Chu Yunxi gently put his hand on it and felt it for a while.
"Oh, really, he kicked my hand."
Chu Yunxi pulled He Xiang and Xiao Lian together in surprise.
"Maybe the young master is also happy to hear that Huan'er has been found."
Xiaolian said happily.
"By the way, where is Huan'er? Where did you find it?"
Chu Yunxi asked hurriedly, Mrs. Chu and others also looked at Xiaolian nervously.
"Strange to say, the child was found in the garden."
"garden?"
Chu Yunxi couldn't figure it out for a moment, so she took the trouble to take the child out, but put it in the garden?
Was it because he felt that there were few people in the garden and he would not be able to find him for a while, or was it because he had conscience and let the child go before setting the fire?
"How's Huan'er doing? Is she in good condition?"
Mrs. Chu asked.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that it was dark and I was a little frightened. Thanks to him crying loudly, the eldest son and the others were able to find him so quickly."
"It's so pitiful that such a little child can't see anyone when he wakes up, and he gets scared every now and then."
Mrs. Chu felt heartbroken when she heard this.
"Fortunately, children are forgetful. Huan'er didn't see Madam and Miss Hao. Aunt Hao was blackened by the fire again. Huan'er even reached out for the slave to hug her. When the slave held her in her hand, he stopped crying.
"
Xiaolian's heart softened when she thought of the soft feeling.
"Don't worry, ma'am. I've found a doctor to check it carefully with Huan'er. After a while, he'll send it to you after he's done with it."
Mrs. Chu felt relieved and kept looking outside.
"Come on, come on, Grandma Hao is here with the children."
Seeing that the lady and his wife were anxious, He Xiang waited outside the door and quickly reported the news to the people in the house.
Sure enough, Aunt Hao entered the house right after.
"Princess, I really don't have the face to see you, and I feel ashamed of the entrustment of you and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Aunt Hao cried and knelt down again.
Chu Yunxi stretched out her hand, and with quick eyes and quick hands, He Xiang held up Grandma Hao.
"Mommy, please get up quickly. You are doing your best to take care of this child. The young lady will see it."
Chu Yunxi also nodded and said:
"This is a man-made disaster, no wonder grandma."
"Ah, ah, ah."
Huan'er in Grandma Hao's arms was already twisting and turning, reaching out towards Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi couldn't care less about anything else, so she reached out and took the little baby into her arms.
"Are our little Huan'er scared?"
"Uh, uh." Xiao Huan'er smacked her lips and looked around at the people in the room with her big watery eyes.
"Look at him, he's a kid but he's so big, and he seems to be talking."
Mrs. Chu couldn't help but smile.
"Go and prepare some food. Are you hungry?"
"Ah, uh."
Huan'er murmured in response, amusing the people in the room and temporarily forgetting all those bad things.
Chunyue quietly left and ordered people to prepare.
Not long after, egg custard was served.
"Madam, Miss, you and Mr. Huan'er should have something to eat together. We have been working hard most of the night. The fire has been suppressed, but there is still some chaos in the kitchen, so we can just put it down to relieve our stomachs."
"The egg custard is good and melts in your mouth. It is easy to digest after eating it in the middle of the night."
Mrs. Chu was also very tolerant towards her servants. She picked up a bowl with a smile, and as soon as she smelled it, the baby in her belly was already kicking several times.
"Hey, this little guy is hungry too, and he is so excited that he is making a fuss."
Several people laughed again.
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Huan'er eating deliciously, and wondered if this disaster tonight was just for this child?
Where will his parents be? Could they already be...
Chu Yunxi shook his head, putting aside his complicated thoughts, it was fate that he could get along with this child.
If she couldn't find Huan'er's parents, she would ask her father to record Huan'er's name so that he could have an upright identity.
Just as Chu Yunxi was thinking about it, a boy came to report:
"Madam, Miss, people from Ningyuan Hou Mansion have also come to help put out the fire. The fire has been suppressed. The master said that Madam and Miss should be settled and rested first."
"Okay, I understand, go ahead."
Mrs. Chu was very happy when she heard that someone from her mother's family was coming.
Chu Yunxi looked at the wing and found that it was kept clean on weekdays, so there was no problem for her temporary stay. She said to Mrs. Chu:
"Mom, you can just rest here today. I'll take Grandma Hao and Huan'er to settle down in my courtyard first."
Mrs. Chu looked at her child who had finished eating and was sleeping soundly. She did not refuse. She was indeed a little heavy. No matter how inconvenient it was, it would be safer to go to Chu Yunxi Courtyard. After all, the prince was guarding her secretly.
"Okay, you should go back early, it's almost dawn."
"Sister Chunyue, mother, please take the time to get a new bedding for mother."
"Miss, you are serious. This is what a slave should do."
Chunyue bowed respectfully.
Chu Yunxi looked at Nanny Hao's injured arm.
"Xiao Lian, please hold Huan'er, we are going back."
"Yes, miss."
Xiaolian was happy to do this work, carefully picked up the child, and left with Chu Yunxi.
Along the way, servants came in and out, busy cleaning up the mess.
The father and three brothers were nowhere to be seen. They were probably in the front yard, busy uncovering the culprit.
Returning to her youth garden, Xiaolian went to take care of her children, while Hexiang stayed behind to help her rest.
But Chu Yunxi waved her hand. It was almost dawn, and she was upset and not sleepy.
"Hexiang, you and Xiaolian should go and take a nap too. You don't have to wait in the morning. You'll get up when you wake up."
He Xiang knew that the young lady was kind to them, but they couldn't lose their duty. If the young lady didn't want to sleep, the maids would go and sleep on their own.
"He Xiang is staying with Miss. Let Xiao Lian sleep first. When Xiao Lian wakes up, come and take my place."
Chu Yunxi did not insist anymore, An Er had already come to report the situation:
"Princess, the mole has been caught."
"who is it?"
Chu Yunxi didn't expect that he would find out so quickly.
"It's the mute woman who cleans the yard of General Chu and his wife."
An Er reported truthfully.
"Mute woman?"
In Chu Yunxi's impression, this mute woman had been in their house since she could remember.
In all these years, I have never done anything restless. How could I suddenly become a traitor and commit arson? What was her purpose of setting a fire now?
To say that in order to hurt someone, she knew her father's ability, so she shouldn't be so stupid. When her father was around, she tried to hurt her mother by setting fire, and the child was moved again.
If it wasn't to hurt someone, why were you covering up? Wait, covering up? Aunt Liu was quietly transferred by the secret guards yesterday, and no one except her parents and brothers knew about it.
"Did the mute woman admit it? Do you know what her purpose is?"
An Er reported back:
"The mute woman can't speak and can't write. It's a bit difficult to get her to confess. However, the guard who was guarding Aunt Liu was knocked down."
Chu Yunxi's eyebrows twitched, and it turned out that it was just as she had guessed. She was not here for the child, but for Aunt Liu! She took over An Er's words and said:
"The mute woman set the fire tonight just to attract the guards and servants in our mansion to the courtyard of General Chu and Mrs. Chu to put out the fire, and attack in the east and west in order to rescue Aunt Liu?"
Although she was asking questions, she was already seventy-eight percent sure.
