Lu Baichuan didn't plan to get involved in those matters anymore. As long as the emperor didn't ask him about them, he would pretend he didn't know anything. After all, his main focus was on developing in the capital, and it wouldn't be good to offend people.
But unexpectedly, because of a treasure, those people have turned their attention to his family, and even targeted his son.
He could tolerate this, but he would not tolerate it any longer; he would not spare a single one of those people.
Although he only met those three people once today, he could roughly guess who sent them. Very few people knew that the Pangu Jade was in their hands, and it was definitely related to Consort Hui.
Since Consort Hui's family is going to make things difficult for him, then let's just stop living together altogether.
Jiang Jiuniang was unaware of all the thoughts he was having. She carefully examined Gou'er and confirmed that Gou'er was not in immediate danger. Moreover, if handled correctly, the Gu worm could save Gou'er's life in a critical moment. Her complexion improved slightly.
"Although I can't undo it for now, Gou'er is fine for the time being. This Gu worm moved on its own and is not under human control. As long as we don't provoke it, Gou'er will be alright."
After hearing Lu Baichuan talk about the dwarf, Jiang Jiuniang guessed that she had transferred the Gu worm from the dwarf to Gou'er. The dwarf himself knew a little about Gu worms, and he probably put the Gu worm on himself to protect himself.
The reason why the Gu worm transferred to the dog's body was because the Gu worm sensed that the dwarf was about to die and wanted to find another body to inhabit.
The dog's body is a good habitat for the Gu worms. It is young, and its blood and flesh are fresh, which is much better than that of an older dwarf.
"It's good that you're alright."
He bent down and patted the dog's head, instantly feeling much more relaxed.
"Let me treat my son's wound first. You go out and tell your parents not to worry."
"good."
Lu Baichuan responded and went out, leaving Jiang Jiuniang to keep the dog company.
Jiang Jiuniang was also upset. Originally, it was a good thing that her parents had come from afar to visit them, and the family was supposed to spend some time together happily before going their separate ways. Who knew that these things would happen? In just a few days, Sun Shi had cried several times.
The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Sun, have a great wish for the health and safety of their children and grandchildren. They have always assured each other that they are safe outside and nothing will happen to them. However, what they see are all kinds of dangers. How worried they must be.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of childbirth, none of the people who kidnapped the dog today would have escaped.
She held the dog in her arms, applied ointment to the swollen area on his neck, and simply bandaged the wound on his wrist.
After taking care of everything, she held the dog tightly and refused to let go. Recalling the dream she had just had, she felt a pang of sadness and worried that the dog would blame her for not protecting him when he woke up.
Just then, the dog slowly opened its eyes, saw that it was its mother holding it, called out "Mother", and then tried to get up.
"Son, if you feel unwell, tell your mother."
She tried her best to smile, not wanting the dog to know she had a parasitic worm and thus overthink things.
"I felt fine, just a little pain in the back of my neck. I sprinkled the medicine powder that my mother used on them, and they knocked me unconscious."
The dog shook its head, looking very well-behaved and sensible.
"Don't worry, your mother will definitely avenge you."
Jiang Jiuniang gently rubbed his head, her tone very tender.
"Are you hungry? Go to the kitchen and ask your aunt for some food. Your father hasn't eaten today either. Go and eat with him."
The dog nodded and then asked, "Mother, can I see my little sister first?"
"sure."
Jiang Jiuniang pulled him to the crib and showed him her sleeping baby girl.
"My little sister is so tiny! Hehe, I finally have a little sister!"
The dog just stood there, not touching her. He knew he was dirty, and his little sister was still young and prone to illness.
"Mother, I'm going to have dinner with Father first, and then I'll come see my sister after I've bathed and changed!"
The dog was very excited and ran out after getting Jiang Jiuniang's permission.
Old Man Lu and Mrs. Sun were initially distressed by Gou'er's unconscious state, but then they saw Gou'er run out, cheerfully reporting that he was safe and sound, and then shouting that he was hungry and wanted to eat. Only then did the two old people come back to their senses from their grief, and they held Gou'er and looked at him repeatedly.
"How could those thieves be so heartless as to lay a hand on a child! Look how swollen his neck is! Those heartless bastards!"
Mrs. Sun felt sorry for her grandson and kept scolding him, but she didn't stop working. She went to the kitchen to get food for her son and grandson.
Gou'er was observant and noticed that Sun's eyes were constantly red. He knew she must have cried a lot today. While eating, he said, "Grandma, don't be sad. Look at me, I'm fine now, aren't I? Don't worry, I will definitely study martial arts harder in the future so that no one can bully me!"
He will never forget how powerful those people were today; they were people he couldn't even beat.
Today, Father went alone, and I was worried that Father wouldn't be able to handle it. Fortunately, Father still had the things Mother gave him, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.
While eating, the dog tried its best to make its grandparents happy. The two elders felt sorry for the dog, who was kidnapped but still had to take care of their feelings, but they were also pleased that their child was so outstanding and would definitely be able to stand on his own in the future.
Lu Baichuan remained silent, simply eating his meal with his head down. After finishing, he spoke up, "Father, Mother, after Jiu'er finishes her postpartum confinement, I will personally escort you both back to the capital. I have some matters to attend to, and I can put your minds at ease by escorting you all the way back."
Those people didn't succeed this time, they'll definitely come back. He needs to ensure his family's safety and then find time to eliminate the forces behind them, otherwise this threat will never end.
The two elders paused for a moment, wanting to say something but remaining silent, only nodding.
They originally came to help their son and daughter-in-law, but they didn't expect to be of little help. When things went wrong, they just panicked and even had to ask their kidnapped grandson to comfort them.
They always knew that their children and grandchildren had it tough, so they wanted to do their part. But now they realize that not causing trouble is the biggest help they can give them. Although they still feel a little bitter, they are at least at peace with it.
Children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, so they won't cause any trouble.
Besides, we've been away for quite a while now, and there's still a lot to do in the capital, so it's time to go back.
"Then let Yue Shu and the others stay and take care of your wife. When it's time for you to leave, they can go back to the capital."
Lu Baichuan readily agreed, as there was no better solution.
By the time they finished eating, it was already late at night. Everyone was exhausted after a lot of things had happened that day. The two elders went back to rest, but Gou'er went back to wash up and then went back to see his sister.
