Upon hearing this, tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she said pitifully, "Replying to...replying to sir...this humble woman, Jiang Yun'er...he is this humble woman's grandfather..."
So he wasn't mute after all; he could actually speak...
Qin Chuan sighed inwardly. This matter was truly troublesome. He glanced at the silver note Zhang Cheng had given him; it was only two hundred taels. Was he really planning to buy a life?
Thinking of this, he said apologetically to Jiang Yun'er, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences. Please feel free to make any requests you may have..."
Jiang Yun'er buried her head and cried, ignoring whatever Qin Chuan said.
Qin Chuan was at a loss for what to do. He stepped out of the cabin, wondering how he had run into this mess!
Wait, something seems off!
Fishing boat... So, she's a fisherwoman!
Why doesn't she smell fishy at all? Instead, she has a faint medicinal fragrance.
Also, why did I just uncontrollably imagine her without clothes on?
...
Something seems amiss.
After putting on an N95 mask, Qin Chuan went back into the cabin.
He sat down and silently warmed himself by the fire with Jiang Yun'er. Jiang Yun'er looked scared and tried to get away, but although she looked frightened, she didn't move her body at all.
Qin Chuan took a closer look at the clothes in her hands, and sure enough, the medicinal scent was emanating from her wet clothes...
Although a lot of water vapor was rising from his clothes, Qin Chuan could clearly see a faint yellow gas...
This is clearly the gas emitted by some kind of drug...
And then there's the fact that I sometimes fantasize about her body...
Qin Chuan inwardly cried out in alarm!
Luckily I was wearing an N95 mask, otherwise I would have fallen for their trap!
Qin Chuan pretended to be nonchalant as he walked out of the cabin...
When Qin Chuan returned to the cabin, he was accompanied by four royal guards. He glanced at Jiang Yun'er and said, "If you want money, I can give it to you right away. Just name your price. People can't be brought back to life, and there's nothing we can do. Besides, you were the ones who hit our ship, so you bear the primary responsibility, and we bear secondary responsibility."
Jiang Yun'er burst into tears, crying, "I...I only have Grandpa as my family...I have no family left..."
She spoke so pitifully that I felt sorry for her.
She looked like a pear blossom in the rain, a sight that broke one's heart.
Qin Chuan no longer believed her and instructed a guard beside him, "Send a message to the nearest government office to investigate a fisherwoman named Jiang Yun'er..."
"Hurry up and go!"
The guard was still hesitating whether to obey the order, but then he heard Zhang Cheng's instructions and immediately went to carry them out.
