Chapter 73: Loss
Fortunately, Ran Qiunian was not deeply poisoned, ordinary herbs could be detoxified, and with the speed of a dark horse, they quickly arrived at the nearest village and found the doctor in the village.
By the time Ran Qiunian woke up, it was getting late, and she had already been taken back to the General's Mansion by Xiao Yin.
"Nian'er, are you okay? This time it's really dangerous, how could a good person encounter a snake in the mountains? ”
After Ran Qiunian woke up, he didn't see Xiao Yin, but he saw Old Madam Gu guarding him by the bed for the first time.
Old Madam Gu was distressed and guilty, after all, she gave the post to Ran Qiunian, and she also said that she moved Ran Qiunian to participate.
"I'm fine, it was just an accident. Hunting, it's common to get a little injured, doesn't my aunt often say that children from martial arts families are more solid than others? ”
Seeing Old Madam Gu's demeanor, Ran Qiu guessed that Xiao Yin didn't tell her everything, so he hid the snake group and said that today's incident was a trivial matter the size of a sesame mung bean.
She also didn't want Old Madam Gu to blame herself too much.
After Ran Qiunian coaxed Old Madam Gu away, she called Xiu Gu and asked her to help her sit up.
"How's the big brother?"
Ran Qiunian pressed the leg he had bandaged, although it didn't hurt anymore, but the leg was still a little weak. Thinking of the last person he saw before he fell unconscious, Ran Qiunian asked again with some uncertainty.
"I remember, it was the big brother who rescued me......"
"That's right, it was the eldest young master who saved the young lady. The black horse is not very obedient, no one is allowed to approach, just now the eldest young master went to see it, and now I am afraid that he will come back soon. ”
Only then did Ran Qiunian remember that he seemed to have been brought back by Xiao Yin to ride the "Prairie Horse King" before.
No one was allowed to ride that horse, but he accepted Xiao Yin, and even took her to benefit from riding, thinking of this, Ran Qiunian didn't know what it was like, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
But soon she couldn't laugh, thinking of the snakes that appeared inexplicably in the forest, and the potato flour that had been tampered with, who was going to harm her this time?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Yin walked in from outside, and his always meticulous robe looked a little messy, which should have been caused by the black horse.
Ran Qiu watched the person come closer.
"You woke up, how did you feel? Does your leg still hurt? ”
Xiao Yin sat down on the edge of Ran Qiunian's bed and looked at the wound marks on Ran Qiunian's ankle.
After returning home, he asked the best doctor in the general's mansion to re-bandage it. Although he knew that Ran Qiunian was fine, Xiao Yin couldn't help but ask more.
"I'm fine, this time it's really thanks to the timely arrival of the big brother that Nian'er was able to escape. By the way, I didn't have time to ask before, why did the big brother suddenly appear there? ”
Ran Qiunian's eyes were pure curiosity, because in addition to the maple forest and Zhuangzi in General Wuwei's mansion, there was only one Qian Zhuang built in the back, and the well water on both sides did not interfere with the river water.
But no matter where it was, Ran Qiunian couldn't think of a reason why he could be connected with Xiao Yin.
"Doing some personal things has something to do with you. Don't be in a hurry to say these things, what's the matter with your serpents in the woods? ”
Xiao Yin explained two sentences simply, the most important thing now is not why he appeared there, but to find out who is behind the scenes and find out who is plotting against Ran Qiunian behind it.
Seeing Xiao Yin ask like this, Ran Qiunian had to suppress her curiosity first, and told Xiao Yin everything that happened in the maple forest, including the pheasant that led them to the snake group and the potato flour that had been manipulated in her quiver.
"When I first arrived in the capital, who can I make enemies with?"
As soon as Ran Qiunian's words fell, a high-spirited face suddenly popped out of her mind, she paused, hesitated and changed her words to Xiao Yin: "I almost forgot about her, it was An Qiluo from the Hou Mansion of Anyang." ”
If you say that there is a grudge, there is only such a person, in Ran Qiunian's impression, let the poisonous snake take revenge, others may not be able to do it, but on An Qiluo's head, there is no sense of disobedience.
"It can't really be her, right?"
Ran Qiunian was disgusted and angry, if it was really An Qiluo who did it, then she was too rampant.
"What is the truth, you have to wait for the Wuwei General's Mansion to catch the subordinate who did it for you, and you can judge it after asking."
For now, we can only wait for the time being.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ran Qiunian can also recuperate well in the house, and no longer have to be bothered by those snowflake-like invitations.
The people from General Wuwei's mansion moved quickly, and Wu Hongling asked someone to come and hand over a post to Ran Qiunian early the next morning, wanting to go to the mansion in person to make amends.
Ran Qiunian naturally didn't disagree, and when Wu Hongling arrived, Xiao Yin happened to be there with Ran Qiunian. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately recognized that the person in front of her was the stranger who suddenly appeared yesterday.
The words that she wanted to say suddenly stopped, and she looked at Ran Qiunian with some hesitation, not knowing whether to trust the person in front of her.
"This is my brother, we grew up together since childhood, and we have a deep relationship, Miss Wu has anything to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to avoid him."
Ran Qiunian hurriedly expressed his trust in Xiao Yin, and when Wu Hongling heard this, he was completely unwary of Xiao Yin.
"It turned out to be Gongzi Ran, thanks to your help in yesterday's incident, otherwise if Miss Ran had a good relationship with me, not only would I regret it for the rest of my life, but also the friendship between the Gu and Wu families for many years would be ruined."
Seeing that Wu Hongling had misunderstood Xiao Yin's identity, Ran Qiunian was about to explain, but heard her continue: "The thief who dared to do something in your quiver yesterday has been caught, and I specially brought her to the house today and handed her over to Miss Ran for disposal." ”
"Someone has been caught? Who instructed her to confess? ”
Ran Qiunian's mind was attracted by this matter, so he forgot what he wanted to explain before, and continued to ask.
"Her mouth was very tight, and she was sure that the snake-attracting powder was something she hadn't paid attention to when she was preparing the quiver."
Wu Hongling sneered, this kind of lie that can be broken with a poke is not believed even by a three-year-old child.
"I sent someone to search her house, and found that she had had dealings with the little steward of the family of the first and fourth rank officials in Beijing a few days ago, and she had obtained a large sum of gold and silver for nothing."
"Fourth-grade officials?" Ran Qiu Nianxiu frowned slightly, "Why do these people want to harm me?" I must have never made a feud with them. ”
"I also think it's strange, thinking that you had a grudge with An Qiluo's dead girl before, so I specially asked someone to find out what the relationship between these four-grade officials and the Anyang Hou Mansion is, guess what?"
There was a little coldness in Wu Hongling's tone, and Ran Qiunian followed her words and guessed, "But what does it matter?" ”
"On the contrary, there is no contact between the two provinces. However," Wu Hongling's words changed, "the only son of the four-rank official is brainless, but he has always been An Qiluo's follower. You said, if he heard that you won An Qiluo at the tea party, in order to please that girl, would he attack you? ”
This matter is strange everywhere, although they can almost be sure that this matter is inseparable from An Qiluo, but after careful investigation, there is no direct evidence that can point to An Qiluo.
This also shows that even if Ran Qiunian knew that this was An Qiluo's revenge, she had no way to take her for a while, and this loss could only be eaten like this before she became stronger.
This made Ran Qiunian, who had always had revenge, extremely unwilling, but helpless.
Xiao Yin was on the side, and when he saw Ran Qiunian's expression, he secretly wrote down this matter, and remembered the names of the four-grade officials and the Anyang Hou Mansion in his heart.
"This time, I really can't stand Miss Ran, it is because I am not strict in my governance that I have such a thing. I owe Miss Ran a favor, if you have any requests, just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse. ”
Wu Hongling also knew that it was impossible for Ran Qiunian to take this matter openly to seek justice for herself, and seeing that she was still in bed to recuperate, she was even more guilty.
"Since Miss Wu is a friend to me, why should I be so polite? That An Qiluo was originally coming for me, but it was Miss Wu, who was still involved by me, and mentioned who owes whom, and has no point in life. ”
Ran Qiu glanced at Wu Hongling and said angrily. Wu Hongling's temper is very suitable for her temperament, and the two can be regarded as a friendship of common hardship, although they have not yet called each other by name, but they regard each other as friends in their hearts.
"In that case, I won't mention that."
Wu Hongling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Ran Qiunian didn't blame herself for this incident.
"Young Master Ran, let you laugh."
After Wu Hongling and Ran Qiunian finished pushing and conceding, they remembered that they were not the only ones in this room, and smiled embarrassedly at Xiao Yin on the side.
"Miss Wu, you misunderstood, my eldest brother's surname is Xiao, not Ran."
Ran Qiunian listened, remembering that he hadn't corrected Wu Hongling yet, so he quickly explained.
Although Wu Hongling was a little strange why Ran Qiunian's brother had a different surname from her, she didn't ask much, she remembered that Xiao Yin surrendered the dark horse yesterday, and couldn't help but mention it.
"The black horse on my farm, no one has ever been able to make it bow its head, yesterday really shocked me, Xiao Gongzi's riding skills are really breathtaking."
"My big brother is naturally not an ordinary person."
When Ran Qiu Nian heard this, he also remembered the fierceness of the black horse, and immediately gave Xiao Yin a word of praise.
Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiunian funny, shook his head, and also remembered the restless black horse in the backyard stable, and said:
"Yesterday I was in a hurry and rode the horse away from the village. Since Miss Wu is here today, it can also be returned to the original owner. ”
Originally, Xiao Yin planned to let people send the horse back last night, but the horse was very disobedient, no one was allowed to approach, and almost kicked the stables in the house, Xiao Yin had to put it in the stable himself, and then find a way to free up.
Wu Hongling listened, but coughed lightly, and said euphemistically: "That horse was brought back from the grassland, and it has a rebellious temperament, and no one is convinced, so it is just an ornament in my place." ”
"Since it is willing to recognize you as the master, it will simply give the horse to Xiao Gongzi. It's better than the pearl being dusty, leaving the thousands of miles of good horses idle on my little village. ”
