“How—how dare he—”
Du Yuanyi was supported by Duan He, his follower who quickly came over from the side. It took him a long time to suppress the anger in his heart.
“I didn’t want to give the letter to you at first! Are you alright? Do you want me to get someone to invite Madam Liu over?” Pei Qian sounded worried, but he had already covered his face and retreated a few steps, as if he was afraid of being splashed by blood.
“When did you find out about this?!”
Du Yuanyi looked up. Although he was still looking at Pei Qian with an unfriendly gaze, it was at least much better than his previous hostile attitude.
His brother’s men colluded with the northern barbarians to sell these refugees in the refugee camp as slaves…
His brother’s private seal was actually stamped on it!
Whether this letter was forged or not was actually unimportant because of this private seal! What was important was that his brother had already been implicated. If something really happened, the entire Du family…
None of them would be able to escape!
“I’ve been investigating this since before you came!” Pei Qian didn’t hide anything and calmly told Du Yuanyi, “Don’t blame me for not telling you before!
Firstly, there was insufficient evidence. Secondly, if I had said it at that time, not only would I have alerted the enemy, but you might not have believed me either!
If your brother hadn’t almost been killed this time, I wouldn’t have interfered!”
“This time, the Du family owes you a favor.” Du Yuanyi was silent for a long time before he raised his hand and folded the letter. Then, he stood up and bowed to Pei Qian politely.
“After my brother’s injuries stabilize in the next two days, I’ll set off for the capital with him.
“I’ll have to trouble you to continue handling the matters in the refugee camp!”
“You’re welcome. However, speaking of which, have you thought about how to deal with the higher-ups when you go back?!” Pei Qian narrowed his eyes. Half of his face was blocked by the handkerchief, so no one could see his expression. However, from his breezy tone, one could tell that he was in a good mood.
“I’ve already found out who those two followers are! I’ll get Qian He to tell you their names later. I won’t interfere anymore!”
It’ll be considered the Du family’s matter!
At this point, things haven’t even been settled yet, but your family is already thinking of monopolizing power. If that person in your family really takes things further, will the Du family still have a foothold in upper society?!”
Pei Qian’s words were scathing.
Du Yuanyi glanced at him and didn’t respond, but he had already thought it through.
The Empress Dowager had mentioned that he should escort the refugees to the north this time! The reason was that Yuanruo had never suffered before and was always fooling around in the capital. She wanted to let him go out and see the world!
Originally, his family was caught off guard by this sudden arrangement!
He thought that since this mission was only escorting refugees to the north, no matter how useless Yuanruo was, he wouldn’t mess things up to the point of no return!
After all, there were other officials accompanying him. He was just following them…
From the looks of it, this wasn’t just a trip. Someone had clearly set up a trap and was waiting for his family to fall for it!
Seeing Du Yuanyi’s expression, Pei Qian didn’t say anything else. He covered his mouth and yawned before departing, leaving Qian He to continue explaining the matter to Du Yuanyi.
Since Du Yuan was injured, and the snow hadn’t stopped, Pei Qian decided to let them stop and rest for the time being. They would continue on their way when the snow stopped.
Lin Suisui fell asleep in Lu Ze’s arms halfway back. When she opened her eyes again, she was already lying under a warm blanket.
She slept well and recovered her strength. Probably because he heard the commotion in the ox cart, Lu Ze quickly lifted the curtain and stuck his head in to check. When he saw that she was awake, the expression on his face instantly warmed up. “Are you hungry?!”
“How long have I been asleep for?!” Lin Suisui sat up and looked at Lu Ze in confusion. Seeing his expression when he lifted the curtain and poked his head in, she felt that she had probably slept for a long time.
“One day and one night.” Lu Ze had already ducked out as he spoke. He whispered to her through the curtain, “I’ll bring you a bowl of soup. Get dressed first.”
When Lin Suisui was sitting by the bonfire while drinking soup, Mrs. Luo and the others, who had received the news, also came over. Seeing that she was fine and looked quite energetic, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“You slept so soundly, but you almost scared your husband to death!” Fang Liushi leaned over and whispered into Lin Suisui’s ear, “He looked so intimidating! Afraid that he would lose his temper, we didn’t dare to speak loudly for the past two days!
Look at how friendly he became after you woke up just now!”
Lin Suisui glared at her and said in a low voice. “Doesn’t your husband care about you too?! He even came over to ask me if there was a way to treat you!
“He even said that if there was, no matter how expensive the medicine was, he would find a way to gather money!”
Fang Liu raised her hand and patted Lin Suisui gently as she pursed her lips with a smile. “Alright, alright. Hurry up and drink the soup!”
In the afternoon, Du Yuanruo sent someone to look for Lin Suisui. After receiving the news, she went with Lu Ze to the tent where Du Yuanruo was recuperating.
Seeing Lin Suisui, Du Yuanruo, who had already woken up and was lying on the pillow while being fed soup by the servant, acted as if he had seen his mother. Tears flowed down his face. “Madam Liu, can I keep my arm?! Sob, I don’t believe a word of those two quacks. Madam Liu, tell me the truth. I-I can take it!”
“It’s not just your arm. If your wound continues to worsen, half of your body, your heart, lungs, and spleen will be gone!” Lin Suisui said clearly.
As expected, Du Yuanruo cried even harder!
The manservant at the side couldn’t stand it anymore. He knelt down and coaxed in a low voice, “Master, don’t be sad. Madam Liu is just teasing you! She has already helped you reattach your arm. As long as you listen to her and recuperate well, you will definitely recover!”
