Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1274 - 1276: That Child’s Feet Are Completely Normal

When talking about those people, Chu Lian deliberately emphasized his tone, revealing his inner helplessness and anger.

Wang Xiangxiang could tell that Chu Lian meant his sister was set up by the Empress, abandoned by the Emperor, and possibly ostracized by the women of the harem.

She could see how much Chu Lian’s heart ached for his sister.

Chu Lian became slightly agitated but then steadied his emotions and continued, "At first, they just sent people to look for the Empress’s men, hoping to find the child through them. But when the Empress’s people couldn’t be found, they had no choice but to announce to the world, wanting to find the child."

At this, a trace of coldness appeared in Chu Lian’s eyes. He felt the Emperor was too ruthless, willing to wipe out his own flesh and blood just to ensure he’s not cursed by the child.

"Husband, you haven’t found the child yet?"

Chu Lian shook his head; he had lingered in Beijing for so long, never finding the child. Even after returning, he’d been searching secretly, but to no avail. Such a small child, if all this was a show orchestrated by the Empress to frame his sister, then those people might have already disposed of the child under the Empress’s orders. He didn’t believe the Empress would spare the child’s life.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed, and Wang Xiangxiang noticed Chu Lian’s disappointment. She quickly started to comfort him, "Husband, don’t worry, since none of you have found the child, it means there’s still hope. Maybe the child will have good fortune in adversity."

"Mm." Though Chu Lian suspected, he never wanted to believe it was true, nor did he ever give up searching.

Talking about the child, Wang Xiangxiang asked, "Husband, how big is the child now?"

"About the same age as Little Liufu, four months old."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat, as if she had thought of something. She said, "Husband, there is something I haven’t told you."

"What is it?"

"Actually, Little Liufu was picked up by Xiaoxiao on the road, not adopted from relatives. We said so because we were afraid of gossip. Do you think he might be the one?" Wang Xiangxiang said, standing up to confirm, and pulled Chu Lian, "Let’s go to Yang Family Village now to check the child’s foot."

Although Wang Xiangxiang had cared for Little Liufu before, she never paid attention to the child’s feet, unaware that Little Liufu had six toes.

But she couldn’t move Chu Lian and was pressed back onto the chair by him.

He only said, "No need, I’ve already checked a few days ago, the child’s foot is normal."

He had considered, if that were the case, it would be wonderful, but he had confirmed otherwise.

Because he wanted to find the child so much, Chu Lian would check any child of similar age, whether boy or girl, and naturally, Little Liufu wasn’t overlooked.

Actually, he had already had an encounter with Little Liufu once, but it was the time when Wang Xiangxiang was going to marry Han Yongsheng, his heart was on Wang Xiangxiang and missed the chance to check Little Liufu’s toes. Now looking again, Little Liufu’s foot is normal.

Upon hearing Chu Lian had confirmed, Wang Xiangxiang felt a bit disappointed but still persuaded Chu Lian, "Don’t be discouraged, since not finding means there’s hope."

"Mm."
