At dawn, Jiang Ling slowly woke up.
She rubbed the back of her neck, which had been bruised by Ye Feng, and frowned as she pondered the events of the previous night.
The image of Jiang Wenxi covered in bruises appeared in Jiang Ling's mind. Jiang Ling suddenly threw off the covers and ran out the door without even putting on her shoes.
"Wenxi! Where's Wenxi!" Jiang Ling had just pushed open the door when she bumped into Ye Feng, who was also walking in.
Ye Feng glanced at his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth, "Wenxi is lying on the bed next to me! Don't worry, it's mostly just superficial injuries. I've already seen a doctor and gotten her the best wound medicine!"
Before Ye Feng could finish explaining, Jiang Ling rushed toward the bed next to her.
Jiang Wenxi had changed into a clean set of pajamas, and Ye Feng had carefully washed her face. But the bruises on her arms and the scabs on her face that hadn't yet scabbed over broke Jiang Ling's heart.
"Mother..." Wenxi slowly opened her eyes and called out weakly.
Upon hearing the word "Mother," Jiang Ling instantly lost control of her emotions. She quickly turned to the side, trying her best to hold back her tears.
"Mother, I'm fine. Master said it's just superficial injuries and will be fine in a while!" Jiang Wenxi comforted Jiang Ling repeatedly.
After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Ling tried to compose herself and looked at Wenxi, who was still smiling at her from the bed, and said softly, "Wenxi, you...you should rest first! I won't disturb you any longer!"
She wiped away the tears from her eyes and turned to leave the bed.
"Master Ye, please come out with me for a moment!" Jiang Ling whispered as she approached Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded and followed Jiang Ling out of the bedroom.
"Huang Pian, did you kill him?" As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, Jiang Ling's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ye Feng shook his head and handed the pistol back to Jiang Ling, saying, "No, I only used this to shoot his thigh last night!"
Jiang Ling took the pistol, glanced at the magazine and nodded.
Ye Feng looked at the pistol in Jiang Ling's hand, and suddenly thought of something. She pointed at the pistol and whispered, "Sister Jiang, is there any medicine to treat being shot by this thing?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling smiled slightly and shook her head: "No, and there's a high probability he'll be left with a lifelong disability. You punched Huang Pian in the leg last night; he probably won't be able to walk for the rest of his life!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly surprised, covered his mouth, and lowered his voice to ask, "Is it really true?"
As she spoke, Jiang Ling had already unloaded all the remaining bullets. Holding the gun, she pointed it in the direction of the Huang residence and said calmly, "Of course. Unless you have to go through bone and flesh to remove the bullets, just wait for that leg to be completely crippled!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a surge of satisfaction. Although he hadn't taken Huang Pian's life, the fact that Huang Pian was now disabled for life made it all worthwhile.
After the two talked for a while, Jiang Ling took out five silver notes from her bosom and placed them in Ye Feng's hand, saying, "Take these silver notes. Use them partly for Wen Xi's treatment and partly to reward Wen Xi's brothers who risked their lives for her last night!"
Ye Feng tried to decline, but Jiang Ling immediately shook her head: "Don't decline! This is all I can do! I really have to thank you for this!"
Seeing Jiang Ling's resolute attitude, Ye Feng didn't know what else to say, so he could only thank her and take the silver notes back.
Although Jiang Ling wanted to stay with Jiang Wenxi, this was not her home after all; it was the Six Doors. She didn't want to bring trouble to Ye Feng, and taking Jiang Wenxi away wasn't appropriate right now, since Huang Pian hadn't been completely brought down yet, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Zhishan.
After much deliberation, Jiang Ling gave up the idea of taking Jiang Wenxi back to Jiang Zhishan's house.
Jiang Ling originally planned to return to Lujia Village after Jiang Zhishan got married, but unexpectedly, Jiang Wenxi got into such a big mess. Jiang Ling decided to completely bring down Huang Pian before going back.
With this in mind, Jiang Ling began to think of a solution.
Before she could even come up with a solution, an unexpected event completely disrupted Jiang Ling's newly settled life.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Wenxi's health gradually improved. Just as Jiang Ling was planning how to kill Huang Pian quietly, Jiang Shan suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ling in a great hurry.
"My lady, something terrible has happened! Master Ye has been arrested!"
"What?" Jiang Ling frowned as she looked at Jiang Shan.
"Huang Pian! I'll prepare the car first, we're going to the Six Doors!" Jiang Shan said succinctly before disappearing from Jiang Ling's bedroom.
Jiang Ling put on her shoes and followed closely behind, but then she remembered something and turned to Nianci beside her, saying, "Nianci, you stay home and behave yourself! Mom has something to take care of!"
Nianci nodded obediently, unaware that his expression had subtly changed.
After Jiang Ling walked away, Nianci quietly left Jiang Zhishan's house and headed in one direction.
After walking for a while, Nianci arrived at a courtyard. He did not rush in, but instead hid to the side and lit a firecracker in his hand.
The sound of the "snap" wasn't loud, but it was heard very clearly inside the courtyard.
Before long, Gu Aqi came out from inside. She looked around and was very happy to see Nianci.
Nianci looked at Gu Aqi and said, "Do you still stand by what you said before?"
Gu Aqi was overjoyed to hear this and nodded, "Of course! You're my son, how could I lie to you!"
Nianci's dark eyes darted around in their sockets as she looked at Gu Aqi and said, "Alright, can you go to the Six Doors and rescue an aunt named Ye Feng?"
"This..." Gu Aqi hesitated for a moment, but seeing Nianci's expectant eyes, he finally agreed.
She nodded and said, "That's no problem! But I must take you to find He Shunsu! That is, your father! Are you willing?"
Nianci hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
Gu Aqi led Nianci toward the Third Prince's residence.
The Third Prince's Residence.
When He Shunsu heard Xiao Hai report that Ah Qi had arrived, he immediately sent someone to relay the message.
Before long, Gu Aqi appeared before him with Nianci, one big and one small.
Looking at his smaller self, He Shunsu was stunned for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "You've come!"
"Call me Father! Xiao Ci!" Gu Aqi pushed Nian Ci toward He Shunsu.
Nianci looked at He Shunsu with some awkwardness, and for a moment the father and son were somewhat embarrassed.
"Forget it, don't pressure the child. By the way, why did you bring him here?" Although He Shunsu was somewhat disappointed, he didn't say anything and turned to ask.
Before Gu Aqi could speak, Nianci blurted out, "Can you save my mother!"
"Your mother?" He Shunsu didn't react for a moment, and looked up at Gu Aqi with some confusion.
"It wasn't me, it was that Jiang family!" Gu Aqi explained.
Upon hearing this, He Shunsu's face immediately turned cold, and he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "No way!"
"No! No, Shun Su, don't do this. At least she took care of Xiao Ci and didn't mistreat her. Even for that reason, you should help her!" Gu Aqi was worried that the relationship she had just built with Nian Ci would be ruined, so she quickly comforted He Shun Su.
