Demon Hairpin II: My wayward Ex-wife

Chapter 32

Fu Yanlin saw Dou Dou shake her head and his
face quickly darkened as he coldly stared at the
women. The woman, on the other hand, never
would have imagined that the little young lady
would not recognise her and she froze on the spot.
"Hmph! Where did this woman come from, even
daring to lie that you are this girl's aunt!" Zhuang
Kang shouted.
The woman hurriedly said, "I am not lying, she
really is my family's girl. Dou Dou, I am Aunt Liu.
Tell them quickly. Your mother is anxiously looking
for you!"
When Dou Dou heard that her mum was looking
for her, she hesitated.
"Don't go. You mum will come to find you in a little
while."
Dou Dou listened and once again shrank into her
daddy's arms, shaking her head at Aunt Liu. This
made Aunt Liu very anxious. She still wanted to
persuade Dou Dou but Fu Yanlin opened his mouth
coldly.
"If you want to pick up this child, tell the child's
mother to come in person."

The woman raised her head and met the man's
terrifying eyes. She subconsciously began to
tremble. These people no longer trusted her and
had even placed their hands on the hilt of their
swords. They exuded a threatening aura, seeming
to warn her that if she kept talking, they would no
longer be polite.
Aunt Liu had no choice, she could only hurriedly
leave. She quickly disappeared into the crowd and
returned to the eldest young lady to plead for
mercy. She was sent by the eldest young lady to get
Dou Dou back, but Dou Dou unexpectedly didn't
want to recognise her. This was far from what
anyone expected.
Mu Huanqing was also extremely surprised. She
deliberately sent Aunt Liu out because only Nanny
Ji and Aunt Liu would take turns to bring up her
daughter. Since Nanny Ji came from the Marquis
house, she would be recognised so she had Aunt
Liu go. She didn't think that Dou Dou would refuse.
This was impossible!
Mu Huanqing's face turned serious and she
clenched her fists. Usually, Dou Dou was the most
well-behaved. She never approached strangers
casually. How could she leave Aunt Liu and stick to
Fu Yanlin? There must be a problem somewhere. Is
it possible.... that she's being forced?

Mu Huanging stared at Fu Yanlin on his high
horse. Since he wanted the girl's mother to pick her
up, then she would fulfil his wishes and go
personally.
Fu Yanlin took Dou Dou around most of the market
but didn't encounter Dou Dou's mother. He
thought that the woman really had an issue, but
since she called out Dou Dou's nickname, she must
have really recognised her.
He pondered for a while and ordered,
"Meng Huai
go find the county magistrate and ask him to find
out who Dou Dou's mother and father are."
A pretty and well-behaved child like Dou Dou must
have come from a good family. Although her
clothes were simple, the fabric was excellent
quality.
"Yes, my lord." Meng Huai accepted the order and
quickly rode off to find the local county magistrate.
No long after Meng Huai rode away, Fu Yanlin's
horse had already reached the horse market.
"Horse, horse." Dou Dou stood up happily,
pointing at the large group of horses.
Fu Yanlin also smiled. "Dou Dou likes horses?"
"Dou Dou likes. Mummy also likes. Dou Dou's
house has lots of horses.

"Oh?" Fu Yanlin raised his eyebrows and was about
to open his mouth and ask but he suddenly spotted
a family figure in the horse market.
A lady was riding on a black horse. Although her
face was covered, he could recognise her figure. It
was the female thief who conspired against him
and snatched that horse. And the black horse she
was riding on was exactly that black colt.
The female thief happened to see him too and
immediately pulled the rein, turning her horse
away.
"Hmph, want to run?" Fu Yanlin became angry and
shouted, "Yuan Ji, take this!" He quickly handed
the child to his subordinates, pulled on his reins
and immediately gave chase.
There were lots of people in the horse market, and
there were even more horses. When the eyes were
dazzled, the female thief and the horse disappeared
until the group of horses. Fu Yanlin stared at the
horses closely. He knew that the cunning woman
was definitely hiding with the group but there were
also a lot of black horses mixed within the group.
Trying to search through the group of dark colour
horses really confused a person's eyes.
Fu Yanlin searched for any suspicious figures as far
as his eye could see, but could not find any.
Instead, he heard Zhuang Kang shouting from
behind. "My lord!'
