The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

After several breaths, there was still no movement in the room.

Now even Zhao Wu couldn't help but pace back and forth, her worry growing in her heart, fearing that Zhou Xiaoyuan would not be able to figure something out and do something stupid, but she went over and knocked on the door, but the door was still locked tightly.

If she forced the door open, I'm afraid Xiaoyuan would blame her... Zhao Wu silently took back her hand, hesitating in her heart.

Just like Xia Yechen's choice, Zhao Wu did not dare to forcefully stimulate Zhou Xiaoyuan, but she could not suppress her worry.

At this moment, a small hand pulled the corner of Zhao Wu's clothes.

Upon noticing the movement, Mrs. Zhao Wu couldn't help but be a little surprised. When she lowered her head and looked down, she realized that it was Nini who had woken up and ran out at some point.

She squinted her eyes, and an idea suddenly came to her mind. She couldn't help but squat down and touched Nini's head, and said softly: "Why is Nini here? Do you miss your mother?"

Hearing this, the little girl looked up at the closed door, then at Mrs. Zhao Wu. There was a little bit of grievance in her eyes, and she nodded obediently.

"Mother, don't you want to see Nini? You keep yourself locked in the door..."

"How can this be possible?"

Mrs. Zhao Wu objected, and while hugging Nini, she reached out and knocked on the door again, winking at the little girl.

Although Nini was a little confused, she knew that this was her mother's room. Seeing what Zhao Wu wanted her to say, she blinked and shouted: "Mother!"

As soon as she saw her on the road, Mrs. Zhao Wu smiled a little more, and she leaned over to give Nini some advice in a low voice.

Then all the calls from Nini followed.

"Mom...are you in there? Nini

I miss you. Can Nini come in? "

The little girl was extraordinarily smart, and her inferences made both Zhao and Wu family worry a lot. The older one and the younger one stood outside the door, eager to get the one inside to say something back.

At first, Mrs. Zhao Wu was worried that Zhou Xiaoyuan might not hear her, so she quietly asked Nini to speak louder and louder.

As if she knew what Zhao Wu wanted to do, Nini was extremely cooperative.

As expected, Zhou Xiaoyuan inside was heartbroken. No matter what the situation was, as long as she thought about her cheap daughter, everything seemed not so important.

Even though she picked up a child for free, her relationship with him these days was genuine, and it would be false to say that she could give it up.

She sighed softly and went to open the door.

At a glance, she caught a glimpse of surprise in Zhao Wu's eyes, and then there was a hint of guilt on her face. She handed Nini back to her and was about to leave.

But Zhou Xiaoyuan stopped her and shook her head at her. Even though she knew this was Zhao Wu's intention, she couldn't get angry, so she said softly: "Come in together, I'm not angry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Wu obviously relaxed a lot. She turned back and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan, with a trace of worry on her face.

A group of three people entered the door, Zhou Xiaoyuan pulled a chair for Zhao Wu to sit down, and the room was quiet for a while.

Finally, it was Zhao Wu who broke the silence and asked worriedly.

"What do you want to do next? I heard that eldest brother... ah no, that His Highness is going to report to the current Holy One, you..."

She spoke a little hesitantly, but Zhou Xiaoyuan could roughly guess what she was thinking, so she nodded, holding Nini in her arms.

He was a little lost in thought and said softly: "I know this. He told me outside the door when he left."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes still looked worried when she looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan. While she was thinking about it, she couldn't say much.

Just when she was about to change the topic, Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her head and reached out to tease Nini, who was rarely well-behaved.

On the other hand, he asked her: "Have you seen daddy today?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded very vigorously. Her dark eyes were lively and cute, and she was obviously very happy.

"I see, I see! Daddy is prettier than before. If aunt hadn't told Nini, Nini wouldn't have recognized him!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She scratched the little girl's nose and said, "Little clever ghost...how old were you when your father left? How do you remember him clearly?"

Yes, he was just a clever kid imitating an adult's tone to make Zhou Xiaoyuan happy. How could she not hear it?

Seeing that she was exposed, Nini curled her lips and looked a little aggrieved.

However, she quickly regained her composure, took the initiative to rub against Zhou Xiaoyuan, raised her head and asked her obediently: "So... Mom doesn't remember, either?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan was slightly stunned, unable to say yes or no. She was silent for a while, then raised her head and looked at Zhao Wu, her eyes were a little helpless and she said: "I guess so, his face As early as my memory was blurry, I always...always thought he was dead."

These words made Mrs. Zhao Wu sigh in despair. She came over and held Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand and sighed. She comforted her and said softly: "As the saying goes, there is no perfect path for everyone. Maybe it has always been the case in the past."

What about the test? "

"Anyway, His Highness has come back, and he wants you to take him back together. This is good. At least he has protection."

Zhao Wu persuaded her like this, and Zhou Xiaoyuan knew what she meant.

But in this way, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt that she would only resist even more. She thought about it and shook her head.

He said decisively: "That's all, let it take its course. After all, he is the father of the child. If he has any other difficulties, just tell me. It's just a place like the palace..."

Zhou Xiaoyuan hesitated to speak, not daring to go too deep. Zhao Wu looked at her as if she was a little confused, but she didn't ask too much.

However, Zhou Xiaoyuan seemed to remember something again. She looked at Nini and then at Zhao Wu, and asked thoughtfully: "Where is Archie?"

When it came to this, Mrs. Zhao Wu also hesitated to speak.

When she took Nini away from the room, she left Archie there to rest. Apparently, Zhao Wu was a little unsure about Zhou Xiaoyuan's thoughts, and was also worried that Xia Yechen would not like the child.

After all, things are very different now. Zhou Xiaoyuan is a quasi-princess.

While several people in the room were talking, Archie, who had been obediently absent, huddled under the corner outside the window.

He knew that several strangers had come to the house, and he also knew the purpose of those strangers' coming, because Zhao Wu specifically told him not to move around when he took Nini away.

Archie believed it, but until now, he still didn't know when it would be appropriate for him to go out.

Nini is going to have a father, but he... is just a little beggar.

Nini’s father has a distinguished status. Even with the promise of her godmother, Nini’s

His younger brother never promised him. After Nini returns... what will he do next?
