Chapter 197 Bo Qiaohui 9
"Don't mention it, it's a nice day today."
Bo Chen was walking in the front, followed by Bo Ren, whose backpack was full of herbs. He was holding his little sister Zhui and strolling slowly behind them.
"You guys are too slow. I'll go ahead first."
The impatient Bo Qin couldn't wait any longer. As soon as he finished speaking, his nimble figure rushed out and soon he disappeared.
Qiao Hui sighed, "Fourth brother's temper needs to be tempered, otherwise he will suffer losses on the battlefield sooner or later."
"It's okay, big brother will watch over him." Bo Ren rubbed his little sister's head, and the two continued to walk leisurely on the mountain path in the suburbs.
"don't want--!"
Suddenly, a girl's scream was heard at the foot of a mountain not far away. Qiaohui frowned and looked at her elder brother. Seeing that he also tilted his ear, she knew that she had not heard it wrongly.
"Let's go take a look, maybe someone has encountered a thief."
Bo Ren nodded, let Qiaohui sit on his shoulders, and then took big strides and quickly rushed towards the voice.
Bo Qiaohui was sitting high up and could see far. After a while, she saw the sedan chair standing out from the deserted path. She patted her elder brother and pointed with her little finger: "It's right in front."
The eldest brother nodded, put his sister and the backpack down, took out the sickle from inside, and approached carefully. As he got closer, he could hear the man's obscene laughter and the woman's struggling sounds.
He took two steps forward, pulled open the curtain, pulled out the man who was lying on the woman and threw him to the ground. Then he lowered the curtain and never dared to look at the poor bride.
Seeing that her elder brother had subdued the man, Qiaohui quickly ran over and lifted the curtain.
Xue Yuan was still in shock. Startled by her movement, she wanted to pull out her hairpin and commit suicide. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who came in was a little girl of six or seven years old.
"Sister...are you okay?"
The girl's clear eyes looked at her worriedly. Xue Yuan quickly shook her head: "I'm fine. Thanks to you for coming in time."
"That's good, sister, don't be afraid. My two brothers and I are from Chang'an. We are not bad people." Qiao Hui took out a small bronze mirror from her waist and handed it to her: "Sister, please tidy up your appearance first."
After saying this, he retreated, leaving Xue Yuan to calm down on her own.
His elder brother had already tied up the man. After all, they didn't know the reason, so it was naturally difficult for them to interfere in the matter.
Having weathered the storm, Xue Yuan quickly packed herself up. After making sure the effects of the medicine had gradually worn off, she breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the curtain and walked out. Just as she was about to thank her two benefactors, she heard a clear, young voice from behind her:
"Big brother, little sister, look what I caught?"
The three looked back and saw Bo Qin escorting a white-faced, beardless man towards them.
"This seems to be a eunuch, right?"
Bo Ren frowned: "Why are you arresting people in broad daylight?"
"I came to look for you and saw him sneaking around in the bushes, peeking in here. Of course I wanted to catch him and question him, but he ran away the moment he saw me. What else could he be but guilty?"
Bo Chen wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction. "Besides, didn't you capture someone, brother? Oh, and even snatched the bride! I didn't realize you could do such a thing, you fool!"
"Brother, shut up! Are you kidding me about this girl's reputation?"
Qiaohui stepped on him hard, signaling her fourth brother to apologize.
Bo Chen was not ignorant of etiquette, but he had not seen the situation clearly and had spoken without thinking in front of his family. When his sister reminded him, he looked at the disheveled man on the ground and the eunuch in his hand, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly bowed his head and apologized to Xue Yuan:
"I'm so sorry, young lady. I didn't think before I spoke. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Seeing her usually eloquent Fourth Brother apologize so awkwardly, Qiaohui paid him no attention. He was the only one of the family members close in age who hadn't suffered much, so he was the most impulsive. Though clever, he was also conceited. Qiaohui didn't want to hurt his innocent heart, but she also didn't want him to get hurt in the future, so she was happy to let him suffer a minor loss.
Xue Yuan naturally wouldn't care, and she didn't look carefully just now. Now, after hearing the voices of several people talking, she knew that they were all children. The oldest one was probably the boy who saved her, who was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was an adult in her thirties and would not bother with children.
"It's okay, I don't mind."
She glanced at the two men trembling on their knees, her cold eyes filled with murderous intent. "I wonder if you, my benefactors, could hand these two over to me for disposal."
"We are not detectives, so naturally the girl should handle it herself."
"Could you please find me a car, my benefactor?" Xue Yuan casually plucked a golden hairpin from her hair and handed it to Bo Chen. He shook his head and replied in a muffled voice, "It won't cost that much. A few copper coins will be enough."
"The extra amount is my thank you gift, please don't refuse it."
Bo Ren subconsciously glanced at his sister, and only reached out to take it when he saw her nod. Xue Yuan naturally saw this scene and couldn't help but feel curious about these three people.
But she couldn't care about these things now. There was a raging fire burning in her heart, and she just wanted to go back to the palace immediately and burn that vicious woman to death.
The carriage arrived soon. Xue Yuan watched the two boys, one each, easily throw the two men in, and was secretly shocked by their arm strength.
Before leaving, she opened the curtain and said to the three people standing there, "I haven't asked for the names of the three benefactors yet. Xue Yuan will repay you handsomely one day."
"Sister Xue Yuan is so polite. It's just a small favor for us. Besides, you've already given us a thank you gift."
Qiao Hui held up the golden hairpin and said with a smile, "By being able to get the golden hairpin on the bride's head, we can be considered to have shared in your good fortune."
Seeing that the other party didn't want to say anything, Xue Yuan guessed that the other party didn't want to get involved in her mess. After all, she was a bride and a eunuch, and she was inseparable from the palace no matter how you looked at it.
"What a smart kid." Xue Yuan lowered the curtain and thought of her own wedding. She couldn't help feeling sad. When she turned around to look at the two people shivering in the carriage, her eyes were like poisoned knives.
The carriage sped all the way until it returned to the Weiyang Palace, the Pepper Room.
Dou Yifang hadn't expected that Xue Yuan, whom she had sent away, would actually bring back two men. Seeing Xue Yuan's heavy expression, she silently developed a sense of foreboding.
After hearing what Xue Yuan had experienced today, Dou Yifang felt dizzy and stumbled a few steps before being supported by Xue Yuan in time:
"My Lady, please don't scare me!"
"Xue Yuan," Dou Yifang held Xue Yuan's hand tightly, squeezing so hard that her knuckles turned blue and white, "I'm the one who hurt you. I almost ruined your life and Zhou Yafu's life!"
