The girl spoke earnestly, her fair face full of amusement, as if she had done this many times before, with a hint of understanding in her eyes.
It's as if it's saying, "I knew it."
Lu Cijian was taken aback, feeling both annoyed and amused. He reached out and pinched her cheek, saying with dissatisfaction, "Jiang Yimian, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Do you think everyone is like you?
When has he ever taken advantage of someone in distress?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he unconsciously increased the pressure on his hands slightly.
The young man's slender fingers kneaded the girl's fair cheeks, and her originally bright and delicate face now had a touch of coquettishness and cuteness.
With its cheeks puffed out, it looked like a silly little goldfish.
Lu Cijian's lips curled slightly, and the force in his hand unconsciously lessened. The slight displeasure he had felt earlier had vanished without a trace.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat dissatisfied and reached out to remove the large hand from her face.
But that large hand, which wasn't using much force, seemed to be permanently attached to her face, pinching her cheek and refusing to let go.
Jiang Yimian looked up and met the teasing look in those dark eyes. She immediately became dissatisfied and said, "What do you mean? Who took advantage of you? Let me go."
How could someone as innocent as her be slandered?
As they were talking, they heard a soft cough from behind them.
Jiang Yimian turned around and saw Lin Yan'an glaring at the two of them with a displeased expression, saying irritably, "What are you doing? There are so many people here!"
Even though he knew that Jiang Yimian might choose Lu Cijian over him, he still couldn't accept it after seeing it with his own eyes.
These two are too blatant. He's still here, and they're already flirting like this. They really don't respect him at all.
Lu Cijian glanced at him, but instead of letting go of Jiang Yimian's cheek, he patted her fluffy head, clearly intending to provoke her.
Lin Yan'an was furious. He took a deep breath and glared at Lu Cijian before saying, "Yi Mian, Liu'er is looking for you."
That guy surnamed Lu is definitely no good. What's he so proud of? He's just from a better family background, a bit more handsome, and a bit more skilled in martial arts.
If he had such good qualities, Yi Mian would have chosen him long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Jiang Yimian was about to pry Lu Cijian's hand open again, but he had already let go and said with a smile, "I'll come find you later."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Lin Yan'an was so angry that he gritted his teeth on the spot. He hated it. Why wasn't he a prince? Now, whether it was status or family background, he was no match for Lu Cijian.
If he were Jiang Yimian, he would also choose Lu Cijian.
Throughout the journey, Lin Yan'an remained indignant, muttering to himself from time to time, appearing quite angry.
Coupled with that exceptionally bright red dress, she looked exactly like the day we first met.
It's definitely an Angry Bird.
Jiang Yimian found it amusing, and then, thinking of Wang Sancai, asked, "How are Wang San and the others?"
When she rushed back, Wang San and the others were all lying on the ground, covered in wounds, clearly seriously injured.
Lin Yan'an only snorted before saying, "It's nothing serious. The physician said there's no danger to his life."
General Wei, you don't need to worry. When Liu'er and I realized something was wrong, we hid early on and were unharmed.
However, I heard you call Vice General Jiang "elder brother." Is he really your missing brother?
When he first learned that Jiang Yimian's father and brother had disappeared, he searched for them secretly, but he couldn't find either of them or find any information. He thought that the two of them were no longer alive, so he was too embarrassed to ask.
Fortunately, they are both alright and have now been reunited.
It's just a pity that he really has no chance. One is the sister of a promising deputy general, and the other is the heir of the Marquis of Anding. They seem like a perfect match.
If Yi Mian liked him, he wouldn't be without a chance, but over the past few days, he's come to see things clearly.
Jiang Yimian doesn't like him.
Not only did they not visit him after arriving in the capital, but the way they looked at him was very different from the way they looked at the man surnamed Lu.
He, the young master of the prestigious Lin family, was heartbroken just like that.
Jiang Yimian nodded, "It's a pity he has amnesia. I don't know when he will remember. His parents will definitely worry if they know."
Although knowing that Jiang Qingyuan was alive would surely make his parents happy, they would also feel disappointed if they learned that the son they had raised did not remember them.
Lin Yan'an nodded silently to the side, feeling increasingly depressed.
He and the man surnamed Lu were sworn enemies.
As the two were talking, they arrived at the courtyard where the group of people were staying.
Before even entering, they heard Old Chen's disgruntled voice, "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? I'm an upright old man, why would I take your things? Stop swearing."
Old Chen was so angry that he glared and his eyes, which had been dim and old, suddenly became brighter with rage.
How could an old man like him, a renowned poison master, possibly steal this young girl's poisons?
He was curious about the fact that Wan Du Gu had adopted Gu worms since childhood, but that was all. Why would he steal this guy's Gu worms for no reason?
He didn't like those kinds of poisons.
Liu'er looked at Old Chen with suspicion for a long time before finally managing to say, "Who knows what you did with my Gu worms?"
If it wasn't this person who took away her Gu worms, who else could it be?
Those venomous insects were extremely poisonous. Apart from Old Chen, who was able to take them away successfully, everyone else would have been bitten by the insects before they even touched them, and they would have had no chance of surviving.
Old Chen was so angry he jumped up and down. When he saw the person outside the door, he hurriedly called out, "Xiao Jiang, come here quickly and judge this for me, this old man! This little girl insists that I stole her Gu worm. Isn't that nonsense?"
What would an old man like me do with her Gu worms?
He was truly wronged. If he had initially intended to borrow the other party's Gu worms to examine them, he wouldn't dare mention it at all now.
Liu'er said earnestly, "Miss, he must have stolen it. He just didn't want to give it to me."
Besides Old Chen, she really couldn't think of anyone else who had taken her Gu worms. And this guy still refused to admit it, which infuriated her.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Jiang Yimian felt a headache coming on, but still asked, "Liu'er, when did you lose your Gu worm?"
She had never heard the other party mention it, no wonder she hadn't seen her feeding poisonous substances for a while.
Liu'er said earnestly, "It was lost after he left when we were in Pingjiang County. If he didn't take it, who else could it be?"
The reason she decided to follow Jiang Yimian was to find an opportunity to get the Gu worm. Now that she had finally met Old Chen, she was determined to get the Gu worm back.
Before Jiang Yimian could speak, Lin Yan'an nodded silently to the side, then opened his folding fan with a "whoosh," as if he knew everything, "Then it must have been you who took it."
Old Chen, you can forgive yourself for taking Liu'er's Gu worms, but you should just return them to her now.
"Miss Liu is so magnanimous, she certainly won't be angry."
Apart from Old Chen, who had a penchant for those poisons, everyone else would run far away if they saw them; how could they possibly steal them?
Jiang Yimian also looked at Old Chen. To be honest, she also felt that there was a high probability that Old Chen had taken Liu'er's Gu worm. This guy never played by the rules, so it was very likely that he took the Gu worm to refine medicine.
