“Dongdongdong——”
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
Jiang Nian walked out and opened the gate.
The person outside the door was obviously frightened by him. He quickly took a step back and lowered his head and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Jiang?"
"Yes. And who are you?"
"I am the steward of General Liang's residence. A few days ago, you and your wife saved General Li. Now General Li has woken up, but he is still unable to get up. I would like to invite you two to my residence to thank you."
Butler Liang represented the reputation of the General's Mansion and had never been servile to ordinary people. However, the General specifically instructed him to be polite when inviting people over and not to offend them.
Jiang Yue walked out of the courtyard and heard it. She refused outright, "I'm glad General Li is alright. We just did it for the sake of convenience. No need to thank me."
Butler Liang didn't expect that these two people would be so disrespectful and even close the door after they finished speaking.
He quickly blocked it with his hands, smiling cheekily, "I'm only following orders. Please don't embarrass me. If you two refuse to come, I won't be able to go back and report."
Jiang Nian frowned, "Get out of the way."
Butler Liang was frightened by his eyes, but thinking of the general's words, he did not dare to retreat.
She grabbed Jiang Nian's arm and said, "Forget it, let's just go once."
If she didn't go this time, she would probably come back next time. The girl from the He family next door told her that the other party had been there before she went to Qingshui City, but she just didn't run into him.
Butler Liang smiled happily, "Thank you, Madam Jiang, for your understanding. It's hot, please get in the carriage."
The servant behind him quickly took the stool and placed it next to the carriage.
The carriage of the general's mansion was just an ordinary carriage. At most, the materials used in the carriage were better, and even the patterns were less carved. It was obvious that this family was not a luxury family.
The street where they lived was not far away, and they arrived at the general's mansion in two quarters of an hour.
Since Madam Jiang was accompanying them, the general's wife accompanied them to entertain the guests.
"General, Madam, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are here."
"Please come in!" The last time he specially visited them but was turned away, the Jiang couple became "mysterious figures" in the general's heart. He kept talking about them, and now he finally met them in person.
At just one glance, General Liang knew that they were definitely not ordinary people.
The man was tall and strong, with pupils lighter than those of an average person and a look of disdain in his eyes.
And this young lady gave him a different feeling, neither humble nor arrogant.
He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, and could only sigh that both of them were good-looking.
Jiang Yue and the others did not kneel, but only bent their waists, "General, Madam."
The housekeeper felt nervous and was about to remind them when he heard the general ask him to leave. He thought that the general probably didn't care.
General Liang asked the two to sit down. The lady beside him looked at them for a while and thought they looked more and more like the young lady. She asked, "Is it the young lady we saw on the road?"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you ma'am for saving me that day."
The lady's smile became much more genuine. At that time, the young lady was seriously injured and looked in a mess. Now her complexion has improved. Although she is not wearing any makeup, she looks energetic.
"Good to hear you found your husband."
It was sheer luck that they were able to meet each other safely despite the earthquake. This kind of luck isn't something everyone has. It also proves that these two are truly a match made in heaven, one that even Heaven couldn't bear to separate.
"Oh? Is this the young lady that Madam met on the road? It seems that our two families are truly destined to be together!"
General Liang had heard his wife mention that she rescued a young lady on the road. The young lady had nothing on her body, but she took out a bag of rice from somewhere and gave it to them.
It's like a myth again!
Could it be that this was really a god sent by heaven to save them?!
The more the general thought about it, the more he felt that it was true!
Jiang Yue suddenly felt that General Liang's eyes looking at them were much warmer. What was going on...
General Liang exchanged a few casual pleasantries, then turned to Jiang Nian and said, "I have something I want to discuss with Young Master Jiang. Why don't we go to the study?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nian didn't give him any face at all. He rejected it coldly, "Yueyue has the final say on our family affairs."
The general's heart sank. It was fine if the young man was quiet, but his words were shocking! In which family was a woman the one who had the final say?
However, both of them were surnamed Jiang, and were said to be married into the family. But even if they were sons-in-law, how could such a tall man be henpecked?
Seeing General Liang's expression stiffen, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "General, my husband doesn't like to talk much. If you have something to say, it's the same if you tell me."
General Liang frowned, not knowing how to start. How could they be the same?
The atmosphere was tense, and at this time the housekeeper came to report that Li Zhi had woken up.
The general's wife said, "Let's go see General Li first. When he woke up yesterday, he wanted to thank his savior."
Because Li Zhi's injuries were too severe to be moved, he recuperated at the General's Mansion, and his son and daughter-in-law moved in with him.
Jiang Yue entered the house. It was stuffy outside, and the house was even more stuffy. The doors and windows were closed, and the air was not circulating. There was also a smell of wound medicine, which was really unpleasant.
When Li Zhigang woke up, he couldn't get up. His wife and son knelt down and said they wanted to thank him for saving their lives.
Jiang Yue was shocked. This kneeling was so real that it hurt her just hearing it. She quickly helped the child up, being careful not to hurt the child's bones.
Li Zhi's wife doesn't look very old, but she has had a hard life in the countryside. There are several deep wrinkles on her face. She raises the children and takes care of the elderly by herself. She has a lively and straightforward personality.
"I'm a country bumpkin, and I can't say nice things. If it weren't for you two, I'd be a widow now. My son is only seven years old, and he might be left without a father. If you need any help in the future, please call me! I'm strong and can work!"
Li Zhi also "loves and fears" his daughter-in-law. She is very direct in her speech and sometimes what she says is unpleasant, but it suits the taste of a rough man like him.
His voice was low, but Jiang Yue could hear it, just some words of thanks. He was weak, and Jiang Yue was afraid he would faint, so she quickly stopped him.
Then he reminded her, "Your wound is too big, and it's summer, so it's easy for dirt to get into it. Madam, it's best to clean the house every day. If you have any atractylodes or mugwort, you can burn them to fumigate the house. You should also open the windows to ventilate the room and let the wind carry away the dirt. Keeping it stuffy won't help the wound heal."
Seeing the hesitation on their faces, he added, "If you're worried about the wind being too strong, put up a screen in front of the window to prevent the wind from blowing directly at you, my Lord."
The general's wife was delighted to see that she was so thoughtful despite her young age. She nodded and said, "Young lady, you are right. I will have my servants move the screen out of my storeroom right now."
After a few words, Li Zhi fell asleep again, so they said goodbye.
However, General Liang took the two men to the backyard.
This backyard is really lively.
