The gatekeeper, upon learning that the child was missing, realized he had forgotten to report it. He had assumed the doctors knew.
They quickly informed the First Madam of the children's whereabouts.
It's good that the child didn't leave the village, but I was still a little worried, so I went to the village school to confirm before I felt at ease and went home.
When school was over, Zhao Qingyan took a maid with her to pick up a few children from the village school.
Although she is actually younger than Shunzi, in her heart, she is the eldest sister.
The two little ones were carried out, both sleeping like little pigs. They were even drooling.
Zhao Qingyan originally wanted to take the baby and hold him, but when she saw the drool, she gave up. It wasn't that she didn't have a loving heart; she just couldn't accept a baby who was drooling.
Okay, so the little girl took Da Ya from Zhao Qinghe's arms, while Shunzi continued to hold Xiao Tangyuan.
Along the way, Qinghe would also lend a hand and hug Xiaotangyuan.
Fortunately, the child isn't overweight; otherwise, carrying a child for the distance between the village school and home would be quite strenuous.
After the children were brought home, they were settled in their respective rooms. They would only be woken up when it was time to eat.
Back in Moganshan, they forcibly carried his wife onto the carriage, and she spent her days in tears.
She didn't whine or sob; she just kept quiet and secretly shed tears.
This left the rough-around-the-edges man from Moganshan completely at a loss, utterly helpless and without any way to proceed.
You can't reason with them, you can't hit them or scold them; it's a feeling that's hard to describe and makes you feel terrible.
"Honey, can you please stop crying?"
Why are there so many tears? After crying, you still need to drink water. If you drink too little, you'll be thirsty; if you drink too much, you'll need to pee. Isn't that troublesome?
"Don't cry. If you cry again, I'll cry too."
Madam Mo then wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.
"How could I not cry? That's the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. It's right in front of me, and I just can't bring it back."
Do you think that the sales home is being too unreasonable?
"My husband, your martial arts skills are unparalleled. You should have snatched our son back even if you had to."
Mo Ganshan looked at his wife, who always considered herself a lady from a respectable family, and almost didn't recognize her.
"Honey, are you out of your mind?"
They took in our son and are raising him very well. How can you have the nerve to snatch him away from them?
It's normal for a woman like you not to know. The women in the Zhao family, including Lü Feng, and the chores do odd jobs in the courtyard, are all skilled in martial arts.
If I dared to use force to snatch the child today, I don't know if I could get the child back, but I would definitely get injured.
Mrs. Mo was filled with shock.
"How is this possible?"
You are the most outstanding general among the younger generation. Could the martial arts of the Zhao family possibly surpass your husband's?
"Oh, my dear wife, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."
We shouldn't look down on anyone. Besides, Madam Zhao is right; we still have Fu Bao at home.
The child's parents were both wicked, but that doesn't mean the child wasn't inherently bad.
He's still young and probably doesn't understand his situation at home.
If she really grew up with our son, it would be hard not to develop inappropriate thoughts.
Wasn't her mother introduced by some relative from your family?
So what? You still managed to switch your son out.
Never say it's impossible; nothing is impossible in this world.
The reason I haven't brought my son back immediately is because of our family's safety.
I plan to separate the family when I get back. I'd rather leave with nothing than separate.
Otherwise, given Mother's biased nature, even if we brought our son home, he might not be well-received.
Madam Mo wiped away her tears and said,
"No way, Mother wouldn't do that, would she? That's her own grandson."
Moganshan sighed helplessly.
"Silly wife, that's still my own mother. Does she like me?"
If she had cared for me even a little, I wouldn't have been all alone when you gave birth.
Are we the kind of family that lacks food and clothing?
"This is still a general's mansion, isn't it? I support my whole family with my own money, can't I even afford to support a maid?"
Mo Ganshan was truly awakened by Tian Xiaolan's scolding; she wouldn't take her son home until the family matters were resolved.
As for whether the division of the family property will be pleasant, as long as he is ruthless, there is nothing he cannot handle well.
Huang and Zhao Qinglin arrived safely in the prefectural city.
The old lady didn't really have a good impression of this city, after all, there were earthquakes and snake infestations, which caused her to lose several thousand taels of silver.
But since we're already here, we should still do some good deeds.
Zhao Qinglin found everything fascinating.
"Grandma, look at those restaurants over there, they're all three stories high. In our county, only Wangyue Tower has three stories."
Grandma, is that a jewelry store? Have you ever been inside?
Are the jewelry there pretty? Grandma, let's go in and take a look later.
Ah, look, there are jugglers over there...
Zhao Qinglin chattered on and on all the way into the inn, which really annoyed Huang Shi.
"Second Girl, are you tired? Drink some water quickly. Since we entered the city, your mouth has never stopped."
How come I never noticed before that you were so talkative?
"This is just a prefectural city and you're already this excited. If this were a state capital or the capital, even dozens of eyes wouldn't be enough to keep up!"
Zhao Qinglin wasn't angry after hearing her grandmother's words. She stuck out her little tongue, turned around, and grabbed Huang's arm.
"I'm so excited! This is the capital city, after all! Grandma, can you take me out for a walk later?"
Mrs. Huang was truly exhausted. "If you want to go out, have the driver accompany you. He still has some martial arts skills."
Don't wander off. If you get targeted by kidnappers, you'll be in big trouble. Your kung fu isn't good enough; you only have fancy moves, not enough strength.
Be extra careful when you're out and about.
Zhao Qinglin, quite unconvinced, showed off her muscles; through her clothes, her little bit of flesh was practically invisible.
"Alright, stop acting up. After the waiter brings the water, hurry up and wash up. I'm exhausted and need to get some sleep. Tomorrow we'll go to the prefect's office to find someone."
As she spoke, Huang didn't even bother to change her clothes, took off her shoes, and went straight to sleep.
Zhao Qinglin was shocked by her grandmother's words.
"Grandma, what are you doing at the prefectural government office? How come you know people there?"
When I turned around, I found that Grandma had already fallen asleep.
A knock came at the door, and it was the waiter bringing water.
After the waiter left, Zhao Qinglin locked the door and quickly took a bath.
I hadn't had a proper bath in days. As soon as I got into the water, I let out a comfortable sigh.
As she washed, Zhao Qinglin began to feel sleepy.
He quickly washed himself clean, got dressed, and used a dry towel to half-dry his hair. He then moved Huang Shi inside and went to sleep as well.
