Chapter 15 Finding Someone
Until the sun sets in the west,
Jiang Wanning and Shen Ruzhi had just arrived at the dilapidated temple.
"Ningning, this place is deserted, what are we doing here?"
Jiang Wan Ning lifted her skirt and walked into the dilapidated temple, replying in a low voice, "Looking for someone."
"A person? Who is it?"
"Someone who can save Pei Yanchuan's life."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruzhi became serious and began searching earnestly.
It's better for an older man to save Pei Yanchuan's life than for Ningning to be a widow.
Putting aside the question of whether his age is real or not, Pei Yanchuan is indeed handsome. In the entire capital, only Pei Yanchuan's looks are worthy of Ningning.
Jiang Wan Ning carefully searched among the beggars lying on the ground.
She remembers it very clearly.
In her previous life, although she saved Ah Hai a year later, he said that if he had met her earlier, the outcome might have been different.
He said he came to this place inexplicably, originally intending to cut open the abdomen of a pregnant woman in difficult labor to save her.
As a result, he was mistaken for a murderer and hunted down, so he had to hide in a dilapidated temple with beggars.
I only dare to go out at night to find something to eat.
It was also at the Lantern Festival a year later. Pei Anqing said he went out to drink with his colleagues, but he didn't return until late, so she went out to look for him.
That's how I met Ah Hai.
"Ningning, are you sure the person who can save the prince is here?"
Shen Ruzhi couldn't help but pinch her nose, "Reclusive masters should usually live in the mountains."
Jiang Wan Ning seemed somewhat uncertain when asked the question.
In his previous life, Ahai only told him that he had been here for about a year, and he had calculated the time based on that.
This should have been shortly after he was wrongly accused of murder.
Seeing that Jiang Wan Ning remained silent, Shen Ruzhi followed behind her.
She didn't know what the expert looked like, but he was very skilled in medicine and must be quite old.
The beggar in the dilapidated temple looked at the two richly dressed young ladies, one with a long whip around her waist and the other holding a long sword.
Fearing they were being used as scapegoats, they huddled in corners, heads down, trying to minimize their presence.
Jiang Wan Ning carefully examined the light, using the soft golden rays of the setting sun.
I searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Ah Hai.
I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
If something unexpected happens in this life and he doesn't meet Ah Hai, then Pei Yanchuan's poison won't be cured...
"Ningning?"
Shen Ruzhi called her several times before Jiang Wanning finally snapped out of her daze.
"Let's go back first." The two walked out of the dilapidated temple.
"Ningning, look!"
Just as Jiang Wan Ning was about to board the carriage, she followed Shen Ru Zhi's gaze and saw a person covered in blood, whose gender was indistinguishable, lying in the corner.
"It seems like he's still alive."
Shen Ruzhi tentatively took two steps forward and saw the man's finger twitch slightly.
Jiang Wan Ning stepped forward and reached out to brush aside the man's blood-stained black hair.
"Ningning, be careful."
Shen Ruzhi reminded him in a low voice.
Jiang Wan Ning wiped the blood from the man's face with a handkerchief, inwardly gasping in shock.
Ah Hai!
"Zhizhi, quickly help me get him into the carriage."
Shen Ruzhi didn't ask Jiang Wanning why, and quickly walked to her feet. The two of them lifted the person onto the carriage.
Where do we go next?
"Return to the Marquis's residence."
"Ningning, this..."
Jiang Wan Ning knew that Shen Ru Zhi was worried about this person's identity and background, and besides, what if this person died in the Marquis's mansion...
"You drive the carriage out the back door."
Seeing that Jiang Wan Ning's attitude was firm, Shen Ru Zhi didn't say anything, and the carriage quickly arrived at the back gate of the Marquis's residence.
Jiang Wan Ning went in first and spoke to Zhou Shi before having the servants of the manor lead the person to the guest room.
"I'll go find him a doctor." Zhou glanced at the blood-soaked body on the bed.
"No need," Jiang Wan Ning interjected, "Mother, it's best not to let too many people know about him for now."
Jiang Wan Ning was afraid of any unnecessary accidents.
"But if he doesn't see a doctor, how will he survive this injury?"
Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the people on the bed; Hai Tang and Shao Yao were cleaning the bloodstains off their bodies.
“Mother, I remember there are some medicinal herbs in the storeroom at home. I’ll have Shaoyao go and get them in a bit.”
Zhou nodded.
"I'll go get it right now." He paused for a moment, as if hesitating, before speaking, "Ningning."
Jiang Wan Ning looked up.
Tears welled up in Zhou's eyes. "Mother wants to thank you."
Haitang and Shaoyao had already told me about what happened at the Grand Tutor's residence when they returned in the afternoon.
Originally, I didn't want my father to worry about me in this state, so I didn't go to the mansion much.
But she never considered a father's longing for his daughter.
Jiang Wanning stepped forward and hugged Zhou Shi, "Mother, I was also at fault in this matter."
The mother was deeply affected by the existence of Aunt Liu, and in her previous life, she was just like her father.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Liu mother and daughter.
I never imagined how my mother would feel upon seeing Aunt Liu.
"Things will get better in the future."
Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and nodded.
They quickly brought over all the medicinal herbs that Jiang Wan Ning had specifically requested.
He then ordered the peony to be used to decoct the medicine.
Watching Jiang Wan Ning skillfully bandage the wound.
Shen Ruzhi and Zhou Shi said in unison, "Ningning, when did you learn medicine?"
Jiang Wan Ning was stunned for a moment, realizing that her medical skills were taught by Ah Hai.
In her past life, after saving Ah Hai, Ah Hai had no way to repay her and wanted to teach her all his medical skills.
But at that time, she was completely focused on Pei Anqing, thinking about how to be a good princess and make plans for him.
Although she was learning medicine from Ah Hai, she wasn't serious about it; she only knew some basic techniques...
"I read some medical books when I was bored before, so I know a little bit about medicine."
"His identity is currently unknown. If we rashly invite a doctor, I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives might seize upon this as a pretext."
"I checked, his injuries aren't too serious, he's just a little weak from not eating or drinking for several days."
Most of his wounds had already healed. "He must have treated them himself while he was on the run."
"Ningning, is this the person you said could save the prince?" Shen Ruzhi asked cautiously.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded. "I had a dream in which someone told me to go to that dilapidated temple to find someone."
"The face of the person in my dream was exactly the same as his."
"I know this is a bit absurd, but I thought, what if it's true?"
Jiang Wan Ning looked at her mother, knowing that her mother always believed in these things.
Especially after I was born,
She goes to the temple to pray for blessings almost every year and even asked for a peace charm, but she lost it.
Both Zhou and Shen Ruzhi wore expressions of disbelief. "Really exactly the same?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded.
"No matter what, let's save him first," Jiang Wanning said. "If he's utterly wicked, then we can kill him."
Chen Ruzhi: "..."
"Mother, has things been peaceful at Bihe Courtyard while I was away?"
Jiang Wanning suddenly changed the subject, and Zhou said, "At noon, Jiang Wanru went out dressed as a maid."
"As for where they went, I don't know."
"That innocent-looking woman! She must have gone to see that scumbag!" Shen Ruzhi said irritably.
"Ningning, why don't I go beat her up to vent my anger!"
Jiang Wanning reached out to stop them, "They've probably been planning this for a long time, let's not alert them yet."
She kept Liu and her daughter alive so she could lure out the person behind them.
"Are you just going to put up with this?" Shen Ruzhi asked, somewhat angrily. "Are you still reluctant to let go of that scumbag?"
Jiang Wan Ning laughed and said, "I said don't alert the enemy, but I didn't say I wouldn't vent my anger."
