"yes."
"You can't starve us to death." Without even looking, Zhang Xiuyuan knew that he, a man without any martial arts skills and with a child, could not escape Shen Chaomu's control.
"Xiuyuan, how could I starve you to death? You and the child stay here peacefully and think slowly. I have enough patience to wait for your answer."
She seemed to want to say something else, but someone seemed to be looking for her outside, so she had to give up.
"I'll arrange for someone to bring food over right away."
Before leaving, Shen Chaomu took one last deep look at Zhang Xiuyuan before turning and leaving.
Not long after Shen Chaomu left, a servant brought food over and Zhang Xiuyuan hurriedly fed the little bun.
The little bun was very well behaved and fell asleep after eating.
Zhang Xiuyuan sighed slightly. Only the little kid could be so heartless. He didn't know how his wife was doing now, and what Shen Chaomu's last words meant.
He couldn't figure it out, he just knew that his wife was afraid of danger.
I hope my wife is safe and sound.
I don’t know if she can find out that he and Xiao Baozi were kidnapped by Shen Chaomu.

In a house somewhere in the capital, a man in a black cloak sat at the head of the table, his face covered by a veil.
There was a group of people kneeling below.
The man spoke, his voice rough, as if it contained sand.
"You are all useless. You couldn't kill a person and let them escape. I asked you to kidnap an ordinary person and a child, but you couldn't do it either." The man slammed his palm on the table, and the table cracked.
"Please forgive me, my lord." The person kneeling below immediately bowed his head and confessed his guilt.
"There's no antidote tonight. As long as we don't catch the person, there's no antidote."
His light words made the people below shudder.
They were all poisoned by a Gu poison that only took effect at night, not during the day. They had to take the antidote every day. If there was no antidote, they would not die, but they would have to endure the heart-gnawing pain of the poison all night long. The feeling made those who had experienced it before shiver.

"Husband, it's bad, Young Master Lansheng has been kidnapped."
Liansheng was making clothes for Zhuang Rongjun when she suddenly heard a servant scream. The sharp needle accidentally pierced her fingertip and a drop of blood instantly oozed out.
He immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on? Why did Lansheng disappear?"
With tears in his eyes, the servant took out a letter and told the story again.
Because the plague was rampant during this period, everyone was detained in the mansion, and Lansheng was no exception, not to mention that he was also a well-behaved person.
But today, when he accidentally passed by the general's mansion near the back door, a man suddenly rushed in, dropped a letter, and kidnapped Lan Sheng.
When the secret guards around reacted and chased after him, Lan Sheng had already disappeared, which shows how high his martial arts skills were.
Lin Liansheng clenched his fists. He didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to openly enter the general's mansion and kidnap people.
The general's mansion is very large, and it is impossible for Zhuang Rongjun's secret guards to take care of every place. The back door is relatively remote, so there are fewer secret guards.
Even so, the person who kidnapped Lansheng was too bold.
Lansheng is his only relative. If something happens to him, how will he face his parents?
Lin Liansheng did not dare to delay and quickly opened the letter.
Lin Liansheng had never seen the handwriting on the letter before. He was illiterate before, but after coming to the capital, Zhuang Rongjun taught him every day, and now he can understand it.
