After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 300: Not helping someone in need is not the Xie Family's code of conduct

"Okay! Jiarui must study hard with the teacher!"

Xie Yuchuan: "..."

"gentlemen?"

On the side, Ruan couldn't help but explain to him with a smile: "Ever since he heard Mr. Zhang's story, he has been thinking about bothering people every day. I was afraid that he would do something crazy, so I kept him under arrest to prevent him from disturbing Sixth Brother and Mr. Zhang's important event."

It turned out to be the case.

Mother Zhang liked little brother Rui in Xie Yuchuan's arms very much: "Brother Rui is smart and polite. My Da Yi likes this kind of child the most. How can I dislike him? He has so much knowledge in his head. I'm not afraid that no one will learn it, but I'm afraid that no one will listen to it. Let's give our brother Rui a chance to breathe."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Ruan was well-educated and well-mannered, so how could she not know that these were words of modesty spoken by Mrs. Zhang on behalf of her son.

"This little monkey, I don't know where he got such great luck, he can actually listen to the lectures of a great scholar like Mr. Zhang. I would like to thank the old lady and Mr. Zhang for taking care of him."

"Where there is, it should be."

In fact, there are not so many things that should be done. It is just a matter of returning favors and taking care of each other.

The adults entertained the children, and the family's tense mood that had been building up for the entire morning gradually relaxed.

Old Madam Xie has never forgotten the question her grandson just asked her.

She looked at Xie Yuchuan holding Rui Ge's wrist and teaching him how to punch with love, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think Xiong Jiushan can come to see you?"

"Nearly 100% sure." Xie Yuchuan looked up at Old Madam Xie. "Wulibao is outside the city. It takes a lot of time and effort for the doctor to go back and forth. Moreover, he needs the help of the Tian family. Wouldn't that make him passive in the future? If there are too many sick people, it will be difficult for him to take care of them."

Madam Xie nodded slightly when she heard this, "That's true."

"Besides, he has stayed here for too long. If he delays any further, he will have a hard time explaining himself." Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and smiled cunningly.

This familiar scene instantly brought Old Madam Xie back to the days when she lived in the Duke's Mansion.

In the early years, before Xie Yuchuan followed his father, brother and others to fight in the war, he was like this in the capital. When he went out with Han Qiguang, Xu Su and others, he got into trouble for some unknown reason. When he returned home, he would be scolded or beaten. They could always find eighteen reasons.

Whenever three bad boys get together and want to do something bad, they look like this.

Old Madam Xie was used to it, so she said helplessly but indulgently, "You have done many things that violate the Xie family's ancestral teachings since you were a child. Why are you so nervous now?"

Xie Yuchuan: "..."

Madam Zhou covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"That's right, mom is right. When did he take those ancestral family rules seriously? He must be crazy! He believes in evil."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

There was laughter all around, many of them had watched how Xie Yuchuan, the sixth son of the Xie family, grew up. The trouble he had caused in the capital alone was equal to the trouble caused by all the gentlemen in the Duke's Mansion combined.

Everyone was taking medicine to reduce fever and trying to be cheerful despite the hardship. With the magic medicine from the family god, no one in the Xie family seemed to be worried about their own illness. They believed that they would definitely get better after taking the medicine from the family god.

After relaxing, Madam Xie's tone became serious and she asked him, "If Xiong Jiushan doesn't want to talk, what do you think?"

Xie Yuchuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes were as bright as before.

"To watch someone in danger and not help him is not the foundation of our Xie family."

"Once the magic medicine comes out, the journey in the future will not be as peaceful as it is now." Old Madam Xie reminded.

Xie Yuchuan pondered for a moment, smiled, raised his eyes and said.

"If he follows me to fight the bandits, his journey won't be as hard as it is now."

Madam Xie looked at him.

"If you've made up your mind, just do it. When a man is doing something, it's not advisable to look ahead and behind."

Xie Yuchuan nodded.

He stayed with his grandmother and mother for a while longer before going back.

As soon as he returned to the thatched cottage, his guard Zhou Chuan said, "General, most people's fever has subsided, but two people's fever has returned after they subsided."

"Is it good?" "Not bad, I think I can hold on."

"Then wait a little longer. The family god's medicine always works quickly." He has experience, so nothing serious should happen.

The Xie family was doing their best to deal with the sudden illness. The noise outside was getting louder and louder. At the convict camp, the officers all had black faces. Some of them fell ill with fever and cough. Not only were there more and more weak convicts, but some of the escorts also began to feel unwell.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the Tian family did not expect that the officers and soldiers left in the fort would be subject to accidents one after another.

The elders of the Tian family did not want to cause trouble and blamed Tian Su'e for causing trouble to protect herself. Now, the officials fell ill in their Tian family's territory. If anything happened, the entire Tian family would be finished. What was there to worry about?

The eldest daughter of the Tian family listened to the complaints without saying a word, then turned around and told her subordinates to give the officials whatever they wanted, to call in the doctor quickly, and to prepare the medicines, as saving lives was the most important thing.

Many people in the fort fell ill when they woke up.

There were headaches both inside and outside. Tian Su'e pinched her forehead and leaned on the table in deep thought.

When the shopkeeper Tian Qing came in, she raised her head and asked, "How is it?"

Tian Qing's face didn't look good, and his tone was serious: "It seems that more and more people are getting sick. I went over there to deliver medicine, and Mr. Xiong didn't look good."

Tian Su'e slammed her fist on the table and cursed, "The bastards in Qinglong Village are getting more and more insidious! Shameless."

"Several shops in the city have also been disrupted by street ruffians."

"It's intentional." Tian Su'e sneered, "Isn't this just forcing the Tian family to pay tribute?"

Shopkeeper Tian didn't dare to say anything and just stood aside.

After a while of silence.

Tian Su'e asked: "That Xie family..."

Tian Qing understood: "The Xie family that has Tiantang? Has the eldest lady made up her mind?"

“Are there many sick people over there?”

Tian Qing shook his head. "I'm not sure about that, but when I came back just now, I saw Mr. Xiong seemed to be going that way."

Tian Su'e's eyes lit up, she looked up and asked uncertainly: "Go find someone from the Xie family?"

"Yes."

Tian Su'e pondered and said, "I heard people in the village talking about the Xie family. Uncle Tian, ​​how credible do you think this is?"

"Miss, it is always better to believe in the existence of gods and ghosts than to believe in their non-existence. Moreover, we are a merchant family and we have always been respectful. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. There is no harm in giving it a try."

"Uncle Tian's words make sense, but...if I go past Lord Xiong, I wonder if he will feel resentful."

The master and servant discussed for a moment and decided to watch it for a while longer.

Because of this little extra time of concern, the Tian family almost missed the opportunity to truly change their destiny.

On the other side, Xiong Jiushan got the news that the Xie family had medicine, and went straight to Xie Yuchuan without delay.

Xie Yuchuan was called out of the house and taken by Xiong Jiushan to a nearby tent where fugitives were held.

In the small tent, the servants brought a charcoal brazier for heating.

"sit."

Xiong Jiushan spoke in a low voice and was not polite to Xie Yuchuan.

Xie Yuchuan looked calm and didn't say anything. He sat down when the escort officer asked him to.

The two of them sat across from each other across the hot brazier. As soon as they sat down, Xiong Jiushan skipped all the probing nonsense and asked directly:

"I heard that your Xie family has a good medicine that can cure acute colds?"

Xie Yuchuan had expected this, and nodded calmly, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Your Excellency, yes. The Xie family can take out the magic medicine to relieve your worries. I wonder what you will give in exchange?"

Xiong Jiushan frowned and secretly thanked Yuchuan for being tactless.

Xie Yuchuan lowered his eyes and lightly brushed off the charcoal ash on his knees.

"Your Excellency should know that the medicine is a gift from the gods. Yuchuan should not act without permission."
