Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 19

"Okay, let's go to Wanxiang Temple first!"

Yunxi Yue boarded the carriage, took out the medicine and gave it to Qingmei. At that moment, a woman suddenly emerged from the bushes.

"Help...help me."

Xiao Wei immediately pulled on the reins and stopped the carriage. "Madam, someone is calling for help."

The woman was covered in blood and had a large belly, as if she was about to give birth. Judging from her clothes, appearance and temperament, she must have come from a noble or wealthy family, but she looked rather disheveled at the moment.

Yun Xiyue was secretly delighted, "Help her up."

Xiao Wei didn't dare delay and carried the person onto the carriage.

"I'm about to give birth, please find me a doctor," the woman said weakly.

She looked to be in her early thirties, an older pregnant woman.

"I am...I am from the Qin King's mansion...If you save the child, the Qin King will reward you."

It turns out to be the Prince of Qin's mansion. The Prince of Qin is the only prince of a different surname in the Great Wei Dynasty. In her previous life, Lin Bao'er saved her. No wonder the Shen family prospered later.

Yun Xiyue hurriedly took out a pregnancy-preserving pill from a hidden compartment and gave it to her. "Madam, don't worry, I will send you back to the capital right away."

"No... I can't hold on any longer. Please help me deliver the baby and save it."

Her hands were covered in blood, which had flowed from her lower body, indicating that she had gone into premature labor due to miscarriage.

She also had some external injuries. How could a pregnant woman suffer such injuries?

Yun Xiyue didn't have time to think. She had no experience in delivering babies, and had never even given birth before, but she had no choice but to do it now. "Madam, you must believe in yourself. Only if you are alright can the baby be safe, so you must hold on."

The woman, covered in sweat, nodded with difficulty.

"Qingmei, give her some water and snacks. Xiao Wei, could you try to prepare some hot water?"

Xiao Wei said, "I've found a stream. We're moored by the stream now. We can boil water if we have a kettle."

Qingmei found a kettle and a copper basin.

These are all things Yun Xiyue uses. She always carries toiletries and various medicines with her when she goes out, and she never expected them to come in handy now.

"Madam, do you have the strength?"

"Hmm..." More and more cold sweat appeared on the woman's forehead. Qingmei wiped it off while feeding her.

"Okay, take a deep breath... then push."

"what......"

It was getting dark.

At this time, at Wanxiang Temple.

Lin Bao'er, accompanied by her maid, hurriedly found the rest of the Shen family. "Mother, something terrible has happened! My sister and I encountered bandits in our carriage, and my sister has been kidnapped."

"What?" Madam Li's face turned pale instantly. "Then quickly send people to rescue them."

"If we want to return to the capital, I think the bandits will probably try to rob us."

"Isn't Young Master Yun in the capital? Let's hurry and go find him!" Lin Bao'er said.

Li was a little flustered. "Yes, yes, then let's hurry back to the capital."

Just then, the maid came over in a panic, "Madam, something terrible has happened! The two young masters have disappeared!"

"What?" Lin Bao'er's heart, which was filled with joy, sank to the bottom in an instant.

Madam Li and Madam Shen were so anxious they nearly fainted. Forgetting about saving Yun Xiyue, they quickly sent people to search for her. A group of them went into Wanxiang Temple to ask for help.

But they searched all day and couldn't find any trace of the child.

Lin Bao'er burst into tears and sent someone to inform Shen Yue.

Shen Yue rushed to Wanxiang Temple overnight, calling out, "Bao'er."

"Master Hou!"

"Xuan'er, Yi'er is missing." Lin Bao'er cried and fainted in his arms.

"How could the child have disappeared? How did you take care of the young master!" Shen Yue grabbed the woman and angrily rebuked the servants who were taking care of the child.

The old woman and the maid knelt on the ground, trembling, and repeatedly kowtowed, begging for mercy and explaining what had happened.

The child is playful.

"The two young masters wanted to go play at Wanxiang Temple, but the young lady fell asleep and didn't go."

“The servants were all with us, but there were so many people today. The young master is so lively and active that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.”

Wanxiang Temple is magnificent and vast, with several Buddhist halls. It is not located in the Marquis's Mansion. There are many people and a lot of noise here, and children running around like this can easily get lost.

Lin Bao'er suddenly realized something, "Could it be that they were captured by bandits? My sister was captured by bandits too."

"Yun Xiyue was captured by bandits?" Shen Yue was surprised; he had no idea.

The Shen family didn't send anyone to look for Yun Xiyue; they were too busy looking for the child.

"Yes, we encountered bandits on the road." Lin Bao'er was filled with regret. She was the one who brought the bandits. Originally, these bandits were not from the capital. They were discovered on the way back from the border.

If it could be of use, someone would find it.

Originally, they planned to use these people to swindle money from the Yun family and ruin Yun Xiyue's reputation, making her infamous. They never expected that they would drag their child into it.

“Those bandits are definitely robbing us. Let’s go find Young Master Yun. He’s rich. As long as we have money, we can ransom my sister.”

She can also save her son by chance.

Lin Bao'er wiped away her tears and calmed down.

Shen Yue's eyes darkened slightly, and he gestured for the guards to go find Yun Xiaohan.

"I heard the child was missing?" At that moment, Yun Xiyue entered with her entourage, her eyes filled with concern. "Has the child been found yet?"

"you......"

Lin Bao'er's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost. "Sister, weren't you kidnapped by bandits?"

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Yes! We were almost kidnapped, but luckily we met Princess Qin."

"The guards of the Prince of Qin's mansion killed the bandits, which frightened the Princess Qin so much that she went into labor on the way. Fortunately, she was lucky and both the child and the princess are safe and sound now. I came to Wanxiang Temple with her."

The woman had woken up, and both mother and daughter were safe. People from the Prince of Qin's mansion found them and escorted them to Wanxiang Temple.

She had no idea that the woman was actually the Princess Consort of Qin.

When Shen Yue arrived, he saw people from the Prince of Qin's residence and assumed they were there to offer incense at Wanxiang Temple.

"The bandits are all dead?"

Yun Xiyue nodded, "That's right! Your Highness can ask the guards at the Prince of Qin's residence."

She had already spoken with Princess Qin and was willing to help. She also didn't want the assassination attempt to become a big deal, so this was the best way to cover it up.

"The bandits are all dead, so who kidnapped Xuan'er and the others?" Lin Bao'er thought to herself, her gaze fixed coldly on Yun Xiyue, convinced that this matter must be related to her.

Yun Xiyue's lips twitched. "I don't know either. I was unconscious at the time, and my sister said she would protect me! How did she run away by herself?"

Lin Bao'er's expression changed slightly, and her eyes darted away. "There were too many bandits. I had an old injury and was no match for them, so I had to come to Wanxiang Temple to find someone to rescue my sister. I never expected that my sister would be so lucky as to meet Princess Qin."

"Yes, I'm so grateful to have my sister, otherwise I wouldn't have such good luck."

"I think if my child goes missing, I should report it to the authorities."

“I heard from the villagers nearby that there are human traffickers in this area!” Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

Lin Bao'er's face turned deathly pale instantly. She grabbed Shen Yue's arm, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs, "My Lord..."

Shen Yue said, "I have already reported this to the authorities. The court will send people to find us soon, so don't worry."

He would definitely spare those human traffickers if they dared to kidnap his son.

Lin Bao'er hugged the man and cried bitterly.

Yun Xiyue was in a good mood. "Sister, don't be too anxious. I think the children will be blessed by heaven."

"Buddha will protect them and keep them safe."

Lin Bao'er cried, "Sister, can you please go and beg Princess Qin to ask the people of the Qin Prince's Mansion to help us find our child?"
