Chapter 960 Life-saving grace
Chu Junting glanced at Yun Yang, who immediately took out one hundred taels and handed it to the old man.
"I only knew Xiao Wenyuan once, I am not his family. I just heard that something happened to him, so I came to look for him in this area."
We will inform his family when we get back. Please take care of him with this money; we will thank you properly once he wakes up.
Chu Junting's expression was indifferent; this was a mess that the Xiao family had made of their own.
If it weren't for Xia Zhilan, they wouldn't have bothered making this trip at all. As for the life-saving grace, let Xiao Wenyuan handle it himself.
As for romantic entanglements, that's up to him!
The old man looked at the hundred taels in his hand. In fact, he had only spent a few taels of silver to hire the doctor, but he did not expect them to spend a hundred taels at once. This was too extravagant.
"Young master, this amount of silver is a bit too much..."
Xing'er immediately pulled her elderly father over, saying, "Father, just accept it. They won't care about this hundred taels of silver."
She rescued the person so that she could live a better life. Whether it was to live a better life with them or to earn more money, it was all good.
Song Ruozhen found it amusing to see Xing'er's thoughts written all over her face, without any attempt to hide them.
In fact, everyone has ambitions and wants to live a good life. It is only right and proper for people to receive rewards for saving lives without stealing or robbing.
"Yes, just keep it. This guy isn't short of money. He can thank you properly after he wakes up."
Song Ruozhen smiled and looked at Xiao Wenyuan beside her. It was time for this guy to wake up. He stayed in the Xiao family all day long and grew up with Xiao Wenche since childhood. He hadn't realized that his brother was a poisonous snake all these years.
He had no idea that his partner had been harboring other thoughts all along.
If I hadn't happened to have an out-of-body experience and witnessed all of this, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark for many more years.
Xiao Wenyuan naturally understood Song Ruozhen's meaning; at this moment, he was only thinking about taking revenge once he returned!
Since his brother didn't treat him as family, he naturally wouldn't treat him as family either!
"It's time to go back."
Song Ruozhen glanced at Xiao Wenyuan, who nodded, indicating that he was also ready.
The next moment, Chu Junting told Xing'er and the old man to go out first, and asked Yunyang to guard outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, Song Ruozhen formed hand seals, and a talisman quietly took shape. "Soul, return!"
Looking at himself lying on the bed, pale-faced, Xiao Wenche didn't know how he could go back. But as soon as he heard Song Ruozhen tell him to return, a huge force seemed to pull him back into his body.
"All right?"
Chu Junting looked at his wife. He didn't have the ability to see ghosts at this moment, so he couldn't see the situation. However, he could tell from her expression that the matter had been resolved.
Song Ruozhen nodded, "It was a very simple matter. His soul left his body and returned to the Xiao residence based on the places he had lived in his life."
Unfortunately, he couldn't remember where his physical body was, so he couldn't return.
"I was just helping him out. He'll wake up soon after his soul returns to its place."
As they were talking, Xiao Wenyuan slowly woke up.
Xiao Wenyuan subconsciously moved his hand and grabbed the blanket covering him. He was overjoyed to find that he could touch the real thing.
They really are back!
He's not dead!
"Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess! I will never forget your life-saving grace."
Xiao Wenyuan tried to sit up, but found that his body was extremely weak. He could sit up but then fell back down.
Song Ruozhen waved her hand and said, "Your body is too weak. You probably haven't eaten anything for the past few days, only drunk a little water. Plus, your soul has just been restored. You should rest well for now."
For the first time, Xiao Wenyuan felt so weak, and could only say:
"I'm so sorry, I'll definitely come to thank you in person after I get back to you."
He knew that if he hadn't met the Crown Princess this time, he would have faced certain death.
“Young Master Xiao, you’ve had a tough time too. Why don’t you think about how to resolve this when we get back? This matter isn’t so easy to resolve.”
Song Ruozhen thought that when Xiao Wenyuan returned to the Xiao family, this drama would definitely be very interesting. Just thinking about Xiao Wenche and the others' expressions made her very curious.
Xiao Wenyuan nodded, his eyes turning serious. "I will definitely handle this matter well."
……
Xiao family.
"Wen Yuan, after the Empress arrived today, that woman Xia Zhilan had the palace staff take inventory of all her dowry."
Judging from her demeanor, she truly intends to distance herself from us. If we really let her leave with Chuxue, she'll likely have nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore.
Madam Xiao couldn't help but worry; in her eyes, Xia Zhilan was a precious gem.
Not only was her dowry generous, but she also had the Empress Dowager as her powerful backer.
The only downside is that she doesn't know how to please him, and after having a daughter, she couldn't have any more children for a long time.
The second child is a bright child with a promising future. How can things continue if there is no one to carry on the family line?
However, the second son, in order to make a good impression and let everyone know that he was truly devoted to Xia Zhilan, refused to even take a concubine, fearing that the Empress Dowager would be displeased if word got out.
This is a perfect solution, but no matter what, they have to keep Xia Zhilan here.
Only by staying and serving them like slaves can I truly feel at ease!
"Is she convinced of Wen Che's identity, which is why she's so resolute?"
"Why don't you think of a way to make him believe you're Wen Yuan? Maybe then her attitude will change. And that girl Chu Xue, she's all grown up now and isn't so easy to fool anymore."
Lu Fei also felt that the matter was troublesome, as Xia Zhilan had treated all of her dowry as her own!
What a pity it would be if Xia Zhilan took him away like this.
“I need to think of something.” Xiao Wenche frowned. “She has been with me for years and knows everything about me too well. She simply doesn’t believe what I say.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Fei suddenly thought of a method and said:
"How about... we drug her, make her lose her mind, and preferably turn her into a complete madwoman!"
"In this way, if we keep her in the manor, everyone will praise us, and her things will naturally fall into our hands. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
She had long hoped that Xia Zhilan would die, so that no one in the Xiao family could overshadow her.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Xiao Wenche's eyes. "She did give me a daughter, after all. Isn't it a bit too cruel to give her this kind of drug?"
"We only did this because we had no other choice."
"If she didn't want to leave, we wouldn't have to do this, but she insisted on leaving, so we had no choice but to do it." Lu Fei shrugged, her face showing innocence.
