Upon hearing that Young Master Luo had arrived, Jiang Ming was so excited that the soles of his feet went numb!
This big, fat fish has finally arrived... This time, we absolutely cannot let it get away!
Where is he?
"In room number E..."
"Treat him well! Don't let him go, or... you're dead!"
"I know, I know..."
Jiang Ming then instructed his trusted soldiers to keep a close watch on the cage this time!
"Wife! I really won't do it again! Please forgive me! Ah!"
Jin Feng is really ruthless. She picked up another vase and smashed it hard on Ji Bochang's head, cracking his skull open again!
Ji Bochang was bleeding profusely; the entire room was covered in blood, as if someone had been murdered!
Jin Feng herself also began coughing violently due to "getting angry and harming her health," causing her wounds to reopen and causing her to cough up blood...
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Ming rushed in and grabbed Jin Feng!
"Madam! That's enough! Stop hitting me..."
"Mr. Jiang! Cough cough! This beast, he... he, cough cough! He cheated on me, and he never learns his lesson!"
"Madam, you're still injured! If you get upset and your old wound reopens, it won't heal easily!"
"That damned beast! I'm going to beat him to death today!"
"Alright, madam... no more!"
Jiang Ming stood in front of Ji Bochang, stopping her from continuing to beat him.
Ji Bochang's face was covered in blood, he looked like a 'blood gourd', he was in a terrible state!
"Madam, give me some face! If you want to hit me again, then hit me!"
"Hmph! Cough cough cough!"
......
Jiang Ming managed to stop Jin Feng after much persuasion, and then had two trusted soldiers escort the "Madam" away!
"Mr. Jiang! Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang, for saving me! Waaah!"
Ji Bochang sobbed uncontrollably, clutching Jiang Ming's wrist tightly. His blood had smeared all over Jiang Ming as well...
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly prepare a carriage for the master and take him back to the manor!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Ming was going to escort him back to his residence, Ji Bochang was so frightened that he trembled all over and almost peed his pants!
"Mr. Jiang!"
Ji Bochang grabbed Jiang Ming's hand and said, "Since you're being a good person, you should see this through to the end. Tonight, you absolutely cannot leave me! This woman... I don't know when she'll get angry and try to retaliate!"
"Uh...no way!"
Jiang Ming comforted him gently, "Your Excellency, there is something I haven't had a chance to report to you yet."
"What's up?"
"It's like this..."
Jiang Ming said with a serious expression, "Didn't I give you and your wife a gemstone each before? Yours is an agate and your wife's is an emerald... The mountain god sensed that your wife was injured, but... ordinary treatments are too slow to take effect. If it is delayed, it will easily cause sequelae to your wife. Therefore... the mountain god instructed me to take your wife to stay on the mountain for a period of time, so that the mountain god can personally treat her."
Upon hearing this, Ji Bochang, his face covered in blood, grasped at a straw and excitedly asked, "Really!"
"How could this be fake...?"
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I consulted with Madam beforehand, and she was willing to let the mountain god treat her. That's why I took her back to Chenjia Village overnight. But... this is a big deal after all, so I had to inform you, didn't I? So... Madam came here."
"Oh dear!"
Ji Bochang said with a bitter expression, "Mr. Jiang, you are our family's steward and my chief clerk. You can decide things yourself. Why did you have to provoke this shrew? Waaah! Look how badly she beat me up. You should have covered for me beforehand!"
"Uh...uh..."
Jiang Ming said awkwardly, "It was my oversight. I meant to just leave, but Madam is a proper person after all. She insisted on seeing you, so she sent the servants to look for you. Here you go!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Ji Bochang sighed bitterly, "Fine! Better a short pain than a long one! This beating has saved me a lot of trouble, but... Mr. Jiang, could you... let my wife stay on the mountain a few more days? You saw things you shouldn't have seen today, and I feel like every day is an eternity!"
"Uh-huh!"
Jiang Ming nodded vigorously: "Rest assured, sir. How could I not understand your good intentions? It's just..."
"Just what?"
Jiang Ming said, "Madam has many 'spies.' These days, it's best if you don't go out and have any fun. If Madam finds out and comes back to kill you, I won't be able to stop her!"
"Okay, okay!"
Ji Bo nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice...
"Lord Jiang, the carriage is ready!"
"Quickly! Help the Prefect home and fetch a doctor to treat his injuries..."
Several soldiers entered the house, helped Ji Bochang up, and then escorted him downstairs.
Looking at the blood all over the ground and the shattered pieces of the vase, Jiang Ming shook his head with a wry smile.
Ji Bochang was a clever man; even if he wasn't superstitious at heart, he was just playing the fool...
But I've done him a huge favor this time!
After all, with the "king's" spies around, wouldn't every day feel like an eternity?
He walked towards the bed curtains and glanced at Miss Dong, whose hair was disheveled, clothes were in disarray, and she was curled up in a ball, hugging her knees... like a frightened bird.
