Chapter 128 I'm fine
Ruan Mian cleaned the child and handed him over to Wang.
She continued to deal with the follow-up matters until Chen was out of danger, and then she walked out of the house exhausted.
At this moment, Zheng Yang's body had been dragged away for disposal, and the man who stabbed Zheng Yang to death was still standing at the door waiting for Ruan Mian.
"Madam Ruan, are your young mistress and child safe?"
After seeing Ruan Mian nod, the man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright! It was a real close call just now. Fortunately, Madam Ruan, you realized that something was going to happen today, otherwise... I wouldn't have dared to do anything..."
Hongwu felt a little embarrassed when he said this. In fact, his hands were still shaking.
It turned out that Ruan Mian also saw Zheng Yang burying his sworn brother that night.
That night she originally went to the hot spring to take a bath, but she didn't expect to see that scene when she came back. After Hongwu and others were threatened by Zheng Yang, she took action.
Zheng Yang and Hongwu said that once Minister Dong and Ruan Qingsong were not in the house, they would go to Ruan's house and kill all the children of Ruan Mian's family.
By then, even if Ruan Qingsong and his men come back, they will have no evidence.
As expected, it wasn't long before news came that there were soldiers nearby. It was obvious that it was just Zheng Yang's strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
But he never thought that he had already been trapped by Ruan Mian, and it was just that Chen's delivery was an unexpected situation.
Otherwise, she should have killed Zheng Yang herself.
Since the matter of the officers and soldiers was Zheng Yang's strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, it is conceivable that Ruan Qingsong and his men must have returned empty-handed.
However, the fact that no news of the officers and soldiers was found was also good news for them.
However, on the other side, someone looked worried.
Zheng Yang's body was dragged into the woods by Hongwu and his men and thrown away.
Yuan Xi followed all the way, being cautious for fear of being discovered. She had thought that if Zheng Yang still had a breath left, she would see if she could rescue him.
But when she followed them, she only saw the two wild wolves gnawing on his corpse.
She was so frightened that she almost couldn't escape, and she only managed to escape by climbing up a tree.
After the wolves had eaten everything, she stumbled back to the house and woke Qi Nanfeng up in the middle of the night, her voice trembling and stammering.
"Sir...Zheng Yang, his assassination attempt failed and he was thrown into the woods to feed the wolves. I...I saw with my own eyes those wolves eat him!"
Just thinking back to that scene, Yuan Xi started to tremble uncontrollably and started to cry out of fear.
Qi Nanfeng clenched his palms tightly!
Then he held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "It's okay. He didn't succeed because he wasn't capable enough. He deserved to be fed to the wolves. It has nothing to do with us."
"But sir...if Zheng Yang doesn't succeed, then wouldn't we have saved Ruan Mian from suffering?"
"Don't worry. I thought about it carefully yesterday. Actually, we just need to swallow our anger for a while. As long as the Wu Heng mutiny stabilizes, someone will naturally come to settle the score with them!"
"We just need to give each other the location to find her."
You know, Princess Chun's plan to kill Xie Huaian has not yet been realized, and she will definitely not give up.
Besides...she said she would come to find me, so there must be room for her to turn back!
After hearing what he said, Yuan Xi shyly rubbed against his arms, her face full of happiness...
At the same time, Ruan Mian quietly walked out of the house.
She was stained with blood today and was exhausted after working most of the day. She had already planned to go to the hot springs to take a nice hot bath late at night.
Enjoy some rare alone time.
But when she reached the hidden hot spring, she was shocked to find that there was already someone soaking in it!
She frowned slightly, hid herself immediately, and peeked inside through the gap in the bushes.
After realizing who it might be, Ruan Mian quickly turned around and tried to leave.
But unexpectedly, I heard that person's voice suddenly from behind.
"Madam Ruan is already here, why are you leaving?"
Ruan Mian paused, and seeing that Xie Huaian had noticed, he simply stood there and replied calmly.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were taking a bath here. Sorry to bother you. In that case, it's not convenient for me to stay here. I'll come back another day..."
Before he could finish his words, the man walked out of the water silently.
Ruan Mian subconsciously turned around after hearing the sound of water, only to see him walking towards her with his upper body naked in the dim light.
Her eyes dodged a little, and she bent down to pick up the clothes not far away. She handed the clothes over only after Xie Huaian came to her.
When my eyes met his burning gaze, my heart suddenly beat faster.
Although Ruan Mian was a time traveler, there were differences between men and women, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little uncomfortable being so frank with each other out of the blue.
So her eyes looked a little embarrassed.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the bushes nearby. Before Ruan Mian could react, Xie Huaian suddenly rushed over at an extremely fast speed, grabbed a stick and stabbed it hard at the place where the noise came from!
Soon a weasel was seen impaled on a stick and killed.
Ruan Mian was stunned.
"Sir...you have great skills..." She knew that Xie Huaian was skilled in martial arts, but she didn't expect him to be so skilled.
But...isn't he a sick person? He always looks sick in front of me.
Now there is no trace of her usual frail look.
Ruan Mian looked at him suspiciously: "Sir, your health has already recovered, right?"
Hearing this, Xie Huaian smiled lightly, and suddenly his legs went weak, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
It was Ruan Mian who was quick to support him and prevent him from falling.
"I don't think I look good at all. I was just worried it was pursuers, but who would have thought it was just a rat."
Ruan Mian watched his clumsy performance quietly and ruthlessly exposed him.
"Sir, please don't joke with me. I know you are in good health. Your previous weakness in front of me was just an act, right?"
Xie Huaian coughed lightly, and seeing that she had seen through it, he touched his nose and calmly began to put on his clothes.
"Mianmian is indeed very clever. I can't hide anything from you. But I did it for my own reasons. I hope... you can continue to cooperate with me in the future."
"Cooperate?"
"Well, continue to take care of me, treat my illness, and show me extra care."
Although Ruan Mian didn't understand why he had to do this, she chose to believe him.
"Since the Lord has asked me for help, there is no reason for me to refuse."
Xie Huaian stared at her, an involuntary smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
When he saw Ruan Mian was about to leave, he suddenly walked in front of her and covered her eyes with the belt in his hand.
"Aren't you here to soak in the hot springs? You've been stained with blood and worked so hard today, you should relax. Go in, I'll stay here for you."
"Don't worry, I won't peek like someone else. If you don't trust me, just come in with your clothes on. You'll feel comfortable too."
"How could I be peeping? Please don't misunderstand me, sir! I just happened to see it, you..."
