Chapter 86: Chapter 87: Xuan’er, be good, don’t cry_1
Translator: 549690339
The Little Prince was already over three years old, no longer the delicate little baby from before. Holding him in her arms felt heavy, making her arms sore
and numb.
She couldn’t carry him to the County Government Office, so she carefully negotiated with him, letting him understand her helplessness and asking him to release his grip on her neck.
“Hmm.”
Fortunately, the Little Prince was still as obedient as he was at two, looking at her with trembling, tearful eyes. He pursed his lips in grievance and let go of her neck.
Su Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, and put him on the ground.
However, to her utter surprise, the moment the Little Prince’s right foot touched the ground, his body involuntarily fell forward.
“Xuan’er, what’s wrong with your leg?”
Su Qingluo’s breath caught, her heart tightened, and she instinctively supported him.
“My leg…l can’t move it.”
The Little Prince cried out hoarsely, large tears streaming down his cheeks.
Each crystal-clear teardrop was like a sharp steel needle piercing her heart.
Su Qingluo was extremely distressed, and boundless regret filled her mind.
She regretted letting go of Little Baby’s hand so easily a year and a half ago; she regretted not revealing that she knew medical skills and could’ve cured him.
“Xuan’er, be good. Don’t cry.”
She picked up the Little Prince again, holding him tightly in her arms and wiping away his tears: “Trust me, I will make your leg better.”
As Su Qingluo expected, the anxious parents of the missing children in the county flocked to the County Government Office to report the cases.
At the same time, news arrived from the Capital City. The Little Prince, who had set off from Medicine King Valley and was on a boat to the royal residence for treatment, went missing as he passed by the River Channel near Mingshui County. She was ordered to assist the royal guards in their search for him.
The newly-appointed Mingshui County Magistrate was overwhelmed and almost vomited blood thinking about the fate of his dismissed predecessor.
Wang Meng went to the County Government Office on Su Qingluo’s behalf, reporting the whereabouts of the missing children. Clever and quick-thinking, Little Jiaohua came with him.
Two teenage children, neither humble nor arrogant, recounted how they saved ten children from the hands of the bandits, specifically mentioning that one of the boys was of noble status.
The County Magistrate was overjoyed and tearful, wiped away his bitter tears, and quickly mobilized personnel, following the two children to the abandoned courtyard to search for the Little Prince.
The Little Prince insisted on staying with Su Qingluo and refused to let go of her neck.
Filled with regret, Su Qingluo wanted to protect the Little Prince and offered to treat him herself.
The County Magistrate didn’t dare force the Little Prince and had no choice but to let them go. He hurriedly sent a message to the Capital City for further instructions.
Su Qingluo, carrying the Little Prince, returned to their new home in the county town. She briefly explained to her parents that she wanted to go back to Woniu Village as soon as possible.
She needed to search for medicinal plants in the depths of Dashan to treat the Little Prince’s leg.
The Suhu couple had a fresh memory of the Little Prince, as well as his stunning and bewitching father. They were deeply impressed.
Upon hearing that their daughter wanted to treat the Little Prince, they naturally had no objections and immediately began preparations. Early the next morning, they set out on their journey back to their hometown.
That night, Little Jiaohua’s foster father passed away. Losing the protection of their elder, the siblings wept in sorrow and despair.
Wang Meng sympathized with them, helped bury the foster father, and gave them a small bag of silver coins.
Before leaving, he told them, “If you ever have no place to go, take your sister and come to Woniu Village.”
Moved to tears, Little Jiaohua clutched the bag of silver coins, swearing to the heavens that he would mend his ways.
He pledged to never steal again, and would live a good life with his sister..
