Chapter 312 Looks Familiar
“Yeah.” Xu Zhengping sighed again.
It depends on whether we can find Miss Zhuang.
If we can find that person, then everything will be fine.
If you really can't find it...
Xu Zhengping rubbed his wrinkled brows.
I once heard Ding Gaochang say that Miss Zhuang had lost her parents long ago and now only had a younger sister at home. If Miss Zhuang really encountered an accident, he would take her younger sister to his side, adopt her as his adopted daughter, and take good care of her.
It can be considered as doing the best I can.
Speaking of which, these thieves are really bold and arrogant. If we can catch them, we must punish them severely!
"My Lord, my Lord!"
A yamen runner came running over in a hurry, "Two people came outside, driving two carriages over."
"They said they caught the criminals who kidnapped the young girl!"
What?!
Xu Zhengping was startled and ran out, "Take me to see it quickly."
See if Zhuang Qingning is among them. ——Chu Jinnian and Jing Zhao went all the way to Qingzhu Garden.
Ning Feng already knew that Chu Jinnian would be back in a day or two, but he never expected him to come back so soon. He hurriedly made preparations and led people to greet him.
But when he saw Chu Jinnian striding into the yard holding a young girl, he was stunned.
But of course you can't ask too much about your master's affairs.
Ning Feng hurriedly ordered the servant beside him, "Hurry up and clean up a room for the girl, and find two maids to serve this girl."
The servants hurriedly did what they were told.
Although Qingzhu Garden had never had any visitors and the side rooms had always been empty, Ning Feng was usually diligent and often ordered people to clean the place daily, so the room was usually kept spotless. At this time, when he said he was cleaning, it was nothing more than preparing some soft pillows, candles and the like.
The servant led the way with a lantern in front, and Chu Jinnian put Zhuang Qingning on the bed.
He reached out and touched her forehead.
Fortunately, I didn't have a high fever.
When encountering such a thing, one is terrified and drugged, and has been traveling for a long time in the wilderness in the dead of night and with heavy dew, it is very easy to get sick. It is best if nothing happens right now.
The injured area at the base of Zhuang Qingning's palm had stopped bleeding at this time. Chu Jinnian asked someone to get some medicine, wash his mouth, and apply some medicine.
"Prepare some food and hot water."
Chu Jinnian said, "Besides, you need to take good care of this place. Be sure to check the situation carefully at night. If you have a high fever, report it immediately."
"Yes." Ning Feng agreed and looked at Zhuang Qingning lying on the bed with more suspicion.
Why do I always feel that this person looks familiar, but for the moment I can't remember where I have seen him.
But it doesn't matter. Since Chu Jinnian has ordered it, someone has to take good care of it. As for who the person is, it doesn't matter.
Since the eldest son brought it back, he must have his reasons.
Chu Jinnian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and rubbed his sore arms.
It’s not that Zhuang Qingning is heavy, nor is it that he is not strong enough, but it is a bit uncomfortable to maintain the same posture all the way.
Seeing Zhuang Qingning still sleeping soundly on the bed, Chu Jinnian felt relieved and prepared to leave.
As soon as I stood up, I found that I couldn't leave.
Zhuang Qingning held a corner of the sleeve tightly in his hand.
Yes, before Zhuang Qingning was drugged and passed out, she grabbed his sleeve. He was holding her at that time and didn't notice it.
Chu Jinnian reached out and tugged gently, but found that he couldn't move it at all.
Zhuang Qingning's finger joints were a little white, probably because she used a lot of strength. It was enough to show her fear at that time, and... to her, he was her only hope.
Chu Jinnian suddenly remembered the scene when he first saw Zhuang Qingning.
When he was being chased by two kidnappers, he scattered silver and money to attract the surrounding residents to come over, restrain the kidnappers, and then escaped successfully.
At that time, Zhuang Qingning had a resolute look on her face. She was calm and composed, and remained unruffled in the face of danger. But in the end, her legs went weak and she had to lean on the wall. She must have been extremely scared at the time, but she understood her situation and knew what to do.
Right now, I'm afraid this is also the case.
After being kidnapped, she was able to remain calm and not make a fuss in such a dark night. She successfully snatched the carriage from the criminals and escaped so far away.
Compared to those girls in the boudoir who would scream when they see a summer insect and would panic and not know what to do when encountering something, Zhuang Qingning can be described as a heroine.
Was she afraid at that time? Thinking carefully, she was probably afraid, otherwise, why would she fall asleep so quickly afterwards?
The medicine on the arrow is one thing, but more importantly, it's because someone rescued him, and he felt a little relieved, so the string that had been taut in his heart finally broke.
Chu Jinnian pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a little admiration for Zhuang Qingning, and even a little bit of reluctance. He stopped pulling the sleeve in Zhuang Qingning's hand, and sat down on the edge of the bed and put her arm in place.
"Let's send the food here first."
Chu Jinnian said.
"Yes." Ning Feng was stunned again. His eyes moved between Chu Jinnian and the girl lying there. Then he went to tell people to prepare food.
The meal was quickly prepared.
A few simple side dishes and a bowl of mushroom and shredded chicken noodles.
With his sleeve held by Zhuang Qingning, Chu Jinnian was unable to move, so he asked someone to bring the table to the bedside. He reluctantly sat on a low stool beside it and could only use his left hand to hold the chopsticks to eat.
This look is indeed a bit embarrassing.
Chu Jinnian paused and said, "You guys go down first."
"Yes." Ning Feng retreated to the door and waited for instructions.
Seeing Jing Zhao coming over after finishing his meal and cleaning up, Ning Feng pulled him aside and said, "As a servant, I shouldn't ask too much about the eldest master's affairs, but that girl looks very familiar to me..."
"What happened when you and the eldest son came back?"
"Butler Feng, of course you must be familiar with this guy. Isn't he the owner of the tofu shop in town?" Jing Zhao explained, but then added, afraid that he didn't understand, "It's the one in town that serves delicious tofu. The eldest and third sons both like it."
"It turned out to be her." Ning Feng suddenly realized and remembered the kidnapper he saw when he and Chu Jinnian passed through the town together. "No wonder she looks so familiar."
"Yes, it's this Shopkeeper Zhuang. Let me tell you, this Shopkeeper Zhuang is incredible. He fought against four people alone and helped save many people..."
Jing Zhao was a little excited when he mentioned this. He told Ning Feng everything that happened tonight. "My son and I were traveling overnight with a few servants. We saw a strange carriage on the road. It was parked on the side of the road in the middle of the night. There was also blood next to it, so we went to check it out."
My waist is twisted... wuwuwu...
