Chapter 62 Just because she is Ran Qingxuan!
When I thought about what my sister-in-law said to support her, I felt a little amused.
After taking a fierce look in the direction of the donkey cart, Ran Qingxuan looked at his two sisters-in-law who were worried about him, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"My two sisters-in-law, you misunderstood. I couldn't get something out of my bag and I accidentally strangled myself. It's not what you think!"
...
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The two sisters-in-law anticipated many possibilities, but they never expected that things were not that complicated.
"What you said is true. Is it just an excuse to prevent us from worrying?"
Zhou Furong actually still didn't quite believe it and thought that Ran Qingxuan was trying to exonerate Gu Yanchen.
"It's true. My husband treats me very well. How could he bear to hit me?"
The two sisters-in-law saw that there was no grievance in Ran Qingxuan's eyes and his expression was very normal, so they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
"In that case, your third sister-in-law and I will be relieved!"
The two of them made a big joke and were too embarrassed to stay with Ran Qingxuan any longer. After saying a few words casually, they immediately left as if they were escaping.
Little did he know that when Gu Yanchen, who was in the donkey cart, heard Ran Qingxuan say, "He didn't hit me", he realized that his actions just now might have hurt her.
While worrying about his third brother, he also felt deeply guilty towards Ran Qingxuan who had always been worried about him.
But the team had not stopped since they started, and Gu Yanchen had no chance to ask, so he could only give up for the time being.
Because it took Ran Qingxuan a lot of time to treat Xiaodou, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when the group set out from the inn.
In order to speed up the process, Bu Wei directly ordered the team to rush to Xiaoweishan Town overnight without stopping.
They set off again after only a quarter of an hour's rest. Many people could not bear it and began to wail in pain.
Among them, the mother and daughter of the Li family suffered the most. Li Xinyuan always acted as if it was none of his business and did not even try to get involved in pulling the cart.
He would have accepted it if Li Yuan was the only one in the car, but it happened that the chief of the officials, Bu Wei, was sitting on it.
He had long been dissatisfied with these officials, so let alone helping to pull the cart. If he didn't pull it, the work naturally fell on Zhao Chunxiu and Li Si.
The road was almost never flat along the way, and the blisters on her feet broke and began to bleed. The lips of both mother and daughter were pale, and their teeth were chattering. Li Si was so numb in the end that she couldn't even cry.
On the other hand, the Gu family had a donkey cart as a means of transportation. Whoever was tired could sit on it. The Chen family who followed them benefited even more. Sun Qiulan felt so comfortable sitting on it while holding her child.
Li Si listened to the constant "clacking" sound made by the donkey as it walked, and his teeth were about to break.
Others have donkeys pulling carts, but they are really donkeys!
Tired, hungry and thirsty, when almost everyone could not hold on any longer, an official could no longer bear the strain of traveling all night and found Bu Wei and asked for a rest.
The prisoners' physical strength had reached its limit. Bu Wei felt nothing sitting on the cart, but when he saw the other officers' faces full of fatigue, he agreed to rest for a while.
"Rest here for a quarter of an hour."
Except for the Gu family, the other prisoners collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion after hearing it, surprisingly without making any sound. It can be seen how torturous it was to walk for several hours.
Ran Qingxuan also took the opportunity to replace the water with glucose and distributed it to everyone.
Although the women of the Gu family would occasionally sit on the donkey cart to rest for a while, the route they walked was almost the same as that of everyone else. They knew that it was better to save the energy to cry.
Holding the water bag, Ran Qingxuan stood at the back of the donkey cart and prepared himself mentally. However, he did not expect to see a dark shadow coming towards him when he opened the curtain.
Ran Qingxuan subconsciously raised the water bag and was about to throw it over. Gu Yanchen, who was hiding in the darkness, seemed to realize that he was a bit scary and quickly spoke in a low voice.
"It's me, don't be afraid!"
After hearing the familiar voice, Ran Qingxuan quickly withdrew a water bag.
Climbing onto the donkey cart swiftly, Ran Qingxuan placed the water bag in his hand and turned to get off, but Gu Yanchen grabbed his wrist accurately.
Ran Qingxuan shouted in a low voice, "Let go", but Gu Yanchen slowly pulled the person closer.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Um?"
Ran Qingxuan was somewhat puzzled, and subconsciously replied: "It's not a wedding night, what the hell is it that hurts?"
Even though he had seen this before, when such vicious words came out of her mouth, Gu Yanchen almost couldn't help but throw her out.
"Can't you be more serious?"
"Tsk, you sound like you were serious before!"
What he meant was what happened between the two of them the last time they entered the donkey cart.
Gu Yanchen clenched his fists so tightly that they made crackling sounds, but he had no way to deal with Ran Qingxuan.
He grabbed the water bag and took a few big gulps as if to vent his anger, but in his heart he was thinking that any water brought in by Ran Qingxuan was especially sweet.
"I used a bit too much force, and I don't know if I hurt you before..."
Ran Qingxuan then realized that he had overheard the conversation between her and her two sisters-in-law.
Flexing his wrist, Ran Qingxuan shrugged indifferently.
"Luckily, it was just a red spot at the time, and my eldest and third sisters-in-law accidentally saw it. They were just worried about me, but they were a little surprised..."
"What's the surprise?"
"I'm surprised that they chose to support me unconditionally. I just don't know if they will still support me like they do now if I divorce you after arriving in the northwest!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire car fell silent, so quiet that only the sound of each other's heartbeats could be heard.
But it was obvious that Gu Yanchen's heart skipped a beat...
Ran Qingxuan sat quietly, her eyes looking in the direction of Gu Yanchen without hesitation, so calm that it seemed as if the word "divorce" did not come from her mouth.
Gu Yanchen hid himself in the darkness. He admitted that when Ran Qingxuan said the word divorce, he was panicked for a moment and almost blurted out the word "no".
He didn't know what Ran Qingxuan meant by suddenly mentioning this, but his subconscious kept telling him that he must never divorce Ran Qingxuan!
For the first time, Gu Yanchen seriously asked himself in his heart what kind of feelings he had for Ran Qingxuan?
Grateful for her saving his family?
Admire the intelligence and talent she has demonstrated along the way?
Or was he simply attracted by her personal charm?
But no matter how hard he racked his brains to figure out which one it was, in the end he found that it seemed to be all of them!
In an instant, Gu Yanchen's heart and mind were filled with only one thought.
That is, he had been deeply attracted to Ran Qingxuan since he didn't know when, regardless of what she did, simply because she was Ran Qingxuan!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Gu Yanchen seemed to have found the answer.
Slowly approaching the person opposite, Gu Yanchen nervously and accurately grabbed Ran Qingxuan's hand, his heart beating wildly.
The firmness coming from her hand made Ran Qingxuan a little stunned, but in an instant, her hand responded with even more firm strength.
Gu Yanchen was momentarily dazed by the uncertainty, but then he quickly realized that this was an affirmation given to him by Ran Qingxuan!
