The door opened, and the person on the bed struggled to open their eyes. He seemed to hear a sound and looked toward the doorway, only to see a figure flash past him.
The figure resembled someone—no, not just the figure, but the person’s aura.
Feng Lihen desperately tried to get up and chase after the figure.
But as soon as he moved, he weakly slumped back down.
Meanwhile, Bei Yutang left the courtyard and climbed over the wall through the back gate, successfully leaving Yihong Courtyard.
So much time had passed; Zhao Erhu certainly wouldn’t be in the front courtyard.
Bei Yutang hurried home, walking quickly. When she arrived home, she found that Xiao Zimo and Daixiang weren’t there.
They must be looking for her outside.
Bei Yutang’s first thought was the area where the Yihong Courtyard was located; they must have started their search from where she disappeared.
Bei Yutang headed straight for the street where the Yihong Courtyard was located. The Yihong Courtyard was quiet. If they weren’t there, they must be nearby. She searched the surrounding area again, but still couldn’t find the three people.
After searching back and forth for a while, Bei Yutang finally gave up.
Sigh, she decided to go back and wait for them to return.
Bei Yutang returned home, watching as darkness completely fell, the courtyard gate quiet and still.
At Hai Shi (9-11 PM), footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate. Bei Yutang immediately stood up. The gate was pushed open, and she saw Xiao Zimo and Daixiang walking dejectedly ahead, with Zhao Erhu following behind.
When they saw the person standing in the courtyard, Xiao Zimo’s eyes lit up.
“Mother.”
Xiao Zimo ran toward Bei Yutang, throwing himself into her arms, his small arms tightly wrapped around her.
“Mother, I…I thought you didn’t want me anymore.” Xiao Zimo said, his voice choked with emotion, filled with deep grievance.
Bei Yutang patted the little boy’s head: “It’s all Mother’s fault, making Mo’er worry.”
“Mother!” Xiao Zimo hugged her tightly.
Daixiang and Zhao Erhu’s tense expressions relaxed.
The hearts they had been holding in all day could finally be put down.
After a long while, Xiao Zimo recovered.
Zhao Erhu asked, “Mrs. Mu, where did you go last night? We were so worried about you all day!”
The three of them looked at her, waiting for her reply.
Bei Yutang coughed lightly, “I ran into a little trouble, which delayed me a bit.”
Of course, she couldn’t tell them that she had been captured and forced to work as a maid!
Zhao Erhu was smart; hearing her explanation, he didn’t press further.
Bei Yutang said apologetically to them, “I’m so sorry for making you worry.”
“Sister Mu, it’s good that you’re alright.” Daixiang said sweetly.
Zhao Erhu nodded beside her, “Yes. Seeing that you’re alright, I’m relieved.”
“Brother Zhao, we’ll go check on the other family tomorrow.” Bei Yutang said softly.
“Aren’t you going to rest for a few days? She’s right there; she can’t run away.”
Bei Yutang shook her head, “No. I don’t have anything serious to do. Let’s stick to our pre-arranged plan.”
What she needed most right now was time, so she needed to find her and settle this matter as soon as possible.
Seeing her insistence, Zhao Erhu didn’t say anything more.
“Alright, let’s go to Master Zhang’s house tomorrow.”
Zhao Erhu was about to leave when Bei Yutang stopped him.
“Brother Zhao, have something to eat before you go.”
“No. My women at home are waiting for me.”
Bei Yutang didn’t try to stop him further; “Take care on the road.”
