Border region of Lai.
In the attic, a slender figure sat by the window, her pale pink cheongsam making her look even more delicate.
She was weaving something, and there was a basket on the table full of hairpins and bracelets that she had woven.
When she got tired of editing, she would stop and rest for a while before continuing her work.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from next door, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet night.
Tang Nuan stopped what she was doing and overheard the conversation between the man and woman.
"Why did you bring the child back directly? Didn't you say you were going to find a place to take care of this?"
"Before I could resolve the situation, those people were hot on my heels, and I didn't dare linger for too long. I could only bring them out first and deal with them later."
“This child keeps crying, quickly gag him, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with if he attracts other people.”
They went into the next room and then left.
The baby's crying gradually faded away.
Where did they steal these children from?
Tang Nuan suppressed her doubts and waited until midnight before pushing open the door and going out.
There was no one in the next room; the surroundings were eerily quiet, and the child lay quietly on the bed.
Tang Nuan reached out and touched the child's face; the child was still breathing.
The child woke up and started to sob.
She gently picked up the child and soothed him until he calmed down.
The baby must have just turned one month old; he's tiny and smells like milk.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll take you back to your room right away."
At that moment, two people came in from outside.
Upon seeing her holding the child, Song Wan immediately shouted angrily, "Give me the child!"
Tang Nuan dodged it and said angrily, "This child is innocent. How could you even arrest a child? Do you have no conscience?"
Song Wan and Chen Qi exchanged a glance. Judging from her words, she didn't know whose child it was.
Chen Qi said, "We saw this child abandoned on the roadside. His family probably didn't want him anymore. We took him in because we felt sorry for him. Please give the child to us."
Tang Nuan did not believe their story. They had committed numerous evil deeds and could kill people without hesitation. She had witnessed them committing murder more than once recently.
How could such an executioner possibly feel any pity for the children on the street?
"No, I need to take the child back to my room."
"You blind bastard, you really deserve a beating!" Song Wan was about to step forward to snatch the child, but Chen Qi held her back.
Chen Qi shook his head at her, signaling her not to do anything.
Tang Nuan took the opportunity to carry the child out and return to her room.
Song Wan: "Why are you stopping me? Why are we afraid of this blind woman? We finally managed to snatch the child away, how can we hand him over to her? If we had known, we would have strangled that child just now."
“We’ll find another opportunity to take the child back. If you provoke her, Siye will cause you trouble again.”
A look of fear flashed in Song Wan's eyes, as if she had recalled some unpleasant memories.
After Tang Nuan carried the child into the house, the child kept crying, as if he was hungry.
There's no baby formula here, what should we do with this child?
Just when she was extremely anxious, Siye, who had been away for many days, returned.
"Why are you waiting for me with the lights on so late?"
He pushed open the door and strode in, his leather boots still covered in mud and his overcoat dripping with raindrops.
Hearing the noise, Tang Nuan quickly got up, a look of panic flashing across her face.
Si Ye's wicked gaze lingered on the child in her arms, his smile freezing slightly. "Where did you get this child?"
“I brought this child from their side; it’s pitiful.”
“You are quite compassionate, but I don’t have the habit of taking in children.”
Siye felt the child was in the way, so he stepped forward and took the child away.
