"The man inside is a member of the royal family. Your father was probably protecting him. If he's gone, I'm afraid..."
Li Chengzhe didn't finish his sentence, but Fang Yuan already understood.
The general idea is that this person is his father's master, so he cannot die.
If he dies, her father, as the escort, might also die later even if he is saved.
This ancient era was just so messed up!
Fang Yuan cursed inwardly, but a hint of apology appeared on his face.
"It's all my fault for only seeing my dad. I was so worried that I ignored everything else. I'll save him right now."
She originally came here to rescue people and ask for a reward, but now that she has found the real culprit, how can she let him die?
Sons and grandsons of dragons and phoenixes are very valuable!
It has to cost extra, and a hefty price at that!!!
Lee Seung-cheol nodded: "That's good. I was only thinking of your father."
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly at these words.
You make it sound like you don't need to worry.
This guy has a noble status; if he really dies here, he doesn't believe the higher-ups will let them off easily.
"Are there any spare carriages?" Fang Yuan asked.
His father is so badly injured, and he's just lying on the ground of the carriage. It's so pitiful.
"Yes!" Lee Seung-cheol nodded.
Almost all the people were dead. Although many horses had also died, about ten were still alive, and three carriages were empty.
"Then find me a carriage; my father needs to rest!"
As Fang Yuan spoke, he picked up Fang Congshan and easily got off the carriage.
Seeing the petite woman in front of him easily hugging a grown man, Lee Seung-cheol still felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that this carriage was narrower than the previous one, Fang Yuan thought for a moment and had Li Chengzhe help her father up while she got on the train and removed the seat.
They found two clean carpets on the donkey cart, laid them out, and put Fang Congshan directly on the cart and covered him with a thin blanket.
"You look after my father for me, I'm going to rescue that man."
After giving Li Chengzhe some instructions, Fang Yuan returned to the carriage.
The carriage was about two meters long and wide, and the seats inside were half a meter wide, but the man had an arrow stuck in his waist and abdomen, so he could only lie on his side in the seat.
Fortunately, the boy may have learned some first aid techniques; the arrow stuck in his abdomen was not removed, which barely kept him alive.
However, he still bled quite a bit, and his moon-white clothes were stained dark red.
"Sir, this is an urgent matter, and I, Fang Yuan, have offended you today."
Fang Yuan spoke politely to the unconscious man.
Regardless of whether he could hear her or not, she then cut open the fabric around his wound.
It's a shame to cut such a big hole in such good material, but thankfully it didn't damage anything vital.
She had never seen this man before in Li Wan'er's memory; many of the sons of the royal princes had died.
She naturally didn't know which one it was.
But since he's someone her father associates with, even if he fails to reach the top in the future and becomes the son of some prince, she still has to save him now.
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, took out another hemostatic pill, and fed it to him.
They then administered anesthesia to his wound before and after it was opened, and waited ten minutes before cutting off the arrowhead and removing the arrow.
Fortunately, the hemostatic pill worked well, and there was not much bleeding after the arrow was removed.
She cleaned up the remaining blood, stitched up the wound, and only breathed a sigh of relief after it was bandaged.
Although it wasn't a major surgery, the lighting was poor, and she was all alone, which exhausted her.
Only after confirming that his life was saved did they gently lay him down.
After thinking for a moment, I took a thin blanket and covered him with it before getting off the carriage.
The man behind her strained to open his eyes and glance at the departing figure before slowly closing them again.
Outside the carriage, another scene of family reunion unfolded.
"Auntie? Are you auntie?"
Lee Seung-cheol looked at Fang Yuan's mentally challenged mother and asked excitedly.
Fang Yuan protected his family very well, and they rarely got out of the car.
Although he knew that Fang Yuan had a mother and younger siblings, he had never really looked at them seriously.
"Yuanyuan~ Yuanyuan, Mommy's scared~~"
Looking at the unfamiliar man blocking her way, Li Jingru anxiously called out to Fang Yuan.
In her heart, besides Fang Congshan, her Yuanyuan was the most powerful and wouldn't let anyone bully her.
"Mother is alright, Yuanyuan is here!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly went over to comfort her.
"Yuanyuan!" Li Jingru cautiously hid next to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan patted his hand and looked at Li Chengzhe, asking, "Brother Li, what are you trying to do?"
But in her heart, she wondered if this guy was from her maternal grandparents' family.
I remember Cheng Hezhou saying earlier that this was the Dingyuan Marquis's convoy, so this person might actually be a relative of her maternal grandfather's family.
“If I’m not mistaken, your mother’s surname is Li, her given name is Jingru, and she is my aunt. I am her nephew, Li Chengzhe.”
Lee Seung-cheol looked at Fang Yuan and said with slight excitement.
His grandmother was ill from missing her aunt, the little aunt who had been lost for seventeen years.
How did he end up running into him?
“How could that be? Although my mother has amnesia and is a bit mentally unclear, my father found her at the foot of Cangshan Mountain,” Fang Yuan replied.
Sure enough, the man was indeed her maternal cousin, the third son who had died unexpectedly.
No wonder she felt this person looked somewhat familiar.
"Then that's even more true. Your mother was lost seventeen years ago on her way to the border. She was lost near Cangshan Mountain."
Lee Seung-cheol replied with increasing certainty.
I never imagined that my aunt really wasn't dead, she just forgot the past and became mentally impaired. No wonder we haven't been able to find her all these years!
"Where's the evidence?" Fang Yuan asked again.
I know who they are, but I can't just follow them around like that, can I?
“This…you come back to the capital with me, my grandmother can vouch for it,” Li Chengzhe said after a moment of contemplation.
If he can bring his aunt back, his grandmother's illness might get better.
“I’m sorry, this is not something I can decide right now. My father has been found, so we’ll have to see what he has to say,” Fang Yuan replied.
Her original reason was to go to the capital to find her father, but she found him halfway there, and now she's in a very awkward situation.
“No, you must come back to the capital with me. I rushed back from the border because my grandmother is seriously ill. If you don’t go back, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her again.”
Lee Seung-cheol genuinely wanted to take them home.
He never expected that he would find his aunt on this trip.
My aunt has given birth to such an amazing daughter, so perhaps it's not so bad.
"What's wrong, everyone? Let's talk about it calmly."
Cheng Hezhou, having finished packing, caught up with the others and noticed they were getting agitated, so he quickly stepped forward to ease the tension.
The road ahead is long. There are only four of them now, and they still have to rely on Fang Yuan. They can't afford to offend her.
"Butler Cheng, I've found my aunt. This is the aunt I lost more than ten years ago. Fang Yuan is my aunt's daughter."
Lee Seung-cheol looked at Cheng He-zhou excitedly and said.
Cheng Hezhou was his grandmother's maidservant and also his father's confidant.
One of the reasons he traveled all over the country doing business over the years was to find his aunt.
