Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
King Nanyang was too sinister and cunning. Wei Ting asked Yuchi Xiu and Fu Su to stay behind because he was worried that he would attack the Wei family again.
Although this wave of assassins had been subdued, Madam Li and Wei Xiyue were outside. Who knew if they would encounter any danger?
“Baili Chen, Fu Su, Third Sister-in-law, go to the Li family immediately.” “Matriarch, ” Baili Chen said.
Old Madam Wei waved her hand. “I understand what you mean, but there’s really no need to guard my place.”
Madam Jiang hurriedly said, “Xiaohu and the others are also outside!”
Old Madam Wei said, “They went to Young Master Ling Yun. They’ll be fine.”
Wei Ting did not hide from his family that Ling Yun was Nalan Yun. If he was just the number one zither player in the world, there was nothing to be afraid of. However, Wei Ting said that that kid had powerful abilities. Wei Chen tried to assassinate him several times but failed.
If he could fight Wei Chen to a draw, what was there to worry about?
“It’s settled then. Go do your work.” Matriarch Wei made the final decision.
“Can we kill him?” Yuchi Xiu said restlessly.
As the second-ranked assassin on the Assassin Ranking, he could finally start a massacre today after being suppressed for so long!
Matriarch Wei poured a basin of cold water on him. “No, leave him alive. We’ll interrogate him when Little Seven comes back.”
The little person in Yuchi Xiu’s heart knelt on the ground and roared, “Ugh!”
Madam Li had just led Wei Xiyue out of her maiden home.
Nanny Fang sent the two of them off.
Madam Li let Wei Xiyue get into the carriage and turned to Madam Fang. “Nanny, you don’t have to send me off. Go back and take care of my mother.”
Madam Li was the youngest daughter of the Li family. Her parents had a daughter at an old age. Even though she was only in her twenties, the two elders were already in their sixties.
Madam Fang’s eyes were a little red. She waved at her, indicating for her to quickly get into the carriage. “Go back.”
Matriarch Li was not sick, but she was old. Even the doctor was helpless. She understood the logic, but she was still a little reluctant.
Madam Li held back her sobs and got into the carriage.
Wei Xiyue was carrying two jars in her arms. She was confused and did not cry or show much sadness.
Madam Li couldn’t help but sigh. “Grandmother is so sick. Why aren’t you sad at all?”
Wei Xiyue looked at her blankly.
“Forget it.” Madam Li sighed. Her daughter was born different.
Back then, when the Wei family held the funeral, her family was about to faint from crying. She was still small and stood in front of the coffin in mourning. She was in a daze and did not shed a tear.
Other children who were as young as her would not know what had happened. However, when they saw the adults at home cry, those children would cry with them.
Madam Li looked at the jars in her arms. “Why are you still holding them? Put them down? You’re either carrying Xiaohu or the jars. Are you not comfortable without something in your arms?”
Wei Xiyue did not let go.
Madam Li snatched it away, and Wei Xiyue shouted.
Madam Li couldn’t do anything to her and ignored her.
The carriage swayed. Madam Li had been guarding her mother by the bed all night and could not help but feel a little sleepy.
In her daze, she felt the carriage suddenly stop. Her body swayed violently as she pressed her aching temples and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The coachman said, “The wheels seem to be broken. Madam, wait a moment. I’ll repair them.”
Although it was autumn, it was still hot in the capital.
Madam Li sat in the carriage for a while and felt very stuffy. She asked Wei Xiyue, “Are you hot?”
Wei Xiyue shook her head.
Madam Li wiped her forehead and back. “You’re covered in sweat. Aren’t you hot? Don’t you even know if you’re cold or hot?”
She was angry and anxious as she brought Wei Xiyue out of the carriage. This street was one of the most prosperous streets in the capital. People came and went.
Madam Li found a shady roof to stay under.
A vendor pushed the stall towards the two of them quietly. “Sister Xiyue! Second Aunt!”
Accompanied by a crisp voice, three children ran over.
The vendor paused in the act of pushing the cart.
Dahu shouted as he ran and was the first to arrive in front of the two of them.
When Madam Li saw the little fellows, a smile immediately appeared on her tired face.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off the three of them. “Why are you here?”
Dahu said, “Master is bringing us around the streets!”
Erhu spread his hands. “Because Xiaohu is too noisy!”
Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips. “I wasn’t!”
Ling Yun walked along the long street unhurriedly with an oil-paper umbrella. He was as beautiful as a painting and as quiet as an immortal.
Madam Li nodded at him in greeting, and Ling Yun nodded back.
Wei Xiyue peeled pine nuts from the small jar and fed them to the three little ones. Then, she handed the jar to Madam Li and carried Xiaohu into her arms.
Xiaohu was already used to it. He obediently leaned back in Sister Xi Yue’s arms and flapped his small arms.
At this moment, the vendor with the cart came to their side. Madam Li was hot and sleepy and was a little confused. For a moment, she did not pay attention to a vendor.
When she yawned and was about to ask Wei Xiyue to stand inside, the vendor suddenly threw away the cart in his hand and snatched Wei Xiyue and Xiaohu over.
Everything happened in a flash. Madam Li stretched out her hand to grab the children, but the person had already tapped his toes and flew up the roof.
Madam Li wanted to chase after them, but Dahu and Erhu were still here. She was afraid that if she left, she would fall into a trap and cause the remaining two to be captured.
“Go after him!”
Ling Yun instructed the secret guard beside him.
The secret guard used his qinggong to chase after that person, but the other party’s qinggong was not weak either. He used all his strength and could only grab one of Xiaohu’s arms.
The other party did not care if the child would be torn apart and kicked towards Ling Yun’s secret guard.
Wei Xiyue decisively let go.
The secret guard was kicked in the shoulder and fell from the sky with Xiaohu in his arms. When he approached the ground, he flipped and stabilized himself.
“Sister Xi Yue!” Xiaohu turned his head and shouted.
Madam Li hurriedly said to Ling Yun, who had quickly arrived, ‘Young Master Ling Yun, I’ll leave Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu to you. I’ll go after Xiyue!”
“I’ll go.”
A familiar voice sounded above Madam Li’s head. Madam Li looked up. “Brother?”
Who would have thought that he would encounter the human traffickers? However, that person’s skills were definitely not ordinary.
“Go back and wait for news! ”
With that, he disappeared from the eaves.
The vendor brought Wei Xiyue into a very luxurious carriage. No one would have expected the escapee to sit on such a high-profile travel tool.
When the coachman saw him carrying the child over, he couldn’t help but feel a little strange. He looked behind him and asked, “Who is this? Where’s the hostage I asked you to take?”
The vendor handed Wei Xiyue to him. “She’s a hostage.”
The coachman frowned and said, “Didn’t I ask you to catch a woman!”
The vendor said righteously, “She’s a woman!”
The coachman was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “Woman! Not a girl!”
The vendor choked. “Then… you didn’t explain it clearly!”
It was impossible to send her back. If she was caught and thrown away… It would be a pity. After all, this little girl was also a member of the Wei family.
The coachman said, “Master hates children the most because children are very noisy! ”
“She’s not noisy!” The vendor raised Wei Xiyue with both hands. “It’s true. She hasn’t cried since I caught her. I suspect that she’s a little mute! Perhaps… she’s a silly little mute.”
The coachman sized Wei Xiyue up. Wei Xiyue also looked straight at him, her eyes were clear and she was a little adorable. She did not seem not afraid at all.
If this person was not bolder than the heavens, she must be stupid. The coachman did not think that a silly little girl would be the former..
