Chapter 262: Mrs. Li Took a Fall Too!
Sun Feng was really troubled!
The relationship he had with Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi was as close as he had described to Yuan Pandi—truly a life-and-death friendship. Now, there had been this mishap with their nephew under his command, and he honestly didn’t know how to face the two brothers.
"What kind of misfortune have I landed myself in?"
A simple escort task, and he had even assigned a team of elite veterans to accompany it.
But what happened?
There was no danger on the road, but this young man, trying to gain some credit, ended up causing trouble for himself.
How could his luck be this bad?
"General, this isn’t your fault. Even if Yuan Laoer and Yuan Laosan find out, they can’t blame you for this!"
Sun Feng’s personal guard felt his general was overthinking things.
"I know!"
Sun Feng sighed, "Those two brothers won’t blame me, but I just feel terrible!"
"At worst, once the kid heals, we can arrange another task for him. His luck can’t be this bad forever, right?"
The guard spoke efficiently and straightforwardly.
Sun Feng shrugged and said, "That’s all we can do!"
"Sigh, I was just thinking about having a good drink with those two brothers when Yuan Laoer’s younger brother gets married. I guess I’ll forget about that now!"
Sun Feng wasn’t someone from a poor background; he was also the descendant of nobility. Of course, the Sun Family wasn’t comparable to the Wei Family. His family had been noble for three generations, initially rising with the Great General Wei Huo.
Now, the Sun Family was still following the Wei Family and was considered a subordinate family to them.
After all, the Sun Family’s ancestor was just a personal guard to Wei Huo back then.
...
While Sun Feng was mired in this gloom, Mrs. Li, far away in Beishan Village, also encountered some problems.
Originally, the weather was warming up, and spring plowing was just around the corner. But who would have thought that suddenly, the temperature dropped overnight? A cold spell, and the chill was biting.
Sleet fell for most of the night, and when Mrs. Li went out early the next morning, she unfortunately slipped and fell.
And it was quite a bad fall.
Yuan Pandi had no choice but to take her to Yunyang City for a consultation and then send her to rest temporarily at Yuan Yindi’s place.
Mrs. Zeng, seeing her eldest daughter-in-law unable to take care of herself due to the fall, didn’t know what to say.
But she couldn’t ignore it, since this was her eldest daughter-in-law.
Yuan Pandi felt quite embarrassed, having to ask her mother to help take care of his wife.
"Alright, stop looking so glum!"
Seeing her eldest son’s pitiful and aggrieved expression, Mrs. Zeng couldn’t help but glare at him, "Your wife will stay here for now, and you—go back to doing whatever you need to do!"
"Mom, I’m sorry to trouble you!"
Yuan Pandi scratched his head, sincerely feeling guilty.
Mrs. Zeng wasn’t thinking much about it.
"By the way, how’s your fourth brother’s family?"
Since Old Yuan and his family had moved to the city, only Yuan Pandi and Yuan Zhaodi’s families remained in Beishan Village. However, after they moved away, Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li hadn’t shown up again, which was something Mrs. Zeng was still concerned about.
"They’re doing well!"
Yuan Pandi thought for a moment, "My fourth brother and his wife aren’t having any issues, so I think they’re doing fine!"
"Good to hear they’re doing well!"
Mrs. Zeng was indeed worried about Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li.
After all, they had quarreled because of Yuan Bao.
"Mom, I’ll be heading back then!"
Yuan Pandi couldn’t stay in the city forever; after all, he still had chickens, ducks, and pigs to take care of at home.
He hadn’t even had a chance to speak with his fourth brother due to the urgency of taking Mrs. Li to the city for treatment. Now, he couldn’t linger in the city too long.
