Chapter 359: Picking Up a Little Baby
Ah Cai walked out for no reason, and then closed the door.
Luo Lan put down the soup spoon in her hand and looked at her in confusion,
"Ah Hong, what's wrong? Look at you're nervous. ”
Ah Hong pursed the corners of her mouth, pointed to the basket in her hand, and said in a trembling voice:
"Wang ...... Princess, I ...... I picked up ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ah Hong swallowed hard, not knowing how to continue.
Luo Lan frowned impatiently and said:
"Can you stop spitting?"
Ah Hong put the basket in her hand on the chair, then lifted the floral cloth on it, stretched out her hand and pointed to the basket, Luo Lan looked in the direction of her finger, and the child in the basket was staring at her with a pair of small eyes.
Luo Lan was so frightened that she directly covered her mouth and asked in surprise:
"This ...... Where did the children come from? ”
Ah Hong shook his head vigorously with a pale face, stared at a pair of blank eyes and replied:
"When I came back just now, he left it at the door, I don't know who put it, I saw that he was pitiful, so I brought it back."
Hearing Ah Hong say this, Luo Lan gasped, good to have a child, this ...... It's also weird.
She got up and went to the basket to look closely, and muttered:
"It seems that this child has just been born, could it be that the poor family gave birth to a child and could not afford to raise it, so it was sent to the palace? But our palace is not a shelter, so you can send this child to the government office later, and let them find a good home for this child! ”
Ah Hong nodded, but the child suddenly cried, and when Luo Lan saw this, he hurriedly motioned for Ah Hong to pick him up.
Just when Ah Hong was holding the child, a letter fell out of the little baby's quilt, and Luo Lan hurriedly picked it up while squatting.
Presumably this letter was left by the child's biological parents, thinking of this, she spread out the letter, and the words on it immediately made her brows tighten.
"Princess Yu, I know that you are a kind-hearted person, please keep this child, she has no father and no mother, if she is sent elsewhere, she will definitely be bullied, in this world, the only person I can trust is you, she is a girl, so she will not eat much, I put all the available silver on my body in the basket, please keep her by your side, thank you."
There is no signature on it, and it does not state the identity and origin of this child, but the letter says that he trusts her very much, so this must not be a stranger, who could it be?
Luo Lan rummaged through the basket, there were really a few pieces of broken silver underneath, in addition, there was also a Pisces jade pendant, this jade pendant had a strange shape and looked very valuable.
There is also a white jade peacock hairpin on the side of the jade pendant, which is probably left by the child's mother.
Ah Hong coaxed the child to sleep, and said worriedly:
"Princess, will this child be hungry when he is sent to the palace? Look how cute she looks! ”
Luo Lan's gaze was sharp and deep, and she didn't know what to do.
This child who suddenly came out named her to adopt, and if the origin of this child is not clear, how can she raise it?
Just when she didn't know what to do, Ah Hong tore off a handkerchief from the child's body, "Look, princess, there are words on this handkerchief." ”
Luo Lan took the handkerchief from her hand, and saw that on one corner of the handkerchief, there was a small Min character, if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it clearly.
Min word?
This sensitive word made Luo Lan suddenly think of a person, she twisted her fingers and calculated, the days seemed to be really similar.
Thinking of this, she frowned and said to Ah Hong:
"Don't tell anyone about this child yet, you take this child out now and throw her to the mass grave in the west of the city."
"Princess......
Ah Hong looked at her with disbelief in her eyes, with fear in her eyes.
She didn't believe that the princess would be so ruthless and ruthlessly throw away this living child.
Luo Lan flashed his star-like eyes and said softly:
"If I'm not mistaken, the child's mother must be nearby, and only by doing so can we force her to show up, and we can't keep her unless we find out where the child came from."
After saying this, she said to Ah Hong with a solemn face:
"Go ahead, Ah Cai and I will be there later."
"But...... But you're ......."
"No ......
Luo Lan waved his hand directly, "I want to see if this person is the person I think." ”
She will not accept a child of unknown origin, on the contrary, if the child is really that person, she will not accept it, she already has Huaiyu, and now she is about to give birth to her own child, there is no need for her to adopt other people's children.
After a while, Ah Hong walked out of the back door of the palace with a basket, she looked left and right in a panic, and then strode towards the west of the city.
Ah Hong walked to the vicinity of the mass grave in the west of the city, found an open place, put down the basket containing the child, and muttered to himself:
"It's not that I'm ruthless, I really can't support you, and our princess is about to give birth again, so you can only fend for yourself here."
After saying this, she touched the child's little face, then turned around and left resolutely.
She walked down the hill along the path and came directly to the back of a large tree, where she met Luo Lan and Ah Cai, who were hiding there.
Luo Lan's eyes stared at the basket for fear that the child would miss something.
After a while, a woman walked briskly towards the basket, and Ah Cai muttered in a low voice:
"Look, someone's gone."
Ah Hong also nodded there, "It's a woman, if it's right, this should be the child's mother." ”
Luo Lan looked at the woman with a solemn face, only to see her quietly walk to the basket, pick up the child in the basket, and kiss and kiss lovingly.
The moment she turned around, Ah Cai directly covered her mouth and exclaimed:
She ...... Be...... Is it Long Xiaomin? ”
Luo Lan frowned and said to Ah Hong:
"Help me to take a look."
Ah Hong didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly walked to Long Xiaomin's side with Ah Cai, one left and one right.
At this time, Long Xiaomin was sitting on the ground breastfeeding the little baby, and when she found someone coming, she was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Luo Lan.
"Long Xiaomin......"
Long Xiaomin's footsteps just about to leave stopped, her face flushed, frozen in place, not daring to look back at her.
Luo Lan came behind her and whispered to her:
"I didn't expect it to be you, are you okay?"
Are you okay with this sentence? Let Long Xiaomin recall the past, and tears fell like rain in an instant.
How could she be good? Pregnant for ten months, once delivered, during this period, she suffered countless hardships, she once wanted to go back to Longwu Villa, she stood at the gate of the villa for a long time, and finally did not have the courage to step in.
She didn't have the face to see them, he knew he was guilty, he was the sinner of this family.
So in the past ten months, she has gone up the mountain to exchange firewood for silver, for helpers for silver, for laundry and sewing for silver, as long as she can think of a way to earn silver, she has used it......
"Min......
Luo Lan patted her shoulder and comforted her softly:
"I know you must have suffered a lot, but why did you leave your children behind? Motherless children are pitiful, can you bear to let her be motherless since she was a child? ”
