Chapter 123 Ye Chutang rescues Jun'er
Ye Chutang's plan is to seduce the man, attract his attention, and find an opportunity to rescue Jun'er.
But Jun'er didn't know her plan.
He couldn't bear to see his elder sister being humiliated, so he offered his neck to the sharp dagger.
The wound, which was already large, instantly expanded.
The man was startled and instinctively moved the dagger away from Jun'er's neck.
"You're crazy, little bastard!"
Ye Chutang was also frightened by Jun'er's actions.
But she was only stunned for a moment, and immediately took the opportunity when the man let go of Jun'er to use her earth-related ability.
The moist soil turned into slippery vines, growing wildly up the man's legs.
In an instant it wrapped around his wrist and quickly tightened.
The sound of bones breaking and screams rang out at the same time.
The man could no longer hold Jun'er's head, nor could he hurt him.
Jun'er lost too much blood and became unconscious, falling down weakly.
The vine caught Jun'er and sent him to Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang stabbed the hairpin, which was used to seal the mouth with blood, into the man's heart.
She held the nearly fainted Jun'er in her arms, teleported to the entrance of the restaurant, and quickly walked in.
After placing Jun'er on the nearest empty table, she took out a silver needle and pricked the acupoint to stop the bleeding.
The tourists and the waiter were frightened by the glaring blood and immediately called the shopkeeper over.
The shopkeeper recognized Ye Chutang and said, "Miss Ye..."
She was interrupted by Ye Chutang as soon as she opened her mouth, "Is there a doctor?"
"Yes, I will go and call him right away."
The doctor came soon with a medicine box.
Ye Chutang snatched the medicine box and cleaned Jun'er's wound, applied medicine and bandaged it.
After finishing her work, she immediately took Jun'er's pulse.
After confirming that he had only lost some blood, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Ye Chutang and Jun'er soaking wet, the shopkeeper said, "Miss Ye, there are rooms at the back of the restaurant, and there are spare clothes for the guests. Do you want to go change into something?"
Ye Chutang took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Lead the way."
By the time she and Jun'er changed their clothes and came out, some of the officials had already returned from Yunyin Lake.
They also brought back several men who were drugged and unconscious.
Seeing Ye Chutang, the leading officer immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss Ye, are you okay? Why did these people want to kill you?"
Ye Chutang shook her head, "I don't know, please check it carefully."
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. Jingzhao Prefecture and the Dali Temple will work together to investigate this case and give you an explanation."
"Thank you, sir. You have worked so hard. It is windy and rainy outside. We cannot return to the yamen for the time being. Shopkeeper, please prepare a few tables of good wine and food."
Just as the officer was about to refuse, Ye Chutang took out a soaked fifty-liang silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Is this banknote still usable?"
The shopkeeper took it carefully and nodded.
"It's okay if the banknotes are wet. Just put them between books and they will dry in a day or two. Miss Ye and the adults, please wait a moment. I will go and tell the kitchen right away."
The leading official saw that Ye Chutang had paid all the money and stopped refusing.
"Miss Ye, I would like to know some details of the case, is that okay?"
"Of course, your Excellency."
Before the meal was served, Ye Chutang recounted the incident of the attack.
She also talked about discovering that she was being followed and that she was the one who arranged to report the matter to the police.
"Miss Ye, why did you get involved even though you knew there was danger?"
Ye Chutang hugged the sleeping Jun'er and forced a faint smile.
"I can't stay at home all my life just because I know someone wants to harm me."
This was not wrong, so the officer couldn't say anything.
***
Summer rain comes quickly and goes quickly.
When Ye Chutang finished his meal with the official, the wind and rain had stopped.
The sky is clean and clear, and a faint rainbow hangs in the sky, attracting people to stop and watch.
All the officials have returned from Yunyin Lake.
A total of nine people were captured alive and three dead.
There is no guardhouse among them.
Ye Chutang felt strange and asked, "Sir, are these the only ones? Why don't I see the guards from the Shangshu Mansion?"
They can't all sink to the bottom of the lake, right?
"That's all we have found for now. We will search the area around Yunyin Lake later."
As soon as the officer finished speaking, the injured guard limped into the restaurant.
"Miss, we are all fine. When we went to rescue the young master, the wind and rain were too strong and we were blocked and dispersed."
His injury was quite serious.
If he could survive, so could others.
Ye Chutang knew that the truth was definitely not what the security guard said.
They were driven by the instinct to escape and scattered in panic.
She didn't care about anything. When she returned to the Shangshu Mansion, Ye Jingchuan would deal with them.
"Let's go, Jun'er is injured, let's go back home."
Chen Zhong was originally waiting at the entrance of the restaurant in his horse-drawn carriage.
But when the storm came, the horse was frightened and no one knew where it had dragged him.
The restaurant has horse-drawn carriages to see off guests.
Seeing that Ye Chutang spent a lot of money, the shopkeeper sent her one for free.
Jun'er woke up when the carriage was halfway on the journey.
He opened his eyes and saw Ye Chutang leaning against the wall of the carriage with a pale face.
"Sister...sister, you too..."
When he made up his mind to use his own life to force his eldest sister to leave, he never thought he could survive.
So, he thought he was dead.
Ye Chutang reached over the small table in the middle of the carriage and touched Jun'er's head.
"My eldest sister said that nothing will happen to you or herself, and we are all alive."
After saying that, her gaze fell on Jun'er's injured neck, her eyes filled with apology.
"I'm sorry that I failed to protect you and caused you to be seriously injured."
Prince Chen was right, she was too self-righteous.
She thought that Jun'er was Kong Ru's last straw, and she would not touch Jun'er.
She miscalculated!
Jun'er sat up, endured the pain in his neck, and slowly shook his head.
"Don't blame yourself, elder sister. It was Jun'er who was confused and hurt himself."
Although he didn't know what happened after he hit the dagger.
But he had already figured it out: his elder sister took off her clothes not to be humiliated, but to lure the enemy.
He was too stupid. He didn't understand it at the time and didn't believe his elder sister.
Ye Chutang flicked Jun'er's forehead.
"It's all in the past. Don't think too much about it. You are very brave. I am proud of you."
Jun'er gave a weak smile.
"Eldest sister, does this count as us sharing life and death together?"
Although it wasn't as serious as Jun'er said, Ye Chutang smiled and nodded.
"Of course!"
The smile on Jun'er's face became brighter and brighter.
From then on, the bond between him and his eldest sister became even deeper!
He suddenly remembered something.
"Eldest sister, Jun'er's injury is not serious. Can he still go to Hua Ting Academy?"
Ye Chutang didn't want to agree.
But when she met Jun'er's expectant eyes, she couldn't say no.
"Sure, but you haven't had lunch yet. Go after you finish eating."
Jun'er's eyes curved into crescents.
"Thank you, elder sister."
As soon as he came out of the academy, he confessed his life story to his elder sister!
