Chapter 304 Leaving Mengxin Village
After venting, Hua Lingxiao and Hua Siyue calmed down.
Time was running out, and there was no time to prepare other things. Hua Lingxiao handed Yuan Wanru a box and said, "Here are the things that mother has saved for you over the years. I always thought that I would give them to you when I have the chance."
After all, when she and Yuan Chuan broke up, Yuan Chuan said that he would tell Yuan Wanru the truth when she grew up.
Although he didn't know when they would meet again, Hua Lingxiao had always been looking forward to meeting Yuan Wanru one day.
Yuan Wanru hesitated for a while and did not take it.
Hua Lingxiao smiled and said, "You and Siyue both have one. Although she is nominally my sister's child, in my heart, I regard her as the same as you, so I will naturally not favor one over the other."
Hua Siyue was not jealous at all and smiled calmly: "Well, my aunt treats me very well. If you don't mind, I will give you all my things."
Yuan Wanru opened the box and saw a stack of banknotes in it. This gift was really practical.
"so much?"
Hua Lingxiao didn't care. "It's only 100,000 taels, not much. I'll save more in the future."
One hundred thousand taels. That means, including Hua Siyue’s, Hua Lingxiao has to give at least two hundred thousand taels. Is Hua Lingxiao so rich?
Hua Siyue glanced at Lu Jiangnian with pride and said, "Cousin, don't think that we live in the village. In fact, many people from southern Xinjiang come here to seek medical treatment. Gu can hurt people, but it can also cure diseases."
Yuan Wanru could understand this. Just like the sleep nightmare poison that had infected Old Madam Lu, if used properly, it could actually be a good way to treat insomnia.
"Everyone in the village who goes out to see patients must be assigned by my aunt, so..."
Hua Siyue blinked and said, "Every year my aunt receives so many gifts from people seeking medical treatment and from the village that she is overwhelmed."
So that's why. No wonder the Mo family is so covetous of the position of Gu Sect's leader.
"Hmph, anyway, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just come back. We are not short of money."
Hua Lingxiao also solemnly warned her: "Siyue is right, don't put yourself in a difficult position for anyone, Mengxin Village will always be your backer."
Lu Jiangnian understood that this was an opportunity to warn him.
It would be fine if it was only Hua Siyue, but since his mother-in-law said so too, he must make his attitude clear.
"Whoever dares to bully my wife, I will be the first one to not forgive her."
"As for me, all my private property is at least over 200,000 yuan, and I have given it all to my wife. If I bully her, I'm afraid I won't even have money to eat."
More than 200,000 is not an exaggeration.
The Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is not a family of nobles and their wealth is not abundant, but Lu Jiangnian is a very thoughtful person. He has won a lot of spoils from battles abroad over the years, and has also received rewards from the court, so he has quite a lot of property in his hands.
It is said that war is the most profitable business.
Hua Lingxiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her son-in-law would be so generous. She looked at Yuan Wanru inquiringly, and Yuan Wanru nodded with a smile, proving that what Lu Jiangnian said was true.
No wonder Wanru is satisfied with him.
There are not many men who are willing to do so.
"Okay, then I will rest assured to leave Wanru to you."
"But if you dare to bully her in the future, I will never forgive you."
Lu Jiangnian was serious and promised in a resolute voice: "I will never let her down in this life."
It was getting late, and Yuan Wanru and the others should go back to rest. Hua Lingxiao suddenly remembered something.
"The poison in my son-in-law might be related to someone in our Hua family."
Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru listened carefully to her talk about what happened that year.
When those things happened, Hua Lingxiao was not yet born.
It is said that there is a girl named Hua Bushian in the branch of the Gu clan Hua family. She is good at Gu skills, and the people in the village have always placed high hopes on her.
Who would have thought that when she was playing nearby, she met a young man from Dajingchao and wanted to marry him.
The leader of Gu Sect at that time was Hua Lingxiao's grandfather. He disliked people from Da Jing Dynasty the most and firmly disagreed with Hua Buxian being with people from Da Jing Dynasty.
So, Hua Buxian was locked up.
However, there was someone who helped her escape. That person was Grandma Tu’s brother, Tu Xiang.
Tu Xiang likes Hua Bushian and is willing to do anything for her.
Hua Lingxiao said calmly: "Unfortunately, my grandfather is a stubborn person and will never show mercy to those who disobey his orders."
"My grandfather ordered that all the Gu and medicine on Tu Xiang's body be taken away, and he was thrown into the Gu cave alone for a day and a night as a punishment."
Yuan Wanru had been to the Gu Cave. To be honest, without the help of medicine, she would be in great danger in the Gu Cave.
Hua Lingxiao's next words confirmed her guess.
"When Tu Xiang came out of the Gu Cave, there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body, and he died soon after."
"Afterwards, Grandma Tu complained to Grandpa day and night. Grandpa probably realized that his methods were too cruel. He didn't say anything, but quickly gave up the position of clan leader to my father."
Lu Jiangnian pondered for a moment, "I guess what my mother-in-law said is correct. Gao Peng's wife's surname is Hua, but no one knows her specific name."
Gao Peng’s wife is probably Hua Bushian who escaped from Gu Zong.
-
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
Hua Lingxiao and Hua Siyue saw them off, and Su Shaodong also left the village with them.
Ever since Hua Siyue found out that Yuan Wanru was her cousin, her heart has been devoted to Yuan Wanru, and she has forgotten about her girlish feelings.
When she saw Su Shaodong again, Hua Siyue didn't even look at her, but just held Yuan Wanru's hand reluctantly, unwilling to let go.
"Sister, I will come to find you."
Yuan Wanru nodded and pinched her face: "Follow A'ran and learn skills. The world outside is very complicated. Don't run out without any skills."
Hua Siyue never stopped crying. She had finally recognized her cousin, but now they had to be separated. She was so sad.
Hua Lingxiao has become more open-minded. All good things must come to an end. The child has grown up and is supposed to walk on his own.
"Okay, stop crying. If you delay any longer, you'll miss your trip."
Yuan Wanru looked at her sideways and said, "Take care."
She smiled kindly and calmly: "I will be fine. I'm still looking forward to seeing you again."
Lu Jiangnian bowed deeply to her and said, "Take care."
Then he helped Yuan Wanru get on the carriage, then climbed on the horse and said, "Let's go."
Mengxin Village was getting farther and farther away, and the trip to southern Xinjiang came to an end.
After walking for most of the day, Su Shaodong said goodbye to them.
"I need to go look for my father. It's not convenient to go in and out of Mengxin Village. I haven't seen him in Southern Xinjiang for so long. You guys go back to Beijing first. After I meet up with my father, we can rush back."
Regarding the matter of Imperial Doctor Tang, Su Shaodong had to talk to his father back then.
Yuan Wanru and the others were in a hurry, so it was inconvenient for them to take a detour with Su Shaodong.
"See you in the capital then."
Su Shaodong has put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. During this period of time, he has also gained a lot in Gu Sect.
There were many rare and precious herbs around Mengxin Village, so he gave some silver to the villagers of Mengxin Village as a deposit and reached a purchasing agreement with them.
In addition, he also took the opportunity to learn some witchcraft. Although it was only the basics, it was still an improvement.
"My little beauty, see you in the capital."
