Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio     Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Was that the Third Prince?

Just as Xie Heng was thinking about this, the curtains of the horse carriage opened and revealed the face of the Third Prince.

The latter smiled faintly at him.

Xie Heng immediately understood that the Third Prince was going after Xie

Jun.

Recently, the Third Prince would occasionally come to take Xie Jun out to play. Although Xie Jun did not know about his own identity, he treated the Third Prince like another elder brother of his from the bottom of his heart. Qiao Heting got off the carriage.

He explained, “Zizhao, Third Brother knows that Junjun is heading to

Yuanjiang County. He also wishes to visit the place.” He explained this so that

Xie Heng would not think that the Third Prince was going after Zhao Chuchu.

When he heard this, Xie Heng could not help but laugh. He said, “You are overthinking things.”

Qiao Heting replied, “Hahaha, then we will be on our way first. We will take good care of Junjun.” “Sorry to trouble you.”

“See you when we get back.”

Qiao Heting boarded the carriage once again.

The Third Prince waved and signaled for the carriage to continue on its way. Xie Heng saw them off for a while and then turned to head back into town.

Xie Jun was now looking excitedly outside the carriage. He said, “Sis, I really miss them. Do you think they will still play with me when I return?

“Of course, they will,” said Zhao Chuchu with a smile. “Do you miss Lengshui Village?

Xie Jun nodded his head eagerly and said, “Yes. I don’t have many friends in the capital, so I miss my friends in the village.”

Zhao Chuc.hu encouraged him, saying, “Then you should use this opportunity to play with them as much as you want. After you return to the capital, you must study again.”

“I am going to study too while I’m at Lengshui Village. Bro once said that learning is like sailing against the current; he who does not advance loses ground. I can’t abandon my studies because of playtime.”

“You’re an obedient child,” praised Zhao Chuchu as she patted his head. “Your brother will be thrilled to know you’re so serious in your studies.”

“I don’t want to be a burden to Bro,” confessed Xie Jun, scratching his head. “I want to be as good as Bro is.” “You need to work hard then.”

Xie Jun promised, “I will.”

Zhao Chuchu was not in a rush to return to the village this time. She brought Xie Jun to enjoy food and sightseeing, using this opportunity to expand his horizons.

The Third Prince and his group followed behind them. To avoid arousing suspicion, they did not catch up to Zhao Chuchu. If other people misunderstood the Third Prince’s relationship with Zhao Chuchu, Xie Heng would not be happy about it.

Zhao Chuchu was unaware that the Third Prince had followed them to

Yuanjiang County.

On the 13th of the eighth month, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Jun finally arrived in Yuanjiang County.

Seeing the town gates that she had not seen in a long time, Zhao Chuchu was somewhat emotional. She thought, “Time really flew by. In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed!”

When she recalled the day she came into this world, it felt like it was only yesterday.

“Sis, what’s wrong?” Xie Jun gently nudged Zhao Chuchu when he saw that she was spacing out.

Zhao Chuchu came back to reality and replied, “I’m fine. I was just internally lamenting that it’s been a long time since I last came to Yuanjiang County.” “Are we heading to Grandma Gan’s house first?”

“That’s right. We’ll go visit Grandma Gan and her family first. We’ll give them a surprise.”

“That sounds great! Let’s head over immediately,” said Xie Jun excitedly.

Zhao Chuc.hu smiled.

When their carriage turned into a street, they heard someone wailing.

At first) Zhao Chuchu did not pay attention to it. After a while, she overheard that a child was in trouble. The person wailing was the mother.

Zhao Chuchu immediately got off the carriage and rushed over to the residence where the commotion came from.

When she entered the courtyard, she saw a woman sitting on the ground hugging her child. She was crying out loud, “My child! Don’t you frighten me?

Wake up!’

“Send the child to the physician! What are you doing here?” chided the mother-in-law frantically. “You can’t do a simple task like feeding your child.

If anything happens to him, I’ll skin you alive!”

From a glance, Zhao Chuchu could tell that the child was choking. However, his mother was hugging him tightly.

It was apparent that the mother could not think straight now. She ignored her mother-in-law’s words and cried non-stop without doing anything to help her child.

“If you don’t let go of him now, hell die! Quickly send him to the physician!’ the mother-in-law screamed furiously. She was not strong enough to snatch the child away from his mother, so she could only pace around in a panic.

The neighbors who had gathered around after hearing the cry all shook their heads and sighed.

One of them said, “This child is beyond saving. Look at his face. He is not breathing.”

Someone asked, “How did he become like this?”

Another person replied, “The kid is obviously choking because the mother fed him too quickly. That’s why I said we must exercise patience when feeding children. Let alone kids, even adults will choke on food sometimes.”

“This child is the only heir to this family after his parents went through much difficulty giving birth to him. But from the looks of it, he will soon…Sigh!’ The neighbors went on and on.

Zhao Chuchu went forward. Without a word, she immediately snatched the child from his mother’s embrace.

Everyone else who saw this was momentarily stunned.

The mother-in-law yelled, “What are you doing? You dare kidnap a child in broad daylight?”

“Give me back my son!”

The child’s mother finally reacted. She fiercely wanted to snatch her son back.

Zhao Chuchu coldly ordered, “Don’t move unless you want the child to die.

Otherwise, even celestials won’t be able to save your child!”

Probably due to her imposing manner, everyone present froze.

Zhao Chuchu used the Heimlich maneuver as quickly as she could to save the child.

The crowd watched in terror. No one dared to say a word when they saw Zhao Chuchu’s stern expression.

The color gradually returned to his initially pale-green face.

“My child is alive. He is alive…” said the child’s mother as she leaped up excitedly. She was laughing and crying at the same time.

Zhao Chuchu passed the child over to her and said, “Pay attention next time you feed him. Otherwise, if you don’t administer help in time, the child will die.”

“Thank you, young lady. Thank you,” thanked the woman as she hugged the child tightly and attempted to kneel before Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu quickly stepped aside and said, “Please don’t kneel. It was an easy task. It was your child’s good fortune for me to have been around.”

“Many thanks, young lady. Please come in and have a seat,” said the mother-in-law. She was crying tears of joy. She was very grateful to Zhao Chuchu. She said, “If it weren’t for you, my grandson would most likely have died today.”

The neighbors also chimed in.

“Usually, children who choke on something while eating are beyond saving. This young lady is incredible!”

“I don’t know why, but this young lady feels somewhat familiar.” “Fortunately, the child is fine. Otherwise, what would this family do?” The neighbors added on their commentaries.

Just as Zhao Chuchu was about to leave, both the child’s mother and her mother-in-law prevented her from doing so.

“Young lady, we owe you a debt of gratitude for saving our child’s life. Please stay for a meal.”

“Thanks to you, the old will not need to bury the young. We will never forget

Zhao Chuchu smiled gently and said, “I am a physician. Saving people is what I do. You do not need to be so polite.”

“You saved the child’s life. This is the least we can do,” said the mother-in-law. Just as she was about to continue, she was interrupted by an excited voice.

Someone suddenly called out, “Chuchu, is that you? When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wouldn’t have known you were back if I hadn’t checked out this commotion. That’s right.. What happened just now? Madam, is everything alright?”
