Luo Xuening raised her eyes, glanced at the person who came, and nodded lightly, as a way of expressing her gratitude to Fang Jinyu.
"How old is this child? When was he born? Do you usually take care of him? What are his characteristics and living habits? Can you tell us about them?"
Luo Xue Ning returned to her serious and solemn look. The beautiful young woman's face turned pale under the double pressure from Luo Xue Ning and Fang Jinyu.
"Yes, I gave birth to him and I took care of him. He is only a little over a month old and has a mole on his neck.
”
After hearing what the woman said, Luo Xue Ning just lowered her eyes and saw several nail scratches on the little baby's body. Then she looked at the long nails on the beautiful young woman's fingertips and nodded.
Who would have thought that this gentle-looking beautiful young woman was actually a child abuser. As expected, since the child was not her biological child, she would not care about the child herself.
"You said, this is your child, so now reach out and hold him, do you think he wants you or not?"
The beautiful young woman was stunned. Under the gaze of the crowd, she could only stretch out her hand. However, the child in Luoxue's arms seemed to have some intelligence. It turned its head away and ignored the hand extended by the beautiful young woman.
At this point, the onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment. What child wouldn't want his own mother? Unless, this child was really brought by the young woman from someone else.
The beautiful young woman turned pale, her lips trembling, and she tried her best to suppress her pain. However, Luo Xuening turned around and brought the baby in her arms to the older woman.
The woman's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand tremblingly, with her hand still raised in the air. The child then opened his arms towards the woman, asking for a loving hug.
Luo Xuening smiled brightly. Sometimes, the subtle emotions between parents and children are really magical.
She looked at the woman. Her chest was slightly wet. She probably had too much milk and her clothes were soaked through. When the child smelled the milk scent of her biological mother, she naturally reached out to get closer to the woman.
In this case, it became clear that the woman was the child's biological mother.
The beautiful young woman was suddenly panicked, but she saw Luo Xue Ning turned around, and her pretty face looked at the beautiful young woman calmly.
"Do you know where your flaw is? You have long nails on your hands, and you scratched the child more than once, which is enough to show that you don't care for the child. Also, you are clearly well-dressed, but you let the child wear shabby clothes. The child is only a little over a month old, and he should be breastfed, but you didn't even find a wet nurse for him. You only fed him rice porridge. There are still traces of rice porridge on his body that haven't been cleaned up yet."
"Looking at you, I can feel that you are a person who cares a lot about your appearance. However, you let your child get dirty, which is enough to show that you don't love this child. When this woman came to look for the child, I was sure that you were holding someone else's child. No wonder you didn't cherish it so much."
Luo Xuening's thorough analysis only made the beautiful young woman nervous. She went from being shocked to looking as pale as death. In just a few words, she was seen through.
"What are you doing, snatching children from the street?"
Next to her ear, a rough voice came from outside the crowd. Before Luo Xuening could react, she saw a figure running over and snatching the child from the woman's arms.
"We bought this child ourselves. The deed is here. Do you still want to snatch it back?"
The man who came had a loud and rough voice, was wearing a long gown, was of middle age, and was dressed elegantly. He gave the beautiful young woman a comforting look. Luo Xu Ning guessed that this man was the beautiful young woman's husband.
Luo Xuening glanced at the deed that the middle-aged man took out and couldn't help but frowned. My goodness, it was written in black and white that the baby, who was less than two months old, was sold to someone else. And the signature was a man's name, and it seemed that he was the husband of the middle-aged woman.
"You bastard, how could you be so cruel? This is your own son, how could you sell him? You sold your son."
The woman finally understood. She grabbed a man's arm and shook him desperately, her eyes full of accusations. Her husband had concealed the fact and sold her own son. No one could accept this. The woman's reaction at this time was normal.
"Master Fang, according to the laws of Nanshao, what is the crime of trafficking in human beings?"
Luo Xuening only knew that in modern times, their crime of human trafficking was punishable by a prison sentence of not less than five years but not more than ten years. However, she didn't know what the regulations were in this regard in the country of Nanshao.
Fang Jinyu was speechless when she asked this question, and could only tell Luo Xuening awkwardly: "This, it seems that our country has not yet had clear legal constraints."
After all, Nanshao is separated from the modern world by more than a thousand years of civilization, so its laws are naturally not as perfect as those of the modern world. Moreover, Luo Xuening suddenly remembered that in Nanshao, just like in ancient China, the buying and selling of human beings was legal, and many people from poor families would sell their children to rich families as slaves. Therefore, if these people were guilty of this, it would be a stretch, and if they were not guilty, wouldn't it be too easy for them?
Fang Jinyu shook her head helplessly at Luo Xuening. On the other side, the woman who had just snatched the child had already been dragged by her husband and ran out of the crowd.
Long Moxun finally couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he raised his foot, squeezed through the crowd, and stood next to Luo Xuening.
At that time, the couple who bought the child were still arrogantly accusing Luo Xuening: "You are the only one who is meddling. The couple have agreed to sell the child, why are you still here making a fuss?"
Luo Xuening was silent. Reason and law collided. Even if she was right, she was not the biological parent of the child. She was just meddling in an idle matter. She pursed her lips, and a trace of loneliness flashed across her bright eyes.
"Who said she was just joining in the fun?"
The voice was indifferent, cold and without a trace of warmth. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and suddenly panicked. Jing... Prince Jing, why would he appear here?
The shocking face that appeared before everyone made everyone feel as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They all knelt before Prince Jing. Even the arrogant middle-aged man just now fell silent and trembled in front of Prince Jing.
The name of devil is not called for nothing. Luo Xuening also felt the chilling aura brought by Prince Jing at this moment.
"You said that Nan Shao has not yet made laws against the private sale of children. So, today, I will give you a law."
If someone else said this, he would probably be branded as disrespectful to hairdressers. But who is Prince Jing? He is a man who even the emperor gives way to. Since he said this, it means that he is the one who really decides on justice today.
No one dared to speak. Lord Jing took the child from the stunned middle-aged man and handed it to the woman. As for the others, Jing Wan simply said, "Give it to the prefect and let him deal with it as he sees fit."
This expression was so handsome. Luo Xue Ning nodded secretly and had to admit that sometimes, a violent machine like Prince Jing was needed to solve a problem.
"Follow me."
Long Moxun pulled Luo Xuening over, walked past Fang Jinyu, and strode out of the crowd.
"Thank you, my Lord."
"You don't need to thank me. Anyway, in your heart, I am the kind of devil who kills people without blinking an eye."
Long Moxun ruthlessly exposed Luo Xue Ning's thoughts. Luo Xue Ning could only feel embarrassed. She had just slightly changed her opinion of this iron-blooded prince. Why was he so eager to slap himself in the face?
"Oh, anyway, the prince doesn't care about other people's opinions, right?"
"Luo Xue Ning, I am kind enough to remind you today that the relationship between the Fang and Gu families is not as simple as you think. You'd better keep your distance from Fang Jinyu."
Long Moxun's expression suddenly became serious, which surprised Luo Xuening. Are she that close to Prince Jing and Fang Jinyu? Moreover, why did Prince Jing tell her all this?
Luo Xue Ning certainly didn't know that what Long Mo Xun cared about was Fang Jinyu's words "my people" just now. Luo Xue Ning was a talent, and he could choose not to accept Luo Xue Ning as his subordinate. But he couldn't let Luo Xue Ning belong to Shou Wang's faction. And yesterday, Long Lingxun's performance was enough to show that he was already interested in Luo Xue Ning.
"Is your Highness interfering too much?" Luo Xuening spoke bluntly. Long Moxun was already used to it.
"You are my king's man."
“…”Who would believe it?
“
"Will Your Majesty take the initiative to seize any resources that he doesn't want his rivals to take?"
Long Moxun looked at the clever woman and snorted coldly: "So what? You helped me investigate the case. I was just kindly reminding you. You can think about it yourself."
Luo Xuening understood the meaning of the phrase "consider the matter" very well. She knew that it was impossible to reason with someone like Long Moxun.
She offered a condition in exchange, but he, Long Moxun, was not one to take a loss. Since he had already been so kind to her, if he wanted to sever ties with him, it would be impossible.
She paused and continued, "I have no control over what the prince wants to do. As for the reason why I helped the prince investigate the case, it was just because of a deal. Xue Ning is just a woman and never tried to take sides."
She said it very clearly, no matter what Long Moxun wanted to do, it would be impossible for her team to do so.
Long Moxun still had an indifferent expression. Luo Xuening frowned, and saw a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion running over hurriedly and whispering a few words to Luo Xuening. Luo Xuening's face suddenly changed, she turned around and followed the servant away.
Long Moxun looked at Luo Xue Ning Cang Huang's backs, knowing that something might have happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He sighed and kept on sighing.
"No one wants to get involved in the chaos, but Luo Xue Ning, the moment you showed off your elegance in front of me, you should have known that you couldn't escape."
