A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Sha Yanxiao originally wanted to stay and accompany Guier himself, but Guier thought that she was already grown up and it would be inconvenient, so she asked him to arrange for Dingxiang to come and take care of her.

Sha Yanxiao arranged two armed men to stand guard at the door of the ward before he left with peace of mind.

Dingxiang came over, put down the lunch box and burst into tears. Guier asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Ding Xiang said, "I thought you were murdered, young lady. I was so scared. When the police called the mansion, the second young master turned pale. Everyone thought you were raped or beaten to death."

Guier rolled her eyes and said, "You're just worrying about nothing. I'm blessed with a good life. What did you bring? I'm hungry."

Ding Xianglian hurriedly opened the lunch box, which contained hot chicken soup. Gui'er was hungry, so she started to eat it with relish.

Dingxiang sighed as she watched. Guier asked curiously, "Isn't it okay now? Why are you still sighing?"

Ding Xiang said, "This incident has affected your marriage proposal in the future."

Gui'er was puzzled: "What's the impact? Wasn't I saved? That Young Master Liang should have been arrested too, right?"

Ding Xiang still looked worried as she said, "Before I came here, there were a lot of rumors in the mansion. Some said it was because you, Miss, rejected the Liang family's proposal that Young Master Liang did this because he was in love with you. They said that since you broke his ear, you should marry him."

Gui Er said angrily, "You believe that? Don't listen to those people spewing shit."

"But young lady, when I came out, I heard the guards talking at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion. They said that Master Liang had given 100 gold bars to the Marshal, so Young Master Liang had been released. Master Liang even proposed that you marry Young Master Liang again."

Although Gui'er was angry after hearing this, the effect of the medicine had just worn off and she felt very tired. She wanted to sleep after eating and didn't want to care about all these messy things. She would think of a way to deal with Young Master Liang after she woke up.

The next morning, Gui'er was able to be discharged from the hospital. Sha Yanxiao drove over personally and took her back to the Marshal's Mansion.

Gui'er returned to Sha Yanxiao's courtyard. All the servants, maids, and maids were waiting for her in the yard. When they saw her get out of the carriage, they came forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Guier nodded and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you all. I'm fine."

Gui'er sat down in her room. Sha Yanxiao sat beside her, looking at her worriedly. "Are you okay? How are you feeling today? Are you feeling any discomfort? Are there any lasting effects?"

Gui'er shook her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with my health, but brother, I heard that the Liang family actually wants me to marry this Young Master Liang. Is that true? How would father react? I definitely won't marry him. If I really do, I might shoot him to death on our wedding night, what a scumbag." This was the first time Gui'er said something harsh in front of Sha Yanxiao.

Sha Yanxiao looked at the girl he had raised, a well-behaved and intelligent one, with a bit of surprise. After a long moment of observation, he patted her head and said, "No, I won't let you marry him. I've already taken action. I've sent people to verify whether the Liang family is as well-connected as they say, and to find some evidence against them. Don't worry."

Gui'er nodded and said, "Thank you, brother. I know you will definitely not treat me unfairly, but as for father..."

Sha Yanxiao said, "Although my father wants to use his children's marriage to gain some benefits, that's understandable. But if he knew that the Liang family couldn't bring any benefits, he wouldn't agree. Don't worry."

The two were chatting when Dingxiang knocked on the door and came in and said, "Master and Miss, the eldest master and his fiancée are here to visit you."

Gui'er said hurriedly, "Then please ask him to come in."

After a while, Sha Yanyao and Miss Tian came in. Sha Yanyao nodded to Sha Yanxiao, then walked over and asked Guier with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"

Guier smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I'm fine."

Miss Tian also took out a few boxes of fish maw and said, "My sister must have been frightened. Stewing fish maw with some lilies can replenish qi and calm the mind."

Gui'er quickly said, "Thank you, Sister Xiuwen."

Sha Yanxiao also said to Miss Tian: "Thank you for your trouble."

Miss Tian smiled and said, "It's said that Young Master Liang is indeed obsessed with my sister, to the point of doing such an outrageous thing. However, I have heard that the pawnshop owner Liang's brother does have some connections in Nanjing. He's very smooth, but I wouldn't say he's overly arrogant."

Gui'er couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing this. Sha Yanxiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Tian, for telling us these things."

Sha Yanyao said, "Sister, can you get some rest these two days? Your school is about to start, right? We're planning to leave for Nanjing in the next few days."

Gui'er quickly said, "Sure, I'll just rest for two days and I should be fine."

Sha Yanyao nodded and said, "That's great. Then come back to Nanjing with us."

Gui'er was originally worried that since she had previously refused to have a child with Sha Yanyao, they would be unhappy and would no longer allow her to study with them in Nanjing. Fortunately, that didn't happen.

Sha Yanyao and Miss Tian stayed for a while and then said goodbye. Sha Yanxiao saw them out.

Dingxiang said to Guier, "Miss, I don't think you should go to Nanjing with the young master."

Gui'er asked her curiously, "Why?"

Ding Xiang said, "You offended the eldest young master a while ago, and the Liang family also has influence in Nanjing. They are afraid that if you return to Nanjing and they continue to force you, the eldest young master's family will send you away for their own interests in Nanjing. Then the second young master will not be able to protect you."

Gui'er thought about it and realized that Liang Guowei was mainly looking for revenge because she had embarrassed him, not because he had any real attachment to her. He shouldn't have used his uncle's connections to gain control of the situation. She smiled and said, "The mountains in Nanjing are high and the emperor is far away. Would his uncle really use his connections for his nonsense? He probably wouldn't."

However, since Dingxiang brought it up, Guier thought it would be better to talk to Sha Yanxiao and give him a heads-up.

Then we arrived at the hall.

Sha Yanxiao had just sent Sha Yanyao away, and Guier was about to talk to him about this matter, but she saw a man rushing in from outside.

"Young Marshal, I'm back."

Gui'er looked closely and saw that it was Wu Mingqiang. He walked in, looking very tired. When he saw Gui'er, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Miss, are you back for vacation?"
