Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

It was already dusk when Yuan Wei and her group arrived in the capital. The setting sun in the sky dyed the entire capital's dock with a faint red glow, making the already prosperous and bustling dock even more beautiful and charming.

Yuan Wei stood in the cabin, quietly waiting to get off the boat, but her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the beautiful scenery outside, and she was a little absent-minded for a moment.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed, as if she had seen something, and she quickly said to Fan Shuang beside her: "Fan Shuang, come and see, is that a child?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuang quickly walked to the window and took a closer look. She saw a small figure under the boat. "Yes, there is a child."

She looked around and found that no one seemed to notice this place, so she turned back to Yuan Wei and said anxiously: "Miss, what should we do?"

Yuan Wei frowned and said decisively, "Hurry up and get someone to rescue him!"

After hearing this, Fan Shuang nodded immediately and walked quickly out the door.

After a while, Yuan Wei heard a commotion outside and her heart tightened. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to walk out of the cabin to see what was going on.

When she came to the deck, she saw a group of people gathered together, and Fan Shuang was standing outside the crowd with an anxious look on her face.

She walked forward and asked softly, "How is it?"

When Fan Shuang saw Yuan Wei, a trace of worry and fear appeared on her face. She replied with a slightly trembling voice, "Miss, how did you get out... I just asked the crew members who can swim to go down and fish the child out, but it seems that the child was already dead when they rescued him."

"Uncle Zhao, bring the child in. Fan Shuang, go find your uncle and ask him to find out whose child this is."

Su Yuebai was not on the boat at this time. He got off the boat first to find the carriage brought by Jill.

Jier married the Lin family's son, and Jia Min decided to let their whole family follow Yuan Wei.

After Jier got married, Yuan Wei asked them to come to the capital first to buy a house. She should be waiting outside to pick them up now.

Su Yuebai was worried about the books he brought, so he went to arrange it himself.

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuang quickly got off the boat.

After entering the cabin, Yuan Wei felt the child's pulse and found it was still beating weakly. Yuan Wei hurriedly performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.

Uncle Zhao and others didn't know what she was doing, but it looked like she was saving someone, so they watched quietly and didn't dare to disturb her easily.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the child suddenly coughed, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"He's awake, awake..." Fanxue shouted excitedly, "Girl, he's awake! Girl, you're amazing!"

Uncle Zhao looked at Yuan Wei with eyes full of surprise and admiration. He didn't know when his girl had become so powerful.

"How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Yuan Wei squatted gently in front of the child and asked softly.

The little boy looked to be about three years old, with a delicate and adorable face.

The clothes she wore were even more precious. The embroidery on them was extremely delicate, and the fabrics used were also extremely gorgeous. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.

Yuan Wei squatted down, gently touched the boy's hair, and asked softly, "Little boy, what's your name?"

However, in response to her questions, the child just stared at her blankly without saying a word.

Yuan Wei couldn't help but sigh. She was frightened. She stood up and said to Fan Xue, "Change his wet clothes. Don't let him catch a cold."

Fanxue carried the child into the inner room and prepared to help him change into clean clothes.

At this moment, Su Yuebai hurried back, grabbed Yuan Wei's hand anxiously, and asked nervously, "What's going on? Where's the child?"

Yuan Wei smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, the child is in there. I just saw him floating in the water and asked someone to fish him out."

Hearing this, Su Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked Yuan Wei up and down with concern, fearing that she might make a mistake.

Yuan Wei shook her head gently to indicate that she was fine, and asked with concern, "Have you asked the surrounding boats? Has anyone lost a child?"

Su Yuebai frowned and replied, "I asked, but they all said the child wasn't lost. I just saw Jill. You go back first, and I'll take care of the rest."

As he spoke, he hugged Yuan Wei tightly in his arms, his eyes full of fear. When he first heard the news, he thought Yuan Wei had jumped down to save someone.

Yuan Wei thought about it and felt that she really couldn't be of much help if she stayed here, so she nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to board the carriage, Yuan Wei glanced at the little boy in Uncle Zhao's arms and warned, "It's best to find a doctor to check him out. The child must have been frightened."

Su Yuebai said from the side: "I'll let the doctor check him out later. You go back and don't worry."

Yuan Wei turned around and got on the carriage, returning safely to her home in the capital.

She stood at the door and looked around the yard.

This is a two-courtyard house located in the inner city near the outer city, and the environment is quite quiet.

Living around here are civil servants and scholars, and the atmosphere is quiet and elegant.

Yuan Wei walked into the house and sat on the couch to rest for a while.

She quietly watched the maids busy packing their luggage, secretly calculating when to visit Rongguo Mansion and the original owner's cousin's home.

Suddenly, she remembered something important and silently called the system that she had not contacted for a long time.

[System, my mission should be completed, right?]

[It's basically done.] The system's answer was ambiguous.

[Basically? What does that mean?] Yuan Wei was a little confused.

The original owner's wish was to come to the capital, but deep down, she longed to visit her mother's birthplace. The system explained in detail.

"She should have said she was going to Rongguo Mansion, why did she say she was coming to the capital?" Yuan Wei questioned.

"So the host's mission is basically complete. If the host visits Rongguo Mansion, the mission will be perfect. There may be additional rewards then." The system replied.

You should have told me earlier. I like the extra reward!

Yuan Wei's eyes lit up. She was going to visit anyway, and now there was an extra reward. It was great.

On the other hand, Su Yuebai was not so lucky.

The little boy didn't say anything and no one came to look for the lost child.

This gave Su Yuebai a headache because he couldn't find the child's family, and he couldn't just go back like that.

Finally, he had no choice but to take the child to the government, hoping that the problem could be resolved.

But when he was about to leave, the child grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and refused to let go.

The older yamen runner explained that the child might be very scared after experiencing such an incident and only recognize the person who saved him.

"But it wasn't me who saved him. It was my wife."

Looking at the child who was clinging to his clothes tightly, Su Yuebai felt helpless.

Finally, he told the yamen runners his address, and after some communication, he took the little guy home.

After returning home, Yuan Wei looked at the little boy in Su Yuebai's arms with curiosity.

"So you don't know why he wants to catch you?"

"I don't know." Su Yuebai shook his head slightly, also confused about this matter.

At this time, Yuan Wei stretched out her hands, wanting to take the little boy from Su Yuebai's hands, "Come, little darling, let your sister hold you."

Unexpectedly, the little boy who was originally resistant to other people actually stretched out his hands and threw himself into Yuan Wei's warm embrace.

"Perhaps he was too frightened and didn't recover at first, so he looked so dazed. When he came to his senses, you were the only one there, and he only recognized you."

Yuan Wei explained with a smile as she gently coaxed the little boy in her arms.

Then, she turned around and urged Su Yuebai to wash up as soon as possible. After all, they had been running around outside all day, and it was getting late, so they needed a good rest.

"Let him sleep with us tonight. It will be easier to take care of him this way. Let's all go to bed early." Yuan Wei said gently.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Yuan Wei had just finished her meal when she heard Nanny Chen come to report that there was a guest looking for the little boy.

Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai exchanged a glance, then stood up in unison and walked out with the child. When they arrived at the front hall, they were surprised to find an old nanny leading a group of people to greet them.

As soon as the little boy saw the old lady, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face. He rushed forward without hesitation and stretched out his arms, wanting her to hug him.

Seeing this, the old lady hurried forward and hugged the boy tightly. Tears flashed in her eyes and she called softly, "Master, are you okay?"

The little boy snuggled tightly in the old lady's arms and called out in a tender voice, "Mammy."

Yuan Wei noticed the intimate interaction between the little boy and the old lady, and realized that they knew each other, so she did not stop them.

After exchanging a few words with the little boy, the old woman slowly turned around and faced Yuan Wei, saying with a sincere and grateful expression, "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life. However, because my family is still unstable, I can't tell you my name to avoid causing trouble for you. When everything returns to normal, I will definitely invite you to my house as a guest."

After saying that, the old lady signaled to the people behind her and brought over a large box.

She then continued, "These are precious books that my master has specially sought out. We know that Mr. Su San and his wife are both lovers of reading, so we implore you to accept this gift as a token of our gratitude."

From beginning to end, Yuan Wei and Su Yuebai remained remarkably silent and did not interrupt the old lady.

After hearing what the old lady said, they realized that the other party did not want to reveal their true identity.

Yuan Wei nodded. "It's a simple favor, but since we really like books, we'll accept it."

It would be bad if I didn't accept it and people would think I was repaying a favor.

It would be better to accept it and settle the matter. They would feel at ease, and I would feel at ease too. It seemed like they didn't want to have any disputes with my family in the future.

Su Yuebai stood aside without saying anything. He also agreed with Yuan Wei's approach.

Neither the couple took this matter to heart, but Yuan Wei had some enlightenment when she saw half of the medical books in the box.

The little boy's identity should not be simple. His family had already found out about his and Su Yuebai's information so quickly and knew her preferences.

These thoughts just flashed through her mind, and Yuan Wei put them aside.

What she is worried about now is sending visiting cards to Rongguo Mansion and Yuan Mansion.

Several days passed without any news. Just when Yuan Wei thought there would be no reply, Rongguo Mansion sent a reply first.
