Chapter 259: Should They Get Married?
the princes of both countries first. You should know that my elder sister is a daughter blessed by good fortune. The Emperor wouldn't and couldn't allow her to participate in a marriage alliance. Ther..."No need, keep them for now. Find out who they are"
"The people from the Salt Gang."
"Sure enough, it's them!" Qian Tingxuan narrowed his cold eyes, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, then stopped: "How long will our people arrive" Of course, he meant the emperor's men. At this time, officials in Yan State were untrustworthy.
"About three days."
"Let's talk in three days. No need to raise the alarm for now." Qian Tingxuan gestured for him to quietly leave.
Yes!
After Mingyang left, Xiao Yuge only then dared to speak up, her face flushed: "Why did you bring me back I thought there was something over there..."
"I went to take a look, there were only two things that were lit up, nothing seemed unusual." Let's not say anything for now, lest she become curious.
"Just light things" Xiao Yu Ge was still a bit skeptical: "Your people won't arrive until three days later, but according to Liu Lian and the others, it seems they are going to move those things these few days. Those things must be Bai Shi Salt. If they once transport them out, wanting to find them again will be troublesome."
Although the location of those hundred stones of salt is still unknown, it can at least be confirmed that they are somewhere in this area. However, if they were to be transported out, it would be difficult to find them again.
“Rest assured, Baishi salt isn’t a hundred different things. If you want to transport it out, it will inevitably raise suspicion. We need a suitable opportunity. So for now, they can't be transported. I'm actually worried about those missing girls.” Qian Tingxuan frowned deeply.
As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Yuge also angrily cursed: "That Liu Lian is really not a good person. Miss Lan'er is his cousin after all, and he actually wants to harm his own cousin. He even actively helped to find people on weekdays, making me think he was a good person all along. I never thought the worst one would be him, it's despicable! If we don't catch him and torture him severely, we definitely won't be able to find out the whereabouts of those girls."
"That Liu Lian is just a pawn being used. Even if we capture him, he won't reveal anything useful. I reckon once that hundred stones of salt leave here, his fate will be worse than Deng Jiu's, perhaps even far worse!"
"This Liu Lian is just two bugs in spring!"
Qian Tingxuan was stunned: "What kind of two worms in spring"
Xiao Yu ge gave him a withering look: “Stupid!”
Qian Tingxuan paused for a moment, then immediately understood, shaking his head and smiling: "You..."
"That's just how it is." After that, whenever he saw him, he was afraid he couldn't control himself and would just beat him up.
"Alright, let's think about these things tomorrow. It's still early, go to sleep." Qiantingxuan urged her.
"How can I still sleep" Xiao Yuge sat at the table with a bitter expression, thinking to herself, "I wonder if Sister Feng and the others have found anything useful. The longer it takes, the more dangerous those missing girls become."
"A man and a woman alone in a room late at night, if they can't sleep, shouldn't they do something Hmm" Qian Tingxuan sat beside her with a half-smile, his big hand also intentionally or unintentionally resting on her shoulder.
Xiao Yu's song suddenly felt like she was being burned, she slapped his hand away and quickly burrowed under the covers: "I'm going to sleep! I'll be asleep right away!" That rascal, trying to take advantage of her again. If she could beat him, she really would chop off his paws.
qian TingXuan suppressed all his emotions, a slight curve to his lips. He wasn't in a hurry. There was plenty of time, after all. They would have many days and nights, years upon years, together. It was sure to happen!
The next morning, as Xiao Yuge had just gotten up, she saw Elder Liu of the Willow Village rush in. Behind him were Qian Tingxuan and Elder Li from Nan Village who had returned after a trip.
"Village Chief Liu, what's going on" Xiao Yu saw their demeanor and thought something major must have happened.
"Doctor Ke'er, my elderly mother is nearing the end..." Village Head Liu's words were cut short as tears streamed down his face.
"Let me go take a look," Xiao Yuge said, grabbing her medical kit and heading towards the village head's house.
When Xiao Yuge arrived at Elder Liu's house, she found that the old woman was indeed a little delirious. She kept clutching Xiao Yuge's hand and calling out for Lan’er, constantly muttering that she would only rest in peace after seeing Lan’er get married.
Liuzhuang was filial to his elderly mother. He couldn't bear the thought of his mother dying without peace, so he asked Xiao Yuge to temporarily act as Lan’er and put on a wedding dress in front of his mother.
"Elder Doctor Ke'er, my father passed away when I was three years old. My frail mother raised me single-handedly through immense hardship. Now that she is at the end of her life, there is still one wish unfulfilled. I beg you, young lady, to grant this old man a favor and fulfill my mother's final wish." The village chief, Liu, over sixty years old, wept uncontrollably as he knelt before Xiao Yu Ge.
"Village Chief Liu!" Xiao Yuge hurriedly grabbed his arm. "If you have something to say, please do. If I can do it, I will definitely agree."
"Now that my old mother has mistaken the young lady for Lan'er, I would like to ask the young lady to put on a wedding dress for my granddaughter Lan'er..."
"So, you're saying you want me to marry someone pretending to be Lan'er" Xiao Yuge finally understood.
"My dear girl, my husband and Village Chief Li have discussed this matter with me. You and your betrothed are already considered husband and wife. Though our village is remote and poor, we can't offer a grand wedding, but both our villages are willing to do everything we can to give you a lively celebration. Consider it an old woman's selfish wish to fulfill her mother's last desire..."
Xiao Yu Ge subconsciously looked at Qian Ting Xuan: "You agreed" No, what did that smirk on the man's lips mean He really wanted to marry her
Qian Tingxuan walked up to her and naturally took her hand: "Cousin, since we're going to get married sooner or later, it doesn't matter where. We might as well fulfill Grandma's last wish. When I get back, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you."
"You want to be beautiful!" Xiao Yuge pinched him secretly, and just wanted to push him away.
Before she could even speak, the old grandmother trembled and walked out. She called out to her "Lan'er" one by one. Xiao Yu Ge hurried forward to support her and sweetly called out, "Great Grandmother!"
"Little Lan'er, Grandma made your wedding dress so beautifully, Grandma wants to see you wear it..." Perhaps she also knew that her time was running out.
Xiao Yuge turned her head to look at Elder Liu, meeting his hopeful gaze. Then she looked at the old grandma's current appearance. Unable to bear it, she nodded helplessly: "Hmm, Grandma, Lan'er will put it on for you later."
“Grandma, I want to see Little Lan wearing it on her wedding day. Then, Grandma can go over there and tell your father and mother that you’re very happy here, and they’ll rest assured…” As the old grandmother spoke, a smile filled her face etched with the marks of time, making even her gray eyes appear particularly bright.
Xiao Yu Ge thought to herself: Perhaps this is what Grandma worries about the most!
She also secretly made up her mind that she must find Lan'er back! Looking at Liu Lian busily running around, she really wanted to step forward and expose him, but thinking of Qian Tingxuan's words, she stubbornly held back.to solve this, but the messenger who just came, his attitude seemed very firm. He also thought that if this Wu Yue Gongzi was being unreasonable and insisted on blaming Fu'er, then it would be a big p...
