The next morning, a warm sunlight shone in the house, and Luo Lan opened her eyes lazy.

It was already a little cold around him. It seemed that Leng Yu had been away for a long time. Today is the day to go to court. Every month during the court order, he would go out early.

As soon as Luo Lan got up, A Cai came to knock on the door.

"Princess, have you gotten up? The wash water is ready, I'm in."

A Cai could always find out when she woke up, or she was listening to her movements at the door. I guess she could hear it even if she turned over.

"Come in."

She shouted at the door, stretched and got up from the bed.

After A Cai came in, he started talking.

"Princess, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan have been waiting for you outside for a long time, saying that the prince has an order and they will obey your command these days."

"Well, did An An cry last night?"

"I just went to see it. Both young masters and ladies slept well. The wet nurses rubbed their stomachs before going to bed as you said."

Luo Lan took the wet wipe handed over by A Cai, and nodded while wiping her face.

"That's good, just wait until An An and Lele grow to the size of Huaiyu."

"By the way, Princess, General Liu came early in the morning. He came to see Lele specifically. He said that when Lele grows up, he will take Lele to the Duke's Mansion and teach Lele's kung fu."

Hearing this, Luo Lan shook her head helplessly.

"Dad is just too straightforward. If you like Lele, you don't have to show it so obviously. I have to talk about him when I look back."

As A Cai combs her hair, she chuckled:

"It's okay, they're still young and won't be angry."

"But sooner or later they will grow up, and in their hearts, they will not understand why their grandfather will treat him differently."

A Cai nodded in a slight understanding, "Your words make sense. By the way, breakfast is ready. I will bring you there. The prince specially ordered me to cook the braised eggs for you, saying that you like to eat them."

When talking about braised eggs, Luo Lan suddenly thought of what happened last night. Does this guy need to hint her so blatantly?

Thinking of this, she blushed and nodded, "Well, the prince is right, go and prepare."

She didn't want to explain too much about her likes 'raised eggs', which was really 'unspeakable'.

After dinner, Luo Lan called Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and several guards to the front and said with a serious expression:

"After a while, we will take the four directions of southeast, west and north. Xiao Lingzi will lead two people to the east, Zhang Yuan will lead two people to the west, I will take A Cai and A Hong to the south, you will lead two people to the north, let's go together

I visited the villages and towns near Minghua County and found the homes of several women who were divorced by the rich man Li's house. At noon, I met in Lijiazhuang."

Hearing this, Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and the guards clasped their fists and said:

"I understand, I will go now."

After saying that, the people were divided into four groups, Luo Lan and A Cai were traveling in a carriage, Xiao Lingzi, Zhang Yuan and others rode horses and headed straight for Minghua County.

They also looked for people in four directions with Minghua County as the center point.

The carriage that Luo Lan and the other two rode in came to a village three miles away from Minghua County. She asked the groom to wait at the entrance of the village, and she took A Cai and A Hong to walk into the village.

They saw several old women sitting there chatting under a big tree. Luo Lan leaned over and asked:

"Auntie, are you chatting here without any worries?"

The aunts nodded enthusiastically and replied:

"Yes, where is the girl from? Are you here to visit our relatives or friends?"

"Auntie, I don't visit relatives or friends. I want to ask if there are any girls in our village who have married Li Caizhu's family in Lijiazhuang?"

As soon as she asked, the old women looked at each other and shook their heads directly, and some of them said:

"It's almost noon, I have to go home to cook."

The other old women also followed and agreed, "Let's go, let's go, go home and cook."

"Several aunts..."

Luo Lan wanted to ask a few more questions, but they had already walked away.

Looking at the backs of these people, A Cai said with anger on his hips:

"Who is there? No politeness at all."

Ah Hong said calmly:

"Princess, why do I feel a little strange? I greeted them, they were quite enthusiastic, but when they mentioned the rich man Li to them, they left with the excuse."

Luo Lan nodded in confusion with her eyes. She raised her eyes, looked at the curling smoke coming out of the chimney of a house not far away, and said softly:

"Let's go, go there and ask."

Yan Luo, she walked in front, A Cai and A Hong followed closely behind.

They came to a ragged farmhouse. In the yard, an old woman was chopping wood. Judging from her gray hair, she should be fifty or sixty years old.

"aunt……"

Luo Lan called out, the old woman turned around, put her palm on her forehead and looked at the door. When she saw Luo Lan, she put down the axe in her hand and asked at the door:

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Luo Lan looked at the old lady's deep eyes and said softly:

"We pass by, can we go in and ask for a drink?"

When the old lady saw that it was three women, she nodded directly, "Please come in, there is no other thing at home, there is still water."

As the aunt spoke, she welcomed the three of them into the yard.

Sitting at the shabby low table and watching the aunt lie on the stove to make fire and boil water. A Cai wanted to stop her, Luo Lan waved her hand and shook her head.

A Cai pursed her lips, swallowed her saliva secretly, and said in a low voice:

"Princess, look at how dirty the edge of her pot is. It seems that she hasn't used it for many years."

Luo Lan chuckled without mind, "Since you are here to ask for water, how can you dislike the dirty water? We should be grateful if they can let us in."

Ah Hong also blamed him:

"The princess didn't say anything, but you think she was dirty, are you embarrassed?"

A Cai blushed and lowered her head in shame.

After a while, the aunt came over with a steaming kettle. She picked up several enamel jars on the table and poured water and said to herself:

"There is no tea at home, so the girls will just drink it."

Luo Lan hurriedly took the water cup over and said repeatedly:

"Thank you, auntie, please sit down!"

The aunt pushed two glasses of water to A Cai and A Hong, then sat down, muttering resentfully,

"Since my Dani left, my house has become much deserted. I am happy that you can come here to ask for water."

Looking at the aunt's empty eyes, Luo Lan pursed her lips and persuaded her softly:

"Auntie, who is Dani? Where did she go? Are you the only one in your family?"

The aunt nodded with her hands rubbing her hands.

"Um……"

After nodding, she quickly shook her head, "My family is not me alone, and I, Dani, she is my granddaughter. I just don't know where she has gone, and I can't find it even if I look for it!"
