Lost All Offspring
“Are you saying that we have to look for her ourselves?” Jiang Yubai frowned. He couldn’t bear to see the pale face of his brother, Jiang Yuqing.
“Even soldiers can’t get out of the fog, let alone a group of scholars like us,” Xia said softly while holding Jiang Huailu in her arms.
Jiang Huailu looked at her brother. She saw that he was making porridge for her with a small milk pot without anyone telling him to, and he wasn’t taking things on himself.
She immediately grinned as her eyes narrowed.
“People who have experience may still give it a go, but if we go in there, aren’t we digging our own graves?” Xia couldn’t help but whisper.
Jiang Yuqing was weak and he didn’t have many children, which was why Old Lady Jiang was biased towards him for so many years.
If the Jiang family really had to go, the family of their eldest son would be the first to take on the challenge.
When Liu heard that, she immediately turned around and looked at Xia with tears and hatred all over her face. “Look at her! Look at her! Look at your wife! She’s still so scared of dying right now. My poor unborn grandson!”
What Liu said instantly made Jiang Yubai a bit embarrassed.
The corners of Xia’s lips lifted, smiling on the outside but not the inside. She didn’t go over to comfort her mother-in-law like she did in the past.
“Mother, that’s not what she meant,” Jiang Yubai said and looked at Xia. He saw her lowering her head and avoiding him, so he could only comfort his mother himself.
Jiang Huaiying looked straight into Jiang Huaian’s eyes as she bit her lower lip gently. In her previous life, he was the only one who returned.
“I’ll not make trouble for all of you, brothers. Please just wait for a day. I’ll go in there to look for my sister-in-law and I’ll bring her back if I find her. She’s in labor right now. I think we can’t wait any longer,” Jiang Yubai stepped forward and said.
Liu finally looked better.
Jiang Huaiying glanced at her cousin.
“Uncle is old already. Should Brother Huaian go with him? Then, they can take care of each other. Unfortunately, my father is so weak, or he would have gone inside himself.”
Xia immediately sat up straight. “You’re quite calculating. You lost your mother and the baby, and you want all the men of my family to go risk their lives. I’ve really underestimated you!” Xia’s mouth was full of sarcasm and she didn’t even bother to hide it.
Jiang Huaiying’s eyes immediately turned red.
“I didn’t think so much. Auntie, don’t you know what kind of a person I am? I’m just worried that uncle can’t fight with the enemies alone. It’s a shame I’m a girl. If not, I would have gone inside myself and I’d never ask your family for help.”
She lowered her head and wiped her tears, as if Xia made her feel wronged.
This made Xia so enraged her face turned pale.
Old Lord Jiang frowned. His eldest grandson had one of the best characters and talents. He then said, “And how strong is your Brother Huaian? I’ll go with Yubai.”
Jiang Huaiying didn’t seem to hear him. She walked to the skinny young boy and said softly with a begging tone, “Brother Huaian, do you really want me to lose my mother and brother? Please.” Tears ran down her face and she knelt down after she spoke.
Jiang Huailu stuck out her head from her mother’s arms.
She showed her pair of sly eyes and said loudly, “Cousin, you want me to lose my father and brother because you lost your mother and your brother? What if the Jiang family loses all our offspring?”
What if the Jiang family lost all their offspring?
Everyone who was listening secretly was stunned.
This small baby, who looked naive and finicky, knew about losing their offspring?
And she was right!
“When grandpa and grandma die, nobody will be there to bury them.”
Then, she ignored Xia’s surprised look and asked in confusion, “Mother, what does that mean? Do we give them a temple? When grandma dies, I’ll give her a super huge one.” She then looked at Liu to ask for compliments.
