Fragrant willow catkins

Ningxu: "No way..."

Ningxu and the Third Master agreed to keep the girl because she looked weak and thin, and they were afraid that she would be eaten by wolves and tigers in the mountains. Now they told her that this girl might be involved in a murder case... Ningxu really couldn't connect that weak and pitiful face with the face of a killer.

The Third Master couldn't believe that he had made a mistake in judging a person by her appearance, but if it was true, he didn't believe that a woman who had just come out of confinement had the strength to kill someone. Then, was this baby... the woman's own?

The Third Master's eyes seemed to light up, and he quickly turned to Mr. He, "Mr. He, send someone to check if there was any child missing three months ago, or a child as big as the one behind was missing."

"Master, do you think that woman is a human trafficker?" Mr. He was a little shocked.

The Third Master nodded affirmatively.

After receiving the order, Mr. He walked out of the carriage and sent someone to do the job.

Ningxu approached the Third Master curiously and asked, "Can the missing baby case from three months ago be found?" As far as she knew, Yonghe Continent was quite large. Could anyone find out about a missing child this young?

"Of course." The Third Master was very confident.

It turned out that not long after the death of the previous emperor, when the third master succeeded to the throne and the empress dowager took power, she created a new childbirth department, which was responsible for registering babies born thereafter. Every baby had to be registered at the new childbirth department. Formal responsible personnel would also come to the birthing process with the midwife to supervise the birthing process and ensure that the baby would not be killed in an improper way after birth.

After hearing this, Ningxu couldn't help but sigh that the Queen Mother was worthy of being the previous goddess and had made so many great contributions to the Tianle Dynasty.

Before the guards sent by Mr. He came back, they could only wait like this. After spending a long time together, they knew that the woman's last name was Luo, so they just called her Miss Luo and the baby Xiao Luo.

In fact, Xiao Luo was not that noisy. He only cried when he was hungry. But because Xiao Luo could only drink rice soup, the large group had to stop and set up camp each time so that the chefs could light a fire and cook porridge. This was how a lot of time was wasted.

After spending five or six days like this, everyone didn't know whether they became numb or gradually accepted it, because seeing that Master San didn't seem to want to solve the problem, they were forced to accept it.

The Mo family's children were fine, they didn't have to take care of the baby, and they could get off the carriage and move around freely, so they didn't dislike Xiao Luo very much, and would hold him and play with him when they had time. Of course, Mo Xi was the exception, she never got within five meters of the mother and child.

Speaking of torture, Lady Bai had the best experience. Her entire carriage was filled with children's things, and every time Xiao Luo woke up, it was she who made noises. But the second carriage was full of people, and the first carriage was full of people, and the Third Master would not give her the opportunity to disturb him and Ningxu, so Lady Bai's wish to change carriages was rejected several times. She could only shrink in the corner of the carriage and hug the quilt, blaming herself for being the first to do it, and smiling at Xiao Luo.

At noon, the team camped under the shade of a tree. Some cooked, some made fire, and some basked in the sun. Although the two teams sent by Mr. He did not return, the third team sent by carrier pigeon a few days ago sent back good news. They found a farmer from another path, and there happened to be a wet nurse. They promised to pay her and escort her home safely. They also showed the wet nurse their badges to prove that they were regular soldiers. The wet nurse agreed to them with confidence and is now rushing back.

After hearing the good news, Ningxu felt as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. She stood up and stretched in the carriage. Little Luo finally had milk to drink.

In a very good mood, Ningxu walked out of the carriage, put her hands behind her back, and strolled around leisurely, leaving the Third Master to rest in the carriage.

In the midst of this boring journey, there was finally some good news, and Ningxu felt that the sky had become much brighter.

While strolling, Ningxu saw Mo Xi walking towards her with a stern face. Just by Mo Xi's look, even if she didn't say anything, Ningxu could guess what she was here for.

Ningxu: "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Mo Xi was stunned when she heard her words. It was obvious that she didn't come here because she was hungry, right? Was this woman doing this on purpose? !

Mo Xi frowned and pursed his lips, "Miss Luo is taking too long, isn't she? Go talk to big brother and think of a solution!"

Ningxu: "Don't worry, we have already searched nearby to see if there are any farmers with wet nurses. She will be well soon."

"Looking for a wet nurse? If you can find a wet nurse, why don't you just throw them to the farmers? At most, I can give them more money. If you don't pay, I will." Mo Xi looked incredible. She didn't understand why she had to take the mother and son with her. Although she knew that they had done nothing wrong, she was upset to see the deep love between the mother and son.

Ningxu took a step towards Mo Xi and pulled her over. "Oh, you should be on guard against others. Do you know if the farmer will be tempted by your beauty? Miss Luo is so pretty."

Of course, this was meant to deal with Mo Xi. Previously, this method could still be used. At most, a small team would be sent to escort Miss Luo to a town for resettlement. But now that they suspected Miss Luo of trafficking children, they could not let her go. They had to keep her under their noses.

Mo Xi still looked somewhat reluctant, but Ru Meng was right, she couldn't put anyone to death.

Ningxu: "Oh, don't worry, with a wet nurse, the progress will be faster, okay."

Ningxu coaxed Mo Xi, and Mo Xi smoothed out her pouting mouth. Ningxu then pulled her aside and chatted with her, laughing.

In the distance, Miss Luo seemed to be looking at the backs of the two of them, then she hugged Xiao Luo and coaxed him, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking, with a gloomy expression. It was not until the chef placed the rice soup in front of her table and called her several times that she came to her senses.

Miss Luo was a very calm person. She didn't like to talk much in the team. She always looked around with her eyes wide open. She kept a distance from others during breaks or meals, fearing that someone would ask her something that she couldn't answer.

A few days later, the team with the wet nurse came back. Old He placed the wet nurse in the third carriage. As expected, Xiao Luo became much more convenient after having milk. Even if he was hungry, they didn't have to stop and wait for the chef to cook porridge. They could eat in the carriage.

Without the trouble of eating, the team moved much faster.

Unlike the team that returned first, the members of the two teams behind sneaked in under the cover of night, and then quietly followed Mr. He into the tent of the Third Master to report the situation.

As expected, the Third Master did not think too much. There was no flood in any village within a hundred miles. The holy water was already running dry, and now it was autumn and winter, with little rainfall. We were thankful that the water level in various places could remain at the same level as before. How could there be a sudden flood in some place with heavy casualties?
