While Xiao Ding was talking, she had already fed Si Jin with milk powder. She handed Si Jin to Luo Nianxi and went to clean the bottle. Then she started to mutter,

"This child is so pitiful. You are the one who admitted and discharged him from the hospital. It's so late now. Why don't you pick him up tomorrow?"

Luo Nianxi couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you reluctant to part with him?"

Xiao Ding pursed his lips and stood up, raised his hand to touch his thin face and nodded.

"Yes, in the past half month, I almost treated him as my own child. You took him away out of the blue, and I really felt a little empty."

"You, hurry up and get married and have a child of your own. Okay, I don't have time to chat with you anymore. Give me the things, I have to go."

"Dean, I'll take you to the car..."

"No, someone will pick me up outside."

Every time Xiao Ding wanted to send her out, she refused. Xiao Ding couldn't help but be curious.

"Dean, are you dating the cousin who came to treat his injuries last time? He's really handsome and has a good temperament. He should be good at his job. If you get married, don't forget to inform us to attend the wedding."

Luo Nianxi didn't have time to greet her. She took the things from her hand and nodded.

"I see. Go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first."

After saying this, she picked up the child and walked quickly towards the door, ignoring Xiao Ding's constant instructions behind her.

She returned to the back of the hill, put Si Jin on the ground, and then called to Bai Lan:

"Bai Lan, come quickly..."

This was the solution she came up with after racking her brains along the way.

We must find a legitimate reason for the appearance of this child!

Hearing her shout, Bai Lan was so scared that she ran over,

"Princess, what's wrong?"

She pointed at the child and the bundle on the ground.

"There's a child here."

child?

Bai Lan looked at the child in astonishment, walked forward cautiously, pulled aside the sheet covering his face, took a look, and quickly retracted her hand in fear.

"Princess, it's alive."

She glared at her unhappily.

"Of course he's alive. This child was probably thrown here by someone. Now that I've met him, it means I'm destined to be with him. I want to take him home and raise him."

"Take him back? This child's origin is unknown, what should we do if we take him back?"

"How come it came from nowhere? I found this, it's my child."

"Princess, you are the Princess of Yan. You brought a child back with you for no reason. What is the identity of this child? Is he the eldest son of the Yan Palace? This is unfair to your future biological children. Besides, there is no way to explain this to the world. In my opinion, this child doesn't look like someone abandoned him. Otherwise, let's just ignore it."

"How can we do that? This is a small life. If we don't take care of it, it might be eaten by wild animals. If you don't take care of it, I will."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, picked up the child, and pointed at the bundle with her chin.

"Bring your stuff with you."

"Princess, do you really want to take this child with you? Otherwise, let Ling Xiao send the child to the city ahead and see who has a family that needs a child. Then give the child to that family to raise."

"Shut up..."

She turned back and shouted angrily,

"Bai Lan, why are you so vicious?"

"It's not that I have a bad heart, but how are you going to explain this child to the prince? Even if the prince loves you and doesn't care about the child's origin, how are you going to explain it to the emperor, the queen, and the ministers? The royal family is not like an ordinary family. They can't just adopt a child of unknown origin or give him an identity. Besides, we just passed through Northern Chu. How do you know that this child is not from Northern Chu? Don't let the wolf in! I know you have a kind heart, but you have to know what you are doing. You should send this child to the city and let others raise him!"

"Shut up."

She suddenly shouted angrily:

"Bai Lan, I'm going to raise this child. Don't say anything more here."

Bai Lan wanted to say a few more words of advice, but seeing that her master was already unhappy, she swallowed the words back.

When they arrived at the tent, everyone was busy with their own things and no one noticed that she brought back a child.

After she put the child on the bed, she told Bai Lan:

"Go and ask the prince to come."

Bai Lan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but remind him,

"Princess, do you really want to keep this child? Don't you want to reconsider? You just came back from Northern Chu. If you bring this child back with you, it will bring you a lot of trouble."

Of course she knew, but she had promised Leng Rujing that she would give the child to Guo Wei on her behalf. Now, she didn't know where Guo Wei was, so she could only raise the child for Guo Wei first.

She was loyal to the person who entrusted her with the task, and she would never allow the child to leave her no matter what.

Thinking of this, she frowned and waved her hands.

"I know what to do. Go call the prince!"

Bai Lan then sighed, turned around and walked out.

After a while, Leng Yiyan came in happily with a chicken drumstick in his hand.

"Nian Xi, freshly roasted chicken legs..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already seen the child lying on the bed.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"How...how come there is a child here? Where did this child come from?"

Luo Nianxi stood up, took the chicken leg from his hand and placed it on the table, then looked at him seriously.

"Leng Yiyan, I picked up this child. He and I have a special bond, so I want to raise him before I find his parents. If you agree, I will go back to Prince Yan's Mansion with you. If you don't agree, I will take him with me and say goodbye to you here."

Her attitude was very firm, and her words made Leng Yiyan unable to react for a while.

She just went to the toilet and a child appeared out of nowhere?

He asked, hesitatingly:

"Did you pick up this child?"

She frowned and replied,

"Could it be that I gave birth to him?"

"I... that's not what I meant. What I meant was, how could a child suddenly appear in the middle of the night in the wilderness? What's the child's background? Judging from his clothes, he doesn't look like a child from a poor family. Why was he thrown here? Is there any reason behind this?"

Luo Nianxi held his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You mean, maybe an enemy deliberately dumped the child in the woods, waiting for me to go to the toilet, and then pick him up? Just to wait for him to stab you in the back when he grows up? Or to seek revenge on you? Haha! Your idea is really strange. Could it be that the person who dumped the child is a worm in my stomach? How could he know where I go to the toilet? Besides, why would the child's parents throw away such a cute child unless they had no choice? So, no matter what, I will raise this child."

"But……"

Leng Yiyan still felt that the appearance of this child was inexplicable.

Luo Nianxi's face turned cold in an instant.

"If you find it difficult to take him back, then let's just say goodbye. I saved you once, and you saved me once, so we don't owe each other anything."
