Chapter 592 The Kidnapped

Jiang Ruochu opened her big eyes and said, "Sister, I'm going to find my grandmother."

Feng Jingyuan taught her everything except that there was a type of person called a bad person, in addition to the titles of older sister, older brother, father, mother, aunt, etc.

Looking at the soft, cuddly child, who neither cried nor fussed and didn't even realize she had been taken away, Qin Yunyan asked, "You seem lost. Can you find your way home?"

Jiang Ruochu had never been to the outskirts of the city, or even left the Jiang family mansion. She shook her head. “My home is called the Jiang family mansion. Can you take me home, sister?”

"Okay, I'll take you home." She couldn't bear to leave such a lovely child in the middle of nowhere. What had she done wrong? The ones who were wrong were Xiao Yu and her father.

"Thank you, sister." Jiang Ruochu had a sweet tongue and then asked, "What's your name, sister?"

"Tell your sister your name first."

Jiang Ruochu said directly, "My name is Xiao Chuchu."

"Your name is Jiang Cu, what a strange name. Did your grandmother give you that name?" She called her grandmother the most, and never even called her mother.

Jiang Ruochu repeated herself, her tongue curled, "Father said my name is Ruochu, not Jiang Cu."

"So your name is Jiang Ruochu." She then asked, "Where is your mother?"

"Mother has been sleeping, and then she woke up again. Mother doesn't like Xiao Chu." She couldn't sense her mother's affection, and a rare hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Qin Yunyan saw it; she had also heard that Jiang Jinyan's wife was supposedly dying.

Do you love your mother?

Jiang Ruochu grinned and said, "I love her. My grandmother said she is my dearest mother. I love my mother."

Qin Yunyan hugged her and said, "I'll take you back to the Jiang family. When you get home, don't mention that you've seen your sister, okay?"

Jiang Ruochu had a sweet tongue, "Okay, I won't say I've seen the pretty older sister. I'll ask my grandmother to make sweet cakes for her."

Qin Yunyan felt a sweet warmth in her heart, "My mother used to make sweet cakes for me, but she's gone forever."

"Don't cry, sister. Xiao Chu will sing for you. Xiao Chu can sing very well." She really didn't hold back and sang all the nursery rhymes that Feng Jingyuan had taught her.

“My mother can sing it too.” Qin Yunyan’s softest spot was touched, and she decided to return Jiang Ruochu to her. Even if she wanted revenge, her only enemies were her father and Xiao Yu.

She had actually sought out Xiao Yu, and even wanted to kill him, but she still fell into Xiao Yu's hands. In the end, Xiao Yu let her go. Where could she go? Her life had been ruined by them.

Just as Qin Yunyan was about to turn back with Jiang Ruochu in her arms, a group of people suddenly blocked her way. "We didn't expect to run into Miss Qin here."

Qin Yunyan's pupils turned pale with fright when she saw the person who came. "Aunt Zhao Jin, what are you doing here?" After Su Qingqing was captured, didn't they escape? How did they end up in Shengjing?

"You're quite fast," Zhao Jin said.

Qin Yunyan quickly explained, "Actually, I didn't know that Madam Su would be captured by the court, just like Aunt Jin. I was lucky to escape. To be honest, Aunt, I actually went back to Shengjing City on purpose. I thought that if they captured the Ninth Princess and Madam Su, they would definitely bring them back. I wanted to find an opportunity to rescue Madam Su."

Zhao Jin said, "We returned to Shengjing to find an opportunity to save Madam, so that her kindness to you and her treating you like a younger sister would not have been in vain."

Qin Yunyan already knew that Su Qingqing actually wanted to use her, because one day she overheard Su Qingqing saying that she was going to offer her to the Hu tribe king. She heard that the Hu tribe king was already over sixty years old, but Su Qingqing had already become the Hu tribe king's wife and was going to push her into the Hu tribe.

Now the Hu tribe has been destroyed by the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Hu king is dead, the prince is dead, and the Hu territory has been occupied by the Great Zhou army. Now, the Su family's lackeys still want to rescue Su Qingqing, which is probably harder than climbing to heaven.

Qin Yunyan held the child. If they knew the child in her arms belonged to the Jiang family, they would definitely kill her. She had to find a way to send Jiang Ruochu back to the Jiang family.

She said, "Since we're both going to Shengjing, let's go together! Madam will definitely be brought back, and then we'll find a chance to rescue her."

Zhao Jin said, "We don't need to go back to Shengjing now; we need to head to the Northwest."

"What are you going to the Northwest for?" Qin Yunyan asked, puzzled.

“Madam has been rescued. We received a secret message from her; she is in the Northwest. We are going to meet her,” Zhao Jin explained, then added, “Come with us!”

Qin Yunyan was stunned and didn't know what to do. She didn't want to be with Su Qingqing anymore. Once she was no longer of any use, Su Qingqing would give her to that bastard.

Zhao Jin saw that she was holding a cute little girl who looked like an elf, and asked, "Who are you holding?"

"I just picked up a little girl on the road. She's lost. I don't know how her parents could be so careless," Qin Yunyan said quickly.

Jiang Ruochu noticed that the people opposite her looked rather fierce. She wasn't one to get close to just anyone, and she didn't introduce herself. Instead, she held tightly to Qin Yunyan's neck.

Zhao Jin, sword in hand, glared at Jiang Ruochu, then suddenly snuggled into Qin Yunyan's arms.

Zhao Jin said, "Leave her here, her parents will come back to find her. You come with us!"

“It’s too dangerous to leave such a young child here alone. I’d better wait a bit. Aunt Jin, you can go ahead first. I’ll come find you later.”

"Let's go together!" Zhao Jin then asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"

Jiang Ruochu kept her mouth shut.

Qin Yunyan was stunned. Wasn't she quite eloquent just now? It turns out she could distinguish between good and bad.

Qin Yunyan didn't expect that she had unconsciously categorized herself as a good person. She wanted to seize power and become a superior person. She felt that she was not wrong. Which woman in the palace didn't want power and benefits? Who didn't want to become an empress?

"I asked for a long time, but the child is probably too young to know anything."

"I think I heard children singing just now," Zhao Jin said, puzzled.

Qin Yunyan quickly replied, "I asked her name, but all she knows is singing. I don't know why, maybe her mother sings for her!"

Zhao Jin said, "Let's go quickly. We just came from that side and saw soldiers everywhere. We don't know what happened. This child looks like she comes from a wealthy family. If we take her with us, we might be able to sell her and get some money."

“How could Aunt Jin bear to sell such a young child?”

"Don't you know that Qingzhou has suffered a natural disaster? We will pass through Qingzhou on our way to the Northwest. If we run out of money for food on the way, this pretty and cute little girl can be sold for a lot of money."

Qin Yunyan knew that the Su family's business was not honorable. Just like back in Shengjing, they had always hidden in brothels and had seen all sorts of romantic scenes. Could Zhao Jin be planning to sell her into a brothel?

By this time, it was too late for her to send Jiang Ruochu back. She had no idea what excuse to use to go back. She was already on the Su family's ship, and it would be difficult for her to get off.

Qin Yunyan thought: She had no choice but to find a chance to escape, and for now, she would stay with them.

Zhao Jin and the others will not return to Shengjing. Their stronghold has long been raided by the government, and there are not many of them left. Going back would only mean certain death.

They didn't know who saved the lady; they only knew to follow orders.
