Chapter 184 Wan Ziyan Loses His Composure
The room was completely silent; no one dared to utter a sound, much less raise their head.
After a long while, Fang Luxue finally looked up and met Wan Qiqi's eyes. She immediately glared at her with wide eyes, "See? I told you! She's a vixen, she's even dressed up as a bandit!"
Wan Qiqi frowned slightly. Was she really going to have to squat here in wet clothes?
She scanned the crowd, turned her head to look at Wu Gousheng, who was still unconscious, and noticed the man sitting next to him with some surprise.
Su Jie looked at Wan Qiqi and was also stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat shocked.
Wan Qiqi is really wearing bandit clothes. Could it be that she really had that kind of relationship with a bandit?
Then he felt that this was Wan Qiqi's own business, and what she did had nothing to do with others or himself.
Besides, does changing clothes prove what happened?
After regaining his composure, he smiled faintly at Wan Qiqi, got up, and walked back to where he had been.
But someone was already squatting there, and that person showed no intention of moving aside.
Although Wan Qiqi didn't know what had happened here after she left, it was clear that this person named "Su Jie" had been isolated!
"You can sit here! It's too crowded over there."
Wan Qiqi sat down next to Wu Gousheng, pinched Wu Gousheng's nose, and threw the fever reducer into his mouth.
Perhaps because the bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, Wu Gousheng, who had been unconscious, moved slightly, but still showed no sign of waking up.
Su Jie looked around and finally found a new corner to sit down, not wanting to get involved in any of the arguments.
Fang Luxue sneered twice and said, "Look, she's not even refuting me, which means I'm right. She's selling her body to lure the bandits!"
Wan Qiqi looked up at her as she listened to her nonsense. "Instead of rambling on, you should think about how to escape. They'll trade you for grain. With grain, the government won't be able to do anything to Lianshan. Yunhe County will continue to suffer from the bandits."
"Isn't this a good thing for you? The bandits of Lianshan are still around, so you can live a life of luxury here and be their wife!"
Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes, thinking that Fang Luxue was also a brainless person. "I have a husband and children, why should I stay here?"
"You've slept with someone else, how dare you go back to see your husband?"
"When did I sleep with anyone? Miss Fang, please don't talk nonsense and smear my innocence."
"Don't you know whether you slept with him or not?"
"I know what I'm talking about, that's why I said you're talking nonsense!"
"..."
Fang Luxue suddenly felt that she couldn't reason with this woman. She didn't follow any rules at all, and no matter what she said, the other woman remained indifferent, as if she didn't care at all.
No wonder my cousin fell into this woman's trap.
He's definitely not someone to mess with!
Wan Qiqi had no time to pay attention to Fang Lucue; she was still thinking about Geng Laosan, who had suddenly appeared, and felt that he had overestimated Fang Lucue.
She felt that Geng Laosan was even more frightening than the tiger descending the mountain, but he also seemed different from the other bandits in Lianshan, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
After all that fuss, Wan Qiqi was exhausted. She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
I can't help but criticize myself. Why did I refuse Bai Lingxuan's request for guards?
At this moment, a guest arrived at the Wan family's residence in Hefeng Town, causing the usually composed Wan Ziyan to lose his composure.
"You...you said Qiqi was captured by the tiger coming down the mountain?" Wan Ziyan repeated the words of the Bai family guard, his expression somber, his hands trembling on the armrest of the chair.
The Bai family guard nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Wan and the young master beside her have been kidnapped by bandits and taken up the mountain!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cup smashed on the ground.
"Your young lady told you to protect them, so why were they arrested? What were you doing when they were arrested?!"
Wan Ziyan rarely lost control of his emotions, which not only frightened the guards but also terrified the servants.
From the moment they entered the Wan family home, the young master was always kind and gentle, and always very polite. Even when he was angry, he would only show a cold face and never smash anything.
This is the first time it has happened like this.
Chen Yongliang had just returned to the side courtyard when he heard the commotion and thought something had happened. He rushed to the main hall and saw Wan Ziyan with bloodshot eyes and clenched fists.
Although Wan Ziyan was angry, his upbringing instilled in him the proper etiquette that prevented him from losing control. He quickly calmed down and waved to the Bai family guards, "Go back! Tell your young lady that everything is fine and that she doesn't need to worry."
He turned around and sat back down, looking somewhat forlorn.
Chen Yongliang didn't understand what was going on, nor did he recognize the guard. He could only wait until the guard left before stepping forward and tentatively calling out, "Second Brother Wan..."
Upon hearing Chen Yongliang's shout, Wan Ziyan's emotions, which had just subsided, surged back up.
He raised his eyes, which were red and brimming with tears, as if he had suffered a great blow. His lips moved a few times before he could utter a sound, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect your sister-in-law!"
Sister-in-law?
Chen Yongliang's expression changed upon hearing this. "Second Brother Wan, what happened to Sister-in-law?"
Wan Ziyan looked up at him, then lowered his head and said, "Qiqi... Qiqi has been captured by bandits and taken up the mountain!"
These words struck Chen Yongliang like a thunderbolt, nearly causing him to fall to the ground.
Everyone knows how wicked the bandits of Lianshan are.
Whether someone captured and taken to Lianshan will come out alive is anyone's guess!
Before their elder brother left, the two brothers promised to take good care of their sister-in-law and ensure she was not in any danger.
But now that his sister-in-law has been arrested, and no one knows whether she is alive or dead, how is he supposed to explain this to his older brother?
If my elder brother and the government forces were to storm Lianshan and find my sister-in-law gone, what would happen... what would happen...?
