Chapter 71: Rewriting the Destiny of Others
Qi Minghe was angry about what Ma Kui had done, but he didn't expect that the next moment he was being dragged by Ran Qingxuan to a deserted place.
It was the first time that Qi Minghe was dragged away by a girl like this. His face turned red instantly, but when he saw the coldness in Ran Qingxuan's eyes, he realized that he was overthinking.
Before he could stand firm, Ran Qingxuan immediately spoke in a deep voice when facing him.
"You said your family is in Cangzhou, and your last name is Qi, so you are the eldest son in the family?"
Although Qi Minghe was a little surprised why Ran Qingxuan asked so detailed questions, he still answered honestly.
"I am from the Qi family in Cangzhou, but I don't know who you mean by the eldest son. My eldest uncle also has an eldest son. My father is the second son, so I am also the eldest son. My third uncle only has an eldest daughter, but the second son has two..."
Ran Qingxuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he asked directly: "Who is the head of your family?"
"My father, Qi Hengsheng!"
Ran Qingxuan's eyes widened as he realized that the eldest son of the Qi family mentioned in the book who was killed by bandits while escorting goods was probably the person in front of him.
If the eldest son of the Qi family mentioned in the book is Qi Minghe's uncle, then the head of the family would not be Qi Hengsheng, but Qi Minghe's grandfather.
I didn't expect that because of my third brother's matter, I accidentally saved this doomed man...
If the two of them hadn't arrived today, Qi Minghe would have surely died at the hands of the bandits, and the batch of medicinal materials would have been robbed by the men in black. Without that one of the medicines, Cangzhou would have been struck by a major epidemic and the people would have suffered!
The more she thought about it, the more Ran Qingxuan dared not think further. She had inadvertently changed Qi Minghe's fate, and she had no idea what kind of chain reaction her action would cause in the future.
She was a little unsteady on her feet for a moment, and when Gu Yanchen noticed it, he took the lead before Qi Minghe to support her.
"How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Yanchen's eyes were filled with worry.
Qi Minghe, who was standing aside and had already extended his hand, silently withdrew his hand, feeling a little disappointed for some reason.
Ran Qingxuan signaled that he was fine, stood up straight and said solemnly to Qi Minghe.
"Master Qi, there are some things I cannot explain to you clearly, but if you trust me, you can hurry back with the herbs as soon as daybreak. If possible, I hope you can tell the family to prepare more herbs, especially... the medicine to cure the epidemic!"
Ran Qingxuan spoke the last sentence in a very low voice, but the two people who were close heard it clearly.
There was a hint of hesitation in Gu Yanchen's eyes, but he did not question her meaning. Knowing that Ran Qingxuan had such a great ability to create objects out of thin air, it was not surprising that he knew something in advance.
After all, the Emperor of Gu Jiabei had ordered the confiscation of his property, and Ran Qingxuan had informed them in advance.
But when Qi Minghe heard these words, they had a different meaning.
Although he couldn't see the expression on Ran Qingxuan's face, he could sense the unquestionable attitude and a flash of panic in her eyes.
They had just met for the first time today, and if someone heard and spread such words, it would probably cause chaos among the people.
Qi Minghe didn't dare to respond casually, nor did he dare to joke about his own family.
"Miss, are you kidding me? If there was an epidemic during the famine years, it would be understandable, but Cangzhou is a basin, the people have plenty of food and clothing, and there is no shortage of good farmland to eat. How could it be as you said?"
Gu Yanchen originally wanted to leave after asking about his third brother, but he knew that Ran Qingxuan was not the kind of person who would rely on rumors.
Moreover, Cangzhou is the only way for them to go to the northwest. If an epidemic really breaks out there, the government will definitely not care about their lives as the Gu family members are prisoners.
If he comes into contact with the infected people in Cangzhou again, then he will be helpless!
Ran Qingxuan knew that an epidemic was a big deal, and he also knew that expecting people to believe it with just a few words was no different from a fairy tale.
But if she knew what the fate of the people of Cangzhou would be, she would still keep herself out of it and not make any response.
Then Ran Qingxuan had to ask herself, what was the point of saving Qi Minghe?
What is the significance of Ran Qingxuan coming to this strange world?
Is it just to change the Gu family’s inevitable fate of death?
"I trust you!"
Just when Ran Qingxuan fell into deep thought, anxious and not knowing how to convince others, Gu Yanchen's firm response rang in his ears.
At that moment, these four short words blew away the anxiety in Ran Qingxuan's heart. Qi Minghe looked at the two of them and a hint of shock unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
He could tell that Gu Yanchen was not just talking, he really believed what Ran Qingxuan said from the bottom of his heart.
Such determination forced Qi Minghe to reconsider Ran Qingxuan's warning.
"The Qi family is in the medicinal materials business. If we say that hoarding some medicinal materials is harmless to the family, it will cost us some words at most, or at least some money.
But if what the girl said is true, it is not impossible for the Qi family to take a risk this time! ”
"Are you sure? If you can't convince the elders at home, then it's best not to force it. Otherwise, if the incident doesn't happen, you can blame my wife for what she did today."
When Gu Yanchen said this, a sense of oppression unconsciously emanated from his body.
Qi Minghe was secretly shocked, his spine felt cold, and he subconsciously took a step back.
However, when Ran Qingxuan heard the words "my wife", the gloom in his heart was instantly swept away, and when he looked at Gu Yanchen, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.
Gu Yanchen's momentum was too strong, Qi Minghe took two steps back and immediately said.
"No, no, no. I just think this matter is very serious and I can't make the decision alone. If possible, I will go back and discuss it with my father as soon as possible before making a decision."
Ran Qingxuan also thought this made sense. After all, everyone would say "let's stock up on medicine quickly" when they meet, as there might be a major epidemic...
Isn't this pure insanity!
If she met those with stubborn ideas, she might be tied up and burned to death as a monster bringing disaster to the country and the people when a disaster struck. After all, how could she know it first when no one else knew?
Ran Qingxuan knew that this was all he could say. If Qi Ming sent a congratulatory letter, he would go back and prepare. As for what the preparations would be, that would depend on how he negotiated with his family.
But if you don't believe it, Ran Qingxuan has already warned you, so just make sure you have a clear conscience.
It is important to mind your own business and take care of your own people.
"In that case, there is no need to say more. Just leave as soon as we finish our questions."
When the three of them returned, Ma Kui was talking to the group of bodyguards. When he saw them come back, he walked up to Qi Minghe first.
"Master Qi, three years ago I really shouldn't have taken private jobs while escorting the Qi family's goods. I was the only one who did it. When I return to Cangzhou, I will ask to leave the escort agency.
I also ask Master Qi not to pursue the matter in consideration of the escort agency's dedicated escort. Once my brothers and I are put on the blacklist of the company, it will be impossible for us to make a living in this industry in the future. I also ask Master Qi... to give us a way out! ”
Ma Kui's words were sincere and his face showed an expression of deep regret.
