Chapter 42: Turning Evil into Good Fortune
"He is the young master of the Ran family, you can exchange him for a large ransom, these are your own things, and I have only one request, I can't let Ran Qiubai return to the Ran family alive. These are deposits, and after the deed is done, there is the remaining half. As for the ransom, how much you can get depends on your own ability. ”
Ran Yinyin, this woman, is really ruthless and vicious, doing things that harm her fellow clansmen, and in the face of mountain bandits who kill people without blinking, it is really terrible to be able to analyze the pros and cons in such an orderly manner.
If it weren't for Miss Feng's reminder, I'm afraid she would have really succeeded this time, and she would even be able to get out of the way.
But even if they were now aware of Ran Yinyin's vicious plan, what could they do to stop these vicious bandits? Ran Qiunian couldn't help but be so anxious that he was sweating.
"Miss Ran, don't worry, we are all good at this murderous business. If there is such a business in the future, just come to me Boss Wang, and do business with a cheerful person like you, it is comfortable. ”
Wang Lao laughed twice, and reached out to pat Ran Yinyin's shoulder, but was avoided by Ran Yinyin, and he was not angry, but only looked at the outstanding daughter in front of him with a pair of eyes.
Of course, he can't afford such a woman, but when he thinks of this woman's ruthlessness, he also feels that he can't stand it.
"He can trust you, and I can trust you."
Although Ran Yinyin disliked Boss Wang's vulgarity and presumptuousness, she didn't show it at all, and only calmly instructed a few words, and then asked people to quickly take away the unconscious Ran Qiubai.
Can't let them take Brother Qiubai away! Ran Qiunian shouted in a hurry, but she didn't dare to expose the slightest sound, she gestured to Qingxi, signaling Qingxi to hurry up and go to the front yard to transfer some manpower first, but Qingxi was a little difficult.
Seeing that Ran Qiubai's life was not in danger for the time being, the two could only quietly retreat a few steps first, hide in a hidden place behind the door, and discuss countermeasures.
"Miss, this is the Sanfang Mansion, how can the slave and maid transfer the staff of the nursing home? Otherwise, let's go directly to the matter of the third master. ”
Leaving the corner door, Qingxi finally dared to whisper the words that he held in his heart with a white face, but was rejected by Ran Qiunian.
"It's not proper, it's too late, by the time you show the third uncle, the mountain bandits have already taken my Qiubai brother away, without evidence, it is impossible for the third uncle to convict his own daughter against us."
Ran Qiu Nian clenched his fists tightly, and said hatefully: "Qingxi, you still go to the front yard to transfer people, just say, just say that I had an accident, and call someone to come to Jiaomen to save me, make a big noise, how much can you bring some people here." Be quick. ”
"Miss, what are you going to do? How can the slave leave you here alone, why don't you go and call someone, Miss, and let the slave and maid stay around. ”
Qingxi was worried about Ran Qiunian's comfort and was reluctant to leave alone.
Ran Qiunian raised his hand and gently knocked on Qingxi's head, lowered his voice and said quickly: "Don't be stupid, just do as I say, there's no time, if you're really worried about me, go and go back quickly, do you hear?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ran Qiunian pushed Qingxi back, with a non-negotiable look. Qingxi gritted his teeth, looked at the door in the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Ran Qiunian in front of him, and turned around and ran towards the front yard.
After the branch opened the Qingxi, Ran Qiunian calmed down and thought of a way to maneuver, while always paying attention to the movement outside the corner gate, Ran Yinyin said a few words to the mountain bandit leader Wang Boss, worried that if the time dragged on for too long, it would cause extraneous branches, so he urged Wang Boss to take Ran Qiubai away quickly.
Ran Qiunian hid in the shadows and was anxious, but she was only alone, and she must not be the opponent of those people, and Qingxi couldn't count on it for the time being.
Seeing that the carriage was about to move, he didn't think about it a lot, and was about to rush out to divert the attention of those people, when a hand suddenly appeared on his back and stopped Ran Qiunian's movements.
Ran Qiunian was taken aback, and was about to struggle, when she heard Xiao Yin's low voice in her ears.
"Don't be afraid, it's me."
"Big brother?"
Ran Qiu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but cry out in a whisper that couldn't hide his excitement. But she immediately suppressed her excitement, and it was not the time to gossip at this time, so she reached out and grabbed Xiao Yin's sleeve and said urgently.
"Ran Yinyin betrayed Brother Qiubai to the mountain bandits, and they can't let Brother Qiubai take them away."
"Don't worry, there are many mountain bandits, and they all have knives on their bodies, so it's inconvenient to fight hard. When they kidnap Qiubai, they will definitely ask for a ransom, and before that, they will not kill Qiubai. I'll go to the stronghold first, and then I'll figure it out slowly. ”
Xiao Yin looked at the number of people on the other side, he came in a hurry and didn't have any weapons on his body, and because Ran Qiunian was here, he was afraid that the sword would hurt her without eyes, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Ran Qiunian nodded hurriedly, after seeing Xiao Yin, the anxiety and worry in her heart eased a lot, and she instinctively believed that Xiao Yin could save Ran Qiubai safely.
Seeing Ran Yinyin enter the corner gate, close the door, look around, straighten the hem of her clothes, and go back to the banquet hall as if nothing happened, and the carriage outside the door has also moved slowly.
"Big brother, let's catch up."
Ran Qiunian raised his legs and ran towards the corner gate, but was caught by Xiao Yin frowning, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yin who was blocking him in confusion: "Big brother, if you don't catch up, it's too late!" ”
"I'll chase people, you go back to the banquet hall." Seeing that Ran Qiunian's expression changed and was about to refute, Xiao Yin dropped a sentence in a deep voice, "You don't know martial arts, how can you catch up with the carriage?" Go back to the banquet hall, don't go to a place with few people, and go home as soon as the birthday banquet is over. ”
After speaking, Xiao Yin went out of the corner gate, picked up the light gong and chased the departing carriage all the way to the stronghold in the city where the mountain bandits were holding Ran Qiubai.
This time, without Ran Qiunian by his side to distract him, Xiao Yin directly single-handedly entered the stronghold and rescued Ran Qiubai who was in a coma after confirming that there were only a few mountain bandits in the stronghold.
On the other side, Ran Qiunian looked at the back of Xiao Yin's departure, suppressed the worry in his heart, turned around and walked towards the banquet hall, and when he was halfway through, he watched the noise in front of him gradually, and then he remembered what he had forgotten about just now.
"Oh no, I forgot to tell Qingxi that I don't have to go to the front yard to call someone to help!"
Ran Qiunian's heart sank, Ran Yinyin has always been smart, and now I am afraid that she will startle the snake and let her know that she has seen the ugly thing that she secretly colluded with mountain bandits to murder Ran Qiubai.
"Miss, miss, are you alright?"
Seeing Ran Qiunian walking here from a distance, Qingxi took the lead, left the nursing home that came with him behind, ran quickly to Ran Qiunian's side, and asked her again and again.
"I'm fine, don't worry, the matter should have been settled, let's go back and talk about it in detail."
Ran Qiunian quickly whispered a few words in Qingxi's ear, and then his eyes changed, and he suddenly limped up, and fell weakly on Qingxi's body.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Qingxi was taken aback by the speed at which Ran Qiunian changed his face, and he couldn't react, so he hurriedly helped Ran Qiunian, who seemed to be crumbling.
"Let's deal with the past first."
Ran Qiunian hung his head weakly, leaned on Qingxi's shoulder, and explained in a low voice, Qingxi suddenly understood, quickly cleaned up the stunned on his face, and shouted with anxious and ashamed eyes.
"The slave is useless, I can't protect the young lady, so that you can get lost in the rockery in the backyard alone, fortunately, the young lady is blessed with a great life, nothing happened this time, otherwise the slave and the maid are really to blame."
As soon as the words fell, the nursing home that was left behind by Qingxi also followed in front of him, looking at Ran Qiunian, who was weakly held in his hand by Qingxi, looking at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Since my young lady has been saved, you should go back to your life first, thank you for your help today, otherwise I really don't know what my young lady should do."
Although the nurses didn't help at all, Qingxi still sent everyone away with a basket of good words. After the nursing home was gone, Qingxi helped Ran Qiunian back to the banquet hall of the female dependents.
"Nian'er, what's wrong? I heard that your maid hurriedly came over to call someone, and I thought something happened to you, it really scared us to death, come over and let my aunt see. ”
The third aunt suppressed the different colors under her eyes, and saw that Ran Qiunian was helped by Qingxi and walked in, her face looked extremely ugly, for fear that Ran Qiunian, who was spoiled by the old lady like an eyeball, would really have something happen to her birthday banquet, so she hurriedly made a gesture and pulled people to comfort her.
"It's Nian'er who is playful, on the way to find her cousin, she accidentally walked into the rockery in the backyard, got lost for a while, and got separated from Qingxi, this girl doesn't know the severity, I'm afraid that something will happen to me, and I went to the front yard to alarm so many people, it's really Nian'er."
Ran Qiunian was originally worried about Ran Qiubai's safety, and his face was very bad, and at this time, he deliberately pretended to be frightened, which looked a little bluffing.
When the third aunt saw it, she was also a little suspicious, so she didn't pursue it further: "It's okay if people are fine, you kid, you are too sensible, when it comes to Nian'er's safety, how can you divide it into big and small things." It's good that it doesn't hurt. ”
"Today is the third aunt's birthday banquet, I should be happy, but let Nian'er be disappointed, next time Nian'er will definitely prepare a generous gift to make amends to the third aunt."
Ran Qiunian pretended to be with the third aunt and the snake, and at the same time found Ran Yinyin in the crowd who left first.
Ran Yinyin's face changed slightly, obviously she had doubts about Ran Qiunian's words, but when she looked at Ran Qiunian's gaze, she bent her eyebrows and smiled at Ran Qiunian soothingly, with a little distress in her eyes.
Ran Qiunian's eyelids jumped, her heart felt a little cold, she retracted her gaze, and looked at the third aunt's weak mouth: "Nian'er is unwell, and I am afraid that I will sweep the joy of the birthday banquet, so I have to retire first, and I hope that the third aunt will forgive me." ”
"Yes, yes, if you don't feel well, go back and rest early, why don't you rest in the house for the time being, and when you feel better, go back to the house?"
The third aunt patted the back of Ran Qiunian's hand distressedly, Ran Qiunian didn't dare to be in the same room with Ran Yinyin anymore, and quickly declined the third aunt's "warm invitation".
"Even so, my aunt won't hold you back, and I will call your brother in the front yard and ask him to send you home, so my aunt can rest assured."
When Ran Qiunian heard this, her heart moved, didn't the third aunt know what Ran Yinyin did to Ran Qiubai?
