Chapter 520: Saving Zao’er
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Aibao was originally accompanying Liu Shi in Nanhe Town and taking care of her.
Seeing Liu Shi’s reaction during her pregnancy, she unexpectedly thought of her child, the young master, Zao’er, who had been left behind in Yongfu Village.
Seeing that she missed her too much, Liu Shi asked the people in town who were going out to help find out if there was any news of that family.
However, when they returned, they said that something big had happened to Yongfu Village!
Not only was the entire village attacked by bandits, but even their county magistrate died in the line of duty. Many people lost their lives.
The place where Zao’er was at was even more disastrous. Because of the confrontation with the bandits, the entire residence was destroyed.
Fortunately, Zao’er looked obedient and smart. He had been kidnapped by the bandits, but his whereabouts were unknown.
After hearing this news, Wang Aibao felt the world spin. The child she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy was missing, his fate unknown. How could her heart not ache?
However, when she wanted to ask for help, she realized that her mother, whom she could rely on, had already gone to the prefecture capital. The Qin Family, who was willing to help them, only left a guard behind. The others had already left Nanhe Town at some point.
Wang Aibao thought of Qin Huai, whom her family often mentioned. Even his mother was secretive about him. This meant that the Qin family was at least much stronger than their Wang family.
They were definitely better at searching for people.
She could not wait to send the news to the prefecture capital. When the doctor said that Liu Shi’s pregnancy was very stable, they went straight to the prefecture capital.
After Wang Aibao returned to the Wang Family, she had always kept a low profile and never stood up to speak or do anything.
She had been back for so long, but she did not feel much sense of belonging.
She originally thought that as a child who had lost her parents and regained them, she would definitely be doted upon greatly.
But actually, that wasn’t the case. She was just like the other siblings and received an equal share of everything.
She had already grown up and would not be jealous or feel indignant.
Because her Big Brothers treated her very well, her sisters-in-law understood her, and her nephews respected her even more.
The youngest, Ah Yu, also showed concern for her from time to time.
Wang Aibao thought that she was happy, but she was not. She had always missed Zao’er and even thought countless times that it might be better if she’d not been found by her real family.
Even if she was just a nanny who could be bullied by others, she was satisfied as long as she could be by her child’s side.
But now, when she found out that her child was in trouble, she could not do anything.
She felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart.
“Zao’er is my child and also your younger cousin. He’s very cute and obedient. Didn’t you still see him during the Spring Festival back then?” Wang Aibao stood up with Little Ah Yu’s strength and suppressed her cries. “Ah Yu, Little Aunt knows that you’re a kind child. Now that he’s been captured, only you can save him!”
Little All Yu was puzzled. “Little Aunt, can’t Grandma help you? Grandma is very powerful. Nothing can stump her.”
She was only a child. She was only four years old.
Could it be that Little Aunt wanted to swap her with that cousin Zao’er?
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Aibao’s mouth. “Your Grandma…”
How should she put it?
As soon as she arrived at the prefecture capital, she could not wait to look for her mother. However, her mother said that Zao’er was a good child and would be fine.
She even said that even if something happened, it was just his fate.
Mother didn’t care. Mother actually didn’t care!
She had no way of asking for help and wanted to go herself, but her mother asked the servants to guard the door and not let her go out.
Wang Aibao cried all night. Late at night, she saw a small lantern hanging at the door. It was given to her by Little Ah Yu during the day. She thought of Little All Yu.
Mother could not help her, but Ah Yu could.
Ah Yu’s little husband could definitely do it.
“All Yu, Little Aunt really has no other choice. Aren’t you engaged to the Qin Family’s Young Master? Their family is powerful, so they must have a lot of connections. Let them send someone to save Zao’er! If they can save Zao’er, I’ll let him take care of you all your life. I’ll also be your slave!” Wang Aibao whimpered.
“Ridiculous!”
In the middle of the night, an angry shout sounded.
Wang Aibao’s body trembled. She thought that Old Madam Wang had come, but she did not expect it to be Liu Shi, who was holding her waist.
Liu Shi was so angry that her entire body was trembling. “Little Aunt, I always thought that you were a sensible person. I didn’t expect you to be so ridiculous.”
“Didn’t we agree on the way that when Chuanman returns, we’ll ask him to invite the people from the escort agency to look for him?” Liu Shi said. “We even specially took a detour to the county city and asked County Magistrate Zhang for help. County Magistrate Zhang even agreed to send constables across the county. Didn’t you say that you believed in County Magistrate Zhang? What are you doing now?”
“Your Zao’er is a child, but isn’t my Ah Yu a child too!”
If not for the little lamb scratching her door in the middle of the night, she would not have known that Little Aunt would do such a thing in the middle of the night.
It was simply unreasonable!
