Upon hearing this, the circus performers immediately looked at the person in the corner who had been stabbed several times but was still alive, and couldn't help but shudder.
Originally, as long as they insisted they didn't know, these people couldn't do anything to them. But that person couldn't help but confess, not only exposing their hideout but also implicating them.
They had been using the identity of an acrobatic troupe for a long time without anyone suspecting them. If that little kid hadn't suddenly run over to see the monkeys, they wouldn't have thought of stealing them, which resulted in such a big trouble for themselves.
Yes, this is actually the first time they have arrested a child on the street. Previously, they would first stake out the area to find out how many children were in the surrounding neighborhoods, and then send someone to secretly take the child away.
Little did they know that one wrong step would lead to another, and they ended up kicking a hornet's nest.
Watching Lu Baichuan leave, the members of the acrobatic troupe remained completely silent.
After taking a nap, He Jiuniang took a carriage directly from home to the patient's residence for a consultation, the last of which was the Ming family's residence.
Ling Xue waited at the door early. When she saw the carriage coming, she looked out from a distance. When He Jiu Niang saw this, she reached out from the carriage window and waved.
"Madam He, I heard you sent someone to tell me that the young master has been found. Is he alright?"
As soon as they got off the car, Ling Xue rushed over to greet them. The people from the Ming family had been busy searching for Gou'er throughout the city yesterday. Fortunately, He Jiu Niang had received news of Gou'er in advance and sent someone to inform them, which allowed them to gather their forces back from outside. Jiang Ruoya was finally relieved.
"It's nothing, I was just a little frightened, but I slept it off and I'm fine now."
He Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh when she thought of her son leading a group of children in martial arts practice at the Taoist temple. He remained calm in the face of danger and was able to motivate everyone to cheer up. Her son was truly an outstanding person at such a young age.
"That's good. Our lady was so worried yesterday!"
During this time, He Jiuniang got along well with the two sisters, and the two of them went in hand in hand.
Ling Xue continued, "My wife's condition has really improved a lot. She hasn't had a relapse for a long time, and although she was worried yesterday, she got sleepy and fell asleep after a while. If it were before, we wouldn't have dared to even think about it!"
"For a person to be healthy, they need to sleep well. Now that Madam is sleeping better, her health will gradually improve. I will also treat her mental health slowly. I can't rush things. If it's too fast, Madam might not be able to handle it, and it could backfire."
"Hmm! No rush. My husband said that Madam is already doing very well as she is now. There's no need for her to remember those things. Remembering those things would only cause Madam more pain."
As the two were talking, they arrived at the main courtyard, but Jiang Ruoya was not there. Ling Xue said, "Madam should be making pastries with Master in the small kitchen. She said that the young master was frightened and she had to make some delicious food to calm him down."
"Does your master help your wife make pastries?"
He Jiuniang was somewhat surprised. She knew that Mingze doted on his wife, but she didn't expect him to do so much.
It is said that a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen, and in this day and age, it is truly remarkable that Mingze can do this.
For Lady Jiang to meet him was a blessing in disguise.
"Yes, don't let our master's serious demeanor fool you. He's incredibly good to his wife. Not only does he not stray outside, but he's also willing to accompany her in doing what she enjoys. She likes baking pastries, so our master often cooks with her."
When the topic turned to the master and mistress's relationship, Ling Xue couldn't hide her maternal smile, which was clearly that of someone who was eager to ship the couple. He Jiu Niang laughed at her for being cute. Just then, Jiang Ruo Ya and Ming Ze returned, each carrying a plate, with Ling Yue behind them also carrying one.
"Jiu'er is here! How's Yu'er? Why didn't you bring him along so I can see him? I'll go see him myself later!"
She talked to herself for a while, then turned to Mingze and said, "Mingze, I'm going to see Yu'er later, and I'll go play outside while I'm at it!"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Mingze smiled indulgently, as if he were coaxing a child.
He Jiuniang smiled awkwardly. She didn't know where Lu Baichuan had taken her son or when he would be back!
She hurriedly said, "Yu'er went out to play today and we don't know when he'll be back. How about this, I'll bring him over tomorrow morning. Madam gave him a little gold lock before, and he's been insisting on thanking Madam in person."
"Oh, that's fine! I'll cook him something delicious again tomorrow! These are all freshly made, you can take them all back with you later."
Jiang Ruoya clapped her hands happily, her every move carrying a touch of childlike innocence.
Jiang Ruoya had seen Gou'er on the way to escape the famine, but now her memory is confused and she doesn't remember. She keeps talking to Mingze about how she hasn't seen her little grandson yet.
Regardless of whether He Jiuniang was Jiang Ruoya's biological daughter or not, she was already Jiang Ruoya's daughter in Jiang Ruoya's heart. Under Mingze's patient guidance, she did not force He Jiuniang to acknowledge her, but she always regarded herself as her mother.
Anyway, everyone has their own opinion.
"good!"
He Jiuniang readily agreed and then began to treat Jiang Ruoya with acupuncture.
After Jiang Ruoya fell asleep, He Jiuniang and Mingze went to the outer room to talk.
"Master Ming, now that Madam's physical health has almost recovered, I'm about to begin helping her regain her mental clarity. Given what I told you before, to help Madam forget what happened ten years ago, have you considered this carefully, Master Ming? Because once treatment begins, it will be irreversible."
Although she had received clear support before, He Jiuniang still wanted to ask him again and give him a chance to choose.
Mingze thought the treatments were being carried out simultaneously and that Jiang Ruoya should have forgotten most of it by now. However, he did not expect that He Jiuniang had only been helping Jiang Ruoya regulate her body during this period, and had not yet begun to erase her memories.
In just a short while, Mingze was caught in a dilemma.
He naturally couldn't bear to erase her memories from ten years ago without her knowledge, but considering that those memories were unpleasant and had even tormented her, causing her to lose sleep and become mentally unstable, he hardened his heart and nodded.
"I've thought it through. Losing that memory is a good thing for her. If she blames me in the future, I'll accept it."
As the man spoke, he took a deep breath, his expression showing some pain, but even more so, heartache.
"Okay, I'll start tomorrow."
With that, she curtsied and turned to leave.
She could get along well with all the maids in the mansion, but she was very careful with Ming Jiuze, the master of the house. Every time she met with Ming Ze alone, she would only talk about Jiang Ruoya's illness and then leave.
Of course, Mingze was the same; neither of them were the kind of people who didn't know their place.
"Dr. He, please wait a moment."
Mingze suddenly called out to her, and He Jiuniang turned around. Mingze asked, "I wonder if Doctor He has ever heard of Qianfan Pavilion?"
