Lin Jinyan nestled next to the old lady, opened the car curtain and looked out.
There were obviously more thieves than the Gu family's soldiers, but the two sides were in a stalemate, and only the soldiers and servants were injured.
After seeing a group of men and horses approaching in the distance, the thieves retreated while fighting. By the time the men and horses arrived, the thieves had already scattered and fled.
Gu Yichen was overjoyed when he saw the visitor: "Brother, why are you here?"
Gu Ruizhou tightened the reins and got off the horse: "Have you been injured? Where is mother? Where is An'er Yan'er? I came back to the city from the camp and heard that you are coming back today, so I came to greet you. Who are these people?"
"My mother is in the carriage. An'er Yan'er and my uncle's old lady are all fine. A dozen soldiers and servants were injured. I met the second prince by chance, but fortunately he was fine. Those people came here for money, like bandits."
"Bandits? This place is so close to the capital, how can there be bandits?"
The two brothers asked and answered questions and walked quickly towards the carriage. When they met the Chu Chengyao brothers, they bowed and thanked them. After seeing that everyone else was safe, Bai Yiran got out of the carriage and bandaged the injured person to stop the bleeding.
After cleaning up, Gu Ruizhou led his troops to escort everyone back to the city.
On the way, Bai Yiran got out of the car because of Lin Jinyan's impulsiveness and scolded her all the way.
After returning home for two days, the hard work of kneeling and the shock on the road made everyone lose their energy. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lin Jinyan heard that the prince was reprimanded in front of the palace because of the bandit incident. Lin Jinyan's eyes were far-reaching.
She knew that Chu Chengyao would not only benefit from his actions. When she saw the red mark on the thief's hand, she knew that the thief was arranged by Chu Chengyao.
Not only did he want to save the lives of the Lin and Gu family, he also wanted to use this matter to give the prince a reputation for being unfavorable in his work.
What a good plan!
Lin Jinyan's desperate efforts to protect her not only won Lin Yanqing's praise, but also made the old lady love Lin Jinyan even more. Not only did she reward her with a bunch of valuable items, but she readily agreed to anything Lin Jinyan asked as long as there was no danger.
When the carriage from the General's Mansion came to pick up Lin Jinyan, Lin Jinyan took Bai Zhi out of the house without any obstruction.
A month later, Lin Jinyan met An Zhixian again in the general's mansion.
After greeting each other and taking their seats, Lin Jinyan smiled in surprise when she saw the woman next to An Zhixian.
"Hero, we meet again."
Gu Yichen: "Yan'er has met Miss Hong Jiu?"
"A few days ago, Yan'er encountered a poisonous snake at Fanyin Temple. She was the one who saved me. Is the heroine's original surname Hong?"
Hong Jiu turned to An Zhixian with his peripheral vision, rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers sheepishly, and made a faint nasal sound.
"Um."
Gu Yichen smiled and said: "It turns out that there is still this connection. Miss Xie Hongjiu rescued Yan'er. In the future, Yan'er will be protected by the girl, so we can rest assured."
Hong Jiu looked at Lin Jinyan, blinked twice, pointed at Lin Jinyan and asked Gu Yichen.
"Is this the sister you are talking about? Am I going to follow this kid from now on?"
"Yes, Yan'er is my aunt's daughter, so naturally she is my sister."
Bai Yiran smiled and said: "Miss Hong Jiu, although my Yan'er is young, she is really precocious. It's just that this child has been in many troubles recently, so I found a girl to protect her."
Hong Jiu looked impatient: "Zao Hui is also a child, and I can't bring up a child."
An Zhixian said in a calm tone: "It's rare to find a safe job for you. If you don't like it, I won't care. You can go and find trouble yourself."
Upon hearing this, Hong Jiu put away his impatient expression and stood up with a tangled look on his face.
