"If you can't find him, come back." Pei Shi called out, "If you don't come back, I'll go find you."
Ye Zhen lay on Pei Shi's knee. "Okay, I will come back."
Lu Shiming sighed. "Yao Yao, Dongqing is not small. How are you going to find him?"
No matter how Princess Qin died, as Princess Qin's younger sister, Yaoyao would not marry the Emperor before she found her biological father and brother. Moreover, no matter how evil Ye Yisong was and how much he deserved to die, he was still Yaoyao's uncle. The Emperor had ordered the Ye family to be exterminated. Because of this, Yaoyao would not enter the palace so easily.
"I will look for him slowly. I will find him eventually." Ye Zhen couldn't say that her people were already in Dongqing.
His daughter was not telling the truth! How could Lu Shiming not hear it? Even if the Ye family was exterminated, there may be some remaining forces. Perhaps some people are secretly helping his daughter now? "Yao Yao, I understand your feelings and your desire to find your biological father. I can let you go to Dongqing, but you have to promise me a few things."
Ye Zhen didn't expect Lu Shiming to promise her so easily. "Father, please tell me."
"First, you must protect yourself. Don't believe others' words at will. Don't be used by others." Lu Shiming said sternly. "Second, whether you can find Ye Yiqing or not, you must come back in the future. Yao Yao, you are our daughter."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Father, mother, my life … Can you not let others know for the time being?"
"No one else will know." Lu Shiming said. Although he and Pei Shi had never regarded Yao Yao as an outsider, the rest of the Lu family may not think so. He didn't even intend to tell the truth to the old lady.
Ye Zhen whispered, "I can't even tell my eldest cousin."
The person she was most afraid of was Lu Lingzhi. She couldn't let him know that she was Ye Yiqing's daughter at this time.
Lu Shiming smiled and comforted his daughter. "Don't tell anyone, okay?"
Ye Zhen was moved and hugged Lu Shiming's hand. "Father, mother, you are so good to me."
"Then why are you willing to leave us?" Pei shi poked her forehead in exasperation. "You better come back in one piece. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."
"Mother, I really can't bear to part with you." Ye Zhen threw herself into Pei Shi's arms. She was really reluctant to part with Pei Shi. When her mother was still alive, she was always cold to her, not as good as Pei Shi. In her heart, she regarded Pei Shi as her own mother.
Pei Shi hugged her, choking with tears. "You little rascal."
Ye Zhen was infected with sadness, and her eyes were full of tears.
Lu Shiming turned his head and blinked his eyes as he watched the mother and daughter crying together. "Alright, don't cry. It's not like Yaoyao won't come back in the future."
"I just can't bear to!" Pei shi shouted and glared at Lu Shiming.
"Yaoyao, when do you plan to leave?" Lu Shiming touched the tip of his nose, knowing that his wife must be feeling uncomfortable now, so he changed the topic and asked Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen glanced at Pei Shi and said in a low voice, "I want to go to the hot spring villa before it gets dark. If I leave in broad daylight, I'm afraid the emperor will blame the Lu family. When I leave, you can just pretend that I just went to the villa and know nothing about it." Pei Shi's expression changed.
"So urgent?" Pei Shi cried out involuntarily. She still wanted to spend a few days with her daughter.
"Mother, there's no time." Ye Zhen whispered.
Lu Shiming stood up and said, "I'll arrange for someone to send you out of the city. Who do you want to take with you?"
"I'll take Hong Ying. She is still injured, and Ye Yaoyao's matter has not come to light. I'm afraid that after I leave, someone will deliberately harm her." Ye Zhen said.
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded.
She didn't expect Lu Shiming and his wife to agree to let her leave like this. In the end, they still loved her, so they couldn't bear to part with her. She hadn't even seen her biological father. However, now that the decision has been made, Ye Zhen still has to tell Old Madam Lu.
She had to tell the old lady that she was going to Zhuangzi.
When Old Madam Lu heard that Ye Yaoyao would become Consort Yao, she naturally did not object to Ye Zhen going to Zhuangzi for a while to avoid the rumors in the capital. Ye Zhen left Jade Bottle in the capital and went out only with Hong Ying. She didn't bring too many things with her. She believed that Hong Ling would prepare them for her, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Although Hong Ying's injury had not yet healed, it was much better.
"Miss, Hong Ying is injured and can't serve you. It's better for this servant to go with you." Jade Bottle was afraid that Hong Ying would not serve Ye Zhen well and wanted to follow her to the manor.
"I'll be gone for a few days. Don't worry too much." Ye Zhen said with a smile. It's not that she didn't want to take Jade Bottle with her. After all, she was a palace maid sent by the empress dowager. Usually, she was fine, but she was going to Dongqing to find her father and the others. She was a little worried about taking Jade Bottle with her. "There are also servants in the manor."
Jade Bottle was still worried.
Ye Zhen said, "You stay. I'm afraid that Ye Yaoyao will come again. With you here to deal with her, I can rest assured."
"Miss, you can rest assured that this servant will be able to deal with her." Jade Bottle said.
"Well." Ye Zhen smiled with satisfaction.
Pei Shi came to help her daughter pack up her belongings. As she cleaned up, she softly told her about the problems she should pay attention to on the road. As she spoke, tears fell unconsciously.
"Mother, don't be like this. Maybe I'll be back soon." Ye Zhen comforted her.
"I know." Pei Shi wiped away her tears, but she knew very well that it would be a long time before her daughter would come back.
Ye Zhen bit her lip and silently took the money Pei Shi packed for her.
"This is mother's money. Take it with you. Don't wronged yourself on the road." Pei Shi stuffed a stack of silver notes into Ye Zhen's hand.
"Mother …" Ye Zhen finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Her heart was filled with guilt. "I have money. You don't have to give me money."
Pei Shi gave her a look. "Mother knows you have money. Who would complain about more money? Take it. "
Ye Zhen threw herself into Pei Shi's arms. "Mother, you are so good to me."
"You are my daughter. Who else should I be good to if not you?" Pei Shi took a deep breath. "Well, let's go. It will be dark if we don't go now."
"Mother, then I'll go. Take care." Ye Zhen whispered and looked back at Lu Shiming. "Father, you also have to take care."
Lu Shiming looked away and waved his hand. "Let's go."
Ye Zhen grasped the bundle in her hand, turned and walked out the door.
The carriage outside the door was prepared by Lu Shiming. Even the coachman was familiar with Ye Zhen. There was everything in the carriage. He was probably afraid that she would suffer on the road.
She really didn't know when she would come back.
Ye Zhen lifted the curtain and took a deep look. In a low voice, she ordered the five blessings to set off.
