Chapter 114: What is going on?

The Xiao family in the capital.

Miao Yiqiu had been hesitating at the door of the study for quite a while. She knew she shouldn't come to disturb him at this time, but her daughter had gotten into trouble. Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door: "Yude."

Xiao Yude in the study frowned slightly, his expression showing slight displeasure. He carefully put away the photo in his hand before getting up to open the door: "What is it?"

Miao Yiqiu said with an anxious face: "Little Duo’er has had an accident."

Xiao Yude’s brows furrowed: "What’s going on?"

"I don't know the specifics either. It was the child Yiming who called. He only said that Nianchun had an argument with her eldest sister-in-law and then, like a madwoman, grabbed Little Duo’er and left the house. They must have gone to the hospital."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Saying this, he headed downstairs.

Miao Yiqiu followed behind him, looking worried: "Should we call Changjiang?"

Xiao Yude thought that was reasonable: "Fine. Also call Kunming. That child is meticulous in his work; with him there, if anything happens, it might save us some worry."

While Xiao Yude went to call for a car, Miao Yiqiu had an extra thought and also called their eldest grandson, Xiao Wancheng: "Wancheng, your aunt has had an accident. Your grandfather and I are going over. If you have time, come along as well."

Xiao Wancheng originally didn't want to deal with his little aunt’s affairs, but hearing that his grandfather was also going: "Fine, I’ll go once I’m done with my work."

"By the way, if you’re fast, don't rush to the Qiu family first. Your aunt should still be at the staff hospital."

"Understood."

Thinking of the matter his grandfather had asked him to investigate, he sighed in his heart, quickly finished the work at hand, and then got up to walk out.

As soon as Xiao Wancheng arrived at the steel mill’s staff hospital, he heard his little aunt’s heart-wrenching cries: "Duo’er, Mom’s Duo’er, don't scare Mom."

Afterward, he heard his grandmother’s voice, filled with tears, trying to persuade her: "Nianchun, let go quickly."

Then he heard his grandfather shout: "Changjiang, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you go help?"

Xiao Wancheng felt the severity of the situation and ran upstairs quickly. He saw a group of people trying to snatch the swaddling clothes from his little aunt’s hands. He stepped forward a few paces: "Grandfather, what is going on?"

Old Master Xiao saw his eldest grandson had arrived: "Duo’er is gone. Your little aunt can't accept it and is holding onto the child for dear life. Go and make her quiet down."

Xiao Wancheng naturally knew what his grandfather meant. He squeezed forward and gave his little aunt a chop to the neck from behind. Instantly, Xiao Nianchun’s body went limp.

Xiao Changjiang also took the child from his sister’s arms. Upon seeing the child’s complexion, even a grown man felt his eyes redden.

A few days ago, when the child was a month old, he had gone to see her. He hadn't expected that after only so many days, they would be separated by life and death. He looked up and glared at his brother-in-law, whose eyes were bloodshot: "Qiu Jinzhou, you had better give me a reasonable explanation."

At this moment, Qiu Yiming squeezed in from behind the crowd: "Uncle, little sister saw it. It was the eldest aunt who put a quilt over little sister’s face."

Once these words were out, everyone present was in an uproar: "Is that true?"

"That’s too vicious!"

"What kind of deep hatred must one have to lay hands on a child who just turned a month old?"

"Isn't the eldest aunt the child mentioned, Wu Tianxiang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family?"

"Which Qiu family?"

"The one from the third workshop, Qiu Laoshi’s family. A while ago, his younger daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl, and not long after, the eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson. The two sisters-in-law probably gave birth less than a month apart."

"Then what is going on now?"

"Make way, make way, the security department is here."
