Upon hearing Dou Dou's words, Nian Shutong did not immediately reply.
Dou Dou, who was sitting opposite, broke into a radiant smile. There was a hint of certainty in his smile. In this moment, he was the Crown Prince, not Dou Dou.
"Auntie, I want to go back, and I definitely will go back. The Wu Family thinks I'm dead. The Royal Family has a secret passage, and I know it. I came to find you because I don't want you to be kept in the dark. I don't want to hide anything from you."
Nian Shutong looked at the child in front of her, clearly just an eight-year-old, but the maturity in his eyes was no less than that of an adult.
"Dou Dou, I believe you've seriously considered this issue, but as your aunt, I must tell you, while this plan seems good, if the Wu Family discovers you, you're as good as dead."
"Auntie won't be able to save you in time. Your Speech Spirit Technique has just been inherited and can't possibly counter the Wu Family. Are you sure you've thought this through?"
