Seeing that Zheng Yao was still unconscious, Jiang He shook his head helplessly and fed her a pill.
These are pills his sister gave him; he'll wake up soon after taking them.
Then, he said softly, "I'll go out first." After saying that, Jiang He turned and left.
Soon after, Zheng Yao slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she was filled with doubt.
When she saw the maid, she instantly remembered everything.
Her face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. The maidservant quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't cry, your health is important." But Zheng Yao cried even more bitterly.
Meanwhile, Jiang He waited anxiously outside the door. Upon hearing the crying, he immediately pushed the door open and came in.
Zheng Yao exclaimed, "Get away from me!"
What exactly does this guard want to do?
How could he just walk in like that?
Jiang He paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Scared? Too late."
Zheng Yao looked at him. This man looked decent enough, but how could he say such awful things?
Thinking about how the two had become intimate, Zheng Yao decided to throw caution to the wind and spoke without any restraint, "You lecherous scoundrel, get out!"
Seeing that her mistress was about to cry again, the maid immediately shooed her away, saying, "Sir, please, if you stay here, my mistress won't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tries."
Jiang He had no intention of leaving. "If things are unclear, you can marry me."
Thinking of this, Jiang He's face quickly turned cold.
If it weren't for him, this situation wouldn't have been resolved today.
If the person who fell into the water and the person who rescued them were not engaged, both parties would definitely be in trouble today.
Rivers cannot stand by and watch someone die.
It was obvious that those people on the shore were just watching the show.
Jiang He had heard of Consort Mei's audacity and recklessness. Even if she killed one or two people, the Emperor would just take it lightly and let it go, making only a gesture.
Zheng Yao's tears "whooshed" down.
Jiang He panicked and cried, "Don't cry. Even if I don't save you, you'll still marry me. I'm Jiang He."
"Boom!" Zheng Yao's mind exploded.
"You...you're Jiang He?" Zheng Yao stopped crying and immediately jumped off the bed, shoving Jiang He hard. "You were mute just now, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Jianghe: ......
Can someone change their expression that quickly?
"You didn't ask either!" Jiang He said.
The maid's face immediately lit up with a smile.
She doesn't have to die.
Jiang He looked at the master and servant pair as if they were fools. "Aren't you going to stop crying?"
“Why are you crying? I was hugged by my own husband. Who can gossip about me? I’ll have my father pull out his tongue.”
"Pfft!" Jiang He couldn't help but laugh.
Miss Zheng is quite interesting.
She was just crying a moment ago, but now she's acting all arrogant and domineering.
Just then, an anxious call came from outside, "Yao'er, Yao'er, are you inside?"
The maid opened the door, and Madam Zheng saw Jiang He and Zheng Yao standing face to face.
Madam Zheng quickly quickened her pace and stood between the two.
She glared at Jiang He, "Where did this lecher come from? What are you doing in the same room as my daughter?"
Jianghe: ......
He finally understood that Zheng Yao's temperament was just like Madam Zheng's; she would scold people without even knowing the facts.
Jiang He looked at Madam Zheng.
Only then did Madam Zheng get a clear look at the river...
He...he...is not...
What's going on now?
Zheng Yao tugged at her mother's sleeve. "He is the Second Young Master Jiang."
Madam Zheng recognized him by now and quickly adopted the air of an elder, saying, "You two aren't married yet; it wouldn't look good if word got out that you were sharing a room."
"Mother, it's too late. The rumors have already spread. It was Young Master Jiang who brought me here." Zheng Yao's explanation grew softer and softer.
Madam Zheng then realized what was happening.
The Imperial Concubine's maid said that Yao'er was in trouble, and she was so worried that she rushed over immediately.
The palace is the emperor's territory. Even if a young lady from a duke's mansion gets into trouble in the palace, she may not be able to get justice.
Then I saw my daughter with a man.
She was so angry she wanted to rush over and kill Jiang He.
Seeing the guard's clothes, he dared not act rashly.
Can't win...
"Tell your mother what happened?" Madam Zheng touched her daughter all over; she was not injured.
"Why did he hug you?" Even engaged couples shouldn't be so unseemly.
Zheng Yao blushed deeply.
"Madam Yue, don't you know what happened?" It's too early to call her mother-in-law.
Jiang He looked at the mother and daughter, and they both seemed to be not very bright.
"You tell me," Madam Zheng said, pointing to the maid.
The maid immediately knelt down and told the whole story.
Madam Zheng clutched her chest, "Consort Mei has gone too far."
The Imperial Concubine had lost ground to her, and now she was even trying to harm her daughter.
"Young Master Jiang, I apologize. My words were inappropriate."
Jiang He nodded. "Next time, make sure you understand the situation before you start yelling."
Mrs. Zheng:.......
She was just being polite, but he actually blamed himself.
Jiang He then turned to Zheng Yao and said, "If you can't outsmart others, don't go to the palace."
Zheng Yao: ......
He's already putting on airs like a husband, and his mother's still here.
Madam Zheng: ......
This also means I shouldn't have brought Yao'er into the palace. We're not even married yet, and I'm already interfering?
Jiang He didn't linger any longer, bowed, and left.
Madam Zheng watched Jiang He's departing figure, secretly pleased that he still knew to protect Yao'er.
She turned to look at Zheng Yao, only to see her daughter staring intently at Jiang He's back.
Madam Zheng waved her hand in front of her eyes, "Don't look anymore, the person is already gone."
Zheng Yao's face suddenly turned red.
Madam Zheng's face was full of smiles. "I was worried that he was a spoiled brat, but now it seems I can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yao blushed slightly. She recalled Jiang He holding her, and a sweet feeling welled up inside her.
Looking at her daughter's expression, Madam Zheng understood perfectly well that her daughter would no longer insist on not getting married.
However, she felt a lingering fear.
If someone else had rescued her daughter today, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
If it weren't for Jiang He, Yao'er would probably suffer a great loss.
I can't let my daughter continue to be so innocent and kind.
She wanted to teach her daughter some domestic skills so that she could protect herself.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it. Madam Jiang is kind, and I doubt she would mistreat her daughter.
Meanwhile, Jiang He returned to the guard camp and began investigating why Consort Mei wanted to harm Zheng Yao.
He discovered that there was no direct conflict between Consort Mei and Zheng Yao.
Why was Consort Mei so vicious? She actually wanted Zheng Yao dead?
