Considering how hard it was to conceive one, he couldn’t imagine how Jiang Yan had managed with three.
During her toughest times.
He wasn’t by her side.
He was a terrible husband.
Thinking of what Ouyang Siyun and Long Tingsnow had done, Jun Shen clenched his fists tightly.
The next day.
Realizing Jiang Yan didn’t remember the past.
Jun Shen sent a message back, instructing Qing Yi to secretly bring their master to Haizhen to examine Jiang Yan, to determine if her memory loss was due to amnesia or some other cause.
Jiang Yan, of course, knew nothing of this.
She now spent her days either with her children or going with Jiang Xiaoxia to gather seafood.
Originally, Jiang Xiaoxia worked in a shop in town.
Jiang Yan, not wanting her sister to work so hard, brought her back to the village to work in the workshop, still giving her a share of the profits.
The better she treated her.
The more guilty Jiang Xiaoxia felt, but she still didn’t dare tell Jiang Yan the truth.
Partly out of fear of Ouyang Siyun’s retaliation, partly because she feared Jiang Yan would hate them if she knew the truth.
Jiang Yan didn’t notice anything unusual about Jiang Xiaoxia because she was busy hiring people to expand her workshop, now that she had money, she wanted to grow her business.
At the end of July.
Elder Bai arrived in Haizhen.
Upon meeting him, Jun Shen explained Jiang Yan’s situation.
“Although there’s no lump on her head, it doesn’t rule out internal bleeding causing her to forget the past. How did you protect her back then to let her end up like this!”
Elder Bai scolded Jun Shen as he spoke.
If it were any other time.
Jun Shen would have retorted.
But not this time.
Jun Shen felt he deserved the scolding and said, “Master, go ahead and scold me. I deserve it!”
Caught off guard by this.
Elder Bai was not used to it. He coughed and said, “Aren’t you going to take me to see her?”
Jun Shen pursed his lips and said, “Master, she doesn’t recognize me at all. I’ve only seen her once since I’ve been here, and that was on the day I arrived. After that, I’ve only been sneaking around to see her.”
Elder Bai was speechless. Why is this disciple getting more and more timid?
Jun Shen seemed to understand what Elder Bai was thinking; he told him about the situation in Jiang Yan’s village.
Elder Bai immediately said, “It must be that brat’s arrangement. What are you afraid of? Just go live in their village. It’s a perfect opportunity to let Ouyang Siyun know you’ve found Jiang Yan, and see what he does!”
Feeling that his master made sense.
The next day, Jun Shen and Elder Bai went to Jiang Yan’s village and found an unoccupied house to live in.
Jiang Xiaoxia and the others didn’t know Jun Shen and his group. Seeing strangers suddenly appear in the village, they were naturally surprised, and immediately sent a message to Ouyang Siyun through Jiang Xiaoxia, asking what was going on.
Elder Bai couldn’t stay idle.
Just as they settled in.
Elder Bai went to visit Jiang Yan’s house.
Jiang Yan was surprised to see Elder Bai at their home: “Elder, what brings you to our house?”
“My disciple and I just moved to your village today, came to greet you,” Elder Bai said, looking at Jiang Yan.
“Oh, I see.”
Jiang Yan was surprised because no one had moved into their village for a long time.
Elder Bai then said, “Girl, you don’t look well. I’m a doctor, how about I check your pulse?”
Jiang Xiaoxia, who had just arrived, heard this and stepped forward with a stern face, confronting Elder Bai, “Where did you come from, old man? Are you trying to trick my sister into giving you her money?!”
Chapter 128: Our Friendship Ends Today
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai blinked and said softly, “Sister, is she really your sister?”
Jiang Xiaoxia’s expression visibly stiffened.
She snapped back irritably, “She’s not my sister, is she yours? You old man, stop talking nonsense and get out!”
“You really are a fierce girl, I’ll leave then!”
Elder Bai turned and left.
As soon as he was gone.
Jiang Xiaoxia started talking to Jiang Yan: “Little sister, be cautious with strangers in the future. Don’t believe everything they say; what if they’re bad people?”
“Sis, I know, you don’t have to worry so much about me.”
Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoxia couldn’t smile. She felt that Jun Shen and his group were here for Jiang Yan.
That night.
When the night was deep and quiet.
Jun Shen brought Elder Bai to Jiang Yan’s room, tapped her sleep point, and then had him check her pulse.
Elder Bai sat on a stool and seriously took Jiang Yan’s pulse.
After checking both hands.
Elder Bai instantly understood; he looked at Jun Shen and said, “There’s no blood clot in her head. The reason she doesn’t remember the past must be because Ouyang Siyun had her take Forget-Worry Pill.”
“Forget-Worry Pill?”
Jun Shen had never heard of this name.
He wasn’t surprised that Elder Bai knew, as he had only taught him martial arts, not medical skills.
Elder Bai explained, “Forget-Worry Pill is made from various herbs; it can make one forget all past events. Isn’t it fitting for forgetting worries?”
Ouyang Siyun!
Jun Shen felt like beating him again.
Jun Shen looked at Elder Bai and asked, “Master, is there a cure for the Forget-Worry Pill? Can Jiang Yan remember her past?”
Elder Bai stroked his beard and said, “Of course there’s a cure, but it won’t be quick. It’ll take about half a year. During this time, she’ll need acupuncture every other day.”
“What about medication?”
Jun Shen asked again.
Elder Bai was straightforward, “Medication would be best, but do you think you can get her to cooperate?”
She runs away whenever she sees him.
Getting her to willingly take medicine.
Indeed, it’s not easy.
The next day, Jun Shen saw Jiang Yan was going to the beach with Jiang Xiaoxia to gather seafood. He called Qing Yi and Qing Er to bring buckets and followed them out.
Jiang Yan saw him and immediately moved away.
Afraid he might act the same way he did before.
Jiang Xiaoxia noticed Jiang Yan’s reaction and asked, “Little sister, have you met this man before?”
“Yes.”
“He seems a bit off.”
Jiang Yan said while picking up sea urchins.
A bit off?
Why would she say that?
Jiang Xiaoxia instinctively asked, “Little sister, why do you think he’s off? What seems abnormal about him?”
“He kept shouting random names at me. Doesn’t that sound like he has issues?”
Jiang Yan honestly told Jiang Xiaoxia.
Jiang Xiaoxia’s face changed instantly, dropping the sea urchin she had picked up.
Jiang Yan caught the strange look on Jiang Xiaoxia’s face and wondered why her sister reacted so strongly to her words.
Jiang Xiaoxia, noticing Jiang Yan staring at her, quickly said, “I, I also think he’s a bit off. Little sister, stay away from him in the future, just in case he goes mad and hurts you.”
“I know.”
Jiang Yan responded verbally, but inside, she felt Jiang Xiaoxia was acting strangely.
When they were ready to go back.
Jun Shen handed the things they had gathered to Jiang Yan, saying, “We don’t know how to cook these, could you help us, miss? Don’t worry, I’ll pay you.”
“My little sister won’t cook for you, go find someone else!”
Jiang Xiaoxia pulled Jiang Yan away.
Qing Yi watched his young mistress being dragged away and said, “Master, should I teach that girl a lesson so she doesn’t get in the way?”
Jun Shen didn’t let him go.
Although he hadn’t interacted with Jiang Yan much, he knew Jiang Xiaoxia held some importance in her heart.
It was clear she had treated Jiang Yan well these days.
…
In August.
Ouyang Siyun received a letter from Jiang Xiaoxia, learning that a few people had come to their village and were all staying there.
They might even know Jiang Yan.
