Reborn and Returned, Her In-Laws' Whole Family Kneels Begging for Forgiveness

In her previous life, Gu Yunran fell for the poor scholar Lu Qingzhou. She carefully schemed, planned every step, and personally pushed her beloved onto the Marquis's throne.

She toiled h...

Chapter 196: Sudden Danger

"But..." The old lady was still hesitant, "This temple is located on such a high ground, it shouldn't be..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady: "I believe this girl, let's go up the mountain."

The old lady had spoken, and the old nanny could only obey. She supported the old lady and said, "Grandma, please go slower."

Gu Yunran and Ruizhu were walking in front, and the old lady was walking behind. Seeing the old lady catching up, Gu Yunran thought for a moment and stopped. She stood there, waiting for the old lady.

Ruizhu stood beside Gu Yunran and held an umbrella for her: "Second Madam, it's raining so hard, let's go first."

"Just wait until the pavilion on the mountain."

Gu Yunran shook his head: "They are two old people. I am worried about the slippery mountain road. Let's wait for a while."

Ruizhu said, "Second Madam, let Ningxue accompany you to the mountain first. I will stay here to look after them."

"You can't stay out in the rain while you're pregnant."

"It's okay, just wait a moment." Gu Yunran held up the hem of her skirt and stood there waiting, looking at the old lady with silver hair, her eyes slightly sore.

"Oh, for some reason, when I saw her, I thought of my grandmother. If she were still alive, she would be about the same age as her."

Gu Yunran paused for a moment, her voice suddenly choking. "It was also a rainy day, and it was raining very hard. I fell into the pond. My grandmother, regardless of the risk of her own life, jumped in to save me, but she herself ran out of energy and sank. I was at a loss at the time and could only cry loudly. By the time someone came to rescue my grandmother, it was too late."

Having said this, Gu Yunran could no longer hold back her tears. They welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks, but she quickly controlled her emotions and tried her best to appear calm.

Ruizhu took a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Gu Yunran washed her nose, took the handkerchief from Ruizhu and wiped her tears.

"I'm fine."

She pointed at Qianli and said, "The old lady is old, you go and help him."

Qianli was a little hesitant. After all, it was difficult to walk on such a high mountain road in the heavy rain. He had to stay by Gu Yunran's side so that he could protect Gu Yunran in time in case of an accident.

Seeing Qianli's hesitation, Gu Yunran smiled and said, "With Ningxue and Ruizhu watching over me, I'll be fine. Go ahead."

"good."

Qianli walked towards the old lady and said, "Old lady, my grandmother asked me to help you."

The old lady stopped, looked up at Gu Yunran, smiled at her, turned to Qianli and said, "Thank you for your help."

"You're too polite, old lady."

Qianli supported the old lady and walked up the mountain. Gu Yunran started walking only after they caught up.

The old lady looked at Gu Yunran's back, which was wet. She said, "Girl, you young people are fast-paced. Go ahead and don't wait for me. I'll walk slowly behind you."

Gu Yunran smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful about the slippery road."

"Well, you should go first. Your clothes are all wet. You're pregnant. Don't catch a cold."

Gu Yunran thought about it and felt that there was really not much point in her staying to keep them company, so she and the two girls quickened their pace and headed up the mountain.

"Second Madam, this room is a bit shabby. There's not even a bed or quilt. Just make do with it."

Ruizhu dusted the bed and found some hay to put on it.

"It's okay." Gu Yunran walked over and lay on it, waving to Ruizhu and Ningxue: "You two come over and squeeze in."

"Second Madam, I am not sleepy. I will stay here."

"You haven't had a good rest these past two days. Take this opportunity to have a good rest and don't get too tired."

After Gu Yunran's repeated persuasion, the two girls walked over and lay down with Gu Yunran.

There were lightning and thunder outside and the rain was heavy.

Gu Yunran was not sleeping soundly and felt the ground shaking slightly. She was startled and sat up.

Sensing Gu Yunran's movements, Ruizhu and Ning Xuexue also woke up, "Second Madam, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear any roaring outside?" Gu Yunran asked the two girls.

Ruizhu and Ningxue nodded: "I heard it."

"Go out and see what's going on?"

"yes."

Ningxue asked Ruizhu to stay in the house to take care of Yunran. She ran out in a hurry and came back soon.

"Second Grandma, there's a flood and a landslide outside."

Gu Yunran was startled, and hurriedly put on his cloak and ran out: "Quick, go wake up the old lady."

"yes."

Ruizhu supported Gu Yunran, and Ningxue hurriedly ran to call for help, but as soon as she arrived at the old lady's room, she found a lot of stones rolling down with the flood.

"Be careful." Ningxue reminded, but it was too late.

With a loud crash, large rocks fell down and collapsed the meditation room.

"Old lady."

The old nanny screamed heartbreakingly. She and the old lady could only stand in the flood holding onto a pine tree.

The water flow was very fast and one would be washed away if not careful. Qianli ran to Gu Yunran and advised her to leave quickly.

"Second Grandma, the water level is getting higher and higher. Let's go to the mountain over there. I've just explored the road. There's a gap in the mountain over here, and the flood is pouring down. We can't go there. But that road can be taken. Now the rain is still falling, let's take shelter over there first and wait until the rain stops before going again."

Gu Yunran said: "Qianli, find a way to rescue the old lady."

Seeing the white-haired old lady reminded her of her grandmother.

A living life, she doesn't want to give up.

Qianli said: "Second Madam, I must keep you safe under the orders of my master."

"As for the rest...we'll talk about it once you're safe."

"I'm fine, go and save her." Gu Yunran thought for a moment, then pointed to a dead tree nearby. "Take this dead tree down, prop it up on the stone table over there, and you can save the old lady."

Seeing Gu Yunran's insistence, Qianli couldn't bear to see the two white-haired old men die in the flood. He said, "I understand."

He walked up to the dead tree, kicked it hard in the right direction, and the dead tree fell down and landed on the stone table.

On this side, Ruizhu Ningxue and Gu Yunran supported the dead tree with all their strength and walked along the trunk for thousands of miles.

"Madam." He reached out to pull the old lady, and the old lady pointed to the old nanny beside her and said, "Good boy, save Rong Mama first. She is my wet nurse, older than me. I can still hold on for a while."

Aunt Rong shook her head: "No, you have to save our ancestor first."

Qianli was anxious: "Two old people, please stop arguing. Time is running out and our grandma can't hold on for much longer."

"Old lady, give me your hand first, I will pull you up."

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

Qianli held the old lady's hand, pulled her up, and ran quickly to a safe area with her in his arms. After putting the old lady down, he ran to save Rong Mama without stopping.

After rescuing Rong Mama, Gu Yunran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she relaxed, her vision suddenly went dark.
