Wen Luozhi left a letter at the door and closed her own door.
When she passed Xie He's house, she squatted down and slowly moved over.
Fortunately, no one was downstairs, so she went to the stable and led Xiao Hei out.
"Keep your voice down when you walk, or I won't take you with me anymore."
Xiao Hei loves to go out and run around. Seeing her carrying a bundle, you know she's going out again.
It nudged its head slightly, and Wen Luozhi followed her quietly out of the yard.
Wen Luozhi walked quite a distance before mounting her horse, afraid that the noise would be heard by her family.
Little Black ran very fast and soon ran out of the village.
Tieyi only appeared after leaving Shanquan Town. Xiao Hei got excited as soon as he saw Da Bai. The two horses raced like they were racing, leaving only two flying shadows, one black and one white, on the official road.
"Madam, you came out secretly," Tieyi said decisively, his tone affirmative rather than questioning.
Wen Luozhi raised an eyebrow. So what if she sneaked out? It's not like she didn't leave a note.
She had already considered the worst possible consequences: she would go back and be criticized by her whole family, and then get a beating from Xie He.
Haha... It's nothing, it's all nothing.
In the evening, Xie He and Yang Guilan prepared dinner, and the whole family was at the table except for Wen Luozhi.
"Old man, go upstairs and tell your daughter to come down for dinner."
Xie He said something dryly, and Wen Muchuan, not understanding why, still went upstairs to call Wen Luozhi.
He knocked on the door for a long time but heard no response. Thinking Wen Luozhi was fast asleep, he called out loudly a few more times.
Since she was a young lady, he couldn't very well suggest going in, so he went downstairs and asked Yang Guilan to come up and call her.
Yang Guilan knocked twice but received no response. She called out from the doorway, thinking something had happened to Wen Luozhi. In a panic, she banged on the door.
The door wasn't locked at all. She burst into the room and fell to the ground. When she got up, she found the room was empty.
When she got up, she noticed a letter on the ground. She picked it up, opened it, and screamed as soon as she saw the first few words.
"Oh no! Mother! Father! Something terrible has happened!"
Those downstairs who heard her scream all put down their chopsticks and rushed out. Yang Guilan stumbled downstairs, her hand holding the letter trembling slightly.
"Mother, look! Something terrible has happened!"
She quickly gave the letter to Xie He, whose lips trembled as she read half of it before her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mother!" Wen Ziming quickly took Xiehe and carried her into the house, while Wen Zizhong had already run to find Doctor Hu.
"What does this letter say? Where is my little sister?" Wen Ziming asked anxiously.
Wen Muchuan had finished reading the letter, and his expression was extremely solemn.
"That girl Luo'er has already set off to the Northern Border to find Xiao Liu!" He took a deep breath, his eyes instantly turning red.
"What?!" Everyone else in the room gasped. Wen Ziming, the eldest brother, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. He glanced at his wife and children and then said, "I'm setting off to catch up with my little sister now."
"I'll go with her!"
He rushed out of the house after he finished speaking, and Li Chunxing watched him leave with tears in her eyes.
Wen Muchuan chased after him and found the stable empty, while Wen Ziming had already gone outside the courtyard.
"Boss, stop right there!" he shouted. Wen Ziming paused and continued walking forward, but Wen Muchuan rushed forward and pulled him back.
"Are you crazy?! What will happen to Chunxing and the child if something happens to you?"
"Xiaoyu and Xiaochen are so young, what are you going to do with them?!"
"What will happen to Daya and Erya if they lose their father and are bullied?!"
Wen Ziming roared, slamming his fist on the courtyard wall, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart. "What about my little sister? She's only just turned fifteen..."
This little sister grew up on her older brother's back; she can't get hurt!
Wen Muchuan patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying, "Luo'er said she'll sever all ties with you if you dare to go after her."
He pulled Wen Ziming into the house and told Li Chunxing to keep a close eye on him and not to act impulsively.
When Wen Zizhong returned from finding Doctor Hu and learned of the situation, he rushed out, only to be fiercely pulled back by Yang Guilan.
"My little sister said if you dare to go and watch me, she'll break both your legs!"
She flung Wen Zizhong back and walked out, saying as she went, "My surname is Yang, not Wen. I'm not afraid of her cutting ties with me, nor am I afraid of her breaking my legs if I die."
Yang Guilan rubbed her face hard. Xie He, who was inside the room, woke up and shouted hoarsely, "Come back! All of you, come back here!"
She had only read half of the letter, but she had caught a glimpse of the last sentence.
My daughter said she would die in front of any of them if any of them dared to chase her.
How could a mother not understand her child? She was determined to go; there was no way she could refuse.
Yang Guilan was pulled back, and Wen Muchuan locked the courtyard gate from the inside as well, so no one could get out.
Xie He closed her eyes and silently wept. After a while, she opened her eyes and held out her hand. "Where's the letter? Let me see the letter Luo'er wrote again."
Wen Muchuan took the letter out of his pocket and gave it to her, turning away because he couldn't bear to see his wife so heartbroken.
Unexpectedly, Xie He calmed down after reading the letter, carefully folded it, and put it in her purse.
"This girl is getting bolder and bolder; I wonder who she takes after."
"He's getting increasingly reckless; he even dared to threaten his family with his own life."
She forced a smile. "Fine, fine, go if you want to."
If something happens, she, as the mother, won't want to live either.
She didn't say the last sentence, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely somber.
After that, Xie He seemed to become a different person. She barely spoke a word all day, and her favorite thing to do was to sit in Wen Luozhi's room, sometimes for the entire day.
Upon learning this, Jiang Shuqian rushed back from town. Her belly was quite large, and she felt tired even after walking a few steps.
She went upstairs and pushed open the door to her room. Xie He sat blankly in the chair, her eyes vacant.
Jiang Shuqian was certain that she had seen her, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't react at all.
"Mother," she said softly as she sat down, pulling Xie He's hand to her stomach.
The baby in her belly moved, and Xie He immediately reacted and turned her head.
"It's Qianqian." Her voice was a little hoarse. She thought about what would happen if something happened to Jiang Shuqian, who was pregnant and had come over.
"Why are you running around like that, child?" she scolded.
Jiang Shuqian took her hand, touched her belly, and said softly, "The baby said that Grandma has seen enough and wants to see Grandma, so I brought her here."
Xie He laughed upon hearing this, though his laughter was somewhat weak, but at least it showed some semblance of a normal human reaction.
Jiang Shuqian coaxed Xie He downstairs to sit down and talked to her about the child to distract her, which actually made Xie He talk more.
However, the conversation still turned to Wen Luozhi, "Sigh, if it's a boy, I hope he doesn't turn out like his father, all simple-minded and silly."
"If it's a girl, I hope she's like you, but not like your little sister who's so impulsive."
Jiang Shu smiled and talked about when she met Wen Luozhi. Xie Heren seemed much better that afternoon.
Everyone was staring at her during dinner. She slammed her chopsticks down, glared at me, and said, "What are you looking at me for? Can't I be sad for a few days?!"
"What? Your little sister's gone out, are we going to stop living our lives?"
Knowing that everyone was worried about her, Xie He felt a little guilty and picked up her chopsticks to give each person a large piece of meat.
"Tomorrow, everyone come with me to the temple to pray for Luo'er's safety. Don't even think about sneaking away," she said fiercely. Isn't she just like before?
"Go, go, go! Bring the children along too," Wen Muchuan said with a smile.
As Xie He buried his head in his rice, the others at the table all gave Jiang Shuqian a thumbs up.
Okay, finally it's done.
If their wives (mothers) (grandmothers) don't treat them well, they'll go crazy.
