

Unlike her! Both her parents are normal!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunjin felt that her waist became even straighter.

She looked up at the former prince consort and the old lady. They were looking at the door anxiously, and no one was willing to pay attention to her.

The fact that no one was paying attention to her gave her the freedom to move around, so she just walked around with her hands behind her back.

After taking a closer look, she was dumbfounded.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse! The Duke's Mansion has been law-abiding for so many years, and the house is still magnificent. It is obvious that he is also good at making money.

Jiang Yunjin felt jealous as she watched. After a while, she saw the mother and son were still guarding the door, looking outside pitifully, and a voice seemed to be coming from outside the door.

She was alerted and simply moved forward, squatted down, and listened carefully to the sounds outside. She could tell that the eldest princess and Xiao Yuanshan were coming.

Don’t you go out when the emperor comes?

Jiang Yunjin stood up and took a step back, looking at the two people in front of him suspiciously, as if he didn't know whether they didn't understand or were just pretending? Wouldn't they go out when the emperor came?
After thinking for a while, she walked forward quickly, and before the two men noticed her movements, she quickly opened the door a little and slipped out in an instant.

"Princess! I'm here!"

Jiang Yunjin came out, shouting as she ran, her voice sounding a bit tearful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The eldest princess was just about to roll up her sleeves and lead people to search the mansion herself, but unexpectedly she heard a familiar little girl's voice. When she raised her eyes, she saw the little figure running towards her.

"Little Yunjin!"

Xiao Yuanshan exclaimed.

The old man just happened to look up and saw the little girl running towards him. His old face turned even paler in an instant.

"Are you really here for this little girl?"

The old man looked puzzled. This was not his own granddaughter, nor a member of the royal family. Why should the emperor and the eldest princess be angry?
He couldn't understand this! When the princess hosted the banquet, he took his wife to take a look secretly.

Of course he knew what his granddaughter looked like.

In the current situation, the old man had no time to think and could only kneel down tremblingly and beg the emperor for mercy.

Jiang Yunjin was led away from here by the eldest princess. As for what happened next, she had no idea for the time being. She only saw that the door of the main hall, which had been closed, was being opened from the inside, and two figures were stumbling out.

When she returned to the Princess's Mansion, she learned that the Queen Mother had been staying in the mansion the whole time, and she was secretly relieved when she saw them come back.

This scene happened to be seen by Jiang Yunjin, but she did not see the little princess.

She was not seeing anyone, and she became more and more curious. Where did the person go? If the little princess was sick, I am afraid that the eldest princess would not be in the mood to entertain guests. Today...

It seemed as if he felt particularly sorry for her.

A thought vaguely arose in her mind, a thought she dared not think about.

Thinking of this, she turned and walked up to the maidservant beside the eldest princess and whispered something to her. The maid bowed and turned away.

After a while, the other party came back with some rice paper and a fire stick.

Jiang Yunjin reached out to take the thing, then walked to a stone table and started painting hard.

The mother and daughter who were talking over there were attracted by the little girl's behavior, and no one noticed the Queen Mother's slightly excited expression.

After seeing what the former prince consort looked like today, Jiang Yunjin realized that she had drawn it wrong!

When the portrait of the little princess was painted, only the eldest princess was seen, and the former prince consort was not seen. At that time, the former prince consort was still a taboo title.

Now, after seeing her former prince consort, she realized that the portrait she had painted with such confidence was wrong!

She overturned the original portrait she had drawn and combined the bone structure of the two people to draw what the child looked like.

After finishing the painting, Jiang Yunjin found that the baby's face on the paper looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she realized that she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

She had seen this scene when she had just come here and inherited the original owner's memory.

She remembered that the original owner was abandoned by a woman in the deep mountains and forests, and the baby's crying gradually became weaker until it was almost impossible to make a sound.

Just when the baby was about to stop moving, a woman suddenly came out from deep in the woods and found the baby lying on the ground.

And she also saw the baby being held by the woman, and it looked exactly the same as the baby in her hands!

After thinking about it, she drew the appearance of the swaddling clothes that she had seen at that time, and also drew the patterns on the swaddling clothes.

The final touches are completed.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from behind.

"Xiao Yunjin, who is this person you drew? Why does he look so familiar?"

Xiao Yuanshan walked out from behind Jiang Yunjin, staring straight at the rice paper on the stone table. Especially when he saw the figures on the rice paper, he was so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

Finally, he discovered something strange.

"Hey, Xiao Yunjin, why did you draw two identical portraits? Whose daughter is missing? I haven't heard of any girl missing recently!"

Xiao Yuanshan looked confused, thought about it and shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know whose child was missing.

Unexpectedly, the noise outside startled the mother and daughter in the house. When they came out, their eyes were red.
