Jiang Ling looked up at him, slightly dazed, with admiration in her eyes.
Wanran has a gorgeous appearance. She thought that if she wore a red dress and had a more enchanting posture, she would be a charming little elf.
But at this moment, he was dressed in a green shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, his expression indifferent, but he only gave people a sense of coolness and transcendence.
Wan Ran heard the noise, turned around, took two steps in her direction, and called out to her, "Miss Jiang is here."
"Well, I heard you have something to talk to me about." Jiang Ling walked into the yard and motioned him to sit down at the stone table under the osmanthus tree.
She considerately dismissed everyone else, leaving only the two of them in the small courtyard, and the air was quiet for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Ling didn't rush and slowly sipped the tea.
Wanran thought for a moment and said, "Wanran just wants to ask, why did Miss Jiang save me?"
Jiang Ling looked up and caught a glimpse of inquiry and wariness in his eyes.
Yes, his current situation is special and dangerous. When he meets someone like her who is willing to redeem him and arrange a place for him to live, he should be on guard.
He might be afraid that he is on the side of the current emperor, and has already known his identity and is here to control him.
Jiang Ling lied calmly, "I just admire you. You asked me this question last time."
She looked at him calmly with a frank expression, which made Wanran wonder for a moment whether he was overestimating her kindness and was being a little ungrateful.
"I saw you lying injured on the side of the road, and I felt pity for you. I didn't want to pry into your affairs, so I guessed that your injuries might have been caused by Boss Huang. I didn't want you to suffer any more, so I rescued you. That's all."
Jiang Ling's eyes were sincere and she spoke slowly, allowing him to speculate and test her.
She added: "If you don't want to be confined to this small courtyard, you can leave at any time without informing me."
Wanran looked at her straight for a long time, and finally gave in.
He lowered his eyes and apologized, "Wan Ran has had a rough life, so I dare not trust others easily. I hope the young lady can forgive me."
"I understand." Jiang Ling smiled.
Wan Ran pursed his lips and said, "Miss Jiang, I will always remember your kindness in saving my life. If you need me in the future, please let me know."
Jiang Ling was not polite and responded generously, "After hearing what you said, if you want to watch singing and dancing next time, Ling'er will not be polite."
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.
Wan Ran looked up at the small square courtyard, her eyes brightening with joy. "To be honest, young lady, I really like this courtyard. It's full of life, just like the mountains and rivers."
Jiang Ling nodded noncommittally and said with a smile, "Since you like it, just stay here and enjoy it."
The two had nothing else to say, only Wanran kept thanking her and saying in a roundabout way that he wanted to repay her.
For the first time, Jiang Ling felt that it could be so difficult to endure someone owing her a favor. She hurriedly said she had something to do and left.
-
After she went to Qingfeng Teahouse to find Cheng An and listened to her excitedly talk about Yue Weiqing, she returned to Jingnan Palace. She was just in time for dinner and went to the main courtyard only to find that her uncle and his family had arrived.
She lowered her head and ate obediently, and found that the atmosphere at the dinner table was temporarily stagnant.
My uncle's family all looked unhappy.
Needless to say, it must be about Yue Weiqing.
Sure enough, after a while, Meng Wanjie couldn't help but speak up: "If you ask me, this is a good thing. Otherwise, when Xiao Fei gets married and finds out about this, it will be too late and she will have no choice but to swallow her anger."
This was said by her mother.
In the book, the original Jiang Fei saw through Yue Weiqing's true character half a month after her marriage. She was heartbroken, angry and bitter. Later, she met such a shameless father-in-law and finally committed suicide by jumping into the water. Isn't it just like swallowing her anger?
Jiang Lianhai frowned and snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law is right, that boy is not a good person. Fortunately, before the Yue family proposed marriage, our daughter has no relationship with him at all."
Jiang Ling looked up at Jiang Fei and found that her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were sad and angry, so she sighed.
A wise man does not fall in love, thank goodness Xiao Jiang found a way out.
Otherwise, cousin Xiao Fei would have to suffer and count the days.
After Meng Wanjie started talking like this, everyone started talking at once, all looking indignant and resentful.
Jiang Ling also said a few words, but he felt greatly relieved in his heart. That was great, the matter was finally resolved.
However, there was still no progress in detoxifying Wanran. The information Xiaoyi brought back was all fruitless. Jiang Ling had no choice but to ask him to expand the scope and look around the capital.
The search for a doctor was in full swing when the imperial court suddenly issued an edict on November 10, stating that this year's autumn hunt would proceed as usual on November 15.
After hearing this, Jiang Ling felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here".
She has practiced horse riding and exercised her body for so long, and finally her skills will be put to good use.
In previous years, the autumn hunting was actually held in October. It was mentioned in the book that it was postponed for half a month after the sixth year of Liyuan. The first reason was that the results of the first formal imperial examination were not announced until mid-October. Another reason, Jiang Ling guessed, was related to the previous dynasty.
How could the emperor go on the autumn hunt happily without investigating these people and these things?
But now Jiang Ling is not sure.
After all, she disrupted some things after she came here, and now things are still a mess. I don’t know how Zhou Jingan and the others are doing with their investigation.
But the most important thing now is the autumn hunt in five days. At that time, she will meet another important female supporting character in the book, Chang Shu, the youngest daughter of Pingyang Hou Chang Wei.
