Chapter 10: Encountering Bandits
Not only her, but even Qin Mengrui who was standing next to her suddenly bent down and vomited. Zhuang Qiuhe also felt unbearable pain in her abdomen.
"Just now, just now we only ate the dog meat and mushrooms you brought back..."
"Could it be that the mushroom is poisonous?"
Before she finished her words, Qin Mengrui's stomach churned. She covered her mouth, but couldn't resist the strong feeling of nausea.
To make matters worse, her abdomen began to cramp and she couldn't help but want to go to the toilet.
"I... I really can't bear it anymore, I want to go to the toilet!" Qin Mengrui's voice had a hint of crying. She hurriedly got up and staggered towards the toilet.
"Ugh... I... I can't hold on any longer either." Qin Ziqian followed closely behind.
The whole family took turns going in and out of the toilet and had no time to pay attention to the spring rain.
Chun Yu actually came to Jiang Nianwei beforehand, kneeling in front of her and begging, "Madam, you are our madam, you treat us with kindness and righteousness, and we all remember it in our hearts. This pile of bones is a trick set up by that woman to frame you!"
Jiang Nianwei said calmly: "Chun Yu, I am no longer the wife of the Marquis' Mansion, you don't need to call me that anymore. You said you wanted to leave the Qin family. Although I can understand your determination, leaving is not easy. I need to see your sincerity."
Jiang Nianwei already knew all this at that time, but with Chunyu's help, this matter would definitely be twice as easy to accomplish.
That's why what just happened happened. Chunyu would rather betray Meng Wanran and leave them. She definitely doesn't want to stay in the Qin family anymore.
Jiang Nianwei kept her. When they were in the Marquis' Mansion, Chunyu and Taozhi had a good relationship. Chunyu even helped Jiang Nianwei several times in private. She took the opportunity to "turn" Chunyu over.
When Chunyu saw the family working in the toilet, she explained, "The mushrooms that Meng Wanran picked must be poisonous."
Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but chuckle, "They are asking for trouble."
After a night of torture, the Qin family looked pale.
Not only did we lose everything we ate yesterday, we were also poisoned by mushrooms and suffered from vomiting, diarrhea, and hallucinations. Fortunately, we didn't eat much, otherwise we would probably have to report to the King of Hell.
Zhuang Qiuhe recalled the words she had used to praise Meng Wanran, and felt that she was not in her right mind at the time.
This woman was good at charts and did things without thinking, causing their whole family to suffer.
Meng Wanran also knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to argue with them.
When she saw Chunyu appear at the Jiang family's place the next day, Zhuang Qiuhe could no longer bear the anger in her heart and began to insult her, "You little bitch, who took you in when you were almost starving to death? I wanted to keep you by my side and make you a concubine after restoring the honor of the Marquis's Mansion. But you are so ungrateful and ungrateful!"
When Meng Wanran heard this, her face became even more gloomy. It turned out that her mother-in-law had such thoughts. Now she was glad that Chunyu betrayed her. If she had stayed around, she would definitely be a nuisance in the future.
"Anyway, your indenture is still with me. Even if you run away, you are not free... I will sell you to a brothel and let you suffer humiliation."
Just as Zhuang Qiuhe was about to reach out to take the indenture, she discovered that the paper had disappeared.
Chunyu took out the indenture in front of her and tore it to pieces in front of her former owner.
"I will be a free man from now on, old woman, you better take care of your own life!"
It turned out that when they were busy going in and out of the toilet, Jiang Nianwei asked her eldest brother to steal it back. When dealing with such people, there is no need to talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
Zhuang Qiuhe is usually a very demanding person, otherwise she would have so many loyal servants willing to follow her.
"you!"
Chunyu put his hands on his hips, as if he had accumulated all his resentment and grievances, which finally poured out at this moment.
"What do you mean by 'you'? You are now just an exiled prisoner. The title of Marquis has long been taken away, and even the indentureship no longer exists. You no longer have any qualifications to bully me!"
Zhuang Qiuhe was so angry that she felt upset, but she was speechless.
The officers around them cast warning glances at them because of the quarrel, and their eyes were full of impatience and indifference.
She had no choice but to grit her teeth, suppress the anger in her heart, and dared not speak again.
Afterwards, Taozhi and Chunyu began to distribute breakfast, and everyone in the Jiang family could get two meat patties for breakfast.
Zhuang Qiuhe touched her rumbling stomach and asked the officer humbly, "Sir, don't we have breakfast?"
"Breakfast, you guys are dreaming. Now we are not traveling, we are in exile! If you want breakfast, you have to buy it yourself."
Qin Mengrui watched them happily eating the meat patties, her mouth watering.
Zhuang Qiuhe also wanted to buy it, but the only money she had was taken away by Qin Ziqian to help Meng Wanran. Thinking of this, she felt even more angry.
Qin Ziqian had been reminded long ago not to bring this unclear woman home, but his usually calm son was bewildered by the woman's little tricks and didn't listen to her at all. Now he is suffering the consequences.
Because of the dog-eating incident last time, even the police were extra wary of them.
The exiled team set out early in the morning. Although the small road was shorter, it was often visited by bandits, so the officials would rather take the longer route and take the official road.
But for some reason, this time, one of the officers actually suggested taking a small road, "We have walked this way so many times and have never encountered bandits. Why not be lazy and walk less, so that we can escort them to Chunzhou sooner."
Yazhou is located in a remote area. All these runners will hand them over to runners from another place as long as they escort them to the area they are responsible for. They just want to complete the task as soon as possible.
After his persuasion, all the officers agreed to his proposal.
Jiang Nianwei, who had been paying attention to their movements, felt something was wrong. Why did they choose to go on this sparsely travelled path?
Thinking of what happened before, Jiang Nianwei became extremely alert. When she stepped into the woods, Jiang Siyu tightly grasped her hand and whispered, "Sister, why do I feel it's so spooky here?"
Jiang Nianwei also felt this strange atmosphere. She looked around and saw dense trees with intertwined branches and leaves, which were perfect for hiding her body.
Jiang Lanxu was the only one in their family who had learned martial arts. From the moment he stepped into the path in the forest, he had a bad feeling and reminded the carriage to drive carefully.
For the Qin family members, the toxicity of the poisonous mushrooms has not completely disappeared, so they have to stop the team's progress from time to time to solve the problem of stomachache in the wild.
This made Jiang Nianwei more cautious, as if they were deliberately delaying time.
Jiang Nianwei reminded everyone in the family to be prepared, and secretly gave the top-quality weapons she had taken from the Qin family's secret room to Jiang Lanxu.
In his previous life, in order to protect the whole family, the eldest brother was shot by several arrows but still fought tenaciously and escorted his family out of the forest safely.
When Jiang Yan walked out of the forest, he found that his back had been pierced by arrows and turned into a hedgehog.
After completing the mission, Jiang Lanxu finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground and died.
He had been depressed since his wife passed away, and then lost his life while protecting his family.
In this life, Jiang Nianwei was fully prepared. Even if bandits came, she felt there was nothing to be afraid of. What she feared most was that these people were not bandits at all.
The shadows on the tree rustled. Qin Ziqian changed his previous decadent attitude and became arrogant. He taunted: "Jiang Nianwei, if you kowtow and apologize in front of me now, I can still let you go for the sake of our past friendship."
Jiang Lanxu didn't care about his threats at all. "Qin Ziqian, I advise you to take care of your family's lives. You don't have to worry about the life and death of our Jiang family. My sister is even less likely to apologize to you because she is not guilty."
Qin Ziqian crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Okay, just wait and see."
Jiang Nianwei had an idea of what would happen next, and maybe he was also responsible for their encounter with the bandits.
Meng Wanran was very puzzled as to why he had such a completely different attitude. "Ziqian, are you hiding something from me?"
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and pulled Meng Wanran aside. He lowered his voice and spoke slowly: "Wanran, you are finally willing to talk to me. I hit you last time, and I know it was my fault. I was so upset at that time that I couldn't explain it to you clearly. But you have to believe me, the Jiang family, they will pay a heavy price in front of us."
A cruel smile appeared on his face, which made Meng Wanran feel chilled.
Getting rid of the Jiang family would definitely be a good thing. They brought so many supplies with them, and once their entire family was dead, we could take away their food and clothing.
She had long coveted the thick cotton-padded jacket on Jiang Nianwei. The weather was cold and they had not had time to prepare thick clothes when they were taken away. Now, sitting in the prison van, she was almost frozen to death.
On the other hand, the maids and nannies in that family were all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, which made her very jealous.
Her originally snow-white hands were now frozen purple, and her pink little face became rough from the wind and sun in the past few days.
If we can really get rid of this family, it would be a great thing that deserves applause.
Thinking of this, Meng Wanran finally got rid of the previous gloom and smiled.
The mountain road was bumpy, and even though she was sitting in the carriage, Jiang Nianwei's sister-in-law Qiu Meixue still felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Nianwei noticed her pale face, so she took out some preserved plums from her bag and said softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, eat some preserved plums."
Qiu Meixue smelled a sweet and sour taste, like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. She picked up a plum and put it in her mouth. Sure enough, the morning sickness reaction was slightly relieved.
"Thank you Nianwei for your consideration."
"My sister-in-law has had a hard time. She was pregnant and had a bumpy journey. It was all because of us that she was dragged down."
Qiu Meixue shook her head gently. "Since I'm married to Lan Xu, I'm a member of the Jiang family. I don't find it hard at all. But I have to trouble you to take care of everything along the way."
Perhaps because she had been married once, Qiu Meixue found that her sister-in-law was much more sensible and considerate, and acted steadily. If it weren't for her quick reaction, the family would not have had time to prepare so many things.
Most of the luggage she prepared was for her children, but she had always neglected herself. However, Jiang Nianwei had prepared everything and kept it in order.
Jiang Nianwei shook her head silently. In this life, she still had time to save her family, and she would treat them wholeheartedly and make up for her past regrets.
Jiang Yan coughed several times. Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei immediately asked him to separate from his sister-in-law and ride in a carriage. If they stayed together, there might be a risk of infection.
My father has been in poor condition since his exile.
Fortunately, she had prepared the pills in advance and gave them to him on the way. She even spent a lot of money to buy several Angong Niuhuang Pills in case of emergency.
At this moment, Jiang Lanxu suddenly reminded everyone, "It's not good, there seems to be an ambush ahead!"
As soon as the words fell, several nimble, masked men jumped down from the tree and attacked them.
There were several archers not far away, shooting arrows at their carriage, but Jiang Nianwei seemed unusually calm at this moment.
What was shocking was that the arrows shot at the carriage fell like leaves and were unable to penetrate the carriage at all.
Several assassins who jumped down from the tree also kept attacking Jiang Yan's carriage. Fortunately, Jiang Lanxu kept protecting him.
Jiang Nianwei had anticipated this situation, and while no one was paying attention, she pulled the carriage to the blacksmith shop for renovation.
On the surface, the carriage looked no different from other carriages, even a little shabby, but in fact, it was wrapped with iron sheets on all sides, so even if an arrow was shot at it, it would not be able to penetrate the carriage.
She even replaced the horse's harness with the sturdiest one.
Jiang Lanxu was hit by an arrow in the back, but it did not penetrate his chest like before, because he was wearing a golden soft armor inside, which saved his life.
The surrounding officers began to panic. Some wanted to escape in the chaos, some were still fighting bravely, and one person took advantage of the chaos to sneak in front of the carriage and wanted to kill Jiang Yan.
At this time, a group of bandits rushed out from nowhere, looking extremely brave.
One of the bandits was masked and tall. He slashed the officer who attacked him with a knife. Blood splattered on Jiang Nianwei's face, but she didn't show any fear.
The bandit stuffed a note into her hand, and Jiang Nianwei was a little dazed.
One of the bandits grabbed Meng Wanran and said, "You are a pretty girl. Why don't you come back with me and be my wife?"
"How dare you touch me? It's disgusting! Let me go! How can a lowly person like you have the right to touch me!"
After all, Meng Wanran was just a time traveler. Faced with such a bloody scene, he was so scared that he trembled. He was slapped hard by the other party, and then he became obedient and dared not move.
Another bandit even pulled Qin Ziqian over and said, "This prisoner from the capital has such delicate skin. I wonder what it tastes like."
Qin Ziqian was so frightened that he froze. Although he had been on the battlefield, he had always been commanding his men to fight in a tent. He had never seen such a bloody scene.
And this man was obviously a man, but she still touched him all over.
In a panic, he pointed his trembling fingers in the direction of Jiang Nianwei, and his words were already disorderly and panicked, "My dear heroes, I beg you to spare my life. There are women there who are much prettier than us. If you like, you can ravage them as much as you want and take them back to be your wives."
The leading gangster smiled coldly, "I'm not interested in women."
He turned pale with fear at this sentence, and covered his buttocks tightly with his hands, "What's so good about men? Women still taste better."
