Chapter 20
It was a small medical clinic with a small store, but the doctor's medical skills were good. As soon as the needle was inserted, Jiang Wu stopped moving and fell asleep.
Xiao Ji, whose neck was red from her random touching and kissing along the way, was simply relieved when he saw this. He quickly put Jiang Wu on the hospital bed and wiped the area where she had kissed with his sleeve, feeling very awkward. But the girl didn't mean it, and he couldn't blame her. He could only try to forget it.
After examining Jiang Wu, the doctor said that what she had taken was one of the most common pleasure-enhancing drugs in the market. The drug is not very strong and does not cause much harm to people. She can use a silver needle to force out the drug and she will be fine. Xiao Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, pointed to Jiang Wu's blood-stained sleeves and said, "Her hand is also injured."
After the doctor helped Jiang Wu relieve the effects of the medicine, he also treated the injury on her forearm.
It might hurt a little when the bandage was applied, but Jiang Wu woke up. Seeing her open her eyes and push herself up suddenly, the doctor quickly stopped her: "Girl, don't move, she'll be fine soon!"
Ye Fei, who was beside Xiao Ji, also said quickly: "Don't be afraid, girl, this is a medical center, you are safe."
Jiang Wu, whose thoughts were a little confused when he first woke up, was startled and remembered what happened before he fell into coma. She looked around, the wariness on her face quickly turning into gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang, for your help. The little girl is very grateful."
The doctor was still nearby. Jiang Wu didn't know if Xiao Ji wanted his identity to be known, so he changed his story temporarily.
Xiao Ji looked at her clear eyes, which seemed to be brimming with clear water. He felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, and his face, which was no longer hot, felt faintly warm again. He looked away with a sullen expression and said, "No, you saved me too, so we are even."
The way he spoke with his eyelids raised was cool, and his tone was not as gentle and warm as the rumors said, but Jiang Wu had the feeling that he was indeed a good person.
But, how could he happen to appear in that small courtyard?
At this time, the doctor bandaged her wound. Jiang Wu thanked him and sat up. She looked at Xiao Ji again and asked her doubts.
Ye Fei and others also looked at Xiao Ji curiously, wondering why he found Jiang Wu before them.
Xiao Ji simply explained it, and of course his tone was still cool.
Jiang Wu didn't expect that he just passed by by accident, let alone that he found her through the powder she left behind. This surprised her a little, but she was also completely relieved.
Although there are many falsehoods in the rumors, the character of King Duan is indeed trustworthy and she made the right choice.
"Sister Jiang!"
"Sister!"
At this time, two people, one large and one small, ran in from the door. When Jiang Wu saw that it was his friend Yuniang and his younger brother Jiang Yu, he relaxed and said, "You are here."
"How are you? Are you okay?" Seeing her blood-stained sleeves and the white cloth wrapped around her arms, Yu Niang felt okay, so she just asked urgently.
Jiang Yu was frightened and cried again: "Sister, you are injured!"
"It's just a minor injury. It will be fine in a few days." Jiang Wu comforted the two of them softly.
Xiao Ji saw that her relatives and friends had already arrived, thinking that he had been in contact with her today, so he had no intention of going to her house again. He signaled Ye Fei to go to the doctor to pay the bill, and then said: "Since everything is fine, I will leave first. You go home and recover well. I will ask them to give you an explanation at the Cheng'en Palace."
Jiang Wu did not reject his kindness, but stood up with Yu Niang's support and saluted him again to thank him.
Xiao Ji waved his hand nonchalantly and took Ye Fei away.
After they left completely, Yu Niang, who had recovered from the shock, lightly bumped Jiang Wu with her shoulder, and whispered to her with ambiguous eyes: "This little empress is very handsome, and she looks quite big." . Who is he? How did you two know each other? He also said that you were kind to him, hey, what kind of favor? When did it happen? "
Yuniang is the proprietress of the rouge shop called Yueji Pavilion. She is twenty-eight years old this year, a widow who has lost her husband and has a pair of children. Jiang Wu had known her for many years and had a good relationship. He didn't hide it from her when he heard the words. After regaining consciousness, he leaned into her ear and whispered Xiao Ji's identity.
Seeing that she looked calm, not feeling shy at all, and not showing any signs of being moved, Yuniang suddenly felt disappointed and bored. When she thought about Xiao Ji's identity again, although she was a little surprised, she completely lost her interest in questioning.
"It's a prince, the one that all the ladies in the capital want to marry. Qi Da is not a coincidence, that's all." She took out Xiao Ji's sapphire jade pendant from her sleeve, muttered and stuffed it into Jiang Wu's arms, "This is mine. When I went to report to the official, he borrowed my jade pendant. You should find an opportunity to return it to him later. I thought he could develop something with you, but I just deliberately kept it instead of returning it to him directly, but it was all in vain. ."
Jiang Wu didn't expect this to happen, and he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Why are you like Baoxiang, thinking about this kind of thing every day?"
"You're already eighteen." Jiang Yu next to him was still sniffling. Yu Niang took out a handkerchief to wipe his face with quick movements, while giving Jiang Wu a charming look, "No more. If you choose your dim sum carefully, you won’t find a good home.”
The doctor gave her some medicine to treat trauma and brought it over. Jiang Wu took it and thanked him. Finally, he said helplessly to Yu Niang: "I'm only eighteen, not twenty-eight. Besides, as long as I have something in my hand, Money, so what if you never get married?"
Although there are regulations nowadays that a woman who is not married under the age of twenty will be fined five times the poll tax, this does not make Jiang Wu feel anxious, it will only make her want to work harder to make money.
Yu Niang had known her for many years and knew her temperament. She could only shake her head when she saw this: "I'm afraid you weren't born by the little God of Wealth in the sky. You only think about making money all day long. You really have such a sign of hair for nothing." Show a face.”
Jiang Wu just laughed when he heard this.
Because she had lost a lot of blood, her face was a little pale, and her hair and clothes were messy and messy because of the previous troubles. But even so, Yu Niang looked at her like a hibiscus, so beautiful and beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
She couldn't help but regretted that she was not a man, and then asked about the business: "Well, let's leave it alone whether you want to marry or not, and let's talk about what happened today. Just now, King Duan mentioned Cheng'en Palace, could it be that today Was it the unclean prince of Chengen Palace who kidnapped you?"
Jiang Wu led her brother out of the hospital with her, and then told her the whole story in a low voice.
When Yu Niang heard this, she rolled her eyes and lost her face: "Even if he didn't do it, he was the one who caused it! Fortunately, you were lucky enough to meet that King Duan, otherwise I don't know how this matter would have ended today. This shameless person Thing, you have to stay away from him in the future, so as not to cause trouble like today again!"
"Well, I will tell my father about this when I get home and ask him to reduce his contact with Duke Chengen." In the past, Jiang Wu felt that He Dinghong would not go too far with him when Duke Chengen was around, so he was not afraid of him. . But after what happened today, she suddenly realized that she had thought too simply.
Cheng'en Gong did have a sincere relationship with her father, and he was a good person, but He Dinghong was his biological son after all. He could control him when things didn't happen, but if things had happened - like today, if He Dinghong tried to force him If he killed her, could Duke Cheng'en, as his father, really beat him to death to make amends to her?
That's obviously impossible. No matter how angry he was, he would only beat his son once, and then in turn convince her father to make He Dinghong "responsible" to her.
So Yu Niang is right, she can no longer take it lightly in the future.
After all, even if what He Dinghong said was true, he didn't know about it in advance. Given his status, it was just a look or a word to destroy her and her family.
Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Wu's face faded and his eyes became serious.
It seems that she still has to find a way to find a backer so that no one dares to touch her easily again.
