anwhile, the little boy Jin Wang ntioned, Xiaobao, was already awake.
He found himself lying in the arms of a woman with a huge chest. From the bumpy ride, they seed to be inside a carriage
Seeing him wake up, the woman lifted her clothes to feed him.
Xiaobao’s face was full of disgust. Why did these people always want to breastfeed him as soon as they saw him? Did he look like he wanted to be breastfed?
If Yaoniang were the one to feed him, he would be embarrassed but calm. If it was anyone else, including Nanny He, he’d be utterly disgusted.
Xiaobao knew that Nanny He was a good person and that she treated him very well, but this woman was way too stubborn. She always tries to feed him instead of letting him eat on his own with a spoon.
These won seed to believe all babies, such as Xiaobao, must be fed breast milk.
Seeing that Xiaobao refused to eat, the woman held him in her arms and gave him a rattle to play with.
It was obvious that the other party was prepared. The little table at the side was covered with toys that infants enjoyed. The toys seed to be for pacifying the child, so he wouldn’t cry while they’re on the road. From what he could tell, that girl Dong’er must’ve been bribed by soone but he had no idea who.
While Xiaobao was deep in his thoughts, the carriage stopped. Holding him, the woman and a person who seed to be her husband, walked into an inn.
Xiaobao didn’t try to yell or cry. As a baby who couldn’t speak or walk, even if he scread himself hoarse, others would only think he was making trouble. So he was very obedient. Although he was very irritated, he still pretended to be innocent and played with the rattle in his hand.
“This child is so heartless!” said the woman after entering the room.
Your mother is the heartless one! You dare to look down on this baby?! scolded Xiaobao inwardly. He couldn’t help but think, Mother was probably anxious to death by now.
At the sa ti, a wave of worries rose in his heart. After all this, Xiaobao realized that the person who stole him was most likely not seeking vengeance or using him to deal with his mother. The perpetrator had another purpose.
But what were their intentions?
His mother was only a little concubine. Although she was favoured, it had nothing to do with him. His father hated him so much that he probably wishes for him to be dead. Then he’d no longer be a thorn in the flesh.
Although this way of thinking made Xiaobao very frustrated, it was all facts. He simply wasn’t Father Emperor’s son
“For Master to make such an effort to steal a baby, what does he want to do?” asked the woman curiously.
“Don’t ask anything you shouldn’t ask!”
The woman shut up imdiately.
Despite searching for Xiaobao in the entire manor, he wasn’t found. Yaoniang felt that the sky had fallen.
As soon as she ca out of the consort’s yard, her legs weakened.
Yuchan held her from the side, and comforted, “Madam, don’t worry. Eunuch Fu had already ordered people to search outside. People are watching the city gates and this is Jincheng, the fief of His Highness. Even if they grew wings, they wouldn’t be able to fly out.”
“Really?”
Yuchan nodded.
Yaoniang felt her mood lift, which ca from her confidence in Jin Wang, but her heart still couldn’t help being anxious.
Yaoniang couldn’t sleep the entire night. Only when the sky was beginning to brighten did she finally fall into a fitful sleep.
Within half an hour, she woke up.
Zhaohui Hall kept passing down ssages. Seeing that they were continuing to search and that they were putting in their efforts, Yaoniang could finally feel a bit relieved.
What she feared most at this point was that soone hated her too much and kidnapped her child to vent their hatred. The child being stolen wasn’t her greatest worry but the child being killed.
Whenever she thought of this possibility, Yaoniang wouldn’t be able to rest in peace and her heart would race.
She didn’t eat anything for breakfast. Everything was taken down in its original state.
Seeing Yaoniang sitting by the window, looking out like a statue, Yuchan was also worried. But she didn’t know how to comfort her, so she could only remain silent.
Ah Xia arrived.
Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot. At first glance, it was clear that she cried the entire night.
That was indeed the case. After knowing that Xiaobao was lost because of her negligence, Ah Xia cried her heart out more than once.
When Yaoniang saw her, she glanced at her and didn’t speak.
After all, it wasn’t like there were no complaints in her heart. Whenever she felt despair, she couldn’t help but think about those ‘what ifs’ and ‘if onlys’. If only Ah Xia didn’t go to take that embroidery design. What if Ah Xia was more alert? Maybe then Xiaobao wouldn’t be lost.
But who would have thought that Dong’er was so scheming? After the child went missing in such a huge residence, they couldn’t even find out how he went missing.
“Madam, I’m sorry…”
Yaoniang really didn’t want to comfort Ah Xia.? But looking at her pitiful appearance, she couldn’t help rembering how well she treated Xiaobao. Sighing, she said, “Don’t bla yourself too much. No one was willing for sothing like this to happen.”
This comfort wasn’t enough and Ah Xia continued to weep.
Yaoniang didn’t want to talk anymore. Deep in her own thoughts, sothing was suddenly stuffed into her hand.
Shocked, she looked at Ah Xia and ordered, “Hong Chou, help make a cup of tea.”
Once Hong Chou left, she looked at the thing in her hand. It was a folded piece of paper.
