It was already evening. Xiao Jinhe had been sleeping the whole time, waking up once. Due to the doctor's instructions, he could only eat liquid food.
So when the little girl woke up in the afternoon, Li Nian only fed her some rice porridge.
Li Sisi and Li Nian were sitting by the bed watching over them.
Li Sisi's face was filled with guilt: "If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have joined in the fun."
Li Nian pursed his lips tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Who could have thought something like this would happen? There are some dangers that can never be avoided."
Li Sisi thanked herself again, "Luckily, there's a system, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to think... Alas! I should have taken Jinhe's silver chopsticks and silver spoon with me when I left the capital!"
"Wait for Ayu and the others to come back and ask him to buy another one!"
As soon as Li Nian finished speaking, the door was opened.
Xiao Yunyu walked in quickly, and when he reached the bedside, he was still feeling the coolness from outside.
He bent down and looked at the little girl on the bed: "What did the doctor say?"
Li Nian replied, "It's all right now."
She didn't see Xiao Yunchen, so she asked again, "How is it? Has the person who poisoned you been found?"
Xiao Yunyu shook his head: "I do know that a stranger pretended to be a handyman today, but that person's whereabouts have not yet been found."
Li Nian then expressed his guess.
"Today, I followed Manager Liu to the medicine store and found out that Zhao Ju was also in the city. This is our first time in northern Jiangsu, and apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else we have a grudge against."
Li Sisi also agreed: "Yes, yes, and didn't I see Su Muyan that day? I thought I was seeing things at the time. This time I heard that Zhao Ju lived with his wife in northern Jiangsu, so I guessed that Zhao Ju's wife was Su Muyan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yunyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"What you said is a clue. I will have Xiao Yunchen take people to search the Zhao family mansion now!"
After saying that, Xiao Yunyu turned around, took two steps away, then suddenly turned back and slapped Li Nian on the face.
She comforted him, "Since Jinhe is fine, don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself and the child, and leave the rest to your husband, okay?"
Li Nian nodded.
Li Sisi watched Xiao Yunyu close the door and leave.
"Eh~~" She touched her arm and looked at Li Nian: "Sister, is your husband also bound to the strategy system?"
Li Nian said calmly, "He's just like that, a bit corny."
Li Sisi disagreed: "How can he be corny? He's simply greasy!"
"Is it greasy?" Li Nian thought carefully, "Not bad."
Li Sisi: "As long as you like it."
Li Nian: "That would be troublesome if you like it."
"What if I follow him?" Li Sisi shook her head when she thought of that possibility.
Li Sisi bared her teeth and said, "Even if we fight eight hundred times a day, I still can't beat him! I feel hopeless just thinking about it."
Li Nian smiled and joked, "Not necessarily. Maybe you think he's good at martial arts and want to learn from him."
"He'll be my master, and Chenchen my husband?" Li Sisi nodded. "That's possible."
Li Nian was amused by her words: "You're dreaming, do you still want to hold Huang on your left and Qingcang on your right?"
Li Sisi quickly asked, "Then who is Huang and who is Cang?"
When talking about this, the two best friends looked at each other and smiled.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. What the hell are we talking about?"
"Mother~~"
Hearing Jinhe's shout, Li Sisi quickly covered her mouth.
Oops, I laughed too loudly and woke up the little girl!
On the other side, Su Muyan was shocked when she heard the housekeeper say that a group of soldiers broke into the Zhao Mansion.
He hurriedly asked, "What happened? Where is the master?"
"The master is out and hasn't come back yet."
Su Muyan suppressed the inexplicable panic in her heart and stood up carefully: "I will go and see what's going on."
On the way, Su Muyan urgently asked: "Did the officers and soldiers tell us why they came to our house?"
"I heard that the wife and daughter of a nobleman in the capital were poisoned, and they are searching everywhere for them."
Su Muyan frowned. "How did they end up searching our house? Don't they know that my husband is the grandson of a family of imperial physicians in the capital? Could they possibly do something so harmful?"
The housekeeper explained in a low voice: "Maybe it's because our family runs a pharmacy, so he came to ask for routine information?"
Su Muyan looked displeased: "If that's the case, these soldiers really have no manners. How could they break into a private residence like this?"
As soon as Su Muyan arrived at the front yard, she saw a gentle man in a moon-white brocade robe. He was saying something to the people around him with a slightly cold expression.
Su Muyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an inexplicably familiar feeling came over her.
According to her husband, she was raised in the Zhao family since she was a child, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts.
Not long after her marriage, she lost her memory due to an accident.
Her husband then took her to northern Jiangsu to recuperate.
"Su Muyan?" The young man in white robe looked over with a cold gaze.
Su Muyan was in a trance again. She opened her mouth, feeling like she wanted to say something, but her mind was blank and there was nothing to say.
She came closer, holding her pregnant belly, and asked doubtfully, "Sir, do you know me?"
Xiao Yunchen looked at her.
The voice was cold and serious: "Don't pretend not to know me. Your Su family is corrupt and has committed crimes. You are now a fugitive slave!"
Su Muyan stared at the man in front of her in shock, with inexplicable anger welling up in her chest.
"You, you are talking nonsense! That's not what my husband said!"
"Zhao Ju?" Xiao Yunchen's eyes were frighteningly dark. "You ran away on the day of your wedding, so you are not considered husband and wife."
Having said that, Xiao Yunchen realized that he had said too much.
"Come here, arrest this fugitive!"
Several officers and soldiers came forward immediately.
The housekeeper immediately panicked. Everyone could see how much the master cared about his wife!
If anything happens to the Madam, none of them will be able to live peacefully!
"What are you doing? My wife is staying at home to take care of her pregnancy. She never leaves the house. My dear officials, do you have any misunderstandings? Can you wait for my master to come back..."
Xiao Yunchen interrupted the housekeeper coldly: "There is no misunderstanding. When Zhao Ju comes back, ask him to come to the government office to meet him in person."
Su Muyan finally came back to her senses from what Xiao Yunchen had just said.
So did her husband lie to her?
Is she a runaway slave? What about her family?
The officers and soldiers in the city were naturally very familiar with the Zhao family. As a family of imperial physicians in the capital, who among the people in northern Jiangsu would not show some respect to them?
The woman in front of him was the daughter of the Zhao family's grandson, and she was pregnant with the Zhao family's blood.
Although several officers and soldiers came forward, no one dared to take the initiative to arrest anyone.
One of the soldiers whispered, "Madam, please go on your own. It would be bad if a few of us rough guys got into trouble and didn't know how to control our strength, and something happened to you and your child."
Su Muyan looked at Xiao Yunchen and asked in a tone of voice, "Who are you? Do you think you can break into my house and arrest anyone at will with just a few words?"
Xiao Yunchen said coldly, "Why did we arrest you? When we get to the government office, ask Zhao Ju what he did behind your back."
