CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 347: QING’ER WAS REFERRING TO THE WOMAN THEY HELPED DELIVER THAT DAY

Originally, everyone had thought of ways to deal with Ruan Mian, but then the disaster victims in Yu Zhou turned against them, and even Mr. He passed away.

His previous efforts all went up in smoke, all thanks to that foolish woman.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hexsong was filled with rage, unable to hold back, he slapped Ye Family heavily several times, instantly knocking her to the ground, unable to resist.

He then continued with his fists and kicks, regardless of Ye Family’s pleas and supplications, Zhang Hexsong’s anger was undiminished.

His hands didn’t stop until Ye Family was nearly unconscious, it was only when Zhang Rong’er ran out to cover her, pleading for peace, that Zhang Hexsong finally let go.

"Dad! Are you going to kill mom?"

"Stop it right now!"

Zhang Rong’er sobbed, but Zhang Hexsong furiously shook his sleeves, speaking with bitter disappointment.

"If I had known it would come to this, what was the point at first! You mother and daughter are nothing but fools! Get lost! Don’t let me see you!

Ye Family hung on to a breath, not wanting Zhang Hexsong to direct his fury at her daughter.

So she held on to her last breath, intent on asking Zhang Rong’er to take her away.

That night.

Ruan Qing lit the candle and fed the warmed mare’s milk to the child.

Seeing the child who had been wailing finally soothe in her arms, a warmth flowed through her heart like a flood.

Initially, she harbored a grudge because of the child’s mother, but now seeing such a pitiable child, Ruan Qing couldn’t bear for the child to just die like this.

Especially since the child, in her arms, seemed to sense her presence.

When held by others, the child would continue crying without a sense of security, but only in Ruan Qing’s arms would the child quiet down immediately.

She felt this might be a kind of destiny.

Especially now that she was about to become a mother herself, she couldn’t stand seeing such a cute and innocent child get hurt.

Satisfied with having lulled the child to sleep, she got up to drink some warm water herself.

At this time, Ruan Mian entered the room with her aunt, and her aunt teased.

"Our Ruan Qing has really grown up, she was just a child before, but now I truly see the steadiness of a mother."

"Aunt."

Ruan Qing was a bit embarrassed and simply said,

"The child and I are fated, and he is very well-behaved. Although he is said to have six fingers, it doesn’t affect his growth."

"Little sister, shall we keep the child? I don’t think I’m lacking a mouthful of food to feed him."

Ruan Mian naturally wouldn’t waste a child’s life. "Of course, keeping a child is no trouble, especially since you and Nanny Qin both like children."

The aunt sat on the chair. She hadn’t seen everything today because she went off to attend to other matters.

But when she returned, she was told everything in detail.

And now she had something to tell Ruan Mian.

"Mianmian, your uncle, has no good intentions. Recently, many have told me that some of his people are wandering around the village."

"Do you think a relief envoy bringing so little relief material makes sense? Moreover, he doesn’t even assist Lord Lin but just idles around daily. You must be cautious and not let him secretly stir up trouble behind your back."

The aunt’s words were clear to Ruan Mian.

Ever since Zhang Hexsong arrived at Jinsha Village, she had been wary.

Especially after the incident with Ye Family, she knew she must be prepared for any unforeseen events.

So, deep into the night, she touched the Jade Bracelet and summoned several spirit beasts from its space.

-

Three days later.

The relief area had become more orderly, and even a portion of the people were following a group of soldiers under General Huo, heading to Wuheng City to set up camp and gradually rebuild.

Previously, Ruan Mian had already done preliminary sanitation and disinfection.

Meanwhile, in the house beside the thatched room where the Ye Family had caused such a commotion, Zhang Hexsong had stopped coming home.

He took Aunt Qiu to stay in another room in the courtyard, and every night, the shameless sounds of their activities could be heard.

It made Ye Family feel more suffocated! Just like being stuck with a fishbone.

Her body was covered with bruises, walking was difficult, and it took several days for her to recover somewhat.

And Zhang Rong’er’s situation wasn’t much better.

The rashes on her face had started to fester, looking more gruesome than before, accompanied by a stabbing pain.

Every night, she could only cry and complain to her mother.

"Mom, what can I do about my face, it hurts so much! I went to see many doctors, but each one listens to Ruan Mian. The last prescription they gave me led to this!"

"It must have been Ruan Mian with ill intentions, deliberately trying to harm me through others, that heartless wretch!! She’s the one who caused us mother and daughter to end up like this."
