Chapter 134 What happened?
"Please spare me, General, please spare me! There must be a ghost here. Those things have disappeared..."
Ruan Mian patted the white tiger's butt and left with the treasures full of treasures.
This extra wealth can become a good "capital".
But this is not a mausoleum. If what Bai Lun said is true, there might be an even bigger treasure trove underground?
…
The next day.
Ruan Mian, who was returning to his house from the Saltpeter Garden, heard that Xie Huaian had returned, so he wanted to go find him to express his condolences.
However, before she had taken two steps, Cuizhu suddenly ran to her side and called her breathlessly.
"girl!"
"What happened?" Seeing her in a hurry, Ruan Mian thought something big had happened.
Cuizhu shook her head and explained, "I just heard some news and I came to tell you!"
"Just now I heard from the people in the baron's house that someone saw a female corpse on the way to excavate the tuff. It was so rotten that it was unrecognizable! The face was unrecognizable at all."
"Someone recognized the clothes worn by the female corpse as those of Concubine Ruan."
Hearing this, Ruan Mian frowned slightly: "You mean, the person who died was Ruan Jiao?"
Cuizhu nodded vigorously, "That's right! Ever since you used your trick last time and made that old woman Qi confess that Concubine Ruan and Qi Nanfeng were having an affair, she was punished by Madam Wang after she returned to the Earl's Mansion."
"I heard that she couldn't bear the humiliation and ran away secretly, and never came back."
Thinking about it carefully, Ruan Mian had indeed not seen Ruan Jiao since that day.
I thought she had been behaving well for a while, but I didn't expect her to run away.
"Girl, how could a woman like her escape in this desolate wilderness? The man who found the body said that her body was covered with marks from wild beasts. If she had been there any later, she would probably have been nothing but bones."
Although Cuizhu said so, Ruan Mian still felt that something was wrong.
"The weather is still cold. Even if she was killed, she wouldn't be so rotten that her face is unrecognizable."
Maybe there is another reason?
However, she didn't take Ruan Jiao seriously, and her life or death had nothing to do with her now.
So Ruan Mian didn't think too much about it, just gave up and went to find Xie Huaian.
Little did she know that Ruan Jiao was not dead at this time, just as she had guessed.
Instead, he entered Lan Qiang's military camp and met Mr. Li Erye.
…
On the other side, just as Ruan Mian arrived at the door of Xie Huaian's house, he heard his violent coughing coming from inside the house.
Just as she was about to enter the house, she heard the voices of several children again.
"Mr. Xie, are you okay?"
"Mr. Xie, please take a rest!"
Ruan Mian walked in curiously, and found that the first thing Xie Huaian did when he came back was to take the children to read.
Seeing her coming, the leader Rui Ge'er hurriedly ran to Ruan Mian to "complain".
"Aunt, please try to persuade the teacher. He is so sick but still wants to watch over us and study. His health is more important!"
Ruan Mian laughed, met Xie Huaian's gaze helplessly, and tried to persuade him in the same way.
"Mr. Xie, can you hear what the students said? Your health is very important."
This time he wasn't pretending, but was actually injured.
Ruan Mian first dismissed the children, and then asked Cuizhu to get her medicine box so that she could diagnose him personally.
Unexpectedly, he had a high fever, and when I was preparing medicine for him, I mentioned Han Ling by the way.
However, the matter of the treasure was not mentioned for fear of unnecessary complications.
"Sir, there's something I haven't had time to tell you. When I was escorting General Huo out of the cave that day, I saw two people in the forest along the way."
Hearing this, Xie Huaian turned his head and looked at her in confusion.
"I heard that one of them was a general of the Lanqiang Army, and the other one was called Han Ling. He was the reinforcement that General Huo wanted to call for."
Seeing Xie Huaian's eyes droop, she pretended to be relieved.
"This shows that Han Ling is colluding with the Lanqiang enemy. General Huo must be informed of this so that he can be prepared at all times."
As she was speaking, Xie Huaian suddenly looked up and looked at her: "Are you okay? Did they not find you?"
Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that his first reaction was to care about her.
"I'm fine. They didn't find me. Fortunately, that place is far away from us."
"But... we have no way to retreat now. If they really come to us, we will have no choice but to fight to the death. It will be either them or us who will die."
"You see, I always carry my weapon."
She showed her dagger and the purse she carried with her, which contained some hidden weapons.
Seeing this, Xie Huaian laughed: "I find that you are not only brave, but also open-minded."
After saying that, he couldn't help coughing again. Ruan Mian hurried forward to help him calm down and patted him on the back.
However, this slap actually caused his body to tremble subconsciously.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian immediately noticed that there was a wound on his back, and blood was even oozing out.
So I wanted to check it out.
Xie Huaian quickly grabbed his clothes: "Mianmian, it's unreasonable for you to strip me like this, not to mention that these are just minor injuries."
"You're the injured patient, and I'm the doctor. Why would I be so unreasonable in examining your wounds? Besides, this isn't the first time I've examined your body, so why are you being so reserved now?"
Thinking back to that time, Lord Xie walked towards me calmly in the hot spring, with nothing on his upper body and no movement at all.
What's there to be reserved about now?
As he said this, he opened his clothes.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Qingsong ran into the house, followed by Zhang, Meixi, Nanny Fang and others.
At first glance, they saw that Ruan Mian seemed to be molesting Lord Xie, and Ruan Mian's words broke into their ears.
Everyone was stunned.
"Mian...Mianmian, you guys..."
It was Xie Huaian who came to his senses first. He immediately put on his clothes and greeted Zhang in a proper manner.
"Greetings, Madam, Brother Ruan. Please don't misunderstand me. Madam Ruan was so heartbroken just now that she..."
Zhang restrained her expression and quickly changed the subject: "It's okay, it's okay, Mianmian, when you're done here, go check on Jing Ge'er."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian didn't bother to explain: "What happened to Jing'er?"
Ruan Jing was her nephew whom she delivered personally. Apart from some minor baby problems, he was very healthy when he was born.
Zhang's face was filled with worry. "Today I noticed that Jing'er's yellowing is getting worse. Although it's not surprising that a child is born with this problem, Jing'er has been born for several days, and not only has the yellowing not faded, it's gotten worse!"
"You've been busy with road construction these past few days, so I didn't dare disturb you, thinking I'd wait and see. But today... I really can't wait any longer. Mianmian, go and take a look."
It seems that Brother Jing has quite severe jaundice.
In the first few days after birth, the baby got all the sun he needed and drank all the breast milk he needed, so he lacked all the nutrients.
