The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1238: I Owed the Emperor in My Past Life

She had been to this county city before. The previous convoy had stopped here.

However, Duan Wan was too busy hiding at that time, so she naturally didn’t have the mood to look outside.

Now that she looked at it again, she realized that this county city was also very lively.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn. Duan Wan got off the carriage with Tong Shuitao’s help. Her legs were still weak, but she was much better.

The five of them reserved three rooms. Gu Yundong let Duan Wan and Tong Shuitao stay together. Duan Wan did not feel safe now, so it was better to have someone by her side.

The few of them ate dinner in the room. In the afternoon, everyone had hotpot. At night, they cleared their stomachs and ate porridge.

It was just a bowl of ordinary pumpkin porridge in a small county, but to Duan Wan, who had not eaten a mouthful of hot porridge for two days, it was like a delicacy in the world. After swallowing it, the warm feeling surged up in her throat, making her tears fall at once.

After dinner, Duan Wan went to rest.

Gu Yundong lay on the bed and moved to a more comfortable position in Shao Qingyuan’s arms. She then asked, “What do you think about Duan Qian’s disappearance?”

Shao Qingyuan kissed the corner of her mouth and said in a low voice, “You said that although Duan Qian is young, he’s very scheming. His whereabouts are unknown after making a trip to the Qing’an Prefecture. It really doesn’t make sense. He can’t just bring a servant with him.”

Gu Yundong nodded. “I think so too. He’s so young to be in charge of the Duan family. How can he not have anyone protecting him?”

“But Duan Wan’s matter is quite strange.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. “What’s strange?”

“With Duan Qian missing, Second Master Duan couldn’t wait to take over. Actually, it was wise for him to persuade Duan Wan to stand on his side and subdue those managers together. However, he couldn’t wait to marry Duan Wan off. At this juncture, he’s very patient.”

Gu Yundong paused for a moment and immediately nodded. “That’s right. Moreover, he married Duan Wan to a 30-year-old master of the Zheng family who is far less wealthy than the Duan family. If word gets out, the Duan family’s reputation will be completely ruined. Second Master Duan and his wife will also be criticized. It’s indeed very strange.”

Shao Qingyuan saw that she was frowning from thinking so much and couldn’t help but smile. He pinched her chin and said, “No matter what the reason is, since we’re going to Wanqing Prefecture, I don’t think we can get away from this. Not to mention how much Duan Qian took care of our provision store previously, just the Duan family was selected by you and Master Mo to take over the Xin Prefecture and become a big family in Wanqing Prefecture. We can’t avoid it.”

If Wanqing Prefecture fell into the hands of Second Master Duan, with his ability, the entire merchant economy of Wanqing Prefecture might be in chaos.

This was not a good thing for the current emperor. Although the current emperor did not want the Duan family to dominate alone, it was clearly not the time yet.

At the very least, the Duan family was promoted by his people. The Duan family was loyal to the current emperor and could very actively cooperate with the current policies.

If someone else dominated Wanqing Prefecture now, it would be a huge headache for the emperor.

Gu Yundong also thought of this and immediately wailed, “Why do I feel that I owed the emperor in my previous life?”

They had clearly never met, but how many things had Gu Yundong done for him, both openly and secretly?

The problem was that there was no reward…

Just thinking about it made her feel indignant, uncomfortable, unhappy, and wanted to explode.
