Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?
Fo...
When Zhen Wanwan heard these familiar words in the carriage, she felt a black line appear on her forehead, utterly speechless.
Ah Yue said coldly, "We've encountered bandits! Don't be afraid, my lady, I'll go and take care of them right away!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than A-Yue rolled up her sleeves, ready to draw her sword and go out to wreak havoc.
Zhen Wanwan did not stop them, but said calmly, "Remember to leave them alive. Since bandits have appeared here, they must have accomplices. We need to find a way to interrogate their associates."
This road is the only way for ordinary people to enter the city. If there are bandits lurking here, it will be dangerous for the people.
A-Yue responded and went out. In just a few breaths, she heard a pitiful scream coming from outside.
The next second, A-Yue poked her head in and asked, "Wife, should we send these two people directly to the county government or hand them over to the master to take out?"
Zhen Fugui is off work today and should be helping out at home. This place is a detour from the county town; going straight will take you directly to Meizi Village.
After thinking it over, Zhen Wanwan felt that the bandits were very dangerous and that they needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"Ah Yue, let's go to the county government office first, we need to hurry!"
A-Yue and Ma Xiao-Si worked together to tie up the two bandits, and only after confirming that the two could not escape did they feel at ease tying them to the outside of the car.
A-Yue sat outside to watch over the two of them. Ma Xiao-Si knew the seriousness of the matter and sped off to the county town.
After Zhen Wanwan and the others left, a few people suddenly appeared on the spot. They looked at each other and saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.
They were ordered to follow the two men to find out if they had any accomplices, but they unexpectedly encountered the lady on the way!
Moreover, these two idiots actually dared to try to rob the lady; did they want to die even faster?
"Boss, what do we do now?" one of the masked men asked hesitantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, the leader said, "Clean this up and catch up with Madam and the others!"
Soon, the bloodstains on the ground were wiped away, restoring the area to its original state.
Zhen Wanwan and her companions arrived in the county town without incident. After entering the town, they did not stop but headed straight for the county government office.
Ma Xiaosi knocked on the county government office door, and soon a constable opened the door.
This constable had accompanied Magistrate Chen to Meizi Village and knew him as Zhuyuan's servant.
Ma Xiaosi bowed respectfully and explained, "Sir, my master was intercepted by these two bandits in the forest today on his way back from a banquet. They were captured by my guards and brought here. We would like to request that the magistrate interrogate their accomplices..."
The constable exclaimed in surprise, "Bandits? Wait a moment! I'll inform the sir right away!"
In previous years, there were still bandits in their county. In recent years, as people's lives have improved, the government has also seized many bandit dens from time to time.
In the past two years, there have been almost no reports of bandits appearing on any mountain peaks, and this time they even dared to intercept that person's family members. They really don't know what's good for them!
After hearing the constable's words, Magistrate Chen was so frightened that he could hardly stand. He knew the man's temper!
This time, under his rule, his family even encountered bandits. If that person finds out, it could be fatal!
Magistrate Chen hurriedly put on his official robes and rushed to the front office. He saw that two bandits had already been dragged in by A-Yue and were kneeling on the ground.
Zhen Wanwan did not appear; she was afraid the children would see her and it would be bad, so she stayed in the carriage with them.
Granny Zhang followed A-Yue and Ma Xiao Si in.
Upon seeing Magistrate Chen approach, she politely bowed to him.
"This humble woman greets Magistrate Chen. I hope Magistrate Chen will forgive me, but my two young masters are still too young to witness this scene. Therefore, my wife must remain in the carriage with them."
Magistrate Chen waved his hand: "Is your wife injured?"
Granny Zhang smiled and shook her head: "No, it's all thanks to my girl, who learned a few moves of martial arts from her master."
Magistrate Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Zhen Wanwan was alright. If she had lost even a single hair, he was afraid that the person would have gone crazy.
"That's good. I hope this old woman can tell me the truth about what happened."
Granny Zhang briefly recounted what had happened, with Ma Xiaosi and A Yue adding details.
After listening, Magistrate Chen frowned. He had been to the place that Zhang Mama and the others had mentioned countless times, but he had never found a bandit's den there.
Could it have been established just today?
Regardless of when he was caught, now that Zhen Wanwan and the others have caught him, he has to do his job.
Immediately, Magistrate Chen ordered the constables in the county office to search the hills over there.
The two bandits were also dragged into the dungeon for interrogation.
Zhen Wanwan felt relieved that everything was handled properly.
After dealing with the bandits, the group set off to go home.
Sweetie was still listless, which worried Zhen Wanwan, so she went to the county clinic.
The doctor said that Tianbao's illness was caused by accumulated worries, and that she should pay attention to rest and avoid too much stress.
Zhen Wanwan was stunned. How old was her sweet baby? How could she have developed an illness from worry?
She's still at the age of drinking milk, what worries or pressures could she possibly have that she's under so much pressure?
Sweetie was also very flustered. Although she was as old as a baby, she had lived two lifetimes in her heart.
He must have been thinking a lot, and today he also recalled his past life. Without realizing it, he revealed thoughts that were not appropriate for his age.
On the way home, the carriage was quiet, but Zhen Wanwan, holding Tianbao, began to feel uneasy.
The thought kept flashing through her mind was that everything Sweetie had done since birth was unlike that of a normal child.
She had a strong suspicion that her sweet baby might be...
Zhen Wanwan tried hard to suppress her thoughts about this, because she was unwilling to accept this outcome.
For example, the dream she had when she gave birth to Tianbao left her with lingering fear.
If things are really as she expected, then it's understandable why Tianbao is so resistant to Madam Fang!
And my reaction when facing Madam Fang—now that I think about it, I realize I've overlooked so many things in the past.
Zhen Wanwan gritted her teeth and comforted herself, "It's okay. No matter what, Tianbao is happy now!"
She has a loving brother, a loving mother, a loving father, grandparents, and other relatives.
"Sweetie~ You are my precious darling. No matter what, you will always be my most precious daughter."
Zhen Wanwan kissed Tianbao's forehead, hugged her tightly, and coaxed her.
Sweetie froze, sensing that her mother had discovered something!
Moreover, the way her mother looked at her today was a bit strange, as if she could see right through her body and reach the depths of her soul.
Guai Bao silently watched all of this. The question that had been puzzling her seemed to have an answer, but she was still not sure.
The little boy glanced at his delicate little sister, his heart filled with a protective instinct. He knew he had to eat more and grow up quickly so he could better protect his sister and mother!
