Chapter 377 What are you waiting for?
"Who... did this...? That cunning slave did this..."
Ran Qingxuan carefully observed Mrs. Zhao's expression and found that she was not lying. And from her reaction, it should be the first time she knew what happened to Qi Huan.
Her first reaction was shock. She was shocked that Qi Huan had been married into the family for so many years, but she didn't know that she was being bullied like this by the servants she brought with her to the Zhao family.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were full of heartache, and it didn't seem fake. Ran Qingxuan didn't bother to ask details and said to her.
"It has already happened. What is Madam Zhao going to do? Will your Zhao family handle it, or will we handle it?"
"You..." Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears, her face full of confusion.
Ran Qingxuan remembered that Qi Minghe had not yet introduced himself, and was about to go out to look for them when he heard hurried footsteps in the Zhao Mansion.
"You are such a bold gangster, you came to someone's house in broad daylight to commit a crime, why don't you let him go..."
The government office of Hancheng was near the west gate. The maid went there quickly and came back quickly. However, when the officials arrived, the guards of Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion also happened to arrive. Thinking that something big had happened, they immediately showed their badges and entered Zhao's Mansion.
In the backyard of the Zhao Mansion, when the bailiff came in, he saw Qi Minghe looking like he was about to kill someone, and there was an old woman in her forties or fifties lying on the ground. Subconsciously, he thought that Qi Minghe was the bandit that the maid had mentioned.
Ran Qingxuan looked at Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao hurried to explain for fear of causing misunderstanding.
"I thought it was a robbery, so I asked the maid to report it to the police."
Ran Qingxuan let out a long sigh instantly.
"The man outside is from the Qi family. When we came in just now, we saw Sister Qi being beaten by that cunning slave. Master Qi was merciful for not killing him immediately!"
When Mrs. Zhao heard that it was a member of the Qi family and then saw the miserable condition of Qi Huan on the bed, she was immediately terrified.
"I will go out and explain right away. The Zhao family is responsible for this incident. No matter whose servant this is, our Zhao family will not shirk responsibility."
Ran Qingxuan had just met Mrs. Zhao as a guest and knew that she was not the kind of person who did not distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
But the key point is that she is not a member of the Qi family, so she still needs to communicate with Qi Minghe first about this matter.
After Mrs. Zhao went out, she was too ashamed to face Qi Minghe, so she explained to the yamen runners who were controlling the people.
"Sir, it's all a misunderstanding."
More than a dozen officers came in a crowd, and they frowned immediately when they heard what was said.
"You say it's a misunderstanding, so it is a misunderstanding. This person beat someone up like this in your house. We have to take him back for investigation."
Qi Minghe wanted to refute, but he immediately calmed down after meeting Ran Qingxuan's eyes.
"It's really a misunderstanding. This young man is from my daughter-in-law's family. When he came in, he saw this cunning servant bullying his master and was furious, so he taught him a lesson. I'm not familiar with my daughter-in-law's family, so I didn't recognize him the first time."
The chief of the police looked suspicious: "You didn't cheat or cover up?"
Madam Zhao immediately waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's true. My daughter-in-law is from the Qi family of Silver Moon City, and this is the Second Young Master Qi."
The officer who had captured Qi Minghe found a jade pendant on his body and saw that the Qi family emblem was engraved on the back. He then let the man go with a serious face.
"What's wrong with your family? They can't even recognize their daughter-in-law's family. We made this trip in vain..."
Mrs. Zhao was anxious to know what had happened, so she took out five taels of silver from her purse and stuffed it into the officer's hand.
"Don't despise this little bit of silver, sir. Use it to have some wine and warm yourself up!"
The officer weighed the silver in his hand, turned around and asked the man to leave.
"Next time, find out the truth before reporting it to the police, so as to avoid being laughed at!"
"Yes, yes, sir, take care."
When the official left, Gu Yanchen noticed that Nanny Bao glanced at the servants gathered in the corridor.
After everyone left, Gu Yanchen called out to Ran Qingxuan who was in the room and quickly chased after him out.
There was only one person left in the yard, and before Mrs. Zhao could ask, the person took the initiative to speak.
"Madam Zhao, I am a guard at the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. I came to the Zhao Mansion to invite Madam Gu to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. I wonder if Madam Gu is available?"
Mrs. Zhao subconsciously thought of Ran Qingxuan, and Gu Yanchen, who was passing by, stopped beside him, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Wait."
Stunned by Gu Yanchen's cold and stern aura, the guard knew who he was after a moment's thought.
With respect in his eyes, he silently took a few steps back without saying anything more.
Madam Zhao was shocked by Gu Yanchen's attitude towards the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion. They came here with the Second Young Master Qi, and since he could make the people in the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion dare not say much, his status must be not bad.
"Mrs. Zhao, let's go into Sister Qi's bedroom and talk first!"
"good."
Gu Yanchen still stayed outside. After all, Qi Minghe was Qi Huan's younger brother. Since something like this had happened to his elder sister, he, as a relative, should come forward to support her.
Also taken in was Nanny Bao, who had been beaten to the point where she could not stand.
Ran Qingxuan sat down on the bed, Madam Zhao sat beside the bed with her grandson in her arms, while Nanny Bao knelt below her, and it was obvious that she was trembling all over.
He would glance outside from time to time, as if he was looking at someone.
"We are waiting for Master Zhao to come back. What are you waiting for? A life-saving straw?"
Nanny Bao shuddered all over, and instantly felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Ran Qingxuan's eyes were full of mockery. She was originally thinking about how to find an opportunity to get rid of Nanny Bao, but she didn't expect that her sudden action today would yield such a reward.
As time went by, Bao Ma could no longer kneel...
Qi Huan had woken up during the waiting period, but he just lay quietly on the bed with tears constantly flowing out of the corners of his eyes, but he did not show any sadness, but instead a feeling of relief.
Because Qi Huan knew that after today, no one would threaten, beat or scold her and her children anymore!
Even if not forever, she could temporarily escape the control of the third room.
The truth is not important to her at all. She just wants her child not to become a prey to others and be slaughtered at will!
In less than a few minutes, a dull sound was heard outside the yard, and something hit the ground heavily, attracting everyone's attention.
Then a few seconds later the door was slammed open and a staggering figure appeared at the door.
Zhao Huaijin had messy hair, his navy blue robe was covered in dust, and the right side of his face was covered with scratches. It was obvious that he had fallen because he was too anxious.
Mrs. Zhao put the child down and walked forward, her eyes red as she said, "Go and see Qi..."
Ran Qingxuan thought she would first care about whether her son was injured, but he didn't expect that she was really worried about Qi Huan.
Unexpectedly, before Zhao Huaijin could step forward, he was grabbed by the collar by the furious Qi Minghe.
"Even if this cunning slave came from our family, my sister has been married to your family for many years. Why didn't you, as her husband, notice that she was being bullied?"
Ran Qingxuan looked at Zhao Huaijin, whose eyes were slightly red but who could not utter a word, and shook his head slightly.
The man in front of him had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin was slightly dark, but judging from his appearance, he was the kind of person who was gentle and loved to smile.
