Chapter 185: Chase Her Back!

She deliberately convinced everyone that she was too sick to get out of bed, so they would stop checking on her and give her a chance to escape.

“Father, Mother! Wang Xing’er ran away!”

“What?!”

Old Wang stood up from the bed in shock and coughed violently.

Why is Wang Xing’er so good at causing trouble? She’s so sick that she’s about to die, yet she ran out! What is she trying to do?

“Don’t be anxious, old man.”

Xing’er’s mother saw his face turned red from coughing and quickly patted his back to calm him down.

She turned and looked at her son.

“Hurry and tell the physician that Xing’er has been scolding the villagers from An Clan Village every day. She must have gone there. Get someone to chase her back!”

She had heard that An Clan Village was the only village in this area without any cases of the epidemic disease.

They would be in big trouble if Wang Xing’er spread the disease to that village. She would not be able to rest easy for the rest of her life!

“Okay, okay. I’ll go now.” Her son agreed and went to look for the physician.

Their family had been quite lucky. Apart from Old Wang, only Wang Xing’er contracted the disease. Everyone else, including their children, was not infected.

Therefore, when he found the physician, the physician pondered for a moment and allowed him to go to An Clan Village. They did not have enough manpower to send someone there.

He did not have to enter the village either. They would have done their best if he could call out to someone from a distance and inform them that Wang Xing’er had escaped.

They did not know how much chaos there was outside, but they could not care less.

He quickly went back to inform his parents before running towards An Clan Village.

…

An Clan Village was very lively.

After Old An and his wife settled their son, they realized their daughter-in-law had disappeared. They went out to ask around and discovered she had run away without caring about her husband.

The couple was furious. What had they been doing?

They thought it was a good thing they could earn money by selling An Jiuyue’s son. They did not expect to lose the money and have their son badly injured while their daughter-in-law fled.

An Er returned home. After understanding the situation, he said angrily, “Father, we can’t let this matter rest. We have to find that woman and have her come back to take care of Big Brother!”

He knew something was wrong when he saw Ministry Councilor He coming over angrily with a group of people from afar. He quickly found a place to hide.

He only returned sometime after Ministry Councilor He and his companions left. Then, he found out his brother was severely injured, and his nephew had been taken away.

While all these had nothing to do with him, his sister-in-law should not be allowed to run away!

Who will take care of my brother if she’s gone? Not my father. He will only order everyone else around. And as for my mother…

He glanced at his mother. Her face was swollen, and she limped. He would struggle to even take care of her.

Will I have to take care of my brother in the end too? I can’t do that.

“What’s the point in finding her?” Old An shouted at An Er.

They had to get her back, but now was not the right time for it.
