After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 68 Joy and Carelessness
"Yeah, it's okay to pull in a little more." Yu Linlang opened the car curtain and poked half of her head out, "Just stop here."

The driver quickly brought a small stool for her to get off.

"You guys go back, I'll take a walk around. I heard there's a lantern festival tonight, I'll take a look and I'll be back later."

Jiujin jumped out of the car and said, "Girl."

Ba Liang gently pulled her and whispered, "Let the girl go. It's rare that she is interested in going to the lantern festival, so let's not spoil her enthusiasm."

"Okay, then let the girl relax. It's boring to stay in this small city all day long and do some nonsense every day."

Miss Yu felt relieved, but Huo was in a bad mood.

When he learned that Yu Linlang didn't even go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, his anger surged into his heart again.

"It's so outrageous. What does it look like for a daughter's family to wander around all day long? She is shameless, and my Yu family is even more shameless!"

"Mom, don't be angry." Yu Pianpian reached out and gave her a cup of hot tea, leaning next to her with a smile and comforting her, "Sister Linlang is quite talented, and her medical skills look very powerful. Prince Pingkang always invites her over every day. Once the family is together, if she can really cure the county prince's stubborn leg problem for many years, I'm afraid she will become famous."

"In this way, the entire Jade Mansion will benefit from her, which is a good thing, mother."

"Bah." Mrs. Huo spat and poked her daughter on the forehead with her finger, "You are still too naive. With her aloof and unruly temperament, what good things can she accomplish? Don't bring any undue disaster to the family, I will Thank God for Amitabha!”

"Mom, don't say that. Didn't my father say that last time? The demon murder case was solved this time, thanks to sister Linlang's superb painting skills."

Huo's face was full of disgust, "She can also draw those criminals who are not on the stage. Let her draw some realistic and moving flowers, birds and animals like you. Can she? Can she?"

"It's a wonderful reunion dinner, and she gets angry when I mention it. It's a good idea if you don't come to eat! Your father will be back soon, call your brother, and the four of us will have a happy meal."

Yu Linlang walked along the lively Chongyuanfang Street towards Dongshi.

She went to the bank to exchange a bag of copper coins, planning to eat all the delicious food in Dongshi.

In previous years, she would have a reunion with her adoptive father and adoptive mother's family on New Year's Eve. This year, she was alone, so there was nothing wrong with eating, shopping, and admiring the lanterns.

Yu Linlang took out eight copper coins and bought a koi lantern on the street, holding it in her hand while walking.

Along the street were the sounds of vendors and goons hawking, and the bustling crowds making a fuss.

Yu Linlang bought another pack of zongzi candies and jumped onto the stone arch bridge with a koi lantern. She originally wanted to go to the other side of the bridge to watch the lantern lion dance, but unexpectedly when she raised her eyes, she caught Mu Zhao's gaze directed at her.

Under the starry sky and the street lights, the two people looked at each other from afar on both sides of the stone bridge and were both startled.

Mu Zhao reacted and walked towards Yu Linlang first, holding her hands in front of her as a gift, "Miss Yu also went out to visit the lantern market alone?"

Yu Linlang hurriedly returned the gift, "I've met the Crown Prince."

"I met Miss Yu by chance at the New Year's Eve party today. There is no need to be so polite. You and I are of the same generation. Miss Yu can just call me Huaizhi."

Miss Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and wanted to smile at his meaning, but she failed to smile at all...

Mu Zhao couldn't help laughing, "Miss Yu wants to watch the dragon and lion dance."

Yu Linlang nodded, but her eyes were fixed on his face without missing an inch, and she kept studying his complexion carefully.

This scorching gaze made Mu Zhao's heart tremble for no reason...

This Prince Mu has long been used to seeing all kinds of loving looks in the eyes of noble ladies from various famous families in the capital, but he has never seen Miss Yu like this.

The look in his eyes had nothing to do with love, nor was it a sign of attachment or admiration. It was like, uh... looking at a freshly baked medicine man.

"You..." They both said at the same time, then stopped suddenly.

"You say it first." Yu Linlang nodded gently at him, showing loving eyes...

"The medicine Miss Yu gave me last time was very effective."

Yu Linlang nodded frequently, "Can the doctor check it out? What did your doctor say?"

"The doctor has always wanted to visit the girl and ask her how to make this pill. She wants me to take it for a long time." "I'm afraid it won't work in the long term." Miss Yu shook her head, looked at him thoughtfully, and then stretched out her hand to grab it. He touched his wrist again and again, "If you take this medicine for another ten days, you will probably need to change it. Only the right medicine can be prescribed. It is not set in stone."

Mu Zhao lowered his head and looked at the little girl standing in front of him. Somehow, he felt the fireworks in the sky dazzling his eyes.

Yu Linlang couldn't help but look up at the fireworks.

Mu Zhao said warmly, "Let's go to the river beach to have a look. The view there is empty, and there are many snacks for sale along the river. I think the girl will like it."

Yu Linlang's eyes lit up and she followed him all the way to the river.

Sure enough, there were a lot of delicacies along the street. Miss Yu finished the roasted mutton and grilled quail. After drinking the sweet soup, she fell in love with other people's steamed rice cakes...

Mu Shizi felt that the little girl had a great appetite and was very straightforward and innocent, which made her feel happy just looking at her.

Yu Linlang was also very happy. Along the river beach, she saw the cake uncle selling plum blossom soup cakes at a stall, and said hello with a smile.

"Sir, please take a seat. The business here in Dongshi has been good these days. I also moved here specially to do business for a few days. I didn't expect to meet two distinguished guests. Please come quickly."

"Uncle Cake, please be busy. You don't have to greet us specially. Just serve us two bowls."

Not long after, two bowls of hot plum blossom soup cakes were served.

Yu Linlang sipped the soup and turned to look at the fireworks exploding on the other side of the river.

For a time, there were clusters of fireworks, mixed with the sound of strings of firecrackers, one after another.

Mu Zhao put down the spoon and smiled gently, "Today I am honored to watch the New Year's Eve with the girl. I hope that Miss Linlang will smile in the New Year. Have much joy and always be at peace. Have no worries in the new year and be healthy for a long time."

Yu Linlang's eyes lit up, and she thought that it was really pleasant to sit face to face with the beauty and listen to the beauty reciting her congratulations tenderly.

Miss Yu smiled sincerely at him, "Then I wish Mr. Mu a safe and peaceful life. The youth will always be there, and it will be the same next year."

"Miss Linlang, would you like another bowl?"

"Since you asked, let's have another bowl."

Mu Zhao almost laughed out loud...

He thought the little girl's serious face under the fireworks was particularly interesting.

"Bang, bang bang!"

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

The watchman held the lantern and hunched his shoulders, raised his eyes and saw a drunken man staggering towards him.

He squinted his eyes for a long time to distinguish, "Is it Li Mazi? Why are you still wandering on the street in the middle of the night?"

"There is no martial law on New Year's Eve." Drunk Li Mazi waved his hands and stumbled a few steps away.

"Go back quickly. Weizhou City is not peaceful recently. Aren't you afraid of monsters killing people? You still dare to wander around on the road in the middle of the night. You are really drunk."

"Hey~" Li Mazi waved his hand, showing an indifferent expression, "You are stupid."

He drunkenly took a few steps forward, "The case has been solved. It was not a crime committed by a demon at all, but a man-made imitation. Where do demons come from in this world? They are all nonsense told by others to deceive children."

"Hey, stop drinking and go home quickly." The watchman stepped forward and pushed him, "Go away and stop wandering on the street."

With that said, the watchman ignored him and left with his clapper.

Li Mazi grunted and staggered to the corner. Suddenly, a long tongue wrapped around his body and he struggled to be dragged into the dark alley.

The watchman looked back and saw that there was no one there. He thought Li Mazi had left, so he banged his head and left.

Deep in the alley, blood-red pupils flashed away, and the sound of gnawing could be heard.
