Chapter 226 We rescued the big brother!
The person eating wonton put down his spoon and immediately a look of horror appeared on his face.
"You dare to say that? I dare not reply. Just eat slowly. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he threw down a few copper coins, lowered his head and left quickly.
"Hey, wait for me." The man knew he had said the wrong thing, so he paid the money and left.
The owner of the Chaos Stall shook his head, put away a few copper coins with a helpless look on his face, and muttered: "Hey, when will this day end?"
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen looked at each other, then turned away, each with their own thoughts.
When they returned to the resting place, the escort from the government office had not returned yet. Bu Wei was counting the supplies he had just bought and glanced at the two of them.
Bu Wei vaguely felt that the two of them seemed to have changed a little, but for a moment he couldn't tell what had changed.
After noticing his scrutinizing gaze, Ran Qingxuan took the initiative to raise the medicine bag in his hand and shook it.
"Boss Bu, we have got the medicine. The doctor said we will be able to recover in a few days."
"Oh, as long as it doesn't infect other people."
Bu Wei felt that he might be a little too suspicious. Perhaps the changes happened only after they knew that the pimples on his face would disappear.
When Old Madam Gu in the backyard heard the noise, she kept asking Zhou Furong to go and take a look.
Before she could get up and look, two people came in. Madam Gu's expression, which had been tense for several days, relaxed when she saw them.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"
Everyone didn't understand why Madam Gu said that. After all, the two of them had only been out for a short time, so why did they seem to be living a long time...
Li Si still had the same attitude as if everyone owed her money after not seeing her for a few days. She glanced at Ran Qingxuan with a squint and sneered.
"You deserve to have pimples. It would be better if your face rots..."
When Ran Qingxuan saw the Gu family again, she was filled with emotion. Not only did they get good news, but they also rescued her eldest brother. She could even imagine what the family would feel when they saw her eldest brother.
When they came back, Ran Qingxuan discussed with Gu Yanchen and decided to give everyone a heads-up in advance to prevent their eldest brother from being upset when he saw everyone being too excited.
Considering that everyone was resting in an open courtyard, the two did not dare to say it directly. They quietly pulled Mrs. Gu and the eldest sister-in-law over, and Ran Qingxuan gestured to them mysteriously.
"Mom, sister-in-law, come here for a moment."
The two of them were pulled to the back of the carriage with a puzzled look on their faces. Under the cover of the carriage, Ran Qingxuan had a nervous and excited expression on his face.
"Sixth brother's wife, is there anything wrong?"
"Well, something is happening, but it's a great thing!"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she knew that the thing they left to do had been accomplished, and she was immediately overjoyed.
"You are not your fourth brother..." Old Madam Gu looked at Ran Qingxuan with hope in her eyes.
"Yes, mother, Fourth Brother is not dead yet, he is still alive!"
"Really? Sixth sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"
When Mrs. Gu heard the news, she burst into tears. Her sister-in-law Zhou Furong also asked repeatedly with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Yes, that person explained the whole story, but the fact that Fourth Brother is not dead must not be told to anyone, otherwise he will definitely be in danger."
Perhaps Madam Gu had guessed something, her eyes were red and she nodded repeatedly, but her expression was happy.
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. Your sister-in-law is not a talkative person, she will definitely not say anything careless."
Zhou Furong also raised her hand and swore, "Don't worry, Sixth Sister-in-law, I will keep this to myself and will never tell anyone."
Gu Yanchen stood aside and waited for Madam Gu to calm down before speaking slowly.
"Mom, sister-in-law, there is one more good news that I want to tell you alone."
Madam Gu raised her head and smiled in a feigned anger, saying, "You little rascal, you're always trying to make fun of me. If you have anything to say, just say it now and don't keep us in suspense."
"Yes, Sixth Brother, if you have any good news, please tell me quickly..."
Gu Yanchen's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked extremely solemn when he squatted down.
Madam Gu noticed something different and slowly put away her smile.
When Zhou Furong saw Ran Qingxuan looking at her with a smile, her heart skipped a beat.
She seemed to have a hunch that this matter must be related to her.
"Sixth brother's wife?"
"Mom, sister-in-law, on this trip we not only found out about Fourth Brother, but also accidentally saved someone..."
Zhou Furong's breathing suddenly stopped, her eyes turned dark for a moment, and she even spoke incoherently.
"Who...is...who?"
Gu Yanchen held Madam Gu's hand, and tears slowly fell from his eyes as he was so moved.
"Mom, it's Big Brother, we saved Big Brother!"
The news was like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of the two people in an instant. Old Madam Gu stretched out her hand in disbelief and grabbed Gu Yanchen's clothes tightly.
"You were joking with your mother, right? Hasn't Yan Zong been gone for eight years?"
Zhou Furong opened her eyes wide and sat stupidly beside the carriage with tears in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, are you kidding me? Didn't your eldest brother die of poisoning?"
Ran Qingxuan also knew that too much time had passed and it was impossible to get them to accept it immediately, so he could only try his best to explain.
"It's true. My husband and I left quietly a few days ago and encountered assassins sent by the emperor. In order to save his life, one of them clearly stated that my eldest brother was imprisoned in the Taicang Palace.
My husband and I went to verify the truth, and in the end it was indeed as the assassin said, my brother was indeed imprisoned in the dark room of the palace. ”
When she said this, Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but hesitate to speak. Old Madam Gu keenly noticed her pause and became a little anxious for a moment.
"Then where is your elder brother now? Why did only the two of you come back?"
"Mom, don't worry. Big brother is doing well now. We will see him when we leave the city."
"Really? Is that true?"
Madam Gu confirmed it again and again, fearing that all this was not true.
Zhou Furong was so excited that even her hands were shaking.
Before she could say a few words of comfort, the officials who had gone to the yamen came back. After speaking a few words to Bu Wei, they began to order the team to set off immediately.
The government office had already taken several relatives who were also exiled out of the city. When Ran Qingxuan and his companions were leaving the city, they also saw several people including Lu the Hunter.
But now they all had red pimples on their faces, so when they passed by them, no one recognized them.
Before leaving, Ran Qingxuan asked Qu Feng to hand over the purse containing twenty taels of silver to Lu the hunter. After all, the ingots were much more expensive than this.
Looking at the gratitude that flashed on their faces from time to time, Ran Qingxuan felt that it was all worth it.
Little did she know that the boomerang of fate would soon come back to her, and she would be rewarded for this good deed!
After leaving the city, Madam Gu and Zhou Furong looked ahead eagerly, afraid of missing the person they had been waiting for for a long time.
But when they actually saw the person sitting by the tree, they became a little unsure.
Until Gu Yanzong raised his head from his cap and called out to the family he missed day and night: "Mother, Madam?"
