"Xiaosu, you're out. Aren't you sick? Hurry back and lie down. "
"No, aunt, tell me, how is the child?"
Mother Ding stepped forward to help her leave, "Madam, please don't ask. The child has already left. How would you view her good fortune in the future?"
Su Zhi pulled back her hand and stepped forward to hold onto the aunt. "Please, tell me."
"Sigh, it was our family's Elder Huang who met her after leaving Xuan City. That little girl seems to have been abandoned again, and she looks pitiful."
Discarded again?
Su Zhi had thought that they wouldn't treat their children well, but due to her last bit of trust and pity for Zhou family, she was willing to return her child.
"I'll go get the child!"
Mother Ding objected and stopped her. "Madam, how are you getting out of the city?"
Su Zhi couldn't care so much. When she heard that her child was suffering, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She was the one who brought back the Soybean Pancake, so she should be held responsible if anything happened to it.
"I'll go and see. I can't really let my child be abandoned again."
"Why don't we do this? I'll ask Bi Yue to go find the child so that you can rest in peace."
She wasn't at ease even if she was asked to go by herself, as she was afraid that another accident would occur.
In the end, under Su Zhi's insistence, she was allowed to take Bi Yue out of the city.
The last time she had left Xuan City, she had been hunted down. If it weren't for Xiao Qian's hidden guards and Lu Huan Zhi's rescue, she probably would have been dead by now.
Looking through these events, it wasn't hard for Su Zhi to discover that someone wanted to take her life, but when she thought about her child, she couldn't care less.
"The auntie of the Huang family said that Sister Lan was found on the main road. Maybe that family member was the one that lost her child on the way back."
Bi Yue lifted the curtain and looked outside. When she looked back, Su Zhi's expression didn't look too good, so she continued to comfort her, "Madam, don't worry. We'll have enough reasons to keep our child when we find Sister Lan."
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to her request just because I felt sorry for Madame Zhou."
"Madam is also kind, but who would have thought that the woman was someone who didn't keep her word?"
Su Zhi shook her head helplessly. Perhaps the one who wanted to lose her child wasn't Zhou family, but her mother-in-law.
"Pay close attention to the movement outside. Maybe the child is nearby."
Bi Yue nodded and continued to look at the situation outside.
When the carriage passed by the long road in the forest, there were two bright long arrows aimed at the carriage.
Swoosh! Two long arrows darted out of the air. One of them was facing the coachman, while the other one was facing the woman who looked worried in the window.
Clang! - The arrow was shot down midway.
Bi Yue was frightened as she hurriedly put down the curtain.
"Don't be afraid, once we find the child, we'll immediately return to the city!"
Su Zhi knew that the people behind her were making their move again. Using her child as bait to lure her out of the city, they were certain that she would go. They had definitely set up an ambush along the way.
However, she wasn't completely unprepared. After all, she had suffered a loss in secret and knew how to protect herself.
"Madam, there's an assassin up ahead!" cried the coachman, not having time to tighten the reins.
Su Zhi lifted the curtain and shouted harshly, "Cover your mouth and nose!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw out a few smoke cannonballs, blocking the assassin's line of sight. The shadow guard took this opportunity to attack while he was hidden in the dark. He swiftly swung his long sword, instantly taking care of the few men in black who were blocking his way.
"They're catching up!"
"You just drive. Don't worry about anything else. Bi Yue, pay attention to your child's movements. Don't panic!"
In the nick of time, Su Zhi appeared abnormally calm. She took out the tear gas she carried with her and threw it at the place where the black clothed person came from.
Before the assassin could even get close, he was forced back.
Within the blurry light and shadow, a few gunshots could be heard. The leader of the group, a man in black, had his shoulder injured and was forced to give up on chasing.
Su Zhi touched the mini pistol in her hand, feeling very satisfied.
The System's Pit was a Pit, so the quality of the items was guaranteed.
"Madam, I can't see the child, and I didn't hear anything!" Besides the assassins that wanted to kill her along the way, she couldn't find the slightest trace of a child.
"Continue searching!" In order to lure her in, she must have hidden it somewhere.
This road was the only convenient place in the outskirts of the city, outside of which were inns and villages. The main force of the assassins should be stationed here, so the children must also be in this place.
Bi Yue was already used to being a servant girl in a large courtyard house, so her days were always peaceful. Even if it wasn't peaceful, she only had a few quarrels with the little girls. She had never experienced all this before. Seeing the man in black about to slash with his broadsword, Xiao Yun was so shocked that his face paled.
Su Zhi was still relatively calm. Although she was worried, her movements were still fast and accurate.
"This is bad!"
As soon as the driver issued the warning, the carriage crashed into the rocks by the side of the road.
Receiving the violent impact, Bi Yue was taken out of the carriage. Su Zhi could not catch her and was brought out with her.
Shouts and exclamations, the clashing of blades and swords, and the urgent cries rang in his ears. again
There was a long period of unconsciousness after that. Su Zhi felt her entire body heat up. Someone helped her wipe her body clean over and over again, gently calling her name. But she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
After an unknown period of time, when she regained consciousness again, it was already dark.
A kerosene lamp had been lit inside the room, and the dim yellow light made half the room seem quiet and serene. She moved her numb arm and found that it was injured and bandaged.
"Ah Zhi, you're awake?"
The man's gentle voice sounded out. Su Zhi looked towards the bedside and saw a travel worn Xiao Qian sitting on the side with a small bean bag in his arms.
"They're all confused by the illness." Shouldn't Xiao Qian still be searching for the traitor's whereabouts?
"I'm not confused, we're back."
He placed the child on the bed and placed his hand on her forehead. "The fever has subsided. One more day of rest will be enough."
Xiao Qian's hand was very warm and was covered in a thin cocoon. Every time he touched her, it would give off a slightly coarse and numb feeling.
That's right, it was a very familiar feeling.
"You, really came back?"
"En, I'm back. I'm really sorry for making you and your child suffer."
He leaned over and kissed her forehead, his warm lips moving away from her delicate face.
The child at the side opened his big watery eyes, clapped his small hands, and happily said, "I want to kiss ~"
Only then did Su Zhi realize that the child was still at the side.
She pushed Xiao Qian away and held the innocent and childish child in her arms. A strong feeling of nostalgia arose in her heart.
"Sorry, Mom shouldn't have sent you out."
She put her plump arms around her arms and held her silky long hair with her small hands as she smiled sweetly. The child was still young, so he would soon forget about his unhappiness. As long as he could return to his mother's side, he would be happy.
Tears of guilt fell from Su Zhi's eyes. Holding her in his arms, he instantly felt the joy of recovering what he had lost.
"How did you find the child?"
Xiao Qian embraced the two of them and said softly, "That woman was given up by my husband the moment she left Xuan City. The small bean bag cried non-stop the entire way; they don't want to keep it and only let the two of them fend for themselves. When I found them, this woman almost had a baby with her. "
Hearing this, Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She regretted returning the child because she was soft-hearted.
Madame Zhou had a weak character and could not even take care of a good child. If Xiao Qian had not arrived in time, who knew what would have happened to the child?
"This child calls me father. I have always been a domineering person. I don't like it when people try to take advantage of my child."
Su Zhi took his hand and placed it on her face, rubbing it back and forth, "It's good that you're back."
Seeing her acting like a little girl, Xiao Qian was very satisfied. His woman wasn't that strong to begin with, she would have to live too arduously. With him around, it wouldn't be a bad idea to rely on her husband.
"Right, where's A Jin?"
"I'm punishing the face wall, I heard from Mother Ding that the bastard has roared at you."
Su Zhi shook her head. "It's my fault. I didn't handle this matter well. I can't blame all of them." A Jin had always been a well-behaved girl, but she had a pure heart and was reluctant to part with her family.
"Call him in. I have something to say."
Xiao Qian did as he was told and got up to find Ah Jin to send him back to his room.
