198 Unless One Could Pierce Through the Prince’s Heart, the Prince Would Dot Have Any Thoughts of Marriage

“I was worried that if I came back too late, it would make the empress dowager’s body feel even more unwell, so I rushed to send the hairpin back to the empress dowager.” As Rong Zhan spoke, he swept a glance at Nanny Bi Zhu.

Nanny bi Zhu did not dare to disobey. She quickly stepped forward and took the hairpin from Rong Zhan’s hands, hurriedly passing it to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager looked at the hairpin. She could not understand what was going on with Princess Qing Liu.

The hairpin was just a pretense. Where was Princess Qing Liu?

Why was there no movement at all?

The empress dowager looked at Rong Zhan. From the expression on his face, she could not see any flaws. She could only ask, “Zhan’er, when you went to get the hairpin this time, did you meet anyone?”

Rong Zhan’s expression was cold as he said, “The empress dowager had specially arranged it. Naturally, I met her.”

Seeing Rong Zhan’s expression, it was not difficult for the empress dowager to guess that all of her plans had been seen through by Rong Zhan. “Zhan’er, I am also doing this for your own good. Princess Qing Liu is a good child.”

“Empress dowager, I have already said before that I have no intentions of having children. I hope that the empress dowager does not need to worry about me in the future,” Rong Zhan said with a cold expression.

When the empress dowager saw Rong Zhan’s unyielding attitude, she immediately felt a bad feeling in her heart.

However, she could also see that Rong Zhan was really not interested in these matters of love.

If she kept forcing him, it would be meaningless.

“Alright then. Today is my fault. I only feel that a good child like you should have someone by your side to take care of him. Since you insist on not having such thoughts, then forget it. I will not interfere in this matter in the future.” The empress dowager said helplessly.

“Many thanks, empress dowager. Since the empress dowager’s body is fine, I will take my leave first.” Rong Zhan saw that the empress dowager had agreed and turned around to leave Fengkang Palace.

After Rong Zhan left, the empress dowager snorted with some grievance and said, “This prince regent really wasted my painstaking efforts.”

Nanny Bi Zhu advised, “The empress dowager actually knows in her heart that although Princess Qing Liu is beautiful, it is difficult for her to move the prince’s heart. Unless one could pierce through the prince’s Heart, he would not have any thoughts of taking a wife.”

“You say it so easily. A strange woman who can catch his eye is rare in the world.” The empress dowager sighed helplessly.

Nanny Bi Zhu continued to laugh, “It’s not that it’s not the time. It’s not the time yet. Perhaps one day, the prince will be enlightened and bring the princess to meet the empress dowager.”

The empress dowager was amused by Nanny Bi Zhu, “That’s for the best. I can’t wait for him to bring his wife and child to me in the future. When the time comes, I’ll be shocked!”

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled. They had never thought that their words would become a proverb after so many years.

That night, in Dafu Village…

Nanny Sheng held Gu Lin’s hand with one hand and Dumby’s hand with the other as they walked on the muddy path in the village.

Looking at Big Black who was leading the way in front of them, Nanny Sheng was so tired that she was gasping for breath. Her feet were gradually losing strength. Her shoes had long been drenched in mud and her feet were numb from the cold.

“Nanny, why isn’t our mother back yet?” Dumby’s small face was red from the cold as he asked with a trembling voice.

“It’s alright. Eldest Miss might have been delayed by something. Let’s go to the village entrance again to take a look. Perhaps we can wait for Eldest Miss to return.” Nanny Sheng saw that the two children had worried expressions on their faces, and her heart could not help but beat faster.

Gu Lin silently followed Nanny Sheng and continued walking forward. His heart was filled with anxiety.

Although Nanny Sheng had been consoling them, Gu Lin knew very well that things were not as simple as Nanny Sheng had said.

They had already made three trips from home since evening. They walked all the way to the village entrance, hoping that their mother would return quickly.

However, their mother had not come back.
