Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Life-saving Grace_1

Hearing this, it must have been that duck-voiced boy who gave it. This brat’s way of speaking is just too inappropriate, and it’s obvious the boy servant didn’t quite convey the original message, which must have been even more offensive.

Although that brat is annoying, his concern for the families of fallen soldiers is genuine. Moreover, he inadvertently ended up saving me.

Qian Yixiu accepted the silver, shamelessly wiping away her tears, and said, “Thank you, young master, and thank you to your son for saving our lives. Please, be a good Samaritan to the end, and help us all the way through. I’m afraid those two bad men will come back to rob me as soon as you leave. Boo hoo, I don’t want to perform in operas, I don’t want to be an actor.”

Liang Gao thought it over and agreed. It was very likely that once he left, those two villains would come back to steal the child. Since the young master had specifically sent him to give money, it meant he intended to help this family. Moreover, his own father had died following the Master Duke into battle, so he felt an extra measure of pity for such families. He said, “Then follow me back, and I’ll speak to my young master to see if we can arrange for a carriage to take you some of the way.”

They returned to the side gate of the Zhang family, where Liang Jinzhao and the others had already spotted their trouble from the Moon-viewing Pavilion and hurried out, meeting them right at the entrance.

After hearing what Liang Gao had said, the group of young men was filled with righteous indignation. Song Huaijin clapped his hands and cursed, “This is outrageous, to dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight.”

Zhang Yang said, “The Red Cloud Troupe relies on Hua Wuxin, their star adorned with the red plaque, who is favoured by Sir Jin, and they are quite arrogant. If Liang Gao hadn’t followed, the child would surely have suffered.”

Liang Jinzhao saw the little girl in the carry basket crying so hard her small face looked like a painted cat, her hair disheveled, big eyes both red and swollen, still hiccupping non-stop, obviously terrified.

Thinking about her account of being bullied and injured alongside her mother that morning, his heart felt a sour twinge. It seems that the greatest hardships for the little one were not only hunger, but also the constant threat of being bullied by vile people.

In recent years, the borders of Daqian have not been very peaceful, with thousands of soldiers dying. Especially the relatives of the missing personnel, who haven’t received any explanations or solace from the Imperial Court, which is unfair to those who died for Daqian but whose remains have vanished without a trace. Now that he had witnessed this, he could not sit idly by. When he returned to the capital, he would speak to his grandfather and father about this matter, to see if they could find a way to provide some relief.

He realized that he had been too narrow-minded and presumptuous before.

Liang Jinzhao said to Zhang Yang, “Cousin, do you think you could arrange for someone to send them?” He and Song Huaijin were cousins, and Zhang Yang’s mother, Lady Song, was a distant relative of the Song family.

“Of course,” Zhang Yang responded, turning to instruct his boy servant to call for a carriage.

Lady Wu of course was full of thanks. Qian Yixiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Thank you all for saving our lives.”

Soon enough, a carriage arrived, and they all boarded it.

What they didn’t know was that the two men had not gone far and were still hiding at a distance, watching. Seeing that the young masters of the Zhang family and the two other well-dressed young lords had actually sent them on their way in a carriage, it seemed they indeed had a deep connection with the Zhang family, so they no longer dared to consider their harmful intentions, and went back to report to their master.

The carriage was much faster, and in half an hour, they arrived at the Northside of Huaxi Village. Lady Wu invited the coachman to come inside for a rest, but he shook his head and drove straight back to the county town. They all hurried home anxiously. Although their purse now contained a considerable amount of silver, the earlier excitement was gone, replaced by fear.

Just as they reached the west end of the village, they saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing at the other end of the wasteland, looking expectantly—it was Cheng Yue and Qian Yixiu.

Cheng Yue usually didn’t leave the house, so could there have been some troubles at home? Lady Wu and the rest started to panic again and hastened their pace toward their home.

The two figures also spotted them and ran toward them, with Cheng Yue’s voice choking up as she called out “Yixiu.”

Qian Yeejin’s voice was much louder as he shouted, “Mom worried about Sister, cried all afternoon, and no matter how we persuaded her, she wouldn’t stop.”

Qian Yixiu had never been away from Cheng Yue for such a long time before. Even when she went out, it would only be for an hour before she returned home. She had visited Qian’s Main Courtyard during festivals and holidays but always went straight home after meals. Unlike Qian Yeejin, who was outdoors every day, Cheng Yue was used to it as long as he came back to sleep at night.

When her daughter didn’t return by noon, Cheng Yue began to worry. Qian Sangui and Qian Yeejin persuaded her to eat at least half a bowl of rice. By the afternoon, when her daughter still hadn’t come back, she was frightened to tears, insisting on waiting outside the door. Qian Sangui, fearing that some rogue men might harass his daughter-in-law, had no choice but to take a small stool and sit at the entrance to watch over her.

Several people passed by and couldn’t help but take a few extra glances when they saw Cheng Yue standing outside. Qian Sangui coughed lightly, and people tactfully looked away.

Cheng Yue hugged her daughter who ran over and sobbed, “Yixiu, you’ve come back. Mom was afraid, afraid you’d be like Brother Jiang, once you leave home you wouldn’t return.” The often inarticulate mother expressed her longing most vividly.

Qian Yixiu’s nose also felt sour as she hugged Cheng Yue’s neck, using her little hand to wipe away her tears while saying, “Yixiu won’t bear to leave her mother, I won’t be absent from home.” After speaking, she kissed her.

Qian Yixiu had wanted to kiss her mother for a long time but never dared, fearing she might startle her beauty. After the afternoon’s scare, though she felt her mother’s embrace was not very secure, she felt warm inside it. Overwhelmed by emotion, she kissed her.

Cheng Yue was startled, her cheeks as red as flowers under the spring sun. She hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, “Brother Jiang once said, aside from him, no one is allowed to kiss Yueyue, or he would get angry. Yixiu can only kiss this once, you cannot do it again.”

This silly mother!

Qian Yixiu pouted and said, “Daddy meant outsiders, I am your daughter, you gave birth to me, I even drank your milk, what’s wrong with a kiss?”

Cheng Yue felt that made sense and with a smiling face, kissed her daughter’s cheek. Getting a response from her mother, Qian Yixiu leaned in for another fragrant kiss.

As they were being affectionate, Qian Yeejin couldn’t stand it, his face red with urgency and his eyes bulging like a bull’s. Holding onto Cheng Yue’s waist, he urgently said, “Mom and Sister are kissing back and forth, why am I left out? I am Mom’s son, I also want a kiss!” By the end, his voice carried a hint of crying.

Cheng Yue couldn’t bear to see her son anxious and, letting go of her daughter, she bent down and kissed her son’s cheek. Qian Yeejin then pursed his lips and smiled, kissed Cheng Yue back, and then glanced sideways at Qian Yixiu.

Qian Yixiu chuckled evilly, “Bad Auntie has wanted to kiss you for a long time, and you brought it on yourself.” She then kissed the little boy with gusto, the sound echoing far off. After the little boy returned the kiss, she climbed onto her older brother’s back using all fours, “Yixiu is tired.”

Qian Yeejin, full of energy, carried his sister on his back.

The parties involved acted as if nothing happened, while Lady Wu and Qian Manxia blushed like two big red shrimps.

Once home and the door was shut, the family proceeded to the main hall.

Qian Sangui saw the reddened faces and tears on Lady Wu and the others, he exclaimed in surprise, “What’s wrong, didn’t flower selling go well?”
