Chapter 582: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (186)
Jiang Yingchu suddenly stood up.
Lanlan was startled and shrank her shoulders: "Miss?"
Jiang Yingchu stared intently at Lanlan: "Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
"It's...it's him. I have a good memory, I won't mistake someone for someone else..."
Lanlan clenched her sleeves, finally able to pull out the heavy weight pressing on her heart.
"Miss...he also killed the madam!"
They had all seen Jiang Yingchu's mother when they were brought into the clinic as servants.
That's why Lanlan was able to recognize her.
"It was raining heavily at the time. Those men in black were up to no good. I hid at a distance, too afraid to go forward. The lady was being held down on the ground by them, arguing with the manor lord about something. Then suddenly she went and bumped into the sword in the manor lord's hand..."
"..."
Jiang Yingchu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
She suddenly roared, "Impossible! You're lying!"
Lanlan was startled by Jiang Yingchu's expression: "I...I didn't lie..."
She was of lowly status, timid and fearful, and only thought that she would tell the young lady when she saw her later.
But she never saw the young lady again; the senior in black who saved them also disappeared.
Lanlan didn't dare tell anyone and could only keep it as a secret in her heart.
Now that she saw Jiang Yingchu, she couldn't help but speak up.
"The lady died with her eyes wide open in disbelief, and in the end, she was dragged away by the manor lord's men..."
Jiang Yingchu felt cold all over, her heart was breaking, and large tears fell down her cheeks.
"No, no...it's impossible..."
She unconsciously tugged at her hair, only muttering "impossible."
Lanlan said worriedly, "Miss Jiang..."
The old doctor, who was digesting his food not far away, suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Yingchu and quickly came over.
"Miss Jiang, take a deep breath and calm down!"
"impossible……"
Jiang Yingchu's face was pale. Suddenly, she pulled out a large clump of hair with great force. People rushed forward to stop her, but Jiang Yingchu pushed them back haphazardly. She squatted on the ground and screamed loudly, almost going mad.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Seeing the situation was dire, the old doctor exclaimed, "Quickly knock Miss Jiang unconscious! We can't let her have another attack!"
"We...we dare not..."
What if I make a mistake...
The old doctor pushed the anxious Xiaotang forward, saying, "You go!"
Xiao Tang trembled; she didn't dare to either.
The old doctor urged anxiously, "Hurry!"
Xiao Tang was extremely nervous.
How do you knock a girl unconscious...?
Seeing something nearby, Xiao Tang casually picked up a stone mortar and pestle and smashed it on Jiang Yingchu's head.
Jiang Yingchu indeed fainted.
Everyone: "..."
This stone mortar weighs at least twenty pounds...
Xiao Tang slurred, "Dizzy...dizzy?"
The old doctor said, "...Check if she's still breathing."
Xiaotang: "!!!"
Fortunately, Jiang Yingchu was still breathing.
After taking Jiang Yingchu's pulse, the old doctor said, "Excessive emotional distress has disrupted the balance of Qi and blood."
"Lanlan, go and prepare the medicine."
Lanlan looked at the unconscious Jiang Yingchu with concern: "Yes..."
The old doctor looked at the dejected Xiao Tang: "Miss Jiang, you must have had someone taking care of you during your previous hysteria, right?"
"..." Xiao Tang shook her head.
she does not know.
She wasn't there when the young lady was in the water dungeon.
The old doctor said, "Miss Jiang has been taking the medicine for quite a while now. The medicine is very effective and it should be able to cure her illness. However, the root cause of the illness is difficult to cure. Miss Jiang is currently confused and needs to continue taking the medicine."
Xiao Tang nodded in agreement: "Drink."
She rummaged through the small package and then remembered that all the money was with the young lady.
The old doctor noticed Xiaotang's actions and said, "You don't need to pay. You've paid a lot of money before, so consider this my way of repaying you."
Xiao Tang stood up and bowed to the old doctor.
Jiang Yingchu woke up three days later, but then fell into a state of mental dementia. Apart from taking medicine, she did nothing else, as if she had lost all vitality.
Xiao Tang was very worried and went to ask the old doctor.
The old doctor said, "There's nothing we can do but wait for her to come to her senses."
The old doctor settled them in a spacious room.
Xiao Tang then took care of Jiang Yingchu every day.
Jiang Yingchu took the medicine for a long time, but her condition did not improve.
The old doctor often sighed, and finally, when the weather warmed up, he patted Xiaotang on the shoulder.
"Take her out to see the world."
"Let's go to some scenic spots."
"Keeping herself cooped up here all the time is not good for Miss Jiang's recovery."
Xiao Tang agreed.
Before leaving, the old doctor secretly stuffed a lot of silver into Xiaotang's bag.
They probably realized that the other party was short of money and not as well off as before.
Xiao Tang silently accepted the old doctor's kindness, hired a carriage, and took Jiang Yingchu away from Qingyang City.
She took Jiang Yingchu to many scenic spots.
Jiang Yingchu's symptoms have improved a lot, but she doesn't like to talk.
Xiao Tang finally chose a place nestled against the mountains and by the water, and used the remaining money to buy a secluded courtyard.
After settling Jiang Yingchu in, Xiao Tang went back to doing odd jobs.
They ran out of money.
Xiao Tang used the money she earned from working to gradually fill the gap in the small courtyard.
She also wrote many small notes in her clumsy calligraphy and pasted them in every corner of the house.
She was worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to take good care of herself in the future, so she wrote down how to use each tool on a piece of paper.
She has nothing to leave for her mistress; these notes might be of some help.
But one day, Xiaotang was a quarter of an hour late for her day job, and it was already dark when she got home.
But she didn't see the young lady when she got home.
Xiao Tang searched the house thoroughly but found nothing.
So she ran out to look for him and found Jiang Yingchu being pulled and tugged by a drunk man at the entrance of an alley.
"Little beauty..."
The drunkard swore and tore at Jiang Yingchu's clothes with his filthy hands.
Jiang Yingchu remained expressionless, as if she were completely oblivious.
Xiao Tang rushed over like a madwoman.
But to everyone's surprise, the drunkard was a martial arts expert and was carrying a weapon.
As the blade pierced Xiao Tang's body, Jiang Yingchu, who was being protected behind her, trembled, his pupils focusing little by little on the tip of the blade in Xiao Tang's back.
"Little...Tang..."
