Chapter 63 Jealousy and Motherly Love
Among the supervisors sent by Feng Kun, there was Feng Qian, which was actually a small pleasant surprise.
The last time in Lingzhou Camp, Gu Wan was stopped from entering. If Feng Qian hadn't run up to confirm and speak out loudly as soon as she heard her shout, it's hard to say what the final result would have been.
Gu Wan was surprised for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to thank him, "Thank you so much for last time! Fortunately, you reacted quickly, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."
As they were talking, everyone in the village came out after hearing the news. When Qin Ying heard it, she hurried forward and thanked Feng Qian together.
The fair-skinned young man smiled, revealing two small dimples. He quickly waved his hand, "I'm a coroner. Isn't this what I'm supposed to do?"
He had only just learned about Gu Wan today. He quickly pulled out the booklet he had brought with him and opened it. It was filled with densely written notes. He felt a little embarrassed. "Qin, no, Miss Gu, can I ask you something? Don't you know why the fingernails of people who drown should be covered in river sand and mud? Why do I see them so clean?"
Gu Wan glanced down. Wow, she was so attentive. The ink, both new and old, covered a long page of detailed comparisons of symptoms, with two small words at the end: "To be explained." The next page dealt with the fist-fighting condition, already including the reasons she'd mentioned previously. Feng Qian had definitely researched it further, adding a number of her own practical notes.
"Oh, that's because they're in a near-death state. Excluding clean water, if the deceased drowned in a deep coma, there would be no signs of struggle, and naturally no mud or sand on the nails. However, their face and lungs would still show signs of drowning, which is relatively rare. Otherwise, there would definitely be mud and sand and other underwater debris."
Gu Wanqi: "Hey, aren't you the Chief Justice? Why are you here this time?"
Feng Qian quickly took out a pen and began to write, her shoulders slumping. "I've been transferred to the Dali Temple."
Being a coroner was just his personal interest. He had only been in the position of Chief Justice for a short time before being transferred to the Dali Temple, which was responsible for examining and refuting cases and reviewing national cases.
So that's how it is. Gu Wan and Qin Ying looked at each other, and Qin Ying said gratefully, "No matter what, I have to thank you."
Qin Guan also clasped his fists and saluted Feng Qian.
This time, Qin Guan followed Xie Ci to Zhongdu, while Qin Yong followed Qin Xian back. One of the brothers had to stay to assist Qin Xian.
Feng Qian quickly jumped up, returned the greeting, and waved her hand: "No need, no need. It's my job."
"This nephew Feng Kun doesn't look like him at all."
Li Yi also came out and raised his eyebrows.
By the pond not far away, Gu Guan, Qin Ying and Feng Qian were talking and laughing. The fair-skinned young man was shy and gentle, a little embarrassed, but he still seized the opportunity to ask Gu Guan for advice, and they laughed from time to time.
Xie Ci's face looked unhappy. He thought to himself that among all the young masters in Zhongdu, the only one who met the requirements seemed to be Feng Qian.
He identified himself almost immediately.
He thought of many ways to comfort Gu Wan, but the real person suddenly stood in front of him. When the rivals met, he found that it was not so easy. He could not express much gratitude, but his mood immediately turned from sunny to cloudy. He was jealous and felt gloomy. Fortunately, looking at Gu Wan's reaction, it was as if they were meeting for the first time, so he was able to comfort himself reluctantly.
Xie Ci couldn't go over there either. Besides Feng Qian, there were several other people who arrived together, including Li Wang, whom they knew. They all dismounted. Xie Ci had to suppress his displeasure, adjust his expression, and entertain others with Li Yi.
It was obvious that Feng Qian really enjoyed being a coroner. He had already asked many other people questions and kept a lot of old and new notes. Even though he was no longer a judicial officer, he hadn't given up on it. After solving several problems that had troubled him for a long time, he smiled happily, "Miss Gu! Thank you so much!"
"No, no, it's just a piece of cake for me."
Under the moonlight, the fair-skinned young man's eyes smiled into two brilliant crescents. Gu Wan glanced at Li Wang and his companions, who were being led into the manor by Li Yi after a brief exchange of greetings. She asked tentatively, "What a crowd! It seems Zheng Shoufang has offended our Prime Minister Feng quite a bit! Hey, do you know what Prime Minister Feng is planning?"
"I don't know."
Feng Qian shook his head honestly. He paused, hesitated, and whispered to them, "But you must do it this time!"
Gu Wan turned around and looked at Xie Ci.
Xie Ci was standing on the steps at the gate. Feng Qian also turned around and saw Xie Ci looking at him. He smiled and nodded at him.
Under the moonlight, the young man had fair and smooth skin, and his mouth and nose had a little shadow of Feng Kun, but his eyes were smiling peach blossom eyes, not misty but bright. His temperament and appearance were completely different from Feng Kun. He was a shy and warm young man, and his clear smile and eyes seemed to shine in the moonlight.
It was very pretty, but Xie Ci found it hideous. He just twitched his lips and pretended to smile.
Xie Ci seized the opportunity and said to Gu Wan, "Why don't you go and pack your things with your mother and brother? We might leave tomorrow."
"Okay, let's talk about it another day. Mr. Feng, you should go to bed early."
Qin Ying said, "You go, I'll lead Master Feng to the wing room."
Feng Qian quickly stood up: "Oh, you can just call me Feng Qian, Miss Gu, please feel free to do so, you're welcome..."
So Gu Guan patted his butt and left.
After she left, Xie Ci's smile faded. He stared coldly at Feng Qian, who was talking to Qin Ying. He found that the more he looked at her, the more he disliked her. Humph, do I need him to say it? Of course he knew he had to do it.
"I'm just lucky."
Xie Ci withdrew his gaze indifferently and snorted coldly.
…
Now Xie Ci actually didn't feel like laughing much. As soon as Gu Wan left, the fluctuating emotions in his heart also disappeared. Qin Ying waved, and Xie Ci suppressed his displeasure and took two steps forward, taking Feng Qian and the laughing Qin Ying into the manor.
After exchanging pleasantries, he escorted these people into the courtyard that had just been vacated. He stood in the night wind for a moment, then turned around and quickly walked out of the guest house.
Unexpectedly, just as he went out, a person emerged from the bushes under the willow tree. He was wearing a brown coat and short boots, and his figure was as slender and graceful as a summer willow. It was Gu Wan. Gu Wan swept away his previous enthusiasm and joy, secretly glanced into the yard, tugged at Xie Ci's sleeve, and pointed to the corridor on the other side: "Sister Ying went to call Li Yi."
Just kidding, of course Gu Guan wouldn't be confused just because of a pair of eyes, he is Feng Kun's nephew!
Although he did help them, they should be grateful and also be on guard. They don't know Feng Kun's intentions yet, so how can they feel at ease?
At most she can take care of him appropriately, but I guess he doesn't need her care.
Gu Guan kept looking back, muttering to himself, and tiptoed back the way he came. He walked a long way before straightening his body.
The two of them walked side by side naturally, and Xie Ci finally felt a little relieved.
He wanted to ask, but the small village was not big, and in just a short while, he had turned into the small courtyard in the north.
Xie Ci could only shut up.
They hadn't been here during the day to discuss matters, but now that seven or eight of Feng Kun's men had arrived, they naturally moved. Xie Ping, Zheng Ying, and the others cleaned up overnight, even covering the windows with black cloth from the inside, making it look no different from any other house.
Xie Ci sat down and immediately asked, "Are the carriages and horses ready?"
Xie Ping immediately bowed and said, "Master, everything is ready!"
Gu Wan said, "I've already asked them to rest, which means they might leave early tomorrow morning."
Xie Ci instructed Xie Yun and Xie Ping, "You two don't need to worry about anything else. If necessary, carry them both on your backs immediately."
Xie Yun and Xie Ping: "Yes!"
Li Yi was not seen for a while during the day because he went to make arrangements at home. He and Yu Manzhen already had an eldest daughter, so no matter what, he had to make arrangements for the child first.
Gu Guan's excuse was that Xu had finally found her daughter and she insisted on staying with her, so Gu Guan was reluctant to refuse.
They did so much mainly because they still didn't know the purpose behind Feng Kun's targeting of Zheng Shoufang. Qin Ying and Xie Ci didn't even send a reply letter to the Xie family, but Xu's mother and son were obviously helpless and could only wait and see on the road to see if there was a chance to send him away quietly.
But it should not be safe, and it does not make me feel at ease.
By doing so much, they are actually making every effort to prevent Feng Kun from using artificial means to control them in the future.
Not long after, Li Yi and others pushed open the door and slipped in.
Li Yi wasted no time: "The latest news from the palace and the court has arrived." He had been working non-stop all day, "This case must be thoroughly investigated."
There was little controversy. As soon as Feng Kun and his entourage, representing the end of the war in the north, arrived in Zhongdu, someone immediately brought up this major case during the evening court session. Normally, the evening court session would be held at noon, but the old emperor was ill and unable to rise so early, so the morning court session was moved to noon and the evening court session to 12:00. These were all minor court sessions; the emperor no longer held major court sessions.
The three major warehouses in Jiangjia accounted for almost one-fifth of the grain in the entire Jiangnan region. There was no need to dispute the fact that they needed to be thoroughly investigated. The court decided on this matter and determined the people to conduct a thorough investigation.
"There are a lot of people here. Besides us, there are also Lin Guozhang and His Majesty's people."
Three groups of people headed south immediately.
"Zheng Shoufang was among them. He arrived in the capital the day before yesterday and was summoned to the palace for two consecutive days. When he came out, my people clearly saw that he had injuries on his face."
When it comes to intelligence in the capital, of course, the person who has worked in the capital for many years is Li Yishang. "It seems that His Majesty is furious."
What Zheng Shoufang and his brothers did was definitely a deception to their superiors and subordinates. They might have been thinking of collecting grain from the people after the autumn harvest and moving it back. With the autumn harvest taxes, there would be grain in the warehouse again, and one third would be enough for circulation.
Who knew that the Northwest War would come so quickly and on such a large scale, and the amount of food and wages requisitioned would be so huge that five lids could not cover ten bowls, and it was exposed in an instant.
Li Yi tapped the table with his index finger and looked around at everyone. After saying so much, his last sentence was the key point: "Zheng Shoufang must be very important to the emperor!"
Li Yi had just learned a few days ago that Zheng Shoufang was the head of the internal guards, and he immediately recalled many clues of past events.
The Zheng family is a family of leaders of the internal guards. Their successive generations have reached the level of being the princess's descendant. The interests of the Zheng family are highly tied to the royal family. Everyone may betray the emperor and join the powerful party, but the Zheng family is absolutely not allowed to do so. This is a sword that the old emperor can use with confidence.
In addition, the fact that the old emperor placed Zheng Shoufang in the Northern Army and gave him the task of finding a way out to thank Xinzhong shows that Zheng Shoufang held an important position in the Royal Guards and under the old emperor.
The old emperor was furious for two consecutive days, and Zheng Shoufang was still injured, which proved that the old emperor could not let him die and had to protect Zheng Shoufang!
Xie Ci raised his eyes and exchanged glances with Li Yi. His expression was gloomy, and he had obviously also thought of Xie Xinzhong. Xie Ci said coldly, "So, he will let Zheng Shoufang clean up the mess in the end!"
As one of the three officials and generals who went south, Zheng Shoufang almost immediately confirmed Xie Ci's judgment.
"Zheng Shoufang will definitely arrive as quickly as possible and destroy the key evidence!"
Xie Ci stood up suddenly: "So, we have to be quick!"
…
The battle for evidence in Jiangnan came swiftly and fiercely.
In the dark night, the three words "Zheng Shoufang" rolled over his lips and teeth, exuding a rusty and bloody taste.
That night, Xie Ci took a short nap and got up at three o'clock in the morning. Gu Guan carefully described the disguise for him. He put on armor and mounted his horse with Li Yi, Feng Qian and other people who had received the imperial order and set off before dawn. After they rushed to the Ministry of Justice to report for duty, the imperial envoys immediately set out from the capital.
Gu Wan quickly packed up his horse and got on the carriage, waiting to meet them on the official road.
In such an atmosphere, Xu was a little nervous, but she didn't say anything and held Gu Wan's hand tightly. The little boy nervously grabbed the corner of Xu's clothes.
In the darkness of dawn, Xie Ci and others disappeared outside the manor gate on horseback. Gu Guan watched them go and quickly walked out of the manor gate, sending Xu and the little boy to the carriage. The horses' hooves were galloping in the dark night. Xu climbed up nervously and squeezed Gu Guan's hand, but she didn't say anything. She quickly let go and pulled the little boy into the carriage.
Gu Wan jumped on the horse and said, "Let's go!"
The group brought a carriage with them, and the small village was deserted. When Feng Kun found out, he just smiled faintly and said, "If you want to take it, take it with you."
The journey south was very tight. After reuniting, they rode at full speed on horseback, traveling by land and water, and arrived in Ningzhou in eight days.
Ningzhou was the secondary capital of the Wei Dynasty. The river flowed back to the city, and red buildings stood on both sides of the river. There is no need to say much about the beauty and prosperity of the Jiangnan water town. On the day the inspection envoys arrived in Ningzhou, they went straight to the Ningzhou warehouse.
The Ningzhou Granary is several times larger than the Yunbei Granary. It is a huge granary as big as a small city. It is filled with large brick and stone granaries with round conical roofs, all used to store grain. It is very shocking.
It was only on the road that Gu Wan and his companions learned that the Jiangnan granaries had always been full. The reason the northern disaster relief grain was so stretched was because the imperial court was holding back. To appease the border commanders and for various reasons, including the collapse of the military system, the various northern protectorates had been forced to gradually consolidate their power. The imperial court, in its quest to control them, had adopted the principle of raising snails in shallow water and not starving them to death. They were tightly controlled, maintaining sufficient combat power while also preventing the border areas from enjoying any relief.
After knowing the truth, He Yuan and He Rong were so angry that their eyes turned red and their indignation was beyond words. Qin Guan and others also had heavy and angry expressions on their faces.
I won’t talk about these irrelevant things. Anyway, these super grain cities used to be full, but now they are empty.
The imperial envoy was Yi Zhongling, the Minister of Justice and Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace. He was a man who was loyal to his country and his people. The old man's face was ashen. He walked around the warehouse and was furious. "Return to the government office immediately and bring up all the files!"
But Xie Ci was very sharp in noticing: "Zheng Shoufang is missing!"
He was here just now, but when I turned around, he was gone.
Li Yi immediately stepped forward to ask, and it turned out that Zheng Shoufang had taken sick leave and disappeared with a few confidants.
——After reading the files, I realized that Zheng Shouzhu was only an indirect suspect and there was no evidence, so he was only temporarily dismissed from his post and allowed to stay at home. He was not allowed to leave Ningzhou and was not detained in prison.
Xie Ci rushed out like lightning, scanning the gate and the road ahead as quickly as possible. He quickly asked the hurried gatekeeper, "Did you see the general in ochre armor leave?"
He said hastily and listlessly, "There is no one here, no one has walked by."
Xie Ci threw a silver ingot, and the answer was the same. Clearly, Zheng Shoufang hadn't gone through the main gate. He'd been prepared, taking advantage of the iron rule that outsiders were forbidden to enter the warehouse and the densely packed tapered warehouses. He'd escaped immediately upon reaching Ningzhou!
Xie Ci walked quickly around the walled city and keenly found some traces, but he quickly caught up and only found a few horses!
Li Yi found it right after him: "I can't find it inside!"
The two men's faces were ashen. Following the open troops and investigating this case were greatly hindered by various constraints. They could not openly send people to follow Zheng Shoufang for twelve hours, and secret spies would not be very effective in this situation.
Gu Wan and the others had no official positions, so the guards were not allowed to enter. So they waited outside the warehouse city. The two groups of people hurriedly caught up with them and asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
Everyone was extremely anxious. Zheng Shoufang's reckless attitude clearly showed that he wanted to destroy the evidence involving him as quickly as possible!
"Where's Zheng Shouzhu?"
Xie Ci and Li Yi had already sent someone to gallop south to Zheng Shouzhu's official residence. Ling Yun, who was with Xie Zi and Li Yi, had just returned from the city, panting heavily. "The Zheng Shouzhu in the Zheng Mansion is fake! When we arrived, he was gone!"
I don’t know where Zheng Shouzhu is hiding!
"They are internal guards, and some of them have the means to communicate with each other!"
Li Yi gritted his teeth!
But once this special identity was revealed and it was said that he was going to carry out a special mission, even Yi Zhongling was helpless.
Even Feng Qian and Li Wang's expressions changed drastically. Li Wang quickly turned around and said, "I'm going to the city to mobilize people!"
Mobilize Feng Kun's party.
“But it may be too late.”
The group had a quick discussion, and the remaining few people who came with Feng Kun returned to Liangcheng to monitor the situation of the imperial envoys at any time. Li Yi, Xie Ci and others immediately followed Li Wang.
The waiting process was extremely long. Li Yi and Xie Ci both looked gloomy. Feng Qian had just breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately brought it up again. It made sense. It was difficult for outsiders to investigate and find the person involved, but the person involved could be targeted accurately. Many things that Zheng Shouzhu was unable to do could be solved immediately once Zheng Shoufang arrived.
If Zheng Shoufang can't clean up this mess, he will die. He must do his best as quickly as possible!
Xie Ci said, "The most important thing now is Zheng Shouzhu and the evidence!"
Li Yi and some of the people who could be contacted from the Xie family have all started moving at full speed, but it is obvious that they are definitely one step behind Zheng Shoufang.
Li Yi kept pacing in the room. Xie Yun came back, and Xie Ci went out for a while. Gu Wan immediately followed him out and pulled him: "I have an idea, wait for me!"
If Yu Manzhen doesn't need it now, when will she use it?!
Yu Manzhen has been following Li Yi around and is also at the scene now. Now Gu Guan is very close to her. When the two first met, Gu Guan leaned over and warned her in her ear. Yu Manzhen was shocked and angry but did not dare to move.
Gu Guan walked into the house and gave Yu Manzhen a wink.
Yu Manzhen gritted her teeth, but dared not disobey.
The two women walked quickly to the toilet, and Gu Wan rushed to their faces, "Hurry up and tell me, I know you know the general situation of Zheng Shouzhu and you have evidence!"
In his previous life, Li Yi suffered a great loss. Later, he killed Zheng Shoufang and his brothers by using the original Jiangnan Grain City case, and he used the same method to retaliate against them.
Yu Manzhen has been with Li Yi both in the early and later stages, so she must know a lot.
Yu Manzhen almost hissed, "Ahhh, can you please let me go? I don't know, I don't know anything!"
She was horrified. How could Gu Qie know about the Jiangnan Grain City case? She was shocked and angry, almost collapsing. Her eyes were blazing and she stared at Gu Wan with extreme fear.
Gu Wan dealt with her in one sentence, "If you don't tell me, I'll let Li Yi tell you."
"Hurry up and tell me! If you tell me, I'll say it's from my channel!"
Yu Manzhen was filled with hatred, gritting her teeth. She had to say, "...Zheng Shouzhu should be hiding in a flower boat on the Xiaoqinhuai River in Ruping. The original account book evidence has a backup. It was a man named Sima Rong, the warehouse supervisor. He was worried that if the incident was exposed, he would be blamed for all the crimes and his entire family would be executed. Therefore, he prepared a backup copy of all the account books and evidence of Zheng Shouzhu's dealings!"
"He is from Ruping County. Zheng Shouzhu must have gone to plunder Sima Rong!"
Yu Manzhen was extremely frightened when traveling with Gu Wan during this period. She had actually hesitated whether to say it or not, but she did not mention this option. She had just been tricked by Gu Wan, so how could she dare to move?
Gu Guan had no interest in understanding Yu Manzhen's mood at all. As soon as he got the accurate information, he ran away with a "whoosh".
"Second sister-in-law just got news that Zheng Shouzhu is hiding in a flower boat on the Qinhuai River in Ruping!"
"There's also the account book evidence! It's in the hands of a prison warden named Sima Rong!"
Gu Wan rushed into the house quickly and immediately spoke loudly.
Everyone in the room stood up at once!
…
What we have to do now is to race against time and see who is faster between them and Zheng Shoufang!
Li Yi rushed out of the door like lightning and ordered Ling Yun: "Go find Li Wang and inform him immediately!"
Xie Ci and the others had already jumped out of the window. At this extremely urgent moment, even the horses were not fast enough. Everyone gathered their energy and rushed out like lightning.
Xie Ci spoke very quickly, and Qin Guan and the others had a hard time following him. Feng Qian was so anxious that she tripped and fell, with her front teeth covered in blood.
However, the situation was urgent and Li Wang and others were not there, so there was no one to take him with him.
Xie Ci glanced at him, showing no intention of saving him at all, and then Feng Qian fell to the ground.
"It's useless, I just have a lucky life."
Xie Ci said coldly.
On the surface, these thanks seemed insignificant, but he kept waiting for the opportunity to trick Feng Qian.
Gu Wan: “…”
"You go first!"
Gu Wan was completely defeated by him. He pushed his hand away and quickly turned back to help Feng Qian. "Are you okay?"
Won't you break your teeth?
Feng Qian quickly looked up: "It's okay, it's okay, I was just careless and broke a little skin!"
Qin Ying came back over the courtyard wall, panting heavily. Gu Wan quickly waved, "Second sister-in-law!"
She and Qin Ying were on either side of Feng Qian, who had a mouth full of blood, but she was not fast enough, so she quickly asked Xie Zi to come.
His waist tightened, and Xie Ci turned around and came back to take her.
Gu Wan said to him angrily, "Hurry up! Hurry up--"
The group rushed to the dock as fast as possible, jumped onto a boat, threw down large ingots of silver, and headed straight for Ruping at the fastest speed.
They can't even worry about covering their tracks now, everything has to be done quickly!
…
A pursuit and bloody strangulation soon unfolded.
At this moment, Zheng Shoufang has arrived in Ruping.
Ruping is a county under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou, very close to Ningzhou. The Qinhuai River flows through here, and its tributaries flow into the city of Ruping. The night is dotted with lights, pleasure boats sway with the waves, and the sounds of colorful lights and birdsong are endless.
It was just evening, and the lanterns on the pleasure boats were just being lit one after another, but the excitement had not yet begun.
On a derelict pleasure boat inhabited by servants and maids, Zheng Shoufang was furious: "Do you have any brains at all? You emptied the entire warehouse! Are you really tired of living?!"
Zheng Shoufang was almost mad with anger.
Ever since he learned about this, he has been furious and wants to draw his sword and chop this idiot to death right away!
In fact, Zheng Shouzhu was not really stupid, otherwise Zheng Shoufang would not have let him do this. He was just too greedy. He grew bolder year after year. He used to have only one-third of his food left, but in the end, he had less and less, until only some was left to cover his face. But he hit a wall!
Zheng Shouzhu squatted down and held his head in his hands, not daring to say a word. Zheng Shoufang still had powder on her face because the bruises on her face had not completely disappeared.
Zheng Shoufang kicked Zheng Shouzhu hard, but had to clean up the mess immediately: "Speak, speak quickly! Pick out the important things and tell me clearly right away!"
Zheng Shouzhu quickly said, "Brother! There's another account book. That damn Sima Rong actually dared to secretly back it up and save it as evidence. He's already fled back to his hometown in Ruping! He might have hidden in the mountains from Sima Village!"
However, at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside. It was Zheng Shoufang's confidant who called out, "Oh no, sir! Li Yi and Xie Ci are heading straight for Ruping! They've split into two groups. One group is sailing downstream towards our pleasure boat, while the other group disembarked halfway and headed straight over the mountain!"
It is very windy today, the sunset has been completely obscured by the gray clouds, and a heavy autumn rain is about to come!
In an instant, the gloomy man with a hooked nose was horrified. Zheng Shoufang's face suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
The river breeze was blowing, and the heat of the autumn tiger poured into the dim cabin through the wide-open window. Zheng Shoufang's heart felt cold and hot at the same time, and all his anger turned into cold sweat at this moment. He knew very well what would happen to him if he couldn't clean up this mess!
Zheng Shoufang's eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with an unprecedented murderous intent almost instantly!
"None of these people can survive!"
He snapped!
"Zheng Hong and Zheng Shou, the two of you lead your men there! Spare no expense! Make sure to kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Anyone who might know Sima Rong will not survive.
Zheng Shoufang's eyes swept across Zheng Shouzhu and several of his confidants, and with a "swish", a snow-white knife flashed, and the four people behind Zheng Shouzhu all fell to the ground.
He was extremely angry: "It's okay that the master is confused, but he didn't try to persuade me, let alone inform me! What's the use of you——"
"Idiot, why don't you leave!!"
Zheng Shoufang kicked Zheng Shouzhu in anger, turned around suddenly and headed straight for Sima Zhuang!
…
Rumbling thunder.
The strangulation came so suddenly and unexpectedly.
The Zheng brothers actually had more internal security experts than Xie Ci and Li Yi had expected.
Blood splattered all over Gu Guan's head and face. Gu Guan said to Xie Ci, "You guys go first! I'll go find a place for my mother!"
It’s no use. The strangulation was too fierce and the other side had so many people. She was afraid that her original position was no longer safe.
Xie Ci turned around and said, "Take Xie Feng and the others with you!!"
His pair of dark pupils reflected the night and the blood, but when he turned around, he couldn't hide his eyes full of worries, and the two little girls were clearly reflected in them.
For a moment, Gu Wan's heart was filled with emotions. She had deep feelings for Xie Ci, but it had not developed into love. But at this moment, all kinds of emotions came together, and she suddenly felt moved.
Gu Wan said okay, and she suddenly took a step forward and touched his cheek with her face, "You must be careful."
You must protect yourself!
Gu Guan turned around and Xie Feng and others followed quickly. Xie Ci gave her all the people around him, leaving him alone, so she had to come back quickly.
As the wind blew, Xie Ci felt a slight warmth on his cheek.
She left in an instant and walked away quickly.
He touched his face, looked up hurriedly, turned around and walked away after a moment, then turned back again. He didn't turn around and leave until her back completely disappeared.
…
Xu's mother and son were temporarily placed in a half-worn black-sailed boat, and Xie Yun and Xie Ping followed.
When the three heard the footsteps, they rushed out
Gu Guan was anxious and had injured his knee again. When he stepped onto the side of the boat, he tripped and fell forward.
Xu rushed forward.
She was a woman who didn't know martial arts, but at this moment she was actually a little faster than Xie Yun and Xie Ping.
But she was too impatient and fell heavily to her knees on the deck with a bang, but she held Gu Wan up.
Xie Yun, Xie Ping and Gu Wan were all stunned for a moment.
Gu Guan suddenly looked up. The eyes of mother and daughter were very close, and Gu Guan could see very clearly the anxiety and love hidden in Xu's eyes.
Gu Wan didn't fall, and her anxiety faded away, and a moment of joy emerged.
If I were to describe this joy, it would probably be the relief and happiness that comes naturally when a mother catches her fallen child in time.
But the next moment, Xu noticed that her head and body were covered in blood and was horrified. Gu Wan hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. This isn't my blood."
The night was pitch black, the boat rocked gently, and the evening breeze had already brought a chill. Just as the two were about to get up, Xu suddenly whispered, "Please don't be angry with your mother, okay?"
At this moment, the two of them were still looking at each other very closely, close enough that they could see the patterns in each other's pupils and feel each other's breathing. Xu's eyes suddenly turned slightly red, and she said this in a low voice.
——In fact, Gu Wan was smiling the whole time. She answered all the questions asked by Xu carefully and asked about Xu's recent situation, daily life and diet one by one. She helped Xu get in and out of the car and behaved very conscientiously.
But Xu was able to sensitively realize that Gu Wan no longer had feelings for her.
Gu Wan couldn't help but be stunned. Could Xu feel it? In fact, since their first misunderstanding a few days ago, she didn't say it, but she actually felt that there was trouble in her heart.
She was stunned for a moment, and her heart calmed down at this moment, and she truly felt a sense of empathy.
She looked up at the woman in front of her who was looking at her cautiously, exhaled, and said softly, "Well, I'm not angry anymore."
Don't be sad.
She couldn't help but let out a long, soft sigh in her heart.
Poor parents in the world.
Xu laughed happily, and tears came out of her eyes.
Gu Wan also laughed.
She raised her hand to wipe away Xu's tears, "Okay, mother, stop crying, let's go."
The author has something to say:
There was actually a reason why Xu married someone else, which will be mentioned later.
There will be some emotional development soon, don't worry, hahaha, today is a really big chapter! I give you a big kiss~ See you tomorrow, babies! (づ￣3￣)づ
