Chapter 183 If you don’t want money, what do you want?

Jinshu hurriedly turned over and got off the bed, kneeling on the ground and whispered: "Mr. Jiang En left today, and the young lady said she wanted to see him off..."

Chunzhi frowned slightly when she heard this, "Wan'er went alone?"

Jinshu said: "Yes... yes."

Jiang San had been recuperating in the Song residence for some time. Ever since Madam Mu came, Song Wan'er had listened to her adoptive mother and brother and no longer took care of her benefactor personally. She only ordered people to send some food and daily necessities to the west wing from time to time, and even some records of knights and travel notes.

Song Wan'er would give Jiang San whatever she liked, and occasionally take a look at him from afar through the window.

Jiang San's injury has almost healed recently, so he said goodbye to Song Anlan this morning. Song Anlan prepared a very generous thank-you gift and even suggested that Jiang San stay in the capital in the future. He could work for the Song family or find a job under the King of Chang'an.

But Jiang Sandu refused, not even asking for a thank-you gift, and left in a leisurely manner.

Song Anlan personally saw Jiang San out, and presented him with a fine horse and a sword, before going out to do other things.

Everyone in the Song residence knew that Jiang Engong had left, but no one knew that Song Wan'er had also quietly followed him out.

Jinshu was asked by her mistress to pretend to be her and hide in the house to read a storybook. She never knew that Princess Chang'an would suddenly come over today...

Chunzhi had always treated Song Wan'er as her own sister. When she heard that she had secretly run out to see Jiang San off, her heart immediately hung in the air. She immediately asked, "How long has Wan'er been out?"

Jinshu was almost crying with fear, "More than half an hour."

Seeing this, Yuzhu said quickly, "Half an hour out isn't too long. We should still have time to look for him now."

Chunzhi knew that this was Song Wan'er's idea, and Jinshu, a little maid, couldn't refuse. She asked everyone to get up and asked the guards of the Song residence to find Song Wan'er immediately. Finally, she did not forget to send someone to report to Song Anlan.

Seeing Chunzhi had arranged everything, Huo Yanran said, "This Miss Song just sneaked out to see her savior off. She'll be back soon. Nothing should happen to her."

Chunzhi said with some worry: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one."

At this time, outside the city gate.

Song Wan'er dressed up as a maid and followed Jiang San all the way out of the city.

Jiang San led the horse and did not ride it all the way. He walked out of the city. When he reached the city gate, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians. He realized that there was someone following him and looked back.

Song Wan'er, who was about a dozen steps away, was carrying a heavy bag and walking forward. She was already sweating profusely after walking such a long way from the Song residence. Suddenly, she saw Jiang San turning around and was stunned for a moment, "Jiang, Jiang Engong..."

Jiang San seemed to have just noticed that she was following him, and asked in surprise, "Miss Song, why are you following me?"

When Song Wan'er saw that he had discovered her, she quickly reacted and walked forward with her bag on her back, "I heard that Lord Jiang En was leaving, I, I came to see you off."

Jiang San said, "Mr. Song gave me a fine horse and a famous sword. I have already thanked you and given them away. Miss Song, there is no need to come again. Please go back."

"How can they be the same?" Song Wan'er said, "Besides, you saved my life. It's really stingy of you to give you only a horse and a sword. I have also prepared some thank-you gifts for you. I hope you will accept them."

As she spoke, she handed over the large bundle in her hand.

The bag was a bit heavy, and when Song Wan'er handed it over, her whole body swayed.

She is the younger sister of the richest man in Dongzhou. She usually wears gorgeous clothes and luxurious attire, but today she is like a little maid, with two buns on her head and silk flowers on her head, which makes her look even more charming and lovely.

Jiang San didn't take the bag, but reached out his hand through his sleeve to support Song Wan'er, and whispered, "Miss Song, stand firm."

Song Wan'er smiled and said, "If you take the bag, I can stand firmly, right?"

Jiang San held the horse with one hand and supported Song Wan'er with the other. After the two looked at each other, he quickly withdrew his hand.

The big bag in Song Wan'er's hand was not packed very tightly, revealing jade carvings and pearl strings. The bag was filled with such valuable items.

She insisted on handing the bundle to Jiang San, but Jiang San refused to take it. The bundle was almost falling apart after being pushed and shoved.

There are not many people outside the city, but there are still carriages passing by from time to time.

"The things in the bag are about to fall out, put them away first." Jiang San said as he gathered the bag and asked Song Wan'er to hold it tightly. Then he said, "Let's go sit in the pavilion in front, Miss Song."

"Okay." Song Wan'er carried a big bag and followed Jiang San forward.

The pavilion was not far away. Jiang San tied the horse under a tree, and Song Wan'er carried the bag to the stone table.

The bundle fell apart, revealing a pile of gold, silver and jewelry inside, sparkling in the sunlight.

Jiang San stepped forward, reached out to tie the bundle again, and gathered all the valuable items inside.

He said to Song Wan'er, "Although this is the emperor's territory, it's still too dangerous for you to run around with so much gold, silver, and jewelry. Take the things back quickly."

Song Wan'er wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and said with a smile, "This is my thank you gift to my benefactor. How can I take it back?"

Just as Jiang San was about to speak, he heard Song Wan'er say, "Since my benefactor is worried that it's unsafe for me to travel around with all this gold, silver, and jewelry, you should accept it. That way, no one will target me when I return to the city empty-handed."

The girl's smile was as beautiful as a flower and her eyes were as clear as water.

Jiang San looked at her for a moment before he said, "I didn't save you for these things."

"I know." Song Wan'er said with a smile, "Your Excellency saved me not for money, but my family has nothing to repay you except money, so I hope you will accept it."

Jiang San said sternly, "When a person walks the streets of Jianghu, he should help when he sees injustice. I cannot accept this money."

Song Wan'er looked at Jiang San and asked softly, "If my benefactor doesn't want money, what does he want?"

Jiang San met Song Wan'er's gaze.

The two looked at each other.

After a long while, Jiang Sancai spoke: "I don't want anything. As long as Miss Song is well and remembers that she has me, that's enough."

Song Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned slightly red, "You, you..."

Jiang San took a step forward and stood very close to Song Wan'er. "Rather than saying that I saved Miss Song, it was actually Miss Song who made me experience the warmth of human kindness."

He said, "My parents died when I was young, and I wandered the world because I had no place to go. Before I met Miss Song, no one had ever cared so much about my life or death..."

"Lord Jiang En..." Song Wan'er was too close to him and felt a little helpless, not knowing what to say.

Jiang San's voice rang in her ears, "I originally wanted to stay and protect Miss Song, but Master Song didn't seem to trust me. I thought it would be better to leave early. But I didn't expect the girl to follow me out of the city. I... I really can't help but ask: I wonder how the girl sees me?"
