They still managed to leave the palace safely. Some distance away from the palace gates, An Xuetang patted her side, and then Shuangshuang slowly crawled out from behind An Xuetang’s back.
Over all these years, Shuangshuang has learned to conceal her aura to avoid those in the palace. As long as they are not particularly skilled, it is truly difficult for them to detect her presence.
And she was also small and thin, when she hunched over she truly became a tiny ball, hiding behind An Xuetang like that. It would be hard for ordinary people to notice her.
Especially, An Xue Tang even used beauty tactics on the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, distracting him so that he didn’t focus on checking the carriage.
This way, it’s indeed easy to pass.
After leaving, Shuangshuang caught sight of Moyun Jing’s gloomy face. She looked back at An Xuetang again, thinking she must have stained her clothes, so Moyun Jing was angry.
She quickly lowered her head, looking slightly wronged as she said to An Xue Tang, “I’m… sorry.”
An Xuetang was taken aback. She had been focusing on how to appease Mo Yunjing’s anger, and even Shuangshuang could see that Mo Yunjing was unhappy. How could she possibly not notice?
She had thought of this when she was using the beauty trick, that Mo Yun Jing would definitely overturn vinegar jar, so she had been thinking in her mind how to appease him.
Now that she suddenly heard Shuangshuang apologize, she was taken aback. Seeing Shuangshuang’s wronged expression, and then glancing at Mo Yunjing’s sulking face, An Xuetang quickly reached out and patted Shuangshuang’s head:
Shuang Shuang cautiously looked at Mo Yun Jing, how could she not be afraid of the terrifying aura emanating from this man?
An Xue Tang knew that Mo Yun Jing was very angry now, and it was frightening. So she quickly whispered in his ear:
“Ajing, when we close the door tonight, I’ll explain everything to you properly, okay? This way scares Biubi now.”
Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, and sure enough, the terrifying aura around him lessened after hearing her say that.
At this time, he looked at ShuShu, his bottomless eyes fixed on her, “What’s your name?”
To be honest, Mo Yunjing’s accusatory tone made even An Xuetang uncomfortable, let alone Shuangshuang who trembled in fear.
However, trembling as she was, Shuangshuang still answered truthfully, “Shuang…Shuangshuang.”
Mo Yunjing frowned, “This king wants to hear the full name.”
And Xue Tang was also looking at Shuangshuang. To be honest, she also wanted to hear the full name.
But Shuangshuang shook her head.
Seeing her shake her head, An Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing looked at each other. Both of them were a little unclear about what she meant by shaking her head. Was it that she didn’t want to say, or that she didn’t know?
To avoid scaring Biubiubiu with Mo Yunjing’s cold demeanor, An Xuetang softened her gaze and looked at Biubiubiu first, asking:
“Shuangshuang, are you shaking your head because you don’t want to tell us your full name? It’s okay. As long as you don’t want to say it, we won’t ask again. Don’t feel pressured.”
Shuangshuang shook her head again, “No… not that. I… I just don’t know if I have a full name. As long as I can remember, Auntie Dong has always called me Shuangshuang. She never mentioned having a full name for me.”
“…”
Ah, I see.
Anshetang and Moyunjing looked at each other, both of them instantly thinking the same thing: the meaning of “double” might not be simple.
After a moment of silence, An Xuetang spoke again, “Shuangshuang, do you know how old you are?”
“To this question, ShuShu again shook her head and said, ‘I don’t know.'”
“And what about the date of birth, do you know when they were born?”
“I don’t know.”
Every question An Xuetang asked, Shuangshuang would shake her head. Besides teaching her how to survive and how to speak, Dong GuGu had told her almost nothing. She hadn’t even revealed what Shuangshuang’s identity was.
Mo Yunjing was a little displeased with Shuangshuang’s cluelessness. His expression had darkened at this point.
Shuangshuang shrank her body. She wasn’t afraid of Moyun Jing, but she felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by so many strangers today.
Before today, she had never spoken to anyone except for her Aunt Winter.
An Xue Tang thought she had asked too many questions, so causing Shuangshuang to feel a little resentful and afraid. She didn’t continue talking now, patted Shuangshuang’s head:
“Okay, we’re not going to ask anymore. Don’t worry, we’ll be home soon.”
Home?
The word ‘home’ was a foreign concept to Shuangshuang. She pursed her lips, remained silent, and in her heart, she repeatedly questioned herself, “Do I have a home?”
Shortly after, the carriage entered the Beijang Royal Manor. To avoid prying eyes outside, the carriage drove straight through a side gate and brought An Xuetang and her companions back to Jingtang Garden.
Mo Yunjing got out of the carriage first. An Xuetang wanted to get down on her own, but Mo Yunjing picked her up and carried her straight into the room.
An Xue Tang exclaimed in surprise, she was a little uncomfortable with so many people around. She quickly patted Mo Yun Jing’s chest and said, “A Jing, what are you doing? Put me down first.”
Mo Yunjing’s temper flared, and naturally he wouldn’t listen to her at this moment.
An Xuetang had no choice but to turn to look at Shuangshuang and the others behind her. She said to Shuangshuang, “Shuangshuang, you follow Ning’er and Shou’er, those two elder sisters, and let them take care of you first.”
