Chapter 620: Yan Xiaoduan Asks for Help
When Tangli first bought Yan Xiaoduan, he was only fifteen years old. Tangli watched him grow up little by little from a naive boy, and then lose his childishness...
Although Yan Xiaoduan has grown up in appearance, he is still very childish at heart, like a child who has never grown up.
However, Tangli liked him very much. The boy had a bold look and was always full of energy.
Who doesn’t like such a vibrant life?
Although they said they bought him to be a servant, Tang Li never treated him as a servant. In their family, Yan Xiaoduan was half a young master.
Tang Li still remembers when Yan Xiaoduan left. It was a sunny day and the young man was riding on a horse, looking very flamboyant.
Now, seeing him in such a dilapidated state, Tang Li felt a little uncomfortable thinking that he must have suffered a lot.
Yan Xiaoduan babbled on and on:
"Lao Tang, my father is very ill. I have no other options."
"Lao Tang, I can only think of you. You are my last life-saving straw."
"Lao Tang, I feel so bad."
As Yan Xiaoduan spoke, his stomach was still rumbling.
"Come in first." Tang Li said.
Tang Li led Yan Xiaoduan into the living room and asked the servants to bring cakes and tea.
"Eat something first." Tang Li said.
Yan Xiaoduan was very hungry, so he picked up the pastries and started eating them, his skinny little face bulging with food.
Tangli poured the tea and handed it to him: "Drink some water, don't choke."
Yan Xiaoduan choked, and quickly took the tea and took a big gulp, which made him feel better.
"Lao Tang, I didn't bring any money when I went out, so I only brought some food. I haven't eaten for several days." Yan Xiaoduan said.
After Yan Xiaoduan had eaten and drunk his fill, he finally felt a little better. Instead of sitting on a chair, he sat on the ground with one hand on the chair.
"Lao Tang, when I went back, I found out that my father had been ill for several years and had been looking for doctors everywhere. My father went to see doctors everywhere, but I was angry with him and stayed outside instead of going home. I am really unfilial." Yan Xiaoduan said with red eyes. He thought of the appearance of his father when he just went back. The majestic father in the past now had a lot of white hair and looked particularly weak and old.
However, there is no worst in this world, only worse.
At that time, his father's condition was stable, and the doctor said he could live for another five years, but...
"Not long after I returned, it was all because of me...my father's condition suddenly worsened. I went to many doctors, but they all said they couldn't treat him. I thought of Doctor Su. Doctor Su is very capable and maybe he can help."
Yan Xiaoduan sniffed: "Lao Tang, help me."
Tang Li squatted in front of him, Yan Xiaoduan, just like her younger brother.
Tangli reached out and touched his dirty head.
This caress was soothing, and Yan Xiaoduan felt inexplicably at ease.
"good."
Tang Li thought of another thing. A few days ago, her husband said that the head of the Yan family was seriously ill and had no time to care about what Yan Zhuo was doing in the capital.
Yan Xiaoduan's father is ill again, and both of them have the surname Yan. What a coincidence...
Tang Li asked, "Is the Yan family, a gunpowder family, related to your family, Yan Xiaoduan?"
Yan Xiaoduan said: "My family is the Yan family, and my father is the head of the Yan family."
Even though he already had a guess in his mind, Tang Li was still a little shocked when Yan Xiaoduan said it.
It was such a coincidence that the servant she bought casually turned out to be the young master of the Yan family.
She is a koi, this is the norm.
Tangli told himself.
Only a big family like the Yan family can raise a young master as noble as Yan Xiaoduan.
"Is Yan Zhuo your sworn brother?" Tang Li continued to ask.
Yan Xiaoduan nodded: "Everyone says he is humble and polite, and more filial than me, his own son, but I don't like him."
When his father was alive, Yan Zhuo treated him very well, even better than his own brother.
When his father was not around, Yan Zhuo looked at him with hostility.
Therefore, Yan Xiaoduan felt that Yan Zhuo was a hypocritical person.
"Lao Tang, how do you know Yan Zhuo?" Yan Xiaoduan asked.
"He is in the capital, developing firearms in the Firearms Bureau." Tang Li said.
Yan Xiaoduan's eyes widened: "How dare he?"
His shoulders slumped. "It must be because Daddy is sick and no one cares about him..."
It's all his fault for being useless. He should have shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Yan family.
"We'll deal with his problem later. How far is the capital from your home?" Tang Li asked.
Yan Xiaoduan said, "Ride as fast as you can, five or six days."
"You get some sleep first. I'll go find Doctor Su and leave early tomorrow morning."
Yan Xiaoduan struggled to get up: "Lao Tang, I'm not tired. Can we set off tonight?"
He was really worried about his father, afraid that if he went back one day later, he would never see his father again.
Tang Li looked at the fatigue on Yan Xiaoduan's face. He didn't know how long it had been since he last slept. If he didn't sleep, let alone saving the head of the Yan family, Yan Xiaoduan would die first.
"Be good, take a nap first, then you can work harder after that, maybe you can get there faster. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood." Tang Li said.
Yan Xiaoduan just nodded.
Tang Li asked the servants to prepare water and asked Yan Xiaoduan to take a bath first.
Xu Jue, Wei Ziang and Wei Qing were dismissed from their posts almost at the same time.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang were very surprised and delighted to hear that Yan Xiaoduan had returned, so they ran to find him.
"He is very tired. Don't talk so much. Let him have a good sleep." Tang Li instructed.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang nodded obediently and left.
Tang Li and Wei Qing talked about this matter.
Yan Xiaoduan came back to seek medical treatment for his father.
His father is the head of the Yan family.
Wei Qing was also surprised when he first heard it, but he quickly reacted.
His wife is a lucky charm, so everything is possible.
"Let's go find Doctor Su." Tang Li said.
The two of them went to see Doctor Su and told him about this matter. Doctor Su naturally agreed.
…
Yan Zhuo received a letter.
The letter was sent from the Yan family, saying that Yan Xiaoduan had escaped from the confinement room and ran to the capital.
Yan Zhuo looked down on Yan Xiaoduan, thinking that he was uneducated and unskillful. However, it was because he had the blood of the head of the Yan family flowing in his body that the Yan family would eventually be passed down to him.
Including the key to the Yan family warehouse.
Hidden in the Yan family's warehouse are blueprints of various firearms and gunpowder formulas, which are priceless treasures.
The family motto of the Yan family that has been circulated to the outside world is actually incomplete.
The complete point is that when the world is peaceful, firearms should not be manufactured; when the world is in chaos, a wise ruler should be chosen to assist him.
Today, with the Three Kingdoms in power, it is a peaceful and prosperous era. Those fools in the Yan family stick to the rules and give up wealth and glory, only doing the fireworks business. They are really stupid.
Yan Zhuo was unwilling to give up. He tried every possible means to obtain the blueprints of several firearms. Taking advantage of the head of the family being seriously ill, he escaped from the Yan family and came to the capital...
What is Yan Xiaoduan doing in the capital?
Now that he's in the capital, let him have a taste of the Thunderbolt...
The Yan family is getting more chaotic, and I have no time to take care of him!
A sinister glint flashed in Yan Zhuo's eyes.
…
Tang Li originally thought that he could just let Doctor Su and Yan Xiaoduan go back.
However, when Tangli was sleeping at night, there were some broken fragments in his dream, indicating that Doctor Su and Yan Xiaoduan’s trip would not be smooth.
When Tang Li woke up, it was already light outside. She stood up and looked outside. She thought of Yan Xiaoduan's pitiful and desperate appearance, and considered Doctor Su's safety, and made a decision immediately.
She wants to go with Doctor Su and Yan Xiaoduan.
When Wei Qing heard her decision, he hugged her from behind and held her in his arms: "Wife, I will go with you."
Tang Li turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Come with me? You don't care about the Ministry of Justice anymore?"
"I'm going to ask for leave." Wei Qing said.
In his eyes, his wife comes first and everything else takes a back seat.
"Husband, it's okay. Our family must keep a backbone in the capital." Tang Li said, stroking his face.
Wei Qing humphed twice, reluctantly.
"There are two little babies. When mom is not around, dad must be around." Tang Li said.
Thinking of the two little babies, Wei Qing nodded.
Tangli tidied up and when he finished, it was just dawn.
She went to the next room and looked at the two babies.
The two little guys each occupied a small bed and were sleeping soundly.
Sugar Baby sleeps in a very domineering manner.
Baby Mu is sleeping very well, like a round little ball.
Both babies have chubby faces and long eyelashes, and they are especially cute when they are asleep.
Tangli kissed the two babies and looked at them quietly for a while.
My babies, mommy is leaving for a while and will be back soon.
Tang Li was very reluctant to leave. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and turned to leave.
When Tangli was in the living room, he met Yan Xiaoduan.
After Yan Xiaoduan took a shower and changed his clothes, he felt much cleaner. After a good sleep, only faint bruises remained under his eyes. Apart from the sad expression on his face, he looked the same as when he had just left.
Tangli told them that he decided to go with them.
Yan Xiaoduan's eyes were red and he was very moved.
"Lao Tang, thank you." Yan Xiaoduan said.
When his father began to fall into a coma, he was really desperate, fearing that his father would never wake up.
At that time, he thought of Lao Tang.
Lao Tang is his last straw.
So he ran out secretly, and traveled non-stop all the way, and finally arrived in the capital and met Lao Tang.
Lao Tang agreed without hesitation, and now he wants to go with him in person...
It is said that a true friend is one who can help you in times of crisis.
He was so lucky to meet Lao Tang.
"Lao Tang, I will remember your kindness and go through fire and water for you..."
Tang Li chuckled and joked, "If you eat less and owe me less, that will be considered as repaying my kindness."
Yan Xiaoduan's face suddenly turned red.
His previous behavior was truly absurd and arrogant. Thanks to Lao Tang's pampering of him, others would have kicked him out long ago.
"Let's go." Tang Li said.
There was a carriage parked outside the Marquis' Mansion, and Doctor Su was already on it.
Wei Qing watched his wife get on the carriage. After the carriage drove away, he turned around and called out Pei Yan, who had been secretly protecting him.
Pei Yan was dressed in white, with a thin and slender figure. He was not wearing a mask, revealing a handsome and elegant face.
There are two groups of people around Wei Qing, one is the secret guards and the other is Pei Yan.
Pei Yan is General Pei's adopted son. General Pei is worried about him, so he lets Pei Yan follow him.
Pei Yan saved him several times.
The Yan family is a reclusive family, making it very difficult to investigate.
Wei Qing investigated for three months before he found out that Yan Zhuo was the adopted son of the head of the Yan family and that the head of the Yan family was seriously ill.
In addition to his good martial arts skills, Pei Yan is also immersed in the business world and is very cunning. Following him to the Yan family will make him more useful than the secret guards.
"Help me protect my wife." Wei Qing said, "I'm in the capital, nothing's wrong. The Yan family... the Yan family's situation is complicated and even more dangerous."
Pei Yan obeyed Wei Qing's orders, said nothing, nodded and left.
Pei Yan followed him, and Wei Qing felt more at ease, hoping that his wife would come back soon.
