Chapter 310 As for the mess here, it’s none of our business!

"Ason! Ason, what's wrong with you?"

Chen was so scared that she quickly held his hand. He had also "fallen ill" in front of her that day. Was she going to experience such pain again?

Ruan Mian hurriedly grabbed his pulse, and at this moment, a palm suddenly came from behind!

At that moment, Ruan Qingsong felt pain, his eyes turned black, and he lost consciousness and fell into Chen's arms.

Looking over, Ruan Mian discovered that the person coming was Huo Zong.

"General Huo? When did you come back?"

Ruan Qing followed behind Huo Zong.

At this moment, Ruan Qing also hurriedly ran over to support Ruan Qingsong: "Sister, don't say so much for now, take brother back, and we will talk again when we get back to the house!"

"As for the mess here, it's none of our business! This old woman will definitely not let her son die in the wilderness."

The current situation is all their own fault, so who else can take care of it?

After they had taken care of Ruan Qingsong who had fainted, they sat down and had a good chat.

At this moment, Chen was still taking care of people inside, and Ruan Qing said that she was the one who brought Huo Zong here.

Originally, Huo Zong wanted to visit them, but when they were on the road, they heard villagers talking about the woods, so they hurried over.

Ruan Qing felt a wave of fear: "Luckily, my sister-in-law is fine. If not, how would we feel at ease?"

"Although my brother can't remember the past, he still feels sorry for his sister-in-law."

Ruan Mian looked solemn. Thinking of Ruan Qingsong's situation, she felt bad.

Unconsciously, she had begun to regard Ruan Qingsong as her own brother. There must be a reason for his severe stress reaction.

What is most puzzling now is the root cause behind it.

Only by treating his condition with the right medicine can he recover completely.

This also made Ruan Mian more curious about what happened when Ruan Qingsong went to Xingjia.

So much so that he suffered a huge change.

Just as she was thinking, an official came outside the house. Ruan Mian then remembered that she was invited to meet the new prefect today, but was delayed because of her sister-in-law's affairs.

So he quickly stood up and explained the accident to the officer.

Huo Zong was standing nearby and also took the opportunity to explain a few things to her. When the officer saw General Huo was there, he quickly returned the greeting.

"Don't worry, Madam Ruan. Lord Lin is very understanding. Madam Ruan was delayed today due to important family matters, so Lord Lin will definitely not mind. Moreover, General Huo is here, so it must be a big deal."

"In that case, I will take my leave first. I will report to you when I return home. You will then naturally reschedule the time for me to meet with Madam Ruan."

Ruan Mian nodded, then politely sent him away.

After the official left, she looked at Huo Zong and suddenly became curious.

"I wonder if General Huo knows this prefect, Lord Lin?" Huo Zong shook his head truthfully. "I've only heard that the new Lord Lin was once a high-ranking official in the court, loyal to the late emperor. However, because of several of his admonishments, he offended many people and was demoted again and again, serving as a provincial official. As for his personality, I'm not very clear, and I've never had any dealings with him before."

"But Wu Heng has already established its own government, and Madam Ruan has made an indelible contribution. It was you who led Jinsha Village to grow crops and reclaim wasteland, which led to Wu Heng's significant development."

Hearing this, Ruan Mian laughed and said, "I dare not take credit for this. I am only thinking about my family and my own life. I don't think as far ahead as General Huo."

"The reason Wu Heng was able to establish his own residence must be because General Huo negotiated and secured benefits for this place."

Huo Zong smiled, and at this moment he suddenly remembered something. He restrained his smile and looked at her seriously and said.

"There's one more thing I think Madam Ruan should know."

"General, speak frankly."

"The Emperor has pardoned Lord Xie. He was previously demoted to Wuheng as the stationmaster of the Longchang Post Station, where he suffered greatly and... even died a violent death. The Emperor, mindful of their former friendship, has bestowed a reward upon him. However, my lady..."

Ruan Mian chuckled softly and shook his head helplessly: "He's already gone, what's the point of fame and fortune? I also understand that my current status is not enough to accept those rewards for him."

Others didn't know that Xie Huaian's fake death was a trap, but Ruan Mian knew it in his heart.

Huo Zong didn't want to mention the adults anymore and make Ruan Mian more sad.

After saying this, he changed the subject and asked about Ruan Qingsong.

This was Ruan Mian's biggest headache right now. "My brother's situation might be a little tricky. The most urgent thing is to calm him down. By the way, General Huo, now that you're back and my brother is home, can we get your marriage to my sister started?"

When Huo Zong mentioned Ruan Qing, his face flushed uncontrollably. "Actually... I was just about to talk to Madam Ruan about this. But I was hesitant to bring it up because of Master Ruan."

"It's okay. Although my brother has encountered this hardship, it won't become an obstacle to your marriage with my sister. You two have been delayed for a long time. My sister is a good girl. I also believe that General Huo is an upright person and will definitely not let my sister down."

At this point, Huo Zong suddenly clasped his fists and became extremely serious!

He solemnly promised Ruan Mian, "Madam Ruan, rest assured. Regardless of honor or disgrace, I will always prioritize Ruan Qing and protect her for the rest of my life. I will never let her suffer any injustice around me!"

"Ruan Qing once risked his life to save my life. I will repay him double in this lifetime."

With his attitude, Ruan Mian could rest assured and let them get married.

"Then let's wait for our parents to decide on a date."

Later, when Ruan Mian returned to the house to prepare medicine for his brother, he mentioned the marriage to his mother.

The two elders had already made plans and even had a good date in mind.

Right now, she was only worried about Zhou'er. "As a mother, I can't explain to you how your brother is feeling. Mianmian, will he always be like this? If so, how will your sister-in-law cope?"

Facing her mother's worries, Ruan Mian comforted her: "Things will definitely get better."

"Mother, do you still not believe in my brother's character? We don't need to say how he treats his family. There must be some unknown story behind him becoming like this."

Zhang took a deep breath, held Ruan Mian's hand, gritted her teeth and nodded: "Mian Mian is right, it's useless for me to sigh and worry all the time."

She is a mother, and Ruan Mian naturally understands her worries.

That's why she had to find out what happened to her brother as soon as possible.

So she took the opportunity of delivering the medicine to have a good talk with Ruan Qingsong.

But when she arrived at her brother's house, Yun Xiu suddenly ran over to tell her, "Sister Mianmian, the young master has disappeared again. I just asked around, and some villagers saw him heading towards the Linfen River."
