Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Anxious
Su Yunjin was at ho playing with Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua. In the middle of it, the two little ones fell asleep for a while, and Su Yunjin also took a nap. Gu Ya had promised her that he would accompany her to the lantern festival before nightfall.
Now the sky outside had darkened, and the families in the village had already started their fires to cook dinner. Aunt Bao and the others were already stir-frying and making soup, but when exactly would Gu Ya return?
Aunt Bao ca over to tell Su Yunjin, “Madam, while you were napping with the two young masters, more than a dozen strong n arrived around our house. They were all brought back from the town by the young master to protect you and the two little ones.” Aunt Bao was soone arranged by the Princess of Rui, and she had also heard about Su Yunjin being abducted today.
To think that soone would dare to abduct the mother of the future Crown Princess—it was as if they had the audacity of bears and leopards! Aunt Bao fiercely suggested, “Madam, for today’s matter, why not go to the Prince Qi Residence in town and seek out the old princess consort? The old princess consort personally raised the Prince of Rui and has a close bond with the Princess of Rui. If she hears about today’s incident, she surely won’t sit idly by.”
“Aunt Bao, I’ve already entrusted this matter to my husband to resolve. The old princess consort is elderly and needs to rest; I’d better not disturb her.” Su Yunjin had never intended to go to the Prince Qi Residence to ask the old princess consort for help. Although the old princess consort treated her with a certain degree of politeness, Su Yunjin was clear about her place.
Even if the old princess consort had been kind to her, Su Yunjin could not trouble her over every minor matter. Besides, with the old princess consort’s distinguished status—soone whom even the emperor had to show respect to—how could she dare to intrude at every turn? Aunt Bao seed to have realized sothing as well. After Su Yunjin finished speaking, Aunt Bao said no more.
Little Yuanbao and Little Tiangua seed to be hungry. Little Yuanbao, who was being held in Su Yunjin’s arms, kept tugging at her clothes and burrowed his head restlessly into her chest.
On a normal day, Su Yunjin would have already unfastened her clothes to feed the children. However, today, she chose not to and instead handed both children over to the wet nurse to feed them. Earlier today, Su Yunjin had been pushed into the icy water by that lunatic Leng Jingxian. She had been in the freezing water for quite a while before finally getting ashore. It was now the ti of year when the snow and ice in the river had just lted, and the river water was bone-chillingly cold.
Although Su Yunjin did not feel any physical discomfort at the mont, there was no guarantee that everything was fine. If she had caught a chill after being in the water and then breastfed the two children, it might make them unwell as well. For the sake of the two little ones, Su Yunjin decided she wouldn’t nurse them herself for the next few days.
Su Yunjin had knowledge of dicine and knew what to take. Tonight, when she went to the lantern festival with Gu Ya, she could stop by the town and pick up so herbal redies to eat.
The night grew darker and darker, and there was still no sign of Gu Ya returning. At first, Su Yunjin had remained calm, but gradually, she beca restless.
It was so late.
Why hadn’t Gu Ya co back yet?
Could he have run into danger?
Or had sothing detained him?
Su Yunjin’s heart was in turmoil.
She worried about Gu Ya while also growing anxious about heading to the lantern festival.
Aunt Bao saw Su Yunjin pacing back and forth in the room and handed her a cup of water. “Madam, why don’t you sit down and take a rest? If you ask , the young master should be back soon.”
Su Yunjin took the cup from Aunt Bao’s hands but did not drink it.
“Aunt Bao, could you go out and check again to see if my husband has returned?”
