I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

After muttering to herself for a while, she hurriedly got up, grabbed Nana's hand, and walked towards the back room.

"Nana, listen to your mother. No matter what happens tomorrow, don't be sad or upset. I'm tired and I want to rest."

Nana followed behind her blankly, not understanding what she meant or what she was going to do.

After she led Nana back to the room, she opened her jewelry box, took out the only two pieces of jewelry she had, then found some loose silver coins under the pillow. She also packed some clothes for Nana, and put them all, including the loose silver coins, into Nana's hand.

"Take this bundle safe, and keep these two pieces of jewelry too. If you run out of money, pawn them. If that doesn't work... if all else fails, go to the mountains. There's a Guanyin Temple east of the capital; go there..."

"Mother, where are you going?"

Nana clutched the thing she was given, her big, teary eyes looking at her with confusion.

"You're acting strange today. Don't you want me anymore? Are you thinking of sending me away?"

The woman bit her lip hard and nodded resentfully.

"Yes, this family has become chaotic because of your arrival. Go away, and never come back."

"mother……"

Nana was so frightened that she hugged the woman and started crying.

"Mother, I'm not going anywhere. Don't leave me, don't leave me."

"Go away!"

The woman gritted her teeth, got up, grabbed Nana, and dragged her towards the door while yelling:

"If you dare to step into this house again, I'll kill you."

"mother……"

Nana cried until she was hoarse.

"Mom, I'll be good. I'll listen to you and Dad from now on. I won't make you angry anymore. Please don't let me go, Mom."

The woman, fighting back tears that were about to spill, threw Nana out the door and then cruelly slammed the door shut.

"Clap clap clap..."

Nana cried and kept banging on the door, "Mom, please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me!"

"Mom, I was wrong, I'll change. I'll change anything I did wrong, please don't abandon me!"

"mother……"

The woman leaned against the door, listening to Nana's sobs, her body sliding down until she sat on the ground, then covered her mouth and cried.

But she dared not make a sound, for fear that Nana would hear her.

Nana knocked on the door for a long time, but when she realized that her mother really didn't want her anymore, she left crying.

Her small body, carrying a tiny bundle, walked aimlessly down the street at dusk, appearing so insignificant.

She didn't know where to go, nor could she understand why her mother suddenly abandoned her.

She walked and cried, her whole body trembling, crying uncontrollably...

She didn't know how far she had walked, but when she looked up, she found herself inexplicably standing at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence.

She wanted to go forward, but then she remembered that she had just been here once. If she appeared in such a disheveled state, what if they wouldn't take her in at all?

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, turned around, squatted in the corner, and wondered what she should do next.

Just then, Xiangxiu returned from outside and, seeing her sitting there, walked over in surprise and asked her what was wrong.

"Whose child is this, doing here in the middle of the night?"

When Nana looked up, she became even more curious.

"Nana? It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Nana's eyes were still brimming with tears, but she didn't cry. Instead, she shook her head.

"I...I'm fine."

"Then why are you still carrying a bag?"

Thinking of the scene of her mother kicking her out of the house, Nana finally couldn't hold back her tears.

"I...I don't know where to go."

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiu seemed to realize that something must have happened to the child. She quickly went over to help her up and picked up the bundle that the child had placed on the ground.

"Let's go inside and talk."

When Xiangxiu appeared before Lanzhi with Nana, Lanzhi was filled with confusion.

"Nana, why are you out so late at night?"

Nana didn't tell them that her mother had kicked her out of the house; instead, she lied and said:

“My mother knew I wanted to stay here for one night, so she let me come.”

Lan Zhi then smiled with relief.

"I see. Your mother is really carefree. She let you out alone so late without even saying she would see you off."

As she spoke, she took her hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find Mao Mao and Ming'er. They'll be so happy to know you're here."

Holding Lan Zhi's hand and listening to her gentle words, Nana felt a warmth in her heart that she had never felt before.

"Sister Lan, can I stay at your house tonight?"

"Of course you can. As long as your parents agree, you can stay for as many days as you want."

"Sister Lan, thank you."

Nana was extremely upset when she said this.

She can stay here today, but when her father comes tomorrow, he will take her away again. When she returns home, she and her mother will be beaten by him again. She is really scared.

She desperately wanted to escape that home, but she also wanted to protect her mother. She didn't know what to do.

When she arrived at Jingxiang Garden with Lan Zhi, Mao Mao and Wei Ming were playing chess. Seeing her, they happily ran over, each taking one of her hands.

"Nana, you're here! That's great! Let's play hide-and-seek together!"

"Yeah, the two of us can only play chess, but the three of us can play hide-and-seek, play house, and play soccer..."

Nana grinned, but no one knew how many unspeakable secrets were hidden in her smile.

Seeing the three children having so much fun, Lan Zhi's lips curved into a perfect smile. After leaving the house, she immediately gave the order:

"Xiangxiu, arrange a room for Nana, send her things in, and let the others play a little longer."

"Yes, ma'am."

The arrival of Nana made not only the two children happy, but Lan Zhi was also very happy.

She couldn't help but think to herself, how wonderful it would be if she could have a little girl as well-behaved, sensible, and beautiful as Nana in the future!

In the dead of night, the Crown Prince's residence was unusually quiet.

Lan Zhi lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

She missed Wei Jianning. He was probably still on his way. She wondered if he was thinking of her too.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of urgent knocks startled her awake, and she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is it?"

"Miss, something happened."

It was Ah Qi's voice. She frowned slightly and called out to the outside:

"Come in."

Ah Qi pushed the door open and quickly walked in.

"Miss, there's a fire."

Startled, she sat bolt upright in bed.

"Where's the fire? Quick, call for help!"

"no no."

Ah Qi was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands.

"It's not our place that's on fire, it's the Zhang residence."

Lan Zhi then placed her hands on her chest and let out a soft sigh.

"You scared me to death! Someone else's house is on fire, why did you call me in the middle of the night? How am I supposed to go put out the fire?"

"No, Miss, it's the Zhang residence, Zhang Guodong's house, Nana's house."
