And not taking responsibility.
Does she think she can do whatever she wants with the master?
Jun Shen wasn’t angry; instead, he smiled.
Jiang Yan was stunned by his smile, this man was truly bewitching, his smile was like a spring breeze.
“Stop the carriage!”
Jiang Yan felt if she continued like this, she might lose control.
“Master…”
Qing San didn’t dare make a decision on his own, after all, this girl had just threatened his master with a dagger.
Jun Shen’s deep voice sounded, “To the city!”
Jiang Yan couldn’t hold on much longer, not wanting to stab herself again, she endured the discomfort and said, “If you don’t want to let me go, just knock me out. Otherwise, later on, I really might…”
What an interesting girl.
Jun Shen pursed his lips, ready to fulfill her wish.
Jiang Yan instinctively leaned back, “Um, can you be gentle?”
“Are you afraid of pain?”
Jun Shen raised an eyebrow slightly.
Jiang Yan knew what he meant, she didn’t say anything more, even leaned forward.
Jun Shen felt an inexplicable urge to laugh, noticing his own emotional change, he quickly knocked Jiang Yan out.
Jiang Yan fell into his arms.
Looking at Jiang Yan who had fallen into his embrace, Jun Shen reached out to scoop her up and placed her on the soft couch behind.
Qing San, seeing no instruction from his master, peeked through the curtain, just in time to see this scene.
What did he just witness!
His master actually embraced this girl.
Is this something he should see?
Qing San quickly closed the curtain and continued driving the carriage towards the town.
“To the villa.”
Jun Shen sat down and said.
“Yes, Master.”
Qing San drove the carriage into the city and headed north.
Upon reaching their destination.
Qing San was the first to jump off the carriage, setting up the steps. He was about to ask Jun Shen if he should fetch a doctor.
Jun Shen walked out of the carriage carrying Jiang Yan.
Seeing Jiang Yan nestled in his master’s arms, Qing San inexplicably thought they looked quite good together.
“Master, should I…”
He was about to ask about fetching a doctor.
But Jun Shen thought he wanted to carry Jiang Yan.
“No need, go fetch the doctor.”
Qing San realized what was meant, twitched his mouth, does he look that clueless?
After Jun Shen carried Jiang Yan into the villa.
Qing San quickly drove the carriage to fetch Dr. Jiang from Huichun Hall to treat Jiang Yan.
Dr. Jiang had already been briefed about Jiang Yan’s condition on the way.
Upon arrival, he immediately took her pulse.
Then he started cleaning her wounds.
After bandaging her up.
He began to apply acupuncture. Acupuncture couldn’t completely remove the effects of the drugs in Jiang Yan’s system, so he prescribed two more doses of Chinese medicine.
…
Jiang Yan didn’t wake up until the afternoon.
Upon waking, her mouth felt terribly bitter.
Qing San had been watching over her the whole time. Seeing her awake, he happily approached: “Miss Jiang, you’re finally awake. How do you feel now?”
Jiang Yan’s voice was somewhat hoarse as she said, “Thank you, I feel much better. Could you pour me a glass of water?”
“You don’t have to be so polite. I’ll get it for you right away.”
Qing San quickly went to fetch the water.
It was because there were no women to serve around his master.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to do it.
Handing the water to Jiang Yan, Qing San didn’t dare to linger and quickly went to the next room to inform Jun Shen of her awakening.
At that moment, Jun Shen was reading. Upon hearing that Jiang Yan had woken up, he merely acknowledged it without saying much.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Jiang Yan began knocking on the door from outside.
“Come in!”
Jun Shen continued reading his book.
Jiang Yan stepped into the room and thanked Jun Shen again: “Young Master, thank you so much today. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened to me.”
“My name is Jun Shen.”
Jun Shen put down his book and said.
Jun Shen?
His surname is Jun?
Meeting his gaze, Jiang Yan said, “Young Master Jun, thank you. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me.”
“Good!”
Jun Shen agreed.
Jiang Yan had glanced at the sky earlier, naturally knowing it was getting late.
Seeing Jun Shen had nothing more to say, she prepared to leave: “Young Master Jun, I haven’t been home for a while, and my family must be worried. I won’t stay long. If you don’t mind the food from our shop, you can come and eat there; it’ll be my treat.”
“Hmm.”
Jun Shen instructed Qing San to see her out.
As soon as Jiang Yan left, Jun Shen took a carriage to Baiwei Zhai.
Ouyang Siyun had made an appointment with Jun Shen in the morning, but after waiting all morning without seeing him, he went home.
Naturally, he wasn’t at Baiwei Zhai now.
So, Jun Shen took the carriage to his house.
Bored at home, Ouyang Siyun was fishing by the pond, catching and then releasing the fish.
Upon learning of Jun Shen’s arrival.
Ouyang Siyun had someone put away the fishing rod and sat in the pavilion drinking tea while waiting for him.
Upon seeing him.
Ouyang Siyun immediately started teasing: “I thought you got lost!”
Jun Shen didn’t explain and walked into the pavilion, sitting opposite him.
Feeling uneasy, Ouyang Siyun asked, “No explanation? Where have you been all this time? I made an appointment with you in the morning, and you show up in the afternoon! Is that how you do things?”
Qing San arrived just in time to hear this and quickly said, “My master was delayed by something.”
“Delayed by what?”
Ouyang Siyun asked curiously.
Qing San was about to speak.
Jun Shen glanced at him.
Qing San didn’t dare to continue.
This made Ouyang Siyun even more curious: “Jun Shen, are we still friends? You don’t tell me anything.”
Jun Shen had no intention of telling Ouyang Siyun about this matter.
He changed the subject: “What did you want when you called me here?”
“Can’t I call you over if there’s nothing?”
Ouyang Siyun said this, but soon had someone prepare pork sauce noodles, and a plate of pork floss was brought over.
Seeing Jun Shen eat the noodles and pork floss thoroughly.
Ouyang Siyun asked with a grin: “How is it, good, right?!”
“Did Jiang Yan make it?”
Jun Shen didn’t answer but asked in return.
Ouyang Siyun, of course, wouldn’t hide it from Jun Shen. He nodded and praised, “Jiang Yan is truly amazing. Look how quickly she’s come up with all these delicious dishes.”
Jun Shen recalled the past and said, “Indeed, she’s quite impressive.”
Chapter 42: No Need for Thanks, We’re Not Strangers
On Jiang Yan’s side.
After leaving Jun Shen’s villa, she didn’t go home immediately but instead rented an oxcart to find the coachman from before.
She thought she might not find him.
Unexpectedly.
The coachman was waiting for her at the city gate.
Seeing Jiang Yan approach, the coachman hurried over: “Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, thank you.”
Jiang Yan paid him three times the fare.
The coachman felt a bit embarrassed: “Miss, you don’t have to give me so much, I didn’t even help…”
“I delayed your business, you deserve this.”
Jiang Yan handed him the money without any hesitation.
The coachman hesitated, not wanting to ask further. What if Jiang Yan had been harmed by those bad people? He didn’t want to bring up painful memories.
Jiang Yan noticed his concern.
She looked at the coachman and said, “Uncle, I know martial arts; I chased them away.”
Seeing she didn’t seem to be lying.
The coachman scratched his head, embarrassed, and then helped Jiang Yan transfer her belongings to another oxcart.
The other oxcart driver didn’t just stand by and watch.
He also helped with the transfer.
There wasn’t much to move.
