"Wait, then tell me, what are the mixed blessings and worries in my family?" The old lady's hand holding the beads trembled slightly.

"Newcomers come in, and bloodlines leave. Isn't that a mixed blessing?"

"Ah, fairy, you..." The old lady sat up straight on the armrest of the couch.

"Old lady, you must take good care of your loved ones so that you can avoid disasters..."

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he strode out without looking back.

When she met servants, maids and managers on the way, she didn't even look at them and just kept going her own way.

She walked so calmly and confidently that everyone thought she was a Taoist nun hired by the old lady, and they all bowed their heads to make way for her.

Ji Xiaobei walked all the way to the gate without any obstruction.

The doorman hurriedly opened the door for her and she left.

Ji Xiaobei walked around to the small woods nearby and stared at the gate of the Ruo family from afar.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a carriage drove out of the mansion and drove away in a hurry.

Ji Xiaobei regretted it so much and now misses Xiao Baiju so much.

She was standing on the road feeling worried when a big horse jumped out from a distance, with a man wearing a tiger-skin hat sitting on it.

When the horse passed by Ji Xiaobei, it did not slow down at all. The man bent down and stretched out his hand to pick up Ji Xiaobei's waist.

Ji Xiaobei cooperated with a little effort, flew into the air, and sat behind the man.

Fu Jichang: I asked you to sit in the front, but you sat behind me. What’s going on?

Ji Xiaobei: Stop talking nonsense, it’s all the same!

Ji Xiaobei grabbed the reins in Fu Jichang's hand, pressed his legs against the horse's belly, and shouted, "Gee..."

Fu Jichang: ...

The big horse was very powerful and caught up with the carriage in a short while.

"Is Jiaojiao settled?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Okay, at the inn, the black tower will keep her safe." Fu Jichang said, "Where are we going?"

"Looking for Jiaojiao's child, the child was sent away by the old lady!"

"I've asked a doctor to come over and treat Jiaojiao. Don't worry!" said Fu Jichang.

The wind was cold, but Ji Xiaobei was anxious.

I don’t know if the child is still alive. If he is dead, how can I tell Jiaojiao when I go back?

The carriage sped out of the city, entered a village, and stopped at the door of a farmer's house.

Ji Xiaobei stopped his horse at the entrance of the alley.

"I'll go and take a look!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Fu Jichang took off his cloak and gave it to Ji Xiaobei: "It's too cold, you should wear this..." Then he took off his tiger-skin hat and put it on Ji Xiaobei's head.

When he was getting on the horse just now, he was going to let Ji Xiaobei sit in the front and take the opportunity to give her the cloak, but who knew that she would actually...

Oh! It's embarrassing just thinking about it!

Ji Xiaobei was not polite, it was really cold.

If she hadn't worn goose down clothes under her coat, she would have frozen to death.

She put it on obediently. Fu Jichang thought she was very sensible, so he didn't argue with her about who sat in the front and who sat in the back.

"I'd better go with you!" Fu Jichang.

"No, wait here!"

Ji Xiaobei's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Fu Jichang put his foot down again and watched Ji Xiaobei disappear into the alley.

An old woman and a maid got off the carriage and entered the yard.

Ji Xiaobei also followed them in.

Faint crying sounds were heard from the room.

The stone pressing on Ji Xiaobei's heart suddenly fell down.

Fortunately, the child is fine.

The old man heard the noise and came out of the house.

When he saw the old lady, he said excitedly: "She cries all day long. It makes me anxious. You should just take her away. I don't think I can support her..."

The old lady glared at him fiercely and said coldly, "Where's the money? Take it out!"

The old man hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the old lady.

The old man was not surprised when he suddenly saw Ji Xiaobei. He thought he was the person who came with the old lady.

The old nanny and the little maid were in a hurry to see the child and did not notice Ji Xiaobei standing in the yard.

The old lady took the child in her arms and went out.

Ji Xiaobei saw the old man watching fearfully in the yard and didn't have the heart to attack the old lady at the door.

They got into the carriage and drove for some distance.

Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang rode their horses to catch up and stopped the carriage.

Being stopped by two men, the groom was startled and asked hurriedly, "Gentlemen, what are you doing?"

The nanny just poked her head out and hadn't figured out what was going on.

Ji Xiaobei slapped the nanny with his big hand, and with a slap, the nanny was knocked unconscious.

Ji Xiaobei stepped onto the carriage, pulled up the pale-faced maid, threw her out of the carriage, bent down, picked up the swaddled baby, and held the baby in his arms with heartache.

"Baby, auntie will take you home and never let you suffer any injustice again."

Ji Xiaobei looked at the child's thin little face, his eyes gently closed, and the big bruise on his head, feeling so distressed.

The child, who was only three days old, suffered such a great disaster.

Fu Jichang pulled the unconscious old lady out of the carriage and said to Ji Xiaobei, "You hold the child in the carriage, and I will drive!"

……

Half an hour later, the two returned to the inn with the child.

Heita asked the kitchen of the inn to prepare some medicine and asked the young lady of the inn to take care of Jiaojiao.

He just stood guard at the door.

Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang went upstairs one after another, and Heita quickly stood aside.

Ji Xiaobei carried the baby into the house.

She put the child in Jiaojiao's arms. Jiaojiao burst into tears and hugged the child, kissing and touching him.

Ji Xiaobei asked the young lady from the inn to leave.

The little thing in my arms opened his eyes and opened his little mouth to cry, but there was no sound.

She asked, "Do you, do you still have milk?"

Only then did Jiaojiao remember to breastfeed.

She stuffed the limp nipple into the child's mouth. The child sucked hard twice, then opened his mouth and started crying.

Jiaojiao said with tears in her eyes, "No more, not a single bit left!"

When Ji Xiaobei saw the child crying, his chest swelled involuntarily and became hard like a rock.

"Let me do it..." Ji Xiaobei sat on the bed, unbuttoned his clothes and stuffed them into the child's mouth.

After the little mouth caught it, it began to suck it...

Ji Xiaobei felt relieved...

After feeding, the child's face became much rosier and he fell asleep soundly.

"Sister...how can I thank you..."

Jiaojiao started crying again.

Ji Xiaobei held her shaking shoulders and comforted her: "Jiao, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, I will never let you suffer any injustice... I will seek justice for you about the Ruo family's affairs..."

"Sister..." Jiaojiao burst into tears.

After another hour's rest, a carriage with an incubator arrived, and Ji Xiaobei helped Jiaojiao get on the carriage.

The driver cracked his whip.

Several horses came galloping from a distance and blocked the carriage.

Jiaojiao pulled aside the curtain and took a look. She was immediately frightened and turned pale. She screamed, "Sister, they are chasing us..."
