Wang Yueshan suddenly stood up!
But she looked around and couldn't find that tall figure. Ignoring her children's attempts to stop her, she ran outside frantically.
After leaving the Wang residence, she kept running forward, following the voice in her head.
Xie Li was about to stand up and chase after him, but Ye Jun stopped her because she was already pregnant.
“My lady, you and He Xiaosheng can stay here in peace. Xiao Rui, Xiao Zhi, and I will go after them right away.”
Helpless, Xie Li could only nod and watch her husband and brothers chase after them outside. All her thoughts drifted outside with them.
Because the room was bustling with activity at the time, not many people noticed her actions.
But Lin Yan and Xie Muqing, with their sharp eyes, immediately noticed Wang Yueshan's unusual behavior. The two exchanged a glance and both saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
After Xie Rui and the others chased after them, they realized that something was wrong.
Although it was an incognito visit, there were still dozens of imperial guards and secret guards accompanying her. Lin Yan directly gave instructions to the few disguised imperial guards beside her:
"You guys hurry up and catch up with her, see what happened to Madam Xie."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the Imperial Guards quickly disappeared from their sight.
Having worked on the farm since childhood, Wang Yueshan was already in good health. Although she had lived a life of luxury in the Xie family for many years, her health had improved even more after these long journeys.
Therefore, she ran extremely fast.
As a result, Xie Rui and his group, who had fallen far behind her, were unable to catch up with her in time.
Seeing the Imperial Guards catch up and overtake them, chasing after them, his tense heart relaxed a lot.
Looking at these imperial guards, Xie Rui knew in his heart that it was that person's order, and his cold heart turned hot.
He couldn't help but look back, but because they had already run some distance, they couldn't see the Wang residence at all.
But he seemed to see that pretty figure instead.
Unfortunately, that person is now far beyond the reach of a mortal like him...
Wang Yueshan didn't know what was wrong with her either.
There seemed to be a voice in her mind, urging her to keep running forward, as if there were unknown secrets waiting for her to discover.
After a long time.
She finally stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.
The Imperial Guards had been quietly following her from a distance of a few meters.
A moment later, Xie Rui and the others finally caught up with her.
They were already panting heavily from exhaustion. Without even catching his breath, he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern:
"Mother, what's wrong?!"
Wang Yueshan ignored them.
Because at this moment, a voice kept echoing in her mind, urging her to go into the temple.
Under the watchful eyes of Xie Rui and the others, she slowly pushed open the dilapidated door of the temple, making as if to walk into the temple.
Fearing danger inside the temple, the imperial guards immediately drew their swords and rushed forward to protect Wang Yueshan closely behind them.
As they entered the ruined temple, the scene inside slowly came into view.
Inside the hall lay two men, dressed in rags and covered in filth; they assumed they were beggars.
Even Xie Rui and the others who came in later did the same.
Even so, the Imperial Guards remained vigilant and did not relax their guard in the slightest.
It is now early autumn.
The two beggars were dressed in thin summer clothes. Whether they were unconscious or sleeping too soundly, they did not wake up even though so many people came in and made quite a commotion.
Because they were attending a wedding banquet today, Xie Rui and the others didn't have much money on them. They searched their entire bodies and only found a few taels of loose silver.
He then placed all the loose silver in front of the two beggars.
Just as they turned to leave, Wang Yueshan suddenly rushed up from behind the Imperial Guards.
"mother?"
Before Xie Rui could even stop her, she suddenly knelt down in front of the two beggars.
Wang Yueshan ignored his words and eagerly searched the two beggars.
Once she could feel their vibrant, beating pulses, she couldn't help but lean against one of the beggars, laughing and crying at the same time.
Not only Xie Rui, but everyone else in the hall was stunned, looking at her with bewilderment.
A moment later, Wang Yueshan, wiping away her tears, turned to her two sons and instructed them:
"Rui'er, Zhi'er, quickly carry your father and elder brother home!"
Now, everyone in the hall, including the few guards who could not express their emotions, was so shocked that they could fit an egg in their mouths.
The Xie brothers, Xie Rui and Xie Zhi, were completely dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
They couldn't believe they could connect these two dirty beggars with their incredibly brave father and elder brother.
"What?! Father? Eldest brother?"
After realizing what had happened, they immediately ran to the two beggars.
When they lifted the two men's messy beards and hair, two familiar faces came into view.
The two young men's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Father! Eldest brother!"
The two emaciated bodies under their command were burning hot, clearly due to fever. Xie Rui and his brother disregarded everything else and quickly carried them on their backs.
The imperial guards present couldn't help but glance at Wang Yueshan a few more times.
That's so weird!
They racked their brains trying to figure out how she knew there would be people in that dilapidated temple more than ten miles away.
The body on their backs was burning hot, and Xie Rui and Xie Zhi quickened their pace, wishing they could fly home.
Although the two large men on her back were excessively thin, they were still quite heavy due to their height.
The two gradually found it difficult.
Fortunately, they had the help of several highly skilled imperial guards, so the journey of more than ten miles was relatively easy for them.
As dusk approached, the newlyweds had been led to their bridal chamber, and the guests gradually dispersed.
Because they were worried about Wang Yueshan, Lin Yan and Xie Muqing did not return to the palace, but instead returned to the Xie residence.
