Chapter 31 When was he saved by the Gu family?
In fact, Ran Qingxuan had his own thoughts when he said this. He intended to tell the Chen family while also telling other families that the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
In order to make sure that Gu Yanchen would never be able to turn things around, the emperor exiled them together, just to see them become suspicious and slanderous of each other along the way.
If someone is very resentful, they might take advantage of Gu Yanchen's 'serious injury' to kill him to vent their anger...
Ran Qingxuan didn't have to make these people understand, but the road to exile was difficult and dangerous. She didn't want to face the unknown future while also being on guard against people around them who wanted to harm them at any time. This would be too tiring.
After observing quietly, Ran Qingxuan discovered that in addition to the Chen family, everyone in the Xiao family seemed to be thinking about what she said.
Xiao Hongyi of the Xiao family is a scholar. Although he is not as insightful as the great scholars, he does not have the usual corruption and stubbornness of scholars. Ran Qingxuan's words woke him up, and Xiao Hongyi naturally knew how to communicate with his family.
Except for the Li family who were inherently bad, the Shang family just sat there silently the entire time without saying a word, with a look of resignation on their faces.
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but shook his head at this. There was still a long way to go. If the Shang family continued to be in this state, problems would arise sooner or later.
But she also knew that it was useless to say more. There were some things that she explained, but others would not listen or simply did not want to listen, and she could not force them.
After this incident, the Chen family naturally joined the Gu family's team. In order to thank Ran Qingxuan for saving his life, Chen Zhao took the initiative to ask to help pull the cart.
Old Madam Gu originally wanted to refuse, because in her opinion the women of the Gu family were not useless people, and there were some things that they should do themselves and could not delegate to others.
Chen Chengping and his wife Zou Yu forced their son to pull the cart under the pretext of repaying Ran Qingxuan for saving their lives.
The third sister-in-law also persuaded at this time: "Mother-in-law, let my eldest brother come. If we don't let him come, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will feel uneasy. At worst, we can take turns to come and wait for the sixth brother to wake up!"
"Yes, auntie, as a man, how can I watch my sister and the other women in the mansion do something like pulling a cart?"
Madam Gu was speechless for a moment and could only thank the Chen family for their kindness.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, my dear nephew!"
With Chen Zhao's help, Ran Qingxuan knew that the road in the next few days would not be so difficult. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he was also troubled by the current situation.
The escorting officers were only responsible for making sure the prisoners did not escape or cause trouble, and had no interest in them saving people or traveling together.
only...
In order to watch the fun, the officials sat under the eaves of the dilapidated temple, each holding a white flour bun in their hands, biting the buns and exclaiming in admiration.
After all, Chen Yue'er was young and could not resist the temptation. When she saw the white steamed bun being slowly bitten open, she couldn't help but start to secrete saliva from her mouth.
"Mom, I'm really hungry..."
Maybe it was because she was too hungry, but Chen Yue'er grabbed the half remaining vegetable bun in her mother's hand and put it into her mouth.
Who would have thought that as soon as she bit down, Chen Yue'er made a "crunch" sound in her mouth.
Two baby teeth that had not fallen out yet were actually knocked out by the steamed bun. Chen Yue'er could no longer hold it in. She did not say that all this was caused by Gu Yanchen. She just sat on the ground, covering her mouth and crying.
Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er loved her younger sister very much. When she saw blood flowing out from between her fingers covering her mouth, she was immediately heartbroken.
He picked up the mixed vegetable steamed bun on the ground and walked quickly towards the official who was laughing and teasing him.
The vegetable steamed buns, as hard as a rock, hit the door of the dilapidated temple with a clang. Several officers stood up and reached for the whips at their waists.
"Look at it yourself, this is food for human beings. The emperor hasn't sentenced us to death, so why is he mistreating us like this?"
Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er usually spoke softly, and even now she was angry, her voice was not powerful enough. Those officers didn't take her seriously in the first place, and now they even showed a malicious smile.
Ran Qingxuan didn't expect that his third sister-in-law, who usually looked weak, could be so tough. It turned out that seeing her family suffer was what she could not bear the most.
Fearing that she would suffer, everyone in the Chen family immediately rushed to the gate of the dilapidated temple. Ran Qingxuan, seeing that the situation was not good, also hurriedly followed.
But it was too late. Before she and the Chen family arrived, the soldiers had already started swinging their whips. Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er was too slow to dodge, and a blood mark instantly appeared on her right arm.
"ah..."
Chen's mother, Zou Yu, cried and rushed forward to protect her daughter. Chen Chengping and Chen Zhao had already confronted the officials, but after all, the father and son had been hungry for a long time because of the house confiscation, and they were at a disadvantage in an instant.
A policeman's whip was about to hit Chen's mother and third sister-in-law. Ran Qingxuan stepped forward quickly and caught the whip's tail which was full of power.
The officers didn't expect that there would be a prisoner who would dare to fight with them. They put away their contemptuous attitude and drew the sword at their waist.
Gu Yanchen had been paying attention to every move here. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time was ignited, and he almost lifted the straw raincoat covering his body.
The raincoat's violent ups and downs were noticed by Old Madam Gu, who stood beside the cart and whispered.
"Don't worry, the Ran family will definitely handle it!"
Old Madam Gu had an inexplicable trust in Ran Qingxuan. After making sure that Gu Yanchen would not act impulsively, she walked forward and stood together with the Chen family to face them.
The Xiao family and the Shang family had been keeping a wait-and-see attitude. When they saw the police drawing their swords, they did not dare to step forward to intervene.
The third sister-in-law knew that it was because of her momentary impulse that her family was in danger, so she had to get up in a hurry.
"I said that. It has nothing to do with my family. If you want to find someone, look for me!"
Mother Chen cried and held the man down, standing in front of Chen Wan'er.
Ran Qingxuan still held the whip in her hand. When the officer on the other end turned his head, she pulled it hard, and the whip flew out of her hand and was caught by her.
The officers immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy. They picked up their knives and surrounded everyone. Ran Qingxuan knew that if anyone dared to move, their knives would fall in the next second.
Ran Qingxuan was a little nervous at the moment. After all, she had learned close combat and was not yet at the level of catching a blade with her bare hands. However, in order to keep her promise to Gu Yanchen, she had to stand up and face the danger.
At that moment, Ran Qingxuan no longer concealed her edge. She was full of vigor and vitality. She swung the whip in her hand, and the sound of it breaking through the air made the officers dare not approach.
Seeing that the deterrence was effective, Ran Qingxuan put away the whip in his hand and said in a deep voice.
"We had no intention of causing trouble, but you guys went too far. Now that the Gu family has suffered this disaster, you, the people who were saved by the Gu family, are actually adding insult to injury. If the men of the Gu family are still alive, they will definitely regret it!"
The officers looked at each other, some were puzzled, some laughed sarcastically, and they all thought that Ran Qingxuan was crazy.
"What do you mean by saved us? When the Gu family men went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, we were all in the capital. We had nothing to do with them. How can you say that he saved us?"
"Don't be crazy to say such unrealistic things."
