After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 200
Chapter 200
(69.3)
Zhao Zhi couldn’t help his obsession for cleanliness and ordered people to bring in a basin of warm water and used a towel to wipe her ink-stained face clean. He wasn’t sure why, but he just felt that this little girl’s face looked very pleasant.
If her parents didn’t want her anymore, it was not impossible for him to take her back to the capital and then leave her to the servants to be raised.
Someone knocked on the door outside the house, “Gongzi, the child’s mother has come.”
Zhao Zhi’s plans failed through, but he didn’t feel many emotions. He handed the sleeping little girl to his entourage, “Take her over there.”
“Yes.”
After Zhao Zhi sent the child out, he found out that the silver bracelet on her wrist had fallen to the ground, he picked up the bracelet, and asked the servant as he walked out: “Are they gone?”
The meaning of a silver bracelet was to drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, her mother would be very anxious if she lost it.
“Gongzi, they are still in the front yard.”
“You deliver this silver bracelet back to them.” As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhi changed his mind, “Never mind, I’ll go myself.”
Zhao Zhi hurriedly walked to the side hall in the front yard. Ming Zhu was holding her daughter and was about to leave. She had been busy all night, so her black hair was a little messy, her face was small and white, and her face looked a little haggard. It was a spring day, she was wearing thin clothes, and the evening breeze was blowing through her thin dress and wide sleeves.
Zhao Zhi looked at the woman’s side profile, frozen and motionless.

It was just the beginning of spring, and the nights were cold. The oncoming wind was bone-piercing cold.
Ming Zhu asked the maid for a cloak to borrow, wrapped her daughter tightly in it, and hugged her in her arms, before bringing her back home.
The little girl was sleeping soundly, her face was flushed, and her body exuded a sweet smell.
Ming Zhu gently put her on the bed, carefully examined her body, and when she found no obvious wound, she was completely relieved.
Ming Zhu had been sweating all over her, and the underwear she was wearing under her clothes were completely soaked with sweat and clinging to her skin, which suddenly made her feel chilly. When she turned around and saw Hong Ling, who did not dare to step forward, she sighed in her heart, unable to say harsh words to her, “Next time, you absolutely must not be so careless.”
Hong Ling was almost scared to death during the day, and now she wanted to cry whenever she thought about it. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, her face was red, and she was very ashamed, “I will never dare to take her out alone in the future.”
“You’ve been tired for a day, sit down and rest for a while.”
Hong Ling obediently listened to her words and sat on the soft couch, while rubbing her stiff and sore thighs.
Ming Zhu went to change into clean clothes and combed her long hair into a high bun with a wooden hairpin. She then took the food that had already turned cold on the dinner table to the kitchen to reheat it.
It was a pity that the taste of the chicken soup was no longer good after being reheated. Ming Zhu put the hot food on the table, “Hong Ling, come and eat.”
Hong Ling’s face was lowered, and she said in a low voice, “Alright.”
She walked small steps towards Ming Zhu and sat down, still unable to overcome what had happened in her heart for a while. She was too ashamed to raise her head, and her stomach was gurgling with hunger.
Ming Zhu filled a bowl of soup for her and pushed it in front of her, “Drink the soup to open your appetite.”
The bowl contained the chicken drumstick she liked so much.
Hong Ling raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, with a little too much force, so her already red eyes turned even redder. She said thank you and drank the soup silently.
Ming Zhu herself was not very hungry, after experiencing great sadness and great joy, she was too tired, and she really couldn’t feel any appetite, but she still ate some food to accompany Hong Ling.
After dinner, Hong Ling took the initiative to wash the dishes. The hour was not early anymore, and after doing her chores, she should have gone to sleep, but in the end, she couldn’t get through the obstacle in her heart, and she went to knock on Ming Zhu’s door, saying sorry to her with red eyes, “Zhu Zhu, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I know.” Ming Zhu also felt sad to see her like this.
Hong Ling lifted her pair of red eyes and said pitifully: “Can you not be angry with me?”
Ming Zhu was stunned, and then she smiled, “I’m no longer angry now.”
At first, when she heard that she had lost the child, she was indeed angry and anxious, and then she was busy looking for the child and no longer was focused on her anger. She was also at fault in this matter, when Xiaoman asked her to hug her in the afternoon, she should have made room to hug her.
Hong Ling calmed down a little, “It’s good if you’re not angry with me.”
She was afraid that Ming Zhu would be angry with her and no longer want her by her side.
“Quickly go back to your room and go to bed.”
“Mmh, Zhu Zhu, you go to bed early too. ”
