Chapter 538 Spoiled and Willful Wife VS Cowardly and Fearful Husband 30
She looked up at Shen Xunzhi on the bed, her surprise barely concealed.
"You said you studied under Jiang Jingzhi?"
Jiang Zhiyi leaned forward and carefully examined him.
My father served in the imperial court for many years, and his protégés and former officials were all over the court and the country, so it's not surprising.
It was quite a coincidence that she was able to run into her this time.
Shen Xunzhi struggled to sit up straighter.
Unfortunately, his injuries had not yet healed, and any movement aggravated the wound, causing him to gasp in pain.
“That’s right.” He endured the pain, his respect growing even stronger. “Three years ago, I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by Lord Jiang and taken under his wing to study the classics. However, I have been focused on preparing for the exams and have not been able to visit my mentor for half a year.”
“So that’s how it is…” Jiang Zhiyi’s brows and eyes relaxed considerably.
She had been considering whether to get to know him better, but upon hearing that he was her father's student, her attitude immediately warmed up.
Jun Yu watched quietly from the side. Seeing that the wariness in Jiang Zhiyi's eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced by a more intimate look, he knew that this relationship had made her lower her guard.
He picked up his teacup and took a small sip, then slowly interrupted her, "So, it seems we've all been caught in the crossfire, we're all on the same side. I was once a student of Lord Jiang, but later my family suffered a misfortune, and I had to go into business to make a living..."
Since that's the case, we're practically fellow disciples, so there's no need to stand on ceremony. Focus on recovering; don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyi understood that Jun Yu didn't want her to reveal her identity, so she went along with him and continued talking.
“That’s right, don’t be shy.” She looked at Shen Xunzhi’s pale face and added, “The doctor said you need to rest. You should stay at the inn for the next few days and make plans when your injuries have healed.”
Tears of gratitude welled up in Shen Xunzhi's eyes as he bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you both for your compassion. If it weren't for you two benefactors, I don't know what my situation would be like right now. But my father is seriously ill at home, and I am extremely anxious..."
At this point, he couldn't help but cough again, his brow furrowed with anxiety.
"Don't worry," Jun Yu comforted gently. "I've already had someone repair your carriage. Once your injuries have stabilized and everything is arranged, it won't delay your return home."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xunzhi said, "Such a great favor is beyond my ability to repay."
Jun Yu chuckled softly, "It was nothing, nothing to mention. But your injuries will require at least five days of rest, there's no use rushing it..."
He looked at Jiang Zhiyi and said, "Why don't we send someone to Young Master Shen's house to let him know that you are safe and sound, so that the old man won't worry?"
“Okay, then I’ll send someone to take care of it.” Jiang Zhiyi nodded.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jun Yu stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let Young Master Shen get some rest. My wife, let's go back to our room first."
Jiang Zhiyi got up and, before leaving, gave the servants a few more instructions, telling them to take good care of the child.
After we got back to the house...
Jiang Zhiyi asked, "You suspect that he deliberately impersonated Father's student in an attempt to get close to us?"
It seems Junyu must have had his reasons for saying that.
However, she was too impulsive and didn't think things through, almost revealing her family background completely.
These days, one should indeed be more careful when traveling, especially when it involves the Jiang family.
She didn't want to cause any trouble for the Jiang family.
"Husband, you are so thoughtful," Jiang Zhiyi praised him. "It's good that you stopped me."
Junyu turned his head to look at her, but did not deny what she said.
only……
The person appeared to be fine.
Jiang Jingzhi had many students, so it wasn't unusual for them to encounter a few.
Although he was indeed on guard, that wasn't the reason he interrupted her earlier.
He just didn't want the two of them to get too close.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Junyu felt very sour and unhappy.
