Chapter 44: It’s just a big rat!
Judging from the skill he showed when he left last night, it would be easy for him to escape from those officers quietly.
But if he really ran away, where would his family be?
Gu Yanchen will never be an unfaithful, unfilial, and unrighteous person!
"Don't think too much. Three days later is three days later. During this period, I will definitely protect my family. Our primary goal now is to reach the northwest safely."
Ran Qingxuan firmly believes that the fate of the Gu family has been rewritten because of her arrival.
As for what will happen next, they will take it one step at a time, because they have no way out.
The gloomy mood slowly began to come alive because of Ran Qingxuan's words, and Gu Yanchen didn't seem so worried about the future anymore.
If he is obsessed with self-blame like he is now every day, who will his family turn to for support?
"I will definitely cheer myself up and will never let you make the women of the Gu family suffer again!"
Having said that, Ran Qingxuan decided to divert the two of them away from this heavy topic.
After thinking about it, he continued what he had just said.
"You just mentioned the feud with the Li family, what about the Shang family and the Xiao family?"
The topic was continued to be asked, and Gu Yanchen didn't know where to start for a moment.
After recounting an incident in which Shang Bin agreed with his remarks and thinking about it carefully, Gu Yanchen remembered another trivial matter.
"Shang Bin was the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, and was usually responsible for drafting imperial edicts for promulgation. One time, he drafted an imperial edict in accordance with the emperor's wishes, but when he got to the imperial study, he looked worried.
The emperor was not here at the time, so I asked him a question and then helped him point out the inappropriateness in the imperial edict, and then..."
"And the emperor happened to come in and heard it?" Ran Qingxuan said speechlessly.
“How do you know?
The emperor even smiled and said that I was a worm in his stomach and I knew exactly what he was thinking. ”
Now Ran Qingxuan was even more speechless, and said with a look of regret.
"I give up. You actually believed the nonsense that Emperor Mingde said? Who knows, he might be thinking that you can speak for him, and that you can sit on his throne..."
Gu Yanchen felt bitter in his heart, as if what Ran Qingxuan said made sense. How could a superior tolerate someone who was better than himself?
"What about the Xiao family? Xiao Hongyi is a civil servant and doesn't need to draft an imperial edict, so he can't be lustful, right?
He doesn’t look like it from that physique! "Ran Qingxuan muttered softly.
"Why are you... thinking about things between men and women..." Fortunately, it was not yet fully light, otherwise Ran Qingxuan would definitely see his blushing face.
Ran Qingxuan's eyes rolled and he wanted to tease him, so he came close to him and spoke very seriously.
"If a man is not lustful, it means he has not met a lustful woman. If a woman is not lustful, it only means she has not met a man she likes!"
"You...you..." Gu Yanchen's face flushed. The place was so small that he couldn't move back two feet even if he wanted to. His teeth were chattering, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Sister-in-law, there seems to be a mouse..." Third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er said in a daze.
"I think I heard it too. Judging from the sound, the rat should be quite big. Would it come in and bite us?"
"Let's not move. Maybe they'll leave soon."
The conversation between the third sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law came from the side, and Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen opposite and smiled.
"It's just a big rat!"
Gu Yanchen had seen Ran Qingxuan's talking skills. As she spoke, he had no idea what words would come out of her mouth in the next second.
Ran Qingxuan pursed her lips, trying very hard to hold back her laughter. When she was about to laugh out loud, Gu Yanchen subconsciously reached out and covered her mouth with his hand.
Unexpectedly, he felt a warm and soft touch on the palm of his hand. His heart skipped a beat and Gu Yanchen subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand.
Sensing his discomfort, Ran Qingxuan quickly held down his hand as he was about to pull it back, and with a mischievous thought in mind, he gently kissed the palm of his hand.
Gu Yanchen's whole body tensed up instantly, and his eyes became misty.
Subconsciously, he thought of what Ran Qingxuan had just said...
"If a man is not lustful, it means he has not met a lustful woman. If a woman is not lustful, it only means she has not met a man she likes!"
So which type do they belong to now?
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and slowly loosened his hand, his fingertips lightly stroking the plump lips of the person in front of him, stirring up the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.
Gu Yanchen, like a possessed man, slowly approached that softness.
Feeling the approach of male hormones, Ran Qingxuan instantly put away his smile and realized that things seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction...
In her previous life, there were male teammates on the team, but they were only used as jokes or to ease the atmosphere. As for real fighting, she had no experience at all!
Sensing the scent of pine resin getting closer and closer, Ran Qingxuan became so nervous that he swallowed violently.
She had heard from her teammates that in situations like this, they should close their eyes, and then...
"The mouse should be gone. Let's take this opportunity to sleep for a while, otherwise we won't have a chance to rest during the daytime journey."
"good."
When he heard the voices of his eldest and third sister-in-law, Gu Yanchen instantly regained his senses.
His heart was beating wildly and Gu Yanchen didn't expect that he would be so unable to control himself.
In the gray sky, Ran Qingxuan just closed his eyes and pursed his lips, as if expecting something...
"What are you doing?"
A voice with a strong smile reached Ran Qingxuan's ears. Even though she had a thicker skin than a city wall, she instantly realized that she had been tricked.
Ran Qingxuan couldn't stand Gu Yanchen's half-smile, and instantly got up and slipped out of the quilt.
The vicious look seemed so pale and powerless at this moment. No matter how Gu Yanchen looked at it, he felt that Ran Qingxuan's eyes were expressing his grievances...
It’s such an injustice!
The noise of the falling ground startled the officer. He quickly stood up and found that it was the person on the cart who fell to the ground.
After glancing at the Gu family impatiently, the officer sat down and ignored them.
Ran Qingxuan pursed his lips and looked at Gu Yanchen who was smiling smugly, then stood up and gave him the middle finger while he was looking at her in confusion.
Then he got up quietly and lit a fire next to the cart.
The dew was heavy in the early autumn morning. As the firelight rose, the women of the Gu family felt the warmth coming from above their heads and looked up with squinted eyes.
Seeing Ran Qingxuan stirring the leftover porridge from last night on the fire, sister-in-law Zhou Furong quietly got up and stretched her body which had become a little stiff from sleeping.
The warmth brought by the fire dispelled the cold, and as the aroma of rice and meat wafted away, the exiled prisoners were awakened immediately by the smell.
Li Xinyuan, who had finally fallen asleep, smelled the smell and his hungry stomach started to play the empty city trick again.
The stomach was stimulated to reflux acid. Not only Li Xinyuan, but everyone who was awakened by the fragrance swallowed their saliva uncontrollably.
She raised her head slightly and looked towards the Gu family. The eyes of those who had woken up were almost popping out of their heads.
