Chapter 473 I never expected the lady to be like this.
Dongzang's expectant expression slowly froze, and then in the next second he suddenly leaped up and rushed towards the spot where the lightning had fallen.
Lightning lay in the snow, its eyes still open, its beak agape, and its tongue lolling out. Half a pear, already black, was clutched in its claws.
"Lightning! Lightning! Don't die!" Dongzang immediately picked up Lightning and rushed back to Jiang Nuanzhi, sweat beading on his forehead. "Madam! Madam, please save it! It...it...it is the General's treasure. If it dies here, we will both be beaten to death by the General."
"Really?" Jiang Nuanzhi slowly flicked the pear crumbs off her clothes. "Yeah, serves it right. Who told it to steal my food?"
Dongzang's eyes widened suddenly, he swallowed hard, and tentatively asked, "Um, Madam, could Lightning be poisoned?"
A hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Nuanzhi's bright and clear eyes: "Yes, you guessed right."
Dongzang's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg: "Madam, that Lightning is a general in the army, and it can't be touched. Its status in the general's heart is truly extraordinary. Please save it! It seems to be dying."
"Now you're getting anxious? Who told you to let it steal my food?"
Then, Jiang Nuanzhi patted Dongzang with a smile: "Didn't anyone tell you not to steal food from the doctor, or you might die?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nuanzhi's nonchalant words, Dongzang suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. He inexplicably recalled the canned food he had stolen from the cellar that morning, and immediately took two steps back, staring nervously at Jiang Nuanzhi's extremely beautiful yet seemingly harmless face. After a while, he swallowed hard and said:
"Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. But it really can't die. If it dies, how can I explain it to the General?"
Jiang Nuanzhi raised her narrow eyes slightly: "That's easy to say. Just tell them that you let it steal the lady's pears and then it was poisoned to death."
If Dongzang still didn't realize that her mistress was angry at this point, she would be a fool. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, which she rejected one by one. Then, the next second, she grabbed Jiang Nuanzhi's clothes tightly: "Madam, I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart. You saved Lightning, and the General will definitely treat you very kindly. He will definitely remember your kindness. I promise I won't tell the General that you drugged Lightning! I'll just say it stole some food. How about that?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled politely: "Just tell him, 'You're still being so gentle?' He can try not being gentle."
Then, he cracked his whip and shouted, "Giddy up!"
He drove the carriage straight past Dongzang and the lightning bolt she was holding.
Dongcang was dumbfounded.
Dongzang was bewildered.
Winter has been gone for a while.
"No! Something's not right!"
"Why isn't Madam following the expected pattern?"
Isn't it said that women care a lot about their husbands' attitudes?
Is the lady's reaction appropriate?
Speaking of which, the general used to have a fiancée, she wasn't like this before. She casually mentions the general and then offers him everything. She's much more generous with people like them, she's never acted like this before.
As the carriage drove away into the distance, Dongzang truly panicked.
At that moment, she vaguely realized that the person in front of her was not only the general's wife, but also a physician. Obviously, she was a very capable physician, and there was still a temple dedicated to her in Canglin City.
Thinking back on it carefully, it seems that their general had always been very attentive and considerate to the lady, afraid that she might be even slightly uncomfortable, and he had repeatedly warned them.
Now, considering the lady's attitude, Dongzang felt somewhat uncertain.
If Lin Chun were here at this moment, she would definitely curse him as an idiot in her heart. Lin Chun's eyesight had long since seen who the real kingpin in this family was.
Of course, spring is not here at this moment; there is only a bewildered winter hibernation.
They frantically chased after the carriage.
While chasing, he shook the lightning bolt, shouting, "Wake up! Don't die, God!"
"Madam, Madam, please wait!"
With a light step, Dongcang leaped onto the car, grabbed Jiang Nuanzhi's arm, and began to wail.
"Madam, please, save us! Save the eagle's life, and save your good Dongcang too! From now on, you will never point east, never west, and never north! Save us, or the general will really tear me apart!"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over and thought, "Hmm, this time the crying is much more genuine."
Then, seeing that Lightning had been shaken half to death by Dongzang, he finally tightened the reins, let out a "whoosh," and took Lightning from Dongzang under his anxious gaze.
He casually pulled a small bottle from his pocket, waved it in front of Lightning's nose a couple of times, and Lightning suddenly jerked. It shook its head, flailed twice, and got up.
Then, it suddenly tilted its head, its eagle eyes staring straight at Jiang Nuanzhi, as if it was still somewhat unconvinced. Then it flapped its wings and charged towards Jiang Nuanzhi, stretching its neck.
Then, Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed the base of his wing with one hand and pinched his neck with the other, instantly rendering Lightning unable to move.
Then, Lightning stared intently at Winter Retreat as if pleading for help.
"Hey, it's pretty smart. Not only did it know that I knocked it out, it also knew to call for help!" Jiang Nuanzhi found it increasingly intriguing, her narrow eyes fixed on the lightning with great interest.
Dongzang swallowed hard, then stared at Jiang Nuanzhi's pale hands gripping Shandian's neck, and involuntarily shuddered.
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
Well, Lightning, don't look at me, there's nothing I can do.
Who would have thought that this petite and beautiful lady was actually like this?
Especially when he saw the corners of Jiang Nuanzhi's mouth curl up, for a moment, he felt that she was even more terrifying than the silent general.
It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together.
In a daze, a thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately took out the letter from her bosom and presented it respectfully with both hands: "Madam, the general sent Lightning to deliver this letter to you. You see, this is what Lightning brought back."
As he spoke, he still stole glances at Jiang Nuanzhi's hand that was gripping Shandian's neck, nervously observing Jiang Nuanzhi's expression.
"A letter?" Jiang Nuanzhi casually took it and then stuffed Lightning's neck into Dongzang's hands.
"We've caught you. If you run away, I'll hold you accountable."
In the blink of an eye, Dongzang had already grabbed Lightning's neck.
The man and the eagle suddenly met eyes, and a long silence ensued.
Dongzang hesitated and hesitated again, but in the end he didn't dare to let go. He only looked at the lightning with guilt, and then loosened his grip as much as possible to avoid strangling it.
He subconsciously glanced at the lady beside him, only to see her frowning as she looked at the letter.
For a moment, even lightning tilted its head to look at Jiang Nuanzhi.
Dongcang couldn't keep it a secret any longer and leaned closer, asking, "Madam, what did the General say?"
