Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Something Happened

Mrs. Kuang nodded, but she was wary of Qin San Lang, and said: "Qin Ruofan is a ruthless person. If we openly help the Gu Family and ruin his grand plan of killing his wife, I’m afraid our family will also suffer."

Niu Wujin was very troubled: "What should we do then? We can’t just watch them die without helping."

Mrs. Kuang was shocked, then happily exclaimed: "Wujin, my dear child, you’ve even learned how to use idioms, you’ve grown so much! Where did you learn that?"

Niu Wujin chuckled and said: "I learned it from Bao Fukan. Although he looks like a sickly person, he’s actually very good at studying. I’ve learned a lot of idioms from studying with Doctor Dai. Your son here is much smarter than him, so of course I’ve picked up several."

Mrs. Kuang was overjoyed, and after praising her son for a while, she quickly thought of a way to save Gu Jinli: "Our family needs to continue taking advantage of the Qin family, but we can’t do it ourselves. You go to Company Commander Xie’s camp and tell Lady Xie about Qin San Lang wanting to accept a concubine, but Mrs. Qin disagrees, and the two are fighting each other. Currently, Company Commander Qin is planning to kill Mrs. Qin."

"Lady Xie is impulsive, and upon hearing these words, she’ll definitely take a knife and go rescue Mrs. Qin."

Don’t be fooled, Ji Zhenniang may always quarrel with Gu Jinli, but she relies on Gu Jinli very much and hates Qin San Lang for sponging. She’ll definitely rush over to save Gu Jinli.

Sure enough, after Niu Wujin went to the Xie Family Camp and talked about what was happening with the Gu Family, Ji Zhenniang started cursing: "Good for you, Qin Ruofan! Truly a shameless person—eating from the Gu Family is one thing, but now you want to take a concubine, and when that fails, you want to kill your wife! No way, I must go save Gu Xiaoyu. She’s been enchanted by Qin Ruofan, listening to everything that surname Qin says. If I don’t go save her, she won’t survive until tomorrow!"

As Ji Zhenniang said this, she went to find Xie Cheng’s knife, intending to save someone.

The Qin family sent snake ointment grass roots over to Xie Cheng. Xie Cheng was grinding them with people overnight, and upon hearing the news, Ji Zhenniang had already stormed the Qin Family Camp causing a scene.

When Xie Cheng arrived, Ji Zhenniang was being held by Erqing, preventing her from hurting anyone.

Xie Cheng hurriedly rushed over to apologize to Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli: "Brother Qin, sister-in-law, I am truly sorry. My wife’s poison hasn’t been fully cleared, and she can’t control her temper. I hope you can forgive her."

Ji Zhenniang shouted when she heard this: "Forgive my ass, Xie Cheng shut up! Do you know that Qin Ruofan wants to accept a concubine, and after Gu Xiaoyu disagreed, he hit Gu Xiaoyu and even wants to kill her? I’m rescuing Gu Xiaoyu!"

Gu Jinli: "..."

She was beaten by Brother Qin?

Absolutely not.

Brother Qin didn’t know how to cherish her more; it was Brother Qin who suffered tonight while she sat comfortably in the carriage watching him being battered by the cold wind outside.

"Ji Zhenniang, shut up. Where did you hear such rumors? None of that happened!" Xie Cheng was having a headache. Why is his wife always so impulsive and thoughtless?

Xie Cheng wanted to speak for Qin San Lang, but who knew Qin San Lang would suddenly say: "I didn’t hit her, I was just angry she wouldn’t let me accept a concubine and offended General Fan’s mother, ruining my career."

Ji Zhenniang exploded upon hearing this, pointing at Qin San Lang she said to Xie Cheng: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Qin Ruofan indeed wants to accept a concubine, and now that Gu Xiaoyu stopped him, he will certainly find a way to kill Gu Xiaoyu!"

Xie Cheng said: "You’re overthinking it. Brother Qin wouldn’t do something like that."

"Pfft, only you believe him. The whole Westward Army knows Qin San Lang can’t stand Gu Xiaoyu’s ugliness and wants to kill her on the road to replace her with a pretty wife!" Ji Zhenniang was furious, after yelling she pointed at Xie Cheng and asked: "Why are you speaking up for the surname Qin? Do you also want a few concubines?!"

Xie Cheng was speechless. He found a moment to rush behind Ji Zhenniang, knocked her out with a karate chop, lifted her in his arms and said: "Brother Qin, sister-in-law, I’m sorry you had to witness this. We’ll leave now, you rest well."

After saying this, he quickly carried Ji Zhenniang away.

Gu Jinli’s face had already been covered again with an acne patch, she looked at Qin San Lang with great concern... wondering if the act went too far?

Qin San Lang’s dangling hand quickly waved over to her, signaling her to hurry back to the carriage and not give anything away.

Gu Jinli could only glare fiercely at him and curse: "Surnamed Qin, you think you can kill me for a concubine, no way!"

After speaking, she stomped back to the carriage in a huff. But the act went too far, she slipped and almost fell, scaring Qin San Lang who almost couldn’t help but rush over to support her.

But he held back, he couldn’t ruin everything they’d built.

After Ji Zhenniang’s commotion, the entire camp knew about Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli’s fight, and that they were trying to kill each other.

Ding Ge was delighted, and Fang Tian along with Old Lady Fan were even happier.

Fang Tian was in Old Lady Fan’s tent comforting her: "Mother, you heard it all. Qin San Lang and the Gu Family’s relationship has deteriorated to the point where they want to kill each other. Don’t worry, one day Qin San Lang will accept Dongzhi, and you’ll finally release this pent-up anger."

Only mentioned Dongzhi?

It seems my son still wants to take Chunzhi as a concubine.

But that girl Chunzhi is too cunning and full of schemes. Old Lady Fan keeps her around to ruin others, not to harm her own son.

Old Lady Fan suppressed her thoughts, held Fang Tian’s hand and said: "I don’t mind being a little wronged, mother intends to use Chunzhi and Dongzhi to exchange for those skilled in medicine from the Gu Family. Those doctors, medical women, and those knowledgeable about finding medicinal herbs are all essential people. They’re not easy to cultivate, but if they can work for you, they’d surely assist you greatly."

Old Lady Fan sending women to Qin San Lang was because she had her eye on the Gu Family’s doctors and medical women. She thought of sending two maids to Qin San Lang first, then having her son hint a few things. If Qin San Lang was smart, he would send two medical professionals over.

But she didn’t expect that the Gu Family was so fiery-tempered. Not only did they refuse Chunzhi and Dongzhi, but they also directly insulted her and when they returned to the camp, even had the gall to fight with Qin San Lang, stirring up a fuss about wanting a divorce!

Honestly speaking, Old Lady Fan was a little scared. This Gu Family was too decisive, leaving no room for retreat.

"I understand mother’s care for me," Fang Tian comforted Old Lady Fan, but today he drank some wine and for some reason, his mind was a bit cloudy. Plus, thinking of Chunzhi’s figure made him crave female company and he didn’t want to waste any more time here, so he said: "Mother, it’s late, you should rest. We have to rise early to continue the journey tomorrow morning."

And promised: "Don’t worry mother, the Gu Family’s so disrespectful to their own man, they definitely won’t have a good ending. You don’t need to get angry over her. As for the medical professionals from the Gu Family, I am Qin San Lang’s superior, although not in the same Prefecture, I can still manage to ask him for two people."

But asking a subordinate for people looked a bit awkward.

This is also why Old Lady Fan wanted to use maids to exchange for medical women from the Gu Family.

The Fan Family is certainly more noble than the Qin and Gu’s muddy-booted families, they care for face.

Old Lady Fan was tired too, and said: "Okay, you go back first."

She was also afraid Chunzhi would seduce Fang Tian, so she specifically kept Chunzhi to serve her, and had Dongzhi send Fang Tian off.

Chunzhi was not pleased. She had also planned to take the opportunity to get close to Fang Tian. After all, Fang Tian was a fourth-rank general, while Qin San Lang was merely a Company Commander. She would rather be Fang Tian’s concubine than Qin San Lang’s.

But despite Old Lady Fan’s many precautions, something still went wrong.

Fang Tian didn’t go far. After Old Lady Fan fell asleep, he went to the tent, found Chunzhi, and took her away.
