The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket
Chapter 1237: Duan Wan's DecisionChapter 1237: Duan Wan’s Decision
Duan Wan took a deep breath. “Second Aunt drugged me when I wasn’t paying attention. She wanted me to have a good relationship with Old Master Zheng in the city. Old Master Zheng is already in his thirties and has many wives and concubines in the family. If I marry into the Zheng family, I will fall into a fire pit. Fortunately, a servant girl by Second Aunt’s side once received my brother’s help and was grateful to him, so she secretly told my maids.”
Unfortunately, the message was sent too late. By the time Duan Wan’s maids knew about this, Duan Wan had already been drugged.
Her two maidservants were loyal. One of them stalled for time while the other carried her out of the Duan family.
Tong Shuitao asked, “What about your maidservant?”
Duan Wan shook her head. “I don’t know. Someone was chasing us. I don’t know if they’re Second Uncle’s men or the Zheng family’s men. In order to let me escape, Zhilan used herself as bait to lure them away. Now…”
Gu Yundong patted her. “So when you saw the convoy going to Qing’an Prefecture, you might as well follow them and see if you could find Duan Qian?”
“Um.” Duan Wan nodded.
Gu Yundong lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. It was impossible for her to change direction and go to Qing’an Prefecture now.
Putting aside the fact that most of the people who were investigating Duan Wan had gone to Qing’an Prefecture to look for her, just Duan Qian’s disappearance was very strange.
It was not wise for her to go over rashly.
Hence, she said to Duan Wan, “We’re going to Wanqing Prefecture now. If you trust me, follow us there. Your brother is a capable person. It’s impossible for him to disappear for no reason. You might not be able to find him even if you go to Qing’an Prefecture. You might even put yourself in danger. Of course, if you insist, I won’t stop you. When we reach the next town, I’ll help you find a reliable and suitable escort agency to bring you to Qing’an Prefecture.”
Duan Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
She did not know if she would go to Qing’an Prefecture.
Duan Wan had also been on a long trip, and she had even been to the capital. However, that was all under the protection of her eldest brother, with maidservants and guards by her side. She did not have to worry about anything when she went out and only had to eat and drink.
This was the first and only time she left Wanqing Prefecture alone. In just three days, it felt like three years had passed. There were a few times when she felt like she was going to die and would never see her brother again.
If not for the fact that she did not believe that something had happened to her brother, she might have collapsed long ago.
Now…
Duan Wan’s head was getting heavier. She looked at Gu Yundong and recalled what her eldest brother had said.
After a while, she finally said in a low voice, “I… will return to Wanqing Prefecture and wait for Big Brother’s news.”
“Okay, we’ll take you back.”
Duan Wan forced out a smile and let out a sigh of relief, finally collapsing.
Gu Yundong took a pillow for her as a cushion. Seeing her half-closed eyes, she said softly, “Go to sleep.”
“Thank you.” Duan Wan closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Gu Yundong took off her jacket and covered her with a blanket. Then, she sat at the side and pondered.
When Duan Wan woke up again, the carriage had already entered a county under Wanqing Prefecture.
Gu Yundong turned her head and glanced at her. “You’re awake? Your fever is almost gone, but you probably don’t have much strength left in your body. After dinner at the inn, take your medicine again and sleep tomorrow. You’ll be fine.”
Duan Wan nodded and looked at the scenery outside.
