A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Chapter 705 Taohua’s wedding date is set

Guier took Acheng's car and first came to Liu's Pharmacy.

There was nothing unusual in the pharmacy. There were still quite a lot of customers and the shopkeeper Zhang was also helping out.

Guier walked into the pharmacy with a smile on her face and said to Shopkeeper Zhang, "Shopkeeper Zhang, last time I asked you to tell my brother to prepare for the wedding. Has he replied yet? When is he going to prepare for the wedding?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was lowering his head to pick up some medicine. He looked up and saw her, a little surprised. He smiled and said, "I told him. He said... I'm busy right now. How about you go to the inner room and wait for me. He has something for you too."

Guier smiled sweetly and said, "Okay," then went to the inner room.

After a while, Shopkeeper Zhang came in, his eyes red as he walked in.

"Originally, Old Song had already sent Old Zhou to Shanghai. He even promised us that he would complete the mission. But later he turned around and bought a gun on the black market. I heard that he used all his savings to buy that gun. He was so stupid. How could he sacrifice himself..." As he spoke, tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.

Gui'er's eyes were red, and she quickly held back her anger and said to Zhang, "Sha Yanxiao's hand is right outside. Don't let it get out of your sight."

Shopkeeper Zhang sighed and wiped his eyes.

"Have you two found the medicine?" Shopkeeper Liu also walked in.

He turned around to look outside and whispered to Gui'er, "After this incident, what was the reaction from the Marshal's Mansion?"

"Sha Yanxiao found out that Shopkeeper Zhou had bought a black gun. He also said that he had been betting with Director Zhou's men, and Director Zhou's men had cheated, so he assassinated him. He said it was a personal vendetta."

"Really? That's great, it helps us a lot." Shopkeeper Zhang said happily with his hands clasped together.

"Is it really that simple? The young marshal is famous for his wisdom and courage. Maybe he has some tricks up his sleeve." Shopkeeper Liu frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Actually, the people at the Marshal's Mansion are also afraid that if they investigate too deeply, the central government will send people to interfere in Jiangcheng's affairs. Yesterday, when they went to visit Tian in the hospital, they gave him a lot of valuables, which also seemed like bribery. Sha Yanyao and Sha Yanxiao even put on a double act for Miss Tian, ​​asking her to persuade Director Tian not to investigate further."

"So that's how it is. That makes sense. Old Song got the news about you and immediately held a meeting to discuss it with us. We were thinking about it and discussed for a long time whether we should withdraw at this point. If we withdraw, it will be inconvenient for Manager Zhang and I to show up in Jiangcheng again. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Old Zhou and I usually try not to have contact with each other. So we are not the people who have the most frequent contact with him, and it should be impossible to find out. So we bravely stayed here." Manager Liu said.

"Is that so? That's good." Gui'er breathed a sigh of relief. Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Liu were nominally her masters, but she felt that their status in his mind was actually more important than her own brothers. If she suddenly lost contact with them, she didn't know how sad she would be.

"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhou...was dragged to a mass grave and buried randomly. I wanted to find out about it, but asking this question with my identity will definitely arouse suspicion." Gui'er said sadly.

"Guier, don't worry. We have comrades lurking in the army. They have already found out where Lao Zhou was buried. We have dug him out and sent him back to the countryside for a proper burial. He actually has uncles, nephews and nieces in the countryside." said Manager Liu.

"We can't stay here for too long, so let's make it short. Your brother has already replied, and the wedding pick-up time is set for noon five days later. He also invited me and Manager Liu." Manager Zhang said.

Gui'er nodded. Taohua could finally get married, and now she had a place to stay. No matter where she went in the future, she wouldn't have to worry about her not having a good time in the general's mansion.

After everyone agreed, they walked out of the inner room.

Gui'er said goodbye, got in the car, and came to Sha Yanxiao's outer residence.

When he arrived at the outer house and saw Taohua, he smiled and said, "Taohua, you are so happy! My brother has set a date for the bride, which will be at noon in five days."

When Taohua heard this, her eyes instantly lit up like stars, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile. She seemed to be injected with endless energy. She held Gui'er's hand tightly with both hands, and her voice was trembling with excitement. "Really? Gui'er, it's finally settled. I'm finally going to marry him!" As she spoke, she actually spun in circles on the spot like a child, her skirt flying like a happy butterfly.

The servants from the outer house also came over and congratulated Taohua with auspicious words, such as "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years, have a son soon, and have many children and grandchildren."

At this moment, Gui'er suddenly realized that Wang Ma and Menzi from the outer house were not among these people. Puzzled, she asked Taohua, "Taohua, where are Wang Ma and Menzi? Why can't I see them?"

Taohua was also bewildered after hearing this and said, "I don't know either. I heard he was fired for dereliction of duty."

When Gui'er heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uneasy. The scene of her meeting with Young Master Song that day instantly emerged in her mind. She wondered if the young marshal had noticed something.

Feeling anxious, Gui'er returned to the Marshal's Mansion and told the Marshal about the confirmed date for the bride's wedding. She said, "Taohua must be very happy. All the servants in the mansion came out to congratulate Taohua." She emphasized the word "servants" while looking at Sha Yanxiao's expression.

Sha Yanxiao looked calm, a faint smile on his face, and said gently: "Congratulations Taohua, you've found a good home. I will also attend the wedding that day, it will be lively and lively."

As he was speaking, the housekeeper announced that the eighth concubine was coming to deliver snacks again.

Before she finished reporting, the Eighth Concubine led the maid into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, Gui'er, this is the snack I just had made. I brought it over for you to try."

After saying that, he put the snacks on the table and said with a smile: "Eighth Auntie is so thoughtful. I usually don't eat snacks except for the main meals. Gui'er, you come and have some." As he said that, he crossed his legs and started reading the newspaper.

The Eighth Concubine was a little embarrassed by the cold reception she received, so she tried to find a topic of conversation: "Alas, I wanted to go back to my parents' home, but the Marshal wouldn't allow it. He said it's not safe outside and all the women have to stay inside the mansion. The eldest young master can go out, but we can't."

When Gui'er heard this, she asked curiously, "Where did my brother go? He must have gone to the hospital to see Director Tian."

The Eighth Concubine casually replied, "I heard he was going to Shanghai on official business." Guier then realized that although Director Tian was injured and could not go to Shanghai, the eldest young master, as his deputy, would definitely continue to carry out the mission. Thinking of this, her heart suddenly began to beat wildly...
