The capital is in the north, so it's normal to encounter refugees on the way from the north to the south. However, they had many guards with them, and they were all loyal. If they hadn't been chased by their enemies, they wouldn't have been driven to the brink of death by the refugees.
"I heard that the child's mother is missing and the group was scattered. This guard managed to protect the young master all the way here. He was even chased by enemies the day before yesterday." This is what Boss Zhou heard from the man in black.
"At first, that man held on tightly to me and wouldn't let go. Later, after confirming that we were at the county government office and that the child was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and fainted." Old Zhou shook his head, looking lingering fear. The man was so badly injured, yet his eyes flashed with intense murderous intent when he was holding him, which terrified him.
“He’s a loyal servant, so let’s hurry up and return the child to him. Otherwise, people might misunderstand and repay kindness with enmity.” At this moment, Zhao Guihua felt that the child was a hot potato and just wanted to send him to the yamen immediately.
Old Zhou said, "When we came back, the magistrate specifically told me that the man was too badly injured to take care of the child, and there was no one in the yamen who could take care of the child. There were no maids in the yamen, and the magistrate only had servants and guards. So he told us to take the child with us first, and then take the child to the yamen and hand him over to the guard when it gets light tomorrow."
Since it was the county magistrate who spoke, it was naturally difficult to refuse. After all, they were the ones who rescued them themselves, so they could take them with them for the night.
But who will take care of the child at night?
“I’ll take over. It’s already a bit crowded for you to sleep with Xingxing. This child can sleep with me tonight. Ruru is a very good sleeper and can sleep through the night. I just need to look after this child.”
Zhao Guizhi smiled gently. She especially liked these fragrant and soft babies. She hoped that holding them more would bring her more good fortune with children and help her have one soon.
Back in the next room, Zhao Guihua whispered to Zhou Laoda, "Master, did that person say what the child's parents' identities are? Could they be high-ranking officials from the capital?"
"That man was very cautious and unwilling to reveal his identity to us. When he mentioned his master, the magistrate dismissed us. However, judging from the magistrate's solemn expression, he must be of high status," Zhou Laoda guessed.
"Xingxing said we saved a noble person, so they must be from a family of high status, otherwise how could they be called a noble person?" Zhao Guihua said in a low voice, sounding very serious.
Oh right, my daughter said it was a benefactor, but they can't even imagine how benefactor is. Oh well, let's go to sleep first. There's so much to do tomorrow. We have to go to the government office and look after the house. We're going to be very busy.
