"Young Master Jiang."
Lin Qingwan forced herself to calm down, not wanting to waste time arguing with a madwoman.
Jiang Zhenlin's eyelashes furrowed. Since he returned, she had either addressed him as "Young Master" or called him by his full name! And whenever she did, she was sure to say something nice afterward.
"No matter what you say, I won't let you see him again."
"It's too easy for the Prime Minister's residence to kill a merchant!"
He meant well; regardless of status or anything else, the man surnamed Ruan was not worthy of Lin Qingwan. But his words were laced with malice.
Lin Qingwan was indeed afraid that they would harm Mr. Ruan.
She felt a sense of impatience, as if she had been caught in a compromising situation. "If you want trouble, just say so. Don't use others as an excuse."
She exuded an unwavering determination, saying, "Try touching Mr. Ruan even a hair on his head."
Jiang Zhenlin paused for a moment, and from her frail body he could see a terrifying sense of desperation, before he was suddenly pushed away.
When she came to her senses, Lin Qingwan had already left the Prime Minister's residence.
Threatening him because of an outsider?
Jiang Zhenlin cannot accept this!
Especially when he felt that Lin Qingwan was innocent in the past and planned to treat her better in the future, even if she wasn't grateful, she shouldn't treat him like an enemy.
"Treasure!"
Caibao was so frightened by his shout that he almost flew out of his skin. "Young...Young Master."
Jiang Zhenlin pursed his lips tightly. "You stay with her. If she sees any other men outside, tell me immediately!"
*
Lin Qingwan's sedan chair stopped opposite the clinic. Mu Xue whispered, "Miss, Caibao has been following us all the way."
Lin Qingwan went to the tea stall next door and asked for a pot of hot tea. She instructed Muxue, "He's just following orders. Bring him a pot of hot tea."
After all, she'll be staying at the clinic for quite a while.
Caibao belatedly realized that Muxue was carrying a teacup and heading in his direction. He hurriedly turned his back, covered his face with his hands against the cold wall, and tried to cover his ears while burying his head in the sand.
Mu Xue almost burst out laughing. "Don't hide. Miss is worried you'll catch a cold, so she's offering you some hot tea."
Caibao shuddered and said hesitantly, "It was because the young master was worried that the young lady would be misled by outsiders that he... that's why he let me follow her."
Mu Xue said bluntly, "Miss is just going to a clinic."
Caibao said anxiously, "Miss, if you're not feeling well, you can see the family physician!"
Mu Xue coldly replied, "Miss has a phobia of the family physician."
Caibao was stunned, then remembered the previous physician's matter and said nothing more.
He held the teacup in both hands, feeling comfortable from the steam. He drank half of it in one gulp, a smile still on his face, before he lost consciousness.
Mu Xue helped the person into the teahouse, and together with Lin Qingwan, they entered the clinic.
Manager Tao had already seen them, so he had someone prepare a private room on the second floor and personally carried a stack of account books upstairs with them.
At the same time, Ruan Tinghuai met Jiang Yanwan at the back gate of the Prime Minister's residence.
His face looked terrible; his once gentle eyes were now wary and uneasy, as if his soul had been ripped out.
Jiang Yanwan also looked very nervous.
"You came to the Prime Minister's residence to find me, are you trying to kill me!" Jiang Yanwan was now walking on thin ice, and at this critical moment, Ruan Tinghuai actually came to find her.
"Miss Jiang, have you forgotten what you promised me?" Ruan Tinghuai said in a low voice, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yanwan certainly remembered, and knew why he had come to find her at this time.
He sneered, "It's because you're useless. Not only did she not go with you, she also went back to the Prime Minister's residence and became the legitimate eldest daughter."
She emphasized the words "young lady" heavily, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Ruan Tinghuai felt as if she were nailed to the cold wall, struggling and bleeding profusely. "If it weren't for your terrible idea, if Jiang Zhenlin and Madam Jiang hadn't pressured her, she would have agreed!"
Ruan Tinghuai blamed Jiang Yanwan for the mistake, as if that would make him feel better.
"Didn't you agree too?" Jiang Yanwan sneered. "You talk as if you're so noble and refined."
"If she really liked you, she wouldn't need you. She wouldn't need my bad advice. It's obvious that you yourself aren't sure."
Jiang Yanwan mercilessly exposed Ruan Tinghuai's deception, asking him who he was to dare question her!
Ruan Tinghuai clenched his fist. "What do we do now?"
Jiang Yanwan paused, then slightly raised her eyelids. "She chose to stay in the Prime Minister's residence, choosing a life of wealth and honor over you. Even so, you still love her?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ruan Tinghuai said, "It's not that she abandoned me! She just didn't want to drag me down with her."
"I was the one who abandoned her first, so I can endure whatever she does to me."
"I know she wants to leave the capital."
Jiang Yanwan narrowed her eyes, thinking about her mother and younger brother's attitude towards her today... Now that she had become a laughing stock in the capital, how could Lin Qingwan have an easy time?
She turned around and gave Xia Yan a few instructions, and soon someone brought out a packet of medicine powder.
Jiang Yanwan said to Ruan Tinghuai, "Think it over. Don't say I forced you."
"This is the last chance. If you succeed, she will have no choice but to go with you. If you fail, she may hate you for the rest of her life, and you will have no way out."
Ruan Tinghuai was filled with fear and hesitated to reach out.
But he remembered the look in the Crown Prince's eyes when he looked at Lin Qingwan.
So, steeling himself, he suddenly snatched the medicine packet, his fingernails nearly scratching Jiang Yanwan's hand.
Jiang Yanwan smiled brightly, "I'll hide the person in the sedan chair and say I'm going out to worship the Buddha, so no one will suspect anything."
Before turning around, she patted Ruan Tinghuai on the shoulder. "I'll wait for your news."
Ruan Tinghuai gripped the medicine packet tightly and closed his eyes in pain.
He will not regret it.
I will treat Qingwan well from now on, give her everything she wants, and I will never let her regret it.
She likes herself. Yes, she likes herself!
