Meanwhile, the little boy Jin Wang mentioned, Xiaobao, was already awake.
He found himself lying in the arms of a woman with a huge chest. From the bumpy ride, they seemed to be inside a carriage
Seeing him wake up, the woman lifted her clothes to feed him.
Xiaobaoâs face was full of disgust. Why did these people always want to breastfeed him as soon as they saw him? Did he look like he wanted to be breastfed?
If Yaoniang were the one to feed him, he would be embarrassed but calm. If it was anyone else, including Nanny He, heâd be utterly disgusted.
Xiaobao knew that Nanny He was a good person and that she treated him very well, but this woman was way too stubborn. She always tries to feed him instead of letting him eat on his own with a spoon.
These women seemed to believe all babies, such as Xiaobao, must be fed breast milk.
Seeing that Xiaobao refused to eat, the woman held him in her arms and gave him a rattle to play with.
It was obvious that the other party was prepared. The little table at the side was covered with toys that infants enjoyed. The toys seemed to be for pacifying the child, so he wouldnât cry while theyâre on the road. From what he could tell, that girl Dongâer mustâve been bribed by someone but he had no idea who.
While Xiaobao was deep in his thoughts, the carriage stopped. Holding him, the woman and a person who seemed to be her husband, walked into an inn.
Xiaobao didnât try to yell or cry. As a baby who couldnât speak or walk, even if he screamed himself hoarse, others would only think he was making trouble. So he was very obedient. Although he was very irritated, he still pretended to be innocent and played with the rattle in his hand.
âThis child is so heartless!â said the woman after entering the room.
Your mother is the heartless one! You dare to look down on this baby?! scolded Xiaobao inwardly. He couldnât help but think, Mother was probably anxious to death by now.
At the same time, a wave of worries rose in his heart. After all this, Xiaobao realized that the person who stole him was most likely not seeking vengeance or using him to deal with his mother. The perpetrator had another purpose.
But what were their intentions?
His mother was only a little concubine. Although she was favoured, it had nothing to do with him. His father hated him so much that he probably wishes for him to be dead. Then heâd no longer be a thorn in the flesh.
Although this way of thinking made Xiaobao very frustrated, it was all facts. He simply wasnât Father Emperorâs son
âFor Master to make such an effort to steal a baby, what does he want to do?â asked the woman curiously.
âDonât ask anything you shouldnât ask!â
The woman shut up immediately.
Despite searching for Xiaobao in the entire manor, he wasnât found. Yaoniang felt that the sky had fallen.
As soon as she came out of the consortâs yard, her legs weakened.
Yuchan held her from the side, and comforted, âMadam, donât worry. Eunuch Fu had already ordered people to search outside. People are watching the city gates and this is Jincheng, the fief of His Highness. Even if they grew wings, they wouldnât be able to fly out.â
âReally?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yuchan nodded.
Yaoniang felt her mood lift, which came from her confidence in Jin Wang, but her heart still couldnât help being anxious.
Yaoniang couldnât sleep the entire night. Only when the sky was beginning to brighten did she finally fall into a fitful sleep.
Within half an hour, she woke up.
Zhaohui Hall kept passing down messages. Seeing that they were continuing to search and that they were putting in their efforts, Yaoniang could finally feel a bit relieved.
What she feared most at this point was that someone hated her too much and kidnapped her child to vent their hatred. The child being stolen wasnât her greatest worry but the child being killed.
Whenever she thought of this possibility, Yaoniang wouldnât be able to rest in peace and her heart would race.
She didnât eat anything for breakfast. Everything was taken down in its original state.
Seeing Yaoniang sitting by the window, looking out like a statue, Yuchan was also worried. But she didnât know how to comfort her, so she could only remain silent.
Ah Xia arrived.
Her eyes were swollen and bloodshot. At first glance, it was clear that she cried the entire night.
That was indeed the case. After knowing that Xiaobao was lost because of her negligence, Ah Xia cried her heart out more than once.
When Yaoniang saw her, she glanced at her and didnât speak.
After all, it wasnât like there were no complaints in her heart. Whenever she felt despair, she couldnât help but think about those âwhat ifsâ and âif onlysâ. If only Ah Xia didnât go to take that embroidery design. What if Ah Xia was more alert? Maybe then Xiaobao wouldnât be lost.
But who would have thought that Dongâer was so scheming? After the child went missing in such a huge residence, they couldnât even find out how he went missing.
âMadam, Iâm sorryâ¦â
Yaoniang really didnât want to comfort Ah Xia.? But looking at her pitiful appearance, she couldnât help remembering how well she treated Xiaobao. Sighing, she said, âDonât blame yourself too much. No one was willing for something like this to happen.â
This comfort wasnât enough and Ah Xia continued to weep.
Yaoniang didnât want to talk anymore. Deep in her own thoughts, something was suddenly stuffed into her hand.
Shocked, she looked at Ah Xia and ordered, âHong Chou, help me make a cup of tea.â
Once Hong Chou left, she looked at the thing in her hand. It was a folded piece of paper.
