Chapter 1348 Should I just sit back and do nothing?
Chai Yan said extremely seriously: "Miss Gan, do you know that the miracle doctor from Muyue Kingdom invited by your elder brother is planning to do this?"
Gan Mengxian was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Chai Yan then told Gan Feng that he had ordered people to catch Xiaosu and offer sacrifices to the Haoyue God. Gan Mengxian was stunned for a long time and could not speak for a long time.
Chai Yan said seriously: "Miss Gan, everything I said is true. The child needed by Muyue Kingdom's miracle doctor has been rescued by us today. Later we heard that you didn't know about it, so I thought,
It is necessary to tell Miss Gan the truth about the matter."
"Impossible, I don't believe it, absolutely impossible." Gan Mengxian shook her head vigorously, not wanting to believe what Chai Yan said.
Jimo Qiao said hurriedly: "Sister Gan, we did not lie to you, it is true. Please believe us."
Gan Mengxian continued to shake her head. She really couldn't accept this fact for a moment. In her eyes, Brother Feng was kind and upright, and he was wholeheartedly good to his father and herself. How could he do such a cruel thing?
Jimo Qiao said again: "Sister Gan, if you don't believe it, you can go see the child tomorrow and ask him personally what's going on."
"No, no, no, you are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense!" Gan Mengxian was confused and at a loss.
Chai Yan's tone became colder and he said seriously: "Miss Gan, do you think the two of us came to see you in the middle of the night just to talk nonsense with you? Please think carefully, what is the benefit of doing this to us? If you don't see
That child is pitiful and helpless, I really won’t meddle in such nosy matters.”
After saying this, Chai Yan became quiet. Jimo Qiao wanted to persuade, but Chai Yan stopped him. Chai Yan meant that Gan Mengxian should think about it seriously.
In the dimly lit room, Gan Meng was thinking quietly. Although he said he didn't believe it, deep down in her heart, she actually didn't believe it anymore.
Gan Mengxian grew up in Jizhou, so she naturally knew that in the past, the Muyue Kingdom had the custom of using their children to worship the Haoyue God. This was not a secret at all in Jiezhou. However, the Muyue Kingdom later issued a decree to explicitly abolish this custom, and after so many years,
, the world also began to gradually forget it.
While Gan Mengxian was thinking silently, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the corridor outside the house.
"Shh." Chai Yan quickly made a silent gesture to Jimo Qiao, and the two of them became alert at the same time.
At the same time, both of their eyes also fell on Gan Mengxian, vaguely worried that she would suddenly shout and attract the attention of people outside.
But then the footsteps on the corridor continued from one end to the other. The whole process was neither fast nor slow. Gan Mengxian remained quiet the whole time.
It wasn't until the footsteps disappeared that Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were relieved. Gan Mengxian remained silent for such a long time. It seemed that she might have believed it.
The two of them didn't know that Gan Mengxian actually had the idea and impulse to shout just now, but she was constantly struggling and hesitating in her heart, and finally chose to be quiet.
After the quiet outside returned, Gan Mengxian asked in a low voice: "Where is that child now?"
"In a very safe place." Chai Yan said seriously.
Gan Mengxian said: "I have to see him, I have to ask him in person."
Chai Yan immediately said: "No problem, as long as Miss Gan's time is convenient."
Gan Mengxian thought for a while and said: "Well, before noon tomorrow, you bring the child to see me at the Huai'an Teahouse in the west of the city."
Chai Yan nodded and said: "No problem, Huai'an Teahouse in the west of the city, before noon."
At this time, Jimo Qiao couldn't help but ask: "Sister Gan, what are you going to do after you figure out the truth of the matter?"
Gan Mengxian wanted to say something, but suddenly paused when she opened her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Chai Yan said: "Xiao Qiao, Miss Gan must have her own plans for this matter. Let Miss Gan think about it carefully now, and we shouldn't be too anxious."
Jimo Qiao could only nodded and said nothing.
Later, Chai Yan asked: "Miss Gan, has Mr. Gan's condition gotten better recently?"
Gan Mengxian sighed and said: "It's still the same. I wake up less often and fall asleep more often."
Speaking of this, Gan Mengxian then said: "By the way, when my father woke up before, I asked him and he was indeed familiar with Lord Jimo..."
Jimo Qiao immediately sat up straight and said anxiously: "Sister Gan, I am really Jimoshu's daughter. I swear I didn't lie to you. I really accidentally lost the letter written by my father."
Gan Mengxian asked in confusion: "But Miss Jimo, before you come to Jiezhou, you should have informed us in advance, so that we can be prepared if we know about it?"
Jimo Qiao said: "Sister Gan, please listen to me explain to you. In fact, I don't want to do this..."
Then, Jimo Qiao explained to Gan Mengxian the reason why he came to Jiezhou. The reason for not notifying him in advance was because the incident happened suddenly.
Gan Mengxian nodded to express her understanding: "I understand, Miss Jimo, is that why you pretended to be a Taoist nun?"
"Yes, yes, that's why, you have to be low-key, low-key!" Jimo Qiao borrowed Chai Yan's words.
Time passed little by little, and Chai Yan sat beside him and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
It wasn't until he felt that everything that needed to be talked about was almost done, then he found a gap and said: "Xiao Qiao, it's already late at night, we should go back."
Jimo Qiao nodded immediately and said to Gan Mengxian: "Sister Gan, let's leave first and won't disturb your rest."
"Yeah." Gan Mengxian responded softly.
Chai Yan stood up and held up his hands: "Excuse me, Miss Gan."
After saying that, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao left Gan Mengxian's room through the window through which they came in.
The next moment, silence returned to the room.
At this moment, Gan Mengxian was completely sleepless. After watching Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao leave, she closed the window and walked slowly back to the bed to sit down and began to think quietly...
outdoor.
After Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao came out of the room, they successfully avoided the guards who were patrolling the house at night. They returned along the way they came, climbed over the courtyard wall and left Gan's house.
On the way back, Jimo Qiao couldn't help but said to Chai Yan: "Brother-in-law, I...why am I still a little worried?"
"I know what you are worried about..." Chai Yan said as he walked: "Are you worried that Miss Gan just treated us like snakes, and then tomorrow she will bring people to surround us and try to kidnap the little girl?"
millet?"
These words hit Jimo Qiao's mind, and she immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that's what I'm afraid of."
Chai Yan said with relief: "Don't worry too much, my intuition tells me that Miss Gan is not such a person."
"Then... what if your intuition is wrong?" Jimo Qiao asked with a frown.
Chai Yan said: "Didn't I say that? If the Gan family insists on doing this, I will go to the prefect of Jiezhou and ask him to investigate the matter thoroughly! This is Jiezhou and Shengguo, not Muyueguo, where children are sacrificed.
We will not agree to evil deeds!"
Jimo Qiao said: "In that case, wouldn't your whereabouts be exposed?"
"There is no way. Should I just sit back and do nothing when life and death are at stake? Even if I can, can you?" Chai Yan asked.
Jimo Qiao grinned, shook his head and said, "No! Hehe..."
