While the Sorcerer King and Zhou Jin were treating the three of them, Pingâer brought a bowl of porridge to Yu Wanâs room.
Yu Wan was still awake. She sat quietly by the window and waited for news. She did not cry and make a fuss about the husband she had lost. In fact, her reaction was very calm.
âYoung Madam.â Pingâer placed the steaming porridge on the table. âItâs porridge made by Grandpa Bao.â
âGrandpa Bao isnât asleep yet?â Yu Wan took the porridge. She wasnât hungry, but she needed to eat.
Pingâer was worried that she wouldnât eat, but her heart ached when she saw her eat spoonful by spoonful. âGrandpa Bao is worried about you and Young Master Yan.â
Yu Wan took another bite of porridge and wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. âThereâs nothing to worry about. Yan Jiuchao promised me that he wonât leave me easily. I believe him.â
Pingâer did not know how to reply.
Even a maidservant like her understood the severity of the situation after such a big thing happened. However, Young Madam refused to accept the truth. It was not strange when she thought about it. Young Madam and Young Master had a good relationship. They had children and were about to give birth to a new child. At this critical juncture, Young Master was gone. If it were anyone else, they would probably deceive themselves.
âIs Sister Nie alright?â Yu Wan asked.
Pinger shook her head. âMiss Nie is fine. Third Elder came over. Heâs guarding
Miss Nie in the room and asked me to come and serve Young Madam.â
Yu Wan said, âGo tell Grandpa Bao to rest quickly. Heâs old. Donât let him suffer with us.â
Pinger said, âYoung Madam, Grandpa Bao also asked me to persuade you. Youâre pregnant, not like them. You donât have to wait hereâ¦â
Yu Wan nodded. âYouâre right. I really shouldnât have waited.â
âThatâs right! Then hurry upâ¦â Before Pingâer could finish speaking, she saw Yu Wan put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, stand up, and walk out of the room.
Pingâer was stunned. âYoung Madam! Where are you going?
Yu Wan smiled and said, âIâll go look for Yan Jiuchao.â
âButâ¦â Pingâer chased after her and wanted to stop her, but Yu Wan had already walked out ot tne courtyard.
âLet her go,â Chef Bao said.
âGrandpa Bao.â Pingâer turned around and bowed to Chef Bao, who was not far away. âItâs so late. Is Young Madam in danger?â
Chef Bao said, âThere are Third Elderâs people everywhere here. Sheâs not in danger. Sheâs worried about Jiuchao. Instead of forcing her to stay here, itâs better to let her find him.â
âGrandpa Bao, go and rest. Young Madam is very worried about you.â
Chef Bao smiled and said, âIâm old and donât sleep much. Go and rest. Youâll be busy when they come back.â
âIâll go take care of the little masters,â Pingâer said.
âNo need. Iâll look after them,â Chef Bao said. Pingâer paused. âThen⦠Iâll go back to my room first.â
âGo.â Chef Bao waved his hand.
After Pingâer left, Chef Bao entered the room and came to the three little eggsâ bed. The three little eggs were sleeping soundly, but their sleeping posture was not good. Of course, Erâbaoâs sleeping posture was good, but Xiaobao and Dabao wished they could roll to the end of the bed and hit the wall.
Chef Bao looked at the three cute little fellows and smiled dotingly.
No one understood the pain of losing a family member better than him. He had searched for more than thirty years and it had hurt for more than thirty years. Now, he could still talk and laugh. It was not that he was numb, but he had learned to accept this pain. However, he did not want Wan to be like this.
He hoped that Wan could find Yan Jiuchao, even though the chances of her finding him were not high.
So what? No matter where you are, I wonât give up looking for you, he thought. Thatâs probably what heâs living for.
Chef Bao sat down at the head of the bed and leaned against the bedpost. He coughed softly and closed his eyes tiredly.
On the other hand, Yu Wan asked for directions and came to the place where Shadow Thirteen and the others were searching. If she hadnât personally made a trip, Yu Wan probably wouldnât have known that Yan Jiuchao had brought the Saint King so far in just a few breaths.
This was a forest. Three sides were surrounded by mountains, and one side was a deep pool. It happened when theyâre halfway up the mountain, and one could see half of the destroyed mountainside with the naked eye. As for where Yan Jiuchao had gone, everyone was searching vigorously.
âYoung Madam, why are you here?â Shadow Six was the first to see Yu Wan. He ran towards her with a torch.
Yu Wan said, âI came to see how your search is going.â
Shadow Six pointed at the destroyed hill and said to Yu Wan, âThe Saint King should have died with Young Master there. I hope Young Master dodged in time..â
