"Mother, Daughter was useless and couldn't rescue Aunt Wen," Qiao Mu said expressionlessly.
Thankfully, this child was perpetually expressionless. Otherwise, she probably could not feign a believable guilty expression even if she had to.
"Silly child." The adults imagined the scene of the child "trying her best to chase after them but having to return helplessly" and all comforted her, "Silly girl, how old are you? It's already good that you could protect yourself."
"That's right." Father reflected, "Your safe return is all that matters."
Second Uncle sighed and summarized, "The future can't be predicted. Perhaps this is fate. Miss Wen is too unlucky and even said those unlucky words before leaving the house. She ended up…"
The child remained bereft of any expression on the surface but inwardly wanted to laugh. After Qiao Zhongbang and the others comforted her thoroughly and bade the crown prince farewell with a smile, they quickly sent the children to wash up and rest.
