A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 137 Saved

At this time, Sha Yanxiao and Song Xichen walked into the yard, followed by Sha Yanwen.

Sha Lili saw it at a glance, rushed over, hugged him, shouted "Brother" and burst into tears.

Gui'er looked a little sad, as she had no close relatives in this world.

Song Xichen stepped forward, picked up Gui'er, and while stroking her head, he said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's safe, don't be afraid."

Gui'er nodded with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to say thank you, Sha Yanxiao suddenly reached out and snatched Gui'er from Song Xichen's arms, hugged her and said, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid."

Song Xichen rolled his eyes at him and shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Sha Lili took Sha Yanwen to the main house to rescue the fourth concubine.

Song Xichen walked up to the daughters of the fifth and sixth concubines, called his men to pick them up and send them to the hospital.

One of the men carried him to the door and then returned, saying to Song Xichen, "Director, this won't work."

Sha Yanxiao quickly put Gui'er down and went forward to check. It was the sixth concubine's youngest daughter. The little girl was only five or six years old. She might be allergic to the medicine they gave her, or something else, her body was cold.

Although Gui'er and Sha Lili were in the same room with her, they were so focused on surviving that they didn't even check their condition and simply assumed they had fainted.

Sha Yanxiao sighed, waved his hand, and asked someone to take her to the hospital.

When they arrived at the yard, the women in the main house had been rescued. It turned out that the lady and the third, fourth and eighth concubines had also woken up, but the effect of the medicine was still there, and they felt a little weak all over and needed someone to support them. The fifth concubine was conscious, but her clothes were disheveled and she looked dazed. There were many scars on her body and face, and her cheongsam was torn to pieces. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened.

Sha Yanxiao quickly took off his military uniform and put it on her, then had someone help him into a car and send him to the hospital.

The Sixth Concubine was still not fully awake. Sha Yanxiao had some water poured on her face, and she seemed to be drowsy and trying to wake up. She was then sent to the hospital.

Sha Yanxiao walked up to his wife and said, "Mom, are you all right? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

The lady shook her head weakly and said, "No, the master doesn't like us to see a male doctor."

Sha Yanxiao then arranged for a car to take the sober women back to the mansion. Before leaving, Sha Yanxiao said to his wife, "The waiter in the Sixth Concubine's room is gone."

The lady was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "I understand."

Afterwards, Sha Yanxiao called over an adjutant and said, "Send someone to the hospital and the temple to keep an eye on them. No word of what happened today can get out."

The adjutant saluted and said, "Yes." Then he turned to Sha Yanxiao, "What should we do here? The neighbors on both sides heard the gunshots. It was too noisy."

Sha Yanxiao said, "Spread the word that the army and police have jointly wiped out a group of bandits who came down from the mountains. Anyone who dares to spread rumors and cause trouble will be charged with disrupting public order."

The adjutant nodded and said, "I understand, and then I left."

Sha Yanxiao turned to Song Xichen and said, "Director Song, thank you for your cooperation in this matter, but I don't want any news to get out."

Song Xichen smiled and said, "Young Marshal, don't worry, I know what to do."

Sha Yanxiao said with satisfaction: "Very good, I will take this body and all these prisoners away."

Song Xichen still kept smiling: "Please do as you please."

Sha Yanxiao waved his hand and asked the soldiers to come in to carry the bodies and escort the prisoners.

At this moment, the Marshal suddenly ran in and said to Sha Yanxiao, "Son, did you hear they found it?"

Sha Yanxiao said to the Marshal, "Yes, I have sent my father, mother, and some of the uninjured concubines back to the Marshal's residence. I think we may have missed each other on the way."

"The fifth and sixth concubines and several younger sisters were severely poisoned and are somewhat unconscious. I have taken them to the hospital."

The Marshal frowned and said nothing.

Sha Yanxiao continued, "The waiter in the Sixth Concubine's room...is gone."

The Marshal's face darkened. He saw a corpse in the main hall and the leader with blood all over his head. He turned around and saw the Mauser pistol in Gui'er's hand. He said to Gui'er, "You did it?"

Guier said cautiously, "Lily and I took advantage of this man's unpreparedness and hit him on the head with a hammer and a stick. I grabbed the gun from him and fired a shot..."

Gui'er felt the room was quiet for two seconds. The Marshal walked up to her, pinched the flesh on her face, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're my daughter."

Then he gritted his teeth and said to Sha Yanxiao, "Send the living ones to the battalion headquarters and I will interrogate them personally." Then he turned around and went out and got in the car and left.

Song Xichen squatted down and said to Gui'er, "It's safe now. Can you give me the gun?"

Gui'er then realized that she had been holding the gun tightly, so she gave the gun to Song Xichen.

Song Xichen unloaded the bullets, looked around, and said to Sha Yanxiao, "It's been modified, and its origin cannot be seen."

Sha Yanxiao nodded and said, "I understand, Director Song. That's all for now. Leave the rest to us. Thank you for your hard work, brothers. You can go back now."

Song Xichen patted Guier's head, and Guier said, "Thank you, Brother Xichen. Thank those uncles for me, too."

Song Xichen nodded and led the police officers present to withdraw.

Sha Yanxiao asked Gui'er to wait in the yard while he checked every room. When he came out, he asked Gui'er, "Didn't you drink that tea? Are you sure? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Gui'er said, "I wasn't thirsty, but the monks kept urging me to drink. I felt weird about it, so I took a sip and quietly spit it out."

Sha Yanxiao smiled, patted her head, and said, "Okay, let's go home."

Sha Yanxiao sent Gui'er back to the mansion, asked the kitchen to make her some food, and then he went out.

Dingxiang was in a hurry. She took a hot towel to wipe her hands and face, then poured her a glass of milk and told her to rest first.

Not long after, a few simple side dishes and rice were brought over from the small kitchen.

Gui'er had only eaten breakfast early in the morning and was already hungry, so she started to eat voraciously.

Ding Xiang said beside her, "Miss, you are so kind to me. If I had gone with you today, I don't know if I would have come back. I heard that Mei Xiang was disemboweled and He Xiang was poisoned to death."

Gui'er was stunned for a moment. Hexiang seemed to be a maid who was good friends with Meixiang. She didn't expect that both good friends died in this incident.

She asked Ding Xiang, "The news spread so quickly, have you all heard about it?"

Ding Xiang quickly said, "No, no, you know I'm a servant from the family. I grew up in the mansion and know more people. This is what Butler Zhao, who is beside the Marshal, told me quietly."

Gui'er nodded and said, "Just tell me here. Don't spread the news to other servants. Father and brother said they want to keep the news secret."

Dingxiang agreed repeatedly.
