"What's going on? Our Qiu family hasn't broken any laws recently?"
Qin Susu rolled her eyes. "Those people are much harder to deal with than government officials."
She looked dejected.
That's not right... She has no grudge against Qin Feng, so why would she obstruct me like this?
She suddenly woke up.
Those people weren't after her, but rather...
Qiu Yan!
She tried to climb over the wall to get out, but outside the wall, Qin Feng's men were also surrounding her.
"Lu Geng, tell me, how exactly should I get out of here?" Qin Susu was lost in despair.
Lu Geng felt a sudden panic. "There's a dog hole next to the rockery in the backyard... Miss Qin, you're of noble birth... I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
"A dog hole?"
Qin Susu's eyes lit up. "What do you mean by 'golden branches and jade leaves'? I'm just a rough and honest maid."
That's right, she was constantly being bossed around by Qiu Yan.
Lightning, oh lightning, I never expected that you would lend me a helping hand at such a crucial moment.
Then, led by Lu Geng, she went to the dog hole, and without hesitation, she lay down and crawled out of the yard through the dog hole.
She went out simply, without a horse for company.
There were no passing vehicles all morning.
Left with no other option, she walked to Lingnan Village.
This time, she was very discreet, and no one noticed her.
She walked quickly and arrived at Lingnan Village just as dawn was breaking.
Finally, I was able to see Xiaoyan.
Qin Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she heard the cries of a baby coming from not far away.
Qin Susu was stunned for a moment. Judging from the voice, it didn't sound like Uncle Li's two sons.
Following the sound, she met the gaze of a man on a tall horse in the distance.
Then, her gaze fell on the child in his arms.
It was undoubtedly Ling Ba.
Qin Susu asked curiously, "Ling Ba, you went to the military camp, how come you brought back a child?"
Ling Ba dismounted, looking utterly exhausted.
"I don't know what's wrong with this child, he's been crying all the way here."
At first, he only quieted down for a while while drinking noodle soup.
After we gave him soy milk, he slept soundly at first, but the next day he started crying and had frequent diarrhea.
Before long, he cried himself unconscious and collapsed into Ling Ba's arms.
Qin Susu took the child and examined him carefully.
"This child is really ugly!"
Ling Ba: "He takes after his father."
As Ling Ba spoke, he entered the courtyard, intending to find Ling Qi and hand the child over to him.
Unbeknownst to them, Ling Qi was not there.
"Where are Ling Qi and the others?" Ling Ba asked.
"You still haven't told me who his father is, and whose child this is?"
Qin Susu spoke in unison.
Finally, Ling Ba answered first:
"Who else could it be?"
His casual remark made Qin Susu suddenly realize the truth.
"Ling Qi's?"
Ling Ba tacitly agreed.
Qin Susu glanced at the child again, "Sister Bailu gave birth so quickly? Where is she?"
She felt that the time hadn't come yet.
Because she wasn't very good at holding the baby, she handed the child back to Ling Ba.
Ling Ba took the child: "She's in the military camp. Feng Qi gave birth in the military camp; this child's life was extremely difficult."
Ling Ba lowered his eyes, touched the child's face, and then checked his breath. "I hope you can live."
The child was very small, not even as thick as his arm.
Ling Ba was worried the whole way; if his child died, he wouldn't be able to face Ling Qi.
Feng Qi? Giving birth in the military camp? Qin Susu exclaimed in surprise, "This child is incredibly lucky." He was just born, yet he survived and was brought back by Ling Ba.
Speaking of Feng Qi, she knocked on Qiu Yan's door.
What made her despair was...
Qiu Yan is not here!
Good heavens, who knows how many hardships she went through just to see Qiu Yan?
