Her sweet words, coupled with her appearance like delicate porcelain, and her chubby little face seemed to exude an alluring fragrance, making people want to protect her.
At this moment, when she acted coquettishly, the coldness that had been lingering on Jiang Boyi instantly dissipated a lot.
Zheng Huiyi seized the opportunity and immediately added to her offensive, still using that coquettish tone to say to Jiang Boyi seriously:
"My dear uncle, my second brother is indeed a little naughty, but who are you? You are the most outstanding teacher in the world! Do you know what the most outstanding teacher should do?"
Jiang Boyi was intrigued by the little girl's words. He leaned forward slightly and looked at her curiously.
“The most outstanding teachers are not just those with their own talents and abilities, but those who can cultivate equally outstanding students!”
"If you can grind a stubborn stone into a beautiful jade and tame all the stubborn students in the world, then wouldn't you become an unrivaled and outstanding teacher in the world?"
As Zheng Huiyi spoke, she nodded her chubby little head vigorously with a solemn expression, as if she was imparting an eternal truth.
Jiang Boyi couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this. He couldn't help but gently pinch the soft little cheek and exclaimed:
"You little guy, you are smarter than your second brother."
The little fellow stuck out his tongue mischievously and said shyly, "Hui Yi is just little, but my uncle is very wise. How can the two be compared?"
It must be said that her sweet words, like a gentle spring breeze, instantly melted the ice in Jiang Boyi's heart, making him smile and look very happy.
Gu Qinlan couldn't help but turn her head away, unable to bear to witness the heartwarming scene of Jiang Boyi being coaxed around by a little girl.
Jiang Boyi took the fragrant tea handed to him by Zheng Fengyun, drank it all, and then slowly spoke:
"From now on..."
"From now on, Feng Yun will definitely behave himself, listen to the teachings, study hard, and never let the hard work of his mother and teacher go to waste!"
When Zheng Fengyun saw Jiang Boyi's attitude soften, he immediately felt relieved and his heart relaxed. He patted his chest and made a promise with a serious expression.
Then, Zheng Fengyun couldn't help but secretly glance at Zheng Huiyi, who seemed low-key but had a hidden edge in Jiang Boyi's arms, and muttered to himself: This woman must be in my pocket!
When everyone dispersed, Gu Qinlan found that Dou Qianqian was still standing there, staring at him straight with some entanglement in her eyes.
"Mr. Dou, what's troubling you?"
Dou Qianqian heard this, her lips slightly opened, and she finally said: "I ask you to help me find my mother."
"Your mother?" Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan immediately straightened his back and his expression became solemn.
Gu Qinlan never expected that Dongfang Hongye would mysteriously disappear!
According to Dou Qianqian, after Dongfang Hongye rescued Gu Qinlan and returned home, she had a fierce argument with Dou Shangshu.
Although Dou Qianqian was reluctant to elaborate on the details, Gu Qinlan could still infer that the reason why Shangshu Dou was angry was probably related to the uncertainty of the current situation.
Minister Dou has not yet made his position clear, and Dongfang Hongye's behavior undoubtedly completely angered the Ninth Prince, thus closing the way to an alliance with the Ninth Prince.
In this case, if the Ninth Prince ascends the throne to become emperor in the future, his position as the Minister of Revenue will probably be lost.
After the argument, the two parted unhappily. However, when Dou Qianqian went to look for Dongfang Hongye the next day, she found that she had disappeared.
Dou Qianqian asked for help from Minister Dou, but Minister Dou was still furious and said coldly: "Let her go! Don't come back if she leaves!"
Obviously, Minister Dou thought that Dongfang Hongye was just angry for a moment and left home in anger.
At first, Dou Qianqian thought so too and returned to the general's mansion. But there was no sign of Dongfang Hongye in the general's mansion either.
Dou Qianqian originally wanted to tell her grandfather Dongfang Shenqi about this, but Dongfang Shenqi was already weak. Ever since he returned from the palace after meeting the emperor that day, he fell ill again due to the loss of his beloved son.
Dou Qianqian was worried that telling Dongfang Shenqi about her mother's disappearance would worsen his condition, so she had to keep the matter secret.
"Princess, my mother is not a reckless person. She would not run away from home just because of a quarrel with my father. Something must have happened to her!"
"However, my father doesn't believe me, and my grandfather is in poor health. I really have no other choice but to ask you for help."
Dou Qianqian's eyes were filled with tears, and tears were rolling in her eye sockets, but he firmly wiped them away.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan stepped forward quickly, held Dou Qianqian's slender hand tightly, took out the silk handkerchief in her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and said solemnly:
"You don't need to worry. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely help you find your mother."
Dou Qianqian was immersed in the delicate fragrance emanating from Gu Qinlan, and the turmoil in her heart seemed to gradually subside.
As Zheng Fengyun said, Gu Qinlan possesses a unique calmness that can soothe others.
After taking a breath, Dou Qianqian wiped away the tears in her eyes and asked with some worry, "Jinsuo also disappeared with my mother. Are they both safe?"
Gu Qinlan's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked:
"Is Jinsuo someone who is very close to your mother? Is Jinsuo responsible for all her affairs?"
"Indeed, Jinsuo is my mother's maid who came with her during her marriage. She has been with her since she was a child. My mother trusts her very much, and I heard that..."
"My grandmother was worried that my mother's straightforward character would make her feel wronged, so she took great pains in Jinsuo's growth, hoping that she could give her mother more support in the future."
Gu Qinlan was not surprised by this. After all, Jinsuo's ability to cope with the crisis last time had already demonstrated her extraordinary ability.
Gu Qinlan had some inferences in his mind, but still needed further confirmation, so he gently stroked Dou Qianqian's hair and said softly:
"You don't have to return to the Shangshu Mansion for the next two days. Stay in the palace first. I will send someone to inform your father."
If it was true as she guessed, Dou Qianqian might encounter an accident when she returned home.
After Dou Qianqian was put to rest, Wocan asked:
"Miss, we don't have any clues about Madam Dou's disappearance. How can we find her?"
Gu Qinlan shook her head slightly, twirling the jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers, and whispered her opinion:
"Sister Dongfang is not the kind of person who would easily run away from home because of an argument. Although she has a straightforward personality, she certainly would not want General Dongfang to worry about her, so her disappearance must be an accident."
"And what does it mean that Jinsuo disappeared with Sister Dongfang?"
Xiang Zhu blinked her big eyes and asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
Wocan rolled his eyes helplessly, tapped Xiangzhu's forehead, and explained:
"This means that the two of them were out together to handle something and encountered an accident, which is why they disappeared together."
Xiang Zhu stroked the place where he was hit, with a bit of pity in his eyes, but he still turned to look at Gu Qinlan.
