The rescued villainous lady wants to go home with me

"Ah this."

Jie Ting and the little girl looked at Lorraine in disbelief, as if they had heard something ridiculous.

But that child is not the heir of Xueni and His Highness the Second Highness, and he cares so much about Xueni, so if you think about it, it is so reasonable.

"Something happened here, and it's not easy to explain to you."

Lorraine himself didn't know the whole situation until later.

As someone else who hasn't seen and experienced it firsthand, it should take a while to understand.

Although she didn't quite understand what was going on, Jie Ting paused, quickly got up in front of Lorraine, and knelt down on the ground.

"Your Highness, please help us."

Seeing this, the little girl next to her also stepped forward in a daze, kneeling on the ground like Jie Ting.

"This......"

Lorraine is used to the life here, and the etiquette among the nobles opposite is also very familiar.

But it was the first time to be treated like this, so I was somewhat flustered.

"You don't have to be like this, talk about something." Lorraine said quickly.

Realizing that her behavior made the other party feel embarrassed, Jie Ting helped the little girl beside her stand up again.

"Did you encounter any problems?" Lorraine asked directly to the point.

"Yeah." Sad emotions spread from Jieting's face in an instant, "My two children were taken away."

"Took away?"

It was only then that Lorraine discovered that the problems they encountered seemed to be more serious than they had imagined.

When I went to find Jieting last time, besides this little girl, there were two other younger children, so she must be referring to them.

"Can you tell me what happened? Lorraine asked next.

Afterwards, Jieting told Lorraine the general situation.

Her two children were playing in the snow in front of their home today.

No matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop children from having fun, and adults are not surprised either.

When Jie Ting was about to ask them to come in for dinner, she called several times but received no response.

Feeling something was wrong, Jie Ting went out of the house to check and found that the two children were nowhere to be found, only a row of footprints left on the snow.

And it was obviously the footprints of adults.

Only then did Jieting realize that something had happened.

After the child's father learned of the situation, he immediately went out to seek help.

The neighbors there all know each other, so maybe we can get some clues.

The more she waited, the more anxious she became. Finally, Jieting, who couldn't bear the worry, remembered what Lorraine said at the time, so she tried to find her.

I was afraid that something would happen to the remaining children, so I took them with me.

She knew that there was a huge gap between commoners and nobles.

Jie Ting had worked in a noble's mansion before, but in the final analysis, the relationship between them was just an employment relationship.

Giving her enough money would be the end of the other party's benevolence. It would be somewhat unreasonable to ask a noble to help her for no reason.

But now she really has no other choice.

"Is there no one involved to deal with this kind of thing?"

Now that they have found themselves here, Lorraine will naturally help them.

But if he remembers correctly, apart from the Knights, there are special institutions in the capital to deal with this kind of situation, so as to maintain the order that should exist in the capital.

Jieting shook her head. The children's father also said that he would go there to seek help, but there was no news when they left, which proved a lot of things.

Lorraine touched his chin with a solemn expression.

This kind of thing, no matter where it is placed, is not a trivial matter.

Just as Lorraine was trying to help them, a voice came from the door.

After the girl got off the carriage, she hurried into the house.

It was cold outside, but not to the point of freezing her.

But what she looks forward to the most every day is to see the face that already belongs to her immediately after she comes back.

"I'm back!" Xueni's voice was not very loud, but there was obvious joy in it.

"Cough cough."

She was used to Xueni's appearance, but Lorraine still coughed to remind her.

"There are guests here."

"......guest?"

It was only then that Xue Ni saw the two figures in front of Lorraine, and quickly retracted her previous posture.

In various senses, Lorraine's place can already be said to be her other home, and she is also very relaxed here on weekdays.

But if someone comes, that's another story.

In addition to being a noble lady, she is also Lorraine's fiancée.

You still have to be careful in front of outsiders.

Hearing Xueni's voice, Jieting's body obviously paused, then turned around.

Seeing that the child she once took care of was now an adult, she had a look of relief on her face.

Xue Ni also came over, looking at Jie Ting's face and the emotion in her eyes.

"You are......"

Regarding the woman in front of her, Xueni could still remember things about her, but they were all vague.

Jie Ting forced a smile on her face full of sorrow, and then performed some jerky etiquette to Xue Ni, and said

"Miss Xue Ni, long time no see. I'm very happy to see you in such good health."

Lorraine stood aside and looked at the two people quietly.

He had previously thought about inviting Jie Ting and her family when he and Xueni held their wedding.

Because for Xueni, Jieting is also one of the few acquaintances she has in the capital.

In Jieting's view, taking care of Xueni was just her job at that time.

However, Jie Ting could not help but feel sorry for her condition at that time, so much so that she would try to take care of her when she appeared talking nonsense.

As for Xueni, Jie Ting is also a special person to her.

Although I didn't know her name at the time, and because I hadn't seen her for a long time, her appearance was blurred in my memory, but if I see her now, I can still immediately think of this person's existence.

That's what the so-called old friend is.

Xue Ni sat next to Lorraine naturally, and squeezed his thigh with her little hand.

Feeling slightly painful, Lorraine approached Xueni and whispered, "I've already warned you."

He knew that Xue Ni was a little embarrassed because of his behavior just now, and now he blamed himself.

Seeing the two people's closeness, Jie Ting also smiled.

Before I left, I was a little worried about Xueni, but now that she has found a good place to belong, I feel relieved.

After a brief chat, they quickly returned to the topic just now.

After all, this is what Jie Ting came here for.

"You also encountered this kind of thing?"

I don't know if it's because of the incident, or the sadness on Jie Ting's face, but Xue Ni's expression became a little dignified.

"What does this mean?" Lorraine felt that Xueni knew something.

"Several related things have happened in the royal capital recently." Xue Ni stared at it and said, "The Knights have begun to investigate."

Xue Ni and the others are used to the interior of the Knights, and they can understand most of the things, one of which is related to what Jie Ting said.

"Are my two children in danger?"

"this......"

Xue Ni wanted to try to comfort Jie Ting, but found that this was not her strong point, because most of the time it was Lorraine who comforted herself.

In fact, similar things happened in civilian residential areas throughout the royal capital during this period.

Relevant agencies have also begun investigations.

At first, they thought it was just a simple kidnapping incident, but as they went deeper, it seemed that it was not that simple.

In order to avoid unnecessary panic, these things have not been spread too much for the time being.

"Can I ask a little bit, has any stranger visited you recently?"

"Strangers?" Jieting thought back.

"Mother." The little girl who had been silent by the side shook Jieting's clothes, "Last time, those two last time.

"Oh, that's right." Jieting remembered something, "Not long ago, two people who had never met before appeared, and they asked me for directions."

At that time, Jieting's three children were all by her side.

But the two men didn't say much except asking for directions.

Everything seemed normal, so Jieting didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Is there anything strange about them?"

"No." Jie Ting shook her head, "When I left, I was given some money in return."

After listening, Xue Ni showed a thoughtful look.

Seeing her like this, Lorraine was a little surprised. Her current women's knight uniform has not been changed, and this look is really different from before.

She said that the time she joined the Knights was not long, but the environment will change people a little, which is really right.

And her own temperament, once she really starts to do something, it is easy to enter the corresponding state.

The premise is that she really wants to do it.

......

Because she wanted to go back to see if the children's father was back and ask for any useful information, Jie Ting did not choose to stay too long.

What she wanted to ask for this time was also conveyed to Lorraine.

Whether it was because she helped him last time or because of her relationship with Xueni, Lorraine would help her as well as she could.

As it grew late, Lorraine asked the carriage to give them a ride in case anything else happened.

While the maids were busy preparing dinner, only Lorraine and Xueni were left in the living room.

Thinking of Xueni's expression just now, Lorraine said, "Then can you tell me now, what's going on here?"

I have learned a lot about this world recently, but Xue Ni, who is in the Knights, should be more aware of what is happening in the capital.

"It's okay to tell you, but in what capacity do you want to know about this?" Xue Ni said playfully, "Second Highness? Or my fiance?"

Saying that, Xue Ni leaned on Lorraine's body.

After the news of their engagement spread, Xue Ni's intimacy was relaxed a bit, at least she wouldn't be too shy in front of the maids.

If it's the kind of people you know from the outside world just now, you may need to get used to it.

On the contrary, recently, she has become keen to ask Lorraine such similar questions, as if reconfirming their relationship.
