Chapter 109: Exhausted
Jiang Shuyue looked at him, "Your injury..."
Xiao Lin shook his head. "My wound hurts, but it won't kill me. But if these people don't take care of it, others will lose their lives in the future."
Jiang Shuyue understood what he meant. She had to admit that Xiao Lin was a righteous and good man, and that had not changed.
At the gate of the yamen, Jiang Shuyue's heart was always hanging. She sat in the carriage and would lift the curtain to look inside from time to time.
She was afraid that Xiao Lin was not good at speaking and wouldn't be able to explain things well, but then she changed her mind and realized that a lot of things had changed since he came back this time.
Half an hour later, Jiang Shuyue saw Xiao Lin walking out with big strides. At this moment, she didn't have time to think too much and got off the carriage and ran towards him.
"The county magistrate didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Xiao Lin looked at the nervous Jiang Shuyue. He was thoughtful. The little woman did not ask whether those people had been punished, but whether she had been troubled.
This shows what?
Xiao Lin shook his head, "No, they have been detained."
Jiang Shuyue nodded. Why did County Magistrate Hong act out of character this time and be so efficient?
What she didn't know was that County Magistrate Hong was also indifferent at first. Xiao Lin realized that he couldn't ask him to do justice as an ordinary citizen, so he had no choice but to bring in Pei Shangxing who had just set out.
He had Pei Shangxing's badge in his hand. After seeing it, County Magistrate Hong began to interrogate the prisoner obediently and no longer dared to harbor any selfish motives.
Although some means were used, as long as the goal was achieved, it’s fine.
Xiao Lin didn't want Jiang Shuyue to worry, so he didn't tell her.
When they returned, Xiao Lin was injured and had not rested much. The wound had split open and bright red blood oozed out. Jiang Shuyue took the whip away with a cold face.
When she passed by the pharmacy, she bought some blood-replenishing herbs and pork liver, and went back to give him good nourishment.
Although she could handle it herself and was not a weak woman who had no ability to fight back, Xiao Lin did stand up and protect her behind him at the critical moment.
Jiang Shuyue is not a cold-blooded person. In this life, he will take revenge if he has a grudge, and repay a favor if he has done one.
Xiao Lin actually saw that Jiang Shuyue knocked down a grown man with a poison needle. This little woman was not someone to be trifled with either. And because of this, he didn't perform well in his role as a hero saving a beautiful woman.
Xiao Lin was feeling annoyed and wanted to sip the hot blood-replenishing soup, so he brought it to him. "Drink it while it's hot. I'm so grateful to you for what happened today. Otherwise, I..."
"Otherwise, you can take down a few of them by yourself, right?" Xiao Lin said.
Jiang Shuyue was flustered for a moment, but then she didn't deny it. She had been seen, and denying it would be a lie. "I'm a woman out there, so I still have to prepare some things to protect myself. Otherwise, like last time..."
"Last time?" Xiao Lin frowned, and his voice suddenly turned several degrees colder. "What do you mean last time?"
"nothing."
"What do you mean nothing?" Xiao Lin continued to ask, "Who was it last time?"
Jiang Shuyue was not frightened, but felt that his reaction was too intense. However, he also had good intentions. After all, he has always been a warm-hearted person. "Last time, it must have been Lao Mao's people who pretended to be officials to inquire about Yan Jiu's information. I almost fell for it, but fortunately I was prepared, and this poison needle saved me."
"But they should have been captured by General Pei." Jiang Shuyue said. She felt that this might be the case of evil being rewarded with evil.
But there are not so many coincidences in this world, Xiao Lin knows this best.
"You should have a good rest. The wound is a bit deep. So is yours. I can handle it here. You are not safe yourself and you come here... Take care of me!" Jiang Shuyue sighed. Thinking of the scene at that time, she was really at a loss as to what to do.
What on earth was Xiao Lin thinking?
I am not his real wife. What if something happens to him?
"Shuyue, actually I..."
"Ahem, take a rest. If you need anything, call Liuyun. I have to go to the Lin family."
She had to give the job to Zhang Qiurong because the customers were waiting for it.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he leaves for a while, but Jiang Shuyue just feels that he has to leave now.
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, perhaps the time was not right.
He wanted to slap himself. He had said before that he had someone in his heart. Did she misunderstand him?
Xiao Lin did not dare to express his feelings rashly at this moment. After all, it was still unknown whether he could change his fate.
If possible, I can protect her for the rest of her life.
If not, why bother implicate her?
Therefore, the words that were about to come to his lips were suppressed by him.
He knew Jiang Shuyue's character too well. If he expressed his feelings now and something happened to him, how would she live the rest of her long life?
Jiang Shuyue just opened the door with the materials for making bags when she saw a figure. Because she had just fled in a panic, she was really scared at this moment, "Who?"
But soon she calmed down. This was her home and she could attract a few villagers by just shouting.
"I... Shuyue, it's me."
"Jiang Jinlai?" Jiang Shuyue recognized his voice and looked at the sneaky man in front of her with confusion, "Pick up the old lady?"
"No, no, no!" Jiang Jinlai wanted to shake his head off. "Old lady has food and drink here with you, and people to serve her. It's much better than suffering at home with us."
Jiang Shuyue said it, they won’t have a change of heart.
"Then what are you here for?"
Is it to see if the old lady is dead?
"You...you came back from town, did you see...did you see your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Shuyue looked at him coldly. It was true that he forgot about his family after getting married. The old lady was so good to him, but now he ignored her.
Although the old lady was not kind to herself and Liuyun, and she deserved not to receive the filial piety from herself and Liuyun, she should be sad when Jiang Jin came here.
"did not see it!"
"That's weird. She said she went to town and left early in the morning. She hasn't come back yet. Did you really not see her?"
Jiang Shuyue was just about to say that she didn't see it, and she really didn't see it today, when she heard a breathless voice behind her, "I'm here, Jin Lai."
Jiang Lai didn't bother to talk to Jiang Shuyue anymore, and ran to Mei Panchun, "Wife, why did you come back just now? I was so worried about you."
"Didn't I go back to my mother's house?" Mei Panchun held Jiang Jinlai's arm and glanced in the direction of Jiang Shuyue.
When they were a little further away, she lowered her voice and asked, "What did she say to you?"
"Nothing, I just asked her if she saw you?"
Mei Panchun felt guilty. She had spent a day hanging out with her old lover, who had married the daughter of a grocery store owner in the town. She was to be the family's son-in-law. When the two old men died in the future, all the property would be his, or in other words, hers too.
