Qiao Tianjing knew that this should be Mother Rong from the orphanage, so he relaxed his frown and walked forward quickly.
"Is this Mother Rong? I am the eldest son of the Qiao family."
When Mother Rong heard the voice, she looked up and saw a handsome young man in front of her. His brows were quite similar to those of Mrs. Qiao, whom she had met several times.
"Mr. Qiao! Mr. Qiao!"
Mother Rong seemed to have found her backbone all of a sudden and hurried forward.
"Mr. Qiao, is Miss Xiaolan okay?"
After she woke up, the first thing she did was to check on the children. They were all there and all were fine.
She prayed to the heavens, the earth, and the Buddha, and then she thought of Miss Xiaolan who had protected the children with her, and she became extremely anxious!
Qiao Tianjing nodded quickly, "Mother Rong, Miss Xiaolan was injured, but she is no longer in danger of death. She is inside."
"I was looking for you to take care of her, and now is the perfect time."
Upon hearing this, Rong's mother hurriedly exclaimed, "Thank God!"
By the time Rong's mother entered the room, Qiao Bo had already left through the window with Qiao Jiaojiao.
Mother Rong came to the bedside with a heavy heart. When she saw Sheng Xiuran's disheveled appearance, torn dress, and the bloody cloth on her shoulder, tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.
"Child, you are such a miserable child!"
Most of the mothers in the hospital had woken up. Mother Rong quickly asked someone to help boil water, washed Sheng Xiuran's face and changed her clothes, and carefully re-bandaged her wounds.
After all this hustle and bustle, it was already the second half of the night.
Mother Rong asked everyone else to go and see the child. She sat by the bed for a long time, her eyes red, and she couldn't help sighing.
Who could have thought that such a small, peaceful orphanage would actually bring about such a disaster?
Mother Rong was a sensible person. She knew that those evil people wanted to harm the Qiao family and that their orphanage was implicated as a result of their anger, but she did not blame the Qiao family at all.
Not to mention the Qiao family's selfless help to the orphanage over the past year or so without expecting anything in return, how can we blame the victims instead of the bad guys?
Qiao Family...
Alas, it seems that the Qiao family is not having a good time either.
It's hard for them to donate money and arrange a way out for the children, and this time they even went to great lengths to expand the relief home, but it turns out that the thieves can't tolerate the Qiao family!
In this world...why is it that good people don’t get rewarded in this world?
Thinking of this, Rong's mother felt heartbroken and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Miss Xiaolan, you have to be well!"
Mother Rong gently held Sheng Xiu Ran's hand. Although she already knew that Sheng Xiu Ran was the descendant of a traitor, her attitude did not change at all.
Moreover, she had heard from other mothers that Miss Xiaolan was tortured like this in order to protect her children, so she felt even more sorry for Sheng Xiuran.
"Miss Xiaolan, you need to wake up soon. The thing you asked me to do..."
Thinking of this, Mother Rong suddenly remembered what Sheng Xiuran said when he was in danger. She immediately looked towards the door, then squatted down cautiously.
Qiao Jiaojiao just picked a room at random, but she didn't expect that it was Sheng Xiuran's room by coincidence.
Mother Rong silently said in her heart: "The second piece from the left..."
She groped carefully under the bed with her rough hands, and sure enough, she touched a moving stone!
It's here!
Mother Rong's heart skipped a beat and she walked to the door and listened carefully. Seeing that it was quiet outside, she mustered up the courage to go back and take down the stone.
She leaned over and took a look in the candlelight, and sure enough, she saw a letter lying inside!
She was shocked and didn't know what secret was recorded in the letter, but since Miss Xiaolan had asked her to give it to the Qiao family, it must be beneficial to the Qiao family!
"I don't know when Miss Xiaolan will wake up..."
Mother Rong hesitated again and again, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a soft call came from **.
"Mother Rong? Am I...am I dreaming?"
When Mrs. Rong heard this, she was startled and looked up, seeing Sheng Xiuran looking at her with a confused expression.
"Miss Xiaolan!"
Mother Rong was overjoyed and quickly stood up and held Sheng Xiuran's hand. Seeing that her eyes were as bright as usual, she burst into tears of joy.
"May the Bodhisattva bless you, Miss Xiaolan, good fortune will come to you after all your misfortunes. Everything will go smoothly in the future. May the Bodhisattva bless you!"
Sheng Xiuran looked at the real Rong's mother, her eyes gradually widened and her face was full of disbelief.
"I... I'm not dreaming? I'm not dead yet?"
"Pah, pah, pah! Miss Xiaolan, please don't say such unlucky words!"
"Come on, drink some water!"
Mother Rong turned around, poured a cup of still warm water from the table, carefully lifted Sheng Xiuran's head, and slowly fed her half a cup.
As the warm water went down her throat, the feeling of unreality slowly faded away. Sheng Xiuran's eyes turned red, and she finally believed that she was still alive.
"Mother Rong, how did I get back?"
She was clearly taken away by Zhou Bo and shot by an arrow, but not only did she come back now, but she also felt much better.
Mother Rong's face was full of smiles, and she said in a gentle voice:
"Miss Xiaolan, it was Young Master Qiao who saved you and treated your injuries. I see that you look much better."
"It's just that I still have a lot of injuries on my body, so I need to take good care of myself."
Sheng Xiuran was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally murmured again: "It's the Qiao family..."
"Mother Rong, are you looking for that letter?"
"Ah? Oh! Right!"
When Mother Rong saw Sheng Xiu Ran wake up, she was so happy that she forgot about everything else. She hurriedly bent down, took out the letter and handed it to Sheng Xiu Ran.
"Miss Xiaolan, the letter is here."
Sheng Xiuran wanted to raise her hand to take the letter, but ended up pulling the wound on her shoulder and she cried out in pain.
Upon seeing this, Rong's mother quickly stuffed the letter under Sheng Xiuran's pillow and quickly warned her, "Don't move, don't move. The wound on your shoulder is extremely horrific!"
Sheng Xiuran gasped in pain and immediately lay back down obediently.
Mother Rong was still chattering about her concern for Sheng Xiuran, muttering to herself all the time.
Sheng Xiuran looked up at the ceiling of the bed, his mind filled with thoughts.
She thought of her mother Rong who loved her so much, of the many lovely and innocent children in the orphanage, and of her own helpless second half of life.
After a while, she suddenly spoke, her voice deep and full of unprecedented firmness.
"Mother Rong, I want to see the young master of the Qiao family tomorrow morning. Can you help me call him over?"
————
Qiao Tianjing woke up at daybreak.
He arranged for secret guards to clean up everything last night and sent away the prince's men. It took only an hour in total.
The constables from Daxing County also arrived last night, but Zhufeng had been burned beyond recognition and there was no news of Zhou Bo yet.
He did not have any solid evidence, so the attack on the orphanage could only be attributed to banditry.
Fortunately, those assassins who died during the day were reported. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!
He wanted to see where the second prince was hiding so many assassins!
He did not ask for leave for today's morning court session and had to rush back to the city as soon as possible.
And my little sister...
He was so tired last night and was worried about waking up his little sister, so he didn't go to look for her. He didn't know how his little sister was doing.
Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing tidied up his appearance a little and pushed the door open to walk out.
Qiao Jiaojiao slept very well last night, so she woke up before dawn.
She was originally worried that she would get sick, but she didn't expect to feel unexpectedly energetic after waking up.
At this time, she was sitting in the house with Qiao Bo. Qiao Tianjing pushed the door open carefully and met Qiao Jiaojiao's big black eyes.
“Brother!”
Qiao Jiaojiao walked forward happily and threw herself into Qiao Tianjing's arms.
Just as Qiao Tianjing picked up Qiao Jiaojiao with a smile, Rong's mother's polite voice was heard outside the door.
"Master Qiao, are you awake yet? Master Qiao, Miss Xiaolan wants to see you."
