Chapter 450: Lord Gu is injured and unconscious
"Cheng Fu was worried that we would report him to the police, so he signed a letter of guarantee in front of the villagers and the elders of Yanliu Village, saying that he would no longer be with Widow Xu and would live a good life at home. Cui'er was also a fool, so she believed him and cried bitterly. She also told them about her father asking her to divorce him yesterday. It was almost impossible to resolve the matter."
Xu Yongwang said this with a helpless look on his face.
If she wasn't his biological sister, he really wouldn't want to care.
It's terrible to watch.
Jiang asked again, "What about the baby in Widow Xu's belly?"
Xu Yongwang shook his head and said, "That widow Xu is not a person who would keep quiet. Who knows whose child she is carrying? Cheng Fu denies it, and she has no way to prove it."
Jiang sighed, "I don't know why your sister likes Cheng Fu. He is a gambler and restless. I have never seen him do anything worthwhile. He is just a liar."
"Who knows?" Xu Yongwang touched his stomach and looked at her, "Wife, do you have anything to eat? I'm still hungry after running all day."
"You didn't have time to eat in Yanliu Village?" Jiang said, walking towards the kitchen, "Fortunately, I left some for you in the pot. Go to the main room and wait. The food will be here soon."
Seeing that his wife had specially left food for him, Xu Yongwang happily followed her into the kitchen.
"I'll do it myself. My wife is the best. She knows to save food for me."
Jiang glanced at him unhappily.
"If you weren't my man, would I pay any attention to you?"
Song Yuntang was listening in the room, thinking it was just a fun thing, and after listening to it he didn't take it seriously.
…
The house was relatively quiet during the next few days during the Chinese New Year. It snowed for seven or eight days before the New Year, and it started raining one day after the snow stopped.
It was raining heavily, making it inconvenient to go out, so Song Yuntang stayed quietly at home and did not go to Anyang County.
That day, Song Yuntang was sitting in the house.
"Xia Ning, is there no news from the county?"
Xia Ning shook his head. "I went to the farm early this morning when the rain was light. There was no news from the county town. Everything should be fine."
The current peace and tranquility was exactly what Song Yuntang wanted.
She turned over in the recliner and suddenly felt a bloating in her lower abdomen. She suddenly remembered that she had been too busy in the past few days and seemed to have not paid attention to her body.
"Xia Ning, how long has it been since I last had my period?"
As far as she could remember, she had her period not long after Xu Qingye left, but the amount was not much, so she just thought it was the effect of the contraceptive pills she had taken.
I got busy after that and haven’t had time to come. It seems like I haven’t been here since then until now.
Xia Ning recalled it carefully.
"It seems that he hasn't come in the past two months..." When she said this, she paused and looked at Song Yuntang in surprise, "Could it be that the master..."
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows.
"But I remember that I took medicine every time."
Xu Qingye forgot about it because he was in a bad mood the day before he left. Later he remembered that he had taken the medicine the next day.
A few days later, I had my period again.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a hurried knock on the door outside the yard.
"County Lady! County Lady! Are you home?"
Song Yuntang looked puzzled.
"Who would come home in such heavy rain?" She looked at Xia Ning, "Hurry and open the door."
"yes."
Xia Ning went to the gate of the courtyard holding an umbrella.
When I opened the door, I saw the man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. I didn't recognize him for a moment. "Who are you? What do you want to see my master?"
The man wiped his face.
"I'm Wang Yan, a man of King Xuanlang, and I want to discuss something with the county lady."
Seeing the person coming, Xia Ning hurriedly let him in.
"County Lady, it's Guard Wang Yan."
Song Yuntang sat up straight.
"Brother Wang Yan came to see me, but what happened in the provincial capital?"
Wang Yan came under the eaves and saluted Song Yuntang, "County Lady, Lord Gu's carriage slipped and overturned while he was out, hitting his head. He has been in a coma for three days. The doctor didn't help, and his condition is getting worse. Please go and see him, County Lady."
Song Yuntang stood up with a serious expression.
"Is the carriage rollover definitely an accident?"
Wang Yan shook his head.
"I don't know if it was an accident or not. It rained heavily recently, and King Heng asked you to inspect the dam downstream of Cuihua River, and that's when this happened."
Song Yuntang hurriedly instructed Xia Ning.
"Xianing, go and prepare the carriage."
Xia Ning knew the situation was urgent and hurried to the backyard.
When Jiang and Xu Yongwang heard the noise, they hurried out of the house with worried looks on their faces.
"Tang'er, it's raining so hard, are you going out?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "Dad, Mom, something happened with Master Gu, I have to go take care of it."
Nothing can happen to Gu Lansheng.
If he hadn't been watching Li Chixiao, there was no telling what kind of trouble he would have caused.
It's freezing cold and raining today. If something really happens, many people will die.
Besides, she is now the county lord.
She already has the opportunity to access higher power. If Li Chixiao is worried that she will find out the whole story and leak it out, he might kill her to silence her.
Maybe both the Song and Xu families will be affected.
Jiang held her hand.
"Then be careful on the road. When the weather is clearer and your parents finish their farm work at home, we will go to the county town."
Song Yuntang smiled and nodded, "Okay, when I finish my work with Master Gu, I will wait for my parents to come to Anyang County."
Xu Wencheng also came out of the house.
"Sister-in-law, how about I go with you? Maybe I can help."
Song Yuntang shook his head. "Aren't you going to General Shi's place tomorrow? You'd better not delay your studies. With Xia Ning and Brother Wang Yan by your side, nothing should happen."
She didn't dare let Xu Wencheng go with her.
Li Chixiao is a cruel and ruthless person.
Wencheng has not yet mastered the kung fu, and if anything happens to him, she will not be able to explain to her family.
She is a county lady now after all, and Li Chixiao will at least not attack her in public.
Xu Wencheng could only blame himself for not having enough skills. It seemed that he would have to practice hard in the future so as not to drag down his sister-in-law.
"Okay then, sister-in-law, take care of yourself. When the teacher allows me to take a leave, I will go to Anyang County to reunite with my parents and sister-in-law."
Song Yuntang smiled as she looked at her brother who was now half a head taller than her.
"The martial arts exam will be held next month, so you have to do your best. My parents and I will be waiting for your good news at home."
Xu Wencheng nodded quickly.
"I'll do my best."
As they were talking, Xia Ning had already put on his straw raincoat and hat, and was leading the carriage to the gate of the courtyard.
"Master, the carriage is ready."
Seeing this, Xu Wencheng hurriedly picked up an umbrella and covered Song Yuntang's head.
"Let me take my sister-in-law to the carriage."
Song Yuntang nodded, lifted her skirt and walked quickly to the carriage, and got on the carriage with Xia Ning's help.
Her clothes didn't get wet, but her shoes and socks were not waterproof and got wet as soon as she stepped on them.
Jiang hurriedly took two pairs of shoes from the house, covered them with an umbrella and stuffed them into the carriage.
"Tang'er, take these two pairs of shoes with you. It rains every day, so change your shoes and socks when they get wet. Don't catch a cold."
Song Yuntang responded.
"I know, thank you, mom."
Xu Wencheng put away the umbrella in his hand, leaned against the edge of the carriage, and got under Jiang's umbrella.
"Sister-in-law, be careful on the road."
Song Yuntang looked at the mother and son, "Mom and Wencheng, go back to the house quickly, don't get wet."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain.
"Brother Wang Yan, Xia Ning, let's go."
