"Yummy." Perhaps the Divine-Spirit Fruit was too delicious, as Nalan Daier finally let her guard down
with a sweet smile hanging on her lips.
"Daier, its late, why are you still hanging around outside?"
"My brother is not in a good mood. I want to buy him some osmanthus cakes, but I couldnt find them."
Nalan Daier blinked as she answered.
Indeed, there was a famous shop selling osmanthus cake in Southern Street.Nalan Jing must be
extremely upset with the canceled engagement. Hence, Nalan Daier had snuck out to buy the dessert
that he liked most to cheer him up.
Feng Ruqing sighed as she recalled the moment she saw the gloomy look on her cousins face. It was a
pity that she did not know about the canceled engagement when she met him.
"Daier, let me take you there." Feng Ruqing got up and held Nalan Daier hands as she smiled.
As the night grew darker, the generals manor sank into chaos. The old general jumped out of his bed
and led everyone in the generals manor in search of Nalan Daier.
Lady Nalan stood at the generals manors door, staring anxiously into the distance, gripping a scarf
tightly.
"General and Father had gone out for quite some time, have they found Daier?"
Nalan Daier was different from an ordinary kid. She started crawling only when she was one year old
and was unable to talk when she was two. Only at the age of three did she learn to walk on her own.
Moreover, she was weak and fragile. Hence, Lady Nalan had always been taking extra care of Nalan
Daier. If anything were to happen to Nalan Daier, how was Lady Nalan going to live her life?
Lady Nalan wiped off her tears and sighed softly.
Suddenly, a small silhouette came into sight, sending joy to her heart. However, when she saw the lady
walking next to Nalan Daier, her face darkened. She quickly rushed toward Nalan Daier, pulled her
hand out of Feng Ruqings grip and wrapped her tightly in her embrace.
Standing in a stupor, Lady Nalan was afraid that Feng Ruqing wold hurt Nalan Daier.
"Aunt, dont worry. I would not hurt Daier. She wanted to buy osmanthus cakes for Cousin but had lost
her way. So, I sent her home." Feng Ruqing knew what Lady Nalan was worried about and smiled NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
wryly.
Lady Nalan did not let her guard down as she still could not trust Feng Ruqing.
"Your Highness, thanks for helping Daier. We will not trouble you again in the future."
"Daier, never do this again. You have made me worried."
"Mommy, dont worry. Cousin will protect me." Nalan Daier buried her head in Lady Nalans bosom and
broke into a smile.
Feng Ruqing will protect Daier? Lady Nalan could not believe what she had just heard. She would
already be extremely grateful if Feng Ruqing did not hurt Nalan Daier.
"Aunt, I mean no harm. I am here today to check on grandfathers health condition," Feng Ruqing said
with a grave expression on her face. She did not say a word about her cousins canceled engagement
as she knew that it would only worsen the whole situation.
"Your Highness, dont you know what happen to my father? The Iron-Blooded Token was Empress
Nalans painstaking effort of a lifetime, and you have given it to Noble Consort Rong without a second
thought. My father was waiting outside your chamber for a few days, begging to meet you. However,
you did not even spare him a glance. His health has been declining day after day ever since."
