After leaving the Hou Mansion, Jiang Cheng took Fatty and turned into a remote alley, then followed the forked road to the inn where Wu Yujiao and her daughter were staying.
After entering the door, the fat man was really shocked when he saw Wu Yujiao again. Originally, his impression of Wu Yujiao was just a pretty and pretty little girl, but at this time, Wu Yujiao changed into a new set of clean clothes and her hair was neatly pulled up. , obviously after some dressing up.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wang, you are here." Wu Yujiao greeted them enthusiastically, invited the two of them to sit down at the table, and then looked at Jiang Cheng's face a little embarrassed, "Mr. Jiang, does the injury on your face still hurt? ?”
The scratch marks on Jiang Cheng's face had already scabbed over. When he returned with such a dignified appearance yesterday, everyone else was dumbfounded. Zhang Qizheng, Yao, Shunyu and others struggled for a long time, but Zhu Jie finally asked them. What he was thinking: "Mr. Jiang fell in love with someone's young lady, but she didn't agree, and then he ended up like this?"
Tang Qisheng continued to talk nonsense seriously: "Oh, this is not a big deal. Under such circumstances, it is rare for Brother Jiang to be so elegant. But next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can spend some money. How much can you spend?" ."
As she spoke, Wu Yujiao took out a cloth bag, and opened the three outer layers of the bag. The innermost part was wrapped with a precious porcelain bottle. After Wu Yujiao gently unscrewed it, a burst of medicinal fragrance floated out, "Mr. Jiang, this is the west of the city. Lu's Pharmacy's Huiyan Ointment is specially used to treat scars on the face, and the effect is surprisingly good. Let me help you apply the medicine."
As she spoke, Wu Yujiao thoughtfully poured a little green ointment onto her fingertips, then stretched out her hand to apply the ointment to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng avoided Wu Yujiao's hand touching his face and couldn't help but frown, "No need to worry, my injury is almost healed. Also, where did you get this ointment?"
Wu Yujiao nodded seriously and whispered, "I went to the west of the city to buy it."
"I told you before I left, didn't I tell you, try not to go out now! It's dangerous outside!" Jiang Cheng scolded without even looking at the bottle of ointment.
"I...I went out while it was dark. I also changed into new clothes. No one would recognize me. No one who knows my mother and I lives around here." Wu Yujiao clutched the medicine bottle. , explained nervously: "Mr. Jiang, this bottle of medicine is really effective, and my mother told me that if the wound on the face is not applied as soon as possible, it will leave a scar after it completely scabs. I don't want you, Mr. Jiang. …”
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng waved his hand and interrupted, "That's enough, I don't have time to listen to you. This is my own business and has nothing to do with you. I came today to tell you that we are leaving. "
"Leave?" Wu Yujiao was slightly startled, "Leave to where? Leave Luo'an City?"
"Well, if nothing else happens, this will be the last time we see each other. Remember, after we leave, you will take your mother out of this inn and stay in another inn."
Jiang Cheng took out some loose silver and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Wu Yujiao, "There is some money here. You can take it and save some to spend. It will be enough for you during this period. When Luo'an City can come and go freely, I will take you with me." Mom, go and join your relatives."
"No, we can't ask for your money anymore. I already owe you too much." Wu Yujiao refused to accept anything and stubbornly pushed the money back.
"Yujiao, we can't take this money, please return it to your benefactor quickly." Yujiao's health was obviously not in good condition, and she started coughing violently when she got excited.
"You don't owe us anything. We helped you just to understand your sister's affairs. You told us and we don't owe each other anything." Jiang Cheng stood up impatiently, "Okay, that's it. Take care of yourselves."
Although he felt sorry for Wu Yujiao and his daughter, that was all Jiang Cheng could do. After all, it was not him who caused their misfortune, and he did not need to do more.
Wu Yujiao's mother stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if she wanted to keep Jiang Cheng and the two of them. Jiang Cheng originally didn't intend to care, but the fat man took it. Wu Yujiao's mother took the fat man's hand, her lips trembled violently, and she couldn't say no for a long time. It’s a complete sentence, but the gratitude is overwhelming.
In the end, Jiang Cheng also shook hands with the woman perfunctorily as a farewell.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng warned Wu Yujiao to wait two hours after they left before leaving. Wu Yujiao still remembered the bottle of medicine, so Jiang Cheng finally reluctantly accepted it.
As Fatty Jiangcheng left, Wu Yujiao's eyes dimmed in the room. She ran to the window and opened it, facing a narrow street.
After a while, the woman sitting on the edge of the bed sighed softly, "Yujiao, my mother knows your thoughts, but don't blame me for talking too much. That Mr. Jiang doesn't like you at all. This is not you." It's my mother's fault, we are too different from others, even if we are small, others won't want to do it."
"Actually... In fact, I don't want to in my heart. Don't think that my eyes are blind, but my heart is not blind. When I was young, I worshiped a grass-roots master and learned some skills in palmistry. Although Mr. Jiang, I have blind eyes. I can't see it, but judging from his speech, behavior, and your performance, he must be a man of both talent and appearance. My mother has touched his hand. This man's fingers are long, his nails are thin and sharp, and his palm prints are confusing. This is terrible. It’s not a good sign. This person has bad luck in his life. Although he is not righteous, he must be ruthless. To put it bluntly, he is still a short-lived ghost..."
Wu Yujiao, who was standing by the window, immediately turned her head and said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about? Mr. Jiang saved our lives!"
"Mom knows, that's why I tell you the truth. In this world, we women just want stability. Mom has no choice in this life, but you are different. Mom can't just watch you suffer."
"Don't blame mother for being scheming. You are my flesh and blood. If mother doesn't plan for you, who will she plan for? In short, we can't rely on Mr. Jiang. On the contrary, it is the prince who has broad palms and round knuckles. It can be seen that he is a He is a person who is loyal by nature and honest in his duties. If you follow him, although you may not be rich in this life, at least you will have enough food and clothing, and he will treat you sincerely."
"Yujiao, you are different from your sister. You have been stubborn since you were a child and don't like to listen to others' advice. But this time, you must listen to your mother!"
Perhaps because she got excited, Yu Jiaoniang coughed violently, and even coughed up blood, "People want to repay kindness, but we are not lucky enough, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything for Mr. Jiang and the others. This Mr. Jiang It's quite pitiful. He is a lonely star with bad luck, but fortunately, there is this prince by his side. I really... really hope that they can build a bridge when encountering water and be lucky in times of trouble. Ahem... ahem, in this world, such... such a good person Running out."
