”Madam, I can't see the child, and I didn't hear anything!” Besides the assassins that wanted to kill her along the way, she couldn't find the slightest trace of a child.

”Continue searching!” In order to lure her in, she must have hidden it somewhere.

This road was the only convenient place in the outskirts of the city, outside of which were inns and villages. The main force of the assassins should be stationed here, so the children must also be in this place.

Bi Yue was already used to being a servant girl in a large courtyard house, so her days were always peaceful. Even if it wasn't peaceful, she only had a few quarrels with the little girls. She had never experienced all this before. Seeing the man in black about to slash with his broadsword, Xiao Yun was so shocked that his face paled.

Su Zhi was still relatively calm. Although she was worried, her movements were still fast and accurate.

”This is bad!”

As soon as the driver issued the warning, the carriage crashed into the rocks by the side of the road.

Receiving the violent impact, Bi Yue was taken out of the carriage. Su Zhi could not catch her and was brought out with her.

Shouts and exclamations, the clashing of blades and swords, and the urgent cries rang in his ears. again

There was a long period of unconsciousness after that. Su Zhi felt her entire body heat up. Someone helped her wipe her body clean over and over again, gently calling her name. But she was too sleepy to open her eyes.

After an unknown period of time, when she regained consciousness again, it was already dark.

A kerosene lamp had been lit inside the room, and the dim yellow light made half the room seem quiet and serene. She moved her numb arm and found that it was injured and bandaged.

”Ah Zhi, you're awake?”

The man's gentle voice sounded out. Su Zhi looked towards the bedside and saw a travel worn Xiao Qian sitting on the side with a small bean bag in his arms.

”They're all confused by the illness.” Shouldn't Xiao Qian still be searching for the traitor's whereabouts?

”I'm not confused, we're back.”

He placed the child on the bed and placed his hand on her forehead. ”The fever has subsided. One more day of rest will be enough.”

Xiao Qian's hand was very warm and was covered in a thin cocoon. Every time he touched her, it would give off a slightly coarse and numb feeling.

That's right, it was a very familiar feeling.

”You, really came back?”

”En, I'm back. I'm really sorry for making you and your child suffer.”

He leaned over and kissed her forehead, his warm lips moving away from her delicate face.

The child at the side opened his big watery eyes, clapped his small hands, and happily said, ”I want to kiss ~”

Only then did Su Zhi realize that the child was still at the side.

She pushed Xiao Qian away and held the innocent and childish child in her arms. A strong feeling of nostalgia arose in her heart.

”Sorry, Mom shouldn't have sent you out.”

She put her plump arms around her arms and held her silky long hair with her small hands as she smiled sweetly. The child was still young, so he would soon forget about his unhappiness. As long as he could return to his mother's side, he would be happy.

Tears of guilt fell from Su Zhi's eyes. Holding her in his arms, he instantly felt the joy of recovering what he had lost.

”How did you find the child?”

Xiao Qian embraced the two of them and said softly, ”That woman was given up by my husband the moment she left Xuan City. The small bean bag cried non-stop the entire way; they don't want to keep it and only let the two of them fend for themselves. When I found them, this woman almost had a baby with her. ”

Hearing this, Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She regretted returning the child because she was soft-hearted.

Madame Zhou had a weak character and could not even take care of a good child. If Xiao Qian had not arrived in time, who knew what would have happened to the child?

”This child calls me father. I have always been a domineering person. I don't like it when people try to take advantage of my child.”

Su Zhi took his hand and placed it on her face, rubbing it back and forth, ”It's good that you're back.”

Seeing her acting like a little girl, Xiao Qian was very satisfied. His woman wasn't that strong to begin with, she would have to live too arduously. With him around, it wouldn't be a bad idea to rely on her husband.

”Right, where's A Jin?”

”I'm punishing the face wall, I heard from Mother Ding that the bastard has roared at you.”

Su Zhi shook her head. ”It's my fault. I didn't handle this matter well. I can't blame all of them.” A Jin had always been a well-behaved girl, but she had a pure heart and was reluctant to part with her family.

”Call him in. I have something to say.”

Xiao Qian did as he was told and got up to find Ah Jin to send him back to his room.
