C238 (1/2)

Xiaowan woke up from her dream. Her daughter was gone, she had gone downstairs to look for her, Third Lady was also gone, her family was suddenly in a mess.

Little Pei flew out and searched for traces of his little sister in the air. As expected, he saw Third Lady holding onto the baby, and was running towards the Baisha River Pier.

But Little Pei could not use his power to stop her, he could not even remind his mother to head towards the Baisha River to look for him, but it was such a coincidence that the whole family decided to split into two, the Aunt Zhang would head towards the town, and the Uncle Biao would lead the Xiaowan to the pier.

”Little Pei, can you watch over little brother at home? Can you do it by yourself?” Xiaowan was extremely worried, but there were really not many people left.

Little Pei earnestly replied, ”Mother, I'm looking at little brother. ”Quickly get your sister back.”

Xiaowan only had one outer garment on, and sat on the horse carriage with her hair in a mess. Xiaowan also looked around nervously, afraid that she would see them coming and hide in the mountains.

But now, with Little Fei in her arms, Third Lady was boarding a boat at the edge of the dock. With the wind and water being so anxious, the people on the dock said that the next boat would be to the south, so she thought that no matter where she was going, she would first find a strange place to stay. As long as she worked hard and did a few more jobs, she would definitely be able to provide for the children.

But the boat had not arrived, so the child was hungry. Third Lady carried Little Fei to a place where they could hide from the wind and untied her clothes to feed her.

But just as she finished feeding, when she tied up her clothes, she heard the people on the pier behind her shouting, ”Uncle Biao, you're here. Da Qing is at home cutting rice today, he's not here.”

Third Lady's heart tensed up. She hugged the child and wanted to hide, but Xiaowan jumped off the carriage and saw her daughter's bright red cradle. She shouted, ”Third Lady …”

Seeing that they were going to snatch the child back, Third Lady ran towards the river with the child in her arms. Xiaowan and Uncle Biao immediately chased after them.

Third Lady was forced into a dead end. She jumped down from the Baisha River and stood on top of the huge rock by the river.

Xiaowan immediately stopped and did not dare to move forward. The people on the wharf surrounded them and spoke at the same time, no wonder this little woman was so secretive, daring to steal Ling Xiao Inn's child.

”Third Lady, give the child back to me, I beg you.” Xiaowan begged, ”No matter what you want to do, I'll promise you anything. I'll let you be Little Fei's wet nurse, okay?

The Third Lady shook her head and cried, ”You all despised me, I heard everything. You all despised me … ”If you weren't sick, you wouldn't have let me touch your child. I know …”

”I'm sorry, it was my fault.” Xiaowan looked at the rushing river, and thought that Little Fei might drown in it, her heart felt as though a knife was being twisted, and she continued to beg, ”No matter what, do not hurt my child, I beg of you. Third Lady, you love Little Fei that much, you won't hurt her right? ”

As Xiaowan spoke, she also attempted to jump down, but Third Lady took a step back. Her skirt had already been drenched by the water and she could fall into the river at any moment.

”If you come over again, I'll jump down. Don't come over.” Third Lady shouted, ”You have three children, and you have so many children. Can you give me one?

”Alright, as long as you don't jump into the river, you come up first. We can talk about anything.” The Xiaowan comforted her and took the initiative to retreat, ”Look, we got out of the way. You should come up first.”

At this time, a boat slowly entered Baisha River. It was the ship that was about to head south, and after unloading a batch of goods there, it would immediately leave.

”The ship is here...” Little Fei, let's go to the south. ”

However, in order to prevent the Xiaowan and the others from stealing the child, she took off her hairpin and threatened them, ”Don't come near me. If anyone dares to stop me, I will stab the child to death.”

She brought Little Fei and walked towards the dock. No one dared to act rashly, and also surrounded the boat that was slowly walking towards the dock. The people on the boat had already unloaded the goods and were about to set sail again.

Seeing that Third Lady was about to bring the child onto the boat, she ran up to her and kneeled down behind her. She begged while crying: ”Let me see the child again, I beg you, Third Lady, let me see the child again.”

Third Lady was startled, Little Fei also seemed to have realised something, and started to twist and cry unsteadily. Third Lady could not be coaxed, and seeing Xiaowan kneeling on the ground, walking towards her, her heart softened, and said: ”Then just one look, only one look is allowed.”

Xiaowan immediately stood up and ran over. She tremblingly brought the child in front of her, but she steeled her heart and grabbed the swaddled child.
