In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 300 The Child Was Kidnapped
After a pause, Shen Wenjun continued, "Flooding has been a common problem in recent years, but the problem is more serious now. If it can't be completely eradicated, I'm afraid it will get worse."
Xie Chengjin also nodded, "Yes, I think so too, but..."
Before Xie Chengjin could finish his words, a servant came running in from outside, shouting, "Prince Consort... Prince Consort...something terrible has happened!"
Shen Wenjun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He stood up and shot a sharp look at the servant beside him, "What's going on?"
"The prince consort... the young master... the young master has been kidnapped!" The servant finished his words breathlessly. Shen Wenjun's face suddenly turned extremely pale. "What did you say? Jiang'er was kidnapped? Who was it?"
As Shen Wenjun spoke, he rushed towards Xu Miao's yard.
Xie Chengjin realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately followed Shen Wenjun.
Arriving at Xu Miao's yard, Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin pushed the door open without thinking, and saw Xu Miao lying on Su Zhizhi's body, crying breathlessly.
Seeing this, Shen Wenjun's heart ached. She stepped forward and embraced Xu Miao in her arms, then shouted harshly, "What the hell is going on? Where's the wet nurse? Where are the guards?"
After that, the wet nurse and the guards walked forward tremblingly and knelt down. Xiao He on the side explained: The thief was a servant of the mansion. He took advantage of the fact that there were many guests in the mansion today and the guards were busy with their own affairs, and sneaked into the yard in the chaos, knocked the wet nurse unconscious, and abducted the young master.
"House servant?" Shen Wenjun frowned.
"That's right. I've checked. This servant was bought into the mansion two months ago. He has been doing some rough work. I don't know why he chose to attack the young master today." A Lian continued.
"Do you know which direction the thief went?" Shen Wenjun glanced at Xu Miao, who was crying and almost fainting in his arms, carefully placed him on the bed, and whispered soothingly, "Miao'er, don't worry, I will bring Jiang'er back safely."
After saying that, Shen Wenjun stood up and walked out with his guards, chasing in the direction A Lian pointed.
Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin were caught off guard by all this. Seeing Shen Wenjun rushing out, Xie Chengjin stayed behind to look after Su Zhizhi and the weak Xu Miao.
Xie Chengjin saw that Su Zhizhi's face was a little pale, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Zhizhi, don't worry, it will be fine. You have to take care of yourself."
Su Zhizhi clenched Xie Chengjin's hand and nodded tremblingly.
Noticing Su Zhizhi's fear, Xie Chengjin felt extremely distressed. He held Su Zhizhi's hand, brought her into his arms, and comforted her softly until Su Zhizhi's trembling body gradually stabilized.
Shen Wenjun and his guards traveled westward and unexpectedly arrived at a refugee shelter. There were no vendors here from afar and it looked very desolate. Shen Wenjun slowed down and led his men closer to the refugee area little by little. However, just as Shen Wenjun and his men were about to step in, they were stopped by someone.
"Wait!" It was a man's voice, accompanied by the crying of a baby.
Shen Wenjun stopped immediately and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw Shen Congjiang crying loudly and the servant who kidnapped Shen Congjiang.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?!" Shen Wenjun clenched her fists tightly. Looking at Shen Congjiang whose face was red from crying, Shen Wenjun's heart suddenly tightened.
"Shen Wenjun... Lord Shen... You are so high and mighty, how could you possibly remember a nobody like me? I am Li Quan who came into your house two months ago. At that time, I had just fled from the south. I was the only one in my family who could go out to work. But I didn't expect that until I entered your house, I realized that you so-called dignitaries don't care about our lives at all. We are suffering because of the flood, but what about you? You are living a prosperous life in the capital, Lord Shen!" As Li Quan spoke, he suddenly became excited.
His hands were shaking unconsciously, and Shen Congjiang in his hands looked even more dangerous.
"Li Quan! Calm down, the child is innocent! Put the child down first!" Shen Wenjun's eyes were red and her palms were almost broken by herself.
"Innocent? Hahahaha... The child is innocent, so does that mean we are guilty?!" Li Quan was a little crazy. "Sir Shen, I, Li Quan, don't ask for much. As long as you give me food, I will return the child to you immediately. How about it?"
"Food?" Shen Wenjun looked at Li Quan suspiciously, somewhat unable to believe that the other party had gone to great lengths to kidnap Shen Congjiang just for some food?
"Yes, food, I just want food. I believe this request should not be a difficult thing for you?" Li Quan slowly put his hand on Shen Congjiang's neck. Although his hands were shaking, the desire to survive suppressed the pity in his heart.
"Don't be impulsive! I'll send someone back to get it for you now!" Shen Wenjun shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
Afterwards, the guards around Shen Wenjun quickly ran back to the mansion and told Xie Chengjin about this matter.
Xie Chengjin did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the food and followed the guards to the outside of the refugee area, while Shen Wenjun was still confronting Li Quan.
"Shen Wenjun, I brought the things." Xie Chengjin came to Shen Wenjun and said in a low voice.
Shen Wenjun glanced at Xie Chengjin gratefully, then patted the food beside him and shouted to Li Quan, "Li Quan, here's what you want. If you want it, just bring the child to me. I won't do anything to you."
Li Quan, holding Shen Congjiang, slowly appeared in front of Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin. He closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them and said calmly to Shen Wenjun, "Leave the food behind, and you retreat!"
"You!..." Shen Wenjun was immediately anxious, but Xie Chengjin still had a trace of rationality, "Don't be impulsive, let's retreat first."
As he spoke, Xie Chengjin pulled Shen Wenjun back, until Shen Wenjun and his group retreated nearly fifty meters, and then Li Quan approached the food.
After checking that everything was correct, Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the people behind him to drag the food away. Then he carefully put Shen Congjiang on the ground and ran into the refugee area without looking back.
Seeing this, Shen Wenjun rushed forward quickly, and the doctor brought by Xie Chengjin also hurried to check Shen Congjiang's physical condition. Fortunately, Li Quan was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. Shen Congjiang was just a little frightened and did not suffer any other injuries.
