Chapter 97
"Go and find out what Jiang Xianyi has been up to lately," the young man ordered in a deep voice, a hint of fatigue showing in his eyes. He hadn't had a proper rest in a long time. "Expand the manpower and continue the search."
Zhu Zijin nodded with tears in his eyes.
But Wen Shu has been missing for so long, and her personal maid was found by the river; who knows, she might already be...
Zhu Zijin dared not think any further and left unsteadily.
Wen Shu has disappeared.
Pei Lingjun exhaled a mouthful of bloody breath, and the small jade mandarin duck in his arms burned his heart.
"Ah Shu, where are you?"
Without further hesitation, he strode toward the Wen residence.
At that time.
Shanzhou.
The woman on the couch remained pale.
It was Wen Shu, whom Pei Lingjun and the others had been searching for like mad.
In the eyes of the people of Anyang, Zhou Yun and Wen Ji, who were already dead, were now in this small room.
The aroma of medicine bubbling from the medicine stove in the courtyard permeated the space.
The refined and handsome man in the blue cloth shirt picked up the medicine stove, poured out the medicine, and got up to walk into the house.
Wen Shu has been in a coma for more than half a month.
Zhou Yun was anxious and pulled Lu Jiang aside, asking, "It's been so long, why hasn't Shu'er woken up yet?"
Wenji was also worried.
Lu Jiang put down the medicine bowl. "The toxins in my cousin's body have been cleared out. It will only take a few days for her to wake up."
"cough..."
A soft cough slowly rang out.
The three of them looked over at the same time, and saw the woman on the bed, whose skin was so pale it was almost transparent, slowly open her eyes. Her brownish eyes were like pearls covered in dust, carrying a faint sense of relief after surviving a calamity.
"Shu'er!"
"Sister!"
Wen Shu's body felt weak and powerless. After a brief moment of confusion, she saw the people inside the room.
They were all her relatives.
"Mother, Wenji..."
She's not dead?
Wen Shu's gaze passed over Zhou Yun and Wen Ji, landing on Lu Jiang behind them. She opened her mouth almost imperceptibly, "Cousin..."
inside the house
Only Wen Shu and Lu Jiang remained.
Only Lu Jiang knew about Wen Shu's entire plan.
The woman didn't dare look him in the eye and asked softly, "What day is it today?"
Lu Jiang said with a stern face, "What kind of day is this? The day the King of Hell released you! Do you know you almost lost your life?! You dared to provoke those people? You told me the plan was foolproof, but look at how weak you are, what do you mean by foolproof?!"
Zhou Yun and Wen Ji were in the courtyard, listening to the man's concerned and angry reprimands from inside the house, but neither of them made a move.
"cousin..."
Wen Shu weakly cried out again, "How was I supposed to know they wanted to kill me?" She tugged at Lu Jiang's sleeve, "Besides, aren't you here?"
Wen Shu had lived with her maternal grandfather since childhood, and Lu Jiang had also been raised by her maternal grandfather. The two had always been closer than other relatives. Wen Shu's plan to escape was entirely due to Lu Jiang's help.
If Lu Jiang hadn't pulled her out of the river in time, given her the antidote, and brought her to Shanzhou, she would have been dead long ago.
The man was refined and cultured, and his years of immersion in medical books and herbs had given him a gentle and trustworthy demeanor.
But even with such an approachable and kind nature, his tone became a bit harsher: "Never again should you take such a risky move. Even if you have no other choice, you must consult me first."
