Ouyang Yuefeng would have been beyond saving.
Jun Nuo was overjoyed to learn that Ouyang Yuefeng was not dead, but what the doctor said next made her heart sink again.
Chapter 171: This is for you, as a keepsake
“Although he’s not in immediate danger, I can’t guarantee there won’t be complications later. If something happens tonight, it could be very likely…”
The doctor didn’t finish his sentence because he knew they understood his meaning.
Without waiting for their response, the doctor quickly started treating Ouyang Yuefeng’s wounds.
As soon as he was done, Jun Nuo urged Ouyang Luoyuan and the others to take Ouyang Yuefeng away.
Once outside the clinic, Jun Nuo turned to them and said, “You take him home, I’ll go to the palace!”
Compared to the doctors in the capital, Jun Nuo naturally trusted the imperial physicians more.
Ouyang Luoyuan and the others had no objections. After parting ways with Jun Nuo, they took Ouyang Yuefeng home.
Ouyang Siyun and his wife, seeing their son so badly injured, were both furious and asked what had happened.
After understanding the situation, Ouyang Siyun and his wife felt a bitter taste in their hearts; their son must have really liked Jun Nuo to put himself in such a state for her.
They had planned to go to the palace to request an imperial physician, but upon learning that Jun Nuo had already gone, they decided not to.
The imperial physicians were indeed better than the local doctors, but they still couldn’t guarantee Ouyang Yuefeng’s safety.
Worried about Ouyang Yuefeng, Jun Nuo didn’t return home all night, staying by his side.
In the morning, Ouyang Yuefeng opened his eyes to see Jun Nuo sleeping beside him. He tried to cover her with a blanket, but the movement pulled at his wound, causing him to wince in pain.
His sound woke Jun Nuo up.
Jun Nuo immediately stopped him, “You fool, don’t you know you’re injured? Moving around like that, do you want to die?”
She cared about him.
That’s great!
After this incident, Ouyang Yuefeng didn’t want to let go anymore. He grabbed Jun Nuo’s hand and said, “For you, I’m willing to do anything, even if it means giving up my life.”
“If I really died, I’d belong to someone else.”
“Lie down!”
Although Jun Nuo was harsh with her words, her actions were gentle as she helped him lie down.
As soon as he lay down, Ouyang Yuefeng held Jun Nuo’s hand again, “Jun Nuo, don’t be with Jiang Weimian, don’t marry him. If you’re going to marry, marry me. After marrying me, you can do whatever you want, and I’ll be with you.”
Jun Nuo sat by the bed, looking at Ouyang Yuefeng, and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be with him anymore. After last night, I realized you’re the one I care about the most.”
Ouyang Yuefeng was stunned.
After coming back to his senses, he looked at Jun Nuo in disbelief and said, “Jun Nuo, are you serious? You’re not just saying this to cheer me up because I’m injured, are you?”
Seeing him like this, Jun Nuo slightly raised the corner of her mouth, “Have you ever seen me comfort someone like this?”
Ouyang Yuefeng pulled Jun Nuo into his embrace.
Even though it hurt his wound, at this moment, he didn’t care about the pain.
“Jun Nuo, I’m so happy…”
Jun Nuo gently patted Ouyang Yuefeng a few times, “You fool, let me go. At this rate, when will your injury heal?”
“It’s okay, I won’t die.”
Ouyang Yuefeng held her tightly, not letting go.
Jun Nuo, fearing she might hurt him, let him be.
After a while, Ouyang Yuefeng finally let her go.
Afraid she might go see Jiang Weimian again, Ouyang Yuefeng told her about his suspicion of being targeted for assassination.
“Nuo, I suspect Jiang Weimian sent those men because I haven’t offended anyone in the capital until he arrived, and then this happened.”
“That… that can’t be, right?”
Jun Nuo found it hard to believe.
Ouyang Yuefeng wasn’t angry; he calmly said, “Some people aren’t as good as they seem. I’m not trying to ruin his image in your heart; I just want you to be cautious. I’m afraid he might do something to you, so it’s best not to see him. If you must, take some people with you…”
He said this, knowing he might not be able to stop her.
After speaking, Ouyang Yuefeng continued, “Who knows, maybe last night’s attack on you was also arranged by him. He wanted to play the hero, but didn’t expect I’d be there.”
Indeed, Ouyang Yuefeng had guessed correctly.
Jun Nuo still had her doubts.
Her attitude made Ouyang Yuefeng very uneasy about her.
After she left, Ouyang Yuefeng summoned his father and asked for several shadow guards to secretly protect Jun Nuo.
On the other side, after leaving Ouyang Yuefeng’s place, Jun Nuo’s heart was in turmoil for a long time. After some deliberation, she decided to confront Jiang Weimian.
Before going, she thought about what Ouyang Yuefeng had said.
Jun Nuo returned home to pick up several shadow guards before heading to Jiang Weimian’s place.
When she arrived, Jiang Weimian was trimming the branches in the garden.
Seeing her, Jiang Weimian invited her to sit in the gazebo in the center of the garden. Jun Nu followed him and sat down. Not long after sitting down, she started talking about Ouyang Yuefeng’s condition: “Ouyang Yuefeng has woken up now.”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
Jiang Weimian reached out to pour a cup of brewed tea for Jun Nu.
Jun Nu didn’t drink; her gaze fell on Jiang Weimian’s face as she said, “Brother Jiang, I thought a lot last night, and now I can answer you. I can’t marry you because I realized that the person I really like is Ouyang Yuefeng.”
Jiang Weimian had guessed as much, but he still felt uncomfortable inside.
“You like him, what about me?”
Jun Nu apologetically said, “Brother Jiang, I’m sorry. I always thought I liked you, but now I realize it was just a misconception. The person in my heart isn’t you, it’s Ouyang Yuefeng.”
He had truly prepared the dowry for Ouyang Yuefeng!
Jiang Weimian clenched his hand that was resting at his side.
“Brother Jiang, today is the last time I’ll come to see you alone. If I come again in the future, I won’t be alone. Because I plan to marry Ouyang Yuefeng.”
Jun Nu said this partly because she genuinely felt this way, and partly to test Jiang Weimian.
Of course, Jiang Weimian wouldn’t let it go just like that. He said, “Jun Nu, since that’s the case, would you stay with me for one more day today?”
Jun Nu pretended to hesitate for a moment, then agreed.
Jiang Weimian then took Jun Nu out to enjoy themselves. They had lunch at the best restaurant in the capital and returned to the villa in the afternoon.
In the late afternoon.
Jun Nu bid farewell to Jiang Weimian.
Jiang Weimian invited her to stay for dinner at the villa, saying he had hunters prepare plenty of game, and they would have a wild game feast tonight.
Jun Nu, who usually loved such food, couldn’t act differently now, so she agreed.
Dinner.
Jiang Weimian took Jun Nu to dine in the garden.
After dinner.
Jiang Weimian took out a box and handed it to Jun Nu: “This is for you, as a keepsake.”
What did he give her?
Jun Nu hesitated and didn’t accept it: “Brother Jiang, keep it. It’s not appropriate for me to take anything from you now.”
Chapter 172: What Are You Trying to Do
“Jun Nu, am I so unworthy of your remembrance?”
As soon as Jiang Weimian said this, Jun Nu reluctantly accepted it.
After staying for a short while, Jun Nu bid farewell to Jiang Weimian again.
This time.
Jiang Weimian didn’t try to keep her.
Jun Nu left with the box and got into the carriage. Once inside, she placed the box on the side table.
After examining the box for a while.
Just as she was about to open it to look inside.
Ouyang Yuefeng’s voice came from ahead.
“Jun Nu!”
Jun Nu immediately asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
