Chapter 184 You Are a Bit Stupid

This was the first time in Song Wan'er's life that she was so close to a man, so close that the warmth of his breath could be felt in her ears.

Song Wan'er's face suddenly turned even redder. She took a step back, but Jiang San took a step closer. Instead of the distance between them increasing, they became even closer.

Song Wan'er didn't dare to continue looking at Jiang San, and lowered her eyes and said, "In my heart, my benefactor is naturally a great man."

Jiang San lowered his voice and asked, "Just a good person?"

Song Wan'er didn't speak for a while.

Jiang San continued, "Miss Song, the world is vast and full of beautiful sights, but the road ahead is long. Now that we've parted, I'm afraid we may never meet again. Would you be willing to... come with me to explore other places?"

Song Wan'er: "I, I..."

She looked as if she found it difficult to answer, turned around and walked around Jiang San, took out two white jade wine glasses from her bag and placed them on the stone table, then took the gourd from her waist, opened it, and filled the two glasses with wine.

Song Wan'er picked up one of the glasses of wine and said to Jiang San with a blushing face, "Mr. Jiang, the road ahead is long. Today we say goodbye, and I don't know when we will meet again. This farewell naturally requires a farewell drink. Please drink this glass to the full. We promise to meet again next year."

She said, "After I have my coming-of-age ceremony, I will go with my benefactor to see the world's scenery."

Jiang San did not reach out to take the glass of wine that Song Wan'er handed him, but just looked at her steadily.

"Benefactor?" Song Wan'er handed it forward again.

After a moment of silence, Jiang San suddenly raised his hand and knocked the wine glass out of Song Wan'er's hand. The latter fell towards the stone table, and the glass of wine and the wine gourd on the stone table also fell to the ground.

The white jade wine glass was smashed to pieces, and the wine in the gourd spilled onto the ground.

The aroma of wine filled the long pavilion.

Jiang San's eyes completely changed when he saw Song Wan'er. He reached out to grab Song Wan'er's wrist, pulled her up, and said in a stern tone: "Miss Song, I want to invite you to come with me, but since you don't want to, I can only find another way to "invite" you."

Song Wan'er acted terrified, as if she had just met the man. "My brothers and the others were right. You... you really have ulterior motives."

"Oh?" Jiang San was able to restrain Song Wan'er's hands with one hand, like a beast biting a rabbit's neck. He was not in a hurry to tie Song Wan'er up. "Since you know that I have ulterior motives, why did you dare to follow me out of the city alone? Miss Song, you are a bit stupid."

"You're the stupid one!" Song Wan'er bit Jiang San's neck so hard that she soon tasted rust in her mouth.

"A rabbit will bite when it's anxious—"

Jiang San smiled, raised his knife, and wanted to knock Song Wan'er unconscious, but he suddenly lost his strength, his head became dizzy, and his whole body seemed to have lost all strength.

Song Wan'er struggled to break free from him and jumped three steps away.

Jiang Sanqiang gathered his strength and ran after her to catch her, but suddenly his vision went dark and he stumbled and bumped into the pavilion pillar. Then his limbs became increasingly sore and weak, and he could no longer move.

"What did you do to me?" Jiang San drew out his sword and cut a gash on his arm, blood splattering out. He forced himself to recover a little with the pain and reached out to grab Song Wan'er.

Song Wan'er ran forward a few steps quickly. When she heard the sound of something heavy falling behind her, she stopped and turned to look at Jiang San, "Guess?"

"You poisoned me!" Jiang San thought of this almost immediately.

But he was extremely careful when he was at Song's house, and tested everything he ate with a silver needle.

"It's not poison, it's muscle softening powder."

Seeing that he had fallen to the ground and was unable to get up, Song Wan'er slowly walked forward. Even so, she stopped three or five steps away from the river.

Things like Softening Muscle Powder cannot be tested with silver needles.

And she didn't spend it on food, but on the clothes Jiang San wore and the various supplies she sent to the west wing.

The amount used each time is very small, and it has been accumulated for more than a month. When Song Wan'er went out today, she also fumigated herself with incense that can cause muscle softening.

If Jiang San had not been so close to her just now, his outburst would not have been so severe.

Song Wan'er was looking down at him. She wanted to get closer to him but was afraid that the medicine wouldn't be strong enough, so she stepped back.

She said, "My brother said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against them. You showed up just in time when I was attacked by the bad guys."

Jiang San did intend to get close to Song Wan'er. He was in the same group with those people. His adoptive father started a rebellion in Xizhou and was short of money, so he sent many people to collect money everywhere. He looked down on those who robbed and looted everywhere. After learning that someone had taken the lead in robbing Song Wan'er, he appeared at the right time and acted as a hero to save the beauty.

It is true that he can get a large sum of money by using Song Wan'er to threaten Song Anlan, but if he can trick Song Wan'er back to Xizhou and make her devoted to him, then the richest man in Dongzhou will be able to do whatever he wants.

He never thought that he would be injured so badly. After following Song Wan'er back to the Song residence, Song Anlan was still extremely wary of him.

So there was nothing wrong with Jiang San recuperating at the Song residence these days. However, after he said goodbye today, he knew that Song Wan'er was following him, but he didn't point it out. He didn't turn back until they were outside the city and there was no one around.

He originally thought that it would be best if he could trick Song Wan'er into going to Xizhou, but if he couldn't, he would kidnap her.

But what he didn't expect the most was that Song Wan'er, who had been by his side all night and had been so kind to him, had actually been on guard against him.

Jiang San gritted his teeth and said, "When did you first doubt me?"

"I didn't doubt you." Song Wan'er said innocently, "I just gave you some tendon softening powder that I made myself."

She has been weak and sickly since childhood, and the people she deals with the most are doctors. She has learned a lot from the two doctors in her family, but her medical knowledge is mediocre, and she has developed a lot of messy things.

For example, the softening powder used on Jiang San.

Jiang San gnashed his teeth in anger when he heard Song Wan'er say this.

Song Wan'er said, "I followed you out of the city today because I came to help you get rid of the muscle softening powder and apologize to you."

The whole bundle of gold, silver and jewelry was a gift of apology.

She said, "The glass of wine I poured for you just now is the antidote for the muscle softening powder, but you refused to drink it and suddenly attacked me..."

Jiang San looked at the white jade wine glass that was shattered on the ground and the wine that was spilled all over the floor.

That glass of wine turned out to be the antidote!

He was actually tricked by a stupid rabbit!

Jiang San was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"You're too impatient. This isn't good." Seeing that Jiang San was about to collapse, Song Wan'er moved closer to him. "But it's a good thing you didn't drink that glass of wine, otherwise I'd be the one in trouble now."

Jiang San felt dizzy from time to time, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the tendon softener or because he was angry with Song Wan'er.

Song Wan'er said, "You acted so well in the hero-saving-the-beauty scene, I almost believed it."

Jiang San gritted his teeth and said, "You don't believe me at all, from the beginning to the end... you never believed me!"

He now suspected that Song Wan'er was just pretending when she stayed by his side all night and wanted to take care of him personally.

Song Wan'er said innocently, "I just like reading storybooks. I'm not a fool. Between you and my brother, I naturally choose to believe my brother."
