Chapter 1010

A flash of horror crossed the woman's mind, and she suddenly looked toward the luxurious carriage not far away.

Her tears suddenly gushed out.

"Guangguang, it turns out your life was not meant to end!"

"It is truly a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes that this lord would personally lay out a plan for you; heaven has finally shown mercy to this mother and son once!"

The woman was inexplicably moved, and clutching the infant in the swaddling clothes, she knelt and kowtowed frantically toward the carriage where Gao Yang was.

Gao Yang lowered the carriage curtain and spoke to Wu Guang.

"Consider her fated to be part of this scheme. Let's go!"

"We have our own proper business to attend to!"

"..."

Changning Street.

This is the main street of the entire Suiyang City, usually extremely bustling, and that is even more so now that the Suiyang political inquiry has just concluded and a large number of commoners are still gathered within the city.

People coming and going, merchants gathered together, it was extremely lively.

The entire Changning Street had quite a prosperous appearance.

But at the intersection of Changning Street and another street, some sharp-eyed commoners were surprised to discover an additional middle-aged woman holding an infant in swaddling clothes.

The autumn wind whistled, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

Wu Shi wore a plain white long robe that had been washed until it was white and had several holes; it was blown by the wind until it flapped loudly, and the cold wind was like a needle piercing the bone, as if it wanted to bore into her very bones.

Cold!

A bone-piercing cold!

Wu Shi's body could not help but shiver, her hands stiff.

But thinking of Lv Luo, thinking of Chen Sheng, and of Gao Yang, who had not appeared but for whom she felt endless gratitude, a warm current flashed through her heart.

At this moment, the cold wind was not to be feared, nor were tigers and leopards; instead, she felt her body burning hot—that was the fire of hope burning fiercely.

She raised her head, looked at the commoners coming and going on Changning Street, and with almost no hesitation, she clutched the infant in the swaddling clothes and knelt straight down.

Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong!

As long as she could save her child, never mind so-called face; even if it were her own life, what of it?

It was almost instantaneous.

The surrounding commoners all looked at Wu Shi with stunned expressions.

Wu Shi gritted her teeth and stood up on her own.

The commoners had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the middle-aged woman's legs had just gone weak for a moment and were preparing to look away, but immediately after, they saw Wu Shi take a step forward and then kneel down again as her legs went weak.

A middle-aged man, dressed plainly but with a very warm heart, stepped forward repeatedly, wanting to help Wu Shi up.

"Big sister, what are you doing?"

"Why must you kneel every step you take? Hurry up and get up; the ground is cold, don't freeze yourself."

As he spoke, he wanted to forcibly help Wu Shi up, and the surrounding commoners also gathered around one after another.

In an instant, the commoners gathered, and pair after pair of eyes were all focused on Wu Shi.

But Wu Shi knelt on the ground, shaking her head desperately, "This big brother, please move aside, I beg you, I cannot get up."

The man was stunned and continued to ask, "Big sister, why is that?"

Wu Shi's eyes were full of desolation; looking at the infant in the swaddling clothes, she wept and said, "My child has contracted a strange illness and his life is hanging by a thread."

"But he is still so small; he should have had a bright future and a beautiful life. His life's journey is still long, and I must save him!"

"I met a very wealthy young master from a noble family. He is very rich, and he said that as long as I walk from the head of Changning Street, kneeling every step of the way, until I reach the east of Suiyang City, he will find the best physician for my child and give me two hundred taels of silver as medical expenses!"
