There is also a Chinese toon tree in Jiangse Valley's courtyard because she likes to eat Chinese toon sprouts mixed with tofu.
Having things you like around always brings joy!
What's more, it was her mother who fed her, so Jiang Segu was like a well-behaved kitten, her eyes crinkling with laughter!
It would be even better if swallowing didn't hurt my throat!
"Are you full?"
Jiang Segu wanted to eat two more spoonfuls, but shook his head because of his sore throat.
Grandma Jiang put down her bowl and spoon, then picked up her honey tea. "Want some water to soothe your throat?"
Jiang Segu waved his hand in refusal.
"Is there anything else you'd like to eat? Mother will send someone to buy it for you."
Seeing Jiang Segu shake her head again, Grandma Jiang said, "Then why don't you take a nap and rest?"
Jiang Segu initially wanted to refuse, but when Qiaolian returned, he nodded in agreement.
After helping her lie down, Grandma Jiang gave her a few instructions and then returned to her own courtyard.
Qiaolian told Mama Hou and Qiaohe that she had come to take care of the girl.
Mrs. Hou and Qiaohe were used to it, so they withdrew!
“Miss, I helped Aunt Lan find a house in Yongxiang East Alley. I will accompany Aunt Lan to settle in this afternoon.”
Yongxiang East Alley?
That's a great place!
It's a place inhabited by scholars and literati, so it's quiet and peaceful, and it's close to Changxing Street, which will make it cheaper for her to visit Aunt Lan in the future!
Qiaolian's work skills have improved a lot!
Jiang Segu gave her a thumbs up.
Qiaolian showed no joy whatsoever; instead, she lowered her eyes and looked on sadly...
Aunt Lan was just as heartbroken as she was.
She was arrested before she could figure out what to do!
She initially thought he was one of Consort Min's men, but to her surprise, he captured her and then sent her back to Yunlai Inn.
Before she could even think about it, the little maid from yesterday came again!
They and the people who arrested her brought her to the courtyard right now!
After settling her in, the maid apologized and left, leaving only a seemingly carefree man watching her.
Judging from the politeness between the two, they didn't seem to be from the same group.
Who arrested her?
Just when she was completely baffled, Gu Songhan arrived, bringing with him the old military doctor who had previously taken Jiang Segu's pulse.
This time, the old military doctor didn't get angry or glare.
Hearing the noise, Aunt Lan looked up at the person who had come.
Seeing Gu Songhan dressed in dark clothes, with a tall and slender figure, and gentle and refined features, yet exuding an extremely domineering and imposing aura, they secretly wondered which noble person from the capital he was.
"I apologize for frightening Aunt Lan! I meant no harm to you, I just wanted to help the sixth daughter of the Jiang family persuade Aunt Lan."
Aunt Lan understood immediately!
So he just liked that girl and was using her to win her over!
"May I ask your name, young master?"
"Gu Songhan!"
Gu?
Could it be the Gu family from Taiyuan?
But the Gu family is a scholarly family, and there are no martial artists among them...
While she was pondering, Gu Songhan had already asked the old military doctor to treat her leg injury!
"No need for you to worry, young master, this leg is completely ruined!"
Gu Songhan remained silent, but the old military doctor chuckled and said, "Since I'm already here, why don't I take a look at this lady?"
Aunt Lan glanced at Gu Songhan and could only nod.
After half an incense stick's time, the old army doctor sighed, "If you had met me earlier, this leg might have recovered to about 70-80%. Now, all I can do is ensure you suffer less in the rain and snow!"
Aunt Lan placed her hand on her injured leg, feeling a little emotional, but quickly regained her composure.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir!"
"If your leg can be healed, would you agree to go to Miss Jiang's side?"
Before Aunt Lan could react, the old military doctor objected!
"Are you doubting my medical skills, or did you not understand what I said? Her right leg isn't just broken; the bones in her ankle are shattered! Do you know what that means?"
Gu Songhan stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing, only staring at Aunt Lan, seemingly waiting for her answer.
Aunt Lan was slightly taken aback, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I can only answer your question after you find someone who can cure this leg!"
"The military doctor will stay here to take care of Aunt Lan for the next few days!"
Without saying another word, he turned and left!
The old military doctor was so angry he stomped his feet!
***
Gu Songhan scaled walls and rooftops to reach the Marquis of Changping's residence.
At this moment, Jiang Segu was lying in bed thinking about his poisoning.
For now, that woman can't enter the Marquis's residence, so she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Perfect timing! I can take advantage of this illness to get a few more doctors to come and check on me. What if I happen to find a skilled one?
Jiang Segu thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible!
If it wasn't diagnosed, then she was scammed!
The thought that she might have been tricked before she died filled her with rage, which surged from her heart to her limbs and bones, making her pretty face turn gloomy.
At this moment, Jiang Segu suddenly saw Gu Songhan appear silently in the room, and he became restless as if the water had been boiled.
"You...how did you get in? What do you want? Guards! Qiaolian! Qiaolian!"
But her voice was already hoarse, and even when she called out, it was only a soft murmur.
Seeing the girl's hoarse voice, angry face, and strong aversion to him, Gu Songhan, heartbroken, took out the gold lock and South Sea pearl that the girl had given him.
"Back then, I received help from Miss Jiang Liu and also received her gold lock and South Sea pearl. I have come here only to repay her kindness and have no intention of harming Miss Jiang Liu!"
Jiang Segu, curled up in the corner of the bed, stood there stunned and dumbfounded.
