"Your daughter is in here. Go find her yourself." Miss Qian led Li Rou Niang to the door of a room, gestured for her to go inside, and then turned and left.
Without thinking twice, Li Rouniang rushed in and saw her Erni lying quietly on the bed, with a fair-skinned little boy lying next to her. Both of them had their eyes closed.
Li Rouniang's heart trembled. Had she arrived too late?
She staggered forward and cried out, "Erni, my Erni, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Li Rou Niang recalled the way Er Ni struggled inside the coffin in her previous life, and she almost went crazy!
Erni, who smiled at her every day, who opened her arms and said she would protect her, who wanted to share the beatings with her, is gone just like that.
Li Rou Niang hugged her daughter's small body and burst into tears.
The Qian couple were startled by Li Rou Niang's actions. What was going on?
The housekeeper arrived promptly and explained the situation to the two of them.
Mr. Qian quickly said, "Madam, your daughter..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Rouniang interrupted her fiercely: "How could you be so cruel? She was only five years old! How could you kill her? Are your children the only ones who are children, and my child isn't?"
"Madam, you've misunderstood." Mrs. Qian immediately tried to explain.
Just then, Erni suddenly woke up. "Cough, cough! Mother, what are you doing here? Where is this?"
After Erni was knocked unconscious by Wu Yong near the grove, she opened her eyes to find herself in this unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people. However, what reassured her was that her mother was also there.
"Erni, are you alright?" Li Rouniang held Erni and carefully examined her from head to toe, left to right. "Tell your mother if there's anything that's bothering you?"
"It's alright, Mother. My aunt and I were on our way to town to get medicine for Grandma. I'm sorry, Erni didn't listen to you. Erni thought we might run into you on the way, but we didn't expect that you would be hit by someone and faint shortly after we left the village. You don't know what happened after that."
Erni explained to Li Rouniang that seeing her mother crying her eyes out also pained Erni's heart.
Li Rouniang realized she had misunderstood. With her child by her side, her reason returned, and she felt her actions were somewhat inappropriate. She quickly turned to the two and said, "You must be Master Qian and Madam Qian. I'm sorry for my rudeness. My daughter was kidnapped by bad people and sold to your family. It's not my intention to bring her good luck. I'll take my daughter away now. Sorry for the disturbance."
As she spoke, Li Rouniang picked up Erni and was about to leave when Madam Qian quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Madam, you can't just leave like this. We consulted a master who said that the first girl to come into our family to bring good fortune will bring blessings to my son."
“That’s your family’s business, what does it have to do with me? I don’t agree to my daughter being brought here for a marriage to bring good luck.” Li Rou Niang’s attitude was also firm.
She wanted to sever ties with the Qian family as soon as possible!
After all, the memories of the previous life were just too heart-wrenching.
"Madam, I beg you! Look at my son, he's the same age as your daughter. He's lying here, and he's been hoping for a marriage to ward off bad luck. The master said that if he gets through tonight, he'll wake up. Please, save my son!" Madam Qian pleaded anxiously, her face streaked with tears, her sobs making it hard to refuse her.
If it were anything else, Rou Niang might have agreed, but when it came to her daughter, as a mother, she would absolutely not agree. This idea of a marriage to bring good luck was utter nonsense!
Because she knew that the young master of the Qian family had died in the end in her previous life, and that her daughter would not have a good ending if she stayed here, it was no wonder that she was ruthless.
"Madam Qian, I'm truly sorry. This whole 'marrying for good luck' thing is utter nonsense. Besides, I don't want my daughter to stay here." Li Rou Niang said, pulling her daughter towards the door.
Madam Qian, Master Qian, and Butler Qian tried to stop them. The adults pushed and shoved each other, and no one knew who pushed Erni. Erni staggered backward and fell onto the bed, landing hard on the young master Qian.
Suddenly, the adults who had been pushing and shoving each other and making noise all fell silent and looked at the head of the bed.
"Cough, cough!" The young master suddenly sat up and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Li Rouniang quickly stepped forward and picked up Erni.
Mrs. Qian cried out, "My poor son, how are you?"
Qian Duobao felt a blur before his eyes and thought he saw a little girl, then everything went black and he fell into a deep sleep.
"Butler! Quick! Go find a doctor!" Master Qian panicked as well.
At this moment, Li Rouniang, who was standing to the side, panicked. Could she be crushed to death?
Will she and her daughter be able to escape unscathed?
She quietly carried her daughter and slowly moved towards the door. When Master Qian saw the mother and daughter who were the culprits, he was furious: "Guards! Lock them in the woodshed."
"Master~" Madam Qian tugged at Master Qian's sleeve and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Master Qian sighed and said, "Lock him in the next room first, keep a close watch on him, and don't let him escape."
Li Rouniang was politely but firmly ushered into the next room by the servants.
Erni was also a little flustered. She whispered to Li Rouniang, "Mother, did I just kill that little boy?"
Li Rouniang patted Erni's head reassuringly. Actually, she was also a little flustered because she knew that the young master of the Qian family was destined to die of illness. She couldn't blame them for this, otherwise, given the Qian family's wealth and power, she and her daughter would probably suffer.
“It’s none of your business. Young Master Qian is already sick,” Li Rouniang explained.
"Mother, why don't we use the spiritual spring water to heal this little brother? Erni doesn't want him to die." Erni was still very worried.
Erni suggested that Li Rouniang use the spring water to perform a ritual to cleanse the body. Although the spring water in her space couldn't guarantee a cure-all, it could significantly and rapidly enhance the body's self-healing abilities. Hopefully, it would be effective.
Li Rou Niang took out the spring water and opened the door. The servant thought she was going to escape, and immediately looked at her with a wary expression, saying, "I'll stay here and watch you. You're not going anywhere."
"Young man, you've misunderstood. I'm not going anywhere. I have a bowl of medicine here that's incredibly effective in treating your young master's illness. Please take me to see your master," Li Rouniang said earnestly.
The servant was skeptical, but ultimately led Li Rouniang and her son back to the room they had just been in.
"What are you doing here?" Master Qian asked coldly.
He had a son late in life, and this was his only precious son. But the son fell ill and almost died. Just when he was about to die, a master came and said that washing his son with water could save his life. Although he didn't believe in such nonsense, he had no choice but to try it. But instead, his son vomited blood!
He was so regretful!
