Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 441

Qin Sui carefully took the child. The child was still sleeping soundly, with rosy cheeks and slightly fluttering eyelashes, as if he was not frightened at all.

"You are such a carefree child!" Qin Cui felt relieved and turned to walk into the house. Sun Jifei also followed her into the main room.

Qin Sui handed the child to Qing Gu who followed behind and said, "Take the child in and let him sleep!"

Only after Qinggu left with the child did Qin Sui look at Sun Jifei.

Sun Jifei was wearing a black nightgown, which was covered in mud and torn, and there was even blood on his arms.

"Uncle Sun is injured?" Qin Rui felt a little guilty. She was only paying attention to the child and didn't notice Sun Jifei's condition.

Sun Jifei said: "It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious, I'll just go back and bandage it later."

Then, he said seriously, "By the way, it's too late today, and it's not convenient to send the child back to the palace, so I brought him back. When it's daybreak, Madam can send someone to send him back."

"Well, I'll take care of this. Has anyone gone to the palace to report the news?"

"We have sent people, but they won't alert anyone else." Sun Jifei hinted at something, and Qin Cui nodded in understanding.

"The child was found in a house belonging to Du Ziren's mother. The guard had good martial arts skills and it took a lot of effort to get the child out."

In fact, it was because Sun Jifei and his secret guards arrived too quickly that the other party was not overly prepared and was caught off guard.

Later, Sun Jifei told Qin Cui that most of the people who went this time were injured, and two secret guards died.

When Qin Sui heard this, her heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

To Qin Sui, the people who lived in the Xiao family were all people with names, flesh and blood, and emotions. She did not regard them as pawns or killers who could be sacrificed at any time.

However, Qin Sui quickly suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Sun Jifei: "Uncle Sun, go back and wash up first. Doctor Li is staying in the outer courtyard today just in case the current situation occurs."

Sun Jifei stood up and took two steps, then looked back at Qin Sui who was sitting upright, and softened his expression slightly: "Life and death are determined by fate, you don't have to think too much, go to bed early, this matter is not over yet, the next thing will not be easy."

Qin Sui closed her eyes tightly and forced a stiff smile: "Uncle Sun, go and have a rest. I'm fine."

No matter how many things she has been through, Qin Cui still respects and cares for human life.

Unable to relieve the depression in her heart, Qin Sui could only suppress her anger. After sighing heavily, she got up to rest.

Sun Jifei went to check on the injured first and saw that Doctor Li had already bandaged them and a servant was setting up the medicine stove to boil medicine.

His mood was equally heavy, even more so than Qin Sui's. Those were the people he spent every day with, and his feelings for them grew deeper and deeper.

He just stood in the shadow of the porch, feeling a little dazed, and even more confused about his current situation.

Because he was tired of fighting and the endless wandering, he came to Uncle Qi, hoping to find a place to settle down, a roof over his head and three meals a day. But now it seems that he has just changed the place to continue fighting, and there are even more intrigues and tricks than in the martial arts world.

The struggles among the powerful are several times more sinister than those in the underworld. They don't even have the customary ethics of the underworld. Everything is based on interests and selfishness.

They were just looking for a child, but countless people died and were injured. The price was indeed high. Was it just because the young master had a higher status? Was it worth it?

A warm hand quietly grasped Sun Jifei's hand, and Sun Jifei suddenly came back to his senses from his endless thoughts. He turned around and saw Yao Zhuer looking at him timidly. The lantern in front of him shone in Yao Zhuer's eyes, which were particularly bright, allowing Sun Jifei to see the worry and admiration in them.

Sun Jifei said nothing, but reached out and held the petite and fragile Yao Zhuer in his arms. He was a grown man, but he actually drew strength from this little girl to heal the wounds in his heart.

Yao Zhuer put her hands on both sides, her body stiff, allowing the seemingly indestructible Sun Jifei to hug her. She couldn't help blushing, but her heart was filled with unusual sweetness.

The hug was strong, but they broke apart quickly. Sun Jifei was at a loss, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's so late, why are you still here?"

Yao Zhuer pointed to the main hall and said, "Sister Si Niang is still busy in there. I don't have any skills, so I'll just help out."

She looked up at Sun Jifei shyly, blushing and saying, "I want to see you come back safely, too."

A warm current surged in Sun Jifei's heart and rushed to his head, sweeping away all the previous chaotic and complicated thoughts. He instantly found the most powerful reason for what he was doing now.

He reached out and gathered Yao Zhuer's messy hair behind her ears, then pinched her hot earlobes. This action was more ambiguous and intimate than a hug.

Just as the two were caught up in an indescribable, inappropriate beauty, Zhang Tianyao came out with a cane, looked around, and turned his gaze over here.

Sun Jifei immediately returned to his usual serious look, turned around, strode out of the shadows, and walked towards Zhang Tianyao.

Yao Zhuer did not follow him, but leaned against the pillar somewhat weakly. She had been married before, so she naturally knew that she was aroused just now. The other party only lightly touched her earlobe, but she felt relaxed and happy. It was really too embarrassing.

Then he couldn't help but think: Will Sun Jifei think I'm frivolous?

The only people who could fall asleep that night, apart from the children, were probably those who were too naive or those who were unaware of the situation.

The next morning, Yaoxiang sent an old maid to the Xiao family.

"Madam, are you here to take the young master back?" Qin Cui personally received the old nanny. This was the nanny that came with Yaoxiang's mother as a dowry. She was very old and had been living in the backyard of the palace for a long time. She rarely left the courtyard.

"The princess wants me to stay in your house for a few days, and the young master will stay there temporarily until the princess has sorted out the palace and takes him back. I wonder what Madam Xiao thinks?"

Qin Cui naturally had no reason to refuse, but this young master had a special status. If even the Ninth Prince's Palace was not safe, would her own home be safe?
Just at this moment, Su, who had not slept well the night before, came hurriedly to inquire about the situation. Hearing that the child was in the room, she went in to take a look. The child woke up and was eating. He was not shy when he saw Su, and his smiling face made Su's heart melt instantly.

After Su played with the child for a while, she came out to talk to Qin Sui and the nanny.

When she heard that the nanny was going to stay to take care of the child, she hurriedly invited the nanny to live in the yard next to hers, saying that it would be convenient for them to take care of the child together.

Yaoxiang's young son is about the same age as Su's daughter, so it's good for him to have a companion.
