Chapter 272: Forcibly seizing someone’s husband?

Lin Pianran was at a loss for a moment.

In desperation, she took out a firecracker and threw it into the door with a smirk on her face.

There was a loud "boom" and the man in black fled out of the gate in panic as if a wolf was chasing him.

One hand was still covering half of his injured cheek.

Seeing that the man had been lured out, Lin Pianran took decisive action, threw a hidden weapon at him, and sent him to report to the King of Hell.

Lin Pianran rushed into the warehouse and saw all kinds of weapons, most of which were new, and a small number were old.

There are all kinds of weapons, including knives, guns, swords, halberds... and the number is extremely large, but most of them are knives and swords.

Without hesitation, she put all these weapons into the space.

Looking at the empty warehouse, Lin Pianran's face was full of happy smiles. She felt quite satisfied with this trip.

At least I didn't return empty-handed.

Now she had to speed up, because the firecracker would definitely attract some people once it went off.

Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it will affect her collection of things, so the process must be accelerated.

Lin Pianran quickly rushed to another warehouse, only to see mountains of gold and silver ingots piled up inside. Whole boxes of them filled the entire warehouse, taking up most of the space.

Another one-fifth of the space is filled with various jewelry.

They all look very valuable.

Lin Pianran's eyes lit up and she almost drooled.

She showed no mercy and quickly put everything into the space.

Seeing that the warehouse was empty, Lin Pianran let out a long breath of relief.

Her face was full of joy and she was so happy that she could hardly stop smiling.

As soon as she walked out of the warehouse, she ran into Huo Yuchen, Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai who were rushing over, and a middle-aged woman in tattered clothes following behind them.

In Shen Mubai's arms, there was a skinny woman whose life or death was unknown. She was dressed in extremely shabby clothes.

As soon as Shen Xuanzhi saw Lin Pianran, his face was full of joy. He didn't care about etiquette and rushed to Lin Pianran first.

He said anxiously, "County Master, please give me more medicine."

"What's going on? Who is she?..."

Shen Xuanzhi had a sad look on his face and sighed deeply before he continued, "This girl's name is Feng Linglong, she is my aunt."

Lin Pianran was shocked. This was related to Shen Xuanzhi. Who had the Duke of Ying offended? One person after another was related to their family.

She really wanted to find out.

Shen Xuanzhi continued, "More than a decade ago, after my aunt was forced to divorce the calligrapher Wang Yongxian, she was devastated and unable to recover from her emotional pain. That's why she left her hometown and went to Jiangnan with her maid. After she left, she never returned."

"I didn't expect that she was also trapped in this cave, and she was poisoned and her breath was weak."

This was simply incomprehensible, and Lin Pianran didn't understand it at all.

She continued to ask, "If you have left your hometown, why are you being detained here?"

"I don't know about this either. This time, more than 20 girls were rescued from the south side of the cave. My aunt was held in solitary confinement. When I found her, she was unconscious."

"The person imprisoned with my aunt is her personal maid, Qiuyue. She said that my aunt has been poisoned. For the past six months, she has been sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. Moreover, the time she spends unconscious has become more and more frequent and longer. Her body has become extremely weak..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xuanzhi almost choked.

And Shen Mubai was not much better, he lowered his head and looked extremely sad.

"Please...please, my lady, give me medicine to cure the poison. If you can save her life, I will serve you for the rest of my life and never regret it..."

Chen Mubai also quickly spoke up, "County Master, I am also willing to be at your disposal for the rest of my life."

Lin Pianran walked forward and looked at the woman who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable. She was about thirty years old and her face was as pale as a dead person.

She took out a "Hundred Poison Pill" from her sleeve and asked Shen Mubai to feed it to her quickly.

He handed over another water bag and reminded her, "Give her more water to drink. The more the better."

Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai quickly followed the order and began to pour water into her mouth.

After feeding half a water bag of water, the two brothers finally stopped.

Shen Mubai also knows about medicine, but he is not particularly proficient in it.

He took Feng Linglong's pulse and found that it was much stronger and more stable. He was delighted and said gratefully, "Auntie should have been saved. Thank you, County Lord, for your kindness."

Lin Pianran nodded and smiled faintly.

Chen Mubai picked up Feng Linglong again, and they all walked out of the cave together.

Lin Pianran was very interested in Shen Xuanzhi's words that Feng Linglong was forced to divorce. This aroused her strong curiosity and she couldn't help but ask, "Why was your aunt forced to divorce? Is there anyone who dares to humiliate your Yingguo Mansion like this?"

Shen Xuanzhi sighed and frowned unconsciously.

"This is a long story."

Lin Pianran smiled and said, "Then tell me slowly."

"My aunt and her ex-husband, Wang Yongxian, are distant relatives. Their families have always had a good relationship. My aunt and Wang Yongxian grew up together and have a very close relationship. As they grew up, it was natural for them to fall in love."

"Then, with the help of the elders of both families, the two got married. After the wedding, they were very affectionate and spent all day together, always in harmony."

"My aunt has a gentle personality, a calm temperament, and is quite talented. She is usually most passionate about poetry, calligraphy, and painting, and she has some talent in this area."

"Wang Yongxian's family, on the other hand, followed the path of scholars. They produced several famous calligraphers, all of whom held important positions in the Qin Dynasty."

"The Wang family is extremely prominent, a branch of the Langya Wang clan. Not only are the Wang family members talented, but both men and women are also known for their good looks."

"Wang Yongxian is even more elegant, as graceful as the wind and the moon, and he is extraordinary. He has been quite famous since his youth, and his elegant manners have won the favor of many noble ladies, making him a desirable man that noble ladies are vying to marry."

"Three years after my aunt and Wang Yongxian got married, at a palace banquet, Wang Yongxian was noticed by Emperor Wu of Qin's sister, Princess Dechang."

Rob someone else's husband? This thought suddenly popped up in Lin Pianran's mind.
