Chapter 443: Set off to find medicine in the Border Valley
"Yes, I agree." Yao Qingnian said affirmatively.
"Okay, okay, then we'll arrange it right away. Zheng Cheng, come with me to find Captain Lu." Old Duke Chen stood up happily, and he couldn't wait to find Lu Huaijin to discuss the matter.
"Old man, why are you in such a hurry?" Old Madam Chen wanted to say that the news she had inquired about had not been delivered yet! Besides, the person had just left, so there was no reason to catch up with him in such a short time.
"How can I not be anxious? This is my granddaughter's lifelong event. That boy seems to be a good one. I will feel at ease only when he is settled. Don't let other girls get there first." The old Duke smiled heartily.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I have to go on a long journey these days to find medicine for my brother. We can talk about this after I come back." Yao Qingnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even if it was a blind date, she would have to wait. They met in the morning and were in a hurry to settle the matter in the afternoon. Was he afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married?
"Looking for medicine?" Everyone looked confused.
"Yes, it will take about a month to go back and forth." Yao Qingnian told them that he was going to look for medicine, but he did not say that he was going to the border canyon to avoid worrying them.
"Girl, do you want your uncle to accompany you? You are a girl."
"No need, Uncle Zheng Cheng, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I get it. Doctor Han said that with this medicine, my brother's illness can be cured." Yao Qingnian said calmly.
"Then you should be careful and be safe. Do you have enough money on you? If not, just ask your mother for more."
"It's enough. My mother gave me a lot of pocket money, which I can't spend all." After Yao Qingnian came, Chen Shuhua gave her pocket money regularly. She refused, but Chen Shuhua refused to take it back and asked her to keep it well. She did not refuse and put the money in the space. She also earned a lot of money in Anding County, which was enough for her to spend.
"Okay, then we'll talk about it when you come back." It just so happened that the marriage wouldn't take more than a month, so they sent someone to Anding County to inquire about it. When they come back, they will have found out the news, which will be just about right.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety."
Old Duke Chen and his men had people prepare a lot of good things for Yao Qingnian to take with them, and told her to be careful and take good care of herself.
The family affection that Yao Qingnian did not have in her previous life was fully made up in this life. She had mothers like Lin Qiaofeng, who lived a hard life but always sided with her, and considerate parents-in-law like Liu Shuyue and Lu Mingchuan, as well as such a large and warm family in the Duke's Mansion. She felt very satisfied.
After returning to the Shen Mansion, he asked Shan Wei to inform Wang Wu to prepare for departure, and also asked her to tell Linglong that he was not in the capital. Linglong originally wanted to go with him, but when she thought that she knew nothing and would only cause trouble, she gave up the idea and asked them to be careful on the way and come back early.
After she entered the space to check if there was anything missing from the stored supplies, she went to the old lady's yard to see how she was doing.
When they arrived at the old lady's yard, Yan Huan was also there. This was the first time they met. Shen Wenting was not there, and no one in the mansion interfered with Yao Qingnian, so she was used to coming and going freely.
Yan Huan just pretended not to see her and let her do whatever she wanted. She had heard before she came that this young lady was not easy to mess with, and it didn't affect her anyway, so when she first entered the mansion, she had someone send something over to show her friendship.
Later I heard that she had a bad relationship with Shen Wenting and his daughter, especially Aunt Ru, who went alone to beat her son up when she first came home. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so she neither wanted to offend nor please him.
Seeing her come in, Yan Huan looked her up and down and said politely, "This must be Miss Nian Ran, right? I have been in the mansion for some time, but I have never seen you. I heard that you are smart and clever. After meeting you today, it is indeed as everyone says."
"Mrs. Shen, you're too kind." Yao Qingnian should call her mother, but her mother was still well in the Duke's Mansion, so there was nothing wrong with her calling her that.
Seeing that Yan Huan had no ill will towards her, Yao Qingnian responded with a smile and told them that she would be away from home for a while. Yan Huan did not ask any further questions, but just nodded and said she understood.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, he heard that she was here to see the old lady, so he asked her to stay with the old lady for a while, and then he got up, said goodbye and left.
The old lady's eyes were dull and she looked much thinner. When she saw her come in, she babbled and wanted to say something.
The old lady had suffered a lot these days. Runiang often abused her when no one was around, forced her to drink medicine, beat her and scolded her, venting all her grievances and dissatisfaction with Shen Wenting over the years on her. However, with the nanny around, she did not dare to act too excessively.
The old lady could never have dreamed that this daughter-in-law whom she had high hopes for would have so many complaints against her. Although she was paralyzed, she was still very conscious. And Yan Huan, although he usually treated her very well and sent her many good things, recently she had not concealed her disgust at all. Only then did she see the true colors of these people.
She remembered that when she was sick before, it was Chen Shuhua who took care of her without taking off her clothes. She did everything herself and never asked servants to do it for her. She regretted it so much now that she had such a good daughter-in-law but was so blind as to drive her away.
But now she can't take care of herself, she can't even speak, and can only endure the contempt. Except for the nanny beside her, no one treats her sincerely. Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. Son, when will you come back?
Yao Qingnian probably knew what she wanted to say, but she pretended not to know. She wiped her tears, gave her a tonic before leaving, and told the old lady to take good care of herself.
Yao Qingnian knew everything that had happened in the past few days. When she found something wrong, she asked Shan Wei to keep an eye on Runiang. Sure enough, she found the problem. Runiang's mistress came into the mansion openly, and she went to the old lady's yard every day. She took care of the old lady on the surface, but attacked the old lady behind her back. She secretly poured out her medicine, beat and scolded the old lady, and made her watch for the rest of her life how she let her son inherit the Shen Mansion.
Yao Qingnian also wanted her to see carefully, and when she came back, she would heal the old lady. What would happen after she saw the state of the Shen Mansion? She vaguely revealed the fact that the old lady was injured to the nanny, asking her to pay more attention to the old lady. It was not that she was soft-hearted, but she did not want Ru Niang to kill someone, otherwise there would be no good show. Sometimes, living is more painful than death.
After coming out of the old lady's yard, Yao Qingnian had a good sleep. The next morning, he met up with Wang Wu and set off for the Border Gorge...
