Chapter 327 Zijuan takes the child to the abandoned baby tower
Xiu'er saw Xiangyun rushing towards her with the child in her arms. She was startled and subconsciously stepped back, hiding behind Master Yu.
However, how could Xiangyun let her go so easily?
Ever since her child died, her heart seemed to have died with him. But deep down, she always felt that the child's sudden death must be inextricably linked to Xiu'er and Madam Yu.
Thinking of this, Xiangyun became furious. She reached out and dragged Xiu'er out from behind Master Yu.
She glared at Xiu'er fiercely and shouted at the top of her voice:
"Tell me quickly! Was my brother killed by you?"
When Xiu'er saw Xiangyun's fiery eyes and saw that Master Yu ignored her and had no intention of protecting her, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
But this matter is of no trivial importance. She must grit her teeth and refuse to admit it no matter what. After all, she still has to rely on Madam Yu to survive.
Xiu'er hurriedly calmed herself down. She first slowly tried to break free from Xiangyun's hands, and then moved to Xiangyun's side.
She stretched out her fingers and gently stroked her brother's cold little face, pretending to be heartbroken and crying hypocritically:
"Oh, my poor child! You are so young, and you have to go to such a gloomy and cold place all alone..."
After hearing what Xiu'er said, Xiangyun woke up from her anger as if from a dream.
But when she realized that her brother had really left, she could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.
When Zijuan and Xueyan heard the crying, they hurried to Xiangyun's side.
The two of them couldn't help but feel sad and cried bitterly with Xiangyun. For a moment, the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and despair.
Taking advantage of the chaos, she quickly turned and rushed towards the door. Her steps were hurried, almost jogging, fearing that if she slowed down even a little, she would be caught up by the people behind her.
On the other side, Master Yu gently stroked the child's tender and lifeless little hand.
Master Yu cried and said, "We are unlucky. We can't keep the child!"
At this time, Xiangyun was like a mother animal protecting her calf, holding the child tightly in her arms, as if this could give the child some warmth and help him wake up again.
However, Mr. Yu knew that the child was beyond saving and had already died.
Master Yu held back his tears, reached out his hand and gently stroked Xiangyun's trembling shoulders, and said in a slightly choked voice:
"Yun'er, let him go peacefully and rest in peace soon..."
After saying this, Master Yu ordered his servants to take the child to a nearby abandoned baby tower.
At this time, Xiangyun finally woke up completely, and she had to accept the cruel reality - the child really left her forever!
She lowered her head and stared at the little one in her arms who was sleeping quietly with his eyes closed. No matter how hard she shouted the child's name, the child remained motionless and would never respond to her call again.
When Xiangyun heard that Master Yu actually ordered his servants to abandon the child in the abandoned baby tower, she stood there in shock as if struck by lightning.
Then, without hesitation, she hugged the child in her arms and rushed out the door.
She ran and said, "No, I don't want those stray dogs and cats to eat my children!
I don’t want the flesh and blood I carried for ten months to be gone just like that!”
Her arms locked the boy's small body tightly like an iron clamp.
Although the child's body had already become stiff, Xiangyun did not dare to relax at all.
It seemed that if she relaxed even a little, others would take the opportunity to snatch this poor little life away and put it in the baby tower.
Mr. Yu looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Tears streamed down his wrinkled face. He cried and said to Xiangyun in a trembling voice:
"Yun'er, you are still so young, we will definitely have more children in the future!
As long as you can follow me peacefully and steadily like before, I will definitely treat you as well as before!"
However, when he saw Xiangyun's almost crazy look at this moment, his heart ached again.
He was really worried that the child's sudden death would trigger Xiangyun's previous mental disorder symptoms again.
In desperation, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to send his brother's body to the abandoned baby tower for proper disposal no matter what.
But Xiangyun held the child tightly and refused to let go, and no one could take the child away.
Zijuan and Xueyan also found it difficult to accept the fact that their brother had left them like this, but compared to losing their child, they felt more distressed about Xiangyun's situation at the moment.
After looking at each other, the two nodded in unison to express their agreement with Master Yu's approach.
At this moment, Xiangyun burst into tears again, and she shouted loudly:
"Oh my God, was it because I didn't do well enough that my brother was taken away?
God, if you want to take me in, take me in!"
Master Yu frowned and thought to himself, "If this continues, Yun'er will go crazy!
We must come up with a foolproof plan and take this child away quickly."
So he glanced at Zijuan helplessly.
Zijuan immediately understood what Master Yu meant.
She exchanged glances with Xueyan beside her, and the two nodded in unison.
Then, Zijuan and Xueyan walked up to Xiangyun and said to her carefully:
"Girl, let's take our boy over to wash up and change him into warmer clothes."
Unexpectedly, Xiangyun was in so much pain at this moment that she seemed to have lost her soul, with a blank look in her eyes.
She slowly and mechanically handed the child in her arms to Zijuan. Then, as if her spinal cord had been forcibly removed, she stood there blankly, her mouth tightly shut, not uttering a word.
Zijuan hugged her brother's soft and petite body with pity in her heart.
She and Xueyan walked into the inner room together and gently placed the child on the bed. After washing, Zijuan dug out the bright red brocade cotton jacket and trousers she was going to wear for the New Year from the wardrobe and gently put them on the child.
Then, she carefully wrapped him back in the warm swaddling clothes.
While Zijuan was changing her clothes, tears flowed uncontrollably.
But the crying still interrupted her rhythm from time to time, making her almost breathless. Because for Zijuan, this little life was the first time she had taken care of a child in her life.
After everything was packed up, Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other. Although they were reluctant to leave, they knew they could not hesitate.
So, the two of them picked up the tightly wrapped boy and walked towards the abandoned baby tower with heavy steps.
They had no choice but to ask Mr. Yu to coax Xiangyun away, and the two of them quickly left with their brother's body.
Zijuan felt that she had shed all the tears in her life today, but her child would never come back.
Their feet seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, but they had to endure the heartache and walk towards the abandoned baby tower.
