Chapter 41 Or, the timeline has been postponed?
The woman said sarcastically, "You shameless thing, you seduced and stole my master's things, and I even wronged you."
Unexpectedly, Qi Lin decided to go all out and threw the purse hard on Liu's face.
"Yes, I did those things! I was trying to seduce the prefect so he could stay! It was all thanks to my mother and my brother. If it weren't for them, how could I have ended up like this?"
The people watching the show exclaimed in surprise, she actually did such a thing!
Liu was furious and could not help but slap her twice in the face, saying, "Shut up! How could a girl be so shameless as you?"
Qi Nanfeng couldn't stand it any longer and ran to the backyard, cursing as he went, "Useless thing! Idiot! Stupid!"
Until a group of provincial governors came over shouting and took the woman away. Seeing that she had no way out, the woman still shouted.
"Sir! That woman has my master's stolen money on her. It's a whole bag full of gold leaves and silver notes! Why don't you take it away quickly!"
Before Qi Lin could say anything, the inspectors swung their swords, knocking her unconscious, and then used the hilts of their swords to hook the purse away.
After the farce was over, only her mother Liu could take care of her.
The Qi family has now completely lost its so-called reputation.
Even the servants looked down on their masters.
The people in the Bo's Mansion felt like they were watching a play and were very happy.
Ruan Mian was too lazy to care about those things. Although Ding Cheng had paid the price, there were still many things that had not been resolved.
For example, the food and wages she had on hand, as well as the thick list of names of people who had accepted bribes, made it inconvenient for her to go to Beijing, and there was no one nearby who was particularly trustworthy.
Besides, heavy snow has been falling, and the relief food that Ding Cheng withheld can only sustain the people of Huicheng for a while.
She had to find a way to find someone to go to Kyoto to deliver the letter.
It would be great if I could see the Prime Minister in the city.
But ever since I received help on the road last time, I haven't seen anyone with a gourd wrapped around his waist again.
She didn't know when the heavy snow would stop.
It was obvious that the officials did not want to delay here for too long. After all, if they did not send the people to Wu Heng in time, they would lose a lot of money.
So they immediately waved their whips and ordered a whole team of people to open the road overnight.
If the snow stops tomorrow morning, they will set off immediately.
So none of them had time to rest, but thanks to Ruan Mian, the old couple of the Ruan family could rest at the post station, and there was not much work for others.
On the contrary, the people in the Bo Mansion and the Qi Mansion had endless work to do, especially the people in the Qi Mansion, for whom clearing snow and clearing roads was just a small matter.
There was also work to do, such as moving stones, clearing roads, cleaning the stables and pig pens at the post station, and even cleaning the toilets.
This made Qi Nanfeng so angry that he threw the broom on the spot!
His eyes were bloodshot as he thought about the task assigned by the princess and couldn't wait to carry it out!
Since he gave Ruan Mian chances time and time again, but she refused them and instead made things difficult for their family, don't blame him for being rude!
After late at night, the heavy snow gradually subsided. Ruan Mian looked at the gradually improving weather and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the natural disaster had also been reversed?
Or has the timeline been delayed?
She was not quite sure, after all, her appearance had changed the plot of the original book.
Just as she was thinking about it, Cuizhu seemed to see something incredible and cried out in surprise.
"Girl! Girl!! It's the Young Madam, the Young Madam and Rui Ge'er!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people working in the Ruan Mansion looked in Cuizhu's direction with surprise.
In the dark night, a man was running towards them, holding a child and with an exhausted woman tied behind him.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian felt that the man was very familiar. After getting closer, he found out that it was Guard Liu.
Guard Liu was also very excited to see Ruan Mian, but he didn't have time to say much. He quickly got off his horse and moved Chen's mother and son down with him.
Ruan Qingsong rushed over after hearing the news. The moment he saw his wife and children, his eyes filled with tears. He couldn't wait to hold Chen in his arms and quickly put his cloak on her.
He hurriedly called Aqing to get the small heater.
At this time, Chen's face was haggard, her cheeks were blown by the cold wind, peeling, red and swollen.
Rui Ge'er was even unconscious.
Guard Liu was not in much better condition, but as a man, he was still conscious.
He hurriedly said, "It's a good thing you're here, Madam Ruan. The child is frozen. Is there a doctor here? Or a place to warm up?"
Behind him, Chen pleaded with her in a very weak voice: "Mianmian, hurry up, save Ruige..."
Ruan Mian held Rui Ge'er in his arms and felt his cold body. Without thinking too much, he turned around and ran into the post station with the child.
The officials let her go, after all, Ruan Mian was like their parent who provided them with food and clothing.
She brought Rui Ge to her own room, where the charcoal fire was burning brightly. Cuizhu hurried to boil some hot water and took out some thick clothes from the box.
Ruan Mian had prepared a thick jacket for Rui Ge'er before, and specially sewed a layer of down lining inside the interlayer.
After all, children's resistance is not as good as adults.
Seeing that people were coming to check behind him, Ruan Mian asked Cuizhu to guard the door first.
"If my brothers come over, tell them I'm treating the child and ask them to wait outside."
Cuizhu nodded quickly, and as soon as the door was closed, Ruan Mian placed the brazier near the bed.
He then took off all of Ruige's wet and cold clothes and soaked him in a basin of hot water.
At this time, he was frozen and his heartbeat was extremely weak.
Ruan Mian could only touch the jade bracelet and go to the space to get some spiritual spring water.
As long as he is still alive and is not terminally ill, the spiritual spring water will definitely have some effect.
After feeding the baby, Ruan Mian held the child's arm and waited patiently for a while.
Only when she clearly felt the child's body temperature gradually rising did she finally let go of her worries.
Fortunately, he was just frozen and his pulse was still there.
After soaking for a while, she wrapped the child in a warm down quilt and lit the charcoal fire a little brighter before leaving the room.
"Mianmian! How is Ruige now?"
"Brother Rui, will he be okay? My dear grandson, he's still so young!"
Ruan Mian understood their concerns and went forward to tell them.
"Don't worry, the child is just cold. His body temperature is recovering now and he will wake up soon. Cuizhu, you go in and watch over the child first. Once Rui Ge'er wakes up, let mother and others go in to check on him."
"Where is my sister-in-law now? I'll go see her too."
Ruan Qingsong quickly took her to visit Chen.
Chen had already changed into clean, thick clothes and was wrapped in a fur blanket, warming herself by the fire. Guard Liu was also sitting by the fire. When he saw Ruan Mian coming over, he quickly stood up.
