The Farmer’s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 1278: Hopeless Heir

“What’s strange?” Duan Wan asked.

Dou Fukang frowned and said in a low voice, “He was chased by someone and fell into the river. At that time, the guard with him searched along the river for two days but could not find him. We don’t know where he was carried to. When our people found him, he was still unconscious.”

Later on, the guard asked Duan Qian’s servant to return to the Duan residence to report. He originally wanted to see Second Master Duan quickly send someone to look for the Eldest Young Master. Unexpectedly, Second Master Duan could not wait for Duan Qian to never return and die outside.

The servant was not by Duan Qian’s side when he disappeared, so he did not know the reason for his disappearance. The guard felt that something was amiss, so he did not tell him the details.

It was only when General Dou’s men ran to the Qing’an Prefecture and found the guard that they found out that Duan Qian was being hunted.

“Why was my brother chased in Qing’an Prefecture? Did he offend someone in Qing’an Prefecture?” Duan Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word ‘chase’.

Dou Fukang said, “The strangest thing is that when Duan Qian went to the Qing’an Prefecture, he only discussed business with others and did not touch anyone’s interests. The merchant who made a deal with him was also very satisfied with the cooperation plan Duan Qian gave him. He was the most anxious one when Duan Qian disappeared. That group of people seemed to have suddenly appeared, as if they had a deep hatred for Duan Qian.”

Shao Qingyuan asked, “Could it be an enemy from Wanqing Prefecture?”

“That’s unlikely. Duan Qian’s journey to the Qing’an Prefecture was very secretive. Even Second Master Duan didn’t know. If not for that servant coming back to report, he probably wouldn’t know that Duan Qian had actually gone so far. Moreover, if anyone wanted to kill Duan Qian, it’s most suitable to do it on the way to the Qing’an Prefecture. There’s no reason to let him reach the prefectural city safely before doing it.”

Duan Wan nodded. “That’s right. My brother only told me about the trip to Qing’an Prefecture. He also told me not to tell anyone. I didn’t even tell Zhilan or Huilan.”

In that case, there was indeed a problem.

Who did Duan Qian offend to want him dead?

“Let’s talk about this when Duan Qian comes back. Even if he doesn’t know everything, he should have a clue.” Gu Yundong said, “Is he back now?”

Dou Fukang nodded. “He’s already on his way back. He’ll arrive at the prefectural city in a few days.”

Duan Wan immediately clasped her hands together and murmured with her eyes closed, “Fortunately, Eldest Brother is still alive. He is still alive.”

These days, she had been on tenterhooks. Every night, she could not sleep. Once she fell asleep, she would have nightmares, afraid that she would never see her brother again.

However, she could only stay in the backyard of the grocery store. Even if she wanted to leave the city and go to the temple to pray for Buddha’s blessing, she could not.

Now that she heard the good news, Duan Wan was sincerely grateful to the heavens and the Dou Family.

However, there was still a problem.

“Where will Duan Qian stay after he returns?” Gu Yundong asked. “According to you, he’s still injured and needs to recuperate. It’s not appropriate to send him back to the Duan residence. We have to find a place to settle down. We can’t let Second Master Duan know.”

“Don’t worry about that. Father and I have already discussed it. When the time comes, we will directly get the guards to escort him to the General’s Residence. There will be a doctor in the residence who can treat his injuries. After he recovers, he can decide whether to stay or leave.”

In short, the father and son of the Dou Family could not wait for Duan Qian to recover and take over the Duan Family as soon as possible. Second Master Duan was simply a hopeless heir.
