...After escaping his predicament, Tang Yi lost his subordinates and his carriage. He was like a fallen nobleman, walking step by step from Huaiyuan back to Baiyang.
Now, seeing Gu Qian, Tang Yi felt much more at ease, as if a reassuring pill had been taken.
"Huaiyuan City has fallen! You must go and save Huaiyuan!" These few words seemed to weigh a ton, and as Tang Yi spoke, his eyes were filled with an intense hatred.
If Huaiyuan is gone, then he won't be able to protect Baiyang either.
"What!" Gu Qian's calm face instantly turned serious.
Qiu Yan echoed this sentiment, "Lord Tang, explain clearly, who attacked and captured Huaiyuan?"
Qiu Dayu and Zhao Yuanyuan, who followed closely behind Tang Yi, also heard what Tang Yi said.
While they were shocked, their eyes were filled with endless worry.
“It was Qiu Dafu, he did it all!” Tang Yi’s eyes were complicated when Qiu Dafu was mentioned.
Seeing is believing, and he trusted his own eyes.
Moreover, the hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable!
Even though Qiu Dafu saved him yesterday, Tang Yi still couldn't let go of his prejudice against him.
"Impossible!" Qiu Yan looked at Tang Yi again, her gaze turning hostile.
She knew her second uncle best; though he was stern and rarely smiled, he was a man of principle.
She would rather believe in ghosts than believe that her second uncle would conquer cities and seize territory.
Gu Qian, of course, didn't believe it either; besieging a city required an army. "Lord Tang, you must speak with concrete evidence!"
Tang Yi knew that Qiu Yan and Gu Qian wouldn't believe him. He emphasized, "Yesterday, I personally witnessed those thugs obeying Qiu Dafu's orders. How could it be false!"
"You're talking nonsense! My second brother doesn't have that kind of ability!" Qiu Dayu said angrily, taking a step forward and grabbing Tang Yiqian's collar, as if he was about to throw a punch.
He absolutely would not allow Tang Yi to frame his second brother like this.
Zhao Yuanyuan was startled and quickly grabbed Qiu Dayu. Qiu Dayu was known for causing trouble, and Tang Yi was the county magistrate, so he couldn't be offended.
Qiu Dayu's appearance caused Tang Yi's already swaying body to lean backward instantly.
Gu Qian reached out and supported Tang Yi's shoulder, then shook his head at Qiu Dayu.
With Gu Qian's help, Tang Yi's condition stabilized, and he stood up straight again, coldly watching Qiu Dayu.
This Qiu family is utterly lawless; not a single one of them respects him, the county magistrate. "Whether it's true or not, you'll find out when you go!"
Qiu Yan: "Uncle, the innocent will clear themselves."
Gu Qian pulled Qiu Dayu aside, "Do me a favor, go back to the village."
He whispered a few words in Qiu Dayu's ear, and Qiu Dayu nodded quickly before disappearing completely.
Zhao Yuanyuan followed closely behind, but Qiu Dayu persuaded her to return to work at the clothing store.
Qiu Yan didn't intend to say anything more to Tang Yi and jumped onto the carriage. "Gu Qian, let's go!"
"Okay!" Gu Qian was also eager and jumped into the car.
Tang Yi grabbed the carriage shaft and pressed Qiu Yan for an answer: "Where exactly is Liu'er?"
He discovered that, apart from Qiu Yan, he had no idea who Jiang Liu had been close to before.
It was his oversight.
"She went back to her parents' home," Qiu Yan said truthfully.
"You went back to...your parents' home?" Ever since learning about Huaiyuan's accident, the first thing Tang Yi did upon returning was to find Jiang Liu and tell her that Qiu Dafu was not a good man and she should not marry him.
Little did she know, she was in Huaiyuan at that moment.
Wouldn't that be too dangerous?
“Wait, Qiu Yan…” He had something else to say.
However, in the moment he was stunned, the carriage had already gone far away.
As soon as the carriage left Huaiyuan, Gu Qian's first words were: "Yan Yan, I'll take you home."
He didn't want Qiu Yan to go into danger.
"Don't forget, I'm the one going to Huaiyuan."
...In the end, Gu Qian was unable to send Qiu Yan back.
