Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband
Chapter 138 Provocation
She looked so heroic and her moves were so decisive and sharp. Although she was a girl, she was no less capable than a man!
For a moment, these women couldn't help but feel some waves in their hearts.
Therefore, at this moment, no matter what Gu Qinlan said, they had no intention of refutation.
The group supported each other and moved forward. Fortunately, the rain covered their tracks.
Soon, everyone arrived at the cave that Gu Qinlan mentioned.
Although the cave is not spacious, it is large enough to accommodate more than a dozen women.
They were all soaked at this point, and they struggled to find some dry firewood. After lighting it, they sat together, drying their clothes and keeping warm.
After Gu Qinlan settled everyone down, he turned to Wocan and said:
"You must hurry back to report the news as soon as possible, and be careful on the way."
Wocan nodded in agreement, but then frowned and asked:
"Who should I go to then?"
The issue of eye bags made Gu Qinlan and Princess Lao Duan fall into deep thought.
If we were looking for an ordinary person, we would probably be powerless to resist those bandits!
But if we request troops from the suburban barracks, this is not against the rules. Without the emperor's order, who would dare to mobilize troops easily?
After hearing this, Princess Lao Duan thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Perhaps we can ask Jingzhao Yin for help?"
Gu Qinlan shook her head decisively and said, "No, the situation in the court is unpredictable and the fight for the throne is getting more intense. We don't know whether Jingzhao Yin has been assigned, let alone whether the forces behind him are in cahoots with those people."
"So what should we do... This is a really tricky question."
Gu Qinlan looked at the sorrow on the face of Princess Lao Duan, and familiar faces flashed through her mind. In an instant, as if a flash of inspiration came to her, she said resolutely:
"Go ask Madam Dou for help!"
"Madam Dou? Isn't she the wife of the Minister of Revenue? Although they are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, they don't have military power..."
Princess Lao Duan was slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as she stared at Gu Qinlan.
Gu Qinlan smiled indifferently. Dongfang Hongye might be powerless to save the situation, but her background was extraordinary!
She then gave clear instructions to the eye bags:
"Immediately tell Sister Dongfang the exact situation here. She will know how to deal with it."
"As ordered!"
Wocan bowed solemnly, turned around and was about to leave.
However, Xiao Wenyin, who had remained silent, finally couldn't help but speak up to stop him:
"She can't leave! She's the only one here who has special skills. If she leaves, how will we deal with those criminals who come to kill us? Sister, how can you put your cousin in danger?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Wenyin.
Princess Lao Duan's eyes revealed deep disappointment. She looked at Xiao Wenyin, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she just sighed deeply.
Gu Qinlan seemed not to have heard it. Her eyes swept towards Wokan. Wokan no longer hesitated. Her figure flashed and disappeared from her sight.
Seeing Wocan leaving, Xiao Wenyin stood up excitedly and asked loudly:
"Gu Qinlan! Are you trying to kill us? We managed to escape with great difficulty! Do you want us to die with you?"
"If those villains really come to our door, how can you protect all of us by yourself?"
Gu Qinlan glanced at Xiao Wenyin, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and asked coldly:
"I saved your life, what qualifications do you have to question me?"
"Besides...protect you? Why should I protect you?"
"These sisters have no blood relationship with their mother, but they are willing to risk their lives to protect her, because they understand that they are not only protecting their mother, but also the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country on the battlefield!"
Gu Qinlan came here and looked Xiao Wenyin up and down, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, but his tone was extremely cold:
"Mother raised you with great difficulty, but you raised an ungrateful daughter? You don't know how to be grateful, but repay kindness with hatred! Xiao Wenyin, I thought you were different, but now it seems... hum..."
When Princess Lao Duan heard what Gu Qinlan said, her eyes turned bloodshot and tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.
Whenever she recalled Xiao Wenyin's betrayal without hesitation, Princess Lao Duan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife!
At this moment, the girls felt their blood boiling when they heard Gu Qinlan praising them!
They immediately started to mock Xiao Wenyin:
"Princess Duan risked her life to save us. If thieves really attack us, we would rather sacrifice our lives for Princess Duan and the old Princess Duan than have them come to rescue us!"
"Exactly! Just take care of your own safety and don't drag us down!"
"Although we are, we also have the ambition to serve our country! How can we be compared with an ungrateful person like you?"
"Do you think that after that girl with eye bags left, we will have no one to protect us? Why don't you try to climb that cliff and deliver the message?"
Faced with Gu Qinlan's questioning and the sharp sarcasm from everyone, Xiao Wenyin's originally resolute face suddenly revealed a hint of hesitation and guilt.
She secretly glanced at Princess Lao Duan's expression and secretly cursed herself for being too impulsive. Otherwise, how could she have caused Princess Lao Duan to be disappointed in her?
Xiao Wenyin bit her lip, walked pitifully to the old Princess Duan, knelt down, and explained with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, Wenyin really didn't do it on purpose. Wenyin was just scared and lost her mind at that time..."
"Cousin, you know me best. How could I bear to hurt you? Woo woo woo! Cousin, please don't be angry... Can you forgive Wen Yin?"
"Wenyin's mother has passed away. Now in this world, you, my cousin, are the only one who can support Wenyin! If you abandon Wenyin, she will be helpless and will have a hard time surviving... wuwuwu..."
Xiao Wenyin knelt on the cold ground, sobbing with tears in her eyes.
The girl in green couldn't help but sneer:
"Since you don't know how to live, you should at least know how to end your life, right? Is there anything easier than death in this world?"
Xiao Wenyin was choked speechless by the words of the girl in green. Tears welled up in her eyes but she didn't know where to let them go. At that moment, her face was frozen in an awkward and funny stalemate.
When the women around heard this, they couldn't help but laugh softly.
"You are so mean! You...cousin..." Xiao Wenyin looked at Princess Lao Duan with a feeling of grievance.
The girl in green rolled her eyes at Xiao Wenyin with disdain, hugged Princess Lao Duan's arm intimately, and imitated Xiao Wenyin's tone, saying coquettishly:
"Princess Duan, this sister is too much, isn't she? She even bites back. You have to do justice for a little girl like me~"
Gu Qinlan glanced at the girl in green and caught the cunning light in her eyes and her obvious provocation towards Xiao Wenyin. She couldn't help but smile knowingly and then turned her head slightly.
Princess Lao Duan gently patted the green-dressed girl beside her, a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, and then turned to Xiao Wenyin, her face serious and her tone cold, she said:
"Alright, stop crying. You are nothing like your mother. Don't mention her again. She would never be as unreasonable as you are."
