Chapter 324: Ruan Mian comforted her, then went back to staring at Chen's body

He also promised himself that he would bring them back to reunite with their parents.

Because of these beliefs, Chen never felt that his life was hard.

But fate is so cruel. Why are such good parents used as targets? Why is such a good husband used as an arrow?

This feather arrow not only ended the lives of my parents, but also pierced Chen's heart.

She felt suffocated and suddenly couldn't breathe. Everything in front of her became blurred, and in the end only the familiar voice remained in her ears.

“Sister-in-law…”

"Weier!"

Zhang and the others were slow to realize what was happening. When the two elders heard the news, they were stunned for a moment, unable to bear the blow, and collapsed to the ground.

Ruan Mian spoke to comfort her, then busied himself staring at Chen's body.

Cuizhu was concerned about the girl's health and wanted to take on all the responsibilities for her, but there were some things she could not do for her.

So while decocting the medicine, he suddenly made up his mind.

"Girl, I used to think that as long as I could manage business well and learn to read and do accounting with you, I could help you a lot. But now I realize that it is far from enough."

"I also want to study medicine and practice martial arts like Wanshu. I want to be able to protect others and save their lives."

At the critical moment, she wanted to stand in front of the girl and become someone who could stand on her own.

After all, this is a dangerous place, who knows what will happen in the future and who will bully you?

If women like them don't become strong themselves, how can they expect others to do everything for them?

Seeing her ambition, Ruan Mian encouraged her: "As long as you have the will, just do it. As for how far you can go, it depends on your own perseverance."

"But Pearl, everything has its priorities. You must have a scale in your heart to know what is necessary and what can be done slowly. Don't push yourself too hard, and don't put the cart before the horse, or you will end up with nothing."

Cuizhu nodded vigorously and made up her mind secretly.

When she returned to the bed with the medicine, Chen had already opened her eyes.

She looked at Ruan Mian with red eyes, but her gaze was more determined than ever.

"Mianmian, do you know where Wen Qiang is now?"

Ruan Mian understood her intention and said to her solemnly, "Sister-in-law, take the medicine first. I will go to the prefect to ask about the situation later."

"Wen Qiang has committed countless evil deeds and is responsible for several deaths. How can we let her go so easily?"

"I will seek justice for you, for my brother, for your parents, and for Rui Ge'er!"

Chen clenched her hands, her eyes as cold as the cold wind in the coldest days of winter. No one knew that her heart was in turmoil.

Some ideas also came up.

At the same time, Yun Xiu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Sister Mianmian, Lord Lin is here in person."

Hearing this, Ruan Mian suppressed the restless Chen and went to see the prefect first.

After sending the others away, Lord Lin told her the truth.

"The old woman couldn't bear more than twenty strokes of the cane, and at the last moment, she got a confession from Miss Wen."

"The old woman explained that the so-called Miss Wen took the initiative to find her house and didn't say much. She just told her that if she wanted to seek justice for her son, she should do as she said. And the medicine she gave to Aunt Shen to poison Lin Ge'er was also given by Miss Wen."

However, the bottle of medicine had been replaced by Ruan Mian at that time, so Lin Ge'er pretended to be dead and exposed the old woman's behavior in court.

Lord Lin continued, "She gave me Miss Wen's address, and I immediately sent someone there, but the place was already empty. No one came to report to the nearby officials, so they must have left Wuheng City."

Ruan Mian frowned and immediately decided to ask Lord Lin to take him there again.

Since Wen Qiang had stayed there, her presence must have been left there. By mobilizing the spiritual beasts in the space to help, perhaps we can get some news about her.

The place where she lived was a dilapidated house outside the city, and all traces inside had been erased, not even footprints.

Ruan Mian took advantage of the fact that no one was around, touched the pearl and jade ring, and summoned birds and beasts.

But they did not find any trace of human remains here.

Seeing this, she could only ask the birds and beasts to search nearby.

Yun Xiu, who came with her, also checked the dilapidated house inside and out.

"Sister Mianmian, it seems no one has been here before. Did the old woman remember it wrongly, or did she say it wrong on purpose?"

While he was thinking, birds and beasts suddenly flew away overhead, making bursts of warning cries.

Ruan Mian immediately shouted to Lord Lin outside the door: "Sir! Quickly leave with the guards!"

After saying that, he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve. The next moment, several figures suddenly dropped from the sky, holding sharp blades and rushing towards her.

Yun Xiu's eyes were filled with anger. He drew out his sharp blade and threw the scabbard hard at the knee of the leader.

After fighting back halfway, he grabbed Ruan Mian's arm and protected her behind him: "Sister Mian Mian, you go first, I'll hold on!"

After saying this, he turned around and rushed out with his sword at lightning speed, accurately blocking the blade of the villain. Immediately afterwards, a continuous stream of people rushed towards him from behind.

Ruan Mian saw this and wondered how Yun Xiu could handle so many people on his own. If she were the only one here, everything would be easy. But besides Yun Xiu, there was also Lord Lin and some officials.

She could only touch the jeweled ring and summon a few hounds.

They rushed in from outside the courtyard gate, barking wildly! The officials and Mr. Lin were shocked, but the hounds were not coming towards them, but towards the bad guys.

They are agile, strong and flexible, and they bite without mercy when they open their mouths.

The few villains who looked ferocious just a moment ago were bitten on the vital parts by the hunting dogs. They were not even given the chance to lift their knives. They screamed in pain and were dragged to the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Xiu took this opportunity to find their weaknesses one by one!

After quickly defeating the few people in front, he pulled Ruan Mian and quickly escaped from there.

Lord Lin also left safely under the protection of the officials.

They gradually stopped until no one was chasing them.

"Yun Xiu, you..."

Ruan Mian turned around and before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw Yun Xiu holding his shoulders tightly.

Blood seeped out from his shoulder and flowed out through his fingers.

Ruan Mian frowned slightly and immediately asked him to stop: "Sit down first, let me take a look at the wound."

She suddenly remembered that Yun Xiu had blocked the man's knife for her, and she guessed that it was hit on the shoulder.

Seeing the blood flowing out, Ruan Mian's heart was moved, while Yun Xiu frowned and said nothing.

She decisively tore a piece of cloth from her skirt, bandaged his wound tightly, and immediately helped him behind a rock nearby: "Wait here for me, I'll be back soon."

Without giving Yun Xiu a chance to speak, Ruan Mian decisively left the place. After walking a few steps, seeing no one around, she immediately grabbed the pearl ring, entered the space, got the hemostatic medicine and cloth, and hung the water bag filled with spiritual spring water around her waist. She rushed to Yun Xiu's side as soon as possible, obviously he didn't expect Ruan Mian to arrive so quickly.
