She could feel Long Xiaomin's body trembling. After a while, she turned around holding the baby in her arms. Before Luo Lan could react, she suddenly knelt down on her knees and begged:
"Princess, I beg you to help me take care of this child for a few days. My mother is seriously ill. I want to go back to Quan City to see her. I can't let my mother and my brother know about the existence of this child, otherwise...otherwise they will kill I don’t feel comfortable handing her over to anyone else, please.”
Luo Lan lowered his head and saw that Long Xiaomin had tears streaming down her face, and hurriedly signaled to Ah Hong to help her up.
She looked at the delicate baby in her arms, sighed with relief and nodded,
"Xiao Min, I can take care of you for a few days, but this is not a long-term solution. In my opinion, you should send this child back to Prince Xi's Mansion. After all, he is Leng Xi's flesh and blood."
"no no……"
Long Xiaomin suddenly shook her head like crazy, and shouted with a ferocious face:
"No, you must not let Leng Xi know about the existence of this child. If this child falls into Prince Xi's Mansion, he will definitely be shamed by the Yu family. It will be too difficult for her to survive. Please, please don't let this child live. Tell Leng Xi about it, I beg you."
As he spoke, Long Xiaomin was about to kneel down again, but was pulled back by Luo Lan.
She could not refuse the pleas of a poor woman.
She looked at the baby in her arms and nodded heavily,
"I'm still saying the same thing, I can help you take care of her for the time being, and I can also keep it secret for you for the time being, but it can't last too long. As you know, I'm going to give birth in a month, and I won't be able to do anything at all by then. The most important thing is that if it takes too long, I won’t be able to explain the origin of this child to Leng Yu.”
Hearing her say this, Long Xiaomin's eyes showed a hint of desire, and she nodded heavily,
"Well, I know, I will come back as soon as possible. Before I come back, can you promise me not to tell Prince Yu about the origin of this child, and don't tell anyone, especially Leng Xi, I'm really afraid of her identity Once it is revealed to the world, it will lead to death."
Although Luo Lan felt that her worries were a bit unnecessary, who would do anything to a child? But she still nodded in agreement. It was only for a few days anyway, so she didn't mention it to outsiders.
So, she nodded heavily, "Okay, I promise you."
Long Xiaomin looked at her with red eyes and blamed herself:
"I feel very guilty for causing you trouble, but I really have no other choice. The burden on me is too heavy, and I must remove it, otherwise...otherwise I will have no face to see all my family members. "
After saying this, she took three steps back, bowed, and bowed heavily to Luo Lan three times. She lowered her head and kissed the child's face. After a long while, she reluctantly handed the child into Ah Hong's hands with tears in her eyes.
Luo Lan could see that she missed her child very much. If it wasn't a last resort, she would not be able to bear to keep the child.
She pursed her lips and looked at Luo Lan with tearful eyes. As if she had made a lot of determination, she turned around and ran down the mountain quickly.
Looking at her back, Luo Lan put his hands on his hips and let out a long sigh.
Ah Hong looked at the baby in her arms and whispered softly:
"Princess, she won't just leave and never come back, will she?"
Luo Lan chuckled and shook his head, "No, no mother would abandon her child so cruelly. It's no wonder she found me. She has no relatives and a long way to go to Quan City. How could she do this if she doesn't place her child properly? Are you relieved?"
"Then, what to do with this child?"
"Take it back and let the wet nurse feed it. By the way, let's just say it's your relative's child and you can take care of it for a few days."
Ah Hong nodded and said to Ah Cai:
"A Cai, please support the princess and let's go back. The princess must be tired."
Ah Hong's words were right, Luo Lan did feel a little tired, not only physically but also mentally.
Thinking of Long Xiaomin, she felt sad for her. How would she go in the future?
Long Xiaomin, who was hiding behind a big tree, looked at the child in Ah Hong's hands, covered his mouth hard, and cried loudly.
She didn't want to abandon her child ruthlessly, but she had no other choice. Thinking of her father's tragic death, she felt itching with hatred.
Since the cause of this disaster is caused by oneself, then it is up to oneself to solve it.
Looking at the backs of Luo Lan and the others, she murmured in a low voice:
"Princess Yu, I'm sorry, I lied to you, I won't come back, I hope... you can let this child live!"
After saying this, she bit her lip, turned around decisively, and walked in the other direction.
She did not return to Quan City, but avoided Luo Lan and others and returned to the capital again.
At this time, she was dressed in black, wearing a felt hat, holding a short knife tightly in her hand, and hurried to Prince Xi's Mansion with the attitude of a person in the world.
Today is the seventh day since she gave birth to her child, and she and her child have only been together for seven days.
The ten months of pregnancy were the ten most difficult months for her. During this period, she imagined countless times that she would plunge the dagger directly into Leng Xi's belly.
She also fantasized countless times about what her children would look like when they grew up.
But the only thing she couldn't think of was... her own future.
Because she was sure that she had no future, and she was determined to die this time.
Now that the child is settled and she has nothing to worry about, it's time to avenge her father.
The person she once loved the most has now become her most hated enemy.
Things in this world are really cruel. Why do all the hardships have to happen to her?
Perhaps, leaving early would be a good choice.
She had already observed during this period that Leng Xi would return to Prince Xi's Mansion just after midnight every day, so the only time she could take action was at this time.
When she came to the door of Prince Xi's Mansion, it was still some distance away from Youshi. She hid in the corner and thought hard about her child's little face, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She feels that her child is the most pitiful child in the world. Her father is her mother's father-killing enemy. Her mother wants to kill her father with her own hands. If successful, they will go to hell together. If they fail, , she will not live an ignoble life in this world, she will go and apologize to her father.
So no matter what, she will be a child without parents. This is already a destined fact.
She has been praying silently in her heart, hoping that Princess Yu can treat her well!
She thought about giving the child to Princess Yu for seven days before she thought of it. She really couldn't bear to leave the child to others to raise. Princess Yu was kind-hearted. She could regard Leng Yun's child as her own, and she also cared about this child. It won't be bad.
Just when she was thinking about this, a carriage stopped at Prince Xi's Mansion, and her expression became nervous at this time.
She moved with heavy steps and slowly approached Prince Xi's Mansion.
Just as Leng Xi got off the carriage, she called softly:
"Cold stream..."
Hearing her voice, Leng Xi was stunned. He felt that he must be dreaming. He probably missed Xiao Min too much, so he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night.
But when he turned around, Long Xiaomin was really standing behind him, but her face was cold and without a trace of blood.
When he saw her, tears suddenly overflowed from his eyes. He froze in place, staring blankly at the woman he had been looking for for a long time but could not find.
