Chapter 234: Shao Huan, General of the Northern Wing Cavalry
It was almost dawn when Ye Tang and the other returned to Qiao Xuelin's room.
Qiao Xuelin lost too much blood and fainted. Wang Chun'e pinched him, leaving purple marks and scratches from her fingernails. There was no intact skin on Qiao Xuelin's body or face.
Ye Tang smiled at Wang Chun'e and said, "You are great. You didn't kill him when you had such a good opportunity. You are a patient person."
Wang Chun'e: "I'm afraid you won't take me out."
Xiao Jingxuan wrote a note, slapped Qiao Xuelin to wake him up, and stuffed the note into his hand: "Listen carefully, the poison in your body will take effect tonight. You can choose not to believe it, but you will know the truth tonight. If you want the antidote, prepare 100,000 taels of gold tonight and take it to the Shili Pavilion outside the city, otherwise you will die!"
After saying that, he knocked Qiao Xuelin unconscious again.
Ye Tang held Wang Chun'e in his arms, and the couple sneaked out of the hot spring villa.
He really came and went without a trace.
The guards of the villa seem powerful, but they are just for show. They are only concerned with patrolling and not looking for anyone. They take the money for nothing and put on a show. The thieves sneak in and go freely without them noticing.
A hint of white appeared at the edge of the field. The sunrise was beautiful, and the light was somewhat warm.
The carriage moved slowly along the path.
Jamel Xiao was sitting outside with Yun Zhen wearing a mask.
Wang Chun'e sat in the carriage and confided her experience to Ye Tang.
She and her husband were not from the capital. They came to the capital to find a famous doctor for their son's medical treatment. After arriving in the capital, they did not have enough money, so her husband started looking for a job. Because of his skills, he was noticed by the Qiao family and was forced to sign a contract to sell himself and enter the hot spring villa.
Once, she ran into her husband on the street, and Qiao Xuelin happened to be there. Qiao Xuelin was attracted by her beauty and threatened her husband to divorce her. Her husband was unwilling, but he guessed that Qiao Xuelin would not give up, so he pretended to go along with Qiao Xuelin, waited for an opportunity to find out the secret of the hot spring villa and drew a topographic map.
She had seen the blueprints and knew the secret of the hot spring villa.
"The topographic map drawn by my husband was confiscated by Qiao Xuelin. He never imagined that although I can't read much, I am good at drawing." Wang Chun'e closed her eyes and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
It was completely light when the carriage arrived at the entrance of a remote small house. Wang Chun'e jumped off the carriage and ran quickly into the house.
"Feng'er!" Wang Chun'e shouted while running.
There was no response from the house.
She ran into a room and dragged a child out from under the bed.
The boy looked to be about five or six years old. His face was pale from not getting any sunlight for years, and his thin body seemed like he was malnourished.
"Feng'er! Wake up!" Wang Chun'e called out while holding the child, but the child did not respond at all.
Ye Tang and Jamel Xiao walked in quickly, and Jamel Xiao took the child from Wang Chun'e: "Give the child to me, I am the doctor!"
Ye Tang pulled Wang Chun'e aside and comforted her: "Don't get excited, we will do our best to save your child."
Jamel Xiao took the child's pulse and found that the child suffered from heart disease. The child fell into a coma due to the attack of heart disease, but fortunately he was still breathing.
"We arrived in time, the child can still be saved!" Xiao Jingxuan took out a silver needle, took off the child's clothes, and inserted six needles into the child's chest.
"Cough cough!"
The child woke up from his coma.
Jamel Xiao fed a pill into his mouth.
"Feng'er!" Wang Chun'e shouted excitedly when she saw the child wake up, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Mom!" Yan Feng heard his mother's call in a daze and uttered a weak cry.
"Hey! Mother is here, mother is back! Feng'er, open your eyes and look at mother!" Wang Chun'e went up and held the child's hand.
Yan Feng opened his eyes tiredly, and saw his mother. He immediately cried in grievance: "Mom, I thought I would never see you again. It hurts so much. I was very obedient and hid. I didn't come out."
Wang Chun'e touched his head, pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, Feng'er is very good, you have done very well, mother said she would come, mother did not break her promise, mother will never be separated from you again in the future."
After a while, Xiao Jingxuan took out the silver needle and put it away. Yan Feng fell asleep. His breathing was even and there was a little color on his face.
When they came outside, Wang Chun'e knelt down in front of Ye Tang and the other man, and Ye Tang helped her up.
"There's no need to express gratitude. We are helping each other. The picture you drew helped us, so it's only natural for us to help you."
Wang Chun'e shook her head: "No, you are my benefactors."
She only helped her benefactors once, but their benefactors helped her a lot. Not only did they save her, they also took her out of the hot spring village and saved her son. How could such a kindness be offset by a topographic map?
"Don't thank me. Let me tell you about your son's condition. He suffers from a heart disease, which has no cure."
Wang Chun'e's face turned pale when she heard this, and she smiled bitterly: "I knew it a long time ago, thank you very much."
"Listen to me. Although his disease cannot be cured, it can be suppressed. As long as he is well taken care of, he will have no problem living to 50 or 60 years old like a normal person."
Wang Chun'e was immediately excited, and her eyes lit up: "Really? Benefactor, can you really save my son?"
She was about to kneel down to Jamel Xiao again.
"As long as you can cure my son, I will do anything you ask me to do."
Ye Tang held her back and said, "Don't kneel down all the time. Stand up and talk properly."
Jamel Xiao said: “I can save your son, and you don’t have to pay for the consultation. You just need to tell us everything you know about the Qiao family.”
Wang Chun'e completely understood that the two people in front of her had a deep grudge against the Qiao family.
The enemy of her enemy is her friend.
"Okay, I'll tell you two benefactors everything I know."
Wang Chun'e's husband is named Yan Zheng. His ancestors were military households. After his father made meritorious service on the battlefield, Yan Zheng's generation was able to leave the military household and live the life of ordinary people.
After Wang Chun'e and his wife got married, they loved each other deeply and gave birth to a son in less than a year. However, when the child was one year old, he fell ill and could not be cured even after long-term treatment.
Later, Yan Zheng was accidentally injured and lost his fertility. The couple could no longer have a second child. Yan Feng was their only hope.
For Yan Feng, they sought medical treatment everywhere. They heard that there were numerous doctors in the capital, and even more with excellent medical skills, so they sold their property and land and came to the capital.
Unexpectedly, the result was that Yan Feng could not be cured and his heart disease was incurable.
So when Wang Chun'e heard Xiao Jingxuan say that he could suppress Yan Feng's illness and allow him to grow up healthily, she was indescribably happy and she had the courage to live.
After Wang Chun'e finished talking about her own family affairs, she started talking about the hot spring villa.
"My husband didn't volunteer to be a guard at the Qiao family. He was forced to do so. Although the Qiao family gave them money generously, they were also very cruel. They would beat and scold the guards at will if they were not happy. My husband was beaten six times in less than three days."
"One or two distinguished guests come to the hot spring villa every day. The Qiao family respects these distinguished guests very much. The identities of these distinguished guests are kept secret. My husband accidentally overheard the name of a distinguished guest."
"what name?"
"Shao Huan!"
Hearing this name, Jamel Xiao was quite surprised.
He knew Shao Huan, who was the cavalry general of Beiyi State. He was also present at the battle of Yulong Mountain. It was he who led the troops to encircle and suppress his parents.
