Han Datou nodded solemnly and recounted the discovery of the little monkey.
Everyone sighed upon hearing this, never imagining that there were such ruthless people in the world. How could they be so heartless?
Even if the wood wasn't their own child, they still couldn't...
Zhou Jie stared intently at Old Madam Lu, and sneered, "When you sent the child away back then, didn't you expect things to turn out like this? The child has become like this, you can't escape blame!"
Grandma Lu wept bitterly, unable to utter a single word.
"You've turned your grandson into this! I'd like to see how you'll face your ancestors after you die!"
Grandma Lu shuddered, her face turned deathly pale, and she swayed before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
At this moment, no one went to help her. Her two sons and daughters-in-law were frightened, and the villagers who were watching looked down on the Lu family.
During the famine years, their family also had a hard time, but who would send their child away?
It goes without saying that everyone is having a hard time right now, so what good can happen to a child who has been sent away?
What's the difference between sending your child away and letting your child die?
At this point, the Lu family also realized their mistake, but what good was regret?
Grandma Lu wanted to keep the wood, but Grandma Han refused.
Finally, she asked the little monkey, and the little monkey didn't want to stay there either.
The group arrived quickly and left just as quickly. They then went to Tiger Head Cliff Village.
There weren't many people left in the village, so when Han Lenghua heard that Grandma Han and the others were coming, she hurriedly came out to greet them.
The baby's belly is already quite large now, and it's estimated that she'll give birth soon.
She was also very saddened to learn about the wood in the grave. If she had known this would happen, she would have kept the child back then.
Life is much better at home now, and feeding an extra mouth is no problem at all.
"Father, Mother, let's keep this child here!"
Upon hearing that Grandma Han planned to raise the baby monkey herself, Han Lenghua disagreed, saying, "I already have two children at home, and we'll have another one soon. Taking care of one more person won't take much effort."
Hearing her eldest daughter's tender voice, Old Mrs. Han shook her head: "Leng Hua, you don't know how heartbroken I was when I found out this child was made of wood. I was confused before, and did many terrible things. But this child..."
She sighed, looking at the little monkey with loving eyes: "I know that nothing I do can make up for it, but I still want to raise him myself."
Han Lenghua nodded; she understood what her mother meant.
“Mother, I know what you’re thinking. But you’re in the capital now, so close to Xue’er. Xue’er’s baby is due soon, isn’t it? Don’t you want to go and see the baby more often?”
These words made Old Mrs. Han hesitate; of course, she wanted to visit more often.
But will Han Luoxue give her that chance?
"Think about it, Xueya will mind having the little monkey by her side."
"Besides, don't you know my personality? As long as I have something to eat, I will never let Wood go hungry!"
Han Lenghua was a kind-hearted person, and Old Mrs. Han knew this well. She nodded and agreed.
Zhou Jie didn't object when she heard that the little monkey would stay. The little monkey, however, seemed a bit reluctant to leave.
However, he knew that his aunt was a good person, and with two children accompanying him, he happily went to play with the two girls.
Wuling Town now has another madwoman. The next day, when everyone learned that Old Lady Lu had gone mad, they were all somewhat moved.
Unexpectedly, she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart. But no one sympathized with her. Her two sons even threw her out, refusing to let her into the house.
...
The Emperor's secret guards had come looking for Han Yuchen several times, but she hadn't returned. The Emperor was secretly getting anxious in the palace.
Outside the Crown Prince's residence, although no one was making a fuss anymore, there were still quite a few people secretly saying that the Emperor was incompetent.
Even the ministers could only shake their heads inwardly when the matter was mentioned. But during the morning court session, not a single person dared to utter a word. The Emperor was determined to protect the former Crown Prince; what could anyone say?
Han Luoxue was shaken awake in the middle of the night. She was still half asleep when she heard Han Yuchen's urgent shout:
"Xue'er, get up quickly!"
Han Luoxue opened her sleepy eyes, still a little confused. Han Yuchen said urgently, "You need to leave now, take your parents with you. My men will take you to a safe place. By the way, Xue'er, don't come looking for me. I'll come pick you up myself after things are settled here!"
Han Yuchen spoke very quickly, and Han Luoxue felt uneasy. She grabbed his arm and asked anxiously, "Brother Chen, is something wrong?"
Being woken up in the middle of the night, who would believe nothing bad has happened?
"It's nothing serious, I can handle things on my end!"
Han Yuchen's expression was cold and stern. Lights had already been turned on in other parts of the courtyard. Yunniang ran over and asked, "Xue'er, are you ready?"
Before Han Luoxue could understand what was happening, she was pulled up. She quickly dressed, tidied up her things in the room, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
"It's Ouyang Fu, he's forcing the emperor to abdicate!"
A coup? Han Luoxue's pupils contracted. She hadn't expected Prince Qian to resort to such desperate measures.
"And what about you over here?"
Throughout history, the transition of royal power has been the most brutal period; if one of the rulers fails to act, one's life is in danger.
"As long as you are alright and have no worries, I will be fine."
Han Yuchen spoke in a deep voice, and Han Luoxue knew that she was of no use here in her current situation.
"Brother Chen, do you mean I've been exposed?"
Han Yuchen nodded, and Han Luoxue's heart skipped a beat. In fact, she had always been very careful, and she didn't know who had exposed her.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Despite his worries, he wanted to let Han Luoxue know that leaving now was the best way to help Han Yuchen.
Just as she said, as long as she was alright, she had no worries.
However, it's unclear how long this will take. Will we be able to see each other again before the baby is born?
Because Han Luoxue had a spatial ability, she could simply put everything away in the room. It was just a pity that no one could enter the room, so they left overnight.
As for the villagers, let them calm down for now. We'll seek development after this matter is resolved.
...
"Xue'er, are you still worried about Han Yuchen?"
The place Han Yuchen chose for her was a picturesque, rice-growing region. The scenery there was stunning, and it was about three or four days' drive from the capital.
In this place nestled between mountains and water, Han Luoxue even wanted to live here permanently and didn't want to go back.
In the blink of an eye, they had been here for almost half a month, and news from the capital came in only occasionally.
Han Yuchen hadn't sent her any messages. Han Luoxue spent her days spacing out in the courtyard, occasionally going out for a stroll to enjoy the scenery.
