The guards in the Marquis's mansion only knew a little bit of basic martial arts, so Qingying rescued the person effortlessly.
As soon as Young Master He was rescued, the Marquis jumped up upon receiving the news. He was about to berate the guards who came to deliver the message, but then he remembered Jiang Chuhui kneeling in the main hall, so he could only suppress his anger and grit his teeth, saying, "What kind of trash are you? Six people couldn't even keep an eye on one injured person. What use are you to me!"
"My lord, please forgive us. It's not that we were useless; it's just that the person who came to our rescue was highly skilled in martial arts!"
"You failed to keep an eye on him and still dare to argue! I think you've had it too easy in the Marquis's mansion; your limbs have all atrophied!"
Before the newcomer could say anything more, Marquis Changping glared at him and said, "The person is gone and you're not even going to look for him? Standing here arguing with me, do you want me to beat you up?! Let me tell you, if you don't find him, don't bother coming back!"
The person then scrambled away.
Marquis Changping was furious, still holding onto yesterday's frustrations. He thought he had a place to vent his anger today, but who knew these fools would be so useless!
Marquis Changping lamented: Why did things not go according to my plan!
After calming himself down, Marquis Changping considered how to save face with Jiang Chuhui. After all, the news that those useless people had failed to keep an eye on people couldn't be kept secret for long.
He hadn't intended to use the man surnamed He to control Yuan Niang; he was just angry that Yuan Niang had come to question him! In his anger, he told Yuan Niang that he would kill the man surnamed He, but he didn't expect Yuan Niang to threaten him with death!
Is it because he has lost his prestige, or because his children and grandchildren are becoming increasingly unruly and disrespectful to him as the head of the family?
Therefore, he thought of taking this opportunity to establish his authority as the head of the family, and he was determined to make Yuan Niang admit her mistake to him and punish her by making her kneel for half a day, so that everyone in the mansion could see it.
He even dared to punish his granddaughter who was about to become an imperial concubine. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to him again in the future, this will be a testament to his power!
However, those useless fools, how long had he established his authority before they let that guy surnamed He run away? What was he supposed to say to Yuan Niang?
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
Mu Ying, who had been keeping a close eye on He Quan, came to inform Jiang Chuhui, who was still kneeling in the main hall of Shangshanzhai, after learning that He Quan had been rescued.
Jiang Chuhui's straight posture immediately softened, but she quickly straightened up again and asked, "Who took Brother He away?"
Mu Ying bit her lip and shook her head, "This servant does not know."
Jiang Chuhui struggled to her feet and rushed out of the main hall.
Marquis Changping lifted the curtain and came out from the west room, only to see her running out of the main hall. He was instantly enraged again!
Oh, you wretched child!
How could they be so rude? They didn't even know to greet their grandfather before leaving. All that time they spent learning manners from the nannies was for nothing!
Although Marquis Changping was annoyed, he dared not chase after her and reprimand the future imperial concubine.
Jiang Chuhui stumbled and fell all the way to Zhaotai Courtyard, intending to see Old Madam Jiang, but was stopped by Zhou Mama at the courtyard gate.
"Young lady, the old lady is unwell and has already retired for the night. Before she retired, she asked this old servant to wait for you here..."
"Brother He, he..."
Jiang Chuhui had barely uttered a word when Madam Zhou chimed in, "Young Miss, please don't be anxious. Young Master He is a lucky man and will be alright! The Old Madam said that you should calmly wait for the day you enter the palace and serve His Majesty well. This old servant will take good care of Young Master He!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chuhui wanted to say something more, but Zhou Mama continued, "Young lady, as you know, the old lady has always been reluctant to meddle in other people's business, let alone get too involved with the Marquis. But this time, for your sake, she has taken such a risk. May I ask, young lady, what is there that you don't trust the old lady about?"
Jiang Chuhui's usually calm eyes flashed with doubt, worry, and anger before finally returning to calm.
"I will definitely keep my promise to Grandmother! I hope Grandmother will not break her word again. If Brother He suffers even the slightest mishap, Grandmother can forget about getting what she wants!"
"Don't worry, young lady, Young Master He is already being treated by a doctor, and he should be fully recovered soon!"
"I want to see Brother He!"
"The old lady said she would arrange this matter before the eldest daughter enters the palace. Eldest daughter, please return!"
"Then I need to know where Brother He is now?"
Mrs. Zhou stared at Jiang Chuhui for a long time without saying a word.
Jiang Chuhui conceded a step, "I may not see him, but I must send someone to visit him!"
“Young lady, it’s a good thing that you and Young Master He are not seeing each other right now! The old lady knows your temperament and has told me that if you insist on knowing where Young Master He is, you can tell me. But please think carefully, what good will it do to see him? Young Master He has been sent to the third house on the north side of Yongxiang East Alley. Please consider this carefully, young lady!”
Jiang Chuhui returned to Huilan Courtyard only after learning where He Quan had gone...
At that moment, Jiang Segu went to Yongxiang East Alley.
Li Changshan had already treated He Quan's wounds, and Aunt Lan was also looking at the medicine on the stove. The two sat on chairs behind the stove and chatted.
"We haven't even fully recovered from the first one, and now another one has arrived. If this continues, our place will turn into a small clinic! The once spacious courtyard is now completely full!"
Aunt Lan sipped her tea while complaining.
"Only two? You haven't seen the medical tents in the army camp. They're overflowing with people!" Li Changshan said with a smile to Aunt Lan. "You rarely complain. Are you so agitated today because of Deputy Commander Gu's departure from the capital?"
