My Daughter Was My Sworn Enemy In Past Life

Chapter 7: This Woman is Stupid! (2)

Tang Song Nian took the pulse for the child. His heart suddenly burst, and he cast a suspicious glance at the gray face in the coma. After a long time, he withdrew his hand and asked with a heavy voice, “Whose child is this?”

In addition to the deceased Sun Youcai and his wife, there was one more concubine, Dong Shi and her two-year-old daughter, an old servant couple, and a 13- or 14-year-old maid named Qiu Ping.

“He, he is the son of my madam’s distant cousin. Half a year after his mother asked for shelter, she died of illness, and the child stayed in the manor. In the past, my wife helped to take care of him. Just before, she was busy fighting the fire. At that time, she didn’t even notice that he came here.”

‘Turned out to be a pitible boy…’ Tang Song Nian thought.

Something big happened to Sun Family: both the master and his wife had died. The rest of the people naturally had no mind to bother about this foriegn child. No wonder when he fell into a coma here, nobody noticed.

When the sky flushed a grey dawn, Ruan-shi, who had hardly slept all night, welcomed the returning husband, “You just came back? Has everything been handled properly?”

Tang Song Nian apologized and said, “Did I wake you?”

Ruan-shi shook her head. “How could I sleep without you coming back?”

Knowing her temper, Tang Song Nian rubbed his eyes wearily and whispered, “It was the Sun Family Mansion in the west of the city that was caught on fire. It destroyed the entire main building. Fortunately, the fire was well controlled and did not spread.”

“Were there any casualties?”

Tang Song Nian sighed. “The couple were found dead in the fire.”

" "

Ruan-shi gasped.

People were burned to death!

Tang Song Nian comfortingly patted her on the shoulder, hesitated for a moment, then added, “After the fire was put out, an officer found an unconscious boy near a well in Sun’s Manor: a child from Tian Family, which is a distant relative of Sun’s wife. He was about to lose his life at Sun’s Manor fire accident; in addition, the house was in a mess. So, the boy was left unattended for the time being. Therefore, I decided to bring him back and arrange for someone to take good care of him for a while.”

Tang Song Nian bathed and changed after the explanation. He left in a hurry after eating a simple breakfast.

In the case of human life, he did not dare to delay a moment. He must solve the case as soon as possible to comfort the dead.

Now that Ruan-shi had listened to the husband’s words, naturally she knew he was busy with the affair. However, in a short time, the servant girl arrived with a child.

The child probably had been frightened. His face was very pale; his lips were pressed tightly; and his dark eyes were full of vigilance and precaution.

Ruan-shi was a soft-hearted person. Therefore, she could not help feeling pity at the sight of the child. She beckoned him to come to her, but instead of moving forward, the child stepped back.

“Don’t be afraid. This is Lord Tang’s wife. His excellency and wife are kind enough to keep you in their home for the time being. They will take you back when your relatives come to find you.” The woman comforted.

Ruan-shi, with a gentle smile, asked softly, “What’s your name? How old are you?”

The child still pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes were slightly less alert.

“Madam, this child’s nickname is Zhuzi. He is six years old,” said the woman.

Ruan-shi asked him again in a soft voice, but the child remained silent, perhaps because her tone was too gentle and her appearance was loving and amiable. His tightly stretched body unconsciously relaxed for a few minutes, but he was still in an alert posture.

Ruan-shi also didn’t care that much. She just happened to have a servant in the house to ask for instructions and reply, at the same time, also helping the child.

The child stood quietly, casually lifting his eyes and looking through the rosewood pavilion to the east. He saw a little girl dressed in peach red holding half a piece of rice cake in her mouth.

The female doll had lovely jade-like skin, and her big eyes flickered and looked better than all the female girls he had ever seen.

At that moment, he saw that the girl suddenly pushed the plate with half a rice cake in front of her towards an older boy sitting on the opposite side, her round face rising with a sweet smile.

After that, the older boy held out his hand, took the half piece of rice cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.

He pursed his lips and was about to move his eyes when he suddenly heard the girl crying out, ”Woaa, Mother, Mother…”

He was startled. The next moment, he saw the lady in the room, who was assigning errands, hurriedly walk in.

“Is little treasure calling Mother?” He heard the lady ask, pleasantly surprised.

Xu Yun Yao pretended to wipe her tears.

What happened to this woman? Did she really not pay attention to why she cried?

The other party was so ungrateful that she had to wipe away tears while pointing to her cocked head and looking at her Zhou gē er curiously. She then said grievously, “Brother, brother, bad…”

Hearing this, Ruan-shi became more and more happy. “Wow, you even uttered ‘brother’. I say my little Treasure is so smart! Why not speak to Mother again?”

Xu Yun Yao: “…”

‘This woman is really a bit stupid!’
