Although she is just a concubine's daughter, she still has basic conscience.
Moreover, she knew very well how vindictive He was, and her father was a man who cared nothing about anything except teaching and studying, so He was allowed to run rampant throughout the house.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying stood up, patted her face, and drank a cup in one breath. What looked like cold tea to outsiders was actually her space spiritual spring water!
Finally I recovered 70% to 80% of my strength.
Helping him to sit on the couch, he said, “That’s why you can’t go out at this time.
"My second brother has already been saved. If there was any resentment, it would have already been held. It's not something that can be offset by you leaving now. On the contrary, if they dared to kill you once, they will definitely dare to kill you a second time. Do you want my second brother and I to waste all our efforts?"
"You...your second brother???" Mu Zijin opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Could it be that the person who jumped into the water to save her was Miss Jiang’s second brother?
Jiang...Jiang Yuanchen!
When this name flashed through his mind, Mu Zijin immediately felt dizzy again as if he was about to faint at any moment!
Why him? He and Mu Wanbai would definitely dislike her even more now!
They were already suspicious, and now... Ugh! They can't clear themselves even if they jump into the Yellow River!
Mu Zijin hesitated. The courage she had just mustered up gradually drained away after she learned that the person who saved her was Jiang Yuanchen.
Jiang Ying took advantage of her hesitation and quickly explained, "Your best option now is to continue pretending to be unconscious. I will tell them that your life is fine, but it will take time for you to wake up.
“This way you don’t have to face their accusations, and it can also temporarily make them let down their guard and stop attacking you.
"As for my second brother and I, it was just a few arguments and quarrels. At most, there will be a few more rumors about my second brother. It's not a big deal."
Mu Zijin understood what Jiang Ying meant, but she couldn't accept it with peace of mind. "Miss Jiang, what have I done to deserve such help from you and Mr. Jiang Er?"
"Want to thank us?"
"Um."
"Only if you survive will you have the chance to thank us!" Jiang Ying put down the tea bowl, pushed the door and walked out of the carriage without any delay.
Jiang Yuanchen had already gotten off the carriage, but did not go far.
Not far away, Mu Chong, Mu Yunyuan, He Shi and Mu Wanbai were all in a stalemate with Yan Zhuo, and no one gave in.
Seeing Jiang Ying coming out, Mu Wanbai's eyes flashed with disgust, and she shouted, "Miss Jiang, our Mu family has no grudge against you. Please hand over the body of my concubine sister!"
She was certain that Mu Zijin would not survive.
He was drowning for such a long time and his chest was not rising or falling. How could he still be alive?
It was precisely because he could not survive that they had to get the body back, so that Jiang Ying and others would not use it as a handle to harm the Mu family.
If this had happened in the past, Mu Wanbai wouldn't have been so anxious because she knew Jiang Yuanchen liked her.
But now... after Jiang Yuanchen repeatedly ignored or rejected her, Mu Wanbai suddenly became less certain. She felt guilty...
Jiang Ying was about to jump out of the carriage when Jiang Yuanchen saw her and came over to catch her.
Yan Zhuo's eyes deepened.
Jiang Ying stopped, a half-smile on his face, his eyes swept over the faces of the Mu family and others, "Oh? The body? Do you really want Mu Zijin to die?
"Unfortunately, my medical skills are pretty good. As long as it's drowning for less than an incense stick, I can definitely save it!"
"Miss Mu, you were lucky enough to first meet my second brother, and then meet me. Of course, you turned danger into safety and came back to life!"
"What? She's not dead!" Not only Mu Wanbai, but even He Shi suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Ying took a few steps forward, getting closer to the Mu family and almost standing on the same level as Yan Zhuo.
Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, "It seems that Madam Mu, as the legitimate mother, is eager for her concubine's daughter to die quickly?
“That’s right, it didn’t crawl out of my stomach, after all, there is a layer between them.
"But Madam Mu has been in the harem for too long and doesn't understand the law. Doesn't Lord Mu understand it either? Killing innocent people indiscriminately will result in death!"
Just a few words instantly terrified the entire Mu family.
Mu Wanbai pursed her lips, clearly no longer as arrogant as before. "You... don't talk nonsense. Mu Zijin is my sister, a daughter of the Mu Mansion. How could we not hope for her well? She was clearly feeding the fish and accidentally fell into the water, causing us to worry. How can it be our fault? Isn't she fine now? Call her out and see if it's what I said. Everything will naturally come to light."
As she spoke, Mu Wanbai had already chuckled in her heart.
Tsk, Mu Zijin, what a waste, I don’t think she would dare to speak nonsense!
