The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 517 Saving Zao'er

Wang Aibao was originally in Nanhe Town accompanying Liu Shi and taking care of her in every detail.

Seeing Liu's pregnancy symptoms, she couldn't help but think of her own child, the young master Zao'er who had been left in Yongfu Village.

Seeing how much she missed him, Liu asked someone in town who was going out to inquire if there was any news from the other side.

But those who returned said that something terrible had happened to Yongfu Village!
Not only was the entire village attacked by bandits, but their county magistrate also died in the line of duty, and many people lost their lives.

The area where Zao'er lived was a disaster-stricken area; her entire family was wiped out because of their fight against bandits.

Fortunately, Zao'er was clever and adorable, and was kidnapped by bandits, but her whereabouts are unknown.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Aibao felt dizzy. The life or death of her child, whom she had carried for ten months, was unknown. How could she not be heartbroken?
But when she wanted to ask for help, she found that the old lady Wang, whom she could rely on, had gone to the prefectural city, and the Qin family, who were willing to help them, had only left behind a gatekeeper; the others had left Nanhe Town at some point.

Wang Aibao thought of Qin Huai, whom her family often mentioned. Even her mother was reluctant to talk about him, which meant that the Qin family was at least much better off than their Wang family.

They are certainly better at finding people.

They couldn't wait to send a message to the prefectural city. As soon as the doctor said that Liu's pregnancy was very stable, they went directly to the prefectural city.

After returning to the Wang family, Wang Aibao kept a low profile and never spoke or acted in public.

She's been back for so long, but she doesn't feel a strong sense of belonging.

She originally thought that as her parents' lost child who had been found again, she would be pampered and receive great compensation.

But actually, no, she was just like any other child, with everything she was entitled to.

She has grown up and no longer feels jealous or resentful.

Because her brothers treated her very well, her sisters-in-law were understanding, and her nephews respected her greatly.

The youngest, Ayu, always thought of her aunt.

Wang Aibao thought she was happy, but she wasn't. She always missed Zao'er and even thought countless times what would have happened if Zao'er hadn't been brought back.

Even if she had to be a wet nurse who was bullied by everyone, she would be content as long as she could stay by her child's side.

But now, knowing that her child is in trouble, she feels there is nothing she can do.

I felt as if my heart was being torn apart.

“Zao’er is my child, and also your cousin. He’s very cute and obedient. Didn’t you see him at the Flower Festival back then?” Wang Aibao helped Xiao Ayu to her feet, suppressing her sobs as she said, “Ayu, your aunt knows you’re a kind and good child. Now that he’s been kidnapped, only you can save him!” Xiao Ayu asked in confusion, “Auntie, can’t Grandma help you? Grandma is very capable; nothing can stump her.”

But I'm just a little kid, and she's only four years old.

Could it be that Auntie wants to switch places with that cousin Zao'er?

A bitter taste rose in Wang Aibao's mouth: "Your grandmother..."

What should she say?

Upon arriving in the prefectural city, she couldn't wait to find her mother, but her mother said that Zao'er was a lucky person and would be alright.

He also said that even if something happens, it's his fate.

Mother doesn't care, how could Mother not care!

She had nowhere to turn for help and wanted to go herself, but her mother had the servants stand guard at the door, forbidding her from leaving.

Wang Aibao cried all night. In the middle of the night, she saw the small lantern hanging at the door, which Xiao Ayu had given her during the day, and she thought of Xiao Ayu.

Mother can't help her, but Ayu can.

Ayu's husband will definitely be able to.

"Ayu, your aunt really has no other choice. Aren't you engaged to the young master of the Qin family? Their family is powerful and influential, they must have many connections. Let them send someone to rescue Zao'er! If they can rescue Zao'er, I'll make him take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days, and I'll be your slave!" Wang Aibao sobbed.

"absurd!"

In the dead of night, an angry shout rang out.

Wang Aibao was startled, thinking it was Old Madam Wang who had arrived, but to her surprise, it was Liu Shi, who was supporting her waist.

Liu was so angry that she trembled all over: "Sister-in-law, I always thought you were a sensible person, but I never expected you to be so absurd."

“Didn’t we agree on the way that once Chuanman returned, he would ask the escort agency to search for him?” Liu said. “We even made a special detour to the county town to ask Magistrate Zhang for help. Magistrate Zhang even agreed to send constables across counties. Didn’t you say you trusted Magistrate Zhang? What are you doing now?”

"Your Zao'er is a child, but isn't my Ayu a child too?!"

If it weren't for the lamb scratching at her door in the middle of the night, she wouldn't have known that her sister-in-law would do such a thing in the middle of the night.

It’s simply unreasonable!
