Chapter 193: How could there be few cruel things that they experienced?
Xie Huaian's eyebrows curved slightly: "You are just doing it on behalf of Madam Qin, what's so cruel about it?"
"Have we not seen more cruel things than this?"
Even though she didn't see it with her own eyes during the exile, she, a woman, was able to keep her family safe, find a shelter during the war, and even lead so many people to live a stable life.
How could there be so little cruelty among them? Just thinking about it, you can imagine the numerous difficulties they went through.
As the night wind began to pick up, Xie Huaian threw his cloak over her, stared at her intently, and spoke frankly. "I know you're not an ordinary woman, and you have secrets you can't share with me, but... those aren't important to me, and I don't care."
"I only care about your safety and happiness. At the same time, I'm also very fortunate that you are smart and capable. Even if I have to leave for a while one day, I don't have to worry every day."
Ruan Mian was moved, and she held his bony wrist with her slender fingers and spoke sincerely.
"Our in-laws are not shackles that bind each other. Adults have their own things to do, and you also have your own ideals and ambitions. If you want to come back someday, I will definitely wait for you."
Xie Huaian's eyes flashed, he took her hand in his hands, put his fingers into hers and clasped them tightly.
But just as he was about to speak, Jiang Dao's angry voice suddenly came from under the roof!
"Why haven't they found out yet?! Did those two losers Jiang Zhen just disappear without a trace?!"
"I just don't believe it. Can two living people really grow wings in Tunan City? No matter what, search the whole city! Don't leave any place untouched!"
"Well... Young Master, the City Lord will come tomorrow to ask for the gift. We haven't found those porcelains yet. Last time, you promised to tell the City Lord the secret of the gold mine. Now that Jiang Zhen is gone, I'm afraid we won't be able to ask him about the gold mine. So... so we..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Dao kicked him away!
"So go find it for me!!!" When he was furious, he suddenly thought of something, grabbed the man's collar and pulled him forward to ask.
"Last time I asked you to check, have you found the whereabouts of those two people who paid a high price for mountain insects?"
It must not be that simple for them to buy mountain insects at such a high price.
But the servant couldn't find out the whereabouts of Ruan Mian and the others, which made Jiang Dao angry: "Go check!!"
Seeing this, Ruan Mian looked at Xie Huaian and whispered.
"Did you hear what I just said? Jiang Dao wants to find Jiang Zhen to inquire about the whereabouts of the gold mine."
Gold mine...
Although Tunan City is located in the interior of Liaolie, it is also within the Longchang Mountain area. Could it be that the gold mine he was talking about was the gold mine in Longchang Mountain?
Xie Huaian teased, "It seems that someone is going to covet your private property."
Ruan Mian smiled calmly, "Sir, don't forget that although Longchang Mountain is large, it is also within Wuheng's territory, which belongs to Dajing. Even if they know where the gold mine is, there is no other way except to mine it privately."
If they were to secretly mine without the knowledge of so many spies, the scale of the operation would naturally not be that large.
In comparison, she was more worried about Qin Sang and his wife.
Jiang Daojia sent more people to search, but the inn was no longer safe. Even though Ruan Mian had given warnings in advance, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
She looked at Xie Huaian and said, "There's no rush for Jiang Dao's affairs, and it's not too late. We can take advantage of the night to move my cousin and his wife to a safe area. It's best to conceal them from others."
She just needed to think about where was safer.
However, Xie Huaian seemed to see through her thoughts and said bluntly: "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
Ruan Mian immediately understood this suggestion.
The two hit it off immediately and planned to move Qin Sang and his wife to Tuji Mansion under the cover of night.
However, just as they left the mansion, they suddenly saw a familiar figure lying at the entrance of the alley.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Anyang's mother.
At this moment, she was spitting blood and crawling on the ground trembling all over, completely different from her appearance a few hours ago.
Ruan Mian looked around, and he and Xie Huaian quickly stepped forward to help him up.
However, the woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on Ruan Mian's clothes.
She frowned and felt the woman's pulse, but it turned out to be a dying pulse... Just as she was about to speak, the woman, with her last breath, pulled out a blueprint from her collar and said, "Heaven wants him to die!"
After sneering, he stuffed the copper key into Ruan Mian's hand.
"My dear, this private vault hides a huge secret, as well as countless gold and silver treasures from my family. Jiang Dao poisoned me, and I am powerless to recover! God allowed you to see me before I... before I die. It is also a kind of... a kind of fate..."
Before she could finish her words, her life force was cut off and she was beyond recovery.
Even though Ruan Mian still wanted to use the spiritual spring water to save her life, he was unable to catch up.
The poison she took was extremely strong, and her health was not good to begin with. She couldn't hold on for long after taking such a strong drug.
Ruan Mian looked at the key in his hand and exchanged a glance with Xie Huaian, seemingly lost in thought.
The two men first dealt with her body and then went to the inn.
On the way, Ruan Mian Yaoshi asked Xie Huaian for his opinion: "What do you think about this, sir?"
Xie Huaian was looking at the blueprint, his brows furrowed. He handed the blueprint to Ruan Mian and said, "Take a look."
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, Ruan Mian was extremely surprised.
"The private vault she was referring to is Longchang Mountain? Isn't this the place where the gold mine is located?"
When she discovered the gold mine, it covered a very large area, and the private vault that the woman drew was also in that area.
It seems that there are really many secrets in Longchang Mountain! !
But it was clearly a gold mine, so why did she say it was her mother's family's private vault?
Xie Huaian also thought of Ruan Mian’s doubts.
He analyzed it clearly and logically, "Just now the woman said there's a huge secret here. Perhaps it's related to my wife's gold mine. If you want, we can go and take a look."
Ruan Mian was amused by his words.
When did the gold mine become hers?
But what he said made sense. Since there were so many doubts and it was closely related to what they were going to do now, didn't Jiang Dao also want to know the location of the gold mine?
We will find out if there are any other secrets in the gold mine besides the treasures.
It just so happened that she also wanted to use this gold mine to teach Jiang Dao a lesson.
So they went to the inn first and moved Qin Sang and his wife to the mansion. It happened that Qin Sang knew a cellar in the mansion where they stored food for the winter.
It's located in a remote area, and now it's early autumn, so there are almost no people walking around there.
At this moment, all the capable servants and guards in the mansion were sent out by Jiang Dao to look for people. The two men didn't have to spend much effort. At Qin Sang's signal, they brought the two people to the cellar.
Just in case, Ruan Mian also gave them two flares. If they encountered any accidents, they could be detonated immediately so that Ruan Mian and the others would be prepared.
But basically nothing will happen tonight.
