Chapter 1273: Rescue

The corners of Second Master Duan’s mouth twitched. You’re still thinking about eating at this juncture??

He smiled insincerely and said, “I didn’t treat you well. I won’t send you off.”

Gu Yundong nodded seriously. “Indeed, we weren’t treated well.”

Then, she rolled her eyes and turned to leave with Shao Qingyuan.

Second Master Duan was speechless. Don’t let me meet you again.

Dou Fukang also wanted to leave, but given the situation in front of him, it would be a little suspicious if he left with them.

He turned to look at the ruins in front of him and exhaled. Was it done by the eldest daughter of the Duan family?

It was indeed Duan Wan who started the fire.

It was just that she had listened to Gu Yundong’s suggestion.

After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Duan family and was very familiar with the structure of the Duan residence. People rarely used the guest rooms here. Even if she set a fire, she would not hurt anyone. As long as the fire was dealt with in time, it would not burn down the surrounding houses.

Therefore, after she sneaked here, she even found some tung oil and sprinkled it around before lighting a fire.

While everyone was busy putting out the fire, she quickly ran to the house where Zhilan and Huilan were locked up.

Originally, there were old maids and guards outside the house, but because of Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan’s commotion, the guards left.

And because of the sound of the fire, one of the two old women also left.

Duan Wan hit the other old woman’s head with a stick when she wasn’t paying attention and knocked her out before she flashed into the house.

Zhilan had already fainted from the fever. Huilan was still fine. Although she was also injured, she could still take care of Zhilan.

Huilan almost cried when she saw Duan Wan.

Then, Duan Wan carefully supported Zhilan and left the house with Huilan to the back door.

Halfway through, Tong Shuitao came to pick them up.

Duan Wan let out a sigh of relief.

At the back door, Duan Wan saw that the two people guarding the door had fainted, so they hurriedly left the Duan Mansion.

A carriage was parked in an alley not far from the Duan residence. After Tong Shuitao helped them up, she returned to the Duan residence and quietly returned to Gu Yundong’s side.

Soon after, Gu Yundong and the others bade farewell and walked out of the Duan residence.

It was not until they were out of the door that Gu Yundong asked, “Have you brought them out?”

“Don’t worry, Miss. I’ve brought them all out. They’re in the carriage.” As Tong Shuitao led them into the alley, she said, “I’ve also handed Miss Duan the fever medicine you gave me.”

As they spoke, the group of people had already walked to the front of the carriage.

Hearing the commotion, Duan Wan lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. When she saw that it was Gu Yundong, she was immediately delighted. “Yundong.”

Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao got into the carriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got in, Huilan, who was still awake, kowtowed to her three times. “Thank you, Miss. Thank you for saving our Miss.”

It seemed that Duan Wan had already told her everything.

Gu Yundong waved her hand. “Let’s not talk about this for now. You’re all injured. It’s more important to treat your illnesses first.”

As they spoke, the carriage began to move.

The carriage drove all the way to Gu Yundong’s grocery store.

Finally, they stopped at the back door of the provision store. Shao Wen got out of the car and knocked. Uncle Yu hurriedly opened the door and was stunned to see them.

It wasn’t until he saw Tong Shuitao carrying an injured girl down that he suddenly understood and said softly, “Come in first.”
