So, the group of people walked along the mountain path for a while.
Suddenly, they heard a voice calling from not too far away—
"Brother, where are you!"
The house servants and Zhi’er approached, only to see it was An Suzhu, alone, calling out everywhere.
Her face was anxious, with tears of worry in her eyes.
Upon catching sight of Zhi’er out of the corner of her eye, An Suzhu turned her head and saw it was Zhi’er, instantly running over joyfully.
"Princess!" She said with a choked voice, "Please help , I’ve lost my way with my brother in the forest."
Zhi’er furrowed her small eyebrows, suspiciously looking at her.
"What are you here for?"
Earlier the house servants ntioned that her big brother had already bought the entire mountain top to make a dicine garden.
An Suzhu maintained her composure and said with a choked voice, "I just recovered from my injuries, and my brother said he would take out for a stroll, but neither of us are familiar with the mountain paths. Sohow, we ended up here."
"My brother told to wait here, while he went to call the followers, but who would have thought he’d be gone an hour and hasn’t co back."
"And to find him, I relied on my sense to walk back, but who knew, I ended up deeper in the dense forest!"
She asked earnestly, "Princess, will you help ?"
Zhi’er pouted, initially wanting to say no.
But, the little one saw the calculation deep in An Suzhu’s eyes.
She imdiately understood.
Oh~ So you’re trying to bully her!
Zhi’er adopted a thoughtful pose, "Which way did your brother go?"
An Suzhu quickly pointed behind her, "That way."
The path she pointed at led even further into the deep mountains.
Zhi’er made an instant decision.
Let her see how this pair of wicked siblings plans on shooting themselves in the foot!
The two house servants exchanged a look and said, "Princess, the mountain ahead is too deep, even we haven’t been there, we advise you not to go."
Afraid that Zhi’er might not fall for it, An Suzhu said pitifully, "Princess, please help . What if sothing happens to my brother, I... I’m really scared!"
Zhi’er’s long lashes fluttered, as she smiled brightly, "Don’t worry! I’ll surely help you find him."
Afterward, she turned to the house servants, turning her small body to convey to them—
"You two go find my big brother and tell him soone is trying to lure into the mountains and sell ! Have him co find ."
The two house servants were startled.
They glanced back at An Suzhu.
An Suzhu couldn’t hear what they were speaking about, only squinting suspiciously.
Zhi’er gave the two house servants a look.
The house servants, quick-witted, imdiately responded, "Then we’ll first report to the Eldest Heir at the dicine garden, we bid farewell."
With that, the two of them left first.
Zhi’er walked to An Suzhu’s side, "Let’s go, we’ll find your brother!"
An Suzhu forced a grateful smile.
But she couldn’t help but be curious.
"Princess, just now, what did you say to those two house servants?"
Zhi’er’s eyes were bright and shiny.
She chuckled, "I asked them to convey to my brother, if I don’t return for a long ti, let him co find ."
An Suzhu’s expression stiffened.
If true, she couldn’t bully the little princess too harshly.
Otherwise, if the Eldest Heir really ca looking, no matter how well they acted, they’d be rebuked.
An Suzhu’s eyes shifted, feigning, "Of course, if we really can’t find him, I’ll return with the Princess and have my father send soone to search later."
