Chapter 153 Misunderstandings Abound
Bai Yulan thought to herself, and sure enough, her previous guess was completely correct.
The girls looked at each other, exchanging glances that seemed to convey a silent understanding.
Immediately afterwards, they all nodded vigorously, clearly indicating their complete acceptance and acquiescence to what Bai Yulan had said.
At this moment, Bai Yulan turned her gaze to them, her eyes revealing a deep sense of pity.
She knew she was powerless to save these girls from their plight and could do nothing to help them with the choices they had made.
Fortunately, during her short but eventful life journey, she was fortunate enough to meet a kind and upright man—her employer.
It was this employer who came to her rescue, giving her a new life and hope.
Bai Yulan knew very well that it would be harder than climbing to heaven to get these girls to give up the wealth and glory that were so close at hand.
After all, each of them has their own birth mother and siblings who need care and concern. These few words alone are enough to bind their wings that yearn to soar freely.
Nevertheless, Bai Yulan still held onto a sliver of hope, silently hoping to hear them say, "Sister, I don't want to go home, take me with you!"
Unfortunately, she never got to hear those words.
However, she did not blame anyone or complain about so-called human weaknesses because she deeply understood the predicament these girls were in and the responsibilities they bore.
Finally, Bai Yulan tilted her head slightly towards them, a relieved and comforting smile spreading across her face, and said softly, "We're already on the outskirts of the capital. Don't worry, we'll arrange for people to escort you into the city... Whether you go home or not is entirely up to you! We can only say goodbye until we meet again!"
The girls' eyes were red, and glistening tears welled up in them, as if they were about to fall at any moment. But they held back their tears and stood there silently, expressing their deep gratitude in a wordless way.
Meanwhile, Tang Luo quietly blended into the crowd, glancing into the distance every now and then, thinking to herself, "Father must be extremely worried right now. I left the palace without a word, and so much time has passed. Father must have already discovered my disappearance. He certainly won't be as indifferent as this sister said."
Thinking of this, Tang Luo couldn't help but shake her head slightly. She firmly believed that her father must have already sent people to search for her everywhere.
For some reason, I still haven't been able to find my whereabouts.
Perhaps they encountered some unexpected situation along the way, or perhaps the clues were interrupted, leading to a stalemate in the search.
But no matter what, as long as I can return to the palace as soon as possible, my father will no longer need to worry so much.
However, Tang Luo, with her delicate mind, was not as easily fooled as other girls.
Just now, she clearly heard the young man say the word "boss".
As soon as the skinny man mentioned those two words, he was immediately pulled away by the woman in front of him.
It's obvious that they're hiding some secrets from others.
Just now, when everyone heard that the sister who saved them was currently in critical condition, he clearly saw deep sorrow and remembrance on everyone's face.
Surprisingly, when the skinny man appeared, the emotions of these people changed instantly.
Although sadness and grief still exist, the feeling seems to be merely superficial, not originating from the deepest, most genuine emotions within.
Especially when the skinny man mentioned that there was something important to deal with in the shop, Zhu Zi seemed completely unaware of it and looked blank; but the shopkeeper's reaction was completely different. He showed no surprise at all, but instead showed a knowing and confident demeanor.
Looking back at those words, at first glance they seemed to be for everyone's benefit, but upon closer examination, they subtly revealed a hint of threat.
After this observation and reflection, Tang Luo roughly made a judgment: presumably, the identity of this savior sister is extraordinary, and for some reason she does not want others to know it, which is why these people are so eager to hide her true identity.
How similar this situation was to her own! Even though no one in this group could match her noble status, she still chose to remain hidden, because she knew that revealing her identity might not bring her any benefit.
Therefore, the sister who saved his life must have had the same thought.
Tang Luo then put aside her sadness, pursed her lips, and felt happy at the thought of seeing her father soon.
But Tang Luo's smile met Xiao Shi's eyes: "I told you that it was unnecessary for my sister to save her. Such a person is heartless. My sister's life is uncertain, and she still has the nerve to smile here."
Xiao Shi clenched his fists, about to rush forward, when Bai Yulan quickly pulled him back, whispering, "Don't be impulsive, she might have her own ideas." Xiao Shi snorted coldly, but didn't move.
Tang Luo naturally noticed the commotion. She slowly approached and curtsied to Bai Yulan. "Sister, thank you for saving me. I will remember it forever. Although I don't know what difficulties you have that require you to hide your identity, I will keep it a secret."
Bai Yulan was slightly taken aback, not expecting Tang Luo to be so insightful, that the little girl in front of her had guessed her thoughts perfectly.
Tang Luo's expression suddenly changed, and she said to Bai Yulan with a smile, "Sister, you don't need to escort me into the city. I can find my way home. Let's part ways here."
Bai Yulan knew that everyone had their own secrets they didn't want others to know, so she didn't press further about why she wouldn't let them see her off. She simply nodded and left with the group of children.
Tang Luo stopped in place until they were out of sight. The guard walked up to her and knelt down: "Princess, I am late."
Tang Luo didn't even lift her eyelids: "It's not too late, it's just right."
The guards sensed the same chilling aura emanating from the young princess as they had from the regent.
Just then, the sound of hooves came from afar, and a fine horse galloped towards them, its rider dashing and heroic. "Father!" Tang Luo exclaimed in delight. It turned out her father had been following the clues all along.
Tang Luo's father dismounted and embraced Tang Luo tightly, saying, "My child, I've finally found you."
The guard saw the princess run innocently towards the regent and cry in his arms. He wondered if he had just imagined it. How could a little girl like her have such a powerful aura emanating from the regent?
