The person Guan Xiaoyu sent to Yunhe Martial Arts School to inquire about the news came back with a report that the owner and his wife were out. It seemed that the team escorting the county magistrate's daughter to Lin County to get married encountered robbers on the way.
But the specific situation is unknown. We will have to wait until Guan’s father and mother come back to find out.
After hearing the news, Guan Xiaoyu paced back and forth in the room feeling restless. Her belly was very big and her due date was approaching. She looked so worried and anxious that Shen Laoer was terrified, fearing that she would give birth prematurely due to anger.
"My dear, please sit down. There's no point in being so anxious. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are very skilled. Nothing will happen to them..."
But such a big thing can't help but make people worry.
Not only was he worried about being injured by bandits, he was also worried about being blamed by the county magistrate!
The accident that happened to the daughter of County Magistrate Lu on the way to her wedding would have some impact on her reputation. In any case, the eldest brother, as the guard, must have been blamed for improper protection.
And judging from the current situation, both Guan's father and mother are gone, so the situation may be quite serious.
If anything happens to Miss Lu, the escort personnel and the people from Yunhe Martial Arts School will be derelict in their duty and will definitely be blamed, which will affect the reputation of Yunhe Martial Arts School!
Seeing Guan Xiaoyu anxious, Liu Wanyun and Zhang Xinyue were also anxious, but they could only worry. They were pregnant and could not go to the scene to check. They also had no phone to call Guan's father and mother directly to find out what was going on.
Zhang Xinyue couldn't help but yelled, "You three brothers, quickly send someone to find out!"
Shen Lao San: "Xie Bufan has already gone back to the government office to inquire..."
Shen Lao Er: "Someone from Yunhe Martial Arts School has also gone to the scene to gather information..."
Boss Shen: "It will take at least a day to get back the news."
What this means is that they are too impatient now. It has only been less than half a day and the result cannot be known so quickly.
Liu Wanyun arranged for everyone to take a walk in the garden, hoping to find something to do to distract themselves.
The best way to calm your mind is fishing.
However, the only ones who could sit quietly by the fish pond were Boss Shen and Liu Wanyun.
Zhang Xinyue couldn't sit still at all. She took a handful of fish food and slammed it into the pond, attracting the fish to run towards her. She shouted excitedly, "You guys are fishing so slowly! Chen Chaobei, get a fishing net and just scoop it up! Done!"
Shen Chaobei really listened to her and cooperated with him in fishing.
Liu Wanyun, who was standing by, looked at the swaying water and said helplessly, "Brother Dong, are we still fishing?"
Shen Chaodong: "Let's just sit here and meditate."
Guan Xiaoyu was also calm. When she was in the house just now, she was pacing around anxiously. But when she came out of the house, she sat by the pool, staring at the water in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
But seeing her like this, Shen Lao Er became even more worried, "Madam, are you okay?"
Guan Xiaoyu's eyes were vague as she said calmly, "Is it true that people can't have too much happiness all at once? Once there's too much, God will take some of it back."
"Ma'am, don't scare me!"
Shen Laoer grabbed her hand, attracted her attention and asked her to look at him.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, it's not as serious as you think. My parents-in-law are just going to check it out. It'll be fine. As for my eldest brother... he should be fine too. Don't worry!"
Guan Xiaoyu stared into his eyes, her nose sour, “Shen Chaonan, you don’t understand.”
Here, she finally has parents who truly love her and a husband who treats her very well. She is so afraid that God will take all of these away in an instant.
Liu Wanyun, who was standing by, noticed her abnormality and was about to get up to comfort her, but was stopped by the man next to her.
Shen Chaodong shook his head, “Leave it to my second brother!”
Shen Chaonan hugged Guan Xiaoyu in his arms, "My wife, you are just too worried and too pessimistic. You think everything is bad..."
He had only said half of his words of persuasion when he saw the servant leading Xie Bufan in.
Apparently there's some new news.
Xie Bufan didn't wait for anyone to ask. As soon as he reached them, he said directly, "I went to the county magistrate's office to find out. Mr. Lu also went with the wedding procession. He has returned now. He is not injured, just a little frightened."
"According to him, bandits appeared out of nowhere and not only robbed the money, but also wanted to kidnap the bride and take her to the mountain stronghold as his wife. A group of people started fighting. Senior Brother Xiaochun protected Miss Lu and fled in the carriage, but they were chased to the edge of a cliff, and the carriage lost control and fell off..."
"Ah! How could this happen?"
Zhang Xinyue exclaimed.
Guan Xiaoyu was also shocked, and the handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously crumpled into a ball.
"Is that person okay? Where are my parents? Any news?"
Xie Bufan: "According to Master Lu, the cliff is quite high and they can't get down. They can only inform both families and then send people to look for them... My uncle and aunt must have received the news and rushed to the scene to look for them..."
"But from Mr. Lu's tone, falling from such a height would be extremely dangerous!"
Maybe it was because she had watched too many TV dramas, but Liu Wanyun's first reaction was that the eldest brother and Miss Lu must be fine. They must have colluded and done this on purpose. They must have wanted to take the opportunity to elope.
It must be like this, it must be like this, it must be like this, otherwise it would be too miserable for Miss Lu. She cannot marry the man she loves in this life, and can only die together with him.
She couldn't help but ask, "Where are those bandits? Do you know where they came from?"
Xie Bufan glanced at her and found the point of his sister-in-law's concern a little strange. "Those bandits stole the things and ran away. They must be from the nearby mountains. Mr. Lu didn't mention it, but the county magistrates on both sides should send people to capture them soon!"
I finally got some news, but it was a sad thing. Although I am not a close relative of Guan Xiaochun, I can still be considered a good friend.
Everyone was still feeling down, especially Guan Xiaoyu. She was worried that her parents would be too heartbroken after losing the apprentice they had raised like a son. But she wasn't with them right now, so she couldn't comfort them, and she was constantly worried.
After waiting in the mansion for two days and still receiving no news of her parents' return, Guan Xiaoyu became more and more anxious.
Then, there were signs of premature labor.
It was the middle of the night when the engine started. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep. Suddenly, she began to feel uncomfortable.
She reached out and grabbed Shen Laoer from behind, "Chaonan, Chaonan, my stomach hurts a little!"
Shen Lao Er was drowsy and couldn't fall asleep. During this period, he was always tense because Doctor Xie said that his wife might be carrying twins in her belly, which would make her more likely to give birth prematurely than other mothers!
He sat up immediately and asked anxiously, "Madam, what's wrong? What's wrong? Are you going to give birth?"
Guan Xiaoyu frowned. "I don't know. It hurt a little bit just now, but now it seems to be gone..."
But just as she finished speaking, she cried out again.
"It hurts again..."
Shen Lao Er quickly got out of bed and shouted to the door, "Qiao'er, Qiao'er, go get Doctor Zhang!"
Guan Xiaoyu half-raised herself and said to him, "I feel like I might be giving birth soon—"
