"What does that mean that you don't plan to protect me in the future?" Jiang Shu's eyes rolled slightly, and he joked out of context.

"Of course not," Ping Qian said busily, "Yesterday, before the eldest young master set off for Hunan with the master, he specially explained to the slave maid that he must protect the young lady well." ”

"That's how you listen to big brother?" Jiang Shuxiao asked.

It seems that her titular eldest brother Ye Chengxuan still cares a lot about this half-sister.

Ping Qianxiao's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said: "The eldest young master is the master, and the slave is the subordinate, so naturally he has to listen to him." ”

Her tone was full of reasonableness, as if it was natural for a subordinate to listen to his master.

Jiang Shu was quite unimpressed by this, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed the blood stains on Ping Qian's pale cyan skirt, and said with some surprise: "Ping Qian, how can there be so much blood on your body?" ”

It definitely wouldn't have been caught when bandaging the wound of a man in a black shirt.

I cleaned his wounds, medicated him, and bandaged him, but only one or two blood stains were stained on his sleeves.

Ping Qian was just helping to hold the gauze and the medicine on the side, and he didn't get close to him from beginning to end, so it was impossible to get so much blood.

A hint of complexity flashed in the screen's shallow eyes, almost imperceptible, and soon she said: "The slave killed a chicken this afternoon, and was about to stew it for the young lady to mend her body, but the chicken blood was accidentally splashed on her body, and she didn't have time to change her clothes." ”

"You still dare to kill chickens?" Jiang Shu was very surprised.

Ping Qian nodded lightly: "Slave dares." ”

"What about the stewed chicken?" She asked.

"This ......," Ping Qian hesitated for a moment, and said, "When the slave and maid killed the chicken, they accidentally punctured the bitter gall, and after stewing it, they tasted it, and the whole pot was bitter, so they poured it out." ”

"I see." Jiang Shu smiled faintly, although he was skeptical of Ping Qian's words, he chose not to ask more.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay, lead the way ahead, your young lady is going to say goodnight to Siniang." ”

"And what about him?" Ping Qian raised his finger and pointed at the black-shirted man who was still unconscious on the bed.

"The bleeding has stopped, and he won't wake up for a while, so don't worry about him." Jiang Shu said, walking straight outside.

There is only such a maid by her side, if she stays to take care of this person and goes out alone, I am afraid that she will not even be able to find the way.

"Yes." Ping Qian agreed and quickly followed.

Walking out of the Qingran Pavilion, the master and servant walked along the nearby flower path with overlapping shadows and dark incense, and it didn't take long for them to arrive, and the fourth lady's residence arrived. It was a small courtyard called the Garden of Meditation.

Ping Qian stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon after, the courtyard door was pulled open from the inside.

The one who opened the door was a grandmother in her early forties, and when she saw Jiang Shu and Ping Qian standing outside the door, she didn't even say hello, and said excitedly inside: "Madam, madam, come and see who is coming!" ”

"Who is it?" A gentle voice came from within, and footsteps came from far and near.

The fourth lady, Ruan Fengzhi, walked to the door and saw Jiang Shu standing outside the door, and couldn't believe her eyes: "Shu'er ......"

She raised her foot and stepped out of the threshold, and was about to go over to ask how the injuries on her body were, when she suddenly thought of Ye Jiangshu's attitude towards her all along, and a slight hesitation appeared on her face, and she stopped.

Jiang Shu saw her concerns, took the initiative to meet her, and said with a smile: "Siniang, it's Shu'er, Shu'er has come to see you." ”
