"Yan'er..." She stretched out her arms, like a crane spreading its wings, with graceful movements.
"Ahem..." Before she could open her arms, she suddenly covered her chest and coughed violently.
"Mom!" Jiang Yuyan dodged, whipped up a gust of wind, and came to the middle-aged beautiful woman, holding her shoulders and patting her back.
Behind the middle-aged beautiful woman came a little maid, dressed in red, holding the other side of the middle-aged beautiful woman. She has an oval face, a pointed chin, almond eyes and peach cheeks, she is also a little beauty.
She is young, like a flower in bud.
Jiang Yuyan injected internal energy and soothed her lung meridian. The beautiful middle-aged woman stopped coughing, held her little hand, and said with a smile on her face: "Yan'er, you are finally back!"
The little girl in red opened her mouth thinly: "Miss, are you causing trouble again?"
"Zhu'er, you deserve a beating!" Jiang Yuyan rolled her eyes at her.
The little maid shrank her neck and laughed: "Hehe, I'm right. The young lady went out to hide from the limelight. Madam, I guessed right!"
"You, please stop saying a few words. What will happen if you offend her?" The beautiful middle-aged woman pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Jiang Yuyan: "Yan'er, you have lost weight. You have suffered a lot outside, right?"
Before Jiang Yuyan met Li Muchan, she had been fleeing in embarrassment, exhausted physically and mentally, and had been facing the pressure of life and death. She naturally lost weight, but she had not recovered yet when she met Li Muchan.
"Mom, I don't mind, let's go into the house and talk." Jiang Yuyan smiled and helped the middle-aged beautiful woman and Zhu'er to go in together.
"Well——!" The lion-like man stepped forward to block the door, his eyes were like lightning, stopping the three middle-aged men from stepping forward, and snorted softly.
He was already powerful, but now he was standing with his sword in his hand, his eyes were like lightning, and his clothes were moving like a hunter, which added to his power and frightened the three of them.
The three of them looked at each other, stopped, frowned and turned around.
Logically speaking, the four companions should have heard the noise and come over to take a look. Why has there been no movement and ignored them? It is really derelict in their duties!
The skinny little man winked, and a simple and honest middle-aged man nodded and walked away, leaving the inner courtyard and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The lion-like man folded his arms and sneered on the doorstep, ignoring the middle-aged voice. He simply closed his eyes and remained motionless, like a door god.
The other two middle-aged men looked at each other, shook their heads, and made no move. They just stared angrily at the lion-like man, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
However, they could only think about it and did not dare to take action. This lion-like man was one of the few masters in the Nanjiang family, and the three of them together could not defeat him.
However, with the addition of four more people, they were enough to defeat him, so they did not lack confidence.
The room was as warm as spring, and the strong smell of medicine filled the room.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly helped the beautiful middle-aged woman to the couch and asked softly: "Mom, are you suffering from the cold?"
"Yes, my bones are already weak. It suddenly became cold two days ago and I couldn't stand it." The beautiful middle-aged woman slowly lay down. The maid Zhu'er took the pillow and put it behind her, letting her lie down.
.
Jiang Yuyan understood that her mother must be worried about her, and Fenghan took advantage of it. In the past few years, she had searched for many prescriptions and found many good medicines, and her mother's body was no longer weak.
She held her mother's hand with both hands and sat on the embroidered pillar.
The maid Zhuer asked in a crisp voice: "Miss, what trouble did you get into? Eight stinky guys came to the house and they stared at us as if we were prisoners!"
"I hurt my second brother and angered my father." Jiang Yuyan said.
The beautiful middle-aged woman frowned: "Did you hurt Yuhao?"
"Well, chop off one of his legs!" Jiang Yuyan nodded.
"You..., ugh——!" The middle-aged beautiful woman's face changed, she glared at Jiang Yuyan with an angry look, shook her head and sighed.
The maid Zhuer clapped her hands: "Miss, one of his legs is broken, can't he pick it up?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yuyan nodded.
"Okay!" Pearl clapped her hands happily, fast and loud, and turned red after two clapped. She said bitterly: "This stinky guy finally fell into the hands of the lady!...Miss, why do you just
Just chop off one of his legs, chop off both legs!"
"Zhu'er, please don't add fuel to the fire!" the middle-aged beautiful woman said angrily.
Pearl giggled and said, "Madam, you don't know how hateful that guy is, but he bullied the young lady and me. Now he finally takes revenge!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head and ignored her. She turned around and said, "Your father should be very angry. He values Yuhao the most. Although he is useless, he is still his legitimate son."
Jiang Yuyan nodded: "Yes, he wants to kill me."
"He——!" The beautiful middle-aged woman's face darkened.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly sent a burst of internal energy to protect her lungs and said: "Mom, he was angry for a moment, and quickly withdrew the killing order, and only asked people to capture me and bring me back."
The middle-aged beautiful woman shook her head: "He..., forget it, why did you come back? You threw yourself into a trap. It doesn't matter if you are here for your mother."
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Mom will be worried if she doesn't see me all the time, so I'll come back and have a look... Mom, just leave with me. There is no place for us in the Nanjiang family!"
"Where are you going?" The middle-aged beautiful woman was confused and shook her head: "You stupid kid, you are back and you can't leave even if you want to... Fortunately, your father has calmed down and won't kill you."
"Mom, I have backup." Jiang Yuyan said with a proud smile.
She then told the story about Li Muchan.
After the two of them listened, the maid Zhuer was surprised and said: "Miss, you are saying that you followed a monk and became his maid, right?"
Jiang Yuyan rolled her eyes at her: "Don't bluff."
The maid Zhu'er said: "Miss, you are the rich daughter of the Nanjiang family, how can you stoop down to be the maid? No, no!"
Jiang Yuyan hummed and said: "Master is an eminent monk, so there is nothing wrong with being his maid!"
Pearl curled her lips, disapprovingly.
The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned and thought for a while, then said after a while: "Yan'er, this master's martial arts is very high. You have to be a maid just to survive, right?"
Jiang Yuyan said: "Mom, I was like this at first, but now I have changed my mind. The master is indeed an eminent monk with rigorous cultivation and extraordinary demeanor. It is really admirable! ... Being able to serve such an eminent monk is also a merit.
One piece!”
"You have to understand people's hearts clearly," the beautiful middle-aged woman warned.
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said: "Mom, I'm looking at people, are you still worried?"
"Okay, you've got it right, I won't say anything more." The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled. Jiang Yuyan has been stubborn and competitive since she was a child, hardworking, good at observing faces, and good at reading people.
The beautiful middle-aged woman often laments that it is a pity that Yan'er is born as a girl. If she were a man, she would have made extraordinary achievements, become famous all over the world, and stirred up troubles.
It's a pity that a daughter will eventually get married. Once married, she can only live a mediocre life as a husband and raise children, and no matter how talented she is, she will be buried.
"Yuyan, are you okay?" A clear voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Yuyan was refreshed, stood up and said hurriedly: "Master, I'm here!"
Li Muchan's voice came: "Well, hurry up if you can, and we will get the news over there."
"Okay!" Jiang Yuyan responded.
She hurriedly said: "Mom, let's pack up and leave as soon as possible!"
"Yan'er, go ahead and leave me alone." The beautiful middle-aged woman patted her little hand and smiled softly.
"Mother——!" Jiang Yuyan suddenly became anxious and held her hand: "Mother is still reluctant to leave here?... Do you want to live here looking at other people's faces?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said: "I have been here for most of my life, and I don't want to change places when I get old. Don't worry, although your father is cruel, he won't do anything to me."
Jiang Yuyan said anxiously: "Mom, let's go to the capital together. Isn't it better to live a carefree life in the general's mansion than to watch other people's faces here?"
"Silly girl, how can one be free and easy in this world!" The beautiful middle-aged woman shook her head and smiled.
"Mom, no matter what, we must leave!" Jiang Yuyan frowned, and she turned to Zhu'er: "Zhu'er, pack your things quickly, let's leave here! ...Only pack what is important, what you can buy with money, everything
Throw it away, don’t be stingy!”
"Okay!" The maid Zhu'er responded excitedly, turned around and ran out.
After she went out, Jiang Yuyan said softly: "Mom, are you still reluctant to leave dad?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman blushed and said hurriedly: "Damn girl, don't talk nonsense, I have given up on this unfaithful person long ago!"
"Why don't you want to leave?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
The middle-aged beautiful woman sighed: "Although this place is not good, you are still a young lady, and you are being taken care of. Although the general's palace is good, you are a maid after all, and you have to take care of others. Wouldn't it be a drag if my mother goes with you? ... Where to go?
It all depends on people’s faces, it’s better to be here, right?”
Jiang Yuyan said angrily: "Mom, Master, he doesn't care about secular affairs on weekdays. The affairs of the house are all under my control. There is no need to look at people's faces. Don't say more, hurry up!"
As she said that, she picked up a snow fur coat, put it on the beautiful middle-aged woman, helped her to bed, and said: "When we get to the capital, we will invite famous doctors to give my mother a good look!"
After all, the beautiful middle-aged woman didn't have any opinion. Seeing that her daughter was resolute, she no longer objected. She put on her snow fur and coughed twice more as soon as she left the inner moisturizer.
Jiang Yuyan frowned and looked at her. Logically speaking, her mother was sick and the weather was like this, so she shouldn't be in a hurry, but she couldn't delay. She was embarrassed and hesitated.
Li Muchan's voice came: "Yu Yan, just find a carriage."
Jiang Yuyan was startled and nodded quickly: "That's right, Uncle Zhou, drive our carriage out, we have to leave here!"
"Miss, do you really want to leave?" A rough voice sounded.
Jiang Yuyan said: "Well, if you don't leave, my father will kill me, and my mother won't have a good life. It's better to leave... we should have left long ago!"
"...Okay." The big man surnamed Zhou was silent for a moment and replied in a deep voice. Then footsteps sounded and he went out to drive the carriage. He was also the driver.
Jiang Yuyan lifted the curtain and went out, only to see Li Muchan standing in the center of the courtyard, wearing a gray monk's robe and long sleeves fluttering, standing quietly.
There were nine people lying at his feet, all of them unconscious.
The yard has been cleared of snow, but there is still some residual snow mixed with mud.
She came closer with a smile, pointed at a handsome middle-aged man and said: "Master, this is Uncle Yao. He is my mother's bodyguard and one of my own."
This middle-aged man has a long face, red phoenix eyes, sword-shaped eyebrows, a straight nose, a mouth that is neither big nor small, and lips that are neither thin nor thick, just right. A mustache on his lips adds a bit of mature charm.
Li Muchan flicked his sleeves, and the middle-aged man trembled. Then he slowly opened his eyes and jumped up. The sword at his waist had been drawn out, shining coldly.
"Hey, miss?" He saw Jiang Yuyan, jumped up to her, held the sword across his chest, and stared at Li Muchan like an eagle.
He turned his back to Jiang Yuyan and said reproachfully: "Miss, why are you back!"
Jiang Yuyan reached out and patted his back, brushed off the snow and mud, and said with a smile: "I'm here to pick up my mother. Uncle Yao, will you come with us?"
"Wherever Madam goes, I will go too!" Junyi, a middle-aged man, said, still staring at Li Muchan.
Jiang Yuyan walked around him and said with a smile: "Uncle Yao, he is one of his own."
"Miss, is he...?" The handsome middle-aged man's eyes widened.
Jiang Yuyan said: "This is Master Mingkong, and I am now the master's maid."
"This...this..." Danfeng, a handsome middle-aged man, stared even wider.
Jiang Yuyan waved her hand and said with a smile: "I'll talk to Uncle Yao in detail later, and leave here first."
"Master, I'm sorry." The beautiful middle-aged woman stepped out of the room, bowed and said softly.
She was dressed in a snow-fur coat, with a luxurious and graceful appearance. The snow-white mink hair reflected her face as white as jade, her bright eyes were shining, and her whole body seemed to be enveloped in a cloud of clear light.
When it comes to beauty, Jiang Yuyan is far inferior to her mother.
"You're welcome, Madam." Li Muchan returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "From now on we are a family, Yu Yan is like my sister."
The beautiful middle-aged woman smiled softly and looked at the eight people on the ground with an unbearable look.
Jiang Yuyan said: "Mom, don't worry, I just restrained them and didn't kill them."
"Master is indeed a monk and is compassionate." The beautiful middle-aged woman took a breath and said with a smile.
Li Muchan smiled and didn't say much. He was never merciful when it was time to kill someone and was compassionate because he was unnecessary and too lazy to kill more to avoid getting into trouble.
She added: "Yan'er, please send them indoors. Lying on the ground for a long time in such a cold weather will cause the root of the disease. Go quickly!"
Jiang Yuyan nodded helplessly, and middle-aged Junyi helped, carrying one person in each hand. It took them two trips to get the eight people into the house.
Li Muchan smiled and said nothing, standing quietly, his monk's robe fluttering.
Zhu'er came out carrying a big baggage, which was like a hill. Her petite body was almost crushed by the baggage. Jiang Yuyan laughed and said angrily: "You are a money-crazed person, who asked you to carry so many things!"
Zhu Er gasped: "Miss, everything here is useful!"
"Shrink it by half!" Jiang Yuyan waved her hand.
Pearl immediately wrinkled her face, shook her head and said, "Everything is indispensable!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up or throw it all away!" Jiang Yuyan rolled her eyes at her.
Pearl sighed with a grimace and turned to the beautiful middle-aged woman for help.
"Just listen to Yan'er." The beautiful middle-aged woman pursed her lips and smiled.
"Oh..., my life is so miserable!" Pearl muttered, and then carried her baggage hard into the house.
A big man named Zhou came in and said: "Madam, Miss, the car is ready."
He glanced at Li Muchan and then at the handsome middle-aged man.
The handsome middle-aged man felt a little uncomfortable and hummed: "Old Zhou, don't look at me. It would be the same if it were you. You can't stop the master's sneak attack."
"Humph." The big man named Zhou curled his lips.
Jiang Yuyan has already introduced Li Muchan to the big man named Zhou, Zhou Dashan, and the handsome middle-aged man named Yao Sitong. They are both similar in age and both are top players.
"Okay." The two of them responded hurriedly, looking at the beautiful middle-aged woman.
Jiang Yuyan supported the beautiful middle-aged woman and walked out slowly. The beautiful middle-aged woman stopped beside Li Muchan and said with a smile: "Master, please go first."
Li Muchan smiled: "You're welcome, madam. Let's go together."
Jiang Yuyan supported the beautiful middle-aged woman and walked side by side with Li Muchan. As they walked, she asked about what happened. Li Muchan said a few words and spoke lightly.
Yao Sitong and Zhou Dashan followed at the end. Yao Sitong smiled bitterly: "I don't know what happened. I just felt a gust of wind passing by and fell asleep."
Jiang Yuyan smiled and said: "Uncle Yao, these guys look strange, where did they come from?"
Yao Sitong touched the bridge of his nose, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "...it seems to be the eldest son."
"Brother's?" Jiang Yuyan's smile faded.
"It belongs to the eldest young master!" Zhou Dashan muttered.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at Li Muchan, who smiled and shook his head.
Jiang Yuyan's face was stiff and silent. The middle-aged beautiful woman sighed: "Yan'er, maybe your eldest brother has good intentions and is afraid that others will do something bad to me."
Zhou Dashan hummed: "Madam, if he had good intentions, would these guys be so presumptuous?"
Yao Sitong touched the bridge of his nose and remained silent. He looked at Jiang Yuyan and said in a low voice, "Miss, you have to be more careful and don't let anyone betray you."
"I understand." Jiang Yuyan nodded lightly.
As they spoke, Zhu'er caught up with a big burden on her back. Jiang Yuyan smiled again and nodded approvingly: "Little Zhu'er, this is right!"
Compared with the previous burden, the burden was indeed a little smaller, but it was far better than half. Jiang Yuyan did not force it, knowing that this was not easy, and Zhuer was a little money addict.
A carriage was parked in the snow outside the house. The black carriage was wide and wide, with four white horses in front. It was very majestic.
Jiang Yuyan helped the beautiful middle-aged woman into the carriage, and Zhuer went in together.
Li Muchan suddenly frowned and looked to the west.
"Madam, let's go." Zhou Dashan got on the carriage, picked up the whip, gave it a clear crack, and said in a deep voice.
The curtains of the carriage opened, revealing Jiang Yuyan's beautiful face: "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said, "Here comes someone, and the response is pretty quick."
"Old Zhou, you drive away, I will stop you!" Yao Sitong said in a deep voice.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Li Muchan: "Master...?"
"Let's go together." Li Muchan nodded, jumped onto Chi Ying's back, and picked up the bow and arrow.
Zhou Dashan and Yao Sitong frowned. Bows and arrows are useless against martial arts masters. This master is not very reliable!
