"Tong'er?"
Yaoyao called out in surprise when she saw the maid's face.
Tong'er stopped wiping her tears and lifted her head.
When she saw it was the Second Princess calling her, she could not help sobbing out loud and cried even louder.
"Second Princess…"
Yaoyao walked over to her. "What's wrong? What happened here? Where is Princess Ji'er?"
It was better if Yaoyao had said nothing. The mention of Ji'er made Tong'er cry even louder. She sobbed quite hysterically.
"Princess Ji'er, she… Sob sob!"
Yaoyao's heart sank. She held Tong'er by the shoulders. "Stop crying and explain whatever happened here. Where is Princess Ji'er?"
Tong'er was about to say something amidst her sobs when Qing He came over.
Her eyes were red as well and she choked on her sobs while saying, "Why have you returned so late, Princess? Princess Ji'er has left many days ago and the general can't find her anywhere."
