Chapter 52: Miss Hua, You Have Never Been Thankful to Your Benefactor
Jiang Wan was eating, and Hua Xiao's gossiping fell into her ears. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
She seemed to understand why Hua Xiao did not settle down there. Maybe it was because she didn't meet the male protagonist, the Sixth Prince, and now she fell in love with Lin Tingyu.
It seems that her actions did affect the plot, which is good.
Lin Tingyu frowned and didn't want to pay attention to Hua Xiao, but his good upbringing made him patient.
"How can a simple word of thanks offset the life-saving grace? If it weren't for her, we would have become a pile of bones in the mine.
Come to think of it, Miss Hua, you have never thanked your benefactor. "
There was disapproval in his eyes when he said this, which made Hua Xiao feel inexplicably guilty.
"I……"
She hesitantly explained, "I feel grateful to my benefactor, but... I haven't figured out how to thank her yet."
Yes, that's it.
Hua Xiao was extremely depressed. Even if that woman didn't come to save her, with her modern knowledge, she would be able to escape. It was just a matter of time.
So she didn't have any feelings for Jiang Wan, but this was what Lin Tingyu said, and she couldn't leave a bad impression on him.
After hesitating for a while, Hua Xiao came over carefully and said, "Miss Jiang, thank you very much for saving my life."
"She is married."
Song Jiuyuan coldly reminded that calling a married woman "girl" was extremely impolite.
Hua Xiao had just arrived and had no idea about all these twists and turns, so she changed the topic awkwardly.
"Madam Song."
"No need to say thank you, I appreciate it."
Jiang Wan didn't want to get too entangled with her, and she didn't know whether she had the damn heroine halo. Jiang Wan felt that she still needed to observe her.
Hua Xiao blushed and glanced at Lin Tingyu not far away, probably saying, see, I've already said thank you.
Jiang Wan: ...
"Madam Song, I cannot repay you for saving my life, but I hope you will accept my small token of gratitude."
Lin Tingyu walked over, and his follower behind him was holding a tray with the five dishes and one soup he ordered from the inn.
Four meat dishes and one vegetable dish. It seems that he is well aware of Jiang Wan and the others' current identities and does things in a low-key manner.
"Thanks!"
Jiang Wan responded with a smile, and a smile appeared on Lin Tingyu's pale jade face.
He has a very handsome appearance, but probably because he has lost a lot of weight recently due to being tired, he looks like a skinny beauty.
But Jiang Wan knew that if this man gained some weight, he would definitely be very handsome, with the appearance of a modest gentleman, which would easily make people like him.
At least Jiang Wan had a good impression of him. Compared to Song Jiuyuan's cold face from time to time, Jiang Wan actually liked this type more.
Both of them smiled when they looked at each other. Song Jiuyuan felt inexplicably irritated and couldn't help but speak out.
"Eat quickly and rest early after eating. We have to travel tomorrow."
"Then I won't bother you any more."
Lin Tingyu smiled gently and left with his entourage. Hua Xiao hurriedly followed.
Song Jiuli couldn't help but sigh, "This young master is a good person."
“You can know a person’s face but not his heart.”
Song Jiuyuan replied venomously, leaving Song Jiuli speechless, "Brother, I don't think I have offended you, have I?"
That's a very fierce tone.
Song Jiuyuan glanced at her without saying anything. His chopsticks fell on the stir-fried pork with green peppers in front of him, and he felt inexplicably depressed.
When she faced that man, she smiled very happily. It seemed that she had never smiled at him like this since she was exiled.
"ah!!!"
Suddenly a scream pierced the sky and Jiang Wan was almost deafened.
When they were all attracted over, they found that the person screaming was Madam Song Er, and the reason she screamed was Chen Qian, who was lying motionless on the table.
It turned out that Shen Qian was tortured too severely, beaten several times, and had a fight with Madam Song Er.
Probably his internal organs were injured, and he lay lifeless on the table.
"What's going on?"
Ren Bang put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked a few steps to Chen Qian, and frightened Mrs. Song so much that she hurriedly explained.
“We don’t know either. She…she just came back and didn’t say anything. She just lay on the table to rest.
We thought she was tired and ignored her, but we didn't know she..."
Madam Song was frightened. Just now, Chen Qian had been called out by several officials and looked very bad when he came back.
But they all hated Chen Qian, so no one paid any attention to her and naturally no one noticed Chen Qian's abnormality.
Hearing this, Ren Bang frowned and placed his fingertips next to Shen Qian's nose to smell her breath.
As expected, she was no longer breathing. He took out a small notebook from his sleeve and recorded Shen Qian's death.
"Let's deal with it."
This kind of thing was commonplace for the police officers. With just one word from Ren Bang, the other police officers carried Shen Qian out directly.
Everyone who saw this scene felt a little sad. Their identities meant they were just thrown into the wilderness and couldn't even be buried.
"Actually, Chen Qian is quite pitiful."
Song Jiuli sighed, and facing the speechless eyes of her family members, she explained to herself:
"Of course, I'm not saying that what she did was right. You're right. There must be something hateful about pitiful people."
Although these officers were not good people, they had never abused women before. It was just that Chen Qian went too far and they were too angry.
"Just know it in your heart."
Song Jiuyuan glanced at Song Jiuli coldly, obviously very displeased with her saintly attitude.
Madam Song rubbed the top of Song Jiuli's head and said, "My girl, take care of yourself first."
Everyone was silent, but Jiang Wan was fine. After dinner, Ren Bang found out that there was a market not far away and he would send people there to purchase supplies early tomorrow morning.
However, this time it was different. Everyone had little money left after being confiscated, so not many people needed to take anything with them.
Chen Ce opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but probably because he had no money, he couldn't hold back.
Jiang Wan thought about the need for seeds in the space and was immediately interested, so when Xiao Deng and Lao Zhang set out the next day, Jiang Wan also quietly started to explore.
"Jiang Wan."
Song Jiuyuan, who was sleeping next to Song Jiuchi, called Jiang Wan softly, and Jiang Wan paused slightly.
She turned around stiffly and met Song Jiuyuan's eyes that saw through everything. She hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, I won't run away. I'm just going to the market to buy some supplies."
"I know."
Song Jiuyuan's eyes were deep. If she wanted to run away, she wouldn't have to come back last time, so he believed her.
"This... you can pawn it."
Song Jiuyuan opened his palm, and in the darkness Jiang Wan saw a jade pendant lying on his palm.
Although she couldn't see the quality clearly due to the unclear vision, Jiang Wan had a hunch that this thing wouldn't be too bad. After all, it was something that belonged to the big villain.
"No, I still have some money."
She refused directly, but Song Jiuyuan insisted, "You can take it. The weather is getting cold, so buy some warm things."
He stuffed the jade pendant into Jiang Wan's hand, and Jiang Wan had no choice but to take it. It felt warm and cool to the touch, and it was an extremely good jade pendant.
