Chapter 2203 My Mother is Very Smart
Shu Yu couldn't answer that question for her.
Seeing Aunt Hong's worried look, she could only say, "I will find someone to look for her. At least we'll know she appeared in Huajiang Prefecture, so we'll have a direction to search for."
Aunt Hong opened her mouth, hesitated, and then nodded after a long while. "I hope we can find it."
What worried her was that something might really have happened to Wei. Based on her understanding of Wei, if she had really escaped from that wealthy family, she would definitely try to escape back to the capital.
After all, her child, whom she had been worried about for ten months, was here.
But now it's been almost a year, and she still hasn't appeared. Even the Wei family has returned; the Wei family should have crawled there by now.
Shu Yu and Aunt Hong returned to the carriage. After lifting the curtain and getting into the carriage, they saw Xiao Song Le holding a bead in his hand, rubbing it incessantly.
This bead wasn't the one he used to carry with him; Shu Yu had long since put away his original wooden beads. The little guy just wasn't used to not having a bead with him, so Shu Yu found him a new one.
Whenever she feels anxious or restless, Xiao Songle rubs the beads.
His mind is clearly not at peace right now.
Shu Yu sat down next to Xiao Song Le, said goodbye to Aunt Hong, and then told Ying Xi to set off back home.
Once the carriage had moved smoothly forward, Xiao Songle raised her head and looked at Shu Yu, who opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something but didn't know where to begin.
Shu Yu knew he must have guessed it; the little guy wasn't stupid.
She sighed softly. "Are you asking who that man was?"
Xiao Song hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"His name is Wei Tang, and he's your maternal uncle."
Xiao Song suddenly looked up at her, his gaze burning. "Then my mother..." He knew, he knew that his mother had been taken away by his maternal grandparents and his uncle.
Now that his maternal uncle has appeared, does that mean his mother has also returned?
Shu Yu didn't want to hide it from him. If Wei Tang appeared once, there was no guarantee he wouldn't appear a second time. If Xiao Song Le didn't know the truth and was tricked away by him or that old man Wei, then he would regret it.
So she calmly told him exactly what Wei Tang had said.
Little Song Le's eyes were red and swollen. She gripped the beads tightly with her little hands, and after a long while, tears streamed down her face.
Shu Yu hugged him. "Don't worry, we've been to Huajiang Prefecture before, and your cousin lived in Tianning County, which is under the jurisdiction of Huajiang Prefecture, for ten years. Uncle Meng knows a lot of people there and is very familiar with the area. We'll ask them to keep an eye out for you, and we'll definitely be able to find your mother."
Sitting on the carriage shaft, Ying Xi hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'm familiar with Huajiang Prefecture. My brother and I even know a jailer in the prefectural city. We can ask him to help us find it, no problem."
“We didn’t know your mother’s whereabouts before, but now that we know she’s in Huajiang Prefecture, it’s much easier to handle things now that we have a lead.”
With the two reassured Xiao Songle, she gradually calmed down, nodded, and said, "We'll definitely find it."
He tilted his head back and forced a smile. "Besides, my mother managed to escape from that house, which means she's very smart. She'll be fine. Who knows where she's waiting for us now?"
Shu Yu laughed. "That's right."
Xiao Songle lowered her head again, clutching the beads in her hand and praying silently.
