Jiang Segu noticed Aunt Lan's unusual behavior and asked, "Does Aunt Lan know Granny Qi?"
Aunt Lan collected her thoughts and replied, "Granny Qi is a tutor in the palace, so of course I know her!"
Judging from Aunt Lan's demeanor just now, her relationship with Granny Qi was more than just a simple acquaintance. However, seeing that Granny Qi didn't intend to continue, Jiang Segu didn't press the matter further.
"Dr. Li, how is the wounded man that Deputy Commander Gu brought in a few days ago?"
"You mean Zhou Yuan, right? Although his injuries haven't fully healed, he should have woken up by now, as is normal. Perhaps he's troubled by his mental illness and hasn't woken up yet!"
This means that Zhou Yuan himself did not want to wake up.
Was Zhou Yuan unwilling to wake up because he was traumatized by his older sister's entry into the palace?
But didn't Gu Songhan say that after Zhou Yuan was released, he seemed to be going to find the person behind him? Why is he suddenly unwilling to wake up?
Did something happen in between?
"Dr. Li, since Zhou Yuan was brought here, has any outsider come to visit?"
Li Changshan shook his head and said no.
"Did you and your aunt ever go out at the same time?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changshan immediately realized something was wrong.
“We did go out once the day after Zhou Yuan was sent here. Does Miss Jiang suspect that someone came to negotiate with Zhou Yuan while we were out?”
Jiang Segu nodded.
“But we rarely have anyone here. Deputy Commander Gu is always meticulous in his work, and he would never let anyone else know that Zhou Yuan has been sent here…”
"It's my problem!"
She was careless!
I went out again and again without ever thinking about avoiding anything, which made it easy for someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of me!
Li Changshan also realized the problem and subconsciously said, "Then should we change locations?"
At this moment, Aunt Lan spoke up.
"It's probably too late to change it now!"
yes!
Given Zhou Yuan's current state, even changing locations wouldn't make a difference!
Jiang Segu angrily tugged at her handkerchief, truly at a loss for what to do!
Li Changshan coughed lightly, drawing Jiang Segu's attention, and then winked at her.
Jiang Segu understood and immediately squatted obediently in front of Aunt Lan. "Aunt, what should I do now?"
Aunt Lan glared at Li Changshan and said rudely, "Old man Li, aren't you afraid that if Deputy Commander Gu finds out about you flirting with Miss Jiang like this, he'll gouge your eyes out when he gets back!"
Li Changshan stroked his beard and chuckled, "It was just a bug that got into my eye."
Aunt Lan gave a soft snort and stopped looking at him.
"Good aunt, I really don't know what to do now, please help me! Good aunt... pretty aunt... the kindest aunt in the world, please help Azi!"
Jiang Segu used the same tactics he usually used in front of Old Madam Jiang. Aunt Lan had never been pampered like this before. She slapped away Jiang Segu's hands that were holding her arm and said with disgust, "Let go of me! It's so hot in the day. You don't mind the heat, but I do!"
"Good aunt, please help Azi, and Azi will let go. Otherwise, Azi will definitely pester you all day!"
Jiang Segu simply hugged Aunt Lan's arm tightly, rested his little head on Aunt Lan's shoulder, raised his eyes, and looked coquettish and silly.
Aunt Lan ruthlessly poked Jiang Segu's head open with her hand and shook it off with great disgust.
Jiang Segu was thrown off balance and stumbled. Aunt Lan instinctively grabbed her just as she was about to fall to the ground.
Jiang Segu, who was deliberately off guard, knew there was more to come, so he pestered Aunt Lan again, "Good Aunt, I know you are kind-hearted, please have mercy and help me think of a way! Hmm? Please?"
As she spoke, she shook Aunt Lan.
Li Changshan shook off the small bumps that had appeared on his body, picked up a palm-leaf fan, and carried the medicine pot to the side.
Aunt Lan was so dizzy from being shaken that she gave up. "Let go of me! My head is spinning, how can I think of a solution for you!"
Jiang Segu immediately let go of her hand, still sweetly flattering Aunt Lan.
"Alright, enough of that nonsense! When you get back today, pass on Zhou Yuan's message to your grandfather..."
"Huh?" Jiang Segu thought he had misheard. "Why would you pass this on to Grandfather? Does Aunt think that the person behind this is my grandfather?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why?"
"I'm asking you to use the excuse of sending a message to your grandfather to spread the word in the Marquis of Changping's mansion that Zhou Yuan has woken up and is in a bad mood, shouting about not keeping his word. If necessary, you can bring up your eldest sister."
Jiang Segu didn't understand at first, but she soon realized Aunt Lan's intention.
"Are you trying to lure me into a trap?"
Aunt Lan nodded.
"If that person knew about this, even if he knew it might be a trap, he would still risk sending someone to check it out!"
"In that case, we can follow the clues and find the culprit?"
Jiang Segu's eyes lit up, as if she could already see the person behind the scenes standing in front of her!
"Stop standing there like an idiot! Hurry up and go back to your residence!"
"Um!"
Jiang Segu, who arrived with a gloomy face, returned radiant.
As soon as she stepped into the Marquis's residence, she cried out, "Grandfather, Grandfather, your granddaughter has found Zhou Yuan! Grandfather..."
When Marquis Changping saw Jiang Segu standing in front of him beaming with pride, wanting to claim credit, he wanted nothing more than to send him away immediately. But thinking of Zhou Yuan, he patiently asked, "Azi said she found Zhou Yuan. Where is Zhou Yuan now?"
"Grandfather, your granddaughter went through a lot of trouble to find someone for you. Don't you have anything to say?"
Marquis Changping's mustache twitched.
This guy is trying to scam me! He has no respect for his elders and is becoming increasingly rude and presumptuous!
But thinking of the thoughtful and capable Zhou Yuan, Marquis Changping suppressed his anger and smiled kindly, "As long as Zhou Yuan returns, Grandfather will certainly reward you! However, Grandfather hasn't seen him yet, so how can Grandfather believe what you say!"
“Zhou Yuan lives in the third house on the north side of Yongxiang East Lane. My grandfather sent someone to check, and they will naturally know whether what Azi said is right or wrong!”
Marquis Changping immediately summoned someone to go to Yongxiang East Alley and bring Zhou Yuan back.
Jiang Segu and the others entered before he slowly said, "But Grandfather, I have to tell you some bad news in advance. Zhou Yuan seems to have gone mad!"
"What? Explain yourself!"
"Zhou Yuan was covered in injuries for some reason. When A Zi encountered him, she naturally had no reason not to help him, so she took him to Doctor Li's house."
After Dr. Li treated him, Zhou Yuan woke up. But when he woke up, he kept saying things like "he didn't keep his word" and even brought up his older sister. Seeing that he was a bit crazy, I tied him to the bed.
"Grandfather, in my opinion, you shouldn't rush to bring Zhou Yuan back. It would be better to let him recuperate at Doctor Li's house for now. Once he's fully recovered, you can send someone to fetch him!"
