Chapter 195

Cheng Xin didn't expect that the young master, who has always been pampered, would even drive ox carts, and it was still very stable.

The two of them rode in a ox cart and drove for most of the day, stopping in a village for the night.

Qin Shu has a very good appearance. Even if he deliberately makes the dust a little embarrassed, he still can't hide his handsomeness, which makes the girls in the village blush. A few bold people even want to come to Qin Shu and joke.

Cheng Xin also received many envious or jealous eyes.

There was a lonely peasant woman in the village. She heard that the two of them were here to stay and took them in enthusiastically.

"In our village, there are often scholars who come to Beijing to take the exam, and the caravans have to stay. When there are too many people, the village chief will lend them a ancestral temple for them to live in. If there are too few people, any family in the village can live in."

The people in this village are very hospitable, and Qin Shu bowed and thanked.

The peasant woman smiled when she saw this: "You two must have been from wealthy families in the past."

Cheng Xin glanced at Qin Shu: "Auntie, what do you think? Is it just because he looks better?"

"Haha, because although the two of you are wearing common clothes, your every move is different from that of ordinary farmers. Just now, the two of you deliberately avoided the chicken shit in the yard. You should know which one of the farmers' children is born.

Cheng Xin laughed: "Auntie, can't we love cleanliness?"

"Don't mind girl, the aunt just said casually and didn't want to explore your identity."

Qin Shu said: "The aunt was joking. We were indeed not born in a farmhouse. We dressed like this just for convenience."

The peasant woman nodded and led the two into the room: "Although I live alone, this room is often cleaned, so let's spend the night here tonight."

The peasant woman prepared some hot water and food for them. Cheng Xin held a hot sweet potato and ate it and said, "Auntie, you were also from the capital before?"

The peasant woman was slightly stunned and said, "Where are the girl saying this?"

"I see that although the layout of your room is simple, it is very distinctive, especially the decoration of the vase and dressing table is the style of the women's boudoir in Beijing."

The peasant woman chuckled: "To be honest, the old woman used to be a palace maid who entered the imperial city and served noble people."

"So that's it. Can I see your piano?" Cheng Xin glanced at an object covered with cloth in a corner of the room, guessing that it was a piano.

The peasant woman seemed very happy: "A few people have lived in my room for so many years, but no one has noticed this piano."

She walked over, lifted the covered cloth and said, "This is the reward from the nobles who served back then."

Qin Shu glanced at it and said in surprise: "If I read it correctly, this was a famous piano in the palace called "Qingcheng."

"Young Master is really a good experience."

"Auntie, this is a famous piano. Are you not afraid that we are bad guys and stole your piano?" Cheng Xin said.

The peasant woman smiled: "The old woman believes in her own eyes. The young master and the girl are good people."

"The aunt is so ridiculous." Cheng Xin said.

Qin Shu was silent for a moment: "I remember that Prince Ruicheng was found to send the princess to the princess, but now he is with you. Could it be that you served Princess Ruicheng back then?"

"It is hard for people of your age to know about the Crown Princess." The peasant woman nodded: "The old woman is named Yueshuang, and she was once the first-class maid next to the Crown Princess."

Cheng Xin was shocked, and he didn't expect that they would meet the old man of Crown Princess Ruicheng here.

"Then why are you here? Didn't the people who severed in the palace get a generous amount of severance silver?"

"I got a lot of money. After the Crown Princess passed away, the Zhou family and the old lady were heartbroken and left the capital. I served the Crown Princess since I was a child. Without the Zhou family, the old woman had nowhere to go, so she returned to her birthplace. After marrying and having a son, it was a pity that her husband died of illness. Now my son has married and opened a small noodle shop in the capital. The old woman does not want to enter Beijing again, so she stays here alone."

"Auntie, since you have served Princess Ruicheng, I have some doubts. I wonder if you can answer it?"

Yueshuang looked at them hesitantly: "I don't know, you two are..."

"In Xia Qin Shu, the son of Duke Anguo. This is my wife and the daughter of King Jingping." Qin Shu confessed.

Yue Shuang was a little excited: "It turned out to be the young master and the princess! I am really rude."

He was about to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Cheng Xin.

"Auntie, you are no longer a slave in the capital, and you no longer need to call yourself a slave."

Yue Shuang looked at Cheng Xin and Qin Shu again and said, "No wonder she felt familiar when she saw them. She didn't expect that they were the children of the Duke's wife and Princess Jingping. Back then, our princess often invited her mothers to have tea together, and the old woman was lucky enough to serve her several times.

When the Crown Princess was about to give birth, it was the first time that their mothers met and were frightened..."

Cheng Xin also heard a lot about the rumors about Crown Princess Ruicheng, the Princess, and the Prime Minister's wife back then. Unexpectedly, their relationship was so close that even the Crown Princess was with her when she was about to give birth.

"That child looks so good, and is also very good to us old men in the palace. Look at the good things in my house, they were all delivered by him when he came."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xin and Qin Shu paused, and both of them were confused.

Cheng Xin asked, "Auntie, which child are you talking about?"

"Little Prince Grandson-" Yue Shuang suddenly realized what she said and panicked: "I don't know anything, I don't know anything."

Cheng Xin whispered to comfort: "Auntie, don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

"You mean the little prince is still alive, have you seen him?" After Qin Shu said that, Yue Shuang suddenly stood up and went out.

The two followed him out, watched Yueshuang enter the kitchen, brought a bowl of chicken soup, and said, "I almost forgot that today, the two nobles came and had nothing to entertain, so they slaughtered a chicken, and they both drank some soup."

"Auntie, little princess..."

Yue Shuang suddenly raised her finger on her mouth: "The little emperor has been dead for many years, and I hope the two nobles will not mention it again, Amitabha."

Next, no matter how Cheng Xin and Qin Shu asked, Yue Shuang seemed to not remember what she said and determined that the little prince grandson had died.

But the more she did this, the more confident Cheng Xin and Qin Shu were, there was a lot of things about the death of the Crown Princess and the death of the young princess.

The next day, Cheng Xin and Qin Shu, who could not know more about Yueshuang, said goodbye and left.

Yue Shuang stood at the head of the village, watching the two of them leave, and finally couldn't help crying and murmured: "Miss, little master, I can only do so much for you."

Cheng Xin sat on the bumpy ox cart, glanced back at the shadows that were gradually getting smaller at the village entrance, and said, "I'm afraid that from the beginning, Yueshuang recognized us both. She was deliberately saying those words in front of us."

If the little emperor's grandson is really alive, then where is he now? What happened in the palace that night?
