Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1142: I Beg You, Please Don’t Scare Me...

The wedding had been disrupted like this, but fortunately, Tobanya and Meng Zhuqing had already completed their vows. What remained was dealing with the bodies of these people. As for the wedding banquet, that would have to be canceled.

Anyway, no guests dared to stay and partake.

They just feared another wave of assassins might come.

Meng Zhuqing felt somewhat sorry for Tobanya; getting married was a once-in-a-lifetime event that had ended up like this.

Tobanya wasn’t an unreasonable person; this wasn’t Meng Zhuqing’s fault at all. As soon as she saw Meng Zhuqing feeling guilty, she reassured her to not mind it.

Meng Zhuqing appeared to be comforted by Tobanya, but still felt guilty towards her. Yet with the wedding having turned out this way, there was nothing he could do but wait for future opportunities to make it up to her.

Gong Juechen was wrapping the wounds on Gong Juese’s hands while Meng Lanqing led people to investigate the corpses of the assassins. Then, he discovered that one of the assassins had a tiny red flame-shaped mark beneath the right foot.

”Chilin people!” Meng Lanqing immediately exclaimed in shock.

The mark of a red flame on the sole of one’s foot was only in ever found amongst the Chilin people, a fact well-known to all.

...

After taking the four little ones out of the General’s mansion, Xiao Changyi and the others took a carriage back to Prince Yi’s Mansion with the four little ones.

Inside the carriage, no matter what methods An Jing and Xiao Changyi used, the four children continued to cry incessantly, their little bodies trembling non-stop, completely terrified and unable to recover.

Even using the method of rubbing their faces against the children, which usually worked, was useless this time.

Usually, whenever they rubbed faces with the four little ones, the children would laugh, especially little An Yiyun, who particularly liked having them do that to him.

But now, the four little ones were not having any of it.

Because of his frailty, An Yiyun had been crying for too long and could no longer make a sound, just hiccupping continuously while his little body kept shaking, making An Jing and the others feel as if he might not get through this tough time.

An Jing was so worried, her eyes red.

Xiao Changyi’s expression was particularly grim, his lips pursed tightly. They were completely at a loss as to how to comfort such children.

Ye Zhi was also in the carriage. At this moment, she didn’t know what to do either and could only anxiously follow suit.

Once back at Prince Yi’s Mansion, An Jing and Xiao Changyi took the four children to the main bedroom in the main courtyard.

The four children still looked terrified, and even though they could no longer shed tears, they continued to cry, their little bodies still convulsing. An Jing consoled the children while tears were falling from her eyes.

Xiao Changyi consoled them too. He tried very hard.

Normally Xiao Changyi didn’t soothe children very often, as they usually were quite receptive to whatever he did, but today, Xiao Changyi had tried all the ways he knew to comfort a child, and yet they remained inconsolable.

”Jing’er, Star, Qinger, Yun Er, don’t scare Mommy, please, don’t scare Mommy...” watching the four children convulsing as if they could die at any moment, An Jing was both heartbroken and frightened. Her tears fell even more fiercely.

Unable to soothe the children, Xiao Changyi could only do the same as An Jing, holding the children tightly and feeling their convulsions.

Their tiny bodies convulsed non-stop in their arms, causing An Jing and Xiao Changyi both to feel as if their hearts were being twisted by knives.

In the end, it was only when the children cried themselves to exhaustion that they fell asleep, which finally brought some relief to An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

But even though the children had fallen asleep, they didn’t know if it was from nightmares or not yet recovering from the shock, but their little bodies still sporadically twitched.
