Chapter 48 Going to Meng Mansion
At the foot of a hill, in the woods.
Not long after Su Yuan left, a group of soldiers came riding towards them with long swords on their waists.
The woman in gorgeous clothes who was leading the group had a gloomy face and was shouting in a cold voice:
"Soldiers, hurry up and show me your weapons. Follow me up the mountain to encircle and suppress the bandits."
After saying this, she looked at the nearby Banshi Mountain with a worried look and murmured:
"My son has been in that bandit mountain for a whole night. I hope nothing happens to him, or I will skin these thieves alive."
However, she had only just finished speaking.
A soldier next to him suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed:
"Your Highness, look quickly, the man sitting under the tree in front crying, looks like the young master?"
Upon hearing this, King Nanyou looked over with a puzzled look.
I thought to myself.
Could it be that the soldier is dazzled?
However, when she saw the man's appearance clearly, her expression changed and she cried out in surprise:
"Qiu Bai."
When King Nanyou saw that it was really his son, he was excited and hurried to Ji Qiubai. He dismounted from his horse and helped him up, asking:
"Qiu Bai, what happened to you? Why are you alone in the woods? Didn't my mother hear that you were captured by bandits on Banshi Mountain?"
When Ji Qiubai saw King Nanyou, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stood up with the help of his mother.
Before I could even open my mouth to complain, I heard her asking me questions first.
Ji Qiubai pursed his lips and told the story again with sobs:
"I, I was abducted by bandits to the mountain village yesterday, but, but they died inexplicably last night, so I took the opportunity to run down here."
He subconsciously did not tell King Nanyou about Su Yuan.
His intuition told him.
If he told it, the masked thief would definitely be in trouble.
After hearing this, King Nanyou was somewhat surprised, and narrowed his eyes slightly to confirm:
"All dead in one night?"
Ji Qiubai wiped his tears with a handkerchief and nodded:
"Yes, when I came down the mountain today, I saw corpses all over the ground, not a single living person. That's why I didn't dare to stay up there any longer, and I ran to this woods alone to grieve."
King Nanyou sighed, looked Ji Qiubai up and down, and said with concern:
"Are you okay? Did those bandits hurt you yesterday?"
Ji Qiubai shook his head, lifted his legs, and said aggrievedly:
"My child is fine. It's just that my legs and feet are sore and swollen from walking all the way down the mountain this morning. Mother, I want to go back?"
When King Nanyou heard Ji Qiubai say this, he glared at him and scolded him:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten who it was that wanted to venture into the martial arts world and ran away without his servants?"
"Now you've just made it to Tongcheng and you've been robbed by bandits and taken to the mountains. If you weren't lucky enough to encounter this kind of thing, how could you stand here and talk to the Queen Mother?"
Ji Qiubai pouted in dissatisfaction, but this time he did not refute and lowered his head, which was unusual for him.
King Nanyou saw him like this and finally couldn't bear to lecture him anymore, so he sighed for a while.
She ordered her men to take people to the mountain to investigate and hand the matter over to the officials of Tongcheng to handle, while she herself led Ji Qiubai back to Jiangzhou.
Meng Mansion.
Meng Yunqiao drove his carriage and stopped outside the mansion.
As soon as you enter the room, you will see two solemn stone lions outside the door. The door is black with a gold-plated plaque hanging on the top, showing wealth everywhere.
She jumped down from the front room and said cheerfully to Su Yuan in the carriage:
"Sister, we are at my house, come down quickly."
Su Yuan heard the voice and lifted the carriage curtain, jumped off the carriage, and said to Meng Yunqiao:
"Take me to see Nanchu. I haven't been home all night. I'm afraid he has been worried."
Meng Yunqiao nodded, called the servant at the door, asked her to stop the carriage, and led Su Yuan to the backyard.
As she walked, she sighed:
"Brother-in-law Nan, you are probably in my brother's room right now. When I went to pick you up last night, he refused to go to rest, saying that he couldn't sleep and it would be better for him to help take care of the patient."
"He will definitely be happy to see you return safely, so you can take him to catch up on some sleep."
Hearing this, Su Yuan pursed his lips and hummed softly.
As the two were talking, they soon arrived outside Meng Yunlan's room.
Meng Yunqiao pushed open the door quickly and led Su Yuan in. As she walked, she raised her chin and pointed to the bed, saying with some pride:
"Look, I was right, Brother-in-law Nan is really here!"
Su Yuan raised his eyes and looked over.
Meng Yunlan, with a pale face and half his hair loose, sat leaning on the edge of the bed, while Nan Chu was talking to him.
When the two heard the noise at the door, they turned around to look.
Nan Chuyi looked indifferent at first when he saw Su Yuan walking behind him.
He was stunned.
After realizing what was happening, Nan Chu hurriedly stood up and walked towards his wife.
Seeing him so anxious, Su Yuan shook her head and smiled faintly. When her husband came closer, she put her arm around his slender waist and started to show concern for him.
On the bed.
When Meng Yunlan saw her sister swaggeringly pushed open the door of her boudoir, she wanted to scold her, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Su Yuan following in.
He lowered his head and sighed, and said nothing more.
However, Meng Yunlan did not speak, but the wronged sister spoke. She walked to the bed, glanced at her brother's face, pursed her lips and said:
"Brother, how do you feel now? You don't know that you were lying on the ground yesterday, your face as white as paper and covered in blood. We were really scared."
"Don't keep things to yourself in the future. The doctor told you that you have a stagnation of qi in your heart and an old illness has recurred, but you haven't sought medical treatment in time."
Hearing this, Meng Yunlan pursed her lips, nodded and said softly:
"Okay, I won't do that again."
After hearing his agreement, Meng Yunqiao glanced at the people standing with their heads down on both sides of the bed and continued:
"Well, can you lend me Wenqing and Wenxiu later? I have something to tell them. I'll tell you why later. It's not convenient now."
She looked at Meng Yunlan eagerly, waiting for his consent.
I thought to myself.
Whatever my sister asks me to do, I must do it well.
Let my brother keep it a secret later.
Humph, it’s absolutely foolproof.
Meng Yunlan looked puzzled, glanced at her sister, pursed her lips and agreed:
"Yes, sure."
Seeing that it was done, Meng Yunqiao smiled and said happily:
"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest. I'll take the person away now."
After that, she asked the two to follow her, and as she walked out, she called Su Yuan to join her:
"Sister, come on, I'll take you to the guest room to rest, and by the way, we'll do what we talked about in the carriage, hehe."
Su Yuan glanced at the person leading his friend.
It became clear in an instant.
She curled her lips, took Nan Chu's hand, and nodded politely to Meng Yunlan on the bed:
"Mr. Meng, I'm going to take Nan Chu to rest now. Please take care of yourself."
Meng Yunlan glanced at the two people's clasped hands, lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and whispered:
"good."
After talking to Meng Yunlan, Su Yuan turned his gaze back to his friend and said with a faint smile:
"Come on, take me to the guest room."
Meng Yunqiao nodded, led the group out of his brother's boudoir, and walked towards the guest house.
After walking around the corridor and courtyard, about an incense stick of time later, they arrived at the guest house.
Su Yuan looked down at Nan Chu and said a few words in a gentle voice:
"You go to bed first. I have something to do now. Um... I'll be back to accompany you in about a cup of tea."
After listening to this, Nan Chu nodded slightly and agreed:
"Okay, my wife, you go ahead."
Seeing that he was so well behaved, Su Yuan curled up the corners of his lips, rubbed Nan Chu's little head and said:
"Okay, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she winked at Meng Yunqiao and walked straight to the empty room on the other side.
——
After a cup of tea.
Wenqing and Wenxiu followed Meng Yunqiao, walked out of the guest house with confused eyes, and continued to serve the young master.
Su Yuan went to his room to rest alone.
She sighed as she walked.
I haven't slept for a day and a night.
I’m sleepy!
