Chapter 42 Another group of people arrived at the post station

Shunzi had just given Guard Liu a set of clean clothes. Seeing that he hadn't changed them, Ruan Mian asked him to change first and then talk to him.

The most urgent thing is to get Chen diagnosed.

"Mianmian, Ruige'er..."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Rui Ge is fine now and will wake up soon."

She reached out to take Chen's pulse. Just as she was listening to Chen's words of relief, she suddenly felt Chen's pulse was unusual!

She was a little surprised, but considering there were so many people around, she still called her brother over.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is pregnant. She must have been pregnant before she left the house."

Ruan Qingsong was overjoyed when he heard this!

"But is it true?" Thinking back to that time, it was no wonder she was so sleepy and had a poor appetite. She must have gotten pregnant around that time.

Ruan Mian nodded, thought for a moment, and then warned him, "Don't tell anyone about your sister-in-law's pregnancy. We're in a dangerous situation now, and the fetus is unstable. I'll go find some prescriptions in the medicine box to protect the fetus. You must take good care of your sister-in-law."

After saying that, he did not forget to let Chen drink the spiritual spring water.

The fetus is not stable now, and I am afraid that the people in the Qi Mansion will cause trouble, so I have to be cautious.

Fortunately, she moved the entire herbal medicine shop into the space, and all the prescriptions for preserving the fetus were available, and there was no shortage of herbs.

While boiling the medicine, he also boiled a tonic for Guard Liu to strengthen his body, also using spiritual spring water.

After sending it to him, Guard Liu was very grateful and also told her about the thrilling journey.

"Madam Ruan, I originally wanted to wait for you in Ji County, but a few days ago, Ji County was hit by a devastating natural disaster, and the city was unstable. Your sister-in-law is not in good health and can't stand the cold. I also heard that the war at the border is intense, and some military camps are running low on food and fodder, so many deserters have fled to Ji County."

"Huicheng is always safer than Ji County. I've counted the days of your exile, and you should have arrived at Huiyi Station in the next few days." "So you brought the two of them to Huicheng to meet me in advance?"

Guard Liu nodded, but felt guilty. "It's just that I didn't expect to encounter heavy snow on the road. Huicheng has been in the same situation as Jixian a while ago. So... your sister-in-law and the child... it's all my fault for not taking good care of them."

Ruan Mian patted his shoulder and said disapprovingly.

"You've worked so hard. I can't thank you enough. How can I blame you? If you hadn't brought them here earlier, you might have been in trouble in Ji County, or even frozen to death. At least it's safe here."

Guard Liu actually didn't tell her one thing. His hometown was Huicheng. He had originally thought that if he couldn't find her at the post station, he would take the mother and son to hide in his hometown. At least it would be better than being in danger in Ji County.

While thinking, Ruan Mian suddenly thought of something.

She went into the house, took out a bag and handed it to Guard Liu.

"Guard Liu, I have an errand. Would you be willing to take it? This is my reward."

After saying this, he took out a few gold leaves from his purse.

Guard Liu quickly shook his head: "Madam Ruan, there is no need to be polite with me. You have helped me before, so it is only natural for me to help you."

Ruan Mian didn't expect this person to be so honest.

So I solemnly said to him, "You've already helped me once. Let's put things in perspective. If I have a need, I'll tell you. If you don't want to take this order, you can also tell me. It's okay."

"But if you accept this order from me, then this reward is what you deserve." Guard Liu didn't want to take so much money for no reason. After thinking about it, he only accepted a gold leaf.

Ruan Mian didn't force him, but casually stuffed the remaining pieces into his belt while handing him the bag.

Then he told him, "I need you to deliver the contents of these bags to Prime Minister Xie Huaian in Kyoto. This involves food and wages for the border, as well as the case of the corrupt officials in Huicheng. There are many people involved, so the sooner the better."

When Liu Changqing heard that the matter was of great importance, his expression became even more tense: "I will definitely convey this to my wife."

Ruan Mian smiled slightly, stood up and said, "There's no need to rush about this matter. Let's set off after breakfast tomorrow."

After the voice fell, Qi Nanfeng got the news from somewhere, limped over quickly, pointed at the two of them, and sneered.

"Great, Ruan Mian! So you two have been secretly in cahoots all along! So he's the reason you want to divorce me?!"

Hearing this, Guard Liu immediately stood up, but was stopped by Ruan Mian just as he was about to speak.

"Don't worry about it, I'll do it."

After saying that, she walked straight to Qi Nanfeng. Seeing his fierce face, she suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve!

With lightning speed, she slashed his coat, scaring him so much that he stepped back repeatedly. Before he could say anything, Ruan Mian turned around and hit him hard on the head with the handle of the knife.

The sound of "bang" almost made him see stars.

The next step was that Ruan Mian raised his hand and chopped at his lower body.

Qi Nanfeng was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his crotch, rolled over and screamed angrily: "You bitch! Bitch! You will get your comeuppance sooner or later!!"

Seeing his cowardly look, Ruan Mian sneered.

He said coldly, "You were having an affair first, and you still have the nerve to accuse me for no reason? What kind of logic is that!"

"If you mess with me again, I'll make you a castrated dog for the rest of your life."

After all, Qi Nanfeng had seen her kill someone with his own eyes, so he was really scared by her and ran out in a hurry with a purple face.

After meeting Liu, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ruan Mian had an affair with the former guard Liu in the mansion. Why didn't you find out?"

Hearing this, Liu's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did you say? She and that Guard Liu??"

Seeing Liu's confused face, Qi Nanfeng was too lazy to talk to her, but a thorn had already been planted in his heart.

Fortunately, he had felt pity for Ruan Mian at the beginning, thinking that if she changed her mind and agreed to be with him again, he would treat her well.

Now, she has even been cuckolded. When that day comes, he will humiliate her to death!

Let her and everyone in her Ruan family regret it!

Little did he know that Ruan Mian didn't take him seriously at all.

After settling his family, he was called by the officials to go to the road early the next morning.

But this time it was much less difficult, and the snow gradually stopped.

But the sky did not clear up, and the leader of the officials was struggling over whether to leave today. After discussing with the officials in the post station, they decided to set off as soon as possible in order to complete the task on time.

It snows a lot in winter, so it is impossible to delay the trip because of one or two snowfalls.

So the post station sent another armored soldier to lead the way for them.

But before departure, another group of people arrived at the post station.

There were nearly ten men who were sitting in a prison cart and were pulled down by the horse driver. The man leading them was actually the second son of the Bo family, Li Ming.

Li Shen was beheaded in public because of spreading rumors and disrupting the government. There was conclusive evidence.

Li Ming and his group were ordered to be exiled with this team. Now, the government office in Kyoto has sent people to bring them here at full speed.

As soon as Li Ming appeared, the women in the Bo's house seemed to have found a backbone, and they all came to greet him crying and shouting.
