Chapter 78 Xiaobao is missing
Seeing that Chunhe had apologized, Chunping looked around, and gritted his teeth and said sorry to Xu Miaomiao, then turned to look at Xiaobao: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you with a stone."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Chunhe.
Chunhe whispered something to Xiao Si's ear, and Chunping was confused: "Sister, what's wrong?"
Chun He's eyes flashed with coldness, and his dark eyes seemed to want to eat someone. He said viciously: "Xu Miaomiao made me lose face in front of everyone. This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this!"
"Miao Miao, you are really amazing." Gu Yuanniang said as she walked, "If I had been as smart as you, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Okay, don't mention Liu Niang's past. Things will definitely get better and better in the future." Xu Miaomiao comforted Gu Yuanniang softly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Take Xiaobao back first. I'll go buy some things."
Gu Yuan's mother nodded, and watching the two people leave, Xu Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and stared at her left hand that had just hit Chunhe in a daze. The saying "A mother should be strong" is indeed true. At that time, she was only concerned about seeking justice and didn't care about anything else.
After calming down, Xu Miaomiao bought a roast duck and went to the tavern to buy a few dishes before returning to the store. After this experience, everyone must be starving.
As soon as I arrived at the store, I saw Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei looking for something anxiously.
"What's wrong with Liu Niang?" Xu Miaomiao asked curiously. She had never seen these two people so anxious.
Gu Yuanniang saw Xu Miaomiao standing there at a loss: "Miaomiao, I lost Xiaobao."
There was a hint of tears in her tone, and Gu Yuanniang almost cried out in pain.
"What?" Xu Miaomiao frowned, looking at Gu Yuanniang's helpless look but unable to speak, she could only comfort her: "Don't worry, Liuniang, think about what's going on."
"I was thinking of buying some sweet-scented osmanthus candy for the child to eat first, and asked him to wait for me under the tree, but before I could turn around, he was gone."
Gu Yuanniang was a little emotional, waving her hands and gesticulating anxiously.
If Gu Yuan's mother had told Xiaobao not to wander around, based on Xiaobao's personality he would have waited for her obediently. But from what it looks like now, it seems that someone has kidnapped Xiaobao.
"Sixth Mother, you guys look around now." Xu Miaomiao instructed. She wanted to go to the official's mansion to take a look. She and Chunhe had just returned from the yamen. Apart from her, Xu Miaomiao really couldn't think of who else could have taken Xiaobao away.
"Miao Miao, what are you doing?"
Gu Yuan's mother asked as she looked at Xu Miaomiao who was holding a wooden stick and preparing to go out.
"Xiaobao is a good child and won't wander around. He was probably kidnapped. I'll go to Mr. Cui's mansion to check."
"What you mean is..." Gu Yuanniang widened her eyes in disbelief, and only came to her senses after Xu Miaomiao left.
“Dangdangdang—”
Xu Miaomiao knocked on the door of the official residence, but it took a long time before someone opened the door.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Xu Miaomiao, the old lady asked me to see her for treatment."
Xu Miaomiao explained that unless Old Lady Cui was moved out, Chunhe would most likely not let her in.
One day it was the old lady's request, and Xiao Si immediately released Xu Miaomiao.
The Yuanwai Mansion was extremely bustling today, in stark contrast to the last time she came.
Xu Miaomiao searched the yard but couldn't find any trace of Xiaobao. She only saw maids busy surrounding a room, with basins of blood being carried out of the room.
Xu Miaomiao had no time to think, and was ready to use this time to look for Xiaobao. As soon as she turned around, she ran face to face with a nanny.
"It's you."
Nanny looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise.
After thinking about it in her memory, Xu Miaomiao remembered that this was someone close to Chunhe.
As expected, the woman's expression suddenly changed and she glared at Xu Miaomiao: "Why are you here?"
"I need to ask your Chunhe girl about this." Xu Miaomiao looked at the woman in front of her with dissatisfaction, "Tell me, where is Xiaobao?"
The nanny's eyes were full of emotions, and a woman's roar could be heard from inside the room: "You are a doctor, you can even save the wife, please save our little girl, she is having a difficult delivery and is dying."
Xu Miaomiao's brows relaxed a little. As a doctor, she couldn't just ignore what she was doing: "After the job is done, release Xiaobao."
"Okay, okay." The nanny agreed readily.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chunhe sweating and lying weakly on the bed: "Where's the master? Where's the master!"
The maid beside her quickly agreed: "Little girl, the master is doing business outside and can't come back for a while."
The maid saw Chunhe's appearance and was sweating all over her forehead. It was not until she saw Xu Miaomiao that she saw her savior: "Doctor Xu, you must save our little girl."
If Chunhe had an accident, these maids would be in trouble.
Chun He was dazed and only saw Xu Miaomiao. He grabbed her hands with both hands and pleaded, "Xu Miaomiao, you can even save Gu Yuanniang, please save me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted again.
Xu Miaomiao patted her hands comfortingly. No matter what happened before, Chunhe was now just a patient to her. Xu Miaomiao got into a good state of mind and immediately checked Chunhe's condition.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and Xu Miaomiao finally took the child out successfully.
But because the baby stayed in the belly for too long, it was already dead.
"Child, child." The nanny gently rocked the child in her arms, but the only response she got was silence.
"The baby has been in the womb for too long and has died." Xu Miaomiao explained, "She is too weak and needs to be recuperated."
Mammy glanced at Chunhe who had fainted on the bed, and then looked at Xu Miaomiao. If the child was gone, Chunhe would definitely punish her severely. Now, there was only...
Madam looked at Xu Miaomiao thoughtfully and said, "Come here, arrest her. She killed Madam Chun's child. We must not let her escape!"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes darkened. Seeing the people below starting to attack, she immediately took out three silver needles and nailed them into Madam's neck: "Let's see who dares!"
"Xu Miaomiao, are you crazy? I am Madam Chun's wet nurse!"
"You want me to take the blame? That's impossible." Xu Miaomiao brought the silver needle in her hand closer to the nanny and said, "Take my child with you. I can't die with you."
As he spoke, the silver needle in his hand moved closer, causing Madam to scream in pain. She immediately ordered her men, "Go and bring the child here quickly."
After a while, Xu Miaomiao saw a familiar figure appear at the door, gesturing to his mother with his hands. Only then did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief.
"You can let me go now."
"Don't worry, we will release you once we get out of this county magistrate's mansion safely."
Xu Miaomiao grabbed the woman, and Xu Miaomiao followed behind her, slowly walking towards the door.
