The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Entering the inner courtyard, the woman's crying became clearer. Hua Miaomiao quickened her pace and walked outside, followed closely by Mr. Zhu.

"My poor Niuniu, it's because of your mother's poor judgment that you have suffered so much. How could he do this? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

The crying woman in the room was indeed Chen, and her words confirmed Hua Miaomiao's previous guess. I wonder what Yao Muyuan did to Niu Niu?

Hua Miaomiao pushed the door open and the woman on the bed raised her head in fear, her face full of horror and resentment. The child in her arms was pale and there were several suspicious blood spots on his neck.

Chen was so frightened that she was a little dazed and didn't recognize Hua Miaomiao for a while. She hugged her daughter tightly and stepped back. Her eyes were like a mother wolf protecting her cubs. But even so, Niuniu in her arms showed no sign of waking up.

"What else do you want? I tell you, don't even think about hurting my daughter again, or I'll fight you!"

"Mrs. Lin, look carefully, it's me."

When Chen heard the visitor address her, she knew that the other party was not sent by that person. She looked at Hua Miaomiao carefully for a long time before she remembered.

"Girl, it's you. Your eyes..."

"This is a long story, and time is running out. First, tell me, how did you get here? What happened half a year ago? When I received the news and rushed over, no one was there. Also, what happened to Niuniu?"

When talking about her children, Chen couldn't stop crying.

It turned out that half a year ago, their family of three was suddenly detained by soldiers. At first, Chen thought that Qian Ning's affair was exposed. Until she and Niuniu were sent to this house and met her "deceased" husband.

Yao Muyuan is no longer the same as before. He is dressed in gorgeous clothes and his speech and behavior are full of nobility. He detained Lin Yichen and kept the mother and daughter in this courtyard. He did nothing else but provide them with good food and drink.

After hearing this, Hua Miaomiao finally understood why Yao Muyuan didn't send anyone to guard the place, and he wasn't afraid that the mother and daughter would escape. It turned out that he was holding a hostage.

At first, Chen thought Yao Muyuan was afraid that she would reveal his identity, so she thought as long as everyone was safe, she could just keep him locked up. But tonight, Yao Muyuan came over and did something that horrified her.

He actually wanted to use Niuniu to raise spirit insects, hoping to use evil methods to make his prime minister's wife pregnant and give birth to a child. Now that the spirit insect has entered her body, she needs to be raised in her body for 9981 days, then taken out and used as medicine. But by then, Niuniu might have died, so this is basically exchanging one life for another.

Hua Miaomiao went forward to check. Apart from a few small blood spots that had not yet healed, there was no abnormality in the pulse. It seemed that she had to reunite with Xiuzhu as soon as possible.

"It turns out that he never gave up. He is so cruel." Mr. Zhu muttered to himself.

Hua Miaomiao understood the hidden meaning in his words, and she kept looking at him on the way back.

"Don't look at me like that. I'll tell you everything I can."

Three years ago, Princess Linglan fell into the water and had a miscarriage, but she never had any children. Since then, the Prime Minister has been looking for good doctors, but there is no good news. Until half a year ago, a monk from the Western Regions came and told the Prime Minister about this method of using life to support life.

"This is clearly an evil monk." Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but complain. Yao Muyuan was able to find Chen and the others in a short time. I'm afraid he had someone watching them all along. This person's mind was so secretive that it was frightening.

"When the Imperial Master heard about this, he was quite shocked and went to visit the Regent overnight. The Regent immediately ordered the monk to be imprisoned and repeatedly warned the Prime Minister. I didn't expect that he would not give up and do such an immoral thing in private."

Hua Miaomiao thought, you don't know what he did for power, otherwise you wouldn't be shocked. However, the Imperial Master and the Regent sound like they are quite righteous people, maybe they can be asked for help.

"I've said everything that can be said. Let's also say what cannot be said. Who do you work for?" This Mr. Zhu obeyed Yao Muyuan more than he trusted him, which was the exact opposite of Lin Wei.

"Why can't I tell you this? I was sent by the Imperial Master to help the Prime Minister find a cure for his illness."

"No wonder he's avoiding you about this."

Hua Miaomiao suddenly realized that it seemed that Mr. Zhu was a chess piece placed by the national master next to Yao Muyuan, and his situation in the prime minister's mansion was not much better than her own.

"So, you brought him to me?"

"Um, haha... yeah!"

"I'm having a quiet life! You pay me for it!" Hua Miaomiao chased Mr. Zhu and beat him up, venting all the pent-up emotions in the room.

Mr. Zhu fled in a panic, turning back to beg for mercy from time to time.

"Girl, spare me. I'll take you to a good place."

The two of them quietly came to a back alley. Mr. Zhu picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, inserted it into the crack of the door, and the door opened with a skilled movement.

Hua Miaomiao was dumbfounded. A thief in the middle of the night? She hurriedly stopped Mr. Zhu.

"Are you crazy? What do you want to do?"

"This is the back door of the Treasure Pavilion. Their staff have gone to bed now."

"so what?"

"Aren't you hungry? I'll take you to satisfy your appetite."

"Where are the holy books you read?"

"Food and sex are human nature."

Hua Miaomiao was defeated by his shamelessness. She didn't want to be caught and paraded through the streets. It was too embarrassing.

"Enjoy your meal, I'm going back now."

After saying that, she turned around to leave, but Mr. Zhu would not let her go.

"Blessings should be shared. Come on!"

It was the first time in Hua Miaomiao's life that she was a thief, and she had to steal food from someone's kitchen. It was really embarrassing.

Mr. Zhu was like he was in his own kitchen. He took out a basket of dim sum from the steamer, found a roast goose from the cupboard, and moved a jar of wine from the corner... Looking at the increasing amount of food in front of him, Hua Miaomiao was almost going crazy.

"That's enough. Do you have any sense of being a thief?"

"I'm already a thief, what self-awareness do I need?"

"..."

He took off the badge that was hurting him, sat on the ground, and started to eat with relish.

Seeing him eating with gusto, Hua Miaomiao couldn't resist the temptation and started eating as well. As expected of the No. 1 restaurant in the world, the food was really delicious.

"Give me some wine."

Hua Miaomiao pushed it back. She was well aware of how bad her drinking behavior was and she would never dare to touch alcohol.

"Just a little."

Mr. Zhu insisted that she drink some, and he even put the wine jug in front of Hua Miaomiao, which made Hua Miaomiao a little unhappy.

"Everyone says I... Ugh!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mr. Zhu's wine jug pushed against her. Hua Miaomiao was caught off guard and was immediately furious, forgetting to hold back her voice.

"What do you want to do!"

"Don't worry, just sleep when you're drunk."

Hua Miaomiao didn't know what he wanted to do, so she stood up cautiously and walked out. But after taking two steps, she felt dizzy. What a strong alcohol!

Her body softened and she fell down, and was caught by a pair of slightly cool hands.

She completely lost consciousness.
