Chapter 22: Probably the most courageous girl in the whole capital~
When they placed the man face up on the deck, the housekeeper, Qing'er and Gui'er were all shocked.
It turned out to be Marquis Jin'an!
Jiang Lan was not surprised, because when the man was soaking in the water, she recognized the black jade ring on his hand, the hair crown on his head, and the clothes on his body. She had seen them all before.
"Miss, this...this..." The butler was so surprised that he stuttered. The next moment he was shocked by Jiang Lan's behavior. Qing'er and Gui'er were also shocked.
She stretched out her foot and kicked Qi Wuhan, who had his eyes closed and seemed to be unconscious.
She actually dared to kick the famous Marquis of Jin'an. She must be the most arrogant girl in the whole capital.
Seeing that no one moved, she said calmly, "Carry the person in first."
So the two bodyguards, one lifting his head and the other lifting his feet, carried the man into the cabin.
Ling Feng hid on the shore and watched his master soaking in the water holding a piece of driftwood for more than half an hour. Finally, he was pulled ashore, and he left with the black-armored guards without worry.
When the two bodyguards carried the man into the room, he woke up slowly and asked with a confused and innocent look on his face, "Where am I?"
She knew that this scoundrel was pretending.
After the two bodyguards put the man down, Qi Wuhan covered his chest with one hand, looking like he was seriously injured. "Was it the Second Miss who saved me?"
"It's just a life-saving favor. My Lord, you don't have to take it to heart." Jiang Lan watched his performance quietly.
Qi Wuhan immediately put on a serious look and said solemnly, "This Marquis has always been a man of honor, and I will definitely repay the Second Miss well in the future."
Jiang Lan didn't respond. This guy always had some slick words waiting for her.
At this time, the housekeeper came over with Doctor Liu.
As soon as he saw the Marquis of Jin'an, Doctor Liu lowered his head in fear. The psychological trauma left by the other party last time was still there.
"Divine Doctor, please take a look at me," Qi Wuhan said with a hint of joking, "How serious is my injury?"
"Excuse me, where is the Marquis injured?" Divine Doctor Liu was terrified, especially the word "divine doctor" made him feel very pressured.
"I seem to have an injury on my back." As he said this, he raised his hand to untie his belt, and his playful peach blossom eyes deliberately glanced in Jiang Lan's direction. She immediately turned her back and hurried away with Qing'er and Gui'er.
After Jiang Lan left, Qi Wuhan didn't really take off his clothes, and his body didn't look as weak as when she was there.
About an hour later, the butler arrived and saw that the light in Jiang Lan's room was still on. He knocked on the door, and Gui'er opened it. Jiang Lan was reading in her room when the butler came over and said, "Miss, the Marquis said he has something important to discuss with you privately." The butler paused, stepped forward, and lowered his voice, "It concerns the eldest son."
When Jiang Lan came over, Qi Wuhan was leaning against the head of the bed, resting, with his jet-black hair casually draped over his shoulders, as if he had just taken a shower. His clothes were slightly open, revealing a hint of his well-proportioned collarbone. His beautiful and charming peach blossom eyes were shining with bewitching luster under the light, and his lips were rosy, as if stained with blood, which deepened the enchanting and deep aura, dangerous and charming, leading people to sink into it.
"Come and sit down." Qi Wuhan patted the edge of the bed.
Like a male vixen seducing people, his peach blossom eyes became even more charming.
Jiang Lan stood still and didn't move any closer. "My Lord, don't you have something important to tell me? Go ahead."
"Cough..." Qi Wuhan clenched his fist and coughed, "Second Miss, can you pour me a cup of tea?"
Jiang Lan turned around and was about to leave.
"Miss Second, don't you want to know whether your eldest brother's situation is good or bad now?" Qi Wuhan said calmly.
Jiang Lan paused, then walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him.
"Second Miss must be calling me a despicable villain in her heart." Qi Wuhan took a look at her calm and indifferent expression as he took the tea, and slowly drank a cup of tea, as if he was really thirsty.
"My Lord, can you speak now?" Jiang Lan showed a hint of a smile on her face, which indicated that she had almost reached her limit of patience.
"Only a few people in Sangcheng have fallen ill, so the situation isn't serious," Qi Wuhan said as he handed over the teacup. Seeing that he was talking about serious matters, Jiang Lan relaxed her guard. When she raised her hand to take the teacup, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. The cold and dark aura from his body instantly surrounded her, as if he wanted to imprison her like in her previous life. She couldn't help but shiver and her body trembled slightly.
"Let go." Her calm tone seemed to be trying her best to restrain a hysterical outburst. If he made any further moves, she would definitely peck out her feathers like a desperate bird, even if it meant getting herself covered in bruises.
As if sensing the emotion that was about to explode, Qi Wuhan let her go.
Jiang Lan left immediately, like a bird that had escaped from a cage and never looked back.
"Your brother will be fine."
Hearing this, she paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and left.
Qing'er, who was waiting outside, saw the door suddenly open and Jiang Lan rushed out. She hurriedly followed her and wanted to ask if something happened, but seeing that Jiang Lan looked not good and a little scary, she did not ask any more questions.
Qi Wuhan looked down at the empty teacup and for the first time in his life, he reflected on himself, wondering if he had acted too hastily.
Jiang Lan didn't go back to her room. Instead, she stood on the deck outside for a while. The cool night breeze gradually extinguished the irritability that was surging in her heart. After she calmed down completely, she said to Qing'er in a calm tone, "Go back."
She didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, but her sleep was not peaceful. She dreamed that the woman who was most favored by the six palaces appeared in front of her and said to her, "You are just a substitute, how pitiful..."
When Jiang Lan woke up, it was almost noon. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly. She felt that she should not have poked him with the pole last night. She should have hit him with the pole and hit him hard a few times to teach him a lesson and never mess with her in this life.
After Qing'er and Gui'er helped her get up, they saw that her face was a little pale and asked if they wanted Doctor Liu to come and take a look.
Jiang Lan just wanted to have a chat with this miracle doctor, so she asked Qing'er to go and invite him over later.
"Miss, would you please wear this pair of butterfly hairpins today? They go well with your dress." Jiang Lan nodded, and Gui'er inserted the pair of jade-colored butterfly hairpins into her bun.
Jiang Lan looked at the face in the bronze mirror. It looked a little sad, with her brows slightly wrinkled. She raised her hand, tapped her eyebrows with her fingertips to relax them, and smiled at the mirror.
I heard that frowning all the time will make you age quickly, so she wants to smile more in this life and live to be a hundred years old.
After breakfast... or should I say lunch, Jiang Lan went to the deck and saw Qi Wuhan was there too. He was sitting by the railing with a bamboo pole, fishing. She turned around to leave but felt like she was giving in, so she pretended he didn't exist and leaned back in her chair, looking at the green hills on both sides like she did yesterday.
This time he didn't come over to harass her.
After a while, Qing'er came over with Doctor Liu.
"Sir, have you ever treated an epidemic before?" Jiang Lan asked humbly.
Doctor Liu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, young lady. I will do my best to save you."
Jiang Lan thought to herself, "It seems he hasn't been cured before. I believe that the doctor will do his best. But there are some things that need to be made clear in advance."
Jiang Lan paused at this point, and Divine Doctor Liu, sensing an inexplicable pressure, said respectfully, "Young lady, please speak." She continued, "Father and the entire Shangshu Mansion have high hopes for you, elder brother. With your talent, you will surely pass the imperial examination next spring. As long as you do your best, father and brother will never let you down in the future." She stood up again and bowed to Divine Doctor Liu. "I leave everything in my hands, sir."
"Miss, please stand up quickly. I will do my best to cure the eldest young master!" Doctor Liu was flattered and almost said something like "I will fight to the death for you."
Although Zhang had previously given him the negative suggestion that "life and death are determined by fate, there's no need to force it," and that it was okay if he couldn't give his all, after hearing what Jiang Lan said, he changed his mind. If he could cure the patient, he wouldn't have to worry about having a backer in the future.
