Chapter 204 The Quietness Was a Little Eerie



Cui Yulu snorted coldly. She knew that Xing Dali wouldn't obediently leave, but she was prepared for it.

Guo Mudan had already left a team of yamen runners hidden around her, so that if Xing Dali caused trouble, she would not let him off easily.

"Since Young Master Xing is so ungrateful, then I don't need to give you any more face. Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of neatly dressed yamen runners walked over from the surrounding area. In fact, Xing Dali had also brought his men with him, but he did not expect that Guo Mudan had a backup plan.

"You win, I'll let it go today, but this score isn't over yet."

Faced with the approaching constables, Xing Dali still had some reservations. He didn't want to go against the county magistrate yet, after all, he needed to make a living here, and it wouldn't be good to have a local official like him.

"Then I'll wait for Young Master Xing to settle the score. Goodbye."

Seeing Xing Dali leave, a group of red-armored guards, hidden behind the yamen runners, also left silently.

However, the little mute boy secretly saw all of this and he had to tell Lu Changfeng.

Thinking of this, a wisp of black mist disappeared into the night.

Cui Liushi had been hiding in the back, eavesdropping on the conversation outside. If Xing Dali forced his way in, she would quickly take Cui Yufang and leave.

Fortunately, Cui Yulu successfully solved the problem, and she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't be too happy yet. Xing Dali has probably figured out some clues, so he won't let it go easily. The crisis is only temporarily over, so don't be too happy."

Cui Liu nodded silently, knowing that as long as Cui Yulu was willing to help, the matter could be easily resolved.

It would be much more convenient than if the mother and daughter had resolved it themselves.

The Han family.

Cao Qiaoniu still harbors some resentment towards Han Hu because of what happened before, and the two of them had another argument over the child these past two days.

This caused Cao Qiaoniu's health to deteriorate, and her complexion became pale. That night, she even left the Han family with her child in her arms.

This greatly worried Liu Meie, the mother-in-law, who wished she could kick her son a couple of times.

"You little bastard, why did you have to cause trouble here? If anything happens to Qiaoniu and the child, I'll never forgive you."

Turning around and seeing her husband still smoking his pipe, she became even angrier.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go find someone! This child is only a few days old. If you take him out, something bad will happen."

Liu Meie glared at Han Bao and Han Chunying again. In short, everyone in the family except Niu Niu was glared at.

"Yes, I'll go find my sister-in-law right away."

"Me too."

Han Bao and Han Chunying quickly ran out, not daring to delay for a moment.

Holding her two children, Cao Qiaoniu didn't know where to go, but she had only one thought: she had to leave Han Hu. That woman had already come to their house; how could she stay in the Han family?

But right now, she doesn't seem to have anywhere to go.

Unconsciously, I carried the child all the way to the entrance of the clinic.

Cao Qiaoniu was already quite weak. When she reached the entrance of the clinic, she suddenly felt dizzy and swayed as she fell to the ground.

Chen Yuan, who happened to be out emptying the dregs of the medicine, saw it.

They quickly called over other workers to carry Cao Qiaoniu into the clinic.

Cui Yulu, who had been planning to rest after receiving the news, got up again and went to the main hall to see Cao Qiaoniu.

When she delivered her baby, she had a vague feeling that there was a problem between Cao Qiaoniu and Han Hu, but she never expected it to be so serious that she had to leave home.

It seems there must be something unspeakable going on here, otherwise, given Cao Qiaoniu's personality, she wouldn't have gone out so easily with a child who's only a few days old.

After taking her pulse, Cui Yulu instructed Chen Yuan to get some warming and nourishing medicine to brew in the back.

He fed her some spiritual spring water and also performed acupuncture on some acupoints.

I need to wake her up first, otherwise she won't be able to handle these two little ones.

As Cao Qiaoniu slowly woke up, the two babies started crying.

"Oh my, you woke up just in time! These two little ones are awake and looking for milk. How about we let them have a couple of sips first?"

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Cui Yulu gently asked her what was wrong.

When Cao Qiaoniu saw the child crying, she quickly took him into her arms and comforted him.

But he still looked a little distracted, clearly preoccupied.

"Sister Cao, why don't we come into my room and rest for a bit?"

Cui Yulu picked up the other baby on her own initiative and gestured for her to follow her back into the house.

Cao Qiaoniu then realized her lapse in composure.

"Look at me. Let's go back inside. I have something I want to talk to you about."

The two of them carried the child back into the house. To prevent the child from crying from hunger, Cui Yulu even had someone specially fetch some milk.

Seeing that Qiaoniu is in such a bad mood, her milk supply probably won't be much.

It's still necessary to prepare some milk.

Even if you have breast milk, it's not enough for two babies.

"Why go through all that trouble? Just make some rice porridge."

“Compared to rice water, I think milk is better for the baby. Sister, don’t worry about these things. You feed the baby first. He’s been crying so much it’s giving me a headache.”

Cui Yulu tapped her head half-jokingly and looked at Cao Qiaoniu with a smile.

Cao Qiaoniu, feeling embarrassed, unbuttoned her clothes and began to breastfeed her child.

Cui Yulu continued reading. She already recognized the handwriting in the book; Fu Xiaoyu had taught her.

During her time in the Ghost Cave, Fu Xiaoyu taught her many words.

Now she has no problem reading books on her own.

Don't you want to know why I ran away?

Cui Yulu looked up from her book. Cao Qiaoniu looked at her and seemed to remember someone: Fu Xiaoyu. Her eyes were surprisingly similar to Fu Xiaoyu's, cold yet with a hint of concern.

"When you want to talk, I'm naturally willing to listen. If you don't want to talk, asking is pointless and will only annoy you, won't it?"

When Cao Qiaoniu heard her answer like that, she suddenly laughed.

"You know what? The look in your eyes and the tone of your voice just now reminded me of someone. I never expected that your manner of speaking and tone of voice would be exactly the same as his."

Cui Yulu's gaze faltered for a moment, then she smiled and asked, "Is Sister referring to Han Yu'an?"

Cao Qiaoniu shook her head: "It's not that you and him are not alike, but don't you think that your way of speaking and your expression are exactly the same as Fu Xiaoyu's?"

She lowered her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.

"Do I sound like the prince?"

"You're blinded by your own involvement. Actually, you've probably had the prince in your heart for a long time, but you're bound by your promise to your grandmother and want to take care of Han Yu'an. However, you two are not the right people for each other, so you're both troubled and don't know how to get along with each other."

Cui Yulu fell silent after hearing this.

The two babies next to me fell asleep after they had finished their milk.

The room was eerily quiet.
