The Young Master’s Mood Is Truly Unfathomable
Zhao Xiaonian’s eyes welled up as he thought of Liu Changsong and Jiang Dazhuang’s care for him on the mountain, “It’s all because of me, Uncle Liu died, and Uncle Jiang was also injured because of me.”
Why did everyone who was kind to him end up like this?
One died tragically in the dense forest, and the other is bedridden with a serious injury that hasn’t healed, yet he’s perfectly fine.
He was truly well-protected by Uncle Jiang and Uncle Liu.
Jiang Yimian just helplessly bent down, smiling, “Don’t think of yourself as that important. My father was injured because of those people on the mountain; what does it have to do with you?
If you insist on taking responsibility, does that mean everyone else who got beaten up was also because of you?
As for Uncle Liu, he’s alive and well now. If he hadn’t successfully escaped from the mine, we wouldn’t have known about the mine’s existence. When I get back, I’ll tell him about what happened on the mountain.
You don’t need to worry about him not knowing.”
If Liu Changsong knew that the mine was gone and Father and Zhao Xiaonian were fine, he would probably be happy, and maybe he wouldn’t go crazy from fear anymore.
In the future, everyone can start over and live a good life.
Zhao Xiaonian was startled, widening his eyes in disbelief, “You’re not lying? Uncle Liu is really alright?”
Everyone on the mountain said Uncle Liu was dead, and died horribly. He believed it and had been very upset for a long time, and he hadn’t dared to tell Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said calmly, “Why would I lie to you? If we hadn’t received news from Uncle Liu, how could we have suddenly come to the mine?
If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people on the mountain. They just made up the lie to keep you from escaping.
You usually seem quite smart, why are you so stupid at crucial moments? That time in the cave was the same, stopping someone isn’t about risking your own life.”
Thinking back to the time in the cave when Zhao Xiaonian let Wang Jinbao carry Jiang Dazhuang away while he hugged the man with the Broadsword, she felt her heart pound.
If she had been even a moment later, that Broadsword would have certainly chopped off his neck.
Zhao Xiaonian wiped away his tears, snorted, and said angrily, “Who’s stupid? I’ve always been smart, stop talking nonsense.
If it weren’t for the fact that you saved me and Uncle Jiang yesterday, I wouldn’t bother with you, hmph.”
Jiang Yimian didn’t bother to pay him any more attention, and went straight into the house. After carefully checking Jiang Dazhuang’s injuries, she was relieved.
Zhao Xiaonian seemed careless, but he was surprisingly meticulous. He not only changed Jiang Dazhuang’s medicine and gauze but also wiped his body and changed his clothes.
Zhao Xiaonian just stood at the doorway nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to worry about this. I’m here, I’ll take care of changing Uncle Jiang’s medicine. You should go see the rescued miners.”
He had helped out in the front hall yesterday, so he knew how seriously those people were injured. They were carried down the mountain one by one, bloody and miserable.
Although he had seen it before, seeing so many at once was still quite shocking.
Fortunately, those doctors were quite skilled; they stopped the bleeding for most of them, saving their lives.
Jiang Yimian just smiled, “Thank you very much, then.”
She did indeed need to go see the other wounded, and it was good that Zhao Xiaonian could help here. She was afraid that Jiang Dazhuang would wake up, and she wouldn’t know how to face him.
Zhao Xiaonian just nodded, then thought of something and asked strangely, “The person who was with you yesterday was so seriously injured, how come I heard that he went up the mountain? He’s really reckless.”
He thought those people were joking until he heard Song Er and the others say that it was just an ordinary thing, then he realized it might be true.
Yesterday, the other person was carried down the mountain, bloody. He saw it with his own eyes. He should have been lying down for three or four days before he could barely get out of bed, but that person got out of bed the next day and went up the mountain. He’s unbelievably tough.
Jiang Yimian silently agreed in her heart. Indeed, Lu Cijian really didn’t care about his body. He was so seriously injured, yet he dared to run around. When he comes back, she’ll definitely give him a good scolding.
Lu Cijian, who was about to be scolded, was frowning at the collapsed cave, “Didn’t you find anything?”
He had heard this morning that someone had found a hidden cave on the mountain, so he rushed up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, after digging all morning, they found nothing.
Song Er nervously scratched his head and respectfully said, “It’s my incompetence. I didn’t catch the Masked Man yesterday.”
It happened so suddenly. As soon as the Masked Man came out, he threw hidden weapons at them. They just dodged, and then there was a huge explosion in the cave, causing the ground to shake violently.
In order to avoid the collapsing debris, they could only lie on the ground.
Unexpectedly, the Masked Man escaped.
Lu Cijian said calmly, “I didn’t expect you to catch him anyway.”
That person’s martial arts skills were profound. Even he and Yimian could only barely hold him back, let alone Song Er and the others.
After the cave collapsed, that person would naturally escape quickly and wouldn’t get entangled with Song Er and the others. It’s just that I wonder if this has anything to do with the Chu Prince.
Pingjiang County is an independent county, not subject to the surrounding prefectural cities, but directly controlled by the Capital.
But because it’s still some distance from the Capital, it actually gives Pingjiang County a lot of convenience.
If it really is the Chu Prince’s territory, even though they didn’t catch the person, they did uncover a secret that the Chu Prince had hidden for many years, solving this hidden danger, which isn’t a bad thing.
Just as he was thinking, Wang San suddenly said, “Young Master, Miss Jiang is awake.”
Lu Cijian was startled, and after a long while, he calmly said, “Song Er, continue to search the mountain with your men and see if you can find anything useful.”
After saying that, he quickly walked down the mountain, seeming rather eager.
Seeing this, Wang San was surprised and quickly followed.
Why did he feel a sense of urgency from the Young Master’s footsteps?
After walking some distance, Lu Cijian said, “When did Mianmian wake up? What is she doing now?”
Wang San thought for a while and said, “She woke up about an hour ago. She should be in the backyard with Young Master Lin.”
Lin Yanan didn’t stop walking, and just coldly “Hmm”-ed.
Wang San followed, feeling that the atmosphere had gotten a bit heavy. He bravely said, “Young Master, are you going to see Miss Jiang?”
Lu Cijian simply said, “No need, I’ll go to the study first and have you report everything you’ve found to me.”
Wang San was startled, and after a long while, he “Oh”-ed, feeling very confused.
Just now he was told to tell him immediately when Miss Jiang woke up, and he was told to prepare hot water and clothes, and food, but now that she’s awake, he’s going to the study instead. He really doesn’t understand!
His Young Master’s mood is truly unfathomable.
