Jiang Dazhuang Wakes Up
Zhao Xiaonian just chuckled, about to say he wasn’t lying, when his line of sight fell on the person walking in from outside the courtyard. He immediately frowned and said, “This Female Benefactor has been poisoned. From now on, you must not touch those poisonous things again, lest you damage your body and suffer an early demise.”
Jiang Yimian was startled. She looked at Liuer walking in from outside the house and raised her eyebrows. “What? Have you decided?”
After waiting for several days, she thought the other party had their own plans and didn’t want to stay here.
Liuer nodded, glanced at Zhao Xiaonian, her expression somewhat strange, neither anger nor anything else.
Jiang Yimian quickly explained, “Ignore him. He’s just talking nonsense. He tells everyone they’ll have an early demise. It’s so inauspicious.”
Zhao Xiaonian wanted to retort, but he felt that the words were indeed inappropriate, so he just closed his mouth sheepishly.
Although his skills were not perfect, the destiny he calculated was still correct.
Liuer nodded, looked at Zhao Xiaonian a few more times before saying, “Let’s find a quiet place to have a good chat.”
Jiang Yimian nodded, ignoring Zhao Xiaonian, who was still talking nonsense, and took Liuer straight to a quiet wing.
As soon as they sat down, Liuer said straightforwardly, “I don’t need your help to cure the poison on my face. I did it on purpose.”
Being too beautiful in this estate is not a good thing.
Jiang Yimian looked at the dark red birthmark on her face, then thought of the situation in the estate, nodded, and said, “Good. What about what I said that day? Will you help me manage the estate?”
Liuer simply nodded and said, “Okay, just tell me what you need to do. I only have one request.”
“Tell me.”
“I want to live in my original courtyard,” Liuer said seriously.
She had spent a lot of effort on this. Now, if she left, that thing would be wasted. It had been painstakingly cultivated; she couldn’t give up halfway.
Jiang Yimian was curious but didn’t ask much, only saying, “Okay, I don’t care what you do, but you must promise not to harm anyone in the estate.”
Although she hadn’t deliberately investigated what Liuer was doing, she learned from Old Chen that this person was also a master of using poison,
probably raising some poisonous creatures in this estate.
Liuer quickly nodded and smiled, “Jiang Girl, rest assured, I will definitely not harm others.”
That thing is not an ordinary poisonous creature. Once it appears, it will be sought after by all toxicologists. It’s too precious to hide, so how could she use it to harm people?
Jiang Yimian was relieved.
Liuer thought of something, hesitated for a while, then tentatively asked, “Jiang Girl, will everyone on the estate be just workers in the future?”
Jiang Yimian looked at her questioningly, not quite understanding what she meant.
Liuer was silent for a long time before saying, “You won’t let them receive guests like Zhu Shichang did, will you?”
Although she could clearly feel that this person was pretty good after these few days of getting along, she was afraid of the unexpected. If this person was just deceiving them and still using them to receive guests, then it would be better to escape.
Although she used to help Zhu Shichang, she would still help the innocent people here as much as she could.
She didn’t want to see these people, after finally having hope, become disappointed again.
It’s better to live in disappointment all along.
Jiang Yimian looked at the other party in surprise and quickly said, “No, they are all ordinary workers, maids, and servants here. They only need to do their own jobs.”
She thought this person wouldn’t care about others, but it seems she misunderstood.
Rather than using someone of unknown origin with many secrets, she would rather use someone who always has kindness in their heart.
Liuer breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, “What is the relationship between Young Master Lin and Zhu Shichang?”
Although that guy was a bit strange, she had already equated him with Zhu Shichang in her heart because of his association with Zhu Shichang. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have treated him according to the old methods in the beginning.
Jiang Yimian could only smile at her and explain, “They don’t know each other. Zhu Shichang wanted to cooperate with Lin Yanan because of some things, so Lin Yanan came to the estate unwillingly.”
Thinking of Lin Yanan still glaring at the estate and cursing before leaving, if he hadn’t heard that the estate was already hers, he would have bought the estate and ordered it to be demolished on the spot, she wanted to laugh.
Lin Yanan would probably never forget what happened here.
Liuer was startled. She didn’t expect this answer. Her firm idea was subtly shaken. Did she misunderstand that day?
That guy looked like a spoiled young master, but she didn’t expect him not to be the same kind of person as Zhu Shichang.
No wonder the other party specifically came to find her a few days ago, unwillingly proving his innocence, and shouting that as a staunch citizen of Great Jin, how could he have such low tastes.
She just thought he was quibbling and drove him away directly.
It turns out she misunderstood.
Just then, Zhao Xiaonian’s excited voice came from outside the door, “Sister Yimian, Uncle Jiang is awake. Come quickly.”
Jiang Yimian was stunned when she heard this, and without bothering to continue talking to Liuer, she quickly went to the next room.
As soon as she entered, she saw the man who had been in a coma for several days, dazed and unconscious, now being helped up from the bed by Lu Cijian.
The man’s face was still pale, his thin body lacked strength as Lu Cijian helped him sit up. His eyes were constantly vigilant, watching his surroundings, his whole body tense, clearly afraid.
Until Zhao Xiaonian rushed in excitedly.
His expression immediately brightened. Before he could ask, he saw Jiang Yimian following behind.
He was stunned, his eyes instantly reddened. His voice was hoarse, and he said incredulously, “Yimian, are you Yimian?”
He really couldn’t believe it. When did the skinny little daughter grow so tall? If it weren’t for the shadow of the past in her eyebrows and eyes, he wouldn’t have recognized her as his daughter.
Seeing his excited look, Jiang Yimian felt a little sour in her heart and nodded stiffly.
Jiang Dazhuang quickly said, “Quickly, let Father see you.”
He said, lifting the quilt and trying to get out of bed.
Jiang Yimian quickly stepped forward, pressing him down and calling out awkwardly, “Father, you’re still injured. Don’t move around. Rest well in bed.”
The man’s complexion was already bad, and coupled with long-term labor, he was dry and thin. His red eyes were particularly noticeable.
His whole body was so thin, he looked no different from a refugee.
Jiang Dazhuang just shook his head with red eyes and murmured softly, “It’s okay, Father is okay. Yimian, how are you here? Were you also taken to the mine by those people?
Your mother, Elder Brother, younger siblings, are they alright? Did anything happen to them?”
He didn’t dare to think about what his wife and children would suffer if they were taken to the mine. He had suffered enough alone. He didn’t want his family to suffer with him.
If he hadn’t been thinking of his family for more than a year, he wouldn’t have survived.
