Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The boy was in a hurry to leave but was stopped by He Lei.

He was already injured, and this made him cough violently. Liu Xu thought of his tears before he fainted, so she stepped forward to comfort him:

"Little brother, don't worry. If you trust me, can I go and see your elders for you?"

The boy was hesitant, and Liu Xu continued, "You also said that your elder is bedridden. You are covered in wounds now, and going back will not help. It will also make that person worry about you. I guess you took the wallet for that person. I'll take the old doctor over to help, okay?"

The young man pursed his lips and lowered his head in thought. These people didn't seem to be sent by the other side, but for no reason, they were a little too kind. But, Uncle Yan...

The young man frowned, feeling torn.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xu asked puzzledly.

The little girl's clear voice brought the boy back to his senses, and he looked up at Liu Xu again.

The little girl in front of him looked about seven or eight years old. She looked at him with clear and bright eyes, like a clear spring, without a trace of impurities, only a hint of curiosity.

There was also the boy who had stopped him earlier, and the girl who had kicked him down earlier. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, and they all seemed to have simple minds.

It’s just that the little girl’s uncle just now… seemed to have noticed something… but he didn’t feel any hostility.

Thinking of this, the young man pursed his lips and nodded, "My name is Yang Yan, and the one who is bedridden is my uncle Yan Hao. We are temporarily living in the innermost house in Banjie Lane."

Liu Xu nodded, "Then you rest well here, I'll take the old doctor to check it out."

"In that case, thank you for your help, Miss Liu. As for the expenses... Yan will definitely pay it back in the future." The young man was mature beyond his age.

"Okay! Then you wait here, little brother. I'll be back soon." Then he instructed He Lei,

"Brother He Lei, you stay here and take care of little brother. Sister Duoduo and I will go take a look!"

"No." "No!" "No!" three voices said in unison.

Liu Xu looked at Xu Mingzhe, Xu Huairen and He Lei in confusion.

"Bao'er, what can you two little girls do if you go there? The other side is an adult man, how can you help? Why not let your eldest uncle take your uncle Huairen with him? You three kids stay here to take care of this kid?" Xu Mingzhe said, keeping an eye on Yang Yan.

The boy didn't seem to object.

"Yes, young lady. And you promised Madam that you would never leave my sight."

Liu Xu looked at them and then at the young man, Yang Yan, "Little brother, is it okay? Don't worry, my uncle is also a very good person."

Yang Yan nodded gently, "Thank you, uncle!"

Xu Mingzhe nodded slightly, then took Xu Huairen out to find the old doctor.

There were three half-grown children and a little girl named Liu Xu left behind. They looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Liu Xu held her chin with both hands, "Little brother, I hear your accent and it seems like you are not from here?"

Yang Yan nodded, "My uncle and I are from Yongqing Prefecture."

"Then why did you come to Yuyang Town? Do you have relatives here?" Liu Xu continued to ask with blinking eyes.

Yang Yan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "No. My family is in business. Because my father was seriously ill, my brothers kept fighting for the family property. My mother was just an aunt, and she was afraid that my brothers would lay their hands on me, so she took advantage of their lack of time to take care of me and asked my uncle to take me away. She planned to send me to an uncle."

"Just a month ago, when we were about to leave Yongshun Prefecture, we encountered bandits. They seemed to be robbing me but actually wanted to kill me. My uncle and his escort led me out of the encirclement. But there were too many people on the other side, so he had to hide me and lead them out of Yongshun Prefecture."

"My uncle was seriously injured when he came back. He fled here with me and fell into a coma. But we didn't have much money, so I had to rent a house temporarily and bought some cheap medicine. But it's been more than half a month, and my uncle still hasn't woken up. The lease on the house is about to expire, so I..."

Han Duoduo: "So that's why you stole the wallet and wanted to hire a doctor for your uncle?"

Willow catkins...Senior sister is probably a fool.

Sure enough, Yang Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, and even his ears turned red.

"I don't know whether to say you are unlucky or lucky! You just happened to run into us, and Miss Duoduo kicked you..."

"He Lei, shut up!" Han Duoduo was a little angry. "How could I know it would be like this! You too, you can do anything else but become a thief? You can steal if you want, but you got caught!"

"Hey, Miss Duoduo, what you said is not right. If there were other ways, would he have gone to steal? He was caught the first time he tried to steal, so he is obviously a novice. I saw that he would steal from that man, so he should have known that he was not a good person, otherwise there would be so many people on the street, and there would be many who are richer and easier to steal than that man."

Han Duoduo touched his chin and said, "What you said seems to make sense!"

Seeing Yang Yan’s ears getting even redder, Liu Xu covered her face.

"Senior Sister, Brother He Lei, why don't you go out and buy some food? It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?"

Han Duoduo: "Why do we have to buy it? Can't we just ask Zuiyunxuan to send a table over? Didn't I hear that you, the boss, don't pay for meals?"

Willow catkins: ...

"Then someone has to go, right?"

"I'll go. I'm familiar with Xiao Shanzi. Miss, you and Miss Duoduo wait for me here!" He Lei patted his chest.

"Okay, don't order too much, just enough to eat. Ask Uncle Chang to prepare something lighter, and then send some to little brother's uncle." Liu Xu instructed.

"I understand, miss. I'm leaving now!" He Lei said and left.

"Little brother, drink some water first." Liu Xu picked up the teapot on the table next to him and poured three cups of water, handed one cup to Han Duoduo, and then handed another cup to Yang Yan.

"Thank you!"

"Little brother, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to look for your uncle again?" Liu Xu asked while drinking water.

"He's in this state, how can he still go looking for someone? He might starve to death before he even leaves Yongshun Prefecture!"

The corners of Liu Xu's mouth twitched.

Yang Yan shook his head. "I want to find a job in Yuyang Town first and save some money to treat my uncle's injury. When he gets better, we will find a way to contact him."

Liu Xu didn't have the heart to hit him, but,

"That... little brother, you may not understand your current condition. The old doctor said earlier... because you were always hungry before, your body is extremely weak, and today... now you not only have bruises all over your body, but also internal shock. If you don't take good care of yourself, I'm afraid..."

When Yang Yan heard this, he was in disbelief at first, but then he smiled. However, that smile looked so bitter and even desolate!

Han Duoduo looked at him with some reluctance, "Hey, kid, don't do this! It's not... it's just a cure, anyway, I am half responsible for your condition. I'll find someone to cure you!"

Liu Xu's mouth became an O shape. Her senior sister... was really quick-witted!

Not to mention how much money it would cost to cure him, it would take quite a while, and the other party also had a seriously injured uncle, who could be ignored. And where would they live during this period? They said the lease on the house was about to expire.

"Is it really okay?" Yang Yan looked at Han Duoduo blankly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Han Duoduo patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll let Grandpa Meng treat you. His medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace."

Liu Xu really wanted to cover Han Duoduo's mouth, but seeing the boy's expression, she couldn't bear it.
