Chapter 2656: Mission 42
Editor: Henyee Translations
The following morning, Gu Chaoyan rose at dawn. Tian Qi had already arrived at the Yan Mansion, ready to escort Yan Danqiu into the city. Tian Qi, primarily responsible for driving the carriage, awaited the departure.
Accompanying Gu Chaoyan this time were Zhixia, Tian Liu, and Yan Dandong. Gu Chaoyan had made a promise to bring the youngest Dandong along on this wagon journey.
Confident in Tian Qi’s assistance, Gu Chaoyan had little concern about bringing them into the city. While Danxia, being older, required less attention, Gu Chaoyan trusted Tian Qi to handle any issues that might arise with Dandong and Tian Jiu.
Yan Dandong radiated happiness as the family set out.
Upon reaching the village entrance, the carriage unexpectedly came to a halt.
Puzzled, Gu Chaoyan lifted the curtain and questioned, “Brother Tian Qi, what’s happening?”
Tian Qi sighed, explaining, “The Jiang Clan has stopped us.”
The Jiang family was causing an obstruction?
Gu Chaoyan, recognizing this as a personal matter with the Jiang family, understood that Tian Qi might not be able to resolve the situation.
Stepping out of the carriage, she cast a disapproving glance at Jiang Caixiu’s mother and Jiang Caixiu, clearly displeased with their interference.
Jiang Caixiu’s mother approached with a smile. “Danqiu, Caixiu is about to enter the city and head to the academy. Since your carriage is faster, could you send him on his way?”
Gu Chaoyan responded firmly, “You can proceed to Uncle Liu in the city. He has an ox-cart, and our wagon belongs to our family. We are not in the business of transportation, and we have no intention of encroaching on Uncle Liu’s trade.”
Jiang Caixiu’s mother wore a slightly unpleasant expression, her motive for stopping them clear – she wanted Yan Danqiu to do her a favor. Treating Gu Chaoyan as an outsider, she asserted that their family wasn’t involved in such transportation businesses.
“We’re all from the same village, and the scholar is heading to the academy…” Jiang Caixiu’s mother argued.
Gu Chaoyan retorted firmly, “You’re asking for a free ride. There’s no such rule in the village. Is your Jiang Family lacking money? Why take advantage of such a trivial matter?” Her voice resonated loudly, drawing snickers from a few onlookers.
Jiang Caixiu’s mother blushed, caught off guard by Yan Danqiu’s apparent refusal and seemingly unable to comprehend the situation. She struggled to articulate her defense.
Gu Chaoyan, unyielding, decided to leave without giving them any face. She instructed Tian Qi, “Let’s drive the carriage. They’re just taking advantage of us. We can’t break the rules and create problems for Uncle Liu.”
Tian Qi couldn’t help but laugh and resumed driving the carriage.
The audacity of the Jiang family was apparent – quick to break off the engagement before, but now clinging to Yan Danqiu for perceived benefits.
Fortunately, Yan Danqiu proved not to be easily manipulated.
The carriage moved forward, leaving Jiang Caixiu and his companions in a sorry state, forced to seek an ox cart.
For the Yan family, it was a minor inconvenience.
Gu Chaoyan proceeded to the Lin Family’s pharmacy, leaving Tian Qi with the children in the wagon. The pharmacy wasn’t small, and the children, well-behaved, waited patiently. Gu Chaoyan, mindful of not inconveniencing the Lin Family, kept the children in the carriage to play on the street once everything was sorted.
The children were content, waiting obediently in the carriage.
As Gu Chaoyan arrived at the Lin Family’s pharmacy…
