222 Resemblance
Xuanyuan Yu’s trip was private, so he changed his name to Yuxuan and returned to the East Continent with Mo Beiyuan and the others.
Not many people on the East Continent had seen Emperor Wu’an before.
He just had to disguise himself a little and paste on a fake beard.
The group went straight to the small town outside the East Continent Imperial City and found the nanny who had seen Bai Wan before.
Before they could ask, the nanny became agitated and walked toward Yun Ran and the others. “Miss, Miss Bai Wan.”
At first, Yun Ran thought that she had mistaken her for Bai Wan because she was too old. However, when she realized that the old nanny was not calling her but Sweetcake, she was stunned.
“Granny, you’ve got the wrong person.”
Bai Wan and Little Sweetcake were at least two generations apart. How could they be related?
The old nanny’s son walked out and said with a smile, “My mother is old and her mind is not clear. I’m confused. Please don’t take offense.”
“It’s Miss Bai Wan. Where are Master and Madam? Where are the three young masters? Why did they leave Miss Bai Wan to these strangers?”
The old nanny was anxious and wanted to snatch Sweetcake from Mo Beiyuan’s arms.
Yun Ran knew that she had no ill intentions, so she gave Mo Beiyuan a look, carried Sweetcake over, and placed her on the ground.
The voice said gently, “We’re not bad people, and we’re not carrying her away. Look, she can play by herself.”
The old nanny heaved a sigh of relief.
Yun Ran asked the son, “Does she often mistake a baby this big for Bai Wan?”
The nanny’s son hurriedly shook his head. “No, this is the first time. My mother is muddle-headed, but she has never mistaken a child for Miss Bai Wan!”
Yun Ran’s eyes darkened. She rubbed her chin and pondered for a while. “That’s strange. Why did she mistake Sweetcake for Bai Wan?”
Bun was a child, so his thoughts were simpler. With a cool expression, he said coldly, “Perhaps Sweetcake looks very similar to Bai Wan when she was young, so this nanny mistook her for Bai Wan.”
Was it because Sweetcake was very similar to Bai Wan when she was young?
Something flashed through Yun Ran’s mind.
She thought of some possibilities. However, she would not say it out loud for the time being. Since there was no evidence, everything was just her guess.
They continued to ask the old nanny about Bai Wan.
The old nanny’s memories were probably in a mess, and her words were a little chaotic.
After a while, she pointed at Little Sweetcake and said, “Miss Bai Wan is here.”
After a while, she said that she had seen Miss Bai Wan in the town. She was pregnant and looked very pitiful.
Yun Ran saw that although her words were a little chaotic, she did not seem to be making it up.
When Bai Wan was mentioned, Xuanyuan Yu’s temper was like a powder keg that was about to explode.
Yun Ran was afraid that the old nanny would be scared silly before she could ask the last question.
She could only lower her voice and tell him not to be agitated.
“I’ll bring Sweetcake to talk to the old nanny. You guys should wait outside for now.”
After a while, Yun Ran walked out of the house.
Xuanyuan Yu strode forward and asked anxiously, “What did she say? Do you know where Bai Wan went?”
