She could feel Long Xiaomin's body trembling. After a while, she turned around holding the baby in her arms. Before Luo Lan could react, she suddenly knelt on her knees and begged:
"Princess, I beg you to help me take care of this child for a few days. My mother is seriously ill, and I need to go back to Quancheng to see her. I can't let my mother and brother know about the existence of this child, otherwise... otherwise they will kill him. I don't feel comfortable leaving her with others, please."
Luo Lan lowered her head and saw that Long Xiaomin was already in tears. She quickly signaled Ahong to help her up.
She looked at the delicate little baby in her arms, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Xiao Min, I can help you take care of him for a few days, but this is not a long-term solution. In my opinion, you should send this child back to Prince Xi's Mansion. After all, he is Leng Xi's flesh and blood."
“No…no…”
Long Xiaomin suddenly shook her head like crazy, and roared ferociously:
"No, Leng Xi must not know about this child's existence. If this child ends up in Prince Xi's Mansion, she will definitely be despised by the Yu family. It will be very difficult for her to survive. Please, please don't tell Leng Xi about this. I beg you."
As he spoke, Long Xiaomin was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Luo Lan.
She couldn't refuse a poor woman's plea.
She looked at the baby in her arms and nodded heavily.
"I still say the same thing. I can help you take care of her temporarily, and I can also help you keep it a secret for a while, but it can't be too long. As you know, I'm going to give birth in a month, and I won't be able to handle everything by then. The most important thing is, if it takes too long, I won't be able to explain the origin of this child to Leng Yu."
Hearing her say this, Long Xiaomin's eyes showed a trace of desire, and she nodded heavily.
"Well, I know. I will come back as soon as possible. Before I come back, can you promise me not to tell Prince Yu about the origins of this child, or anyone else, especially Leng Xi? I'm really afraid that if her identity is revealed to the world, she will be killed."
Although Luo Lan felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary, who would lay hands on a child? But she still nodded in agreement. After all, it was only a few days, so she would not mention it to outsiders.
So she nodded heavily, "Okay, I promise you."
Long Xiaomin looked at her, her eyes red as she blamed herself:
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. But I really have no other choice. The burden on me is too heavy. I have to unload it, otherwise... otherwise I won't be able to face all my family members."
After saying this, she took three steps back, bowed, and bowed deeply to Luo Lan three times. She lowered her head and kissed the child on the face. After a while, she reluctantly handed the child to Ahong with tears in her eyes.
Luo Lan could see that she was very attached to her child, and if it wasn't absolutely necessary, she would not have been able to bear to leave the child behind.
She pursed her lips and looked at Luo Lan with tears in her eyes. As if she had made a great decision, she turned around and ran quickly down the mountain.
Looking at her back, Luo Lan put one hand on his waist and sighed deeply.
Ah Hong looked at the baby in her arms and whispered softly:
"Princess, she won't leave and never come back, right?"
Luo Lan chuckled and shook her head. "No, no mother would be so cruel as to abandon her own child. No wonder she came to me. She has no relatives and the journey to Quancheng is long. How could she feel at ease if she didn't properly place the child?"
"So, what about this child?"
"Take him back and let the wet nurse feed him together. Oh, and tell him he's your relative's child. You can take care of him for a few days."
Ah Hong nodded and said to Ah Cai:
"Acai, support the princess. Let's go back. The princess must be tired."
Ah Hong was right. Luo Lan did feel a little tired. Not only was he physically tired, but he was also mentally tired.
Thinking of Long Xiaomin, she felt sad for her. What would her future be like?
Long Xiaomin, who was hiding behind a big tree, looked at the child in Ahong's arms, covered her mouth tightly and burst into tears.
She also didn't want to abandon her child mercilessly, but she had no other choice. When she thought of her father's tragic death, she felt so angry that her teeth itched.
Since I was the one who caused this disaster, I should solve it myself.
Looking at the backs of Luo Lan and the other two, she murmured softly:
"Princess Yu, I'm sorry, I lied to you. I won't be coming back. I hope... you can let this child live!"
After saying this, she bit her lip, turned around resolutely, and walked in another direction.
She did not return to Quancheng, but avoided Luo Lan and others and returned to the capital again.
At this moment, she was dressed in black, wearing a felt hat, holding a short knife tightly in her hand, and hurried to the Prince Xi's Mansion with the posture of a gangster.
Today is the seventh day since she gave birth to her child. She and her child have only been together for seven days.
The ten months of pregnancy were the most difficult ten months for her. During this period, she imagined countless times the scene of herself stabbing the dagger directly into Leng Xi's belly.
She also fantasized countless times about what her children would look like when they grew up.
But the only thing she couldn't think of was... her own future.
Because she was sure that she had no future, she was determined to die when she left this time.
Now that the child is settled, she has nothing to worry about. It is time to avenge her father.
The person she once loved the most has now become her most hated enemy.
Things in this world are so cruel. Why do all the sufferings have to happen to her?
Perhaps leaving early is a good choice.
