Capítulo 1974: Chapter 1127

Young Master Luo went to Madam Huang’s estate and found a wet nurse holding a child. This wet nurse was Madam Huang’s son’s wet nurse.

The child in the wet nurse’s arms was tender and fair-skinned, but it wasn’t his son, nor was it the rumored weak child born to Madam Huang.

He felt there was something suspicious about the situation. However, after searching the estate, he couldn’t find the weak child, nor his own child.

Young Master Luo had the estate’s people questioned one by one. They all provided the same information: Madam Huang and the wet nurse, along with some maids, had been here, and the child they held was this one.

Didn’t know why Madam Huang was so ruthless; her own child wasn’t being raised at home but at the estate.

Young Master Luo sensed something was amiss, but couldn’t locate Madam Huang’s son or his own son in the short time.

He could only have people keep an eye on those there, as they left for now.

Upon returning to the city, the carriage that accompanied them was also brought back.

The reason Young Master Luo withdrew from the estate so quickly was to find out the information another group was gathering from Madam Huang’s maternal family.

After all, he couldn’t find his son or the weak child at Madam Huang’s place.

Besides Scholar Huang’s hometown, there was only Madam Huang’s maternal family.

Those who advised Madam Huang the most were her maternal family.

Young Master Luo had an intuition that Madam Huang’s family had greatly contributed.

The child might have been hidden away by Madam Huang’s family.

So they returned to the city and started investigating.

As soon as Young Master Luo’s people left, another group came to Madam Huang’s estate.

This group was masked and clad in black, and upon seeing the child in the wet nurse’s arms, they snatched the child away.

The masked people took the child, and the wet nurse was terrified and didn’t dare make a sound.

The child was lost, and it happened inside the house.

At first, it was thought that Young Master Luo’s people had taken the child.

She didn’t dare to speak up, and the wet nurse went out to ask the other maids if anyone had entered.

The maids and the estate’s people all said Young Master Luo’s people had already left and no one else came in.

She was scared out of her wits.

“What should I do? What should I do?”

Nanny mumbled to herself.

The others didn’t notice anything wrong. One maid simply replied to the wet nurse’s words offhandedly.

“What’s happened to the wet nurse? Weren’t Young Master Luo’s people gone? Why not write a letter to Madam Huang? Neither our young master nor Young Master Luo took the child.”

“Write a letter, just write…”

Nanny and a maid were both sent by Madam Huang’s family and were arranged to stay at the estate.

Although they used to live at Madam Huang’s place, it was relatively simple. They ate well, but since coming to the estate, their workload increased and their living standards dropped.

The first meal they had here was coarse grain, without any meat.

In the city, they at least had meat, though not much, there was porridge and rice—fine grain nonetheless.

The black-clad masked people brought the child back to the Taoist Temple.

Upon looking at the child in their hands, they felt something wasn’t right.

After examining the child’s fate, despite being born into a wealthy family, this child’s fate didn’t give them the same feeling as when they saw Madam Luo’s belly. Absolutely had a dragon-phoenix appearance.

That child would directly bring good fortune to people.

They could absorb some luck from this child, but not as effectively as with the previous child.

The old Taoist and the others brought the child back but felt something off.

Couldn’t comprehend what went wrong.

“Keep him here.”

The old Taoist thought of a solution. This child was at least better than the previous sickly one, which would surely die if raised here.

This child at least had the appearance of great wealth and nobility, potentially supplementing their luck.

That jinxed one needed to be sent away or they’d be tainted by bad luck.

“Arrange for someone to send the weak child with the key back to the estate.”

“Yes”

Young Master Huang was sound asleep when a system’s voice appeared in his mind.

“Host, accept the task.”

“What task? Don’t you see I’m a child? How could I go out and do tasks?”

Young Master Huang didn’t care; he was only a month-old child, additionally underdeveloped, and hasn’t yet rid himself of the aura of bad luck.

After being suffocated today without food, he had just eaten a little bit and regained some energy, yet his body remained uncontrollable.

Even trying to open his eyes was difficult.

This body was truly useless.

Only felt the discomfort in his body.

Just when he was becoming impatient, he suddenly sensed the box he was sleeping in being lifted.

The gentle sway when lifted made Young Master Huang think perhaps it was people from the Taoist Temple returning.

Maybe being carried to a room to sleep at night?

Young Master Huang opened his eyes.

“Host, accept the task; absorb the luck from the person carrying the box. If failed, the previously given luck will be reclaimed.”

Young Master Huang was forced to accept the task; if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to gain more luck to improve his physical condition.

If he didn’t accept the task, he couldn’t seek revenge.

To become strong, he must follow the system’s instructions, accept the task, and absorb the luck from others.
