The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 353: Baby Girl

A pointed skull, red to black, and wrinkled skin, with a thick layer of creamy yellow scab sticking to the top of the head but not a few hairs visible. Instead, there was a thin layer of black hair growing on the pointed ears.

"Ami... Amitābha!"

Seeing the appearance of the newborn, Miaoyu widened her beautiful eyes and was so surprised that she almost mispronounced her Buddhist name.

After a while, she turned her head stiffly and said expectantly, "This child... This child was born; it seems like it's a bit... different from others, right?”

“Different from others?”

Sun Shaozong sneered disdainfully and said, "Have you ever seen any newborn babies?”

Without waiting for Miaoyu to reply, he explained, "A baby who is not yet fully born and has been soaked in amniotic fluid for a long time will have some wrinkles on their skin. This color is also due to suffocation during childbirth, and it will gradually return to normal in a few days.”

“But... But the black hair on her ears...”

“Have you never heard of the words ”fetal hair has not receded?” Some children may have fetal hair at birth, and when time goes, it will fall off on its own.”

“So... What about the white one on her head?”

“That's a layer of scab. After washing her head a few times, it will clean it up.”

“But her head is... soft…”

“Many children are soft at birth and almost hard at the age of one.”

After answering many of Miaoyu's questions in a row, Sun Shaozong sneered, "Why, do you still want to return the child now?”

“Of course not!”

Miaoyu immediately denied it, "I never meant that!”

“So why are you delaying?”

Sun Shaozong raised his eyebrows and instructed the woman holding the baby girl to say, "Give this child to Abbess Miaoyu. What will happen to her in the future is not related to the Central Judicial Office.”

“This... This…”

Seeing the woman coming forward and offering the ugly baby with an arch in her hand, a foul and bloody aura rushed toward her face. It was with great determination that Miaoyu didn’t hide her face and fled.

But if they want her to hold on to this baby girl...

Miaoyu actually couldn't muster up the courage.

It must have been a lifting posture that made the baby girl feel a bit uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes and struggled, and her little mouth murmured with every movement.

“She is…”

“She’s probably hungry.”

Sun Shaozong answered casually, but suddenly furrowed his brow and questioned, "Wait! Have you even hired a wet nurse for her?”

“Wet... Wet nurse?”

Miaoyu's face was full of confusion.

“What? You've been struggling with your thoughts for a long time, and you haven’t prepared anything for her?”

Sun Shaozong was completely speechless. This woman has been thinking about adopting a child all day, but she has never thought about how to raise her child?

“Who said I didn’t?

Miaoyu exclaimed, "I have silently written several scriptures for her, which can bless her from illness and disaster in the future. I have also prepared futons, prayer beads, and wooden fish for children…”

In Sun Shaozong's gaze, as if she were mentally disabled, Miaoyu's voice became softer and softer, until she finally lowered her head in a hesitant tone.

She was foolish to learn Buddhism!

Sun Shaozong was too lazy to teach her another lesson, sighed, and then asked, "Do you have any money?”

Miaoyu shook her head, but immediately took off a bracelet from her hand and muttered, "This bracelet should still be worth several taels of silver.”

“Several taels?”

Sun Shaozong looked at the quality of the bracelet and said speechlessly, "I'm afraid you may not be able to sell it in a few dozen taels. Forget it, I'll give you some first.”

As he spoke, he took more than two taels of silver from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the midwife, who was holding the child. He ordered, "Please work hard and take this child to Rongguo Mansion.”

Then he explained to Miaoyu, "After going back, hurry up and ask someone to find a wet nurse. If you can't find any ready ones, you can find some experienced women and those who can get some cow's milk or goat's milk to make do with first.”

Seeing Miaoyu nodding to his answers one by one, he couldn't help but sigh again and say, "You said you wanted to raise the child, but you still have to rely on Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, you still have some weight in this family, and the host family probably doesn't mind helping you raise more children.”

Miaoyu was said to be ashamed and suddenly bit her silver teeth. She turned around and hugged the baby girl in her arms, protesting, "Since I said I wanted to raise her, I wouldn't fake it... Ah…”

At the end of the sentence, she suddenly let go and screamed.

It turned out that, although she claimed to be a poor nun, her chest was indeed not poor. The baby girl, following her nature, rubbed against her and held her in one mouthful, desperately sucking on it. Although she was separated from her clothes, she also scared Miaoyu.

So her hands trembled, and the baby girl fell straight to the ground!

“Be careful!”

Sun Shaozong saw it from behind but didn't have time to push away Miaoyu. With a brisk step, he leaned forward and hugged the baby with both hands, firmly catching it while also touching Miaoyu's buttocks!

Ah~

Miaoyu's panicked soul also flew away. Subconsciously, she waited to wriggle and struggle, but was fiercely scolded by Sun Shaozong, "Be honest! Are you really planning to kill her, so you won't have any trouble in the future?”

“I didn’t mean it.”

Miaoyu didn't dare to struggle anymore, but her shyness didn't diminish in the slightest, especially as her buttocks were tightly wrapped in his sturdy arms, and the scorching breath of Sun Shaozong's was all over her neck, which made her almost wish she could find a crack in the ground right away.

In fact, at this moment, Sun Shaozong could have called for the midwife to come over and help take the child over first.

But he didn't have such an intention. Instead, he held the child and measured his arms from her buttocks to her chest, then solemnly ordered, "Why are you still staring? Hurry up and hold the child steady!”

Although Miaoyu couldn't help but feel ashamed, she obediently reached out to pick up the child. Unexpectedly, at this very moment, someone suddenly roared angrily, "Sun Shaozong! In broad daylight, are you crazy? Hurry up and let go of Miaoyu!?”

It turned out that Wei Ruolan had just heard about Miaoyu going to the house arrest center again, so he couldn't help but come over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman who was pure in his heart was hugged by Sun Shaozong from behind, making a scene of indecency from buttocks to chest!

Wei Ruolan was so angry that he couldn't help but let out a roar.

Who knew that with this roar, before Sun Shaozong could speak, Miaoyu panicked and exclaimed, "Don't let go, don't let go! I'm not ready yet.”

Miaoyu was naturally afraid that the baby girl would fall if she missed again.

But what child did Wei Ruolan see from behind?

Upon hearing this, he felt as if he had been hit by a heavy stick and staggered back a few steps, pointing to the two of them and trembling, "You... You..."

With a heavy stomp, he turned his head and ran out of the house arrest center.

Only Sun Shaozong, Miaoyu, and the child were left wrapped together like sandwiches.
