Chapter 338 You're guarding the donkey, and you're not even going to see the young master?
The young princess frowned, her face sinister: "Of course, that's not all. This princess is killing two birds with one stone."
Yu Chuan: "Huh?"
The young princess said with a profound and inscrutable expression, "Think about it, doesn't this meat prove my magnanimity? It makes her feel ashamed! Also, seeing how much meat I sent, those brats will definitely be grateful to me! When the general returns and knows that I took care of his children, his impression of me will definitely improve! So, it's killing several birds with one stone!"
Yu Chuan's lips twitched: "I thought it was because Doctor Jiang gave you two pieces of jerky a couple of days ago, and you felt indebted to him, so you returned the favor."
The young princess blinked twice: "What you say makes sense! I am certainly not the kind of person who owes anyone anything."
Yu Chuan: "But Doctor Jiang didn't accept it."
To be precise, Dr. Jiang said that meat was scarce at this time, and told them to keep it for themselves.
Of course, the princess took the meat back and cooked two large pots in front of Xie Liangchen, eating them all up. The young master Xie's page was so hungry that his saliva dripped into his rice bowl.
"Damn it!" The young princess said angrily, "She must not even want my flesh! I should just throw a bunch of silver at her and let her know how powerful I am."
Yu Chuan: "Princess, I doubt this will work. Didn't you try it last time? It seems that Physician Jiang doesn't care about money. Young Master Li even said that he wouldn't take a single penny from you."
The young princess glared angrily, "Li Junping, just you wait! Once I've dealt with this woman, I'll go and teach her a lesson."
Yuchuan: "."
In fact, the princess hadn't mentioned Young Master Li for several days. She only talked about Doctor Jiang and that wicked woman. She even moved with Doctor Jiang and accompanied him on house calls, seemingly more enthusiastic than when she was chasing after General Li.
“Yuchuan, I call this ‘capture the king first.’ Once I’ve dealt with her, her little brats will definitely be obedient and well-behaved. Then, we’ll have Li Junping’s good food! Let that brat show off to me! One day I’ll make him beg me.”
Then, he secretly peeked at Jiang Nuanzhi again.
Yuchuan: "."
Well, whatever makes you happy.
"Jiang Pangya, help! Help!"
Just then, a slightly mournful sound burst forth across the entire snow-covered landscape, shaking off some of the snow from the treetops.
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but stand up and look outside.
The snow was so thick that there wasn't a soul in sight.
At this moment, Liu Ma had her hands tucked into her sleeves, sniffling, and stood on tiptoe to look around, saying, "Judging from this voice, it sounds like that rascal from Xie's second son's side."
As soon as Aunt Liu finished speaking, a moment later, Afu was seen running towards Jiang Nuan's new house, his steps uneven.
As I got closer, I saw a human head.
"Hey, Dr. Jiang, the doctor you're looking for, is right here! Silly boy, where do you think you're going?"
Jiang Nuanzhi calmly withdrew her gaze. With Liu Ma's loud voice, there was no need for her to call him.
Afu heard the noise and looked over in this direction, bewildered.
Aunt Liu said very kindly, "I'm Aunt Liu. There's a path a few steps ahead, hurry up and come over."
Afu walked a few steps along the path and saw Jiang Nuanzhi. Relieved, he immediately ran towards her. The snowy path wasn't slippery, but he still stumbled along. Reaching her, he tried to pull her up, but upon meeting her slightly cold eyes, his rationality returned, and he obediently stood a little further away, saying, "Jiang Pangya... no, Doctor Jiang! You should go see our young master quickly, he's injured."
Jiang Nuanzhi immediately stood up, glanced at the donkey with some concern, and finally instructed Liu Ma, "Keep an eye on it, and call me immediately if anything happens." Then, she followed Afu toward Xie Liangchen's house.
Where are you hurt?
Afu: "Young Master was carrying hot water with me today, and he accidentally pinched his finger when closing the door. It's all my fault. Young Master is usually not good at these things. I should have kept a closer eye on him."
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned as she looked at him: "Is it serious?"
Afu nodded anxiously, "It's serious, of course it's serious. His fingernails are all purple. Young Master keeps crying out in pain."
Jiang Nuanzhi paused, then narrowed her eyes: "So he got his fingers caught in the door and can't walk anymore?"
Afu was taken aback: "Of course not."
Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath: "Since he can walk, let him come over. Can't you see I'm busy right now?"
Then she turned around and sat back down on her little stool, staring at the donkey in front of her.
Afu was stunned. He subconsciously followed anxiously back, looked at the donkey in front of him, then at Jiang Nuanzhi, and said incredulously, "You're actually guarding a donkey and not even checking on our young master!"
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "What's so special about it? Is your young master's finger more urgent than childbirth?"
Afu, however, looked utterly bewildered. He stared at Jiang Nuanzhi for a long while before finally managing to stammer, "But it's a donkey."
Jiang Nuan thought to herself, "Your master is no different from a donkey in her eyes." In the end, she didn't say it out loud, but only said, "You, go back immediately and tell Xie Liangchen that if he is in a hurry to treat his finger, ask him to walk to see me."
If he's not in a hurry, then he can stay home and rest. I'll go see him after I've finished delivering the donkey.
At the same time, the donkey seemed to start breathing rapidly again. Jiang Nuanzhi observed it and saw that it had started another round of contractions, so she went forward, put down the hand warmer, and touched the donkey's belly again.
Over the past two days, Jiang Nuanzhi has built up a trust with the donkey. The donkey doesn't reject his touch; it just tilts its head back and breathes heavily through its nose.
When Aunt Liu came to find her, the donkey was due to give birth in just a few days. Based on Aunt Liu's guess, Jiang Nuanzhi felt that it was very likely that her daughter, Xiao Li, was responsible.
There's a very high chance it will be a mule.
If that's the case, the baby donkey will be larger than a typical donkey calf. Even though she's managed to position the donkey correctly these past two days, she still feels a little uneasy.
Afu was completely stunned. He stared at Jiang Nuanzhi for a long while before angrily punching a snowdrift next to him.
He punched a hole in the snowdrift beside him, causing it to collapse halfway, burying him up to half his body. Enraged, Afu stomped his feet several times, emerged from the snow, pointed at Jiang Nuanzhi, and said with trembling lips, "You woman, you're simply..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ying Shengsheng was forced back by Jiang Nuanzhi's cold gaze. He simply turned his head, pulled a long face, and ran home as if someone owed him money.
Jiang Nuanzhi ignored him and simply watched the donkey quietly.
Yu Chuan, who was secretly observing from behind, gasped in shock, his face filled with disbelief: "Doctor Jiang really doesn't care about Young Master Xie's life or death?"
How could she bear to part with such a handsome face?
If the women who fawned over Young Master Xie back then knew this, they would probably be utterly astonished.
The young princess stroked her chin, staring intently at Jiang Nuanzhi, who was tending the donkey, for a long while before saying, "This woman is extraordinary."
If we could acquire it, that would be like...adding wings to a tiger.
