Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Scumbag Brother and Scumbag Father, Get Lost (48)

Noticing Yaan Huai’s distrustful gaze, she walked up to a stone stump and slapped it with one hand, causing the stump to crack into pieces.

Without waiting for Yaan Huai to ask further, she climbed over the wall and left. Nimble and swift, she disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Yaan Huai quickly chased after her, but sure enough, found no trace of her.

Recalling the rumors, he remembered an old man had once taught her martial arts. He felt slightly relieved and hurried to hire a carriage to rush to Landlord Liu’s house.

Qiann Yan moved quickly, using Qinggong. In all this time, her martial arts skills had improved significantly and dealing with the likes of Landlord Liu was well within her capability.

Relying solely on martial arts felt laborious and rather brutal to her; martial arts combined with poison was the perfect match.

Landlord Liu’s home was not far from the county town, and she arrived there in less than half an hour. Seeing the large mansion, she didn’t bother knocking on the door; she leaped inside directly, planning to find Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yunniang first.

She grabbed someone who looked like a supervisor and inquired about the two’s whereabouts, locating the room they were in. Positioned on the rooftop, she saw two guards in the courtyard, swiftly leaping down to knock them unconscious within an instant.

She pushed open the door, and indeed, it was Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yunniang inside. Seeing her made the two even more anxious.

"Don’t speak now, I’ll get you out," she said.

Qiann Yan let Xu Yunniang hold the baby securely, led the two out, grabbed them by the waist, and flew off with them.

Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yunniang were stunned; they always knew Qiann Yan was skilled but never realized she could fly.

As Qiann Yan brought them out, Yaan Huai happened to arrive.

Seeing her easily rescue the two, there was no time to celebrate; he quickly ushered Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yunniang into the carriage.

Qiann Yan took out a vial and handed it to Yaan Huai: "This is poison; if you sense anyone coming after you, sprinkle the powder inside the carriage."

She also took out four pills, giving three to the three adults to consume and breaking the last one into a quarter to feed the child.

"Take the antidote first, so you won’t get poisoned."

"Yan’er, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously.

Qiann Yan replied, "If this matter isn’t resolved completely, Landlord Liu will continue to come after me."

"Yaan Huai, I’ll leave their safe return to you."

Yaan Huai wanted to persuade her, but facing Qiann Yan’s trusting eyes, he nodded firmly. She wouldn’t do anything unless she was sure of it; since she chose to return, she surely had confidence.

Watching the carriage drive away, Qiann Yan returned to the gate of Landlord Liu’s mansion; this time, she approached the main entrance, tucking a cleaver at her waist before knocking.

"May I know who the young lady is?"

"Meng Qianyan."

"So you’re the new madam." The doorman immediately beamed, inviting Qiann Yan inside while sending someone to notify others.

It wasn’t long before Qiann Yan met a middle-aged man, not very tall, with a slightly plump build, his gaze constantly assessing her, giving off an unpleasant vibe.

"So my new madam has arrived; kept people waiting, indeed." Liu Huan Yuaan’s cheeks jiggled with each word he spoke, smiling as he approached, "Since the new madam is here, follow the servants to change into the wedding attire and prepare for the ceremony."

"Where’s my mother and the others?"

"Must see the people first," Liu Huan Yuaan chuckled, "Alright, let’s take you to see them first."

"Are Meng Chongxi and Meng Wengan here?"

Liu Huan Yuaan hesitated, "They’re not here; they couldn’t attend our wedding due to other matters."

Qiann Yan felt a bit disappointed but still followed Liu Huan Yuaan. Liu Huan Yuaan noticed she had tucked a cleaver and his smile deepened, "Madam made the effort to come and brought a cleaver; do you intend to show off and cook something?"

Qiann Yan remained silent, her gaze meaningful.

She was contemplating whether to immediately take down Liu Huan Yuaan so he couldn’t recover, but on second thought, Meng Chongxi was still enjoying his carefree days, which left her annoyed.

Her current status was not suitable for dealing with Meng Chongxi, so she decided to let Liu Huan Yuaan handle him first.

Perhaps, after Liu Huan Yuaan dealt with Meng Chongxi, she’d come back to handle the rest. Yes, that sounded right.

They quickly arrived at the room where Mrs. Zhang and the others were held, but just as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw two guards unconscious at the entrance, causing Liu Huan Yuaan’s smile to vanish.

"Someone!"

"What happened?"

"Wake them up."

The guards at the door were splashed awake but knew nothing upon inquiry.

Qiann Yan removed the cleaver, "Landlord Liu, where are my mother and the others?"

Liu Huan Yuaan’s face turned cold, "I’ll give you an explanation."

"But I can’t wait."

Liu Huan Yuaan didn’t take Qiann Yan’s accusations seriously, though he knew she had some skills and quickly ordered people to guard him.
