Chapter 1358: Bringing Tao Tao to See Uncle Pavilion Master
Although Pavilion Master Qian had a scholarly complexion, his temperament was somewhat cold and indifferent. Although he tried hard to appear friendly and able to get along well with children, he still looked a little strange overall.
Fortunately, Taotao was a smart kid. She realized that this strange uncle had no ill will towards her, so she had a good chat with him and told him about her happy daily life in the Night King's Palace.
Pavilion Master Qian listened attentively and with great piety, and at one point he even showed tears of gratitude.
Yun Mujiu quietly complained to Ye Xiaohan: "If you don't know, you would think Taotao is his child."
Ye Xiaohan shook his head and answered seriously, "Probably not. Pavilion Master Qian has never had a family, and I've never heard of him having children." After a pause, he added, "They don't look like father and daughter in any way."
Yun Mujiu hummed, then added, "I guess Azhen means a lot to Pavilion Master Qian, so Pavilion Master Qian is also very concerned about Azhen's child." He then playfully added, "Pavilion Master Qian, he wouldn't be the kind of person who can't get the love he wants!"
Ye Xiaohan smiled dotingly at Yun Mujiu: "Maybe it is true. But the truth will only be known when someone from the East comes."
Yun Mujiu was immersed in Ye Xiaohan's handsome face, and with a silly smile, he said jokingly, "Then I'm waiting! I will definitely share the gossip with the prince when the time comes!"
Ye Xiaohan raised the corner of his lips, "Okay."
Pavilion Master Qian took Taotao to play with some gadgets prepared by Yun Mujiu for a while. In the process of getting along with Taotao, he also got a deeper understanding of this child.
However, facing this little girl who knew nothing, he did not reveal any other information, not even his true identity.
Today he is just an older playmate of the little girl.
Taotao played for a while, had some snacks, and finally went back with Suixi and his group.
Pavilion Master Qian was still a little reluctant to leave until he saw Taotao leave completely surrounded by Yun Mujiu's four personal maids.
Tao Tao was no longer there. Ye Xiaohan asked, "What do you think, Pavilion Master Qian?"
Pavilion Master Qian pondered and said, "When I first met this child, I inexplicably felt very close and familiar. And when Princess Riye showed me Taotao's portrait, I thought Taotao looked a bit like Ah Zhen. Now that I see her in person, the resemblance is even stronger. Just like that lively, cheerful, and quirky personality, she is also very similar to Ah Zhen."
Ye Xiaohan added: "We'll talk about the details after her family comes over."
Pavilion Master Qian suggested that they send some assassins from the Soul Stealer to the Night Palace. Ye Xiaohan responded with an indifferent look: "No need."
Yun Mujiu said bluntly, "Pavilion Master Qian, there's no need to bother. Our Yewang Mansion is very safe; not even a fly can escape." He smiled and added, "Taotao has been living in the mansion before, and it was also safe, wasn't it?"
Pavilion Master Qian gave a bitter smile and finally said, "If you need help, just let me know."
Yun Mujiu nodded and said, "Even if Taotao can't find her family, the prince and I will protect her for the rest of her life. And we respect Taotao's thoughts and opinions. If she wants to go home, we will fully support her." If she doesn't want to, they will keep Taotao.
Yun Mujiu also mentioned Tao Tao's family, hinting that they needed to understand what Tao Tao's family background was like. Otherwise, they didn't know what the other party was like, so how could they dare to hand the child over to them?
Pavilion Master Qian thought for a moment and said carefully, "With Ah Zhen here, I will definitely protect her. Moreover, with me, the Pavilion Master of Soul-Snatching Yuanxi, there is no one in the world who can harm Tao Tao."
Yun Mujiu put down the teacup. "Safety is assured, but what about love? Will the home she returns to be a happy one? Will it be happier and more comfortable than here in the Night Palace?"
Pavilion Master Qian paused, a trace of confusion on his face, but soon relaxed his brows and said, "Azhen misses her child very much and will definitely do her best to treat Taotao well."
Yun Mujiu uttered an "Oh" and said calmly, "I hope so. I just hope Taotao can be happy."
At this time, it was Ye Xiaohan's turn to ask questions. He followed up on Yun Mujiu's previous question and asked, "Azhen is her nickname, right? What is her identity?"
Pavilion Master Qian paused again, immediately picked up the white jade teacup in front of him, lowered his head and took a sip.
Ye Xiaohan continued, "She must have an extraordinary background, and it will be difficult to reveal information about her and her family to the outside world."
Pavilion Master Qian looked up and nodded slowly. It was hard for him to deny Ye Xiaohan's inference.
Ye Xiaohan turned around and looked at Yun Mujiu, and the two of them tacitly changed the subject. Anyway, they had already guessed in their hearts the family power behind Taotao, Azhen, and Azhen.
The people who could afford such generous rewards and offer a bounty to the entire world must be from one of the top aristocratic families in the Eastern Empire. To put it even more exaggeratedly, perhaps Ah Zhen was even a member of the royal family!
Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu finished their questions and quickly left. Of course, there was another reason they didn't want to linger here: they especially didn't want to hear Pavilion Master Qian speak mysteriously like they had the last time they met, mentioning something about the "resurrection" of the aristocratic families of the Eastern Empire.
Pavilion Master Qian had no time to think about the inner thoughts of the Night King and his wife. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this well-matched couple leave, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Master, is it so hot today?" asked Special Envoy Duan.
"Get lost." Pavilion Master Qian was not so patient with his subordinates. Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were really smart. They had deduced a lot of clues about Ah Zhen so cleverly. They really should not be underestimated.
Tao Tao left the private room, but did not return to the Night Palace. Yun Mujiu thought that the weather was good today, and she and Ye Xiaohan were both free. She also happened to have taken Tao Tao to meet Pavilion Master Qian, so she planned to take Tao Tao out for some more shopping.
Duke Ju's grandson Xiaoyu met Taotao at the Yuexi Palace Banquet, and the two children quickly became friends.
Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were strolling along the path by the lake, while two children and a group of followers were playing behind them.
Suixi occasionally looked up and noticed the backs of the prince and princess, and behind them were two lively children. For a moment, they really looked like a family.
Suixi smiled, looking forward to the ever-increasing bustle of the Night Palace. As for his sister, Taotao? As long as Taotao was happy, that was all that mattered. Besides, he also hoped Taotao could return to her original home, and not be like him, living a life without parents and siblings at such a young age.
But he is very happy now, the Night King's Mansion is his home!
"Suixi, you're so cute when you smile foolishly." Fusang opened his big eyes with a playful look on his face.
Suixi's face instantly turned red, causing Fuso to burst out laughing.
The two children in front heard it and started laughing loudly, imitating the others.
Yun Mujiu, who was at the front, heard this and laughed, "These kids are so interesting." In her eyes, Suixi Fusang was also classified as a child.
Ye Xiaohan curled his lips and suddenly said, "We will have it too."
"What?" Yun Mujiu suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"You will know later." His Majesty the Night King raised his chin slightly and said in an enigmatic tone.
Yun Mujiu suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness. Could it be that Ye Xiaohan was hinting at something to her?
Then she thought again that she and Ye Xiaohan might have children in the future. Ahhh, stop... she didn't dare to think about it anymore!
Forgive her for being an innocent little girl!
