Chapter 286: Panic
After Xu Qingmeng sent the old lady off, she was about to go back to the house when she heard the doorman shout, "Miss Xinting is back!"
Xu Qingmeng and He hurried outside. Just as they reached the yard, they saw Zhou Yuanjia coming in holding Xinting. Xinting in his arms did not look well and looked listless.
"Xinting is back. How is she? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" The question came out before the crowd arrived.
Xinting was in Zhou Yuanjia's arms, completely exhausted. She wanted to say something, but then she felt dizzy again and felt very uncomfortable.
Xu Qingmeng had already walked up to him and asked worriedly, "What's going on? Are you dizzy? Do you want to see a doctor?"
"The doctor checked it out and said that Xinting would be fine after a good night's sleep. It's normal to feel dizzy now," Zhou Yuanjia said.
Xinting was carried all the way back, and now she felt a little relieved. She said softly: "Aunt, grandma, I'm fine!"
Zhou Yuanjia looked at Xin Ting who was feeling uncomfortable in his arms and quickly said, "Don't talk. I'll talk. You close your eyes and rest."
"Xinting is fine. She has taken medicine. The doctor said she will be well tomorrow. There are many people in the clinic, so General Pei arranged for someone to send us back."
With Zhou Yuanjia and Xinting's words, Xu Qingmeng and He finally felt relieved. Xinting was still being held by Zhou Yuanjia. Now that they knew she was fine, they quickly made way and sent Xinting back.
Zhou Yuanjia sent Xu Xinting back to her room, and she fell asleep as soon as she was put on the bed. Even though he knew that Xinting would sleep and wake up the next day, he was still very worried.
Zhou Yuanjia stayed by Xinting's bed, his eyes never leaving her pale face.
Complex emotions surged in his heart, from the anxiety and panic when he first discovered that Xinting was missing, to the relief and heartache when he found her, to the fear that still lingered in his heart.
Every emotion was like a silk thread, tightly entwining his heart and making him unable to let go. Now he really just wanted to marry her as soon as possible so that he could see her all the time.
Xu Qingmeng, however, couldn't sleep. She was worried about Gu Yunyi, Pei Cheng, Fang Ziheng who had followed Gu Yunyi, and what she and Gu Yunyi had guessed.
She was so dazed that she didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was awakened by Zhizhi's crying.
My mind is in a mess. I didn’t sleep well. My brain is still confused and aching.
It was already bright outside, and Xu Qingmeng quickly put on her clothes and picked up Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi, be good. Are you hungry? Don't cry. Mommy will hold you."
Xu Qingmeng just started to feed Zhizhi, with a very peaceful smile on her face, humming an unknown song to coax Zhizhi.
Yesterday was actually the first time that Xu Qingmeng had been away from the two little guys for such a long time. Now, looking at the little guys’ faces, her heart softened.
"Gu..."
The little guy was full and made a sound unconsciously.
"Zhizhi, are you full?" After Xu Qingmeng put Zhizhi in the cradle, she picked up her brother beside her.
After both of them had eaten their fill, he called Nanny Jiang over to watch over them, then he opened the door and walked out.
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo had already woken up in the yard and were laughing and playing. Xu Qingmeng saw them and was glad that they were not kidnapped by kidnappers yesterday, otherwise she would not have been able to see the playful scene today.
When Yun Sheng saw Xu Qingmeng, he quickly came over and said, "Sister-in-law."
"Did you sleep well?"
"Um, sister-in-law, Sister Ting hasn't gotten up yet, do you want to go check on her?"
Xu Qingmeng nodded and asked, "Is Yun Sheng going with my sister-in-law?"
"Yes!" Yun Sheng agreed immediately.
Xinting in this family has no resistance to the two little ones. She often makes delicious food for them and is the kind of person who will never fail to satisfy their requests.
When Yun Mo heard this, he immediately ran after her, "Sister-in-law, I want to go too..."
Xu Xinting was old, so the drug she had been given was naturally stronger. She hadn't woken up yet, and Zhou Yuanjia stayed with her all night.
Fortunately, there were no sequelae after waking up, and it was no different from usual. Zhou Yuanjia's heart finally settled down, and the same went for Xu Qingmeng.
He had someone prepare breakfast. Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng had not returned all night. Not only Xu Qingmeng, but also Hui Niang was a little worried.
Xu Qingmeng and the others are back now, and they don’t know what the situation is outside, so they can only wait.
"Mr. Fang and Yun Yi are scholars. I don't know if they can help if they go. They haven't come back all night yet?" After finishing her meal, He stared at the door anxiously.
"This was supposed to be the opening of Zhuyunzhai, but now it's been delayed!"
Hui Niang also sighed: "How can there be such a cruel and crazy person in such a good day!"
Everyone in the Gu family was worried at home, and the situation outside was not peaceful either. This Lantern Festival had made people in the entire city panic.
The Li Mansion is located in the place with the highest housing prices in the city. This place is also where the dignitaries of the entire city live. The residence of Governor Kang is also nearby.
However, there is indeed no one from the Li family serving as an official in the provincial capital, but the old man of the Li family was once a first-rank official. It’s just that he is old now and retired to his hometown before returning to the provincial capital.
Mr. Li had only one son, who died two years ago, leaving behind only one grandson, Li Yunxu.
After the old man retired and returned to his hometown, he concentrated on teaching his grandson and didn't care about the affairs of the capital city at all. Everyone was also very tactful and didn't come to disturb the old man. Now, among the children who were arrested, there was Li Yunxu.
At this time, in the front hall of the Li family, Lord Kang was fidgeting and walking back and forth in the hall.
Gu Yunyi sat on a chair with his eyes half closed, his hand wrapped in a thick gauze, and he looked very tired. Fang Ziheng was not much better.
I don’t know how long it was before I heard the sound from outside.
Prefect Kang hurried over and said, "Doctor, doctor, what's going on? How are my wife and children?"
The doctor's face was covered in sweat, but he knew that the patient was anxious, so he didn't keep the patient in suspense.
Madam Ling managed to save her life, but in order to save Master Ling, she suffered many wounds, some of which almost hit her vital parts. She will probably have to stay in bed for a long time.
In view of Madam’s injuries, there must always be a doctor in the house and we must not be careless.
Your son was well protected by your wife, and only suffered minor injuries, but he was still frightened. I'm afraid that in the future...
After hearing what the doctor said, Governor Kang sat down on the chair and couldn't stop crying.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"
He was extremely regretful at this moment. If they had returned from the capital after the Lantern Festival, they would not have suffered this disaster!
