"Did Madam Bai also suffer head injuries?" Wei Mingxuan asked.
"That's not the case." Madam Bai shook her head and sighed, "There have been so many unexpected events recently. At first, my sister-in-law was holding on on the journey, but when we reached Beiguan, her heartstrings relaxed a little, and she couldn't hold on any longer."
Although Madam Bai looks frail, she is not a fragile person. If she had not been so nervous along the way and cooperated with Madam Bai who was like a stabilizing force, the Bai family would not have been able to arrive at Beiguan safely with so many people.
But she protected others but failed to protect her own daughters.
Her husband and son died on the battlefield, and her two daughters disappeared on the way to exile. If it weren't for the children left behind by her eldest daughter who needed care, Madam Bai would probably have collapsed and fallen ill on the day she arrived at Beiguan.
She is able to maintain this state now by gritting her teeth and persevering.
Compared with the first wife, the situation of the second wife of the Bai family is much better. Although their husbands also died on the battlefield, the second wife of the Bai family has two daughters. The husband's family is affectionate and righteous. They did not divorce the daughter of the Bai family and send her back home just because the Bai family committed a crime. The younger one also followed her safely all the way.
In addition, the concubine Fang and her son, who was registered under the name of the main wife, also came safely to Beiguan.
Of course, this only applies to larger rooms.
If we go back to two or three months ago, who could have imagined that their Bai family would end up in this state?
"Actually, I'm not so worried about my sister-in-law now." Mrs. Bai glanced inside the house.
Previously, Madam Bai was in a daze and mentally confused because her husband died in the war and her children also died or went missing. She had completely lost the will to live.
And now that Fourth Miss Bai has been found, she looks like this again...
Even in order to take good care of her daughter, Mrs. Bai would take a deep breath, cheer herself up, and regain her former strength.
"It's just that Ah Zhi..."
"Miss Wei, tell me the truth, is there any hope for Ah Zhi to recover?"
"Of course there is." Wei Yunlan was not sure, but Doctor Yu did not sentence Fourth Miss Bai to death for her illness, so there was no need for her to pour cold water on the Bai family.
In the current situation, it is better for them to live in hope than in despair.
"Azhiduo's condition has actually improved a lot since we first met her. Her external injuries have healed, and the blood clots on her head have also dissipated. The only thing left is her mental problems."
"Heart disease needs heart medicine to cure it..."
Wei Yunlan hinted at something, and Mrs. Bai frowned, her face becoming even more worried.
She was not Madam Bai who was still kept in the dark. She knew very well what these heart disease and heart medicine referred to.
"Mother-in-law is already trying to find a solution for this matter, but there is no news from Mingwei yet."
Mingwei was referring to the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
Counting the time, it has been nearly half a month since she was taken away from Danyun City.
Even if the movement was slow, after such a long time, the people should have been sent to the territory of the Northern Barbarians.
The barbarians are a nomadic people. At this time, finding her whereabouts in the vast grasslands of the northern barbarians is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Fortunately, the imperial court has now begun a thorough investigation into the matter of Huangzhou. After layer upon layer of investigation, at least they can find out which tribe of the northern barbarians those women who were sent away were sent to. This will help narrow the scope of the search.
The night gradually deepened.
Fourth Miss Bai woke up once during the sleep and saw Madam Bai sitting beside her bed. She did not react much. After drinking the medicine obediently, she lay down again and fell asleep soon after.
It was getting late, and the Wei family had been busy all day, so it was time to rest.
Madam Bai, I'm sorry to bother you any further.
Mrs. Bai didn't want to leave her daughter's side.
As they were talking, Miss Bai woke up on the bed. Madam Bai softened her voice and asked expectantly, "Azhi, would you like to go home with mother?"
There was a hint of panic in Miss Bai Si's confused eyes. She hugged her knees with her hands and shrank to the corner of the bed.
Seeing Wei Yunlan walk into the room, his mouth drooped and he spoke with some grievance, "Sister Wei..."
Wei Yunlan quickly comforted her, "It's okay, no one will take you away, I'll let Ningshuang come in and sleep with you, okay?"
Fourth Miss Bai's stretched body visibly relaxed and she nodded vigorously at Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan called Ningshuang and Tingxue from outside into the house, and then made a gesture to Madam Bai Da and Madam Bai Er, "You two, please excuse me for a moment."
At this time, Mrs. Bai was still immersed in the fact that her daughter was afraid of her, and was extremely sad.
Wei Yunlan understood her sadness, but it was not Fourth Miss Bai’s fault.
"Azhi has lost her previous memories and can't recognize you. To her, you are strangers now. It's understandable that she is afraid to go back with your mother."
For Miss Bai Si who has lost her memory, Madam Bai Da and Madam Bai Er are far less friendly than Wei Yunlan and others with whom she has been living day and night during this period.
Wei Yunlan said: "Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid it's not suitable for her to return home."
"What I mean is, why don't you let her stay with us for a while, and then take her back after she has adapted for a while?"
"Will this disturb you too much?" Mrs. Bai asked a little embarrassedly.
"It's nothing, we all like Azhi." Wei Yunlan was not being polite.
After spending some time together, the family and Miss Bai Si have become very familiar with each other. Everyone feels sorry for this girl who has a tragic fate but is brave and strong.
Not to mention just staying for a short period of time, even if you stay for another year or two, no one will have any objections.
Madam Bai thanked Wei Yunlan repeatedly, and then whispered, "Sister-in-law, let Azhi stay. Let's go back first, and I will accompany you to see Azhi tomorrow."
No matter how reluctant she was, Mrs. Bai Da finally followed Mrs. Bai Er, looking back every few steps.
The yard returned to silence again.
In late autumn and early winter, it is already very cold in the north after nightfall.
It is for this reason that, even though there is no curfew in Beiguan City, few people go out after dark.
In Jingping Lane, the lights of every household were turned off one after another.
At this time, several figures quietly climbed into the Wei family's yard.
He knocked gently four times on Wei Yunlan's door, three short and one long.
"Captain Yu."
Wei Yunlan wrapped his cotton robe tightly and opened the door.
Standing at the door were indeed Yu Qi, Pei Hu, and two other people who looked unfamiliar but had similar temperaments to them.
"Miss Wei, this is An Jiu and Zou Yun."
Yu Qi introduced them, "An Jiu is the person in charge of intelligence in the Beiguan area, and Zou Yun is the one assigned by the master to be in charge of your side. If you have any questions in the future, you can contact Zou Yun directly."
The master that Yu Qi mentioned was naturally Mr. Xiao, who had now left Huangzhou and headed south.
Wei Yunlan blinked and thought to himself, this person... is quite careful.
