Chapter 281 There is Someone in the Rockery

Princess Qi was also stunned when she heard this.

She actually had no impression of the young master of the Wei Mansion.

Because the Wei Mansion and the Jinyang Marquis Mansion are related by marriage, Princess Qi subconsciously doesn't pay much attention to that place.

When she heard Lu Xinglan bring it up, she looked at the maid who was speaking with curiosity.

The maid quickly replied, "Madam is talking about the eldest son. The one just now should be the third son of the mansion, and his biological mother is Xiao Xu."

After hearing this, Princess Qi and Lu Xinglan understood.

Xiao Xu is the second wife of Marquis Huaiyang, and the child just now is the second wife's son, who should be a few years younger than the eldest son.

After hearing the maid's explanation, Lu Xinglan's eyebrows were still furrowed, and she muttered quietly: "It seems that the reputation of this young Xu is not so good. At such a banquet, she brought her own son with her, but didn't care about her stepson at all?"

Lu Xinglan curled her lips after saying this.

Princess Qi listened to this and wanted to laugh: "It's not our business, so it's not easy to interfere. But I guess the eldest son is older and follows the Marquis, right?"

What Princess Qi said seems to make sense?
Lu Xinglan thought about it, said nothing more, and came over to tease Sui Sui again.

It's none of their business anyway, why bother so much?

Just don't make trouble for their children.

Lu Xinglan was not worried about herself. Her two sons were older and were now in college, so it was not convenient for them to ask for leave to come back.

Her youngest daughter was sick at home, so she didn't bring the child here today.

Her husband, Duke Chengguo, was sometimes a little confused, but not today. He got so excited that he asked her to bring her illegitimate son and daughter to socialize.

The Chengguo Mansion had always been behaving very cautiously. If the Chengguo Mansion dared to do something inhumane at this time, her father would really come to the mansion with a gun and beat him up.

Sui Sui looked at it for a while and found it boring. Besides, many people around her kept looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Some of them were mixed with scrutiny and were not very friendly, which made Sui Sui uncomfortable and he turned his head and hid in the crook of his mother's neck.

The child was not in a good mood and it was getting late, so Princess Qi simply carried the child back.

Feng Xuanrui and the others didn't know where they had gone. Princess Qi was worried, so she took Lu Xinglan with her to look for them.

As a result, after searching for a long time and looking at several children's nests, he still couldn't find his two naughty kids.

This made Princess Qi frown. She was about to go back, but Sui Sui pointed to a rockery and whispered, "There's someone."

When these words came out, not to mention Princess Qi, even Lu Xinglan was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the rockery.

This rockery is for decoration, separating a small garden from a pond. It is quite far away from where they are viewing the flowers.

On the other side of the rockery is the residence of the female members of the Fuguogong Mansion’s backyard.

Princess Qi did not doubt what Sui Sui said, but she was afraid that there was something else going on.

She and Lu Xinglan looked at each other, and Lu Xinglan motioned a sturdy old woman following behind her to go over and take a look.

The old woman looked around, then checked every corner, and then exclaimed, "Oh, there really is a child!"

The old woman's scream frightened both Princess Qi and Lu Xinglan.

The two men looked at each other again and hurried over there.

The child was stuck in the corner of a rockery.

The place is not big, and can barely accommodate two children aged four or five. If the children were older, I'm afraid they would be able to squeeze in one person.

At this time, the other person was curled up there, his face could not be seen clearly, and he seemed to be not very conscious.

The old woman wanted to reach out and pull the child out, but her arms were not long enough to reach the gap above. After stretching for a long time, she still couldn't reach the child. The old woman had no choice but to reach in from the bottom.

As a result, the child seemed to be frightened. When the old woman touched him, he shuddered and then curled up.

Every time the old woman moved, he shrank back.

Princess Qi:......

Lu Xinglan:.

If this continues, the child will be stuck in a dead end.

Lu Xinglan raised her hand and stopped the old woman's action: "Don't do it yet, don't do it yet."

As she spoke, she turned her head and prepared to pick out a slender one from among the servants to see if she could squeeze into the gap and push the person out.

If the child shrinks any further, he will really get stuck in the gap. If he gets stuck, it will be troublesome. We can’t say for sure what will happen and we will have to destroy the rockery.

By that time, the commotion will be so big that the whole family will probably know about it.

The mansion was hosting a nice birthday party, but I don't know which bastard would do such a thing here.

Lu Xinglan felt annoyed when she thought about this.

However, the gaps in the rockery were too small, and even the slenderest maid couldn't get in.

Finally, Sui Sui took the initiative and said, "Let me go. I'm small and I can get in."

How could Princess Qi be willing to let the child go in?
The situation inside was unclear. It was obvious that the child had been bullied, and it was unknown whether he was aggressive or not.

Princess Qi shook her head subconsciously, and Lu Xinglan said decisively: "No, no, Sui Sui can't go in, you are still a child."

Sui Sui looked at the child who was hiding in the rockery and whispered, "But this brother doesn't seem to be feeling well."

If he didn't come out, he might die like those sick children in the village before.

I don't want any children to die.

She said in a sad voice: "He is not feeling well. Will he die? Mother, I don't want other children to die."

Sui Sui thought that she was thrown into the back mountain, waiting to be eaten by wolves, and was saved by her brother.

Does this brother in front of me also need someone to save him to survive?

Suisui thinks that she is a very brave and kind child, she can do it!
Her brother saved her, and she is willing to repay others.

Sui Sui's tone was soft, with a hint of sob.

Princess Qi couldn't bear to let her baby suffer such an injustice, but she was also worried about letting Sui Sui go in.

Lu Xinglan was even more worried, and immediately signaled to the maid who was fast on foot: "Hurry, hurry, go and ask my sister-in-law to come over. If it is not convenient for her, ask her to send a reliable maid over, and also ask for a doctor, and it would be best if we could find a younger child."

After rescuing the child, this matter also needs to be handled in a low-key manner.

Therefore, the host must come forward.

Although Lu Xinglan is also a member of the Lu family, she is already a married woman, so it is not convenient for her to interfere in many things.

Therefore, when it was her sister-in-law who should make the decision and deal with the matter, she would not interfere, so as to avoid being criticized and causing rift between her and her family.

After the maid responded, she hurried towards the banquet place.

Suisui was worried and stretched his neck to look into the rockery.

The child, who was originally curled up and motionless, suddenly twitched, and Princess Qi's heart tightened: "This, this is not okay!"
