Chapter 522 Clearly, the Prince of Zhenbei isn't stupid.
Raindrops are still well-behaved. They are happy when someone plays with them, but when no one plays with them, they find their own fun.
It's warmer in the south than in the north, and even though it's early winter, it's not too cold.
But babies are prone to catching a cold when lying down, so as usual, they are covered with a thin blanket and not dressed in many layers.
So, despite its small size, it's quite agile, and right now it's nibbling on its chubby little feet.
Lin Chang'er poked his toes. "Oh, you want to eat meat now?"
As soon as Raindrop heard her aunt's voice, she immediately started giggling, but she still couldn't bear to let go of her feet.
Lin Chang'er gently pulled her toes out of his little hands. "Can you not eat my toes? When Yudian grows up a bit, Auntie will make lots and lots of delicious food for Yudian."
As she spoke, she put the baby's feet down and gently pressed them for a while.
Then he took the rattle drum and fiddled with it for a while.
Raindrop's eyes, like black grapes, followed the turning of the rattle drum.
With someone to play with, the little guy finally forgot about chewing his toes for a while.
Wu Qingfeng was always refined when eating, but he didn't follow the rule of not speaking while eating or sleeping.
After hearing Lin Chang'er's words, he asked, "How much longer will it be before Raindrop can eat other things?"
Lin Chang'er was taken aback. In her previous life, she had read many miscellaneous books and learned a lot, but she really had no experience in raising children.
He shook his head honestly, "Lord Wu, you've really stumped me. I've never raised a child before! How could I possibly know such detailed information?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled as he looked at her expression, which seemed to be saying, "This is really troubling me." His impression of Lin Chang'er had always been that she could talk about astronomy and geography.
It's strange, there are things she doesn't understand. But she's right, she's never raised a child, how would she know?
child?
He felt a strange stirring in his heart, but quickly suppressed it.
They are only engaged and have not yet announced it to the public.
They don't know how long they'll have to wait to raise their own children.
However, she is still young, so waiting a few more years will be just right.
Having made up his mind, Wu Qingfeng replied to her, "This is indeed my fault. I will trouble Miss Lin to ask an experienced woman for advice. I should also start preparing as soon as possible."
Lin Chang'er burst out laughing. Occasionally being mischievous can be considered a form of humor.
However, Wu Qingfeng said he was going to prepare food for Yudian!
Lin Chang'er immediately grasped Yudian'er's little hand, "Did you hear that? Our Lord Wu is going to prepare food for Yudian! Yudian, quickly say thank you to Lord Wu!"
Of course, the raindrops wouldn't say thank you, but they did cooperate by making two "ya ya" sounds. You could say they were saying thank you, or you could say "I know."
After playing with the child, the two changed the subject back to Mrs. Wu.
However, the raindrops were so eager to participate that they stretched out their arms, determined to join in.
Lin Chang'er then took the baby out of the stroller and wrapped him in a thin blanket.
When Wu Qingfeng saw him come out, he reached out and poked his chin.
Raindrops would laugh at the slightest provocation, and perhaps out of shyness, she would hide in her aunt's arms.
Lin Chang'er patted him on the shoulder and continued talking to Wu Qingfeng, "You sent someone to follow Cai Jiaojiao, right?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "The people were all waiting outside the post station early on. As soon as they came out of the post station, they followed."
Lin Chang'er nodded. "We should start making preparations for Aunt's side as well."
Wu Qingfeng's originally bright eyes suddenly froze, as if he hesitated.
Lin Chang'er asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wu Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Chang'er, do you really want to help me?"
Lin Chang'er laughed, "No way, Lord Wu, it's come to this and you're only now trying to kick me off the ship?"
Wu Qingfeng's expression softened a bit. "Chang'er, actually I..."
He wanted to say he was a little scared; it was a strange feeling.
He had faced countless life-or-death situations alongside his uncle on the northern battlefield, but he had never been afraid.
When I first arrived in Ninghai County, I did encounter some dangers.
But now, he suddenly feels afraid.
What are you afraid of?
I was afraid of implicating her.
Yes, he is no longer the ignorant and fearless boy he once was; he has developed a weakness.
This is also why he was willing to get engaged first and not announce it to the public.
By not making things public, even if something really happens to him one day, it won't implicate her.
But once she is identified as Wu Qingfeng's wife, she can't escape responsibility if he gets into trouble.
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips and looked at him, "What's wrong? Are you afraid something might happen?"
He shook his head. "This matter is indeed difficult, but not impossible. The saying 'Man proposes, God disposes' is false. Man can conquer nature" is true.
"I am confident as long as my aunt is willing to cooperate."
Wu Qingfeng swallowed back the words that were stuck in his throat. He nodded and said, "I believe you. However, I've thought about it more recently. Whether it's for a funeral or to visit someone in the hospital, the higher-ups won't let my aunt leave the capital. She may still have to fake her death."
Lin Chang'er wasn't surprised. "Didn't we already have a plan for this?"
After a pause, she asked him again, "But, have you been able to contact your uncle?"
Whether it's attending a funeral or visiting someone in the hospital, Wu Qingfeng's uncle's approval is not required.
But faking death is different.
Although the person mentioned above had been suppressing the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, after experiencing the difficult childbirth, he didn't dare to really kill his aunt.
The sudden death of the Princess Consort of Zhenbei in the capital could lead to the Zhenbei Army going out of control, something the higher-ups certainly wouldn't want to see.
To put it bluntly, that guy is both cowardly and incompetent, but also loves to flirt.
If you want to take back military power, do it openly and honestly, and people will respect you as a man. But if you do it secretly...
He didn't say he wanted it, yet he was wary of others.
He wants people to work hard for him, but secretly he also suppresses and obstructs them in various ways.
Isn't that crazy?
Only someone with a screw loose would be willing to risk their life for him without complaint.
But it's obvious that the Prince of Zhenbei isn't stupid!
For many years, the couple lived apart.
Princess Zhenbei finally gave birth at an advanced age, only to have her child lost.
It's impossible for the Prince of Zhenbei not to be angry.
This is clearly a case of not being able to openly suppress someone, so they're subtly trying to make them die out of line, isn't it?
Not to mention that the Prince of Zhenbei felt sorry for his wife and children, and hated the one in the high position.
Even Wu Qingfeng was holding a grudge!
Leaving aside them, even Lin Chang'er, an ordinary citizen who had no dealings with that person, felt indignant upon hearing this!
If it were someone else, demanding an explanation regardless of who they were talking to, and then sending them back to the capital if they weren't given one, wouldn't be unreasonable.
To be honest, the Prince of Zhenbei did consider returning to the capital to seek justice, but the innocent people were pitiful.
My aunt didn't want her husband, who had spent his life on the battlefield and guarded the border for half his life, to be accused of treason in a moment of anger. She immediately wrote a letter to comfort my uncle, which put an end to his idea of raising an army...
