Before Jiang Nian left the house, Lanzhi came back.

Just now Baozhu came in hurriedly and said that Lanzhi was quarreling with the people in the kitchen.

Although I am not worried that Miss Lanzhi will be wronged, it is her courtyard after all, so I should go and check it out.

Now he is back in good health, and there is no sign that they had had an argument in the kitchen.

"Sister Lanzhi, are you okay?"

Lanzhi chuckled: "Thank you for your concern, Miss. It's nothing."

I'm glad nothing happened. It looks like we won the fight.

Yes, even the servants in the princess's mansion are more respectable than the ladies in other mansions.

"I'm glad you're alright. I was worried that someone from the mansion might offend the girl."

Lanzhi still looked respectful: "It's nothing, it's just some maids and servants who don't follow the rules. I've seen this happen many times."

As she was speaking, someone came in: "Miss, this is the chicken soup from the kitchen."

Hearing this, Lanzhi naturally took the chicken soup and looked at Jiang Nian: "Then I'll take it to Madam first."

As soon as the man left, Baozhu whispered, "I heard that when the Madam was at the Princess's Mansion, she had a bowl of chicken soup every night. Today, Miss Lanzhi went to ask the kitchen, but they refused to give her any. Then she got angry and started talking bad about the mansion. Even Madam Zhang, who was by the Madam's side, didn't dare to talk back."

Look, after being scolded by Lanzhi, she immediately made some chicken soup and sent it to him.

Jiang Nian sneered. The Jiang family was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When they met this Miss Lanzhi, they had to put away their disgusting expressions.

In the following days, chicken soup was delivered to the mansion every day, more punctually than the crowing of a rooster.

After a few days of recuperation, Lin felt much better than before. Unable to see her son, she suggested going to the Taiqing Temple outside the city to burn incense.

"Mom, you're not feeling well. You'd better wait a while before going."

Lin shook her head: "I have to go to the Princess's Mansion in a few days. Your grandmother's tablet is at Taiqing Temple. Mother wants to go and see it."

When it comes to his grandmother, Jiang Nian finally stopped trying to stop her and could only let his mother do what she wanted.

However, this matter was discovered by Old Lady Jiang. Perhaps she was worried that Lin and her were doing something secretly, so she asked Feng to take Jiang Nian with her.

Along the way, Jiang Nian and Lin rode in a carriage, while Feng and Jiang Nian in the back were sensible and did not get close to her.

The carriage swayed for more than an hour before finally arriving at Baiyun Temple.

There are many pilgrims in the temple, and it is quite lively.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Nian helped Lin go inside. Feng, who was standing behind them, rolled her eyes at the two people in front of her and whispered to her daughter, "This Baiyun Temple is very effective for praying for marriage. Let's go and ask for a fortune. Didn't you go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion last time? Did you find anyone you like?"

Jiang Nian lowered her head shyly: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"Don't be shy. You're already fourteen, so it's time for you to think about this. If you like him, just ask your elder brother to think of a way to let you meet that young master more often. Wouldn't that make it happen?"

Jiang Nian, who was standing in front, suddenly laughed when he heard this.

It's a good thing to have high aspirations, but you also have to know your own worth.

First, Madam Jiang asked her to learn how to serve men, and then Mrs. Feng taught her daughter how to seduce men. They are indeed a family.

The four of them entered the temple, burned incense and kowtowed in the main hall, and then followed the Taoist boy to the place where the memorial tablets were placed.

It would take two days to return from this memorial service, so the temple arranged accommodation for him.

After placing offerings in front of the tablet, burning incense and paper, Lin cried for a long time.

Jiang Nian was worried that his mother was injured, so he advised her to rest for a while. He coaxed Lin to sleep before returning to his room.

He spent the whole day with his mother. In the evening, they had dinner together. Mrs. Lin took the medicine. Jiang Nian then felt a little tired and returned to his room to turn off the lights and rest.

The temple is quiet at night, with only pilgrims staying overnight, who all go to bed early.

As soon as the lights were turned off, there was a slight click of the window, and a cold dagger was instantly placed on her slender neck, and a pair of big hands covered her lips.

A low, terrifying voice came from behind: "Don't move."

Although Jiang Nian knew some self-defense skills, they were just mediocre. She could deal with people like Yan Qingsong, but she didn't think she had the ability to deal with the person behind her.

Instead of being scared, she calmed down.

She nodded slightly, and the big hand covering her mouth loosened obviously. Jiang Nian frowned and smelled a bloody smell.

injured?

The man brought her to the bedside. She could feel that he was very tall and had a hard chest. She could vaguely see that the hand holding the knife looked a bit like the way a soldier held a knife.

From the military camp?

Jiang Nian slowly raised her hand and tapped his hand, signaling him to let go and she would not call for help.

The man felt cold all over, and then he heard footsteps coming from outside.

There were footsteps in the yard for a while, and then it became quiet again.

Jiang Nian tapped his big hand with his finger again. The man probably finally realized that something was wrong and let go of his hand.

As soon as he let go, in the darkness, Jiang Nian heard a plop and the force behind him was released.

After groping for the light, Jiang Nian looked at the unconscious man on the ground and was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the man she saved on the road?

How long has it been since you got injured again?

Helplessly, he dragged the man to the bed, lifted his clothes and checked the wound.

The knife wounds were on the left shoulder and waist. The wounds were not deep, but due to excessive blood loss and fever, he finally couldn't bear it.

Jiang Nian studied medicine from a doctor at the border, but her skills were not very good and she could not take a pulse. She only knew some pharmacology and could write prescriptions and prepare medicines.

The man's injuries were not complicated. He took out the medicine bottle he was carrying and said to himself, "I don't have much medicine. I only brought these. I think it's a bargain for you."

After applying the medicine, she simply tore off a piece of the man's underwear, bandaged it, and then walked to the couch on the side and lay down.

This man is very handsome and doesn't look very old. Judging from his clothes, he doesn't come from an ordinary family. He was injured twice and was chased. It seems that his life is not easy.

She sighed slightly. Because of this man, she was slandered and lost her innocence and was forced to become a concubine. She shouldn't have saved him.

But she also knew that if the Jiang family wanted to ruin her reputation, even if it wasn't him, there would be someone else.

And the way he held the knife was exactly the same as her grandfather's. Otherwise, she would never have saved him a second time.

Many people in the military hold their swords in this way, including her two uncles.

He still had many old wounds on his body, probably from the war. She had to save a general who had fought on the battlefield like her grandfather...

I fell asleep unknowingly, but it was not a sound sleep. I woke up the next day feeling unwell all over.

I went forward and touched the man's forehead. The fever had subsided and the bleeding had stopped, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

The man frowned slightly, and Jiang Nian quickly withdrew his hand and straightened his collar.

At this time, Lin's voice sounded outside the door: "Niannian, are you awake? We should go back."

"coming."

After saying that, he placed the medicine bottle on the bedside, opened the door and left the room.

Not long after the person left, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, noticed something was wrong with his body, stroked his left shoulder, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the medicine bottle on the bedside.

A faint light flashed in his dark eyes. This bottle... he had seen it before.
