Chapter 1325: You’re Simply Trash

“Continue.” Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows.

Yes, if she only found out when she reached the Heding Prefecture, she would indeed not have the chance to tell Shao Qingyuan.

Cui Lan was dizzy from the wind and Gu Yundong’s scare. She could not think of a perfect lie, so she told the truth.

“I saved the life of the grandson of a rich family in the Heding Prefecture. That rich family was very grateful to me and my father. Later on, I accidentally heard him mention Bai Muzi. I thought about how Shao Qingyuan had put in a lot of effort to search for this medicinal herb. That rich family saw that I urgently needed this medicinal herb. In order to repay me for saving his life, the master of the family said that his son in the capital had one. He could write a letter to his son and tell him what had happened. His son would definitely give Bai Muzi to me.”

“Which family in the capital?”

Cui Lan paused for a moment and said, “The Yan family, a tea merchant family in the capital.”

Tea merchants.

“What about the letter?”

“I don’t have it,” Cui Lan replied. “Old Master Yan directly wrote it and sent it to the capital. The Yan family also knows my father’s identity. After we return to the capital, the Yan family will naturally send Bai Muzi to our residence.”

Speaking of this, Cui Lan finally had a hint of smugness on her face.

Look, so what if you know about these things? You still can’t get Bai Muzi.

“You already know. Can you pull me up now?”

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows and suddenly raised her voice. “I’m done asking.”

Cui Lan was stunned. In the next moment, two footsteps came from the deck.

When one of them walked up to her, she finally saw who it was.

Shao Qingyuan??

A look of surprise flashed across Cui Lan’s face. “Shao Qingyuan, you saw it. Your wife wants to kill me. She’s vicious. You should see her true colors. Hurry up and pull me up.”

Shao Qingyuan glanced sideways at Cui Lan and did not say a word to her. He only said to Gu Yundong, “When I returned to the cabin, I realized that the door was locked, so I came here to look for you. I happened to see Imperial Physician Cui’s guard coming over, so I stopped him. Since you’re done asking, let’s go back. Your hand should hurt after holding her for so long. I’ll rub it for you.”

When Cui Lan heard this, her face was filled with disbelief.

Not only did Shao Qingyuan hear it from the beginning, but he even stopped the guard who was protecting her and her father and daughter from saving her?

Cui Lan felt cold all over.

This shouldn’t happen. Shao Qingyuan shouldn’t be like this.

He clearly had a chivalrous heart. He should be clearly distinguishing between right and wrong. He should…

How did this happen?

Gu Yundong glanced at her and let go.

Just as Cui Lan thought she was going to fall, a rope suddenly flew over and instantly wrapped around her waist. With a little force, it pulled her onto the deck.

Cui Lan was still in shock. She knelt on the ground and panted heavily.

After a long time, she looked up and only saw Shao Qingyuan supporting Gu Yundong’s back as he left.

Cui Lan’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred.

The guard beside her lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, “Miss Cui, you should return to the cabin.”

Cui Lan suddenly turned her head and glared at him angrily. “Where were you? The emperor asked you to protect us. Is this how you protect us? Shao Qingyuan stopped you just like that. You’re simply useless.”

The guard narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “I’m under orders to protect Imperial Physician Cui, not you.”

With that, he turned around and left.

He was an imperial guard and was only temporarily acting as Imperial Physician Cui’s guard. It was not Cui Lan’s turn to point and scold him.
