A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 129 Lotus Lantern

Jiang Yunjin's inquiry received no response for a long time.

Unable to wait for an answer, Jiang Yunjin couldn't help but look up at Pei Jingnian who was sitting next to him.

The latter frowned, a thoughtful look appearing on his handsome face.

At such a young age, he has already shown his talent.

Very good, good looks are an asset, you can eat an extra piece of cake just by looking at it.

Jiang Yunjin asked again, and Pei Jingnian seemed to come back to his senses.

He pursed his lips and finally uttered a word: "Okay!"

After Pei Jingnian finished speaking, he used the clean cloth on the table to wipe off the pastry crumbs in his hands.

After putting the clean cloth back on the table, he stood up and walked towards Shen Yixu.

In front of the eldest princess, he whispered to Shen Yixu.

After a moment, Shen Yixu looked at Pei Jingnian with a pale face.

No one knew what the two of them said. Jiang Yunjin only saw that Shen Yixu looked like he was about to cry, but he finally nodded.

After Pei Jingnian finished his persuasion, he walked back as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yunjin wanted to ask a question, but after seeing the coldness on the other person's face, he swallowed the words back.

At this moment, Shen Yixu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Princess, we have accepted this case in the Criminal Court, but we still need to report this to my elder brother! We will arrange for someone to go to the Princess's residence and paint the little princess's portrait in two days!"

All the words that Shen Yixu said were ideas proposed by Pei Jingnian.

The emperor has also been searching secretly in the past few years, but there has been no news!
There were also rumors in the court that the little princess was in trouble.

It was still the eldest prince who spoke honestly and said that the little princess was fine, and he had managed the little princess' fiefdom in good order over the years.

Even in years of severe drought and famine, the people in the fiefdoms were able to have enough food and clothing.

When the princess saw that the Criminal Justice Department had taken over the case, her face was moved, and even though she didn't say it, her gratitude was evident on her face.

The matter was settled, and Shen Yixu didn't want to stay any longer. After paying his respects to the eldest princess, he left the box with the two little ones.

Before leaving, the eldest princess stuffed Jiang Yunjin with a lot of delicious food.

Even though the little girl weakly objected, the eldest princess ignored her and said that the little girl was a little thin and should eat more.

Jiang Yunjin returned to the box carrying a bunch of things, and pinched her increasingly round belly in disbelief.

You call this thin?

She silently glanced at the pastry in her arms again and felt that what the princess said was right, isn’t it just thin!

Jiang Yunjin was happily eating the cakes while Shen Yixu was complaining to Pei Jingnian that this was too harsh.

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Wo go!"

Jiang Yunjin was eating a pastry and hurried to the door and opened it.

A perfect couple came into view.

After a closer look, I found that it was Mr. Shen! Next to him stood a petite and very delicate woman.

While Jiang Yunjin was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at the little girl in front of him.

"Eh? Xiao Yunjin, why are you here? And Pei Jingnian? It's indeed something the third brother would do!"

Lord Shen was surprised at first, but when his eyes fell on someone who was evasive, he immediately understood what was going on.

He led his wife into the box and then introduced them to each other.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other side became familiar with him.

Looking at his wife holding the little girl tightly, he felt a little amused.

Only then did Lord Shen turn his gaze to his third brother.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw the other person's eyes flickering, and it was obvious that he was hiding something from him.

When he thought of this, his face darkened instantly, and his dark eyes stared at Shen Yixu. Unable to bear the pressure, Shen Yixu almost knelt down to his elder brother, but fortunately he was stopped by Pei Jingnian who was sitting next to him, otherwise he would have lost face.

Even so, the eldest brother's eyes were always staring at people.

Shen Yixu wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and told everything that had just happened.

However, he did not give Pei Jingnian away, only saying that he could not bear to see the eldest princess's young daughter lost outside.

When Lord Shen heard this, he remained silent for a rare moment.

After a long while, he sighed and said slowly, "When the baby girl was lost, the emperor ordered me to investigate the matter. At that time, I only knew that it was the wet nurse of the princess's mansion who took the child away. She had been gone for five years!"

It is extremely difficult to find the lost children nowadays.

However, Shen Yixu accepted the matter in the name of the Criminal Justice Department and had no choice but to help the princess search for him.

Shen Yixu originally thought he would be criticized, but to his surprise, he wasn't! This made him bolder.

"Brother, I will take the painter to the princess's mansion the day after tomorrow!"

Shen Yixu thought about the appointment he had made with the princess, and took the opportunity to tell his elder brother.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly frowned, and after a long time he pointed at the little snowball nestled in his wife's arms.

"The day after tomorrow, take Xiao Yunjin with you!"

Shen Yixu looked at Jiang Yunjin with a puzzled look on his face, and only later did he realize that the little girl was very good at painting.

Jiang Yunjin, who was named, was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he almost fell to the ground.

Alive again, alive again!

She takes her salary but does not work, and always feels that the money is not secure!

Painting a portrait is both easy and hard work.

After all, it is quite difficult to draw a baby you have never seen before.

But these are for outsiders.

For Jiang Yunjin, it’s still a small matter!

She quickly agreed.

Jiang Yunjin agreed readily, which made Mrs. Shen, who was holding her, slightly stunned.

Mrs. Shen realized belatedly and remembered the little girl's abilities. She smiled gently and was proud of her.

After saying a few more words, the sound of fireworks was heard outside.

"The fireworks show has begun! Come and see it!"

Shen Yixu opened the window and brought a small stool for Jiang Yunjin, letting the little girl stand on it. She pulled on the wooden window with her small hands, and stared at the fireworks blooming outside the window with her round eyes.

Beautiful and eye-catching, although fleeting, it will leave its splendor in people's hearts.

The fireworks display lasted for an hour.

Jiang Yunjin also leaned on the wooden window and watched for an hour.

After the fireworks show ended, Jiang Yunjin followed Pei Jingnian to leave the box.

But the Shen family was worried and insisted on sending the two back.

When they passed a place where lotus lanterns were placed, several people stopped in unison and walked towards the place where lotus lanterns were sold in tacit understanding.

There were exactly five lotus lanterns left on the stall at this moment.

Lord Shen bought all the lotus lanterns at once, and no one got one.

Everyone walked over to write down their best New Year wishes, put them in the lotus lanterns and let them float away.

Jiang Yunjin was very short and could not reach the table at all, so he had to use the paper and pen handed to him by Shen Yixu.

"Xiao Yunjin, can you write? Otherwise, why don't you ask me to write for you?" Shen Yixu asked worriedly.

When Jiang Yunjin heard this, he snorted and raised his little head slightly.

Without answering, he took a pen and paper and went to the steps beside and started writing.
