Chapter 133 Promise
Soon, news spread that Pei Yunzhu, the second daughter of the Pei family, was bitten by a poisonous snake and her life was in danger. Prime Minister Pei was furious, and this alarmed the emperor, who sent his most powerful imperial physician over.
Jiang Yueyao was sitting under a big tree in the yard when she heard the news.
The injured foot was resting on a footstool, and on a small table beside it were freshly washed grapes. I heard they were just brought from a village near the villa, and they were very sweet and juicy.
She dropped a grape into her mouth and nearly choked when she heard this.
"Ahem...who are you talking about?"
"Pei Yunzhu." Shen Baoqing also threw a grape into her mouth. It was sweet and delicious, making her squint her eyes in comfort. "This person has done too many bad things. Retribution will come sooner or later."
She spat out the grape skin and put another one in her mouth.
While eating, he said, "I have always suspected that she was the one who bit you by the snake."
"Anyway, either she did it or her sister did it. Both of them are not good people."
It feels bad to be bitten by a poisonous snake.
Although Jiang Yueyao hated the two sisters of the Pei family, she couldn't say anything because they were unconscious and their life or death was uncertain.
He only asked, "The emperor went hunting, and the forest had been cleared clean long ago. Where did the snake come from?"
"No matter how clean it is, it's still a mountain. Danger is everywhere, especially the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. I also heard that they crossed the line and went into the deep mountains and forests before they were bitten."
"So that's how it is. What about Pei Yunjin? Is she okay?"
"She wasn't in any better shape either. I heard that she fell off her horse in a hurry while trying to stop Pei Yunzhu from entering the mountains, and her calf was broken."
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyao sighed, but at the same time became afraid.
"Why hasn't the master come back yet?"
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps at the door.
When she turned around, she saw Lu Sui.
He was wearing a black riding suit and holding a rattan cage in one hand. The cage was covered with a black cloth, and weak cries came from below.
As soon as Jiang Yueyao saw Lu Sui, she hurriedly got up from her chair.
Hopping on one foot, she went towards him.
"My lord, you are finally back."
Seeing her jumping towards him, Lu Sui quickly reached out to hold her arm and said, "Just sit still. Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm worried about you. I just heard that Pei Yunzhu was bitten by a snake. I thought it was unsafe in the mountains and forests, so I've been looking forward to your return."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice calling.
So he looked down in the direction of the sound.
Seeing that the emission came from the thing he was holding, he reached out and tore open the black cloth. When he saw the fawn inside, his eyes lit up.
Shen Baoqing was also attracted and saw that it was a pure white little elk. He reached out to grab it, but Lu Sui dodged him.
He glanced at her and handed the cage to Jiang Yueyao.
"Just keep it for fun. I'll go wash it first and come back later."
"Um."
After Lu Sui left, Shen Baoqing snatched the cage away.
She sat back down, placed the cage on the table in front of her, and looked at the little elk inside, which couldn't even walk yet. "Daddy, Mommy, Lord Lu is so cruel! This little guy hasn't been weaned yet, has he?"
Jiang Yueyao sat opposite her, holding her chin with both hands, looking at the little guy crying inside, thinking about her own life experience,
She was abducted by human traffickers...
So liking someone becomes a burden.
I thought I would wait for Lu Sui to come, talk to him, and send the little guy back.
Lu Sui came over quickly.
He changed into a summer brocade robe, a light blue brocade robe, which was different from the dull and cold dark clothes he usually wore, and made him look a lot younger.
He sat down next to Jiang Yueyao.
Seeing that she wasn't in high spirits, he asked, "Don't you like it?"
"No, I like it very much, but it's too small, a little pitiful."
"It's quite pitiful." Lu Sui took the teacup from the table beside him, picked it up and took a sip, then continued, "Its parents became the prey of hunters. If I hadn't brought it back, it might have died in the mountains tonight."
Jiang Yueyao and Shen Baoqing were both stunned.
"Then you've done a good thing." Shen Baoqing hugged the cage and asked Jiang Yueyao, "Lend it to me for two days."
"Of course you can, but you have to take care of it. It's still so small now. Qingqing, can you take care of it?"
"I can't do it, but the people around me can't do it, right? My aunt happens to drink goat's milk, so I'll just feed it." She picked it up and walked away. "Yaoyao, I'll come and play with you tomorrow."
"Well, bring it here tomorrow."
"I know."
After Shen Baoqing left, Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Sui.
"I heard Pei Yunzhu was bitten by a poisonous snake and is now in critical condition. Is this true, sir?"
Lu Sui finished his tea and played with the teacup without raising his head.
The voice is neither fast nor slow.
"I just came back from the Emperor and heard something, but I don't know the details."
Then he looked up at her: "Are you heartbroken?"
"Me?" Jiang Yueyao found it funny. "What does her life or death have to do with me? I just think it's strange. She doesn't look very courageous. Why would she go into the deep mountains? I heard there are really tigers there."
Qingshu came in from outside, carrying a basket of eggs and a basket of melons.
"It was sent by a nearby villager, who wanted to thank the master for saving his child."
"Ah?" Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Sui hurriedly, "Sir, you saved a child today?"
"Well, I got lost on the mountain, so I sent someone to take me back."
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she looked at Lu Sui with eyes that flashed with admiration and worship.
"Sir, why are you so nice? I can't take it anymore. I'm almost fascinated by you. You have to compensate me..." As she said that, she was about to fall towards Lu Sui, but soon, her body was held down by the other party.
"Just talk, don't move around, you're not girly at all." Although the words were harsh, he still ordered Qingshu, "Return the eggs, and leave the cantaloupe. Wash it for the girl to taste."
"My Lord, do you think I didn't refuse? I said I wouldn't accept anything, but someone knelt down, weeping, and expressed their gratitude. If I didn't accept it, how could I repay this life-saving grace? I would have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life."
"I had no choice but to take it."
Hearing this, Lu Sui raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yueyao.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"I can't live in peace if I don't repay the favor of saving my life."
"Jiang Yueyao, count how many times I have saved you?"
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she counted on her fingers very seriously: "One, two, three, four, five times..."
"Oh, sir, you saved me five or six times."
"Heh..." Lu Sui sneered without saying anything.
"But I've already said it, I'll repay you with my life."
"If you think one time is not enough, how about six times?"
"I'm going to be your mistress sooner or later anyway, so why not wait until my leg heals and then we can get this done? What do you think?"
