Chapter 365: Bringing Her Back
Chapter 365: Bringing Her Back
Xiao Zhen cried so hard that she was gasping for breath, as if she wanted to cry out all the fear she had experienced before. The old lady got up and walked over, giving Yuan Shanchuan two heavy slaps on the back. "You damn brat, you finally decided to come back! Do you know what happened to Sixiang? She..." As she spoke, the old lady's eyes turned red, and she took a deep breath. "It's good that you're back. We all believe that you didn't commit those crimes. You wouldn't do such things." Yuan Shanchuan nodded repeatedly and patted Little Zhen's shoulder. Standing up, he said, "Mother-in-law, rest assured, I would never betray my own conscience." "You better be aware of that." "I've heard everything that happened with Sixiang from Da Niu. These past few days, you and brothers have been worrying about the family affairs, and Little Zhen and Quanquan have been taken care of by you. Otherwise, even if I came back, our family would be in shambles." Xiao Zhen wiped her tears and whispered, "Father, that day, Quanquan kept crying and had severe vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night. He almost had an accident. If Sister Yu hadn't called the doctor, Quanquan might have... might have..." Yuan Shanchuan was shocked. Even Da Niu didn't know about this incident, so he naturally had no idea. He knew that infants of such a young age were the most vulnerable and that their lives could easily be in danger with a slight mishap. Now it seemed that he truly owed a tremendous debt of gratitude to his sister-in-law's family. Yuan Shanchuan turned around and was about to express his gratitude to everyone present. However, Shu Yu interrupted, "Wait here for a moment. I'll remove my disguise and then go to the county yamen to fetch Fourth Aunt." The old lady exclaimed in joy, "Is Sixiang alright?" Shu Yu had already entered the room, and Yuan Shanchuan replied, "I'll explain everything clearly to the officials at the county yamen. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be fine." The old lady chanted 'Amitabha' and happily said, "Then I'll go with you." Xiao Zhen heard this and wiped her face, saying softly, "I want to go too, I want to go." Da Niu quickly interjected, "Grandmother, it's not appropriate for so many people to go. Besides, Fourth Aunt's situation involves some hidden details. The whole process is quite complicated, so we shouldn't make a big fuss. If everything goes well, we'll bring Fourth Aunt back, and you can wait for us at home." The old lady hesitated for a moment and quickly nodded, "Alright, as long as you can bring her back safely, we can do anything." Only then did Da Niu say, "Then I'll go change clothes with Fourth Uncle." Yuan Shanchuan's clothes didn't fit well, but Lu Erbai's size was similar to his, so Ruan Shi brought out a set of his clothes. Da Niu changed back into his original outfit. After a while, Shu Yu also came out. The three of them looked refreshed. Yuan Shanchuan glanced at his son and didn't delay any longer. He quickly packed the painting and walked out of the door. The old lady held Little Zhen's hand and watched them leave. She kept looking until their figures disappeared before turning around happily and saying to Ruan Shi, "Sixing will definitely come back safely. Let's prepare some mugwort and fumigate her to ward off bad luck when she returns. Oh, and the brazier too." As she spoke, she immediately started bustling around. Ruan Shi placed Quanquan, who was in her arms, on the bed and asked San Ya and Xiao Zhen to watch over him. She also enthusiastically prepared hot water and food. They all believed that nothing unexpected would happen, and Lu Sixing would definitely come back.
