The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu's brows were furrowed, and then he stopped walking.

Suixi stopped and began to think hard.

Then, he shook his head and said, "Princess, at that time, Taotao only had a piece of rag on his body and around him. As for other personal belongings or notes, there were none of them. I also searched the waste pile where Taotao was, but found nothing unusual."

Fusang then asked, "Suixi, is there anything unusual in that dark alley? Like signs of a fight? Maybe Taotao was thrown away by the human traffickers."

Suixi thought for a moment and said, "No. The alley was covered with moss and dust, and there was not even a footprint on the ground."

Fusang pondered and boldly guessed: "If it's not possible that this was thrown away intentionally, then Taotao might have been stolen and lost accidentally?"

Yun Mujiu nodded as he listened, and began his analysis: "There are two hypotheses."

"First, Taotao's family didn't want to raise a girl. In many places, especially poor families, some people are unwilling to spend time and effort to raise a girl. But Taotao was found by Suixi when she was two years old, which means someone had raised her for a while before. Logically, if someone didn't want to raise a girl, some people would give her away or throw her away as soon as she was born. How could they raise her for two years and then throw her away?"

Chunlan spoke up at the right time: "Princess, some people in the civilian settlements outside Beijing are particularly biased towards boys over girls. Maybe someone felt pressured to raise Taotao until he was two years old, so they decided to give him up?"

"This possibility does have some rationality." Yun Mujiu pondered for a moment, "but the possibility is relatively low. Even if it's a kitten or a puppy, you'll develop feelings for it after raising it for a long time. How could someone be willing to just throw away a living person..."

She continued, "Back to the hypothesis I mentioned. Now let's talk about the second hypothesis. Taotao was not abandoned on purpose. There must have been some accidents. For example, as Fusang said just now, she was stolen by human traffickers or other bad guys, and then these people had to abandon the child for some reason."

"Besides, maybe they left the child aside temporarily to avoid someone, but they never expected to find the child again..."

Yun Mujiu recalled Tao Tao's appearance and mind, "Although Tao Tao is still young, he doesn't give me the impression that he comes from a poor family."

She is not stereotyping certain groups, but is talking about a matter of probability. Children will often inherit their parents' looks, temperament, and IQ.

Suixi paused and quickly continued, "When I first met Taotao, she was dressed a little dirty, but her face was still full and round, and her hair was black and shiny."

Yun Mujiu speculated based on this: "It seems that Taotao's nutrition was still good at that time, and it didn't seem like the people around her were unable to support her."

She looked at Suixi and said solemnly, "I have sent people to the government offices in and around Beijing to inquire about the news. If I find that someone has reported a missing child and the relevant requirements meet Taotao's various conditions, I will have people pay more attention. If Taotao was stolen or abducted, the government office may have a record of the information."

“Princess!” Suixi immediately became a little excited and bowed to Yunmujiu: “Your subordinate and Taotao thank you for your help!”

Yun Mujiu spread his hands, "Don't be like this. We will slowly find out some information, even if it's just clues. Don't worry too much."

She then asked, "By the way, Suixi, does Taotao have any birthmarks or obvious physical marks?"

Suixi thought about it and said, "Taotao has no birthmarks, and there is only a small red mole on his right earlobe."

"Okay. If you find out anything more about Tao Tao's life experience, tell me immediately."

Suixi nodded to show that he understood.

Chunlan glanced at Suixi's solemn expression and consoled her: "If I had a little girl as cute as Taotao, I would never want her to suffer, let alone be separated from her."

Yun Mujiu smiled back, "Chunlan, you will have it in the future. When you plan to get married, I will give you a big red envelope and a dowry. I will do the same for other people around me, whether they are men or women."

Chunlan was stunned. She had said it carelessly, but she had not expected the princess to reply so sincerely. She could not help feeling shy and surprised for a moment.

She said shyly: "Princess, I will always stay by your side."

Yun Mujiu looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Although you are working beside me, I will not restrict you in every way. When we are done with the corresponding things, you will have your own ideas by then, and I will allow you all to get married!"

At the end, she couldn't help laughing. She was not like other stubborn and rigid people who would oppress the people around her.

Suixi and Fusang were only about seventeen years old, and Chunlan and the other four personal maids were only sixteen or seventeen years old. If they were in other mansions, they would not be allowed to get married, or even have their own plans, and could only stay and work for their masters.

The three were shocked by Yun Mujiu's words, but they also felt Yun Mujiu's magnanimity and sincere kindness, and they all spoke: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess."

Chunlan was the first to speak: "I want to stay by the princess' side and stay in the Ye Mansion. I don't want to leave." The prince and the princess are very good, and everyone in the Ye Mansion is also very nice. She was reluctant to leave.

Yun Mujiu laughed: "You don't have to leave the Ye Mansion just to get married. Even if you get married, you can still continue to do things in the Ye Mansion."

Sui Xi nodded and said seriously: "Princess, I want to become an excellent secret guard and serve you. Let's put other things aside for now."

"I feel the same way. What's more, no man out there is as good as the princess!" Fusang's big eyes were full of determination.

Suixi's body stiffened for a moment.

"Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. It's okay, as long as you like it." Yun Mujiu looked at the expressions of the three people and said, "However, if you want to start a family in the future, it's totally fine. Do you understand?"

The three of them replied honestly: "I understand..."

Yun Mujiu turned his head and called out to the air again: "Shadow Six..."

Ying Liu, who was hiding in the dark, paused and almost stumbled. He appeared in front of Yun Mujiu and said, "Ying Liu is here. What do you want, princess?"

Yun Mujiu said: "Did you hear what we just said?"

"Yes."

"Well, I treat you all equally here. Therefore, even if you are a member of the Cold Shadow Guard, I can still arrange a marriage for you. If necessary, I can even help you find a wife myself."

Yingliu raised his eyebrows. Is there such a good thing?

However, Yingliu still looked a little embarrassed, with a stern face.

"My subordinates share the same idea as Suixi and the others. Let's focus on our careers first."

Yun Mujiu raised his lips and said, "You guys are so serious! But it doesn't matter. I'll tell you this anyway."

The other four looked at each other, with faint smiles on their faces at the same time. The princess is such an interesting person!

Afterwards, Yun Mujiu took a carriage to the Herb Hall. Taking advantage of the time he had in the past few days, he went to the Herb Hall for a consultation.

It was already afternoon when she arrived at the hall. Since she had not told the staff of the Herbal Hall in advance when she would see patients, no one lined up to see her today.

But as soon as Yun Mujiu walked into the clinic, some people who had discovered her quickly lined up.

She was still sorting out her medicine box when she heard people outside discussing the major events that happened in the capital yesterday, especially the incident where Yun Shirou was taught a lesson last night.

While Yun Mujiu was packing the medicine box, he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation outside.

Hmm? Now there are some specific details to listen to… Sometimes it’s fun to listen to gossip.
