I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies - Chapter 228

228 Looking For The Child

Although Mo Ruyue had only been to the small courtyard where Du Zhongheng lived once, the route was still firmly engraved in her mind. It was just that when she went to find it, she found that the small courtyard was also guarded by an iron general.

“Miss, are you here to see Mr. Du?”

A neighbor heard a knock on the door and came out to talk to Mo Ruyue when he saw her.

“Yes, do you know where he went?”

!!
Mo Ruyue saw that it was an old man and asked very politely.

“I heard that he’s a teacher for some family. He goes there every day and won’t come back until evening.”

The old man replied. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “When we saw that he didn’t carry his daily cloth bag when he went out today, we didn’t know if he had other plans. we didn’t dare to ask. Even if we asked, he wouldn’t say anything. It would be awkward. ”

The old man’s long-winded speech was nothing more than some things about the neighborhood, but it was of no use to Mo Ruyue. Only the first sentence reminded her that Du Zhongheng did not carry his book bag when he left today.

The backpack was full of books that Du Zhongheng used to prepare for lessons. Sometimes, there were also articles that his babies handed in for him to review. there were also papers that he randomly picked and wrote by hand.

It could be said that as long as he went to Mo Ruyue’s house for lessons, the book bag would never leave his body. If he didn’t carry the book bag when he left home today, did that mean that he didn’t intend to go to class?

Mo Ruyue quickly interrupted the old neighbor’s nagging and left after saying goodbye.

This time, she didn’t continue to stay in the city. If the babies really entered the city, it was impossible for them to not go to the Huichun Hall and wander around in other places. So, she had another way to find them, but she had to return to Qin Village first.

Mo Ruyue quickly rode back to the Qin Village. Then, he went home to take Da Bao’s clothes and went straight to the back mountain to blow the finger bone whistle that he always carried with him.

In such a critical moment, he could only summon the wolf pack to help and let their extraordinary sense of smell come in handy.

Soon, a pack of giant wolves appeared. This time, it was the black wolf king who led the pack. Its body was strong and agile, and its eyes were full of spirit. It had clearly recovered completely.

“Black Wolf King, I need your help now. Help me find my children. ”

Mo Ruyue said as she handed Da Bao’s clothes over.

Two giant wolves walked out of the wolf pack and sniffed Da Bao’s clothes. Then, they turned to look north. Apparently, they had found something.

“Just take me there, Black Wolf King, you guys should go back to the valley of treasures. Be careful and hide your tracks.”

Mo Ruyue waved at the black wolf king and watched as it turned back three times with each step and disappeared into the forest with the rest of the giant wolves. Only then did she pat her brown horse and let it go home on its own. She followed behind the giant wolf and galloped into the deep mountains.

After following the giant wolves for a while, Mo Ruyue could determine where they would take her from the direction. an idea suddenly appeared in her mind, making her have a faint guess.

As the trees in front of them became sparser, Mo Ruyue gradually confirmed that his previous idea was correct.

Another two miles ahead was the neighboring village, which was also the place where the babies would go to the private school in the future.

Mo Ruyue stopped and also summoned the two giant wolves that were running in front of him.

“Alright, the human territory is right in front of us. If you’re discovered, it’ll cause panic. Hurry up and go back. Thank you. ”

As she spoke, she gently stroked the two giant wolves. They also gently licked the back of Mo Ruyue’s hand in a friendly manner. Then they ran back the way they came and quickly disappeared.

Mo Ruyue ran towards the neighboring village. A distance of two li was only a few minutes ‘walk for her.

Before she even reached the village entrance, she could already see the familiar black horse and carriage, and the man leaning on the carriage was even more familiar.

“Mr. Du!”

Mo Ruyue couldn’t help but shout. She increased her speed and ran to the carriage in the blink of an eye.

“Lady Qin, why did you come?”

The man waiting by the carriage was Du Zhongheng. He was also very surprised to see mo Ruhan.

“Mr. Du, aren’t Da Bao and the others with you? And Uncle Liu and his wife, are they here too?”

When Mo Ruyue saw Du Zhongheng and her own carriage, she was already sure that they were together. It was just that she didn’t see anyone else other than Du Zhongheng, so he asked.

“Lady Qin, you must have been too busy recently, that’s why you forgot about this matter. Today is the day the babies come to the private school to take the exam.”

After Du Zhongheng finished speaking, Mo Ruyue revealed an expression of realization.

So this was the reason!

She had thought that it was still early, but she did not expect it to be today!

“Lady Qin, could it be that you went back to Qin Village first and found that there was no one there, so you went to look for us?”

Du Zhongheng’s brain worked very quickly. Seeing Mo Ruyue’s expression, he thought for a while and guessed it.

“Yes, I had something to do at the last minute and went back to the village. I found out that the babies were not at home, and Aunt Liu, who lives next door, was not there either. I thought that they might have gone to the county town, but when I returned to the county town, I found that they were still not there. That’s why I thought that they might be here.”

Mo Ruyue naturally couldn’t say that she had been brought here by the giant wolf, so she simply found an excuse.

“Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have left you a note to explain the situation. It’s just that none of us knew you would suddenly come back. We thought that it would only be one day, so we wondered if this was a coincidence.”

Du Zhongheng said in annoyance.

Although Mo Ruyue didn’t go into detail about the process of her search for the babies, he could guess that it definitely wouldn’t be as light as what she was saying now.

“You guys didn’t expect me to come back early either. I can only say that it’s too much of a coincidence.”

Mo Ruyue couldn’t blame anyone. After all, she had forgotten such an important thing and suddenly brought Qin Qingyuan back to the village.

At the end of the day, whether it was Aunt Liu and her husband or Du Zhongheng, they were all helping her babies. There was nothing wrong with that.

“Mr. Du, are you waiting outside because you are afraid of affecting the babies?”

After Mo Ruyue knew that the babies were safe, her heart was completely at ease. It was only at this time that she had time to think about other things.

Du Zhongheng, as the children’s teacher, should be in the private school at this time, but he only stood at the village entrance and looked at the carriage. He was clearly afraid that his identity would affect the children.

“Lady Qin, I know that you and the babies don’t have the intention to take the imperial examination for official career in the future, but they still have to receive formal education, so they must attend the private school.”

“If I were to appear, that private school teacher would probably immediately reject the babies. Wouldn’t that mean that all their hard work during this period of time would be in vain? It’s a good thing that Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are here. I can rest assured with them accompanying me.”

As expected, Du Zhongheng thought this way. He had never regretted his words and actions before, but now that he could not accompany his babies to take the exam, he could not help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart.
