Chapter 433 Accepting the Reality
The officer almost stumbled, pretending not to hear anything, and quickly led the two men towards the depths of the prison.
After opening the cell door, the officer said to the two men in a deep voice, "This is the cell. You can stay there for no more than 15 minutes. Get out as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Cheng'an and his family were squeezed into a cell of less than 20 square meters. Two figures were curled up on a straw mat at the innermost wall, obviously the old couple Chen.
The other members of the Chen family sat around the two old people, probably to help them keep warm.
The family who heard the noise looked up and saw Chen Xu and a strange man being brought in by a soldier. They subconsciously thought that Chen Xu had offended the soldier and would be detained together.
But he didn't expect that the officer would open the cell and leave, and the 'Chen Xu' in front of him did not come in immediately.
This scene surprised the Chen family. Chen Cheng'an and his wife looked at Chen Xu who came in and asked hesitantly, "Xu'er?"
Ran Qingxuan pulled down her scarf to reveal her face. Chen Chengan and his wife Wang Dairong saw that this was their daughter, but the look in her eyes looking at them was clearly unfamiliar...
Chen Chengan's eldest son, Chen Shilang, stood up and called out to Ran Qingxuan in confusion, "Sister?"
With doubt in their tone, Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen came in carrying things, opened the bundle and took out several quilts and slightly thicker cotton coats.
"Uncle Chen, I'm Gu Yanchen, and this is my wife Ran Qingxuan. We came here in disguise to give you something."
Before the Chen Chengan family could react when they heard the name Gu Yanchen, Ran Qingxuan continued, “Uncle Chen, Emperor Mingde ordered the Gu family to be raided. In order to make the Gu family the target of public criticism, he framed my third brother and caused the Chen family to be implicated.
If you believe us, Uncle Chen will explain everything to you after you reunite with the team in a few days. ”
Hearing the completely different tone and intonation, the Chen family realized that the woman in front of them was really not their daughter Chen Xu.
Chen Chengan had a bitter look on his face. Although his official position was not high, he could at least take care of his family. Now he had nothing. Even if he cleared up the misunderstanding, what would it matter?
"Why did Emperor Mingde do this? My father's position is not even comparable to that of a high-ranking official in the capital. Why...why did he do this..."
Chen Shilang looked at the family, who were disheveled and in a very miserable state, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.
Gu Yanchen shook his head in his heart. The emperor wanted to make them unhappy, and it had nothing to do with the size of their official positions.
“Because what the Dog Emperor wants is for you to be angry with the Gu family. The Shang Bin family who were exiled together could not accept this result and believed that it was Gu Yanchen who caused their exile.
When the team was marching through Qianchong Mountain, the father and son of the Shang family took the opportunity to push Gu Yanchen and me off the cliff, but we were lucky enough to survive.
Later, Shang Bin was killed by a falling beam and his son lost a leg, but the outcome should not have been like this. ”
Chen Cheng'an looked at Ran Qingxuan who was speaking to his daughter's face and gave her a wry smile.
"Are you using this incident to threaten and warn our family?"
"No, I just want to say that we should not let the dog emperor succeed in his plan, because if we want to survive, we must be more united. What good will it do us if we follow the dog emperor's wishes?"
Chen Cheng'an's family was honest and dutiful, and what Ran Qingxuan said made sense. After a little thought, Chen Cheng'an's family understood what Ran Qingxuan meant.
Chen Jingyao, the second daughter of the Chen family, is two years older than Ran Qingxuan. She was originally raised in the boudoir and rarely went out. She was supposed to get married before being exiled.
As a result, when her fiancé's family heard that her family was going to be exiled, they asked for the betrothal gifts and engagement letter back overnight. Originally, as long as they took the people away, Chen Jingyao would be spared from exile.
During her time in prison, she never complained about the unfairness of fate, nor did she blame anyone for causing all this.
Among the Chen family, she was the first to accept everything. Now that Ran Qingxuan spoke frankly about the matter, she actually felt that it was not a bad thing.
"Mom and Dad, we have to live somewhere anyway, so it doesn't matter where. Besides, it's a blessing for me to see through the hypocritical appearance of my fiancé's family."
Chen Cheng'an and his wife knew that their daughter was a person with her own ideas. Seeing that she had accepted it calmly, there was no reason for her to continue to torture herself.
He let out a long sigh, completely accepting the reality.
Just watching the Gu family couple dressed up like this and come in, Chen Chengan asked in confusion: "You are all here, what about my eldest brother's family?"
“Uncle Chen and the others had not yet arrived in Silver Moon City. My husband and I ran into Young Marquis Duan before entering Cangzhou, and it was he who brought us to Silver Moon City first.
We learned from Young Marquis Duan that my third sister-in-law's grandparents were not in good health, so we tried to find a way to get into the prison to treat them. ”
"and you..."
Seeing Madam Chen's doubts, Ran Qingxuan immediately said, "I know medical skills. How about letting me take a look at the old lady and the others first?"
The Chen family originally did not believe that Ran Qingxuan knew medical skills at such a young age, but when the two elders showed signs of waking up after just acupuncture by Ran Qingxuan, they were shocked that she was not exaggerating.
But after Ran Qingxuan took the pulse of the two elderly people, he found that the situation was not optimistic.
It is already December now, and the few people who entered the prison were only wearing tattered cotton-padded clothes with only a few ounces of cotton, which were not cold-resistant at all.
The two elderly people's lungs have been seriously infected due to the cold air and the bad environment, and their legs and feet are covered with frostbite.
With the current look, it can be said that he is just holding on. As for why, Ran Qingxuan might be able to guess.
The only thing is that I haven’t seen Chen Chengping and his family for the last time!
But who is Ran Qingxuan? She would not allow such a thing to happen.
Seeing that they had less than ten minutes left, Ran Qingxuan was unable to keep them on IV drips in such a short time.
Looking at Gu Yanchen, he understood what Ran Qingxuan meant with just one look.
"Uncle Chen, I brought quilts, clothes, and hot buns. I'll make the bed for you. Put on your cotton robes and eat something first."
Chen Chengan's family had been relying on the steamed buns sent by Chen Xu for a while, and they had lost a lot of weight in a month.
Upon hearing that there were hot buns, Chen Jialang, the youngest son of the Chen family, immediately began to sob softly, and kept shouting that he wanted to eat buns.
But Chen Cheng'an was worried about his parents, and looked in the direction of Ran Qingxuan, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Don't worry, Uncle Chen. We also brought some porridge. They can eat it when Old Master Chen and Old Madam Chen wake up."
The preparations were so detailed that the Chen family was so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.
"Then let my niece-in-law treat him first. Let's finish eating quickly and feed them porridge after they wake up."
Gu Yanchen deliberately led their family to the front, and Ran Qingxuan quietly took out the syringe and took out the special medicine that had not been used in the medicine cabinet.
Just one shot was not enough to cure the pneumonia of the two elderly people, but the second shot could not be given in a short period of time, so Ran Qingxuan had to give them the shot first and make other plans.
"I will come again tomorrow. These medicines are divided into portions. Give them to the elders a quarter of an hour after they have eaten, and take them again after dinner three hours later.
There are also these frostbite creams, just apply them thickly on the injured area. ”
