Chapter 1443: You Drugged Such a Small Child?!

At the same time.

A woman holding a child got off a carriage.

"Thank you, Madam," said the woman.

The elderly woman sitting in the carriage waved her hand: "You look pitiful, standing with the child in such heavy rain."

"You must remember, don’t go out alone next time, at least bring a servant."

"It’s my first time visiting relatives in Peng City, you’re lucky to have encountered me. What would you do without me?"

The elderly woman was somewhat nagging; the woman glanced around discreetly and noticed Peng City guards doing searches.

She hurriedly lowered her hood and thanked the elderly woman again, then turned away with the child.

The woman walked quickly, evading the crowd and kept looking back cautiously.

She followed a narrow alley into a modest courtyard with a wooden gate.

Upon entering the house, a middle-aged man dressed in silk stood up abruptly.

"Why are you only coming now! Do you know that a little later, that crazy woman Fan Xinhui will turn all of Peng City upside down!"

As he spoke, he took the child into his arms.

The woman wiped the rain off her face, her tone full of grievance: "I’m having a hard time too!"

"Do you know how many guards I’ve evaded along the way? Moreover, I was carrying the child. All you do is scold me, if I had known, I wouldn’t have come back."

Hearing this, the man comforted her calmly: "Alright, alright, it’s my fault."

The woman said, "Where’s my contract? Did you manage to trick Madam into giving it to you?"

The man’s expression momentarily paused: "Not yet, because she personally oversees it, it’s hard for me to take it."

Upon hearing this, the woman was immediately displeased.

She raised her voice slightly: "Good for you, Ke Yong, how did you say you’d rescue me to escape with the child?"

"You said you’d help me steal the contract and restore my freedom. Now that I’ve stolen the child, you tell me you haven’t got the contract. What am I supposed to do?"

"If Fan Xinhui goes to the government to have me wanted, I’m doomed! No matter where I run, I’ll be an outlaw. I’ve truly been terribly wronged by you!"

Governor Ke Yong hurriedly approached: "Little Hong, I didn’t intend not to take it out. The Mansion is huge, and that tigress is watching closely, but you know I only love you."

"If it wasn’t for considering Fan’s family power, I would’ve divorced her long ago and made you my official wife. I want to escape, all for giving you a complete family. I can’t bear you always being a concubine!"

With these words, the concubine called Little Hong looked a bit relieved.

Ke Yong continued: "Don’t worry, wait here for two days, I’ll figure out a way to get the contract."

"Now that Fan Xinhui lost the child, she’s anxious and occupied, certainly has no time to care about the mansion, it’s my good chance."

Little Hong rolled her eyes: "That sounds better, then I’ll believe you once more."

Ke Yong chuckled, lowering his head to look at his swaddled son.

"That Fan Xinhui truly lacks etiquette; I married into her family, but why must our son have her surname Fan? If that’s the case, she can’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Speaking of which, why doesn’t my son cry or open his eyes to look at people? Is he sick?"

Little Hong glanced at him: "He’s not sick, but I fed him some knockout drug to keep him quiet."

"What!?" Ke Yong’s eyes widened in rage: "You drugged such a small child?!"
