Qingdai whispered to Zhu Lan that she and Xinghuang had just been observing the surroundings and noticed a few suspicious people lurking near the Sun family.

Zhu Lan was at Ahu's house just now, so his whereabouts might have been exposed.

Zhu Lan was not surprised.

Those people must have been sent by the Gui family. Their goal was to bring Yan Tiao back. Unless necessary, they were unwilling to have a head-on conflict with me.

Fortunately, I found Yan Tiao quickly enough, otherwise if it was a day or two later, I'm afraid Yan Tiao would have been taken away.

There must be some kind of token between the young family and Aunt Sun that allows them to smoothly take over Yan Tiao from Aunt Sun.

The reason why they are waiting nearby now is to wait for Aunt Sun to come home.

Zhu Lan thought about it in his mind and said to Qing Dai:

"Qingdai, go find Lu Xiaozi right now and ask him to take you to the best medicine shop in town.

Remember, you must ask Lu Xizi to speak up, otherwise you are a stranger and they may not dare to sell some things to you."

…

In the evening, a carriage stopped at an intersection not far from the Sun family.

A man in black quietly approached the carriage and whispered, "Son, that woman just entered the Sun family. Should we take action in advance?"

Mao sat in the carriage and thought for a while:

“My cousin said it’s best not to make a fuss about this matter, so let’s just wait and see.

Aunt Sun will not give the child to her. We will wait until she is driven away and then take the child away.

She is the Imperial Censor, she can't really snatch the child from the Zhou family."

"But what if..."

"If she really robs it, we can take action, that's called upholding justice.

To protect the orphans and widows who were bullied, it is justified to kill the thieves with one's own hands. "

Mao was somewhat proud.

…

Aunt Sun appeared at the end of the road carrying a basket.

She first knocked on Ahu's door, chatted with Ahu's mother, and then took Yan Tiao back.

She took a few more steps back to her door and pushed it open before entering the house.

The room was dark. She lit the oil lamp and turned around, nearly frightened to death.

A young woman was sitting quietly on a chair in the room, staring at him intently.

Aunt Sun screamed in fear and tried to step back, but found that the door had been closed at some point.

Zhu Lan said softly: "Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."

Seeing that she was a pretty girl, Aunt Sun took a special look at her shadow on the wall and confirmed that she was a human and not a ghost. Only then did her fear dissipate slightly.

"Who are you and why are you coming into my house!?"

Aunt Sun held Yan Tiao in her arms and asked bravely.

"It doesn't matter who I am." Zhu Lan snapped his fingers.

Aunt Sun felt a slight chill on her neck, and then her scalp exploded.

There was actually someone hiding in the room. That person was standing behind him, with a dagger against his throat!

Zhu Lan's voice came:

“You have no children, and you were entrusted by a big shot to take care of this child. You must have deep feelings for him, right?

Now they are taking this child away and you will never see him again."

Aunt Sun's face turned even paler, and she subconsciously protected Yan Tiao a little tighter.

The thing she was most worried about happened.

Zhu Lan noticed her change and knew that he was not wrong.

Sure enough, although the family's plan was ingenious, they underestimated a mother's feelings - even if the child was not her own.

Zhu Lan stood up and approached step by step against the candlelight.

She looked into Aunt Sun's eyes, her tone sounding seductive yet carrying an unquestionable pressure.

"Now do as I say, and I will ensure that you and your child will not be separated, and you will no longer have to worry about someone taking your child away from you.

But if you don't obey, I will have no choice but to reunite you and the child forever... in another way."

(ps. Something happened at home, so I don’t have much time to write these days. I don’t want to write the last climax too hastily, so I can only slow down the update speed for a few days to ensure the quality of the ending. Thank you for your company and understanding along the way!)
