The Savior is just a 3-Year-Old

“Thank you for your blessings, Lord Fang. I just hope he can grow up healthily.” Jiang Yuqing seemed very happy. He had always been cultured, but he still picked up the baby by himself.

People nowadays said they should only spoil their grandchildren but not their children. That showed how thrilled Jiang Yuqing was.

Jiang Huailu stood on tiptoe and had a look. Jiang Yuqing frowned gently and moved the baby away slightly.

Jiang Huailu didn’t notice that, but she was immediately shocked after taking a glance.

Wasn’t this baby the one whose soul was taken by Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang?

She saw the baby last night. It looked exactly the same as the one wrapped in the swaddling right now!

So, who was it that returned?

Jiang Huailu’s eyes opened wide and her mouth became round.

Jiang Yuqing was inexplicably upset. He immediately lifted the baby. “Lulu, let your cousin sleep. He’s too tired.”

Jiang Huailu looked into his eyes deeply, then turned around and hopped away.

Jiang Yuqing mumbled in his mind, thinking the gaze of the bane was really unsettling.

“The Jiang family has offspring. We finally have offspring,” Liu told the ancestors happily. Jiang Huaian looked at her while the corner of his mouth raised in disdain.

“Alright! Get up. We have to keep moving. We must arrive in Desolate City the day after tomorrow. I’m really unlucky to have met you people,” the chief of the Yamen officers said. There was a specific handover time for the exiles and the day after tomorrow was already the last day for it.

Liu was so happy right now and she thanked the chief of the Yamen officers several times.

“What’s going on? I always feel like there’s a smell around here, like the smell of a weasel.” Lord Fang moved his nose. The smell appeared indistinctly and had been following them. The daughter-in-law of the Fang family then covered her mouth and smiled. “Father, the Jiang family had just come back after they defeated a weasel, so there’s a smell on them.”

Lord Fang was then relieved.

Yuan had just had a baby, but she couldn’t lie-in. She still had to keep moving and her face got darker and darker.

Liu was now delighted. She held her grandson joyfully, while Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Huaiying took turns to hold Yuan.

Jiang Yuqing was born elegant. After having a son, Yuan had been smiling beamingly along the way.

However, when Jiang Huaiying helped her walk, the two of them remained silent.

Nobody found anything unusual.

There weren’t medicines for healing Yuan’s face. The Yamen officers only picked some herbs along the road and mashed them for her to apply on the wounds. There was pain from time to time, which made her fearful and anxious.

Luckily, since Yuan had a child and Liu didn’t want her grandson to suffer, most of the food for the Jiang family along the way was given to Yuan, so she could breastfeed the baby.

When they almost arrived in Desolate City, everyone’s heart was full of fear and anticipation at the same time.

They thought it would still be better than the foggy forest, no matter how bad it was, right?

For a second, they were a little thrilled that they could finally settle down.

The chief of the Yamen officers noticed how they felt and he sneered. These people were truly… naive.

“Do you see that? That’s Desolate City. After going through the city gate, the handover will be complete. You’ll never be allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict or special amnesty.” The chief of the Yamen officers pointed at the magnificent building far away. They could vaguely see some of its appearance through the fog.

That towering city gate was wide open like an enormous mouth.

When Jiang Huailu saw the evil and foul air in Desolate City, she frowned so much her eyebrows almost wriggled like worms.

Yuan held the child in her arms and gasped painfully.

The baby was just a few days old. Why did he always bite her so hard that it made her bleed? And yet, she was too ashamed to tell anyone about it.

Although Jiang Huaiying was breastfed by a wet nurse when she raised her, she knew that a baby of this age would only bite when he was close to teething.

Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.
