Chapter 537 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 29
The doctor, carrying his medicine kit, hurried with his guards toward the site of the overturned vehicle.
Jiang Zhiyi peered through the gap in the carriage curtain.
They carried the injured young man out.
The man's long robe was stained with blood, his face was as pale as paper, and there were beads of blood seeping from his forehead.
The doctor knelt down to take the man's pulse, then examined his eyelids, before taking out silver needles from his medicine box.
"Find a flat wooden board, and be careful not to move his body."
The guards immediately found a wide, sturdy wooden plank nearby and carefully lifted the man onto it.
The doctor quickly took out wound medicine and gauze... his movements were skillful and efficient.
Junyu sat inside the carriage, not paying much attention to the commotion outside.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyi kept looking outside, as if she wanted to see a good show, she couldn't help but say, "You should sit down properly. This person's background is unknown. After the doctor finishes treating him, we should leave quickly to avoid any trouble."
Her thoughts are always so strange.
The strange man was curious and wanted to see, while her own husband seemed to be in her way.
Not even a superfluous glance was given.
Not long after, the doctor returned, wiping his sweat, to report.
"Young master, young mistress, that young master's injuries have stabilized, but he needs to find a place to rest as soon as possible."
The servant hurriedly pleaded, "Sir, could you please help us again and take us to the nearest town? Our carriage has broken down, and we can't travel any further in a short time."
Junyu thought about it and agreed.
About three miles ahead is a town called Haiwan, which is quite prosperous. They plan to stay there tonight, and it's on their way.
Jun Yu nodded: "Then let's go together. We'll set off for Haiwan Town."
"Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, sir!" The servant bowed deeply in gratitude.
After the servant left, Jun Yu instructed the guards: "Send someone to watch over them and keep a close eye on them."
The convoy set off again.
The injured man was placed in another spare carriage and was cared for by a doctor.
Jiang Zhiyi looked out the window and said softly, "Judging from his clothes and appearance, he doesn't seem to be from an ordinary family, but rather like a young master from a scholarly family."
“The doctor said he has calluses on his hands, which means he’s not a pure scholar.” Jun Yu’s gaze was deep. “Let’s see what he has to say when he wakes up.”
Although the town of Haiwan is small, it is quite lively due to its location on a major transportation route.
The archway at the entrance of the town is inscribed with three powerful characters: "Haiwan Town".
Shops lined both sides of the street, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares rose and fell.
The guards had already made arrangements at the inn, and the carriage drove directly into a secluded corner in the inn's backyard.
"Young master, madam, the superior room has been prepared."
The waiter bowed and led the way, his eyes catching a glimpse of the guard's sword at his waist. Knowing this was a wealthy family, he became even more respectful.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi entered the guest room, she saw a light drizzle falling outside the window.
Fine raindrops pattered on the bluestone slabs, splashing water droplets.
She was gazing absently at the rainy scene when she suddenly heard a low groan coming from next door; the injured man had woken up.
"Shall we go take a look?"
"Okay." Jun Yu took Jiang Zhiyi's hand and led her out.
Jiang Zhiyi tried to break free, but failed, and could only let him lead her.
“When I’m not around, if you want to go anywhere, make sure your guards and maids accompany you. Don’t go out alone.” Jun Yu’s voice was deep. “The world is not peaceful these days. When you’re out and about, it’s best to be careful.”
"knew."
The two went into the next guest room, where the doctor was tidying up the medicine bowls.
The man on the bed stared blankly at the bed beam above his head.
When he saw Jiang Zhiyi and Jun Yu by the bedside, he struggled to sit up, but the movement aggravated his wound and made him gasp for breath.
"Don't move." Junyu pressed down on his shoulder. "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you should lie down and rest."
The man gasped for breath, his voice weak and hoarse: "My servant has already told me. Thank you both for saving me today. I will search for you in the sink."
"It was nothing, no need to be so polite." Jun Yu sat down at the table. "Why did you get into trouble here?"
Shen Xunzhi gave a bitter laugh and coughed as he said, "I was studying in the capital when a letter came from home a few days ago saying that my father was seriously ill, so I rushed home. But on the way, I was traveling too fast, and the driver lost control while trying to avoid a ditch… If it weren't for my benefactor, I'm afraid…"
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"My parents are still waiting for news from me. I'm really scared after this incident."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyi nodded in understanding.
He spoke calmly, and his brows carried a scholarly air; he truly resembled a learned man.
Jiang Zhiyi asked, "Young master, your speech is quite extraordinary. May I ask who your teacher is?"
Since he was studying in the capital, he had most likely already found an official to rely on.
Jiang Zhiyi thought about asking.
If you don't get along with the Jiang family, then there's no need to become close friends with them.
Shen Xunzhi leaned against the headboard, a hint of respect in his eyes, his voice weak but clear.
"I am ashamed to say that I was once guided by Minister Jiang Jingzhi for three years, and can be considered a disciple of Minister Jiang."
Jiang Zhiyi looked up and immediately became interested.
What a coincidence! I never expected that he was my father's student!
