Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1722: Seeking Chu Lian’s Help

Shibao Town, Yuelai Restaurant.

Chu Lian hurriedly came here from that courtyard. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he went to the counter and anxiously asked, "Where are they?"

The shopkeeper, seeing the young master had arrived, replied, "In the private room. They seem very anxious; I don’t know what happened."

"Alright, I understand." Chu Lian said, then walked towards the private room.

Upon pushing the door open, he saw Xiaoxiao and Yang Dong sitting there.

As soon as the two saw Chu Lian come in, they quickly stood up and called, "Brother-in-law Chu."

"Did something happen at home?" Chu Lian asked as he entered. They came to him so urgently; it seemed something was wrong at home. He didn’t even think about Xue Zhiyi.

"Brother-in-law Chu, we came to ask you to help find someone." Yang Dong anxiously spoke up first.

Upon hearing that Xue Zhiyi was captured, he was terribly anxious and immediately decided to come along with his sister-in-law.

Seeing Yang Dong’s anxious expression, Chu Lian reassured, "Don’t worry, who are you looking for?"

At this moment, Xiaoxiao spoke, "It’s Xue Zhiyi from Medicine King Valley and his female disciple named An’an. A few days ago, Li Chuntao opened an academy and fell off a cliff. Although she woke up, she lost her memory. We brought Xue Zhiyi to treat her, but before the treatment, he was captured."

Xiaoxiao spoke quickly. She had initially gone to the Xuntian Escort Agency, but most of their people were out on assignments, and few were left there. It was too late to call them over, so she didn’t mention this to the agency and brought Yang Dong to Yuelai Restaurant.

Just the fierceness with which Chu Lian helped avenge Wang Xiangxiang before and the fact that he could manage to get an Imperial Decree, it showed he must have some connections.

So, they thought of seeking Chu Lian’s help.

In Shanshi County, Shibao Town, she truly didn’t know any other people.

The County Magistrate was unreliable, not worth even considering reporting the matter to the authorities.

The main reason for coming to Yuelai Restaurant was the proximity, trying their luck. If it didn’t work, they would head to the Chu Mansion to find someone. Luckily, upon arrival, the shopkeeper offered to help find the person, and Chu Lian came quickly too, saving her the trouble of going to the mansion. After all, the courtyards of affluent families have many rules, which she doesn’t like to enter.

Upon hearing the words "Xue Zhiyi," Chu Lian’s pupils constricted, but his expression showed no noticeable change. He said, "Don’t worry, I’ll send people to look for them and will definitely help you find them."

"Thank you, Brother-in-law Chu," Yang Dong hurriedly expressed his gratitude, placing all hope on Chu Lian.

"It’s getting late; you two should hurry home. I’ll notify you as soon as I have news."

Xiaoxiao and Yang Dong knew not to delay Chu Lian’s search, so they bid farewell and left.

After they left, Chu Lian’s hand unconsciously tightened at his side. He hadn’t expected Xue Zhiyi to have any connection to the Yang Family.

Is this an ill fate?

He lifted his leg out of the private room and quickly arrived at the courtyard where Xue Zhiyi was held.

Seeing Acheng, he asked, "How is he?"

"Young master, there hasn’t been any movement in the room since you left. It’s very quiet."

Chu Lian nodded and pushed the door open, seeing Xue Zhiyi still sitting calmly as if he wasn’t afraid of being killed. The corner of Chu Lian’s mouth let out a cold snort, "You’re very calm and so leisurely, aren’t you afraid of losing your life soon?"

"Hehe, everyone dies eventually; it’s just a matter of time, and besides, you might not truly be able to kill me."
