"Erni~" Dani tugged at Erni's hand with some concern.
"Sister, I'm fine. Anyway, Mom went to town, so maybe we'll run into each other," Erni whispered to Dani.
Dani was relieved; they might run into each other on the way.
"Alright, let's go. It'll be dark soon. What are you two sisters doing, all lovey-dovey?" Zhao Dahua said impatiently, pulling Erni away.
Even after they left the village, still in that grove of trees, Wu Xiucai suddenly jumped out and struck down with a palm, knocking Erni unconscious.
"Brother Wu, what are you doing?" Zhao Dahua asked nervously.
"To prevent this little brat from talking nonsense, let's knock her unconscious first. By the time she wakes up, she'll already be at the Qian family's house, and then it will be too late to save her," Wu Xiucai said fiercely.
"Brother Wu, you're so clever," Zhao Dahua praised.
Wu Xiucai felt elated. If it weren't for the timing, seeing this familiar grove of trees, Wu Xiucai would really like to be with Zhao Dahua here... Hmm, business is more important.
Leaving aside the fact that the two of them were in cahoots and secretly took Erni to town, Li Rouniang and Mo Bei bought some things and were walking back when, by some strange twist of fate, they didn't run into each other.
Because there's more than one road to the town, Wu Xiucai, fearing discovery, chose to take the side road.
Seeing Li Rouniang return, Da Ni hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother, Er Ni and Aunt went to town. Didn't you run into them?"
"What? Why did she go to town with Zhao Dahua?" Li Rouniang immediately felt uneasy upon hearing this and asked quickly.
"Cough cough, it's all because my old bones are useless and I twisted my leg. Erni is so filial; she went to town with her aunt to get medicine for me." Granny Zhao quickly tried to smooth things over.
Li Rouniang was naturally skeptical. She asked again, "Then why haven't we encountered them along the way?"
Granny Zhao shook her head, secretly relieved: Luckily we didn't run into them, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
Li Rouniang said nothing more, but suddenly felt a pang of panic. She pulled Da Ni and walked outside. Mo Bei hadn't gone far and saw Rouniang come out, so he quickly went to meet her.
"Mo Bei, I'll leave Da Ni and San Ni to you for now. Er Ni went to town with Zhao Da Hua. I'm worried about them, so I'll go look for them." Li Rou Niang hurriedly finished her instructions and left in a hurry. She didn't even realize that in her heart, Mo Bei was more reassuring than Granny Zhao.
Mo Bei was also anxious upon hearing this, so he quickly took Da Ni and San Ni back to Old Man Mo's place to give them instructions before chasing after Li Rou Niang.
Li Rouniang ran out of the village, her heart growing increasingly panicked. Thinking of her past life, she became even more worried. She wondered why she hadn't run into the two men, since they must have taken a side road instead of the main road.
The path was never very safe to begin with, so it seemed she had something to hide. Thinking this, Li Rouniang quickened her pace; her Erni couldn't be allowed to get into trouble.
Li Rouniang was panting heavily as she ran. When she reached the entrance of the town, she ran into Zhao Dahua walking out.
Zhao Dahua had just parted ways with Wu Xiucai. Upon arriving in town, Wu Xiucai went to the Qian family, took the money, bought Zhao Dahua a flower, and then rushed off to the academy.
Zhao Dahua didn't linger, and happily walked out of town with the flowers, only to run into Li Rouniang.
Before she could dodge, Li Rouniang noticed Zhao Dahua's guilty conscience and rushed forward, grabbing Zhao Dahua by the collar: "Where did you take Erni?"
"Rou, Rou Niang, what are you saying? I don't know what you're talking about." Zhao Dahua stubbornly refused to admit it.
"Mother said you brought Erni to town to get medicine, where is Erni?" Li Rouniang took a deep breath to calm herself down and asked patiently.
He also thought to himself, what if it's just to get medicine?
"Erni is disobedient. She ran away with someone in town, and I haven't been able to find her." Zhao Dahua blinked and made up a lie.
"You're talking nonsense! Tell me the truth! Where did you take Erni?" Hearing this, Li Rouniang couldn't contain her anger any longer and slapped Zhao Dahua across the face.
Da Hua was hit and immediately retaliated, and the two started fighting at the entrance of the town, attracting a large crowd.
In the end, Zhao Dahua was no match for Li Rouniang. Li rode on top of her and pinned her to the ground, beating her mercilessly: "Will you talk or not? Will you talk or not?"
Li Rouniang was anxious. Erni had suffocated to death in her coffin in her previous life, and she was afraid that Erni would not be able to escape the tragedy of her previous life.
But the timing doesn't add up. In his previous life, the young master of the Qian family was still alive at this time, so he must have been sold to someone else. Thinking this made him even more anxious.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, stop hitting me!" Zhao Dahua was a little scared when she saw Li Rouniang acting like a madwoman, so she immediately told the truth: "Wu Yong took her and sold her to the Qian family to bring them good luck."
Li Rou Niang didn't have time to argue with Zhao Da Hua any longer. She got up and hurriedly ran to the Qian family: It was still the Qian family. This time, they had actually washed up!
But that young master is going to die sooner or later, so can Erni not escape being buried with him?
Li Runian rushed to the Qian family's door and frantically knocked on it!
"Who is it?" The servant opened the door, but before he could see who it was, Li Rouniang pushed him away!
Seeing Li Rouniang rush in, the servant quickly stopped her and asked, "No, who are you?"
"I'm asking you, did a man bring a child here to bring good luck? Where is that child? That's my daughter," Rou Niang asked anxiously, grabbing the servant.
The servant stared at Li Rouniang, momentarily stunned. Li Rouniang, frantic with worry, couldn't wait any longer. She pushed him aside and rushed inside, calling out, "Erni! Erni! Mother's here! Where are you?"
