Su Li only wanted to roll her eyes at them. If they wanted to become her disciples, she wouldn’t accept them. Ordinary people couldn’t become her disciples.

Since Zeng Qing’s men were already here, there was no need for her to

continue guarding them. She would leave the rest to them, but she had to keep these culprits.

Su Li said, “Don’t send these people to the government. When the time comes, just find a reason to fool the people from the government. Take them away. I still have a use for them!”

She had yet to give them a taste of her medicine. It was too easy for them if they were handed over to the authorities. She wanted them to live in pain every day.

Zeng Qing’s people were not surprised by Su Li’s words. They thought that she wanted to take revenge on these people. After all, they had snatched Su Li’s child away. This could be considered an irreconcilable feud.

Su Li held He Qingmu’s hand and was about to walk out.

Zeng Qing’s subordinate hurriedly said to Su Li, “Madam Su, wait a moment.

I’ve already gotten someone to send a carriage over. You guys can take the carriage later. There should be many people watching outside.”

They didn’t avoid the villagers when they came just now, so everyone must be watching outside.

Su Li nodded and said, “Thank you.”

He Qingmu was already in shock. Moreover, with such a huge commotion just now, there must be a lot of people in the village waiting outside to gossip. They couldn’t wait to find out what was going on, so it was better to take a carriage back. This way, He Qingmu’s harm would be reduced and he wouldn’t have to worry about those people.

Soon, the carriage arrived. Su Li brought He Qingmu into the carriage. When the children saw that Su Li and He Qingmu were about to leave, they started sobbing reluctantly.

They were only familiar with Su Li and He Qingmu. Now that they had left on their own, they were left alone. This made them feel very insecure.

He Qingmu ran over and comforted them softly, “Don’t cry. These uncles will send you home soon. Soon, you’ll be able to see your parents.”

“Brother, don’t go. Those people look so fierce. They must eat children.”

The attendants were speechless.

They didn’t look that scary!

And they don’t eat children.

He Qingmu said, “Although they look like this, it doesn’t affect their spiritual beauty. They will definitely protect you and send you home.”

As if to verify the truth of his words, He Qingmu turned his head and asked, “Am I right?”

The attendant nodded helplessly and cooperated. “Yes, we are good people.”

After He Qingmu comforted them, the cries in the crowd gradually became softer.

Seeing that it was about time, and that she was still concerned about Su Ze’s body, Su Li said to He Qingmu, “Leave this place to them. Let’s go!”

He Qingmu ran to Su Li’s side and waved goodbye to his friends.

Not far away, many people were gathered. Everyone was discussing what had happened in this house. No one wanted to miss such a big matter. If this matter was investigated clearly, it would be enough for them to talk about it for an entire year.

Fortunately, the carriage was parked at the entrance of the house. As soon as she left, Su Li got into the carriage. This way, she avoided the awkward moment. She didn’t want to be surrounded like a monkey.

There were also some pastries prepared in the carriage. They must have been specially prepared for them.

However, she wasn’t hungry yet. Su Li checked He Qingmu’s body in the car.

She noticed that there was a ligature mark on He Qingmu’s wrist. It was probably caused by the previous ligature. A child’s skin was very tender to begin with, so the ligature mark was especially obvious on He Qingmu’s hand. Moreover, the purple mark was especially eye-catching. It constantly reminded her of the child’s suffering.

“Does it hurt?” Su Li asked.

When He Qingmu saw Su Li’s worried gaze, he shook his head and said,

“Mother, don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt at all!”

This pain was nothing. As long as he could return to this warm embrace, he did not feel any pain at all.

Su Li stroked his head lovingly and took out the disinfectant. She carefully disinfected He Qingmu and blew on him as she disinfected him.

He Qingmu looked at the gentle Su Li and felt as if his heart was filled with something. Such a mother was really good. She knew how to speak to them gently. She had always tolerated their mischievousness and even encouraged and comforted them when they were injured.

“Mother, you’re the best!” He Qingmu said.

When Su Li heard his words, she chuckled. “Hasn’t Mother always been so good?!”

He Qingmu thought that his mother would not have been so gentle in the past. She would beat them up from time to time.

He said, “I like the current you. When I grow up, I’ll buy the best jewelry for Mother and give you a lot of gold so that you don’t have to worry for the rest of your life.”

When Su Li heard the big promises He Qingmu was giving, she almost laughed out loud again. This child was really promising. He knew how to make such big promises at such a young age. However, it was useless even if he said so. She would not fall for this.

Su Li tapped his forehead dotingly. “You’re really promising. You even know how to make big promises to me!”

He Qingmu grinned and said, “Mother, I’m also serious. In the future, I will work hard to earn money to be filial to you!”

Su Li smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll wait to enjoy myself. You have to work hard!”

She then gave He Qingmu a thorough examination. Fortunately, there were no other wounds on his body. These people only wanted to sell their children. If they mistreated them, they would not fetch a good price, so they did not mistreat them.

On the other side.

Su Ze lay on the bed anxiously. He wished he could get up and go look for He Qingmu.

Zeng Qing saw through his thoughts and said, “Just lie down obediently! You’ll only be a burden if you go out now. You won’t be able to do anything!”

Su Ze lay on the bed and felt a little dispirited. It was all his fault for not protecting the two children well. If he had been a little more powerful, those people would definitely not have snatched He Qingmu away.

At this moment, Su Ze felt extremely guilty and wished that he was the one who was taken away.

He Qingyao sat on the steps by the door and kept staring at the door.

When he woke up, he realized that He Qingmu had been snatched away by someone else, but he was saved by his uncle.

Su Ze hurriedly got up when he heard the noise outside.

“Is my sister back?”

Zeng Qing stopped Su Ze. “Lie here obediently and don’t move. Have you forgotten that you’re still injured? Do you want your sister to come back and see you half-dead?”

When Su Ze heard Zeng Qing’s words, he immediately became obedient.

When He Qingyao heard the voice, he immediately stood up. He wanted to run out to check, but he was afraid that something else would happen. What happened today had really frightened him. Hence, he stood where he was and looked out the door nervously..
