Ruan Meng turned her head, somewhat curious, and asked:
"Miss Sun, aren't you worried about living with strangers?"
Miss Sun smiled gently, "My brother will arrange everything. I've always been very lucky, and the doctor seems to be a very good person."
This time it was Ruan Meng's turn to be speechless.
This seems to be the first time Sun Chengen has seen Ruan Meng look embarrassed, and he inexplicably burst out laughing.
As the guards descended from the deck, Sun Chengen whispered something to them, his eyes darkening.
He bent down and asked his sister, "Can you handle coming to the island with your brother now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had gone to unnecessary lengths and looked up at Ruan Meng:
"I'm entrusting my sister to you, young lady!"
"There's a bit of trouble outside, so it's not a good time for you to come out. Everything will be fine once we get back to shore!"
Ruan Meng nodded, and Sun Chengen strode away.
A Yuan followed her out, and came down a moment later to tell Ruan Meng what had happened.
"Miss, young lady, the county magistrate of Beixian seems to be deliberately making things difficult for us; he's been following our ship the whole time..."
"But they have no right to search. The young master has already arranged for people to go ashore in advance, and someone will meet them. Miss and young lady don't need to worry."
Ruan Meng sat down and noticed that Miss Sun's face was a little pale. She took out her needle bag from her bosom and said, "I'll give Miss Sun acupuncture so you can sleep comfortably for a while?"
"When you wake up, you'll be on shore."
A-Yuan respectfully addressed Miss Sun:
"Don't worry, Miss, A-Yuan is right here beside you. You can sleep soundly!"
The maidservants also squatted to the side.
Miss Sun was somewhat lacking in energy; she rarely went out, and even less so when taking boat trips.
Although the He family's merchant ship was large, the waves were even bigger, and his stomach still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Ruan Meng inserted several needles into Miss Sun's head. When she pulled out the long needles, Miss Sun was already asleep.
The maid and A-Yuan, seeing their young mistress's peaceful expression, showed expressions of heartache.
A-Yuan brought over a clean blanket and said to Ruan Meng, "You've worked hard, girl! You should rest for a while too!"
Although A Yuan had been very polite to Ruan Meng before this trip, just as he said, he became even nicer to Ruan Meng because she helped treat Miss Sun.
When the boat clearly hit a rock, Ruan Meng became alert and came to her senses.
Miss Sun was still asleep, and her complexion was a little better than before.
There was no movement on the deck. After explaining to Ruan Meng, A Yuan left the cabin.
After a short while, Ah Yuan returned with a beaming smile.
"Miss, young lady, the county magistrate was summoned away by the prefect's men. Young Master personally came to greet us on the shore. There were two layers of people surrounding the area. Everything is alright!"
"Just now, the young master and the cousin said that this matter is not over!"
"Anyone who dares to delay Miss Biao's treatment, the young master says, won't mind being sent to feed the fish!"
"When the young master said that, the county magistrate was being summoned away. You don't know, the expression on his face at that moment was so satisfying!"
Ruan Meng smiled slightly. Sun Chengen's words were not directed at the county constable, but at the county magistrate and everyone who had designs on the Ruan family!
As the ship was about to dock, Sun Chengen and He Cong entered the cabin.
Sun Chengen saw his younger sister asleep and looked at Ruan Meng with concern.
Ruan Meng explained, "I just gave her acupuncture so she can rest a bit."
Sun Chengen nodded his thanks and prepared to pick up his younger sister, but Ruan Meng stopped him and asked the two of them:
"Can we continue sailing and disembark in Nanxian?"
When they left the island, they departed from Beixian County, which is why they remained within the sight of the Beixian County Commandant.
Now, Ruan Meng didn't want to cause any more trouble. Miss Sun's health was indeed weak, and it would be better to travel by water than to endure the hardships of traveling by carriage.
Sun Chengen turned around and said, "Isn't the young lady seasick? If we take another ride, the journey will be even longer than from Dongxian to the other side. Can the young lady handle it?"
Ruan Meng suddenly smiled, remembering what A Yuan had said earlier on behalf of her young master:
"Although the young master has a sharp tongue, he has a kind heart. As long as people are good to him..."
Ruan Meng thought of Song Shiwen and Fan Zili, who were still waiting on the shore. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the guards hurriedly run down from the cabin.
"Young Master, Young Master Cousin, something terrible has happened!"
