He turned around and searched the yard, but couldn't find Jiang Lu. His heart skipped a beat.
His throat was a little dry, and he didn't even dare to look Jiang Bai in the eye. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I...I don't know."
These two suddenly broke into the Jiang family home. If Jiang Lu hadn't discovered them in time, cut the lock on their door with a dagger, and given the dagger to them, he and Jiang Lu and her brother would probably have been in grave danger.
Seeing his appearance, Jiang Bai suppressed the anger in his chest.
"Then we'll wait until the thieves wake up before asking. If you recruited these two people, Ji Yanwen... no, Ji Mo, you should know that the Jiang family can't let you live."
Ji Yanwen stiffened and said in a muffled voice, "I understand."
He leaned against the wall, watching Jiang Bai tidy up the yard and then go into the kitchen to make breakfast, without saying another word to him during that time.
He was drugged and, although he was conscious, he had little strength and could only sit there obediently, watching the thief who was tied up and thrown into the yard.
He also wondered if he had really brought this trouble upon himself.
He was both upset and confused. At the break of dawn, the man who had been knocked unconscious by Jiang Bai groaned and woke up.
Ji Yanwen's eyes lit up. Just as he was about to call Jiang Bai out, she came out of the kitchen, grabbed the man, and slapped him twice across the face.
"Who are you? Who sent you here?"
The man was still dazed and confused when Jiang Bai slapped him twice, leaving him stunned. Hearing Jiang Bai's question, he instinctively shut his mouth and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
"Not going to talk?"
Jiang Bai felt like a volcano was burning inside him. Seeing that this person didn't know what was good for him, he pressed down on the man's shoulder with one hand, mobilized his own strength, and poured a burst of internal energy into the man's body. The man's shoulder swelled up, as if something was about to break through the barrier of flesh and blood.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
The intense pain stimulated his nerves, and he recounted everything in a rambling manner. Upon hearing that the two people had come for Jiang Bai, Ji Yanwen breathed a sigh of relief.
She was both relieved that her identity had been well concealed and had not been discovered, and relieved that she could still stay in the Jiang family.
Strange, why is he so glad that he can still stay in the Jiang family?
He thought strangely.
After learning the whole story, Jiang Bai looked embarrassed. She had thought that Ji Yanwen had caused the trouble, but she never expected that she was the culprit.
Thinking that he deliberately didn't help the person into the room to lie down, but instead let him sit by the wall with his injuries for most of the night, he felt a little guilty.
“That… Scholar Ji.”
"snort."
Once he realized what was happening, Ji Yanwen snorted and turned his face away. Not only did she lock his door when she left, but she also gave him the cold shoulder when he helped protect her younger brother and sister. Didn't he have any pride?
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jiang Bai simply stepped forward and picked him up in his arms.
"Ah, Jiang Bai, what are you doing? Put me down."
Poor Ji Yanwen, a tall man over 1.8 meters, was carried into the house in a princess carry by Jiang Bai. Now, not only his ears and face, but even the skin on his neck turned red.
Jiang Bai diligently brought him hot water to wash his feet, put his legs on the bed, and then took out some ointment to apply medicine to the wounds on his feet that had been rubbed raw.
The cool ointment was applied to his feet, and Ji Yanwen instinctively pulled his feet back. Jiang Bai pressed down on his ankles and said, "Don't move."
He looked at her and saw her looking serious as she gently applied the ointment with her fingertips.
"sorry."
Suddenly, he heard her voice in his ear. Ji Yanwen pursed his lips, feeling a little angry, but when he thought of his own status, he calmed down. After all, even he himself thought that the two people were after him last night.
"It's not your fault. My true identity is indeed a bit troublesome and could potentially bring you danger."
"Don't worry, after I start studying, I can live in the academy. That way, if there's any danger, it won't affect you."
Jiang Bai paused slightly, thinking that this person hadn't even had time to put on shoes last night, resisting those two thieves until she returned, and her conscience began to ache.
If it weren't for him, Jiang Lu and the other two might have been captured by those two.
"How big is your trouble?" She hesitated for a moment before speaking. If it wasn't too big, she could protect him.
Of course, if the person is very old, it's best to send them to the academy as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble.
Ji Yanwen remained silent.
Okay, Jiang Bai understands. It seems this trouble is no ordinary one.
"Heh, heh, you hurt your hand, so you should stay in bed for the next couple of days."
"By the way, I hunted a few pheasants last night. I'll kill them for you to help you recover. Anyway, we're not really husband and wife, so you don't need to observe mourning for my father."
Jiang Bai didn't want to get into big trouble, so he thought he should make it up to him.
"No need. Propriety cannot be disregarded. Now that I have entered the Jiang family, I am a member of the Jiang family in life and in death. The rules that should be followed must still be followed." He was not an irresponsible person who insisted on marrying Jiang Bai. Although he did not want to be married by the government, he was not using Jiang Bai as a shield.
Whether she admits it or not, she is his wife.
Of course, if he were still alive after that incident.
Ji Yanwen lowered his head and buried his face in the blanket.
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, and even after leaving the room, he was still a little confused, not understanding what Ji Yanwen meant.
"Sister, sister, you're finally back."
