Chapter 675 My Teeth!
Chapter 675 My Teeth!
Gu Qianhan listened to Xiao Qingyuan's angry roar without any fluctuation in his expression. He carried Shen Wantang into the carriage and then walked in front of Xiao Qingyuan.
Xiao Qingyuan looked at him, who was emitting a cold and sharp aura, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but unfortunately his legs and feet were tied up and he couldn't move.
"Gu Qianhan, let me go immediately! I can let this matter go!"
"Xiao Qingyuan, but I want to settle things with you."
As Gu Qianhan spoke, he raised his hand and punched Xiao Qingyuan in the face.
Xiao Qingyuan cried out in pain, feeling as if half of his face was beaten so badly that it looked like it was no longer his own.
His mouth was filled with the taste of blood. He licked the roots of his teeth, and a tooth fell out.
"My teeth! Gu Qianhan, you're looking for death!"
"How dare you say I'm looking for death? Aren't you the one looking for death? I haven't even settled the score with you about the wedding robbery, and now you're taking advantage of the wedding day to try to steal my wife. Do you think I'm dead?!"
Gu Qianhan's voice was cold, and his hand pressed against Xiao Qingyuan's ribs.
As he exerted force, Xiao Qingyuan's screams resounded throughout the street, waking up countless birds sleeping in the trees.
"If you wanted to rob Atang, I could forgive you this time. But, since you wanted to rob her, why didn't you protect her? Why did you let her get so badly injured? And why didn't you find a doctor for her?"
Gu Qianhan's eyes became redder and redder: "You keep saying you like her, but in fact, you want her to die!"
"I didn't! I bought her medicine! I feel even more sorry for Tang'er's injury than you do. I've even made plans to die for her! Can you die for her? Can you?!"
"What she needs is not suicide for love, what she needs is to live well! Suicide for love does not mean loving her, suicide for love is just your most cowardly escape!"
"You're talking nonsense! You're the coward, not me! You don't love Tang'er, you're not worthy of marrying her!"
"You should be thankful that your last name is Xiao, and that someone is protecting a fool like you. Otherwise, I would have killed you today! However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Just wait, I will make you taste the same punishment you made Atang suffer."
After Gu Qianhan finished speaking, he turned around, got on the carriage, and left with his men.
Xiao Qingyuan was left alone there.
The ropes on his body were tied very tightly and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. Fortunately, someone passed by and found him, went home to get a knife, and then cut the ropes for him.
He endured the pain and returned to the yard, only to find that his guards and Mo Ji were all knocked unconscious and tied together.
"A bunch of trash!"
Xiao Qingyuan was so angry that he kicked everyone awake, cursing non-stop: "Your number is obviously almost the same as Gu Qianhan's men, yet you were beaten without any chance to fight back. No wonder father refused to hire more guards. It turns out he knew it would be useless to hire you all one by one!"
The guards all looked pale, and no one dared to say a word. After all, today was truly too embarrassing.
As guards, they failed to protect the prince and were extremely derelict in their duty. They will be punished when they return.
But they didn't know why there was such a huge gap in strength between them and Gu Qianhan's men. They were defeated in one encounter. They clearly had been training every day.

Shen Wantang has settled down in a farm on the outskirts of the city.
Nanny Yan, Du Juan, and Qin Xin were also brought to the farm by Gu Qianhan's men so that they could serve her closely.
The three people were shocked when they saw Shen Wantang covered in blood.
Du Juan was so frightened that she almost cried. She knelt down and subconsciously called out her old name, "Miss, it was all my fault for not protecting you. You asked me to ask Santu to find out what was going on in the Shen Mansion, but I didn't find out about the secret passage or Master Xiao's conspiracy. It was all because of my incompetence that you got so badly injured. You've never bled so much since you were a child!"
Shen Wantang lived under the care of her stepmother, Qi. Although life was very difficult, Qi always used underhanded tactics and would never beat or scold Shen Wantang openly, so Shen Wantang had never suffered such serious injuries.
Her face was as pale as a ghost, but she still smiled. "It's okay, I won't die. This blood is just scary, but it's not fatal. You don't have to blame yourself. Santu didn't get any information. It's very likely that he was controlled by the Qi family and Xiao Qingyuan, and he couldn't protect himself."
Seeing Dujuan still crying, Nanny Yan pulled her up and said, "Alright, now is not the time to cry. Hurry up and help the young lady bathe and change her clothes so that she can rest earlier."
Dujuan quickly wiped her tears and went with Qinxin to prepare hot water and clothes.
Nanny Yan stepped forward and touched Shen Wantang's forehead, finding it a little hot. "Young Madam, I'm afraid you've started to have a high fever. I've heard that you're quite skilled in medicine. Would you mind taking her pulse and prescribing some medicine?"
Shen Wantang knew her own condition. It was normal to have a high fever. She didn't need to take her pulse. She just said the names of several medicinal herbs and asked Nanny Yan to send someone to get the medicine.
"Young Madam, would you like something to eat? I found out when I came here. This farm has everything you need: fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fish, shrimp, crabs, and even a small tea garden. No matter what you want to eat or drink, it can be prepared here. It's even more convenient than when we were at the Duke's Mansion!"
Shen Wantang was quite happy to hear that there were so many things here, but she really had no appetite at the moment: "I can't eat anything. Let's wait until tomorrow. When my headache is less severe, we'll go see what the fruits and vegetables look like and pick some to cook."
Nanny Yan responded and walked out.
With the help of Dujuan and Qinxin, Shen Wantang washed her body and changed into dry and soft clothes.
Her medicine was just ready, and Nanny Yan came in with the medicine, followed by a maid from the farm. The maid brought fragrant millet porridge and some refreshing side dishes.
Nanny Yan said, "Young Madam, when I went to the kitchen, I saw that the porridge and dishes made by this old woman were very good. Would you like to try them? It won't hurt your body to eat something to fill your stomach before taking the medicine."
Shen Wantang didn't want to eat at first, but when she smelled the fragrant yellow millet porridge, she nodded and said, "Then let's try it!"
Gu Qianhan came in at this time. He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes.
Hearing Shen Wantang say that he wanted to try it, he felt a little relieved: "Want to eat something?"
Shen Wantang leaned on the large pillow and looked at him: "This millet porridge smells delicious, have you tried it?"
Gu Qianhan looked at the old woman and said, "Go get another bowl. I'll drink it with Madam."
"Hey! Sir, wait a moment, I'll get it right away!"
Gu Qianhan strode forward, picked up the millet porridge and sat next to Shen Wantang, wanting to feed her personally.
