Chapter 72: Song Shaoyue (4) Come and grab it if you can! ...
Xie Yun was inexplicably taken onto the horse by Wen Yao, as if he was running for his life.
Unhappy with her messed-up hair, she turned around angrily and asked, "Wen Yao! What nonsense were you talking about just now?"
Wen Yao was initially flustered by the sudden appearance of a group of people. His expression was solemn, his mouth set in a line. He wasn't sure if these people were the ones looking for Xie Yun... but they filled him with unease.
If so, what to do?
Will Xie Yun choose to go with him?
He saw that the man just now was carrying a child. Could it be that Xie Yun was asked to go back and be a step-wife? To raise a child for someone else?
No, he had to protect Xie Yun and couldn't let Xie Yun see this man.
Xie Yun's angry voice brought Wen Yao back to his senses, and he resumed his usual nonchalant demeanor. "I saw that guy had shifty eyes and didn't look like a good person. If he saw how beautiful you are, wouldn't I have another competitor? Right, sister?"
Xie Yun didn't even notice the man's appearance before Wen Yao swept her into his arms. She simply didn't believe Wen Yao's lies. After riding for a while, as they were about to reach a post station, Xie Yun grabbed the reins, stopped the horse, and pushed Wen Yao off.
"Find a way to go back by yourself!" Xie Yun curled the corners of her lips and smiled brightly.
How dare you take advantage of her?!
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yun shouted "Go!" and her horse galloped off, trampling over the autumn leaves, all the way to Baixia City. She had no intention of waiting for Wen Yao. "Sister! I was wrong, isn't that okay?" Wen Yao shouted from behind.
After shouting, he frowned in grievance and muttered to himself, "That's still my horse... I was worried about you getting into trouble."
But as he watched Xie Yun walk away, his heart seemed to fly away with her.
He secretly vowed in his heart that no one could snatch Xie Yun from him. He would not give up!
Thinking of this, a burning fire suddenly ignited in his heart, as if he had unlimited motivation again.
At least for these six years, he has been by Xie Yun's side. He doesn't believe that anyone else can compare to these six years.
The tea master at the post station had a very good eye. After watching such a good show outside the post station, he came up to Wen Yao with a smile and asked if he wanted a horse. He also said that he had a strong and good horse that would definitely be able to catch up with the girl in front.
Wen Yao was unhappy with the way this person was laughing at him. He glanced at him disapprovingly, but still threw a bag of money to him and said, "I want that one."
"Okay~"

Yan Huinan hadn't seen Wen Yao since he entered the city, let alone Xie Yun. Furthermore, the man had ignored Yan Huinan's question about his name, which must have signaled a sense of caution.
The escorts only cared about the money and not the people he captured, and the servants had all signed death contracts, preferring death to revealing anything. And most importantly, Yan Huinan didn't dare to kill people easily.
If that person was really Xie Yun, and that man was so close to her, they must know each other. With Xie Yun's personality, it wasn't just anyone who could treat her like this.
He was worried that if he used tough methods again, Xie Yun would never forgive him.
He couldn't allow himself to do anything that would hurt Xie Yun or cause her to feel disgusted.
Thinking of this, he reached out and gently touched the sleeping Yan Lang. After having Yan Lang for these years, Yan Huinan seemed to be able to appreciate Xie Yun's gentleness more and more, and her gentleness towards the world.
She is gentle and has a tenacious personality.
Yan Lang seemed to have become a gentle medicine that Xie Yun left for Yan Huinan, healing the wounds in his heart bit by bit and soothing his tyranny.
Over the past few years, Yan Huinan felt deeply that his sins of killing were too great, and that Heaven had prevented him from reuniting with Xie Yun. Therefore, in addition to torturing himself to atone for his sins, his temperament also became increasingly gentle and steady, and he remained a vegetarian year-round.
With a quick glance outside the city, he felt more and more that the figure was Xie Yun, and she was in Baixia City.
Since his trip was for personal matters, he didn't alert the Baixia County Lieutenant. Furthermore, if the county lieutenant spread the news throughout the city, Xie Yun might escape again. He assigned additional personnel to patrol the city gates daily and sent several groups to search the city for information.
If I could see you again...
He almost didn't dare to think about it, because the thought would make him unable to suppress his excitement. The strong desire to see Xie Yun, mixed with the strong premonition that Xie Yun was right beside him, made him unable to express the ecstasy in his heart.
I couldn't sleep for days.
After the fall, it also likes to rain.
Yan Huinan brought Yan Lang to the house he had recently purchased. It was an ordinary courtyard, but the scenery inside was leisurely and elegant. The furnishings were all added a month or two ago, making it just the right place to live.
Yan Lang grew up in the north and had never seen the misty scenery of the south. In the past, when Yan Huinan took Yan Lang to look for Xie Yun, if he didn't find her, he would take Yan Lang to stay in the local area for a while, so that he could experience the local culture and broaden his horizons.
At the same time, it also eased the disappointment in Yan Lang's heart.
He didn't want Yan Lang to be worried at such a young age.
If he took Yan Lang to see Xie Yun and Xie Yun found out that he had not raised Yan Lang well, she would definitely blame him.
Yan Huinan didn't want to make Xie Yun unhappy.
After all, she had only been teaching Prince Rui at the time, yet she had given him all she knew. If she had been the one raising Yan Lang herself, Yan Huinan knew she would have raised him even better and more outstandingly than he had.
He knew that he was always inferior to Xie Yun.
Yan Lang had never seen such a misty water town in the south of the Yangtze River. As he entered the courtyard, he saw a huge ginkgo tree. After a rain, a layer of golden ginkgo leaves covered the dark blue brick floor. Ginkgo leaves were still falling in the breeze. Yan Lang walked under the tree with great interest and looked up at the tree in amazement.
The sky was gray, but the men following closely behind, Si Wen, Si Wu, Teng Ye, and others, were all captivated by the cute Yan Lang. After losing the clue, everyone was feeling very heavy, but Yan Lang was like a little sun, lighting up their hearts.
Especially Yan Huinan.
The more he raised Yan Lang, the more grateful he was to Xie Yun, and the more fortunate he was to have the Yan Lang she left behind.
Otherwise he would have died long ago.
But because of this, his guilt towards Xie Yun was invisibly deepened.
Through the front hall, the backyard opens onto a landscape of overlapping hills, ponds, and pavilions. The misty rain creates a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere. Fiery red maple leaves peek out from the branches, creating an unavoidable touch of color throughout the backyard.
Yan Huinan took Yan Lang to their residence, but when Yan Lang was about to hold Yan Huinan's hand, he couldn't help but shrink his fingers.
But in order not to spoil Yan Lang's fun, he still reached out and pulled him.
This time, Yan Lang refused to give in. He squatted down obediently and blew air on Yan Huinan's knuckles. A gust of warm wind blew on Yan Huinan's knuckles, which was warm and a little itchy.
Yan Lang only heard him say, "Father, I'm sorry, I forgot that your fingers hurt when it rains."
Yan Huinan's heart felt heavy, but he let Yan Lang blow on him and said softly, "Okay, Lang'er, blow on your father and it will stop hurting."
Yan Lang looked more and more like a little adult, nodding firmly, "Yeah!"

Since returning from the negotiations that day, Wen Yao has almost taken care of all the affairs of Yunjitang for her.
Yunjitang has become a highly prestigious medical clinic in the Jiangnan region. Besides Baixia, there are branches in over a dozen nearby cities, large and small. Each Yunjitang now has at least five doctors on duty, so Xie Yun no longer needs to visit.
This was exactly what she wanted. She no longer needed to show up in public, thus avoiding being found by Yan Huinan. Since she knew Yan Huinan was looking for her six years ago, she asked Wen Yao to help her hide her identity.
The Wen family is very powerful in Baixia's generation, so helping her hide her identity is a piece of cake.
Outsiders now believe Yunjitang is part of the Wen family's business, but in reality, it was founded by Xie Yun and Xie Run. When the time came to open a branch, Wen Yao offered to invest.
The doctors in Yunjitang were all selected by Xie Yun herself. Some of them were apprentices who had been with her for five or six years. After they became her apprentices, she let them manage the branches.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
This is Xie Yun’s small wish.
So when Wen Yao wanted to invest in a branch, Xie Yun had no reason to refuse. Furthermore, the apprentices she took in weren't from wealthy families; they were either women who had sold themselves on the street to bury their fathers, or women who had been nearly sold by their parents.
They have no ability to make a living in this world, so their fate is tragically in the hands of others.
Xie Yun didn't want to see these girls desperate, so she thought of taking in apprentices.
After they finish their studies, they can also help more women.
But whether he can finally cure diseases and save lives still needs to pass the assessment of Xie Yun and two other veteran doctors in Yunjitang who have been practicing medicine for many years.
Xie Yun has excellent medical skills, but she still asked an older doctor with more medical experience than her to take the assessment with her, just in case.
After all, human life cannot be used for training.
Otherwise, even if her starting point and intentions are good, there is no guarantee that she will not do something bad with good intentions.
In this regard, Xie Yun has been very strict in her assessment in recent years. Those who have been approved by her to become apprentices are now doctors who can work independently.
In addition to Yunjitang, Xie Yun also took over a Jishantang in Baixia this year. Previously, Baixia had a serious incident where a Jishantang deacon was involved in child trafficking.
Wen Yao heard about this incident from Fang Zhen by chance one time.
This was one of the reasons why Wen Yao had been able to tolerate Fang Zhen until now. Fang Zhen was well-informed, and anyone with money could buy information from him. The Wen family was, after all, businessmen, not philanthropists. They would exploit anyone who could benefit the Wen family to the utmost.
Xie Yun and Wen Yao left and asked Fang Zhen to retrieve the children who had been sold. Later, under pressure, the Baixia County Magistrate sent people to arrest several of the former Jishan Hall deacons. The affairs of Jishan Hall were then handed over to Xie Yun and the Wen family.
Today, Xie Yun went to Jishan Hall and Yunji Hall accompanied by Xie Run. She wore a white veil as usual.
As they walked, he said to Xie Run, "If someone wants to adopt a child from Jishantang, we need to conduct a thorough investigation of them, sign an agreement, and use the official seal of the government before we can send the child away. This is fundamentally different from selling a child."
Xie Run also nodded, "Well, Fei Jing and I will handle these matters from now on."
After coming out of Jishan Hall, on the way home, when passing by the moat, Xie Yun happened to see several older children surrounding a younger child not far away.
Xie Yun originally thought it was just children playing around and didn't want to intervene. But just as she was about to leave, she saw the older children suddenly shove the younger one.
Xie Yun frowned and said, "Go and have a look."
When they were about to get closer, a scene that surprised Xie Yun and Xie Run appeared.
Although the youngest child looked richly dressed, he was not weak at all. Instead, after being provoked, he started fighting with the older children who had bullied him.
He attacked unexpectedly, catching several older kids off guard.
But in the end, they lost because of the number of people and age, and the child was pinned to the ground and beaten by several people.
"Humph, what's wrong with your mother's things? Once they're in our hands, they're ours!"
"Lululu, come and grab it if you have the guts!"
"Hahaha, you incompetent young master!"
