"After being attacked in Xiantao Mountain this morning, the young lady was accidentally hit by an arrow. I hurriedly called the medical officer, but the medical officer was hit in the head by an arrow and died on the spot. The young lady's injuries were extremely serious, and the villain had to take action himself.
He pulled out an arrow to treat the young lady. But after the villain had just treated the young lady's wound, the young lady's carriage was stopped by someone.
I don’t know the identity of those people. I only know that all of them had their faces covered and looked ferocious. They must be bandits or the like. Then my lady and I were caught in a bamboo house hidden in a peach forest.
There were three thieves who came to take care of us. They asked for a ransom of one hundred thousand taels. It happened that the villain had a treasure worth one hundred thousand taels, so he gave it to them. Fortunately, these people also kept their word and accepted the villain's ransom.
After taking care of the baby, he released us. Then I took the young lady all the way back to the capital."
"Is it that simple?" Jia Shangjie squinted his eyes, looking unconvinced.
Xia Shang nodded sincerely: "Sir, everything I say is true."
"Wait...you said you have a treasure worth one hundred thousand taels of silver? How did you, a poor scholar, get such a valuable treasure?"
"This..." Xia Shang pretended to be embarrassed, "After informing the adults about this matter, the adults must keep it a secret for the villain. Otherwise, the villain will be in trouble again."
Jia Shangjie was stunned for a moment, his face full of impatience: "Just tell the truth."
"The thing is like this. When the villain followed the lady in Xiantao Mountain, he had an issue with Miss Fu Qianqian..."
Afterwards, Xia Shang told Jia Shangjie the exact story with Fu Qianqian.
Jia Shangjie was also surprised when he heard this, wondering where this little book boy got the courage to confront the Prime Minister's daughter?
"But that treasure of yours?"
"That night, after Miss Fu Qianqian and I were scolded by the husband, everyone forgot about the smelly Fengqi Eight Treasure Hairpin. The villain secretly put it away, thinking that if no one came to find it,
The villain treated it as a private property, and returned it if anyone came looking for it. Unexpectedly, after a long time, no one cared about the eight-treasure hairpin. The villain was still happy to make a big fortune, but he didn't expect it halfway.
I met a thief. In order to save my life, the villain gave away the Eight Treasure Hairpin. I heard those people said that this Fengqi Eight Treasure Hairpin was a priceless treasure. I was very happy after receiving it, and then let the lady and I go.
"
Jia Shangjie didn't say anything more, he just pondered and thought about something, glancing at Xia Shang from time to time, as if he wanted to see some flaw in Xia Shang's eyes.
However, Xia Shang's acting skills did not surprise Jia Shangjie. After a long time, Jia Shangjie finally said: "You have done a great job this time. Go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow, go to the accountant to receive a reward of one hundred taels."
Xia Shang was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir, for the reward."
After saying this, he said goodbye, walked back and left the house.
"Is this boy really willing to give up a priceless treasure for his master?"
With a trace of doubt, Jia Shangjie left the hut and went to Li Youlan's room.
By chance, the doctor who had been summoned urgently went into the house to check on Li Youlan and came out, meeting Jia Shangjie who had arrived.
Jia Shangjie thought about it and hurriedly called the doctor: "Doctor, how is Youlan's injury?"
"Replying to your lord, the young lady's injury is very serious. The wound is only a finger's distance from the heart. It's God's fault. If it's a little off, not even gods can save her. Fortunately, the young lady's wound was treated in time. In the next time,
Follow the prescriptions given by me and take good care of yourself. You will be able to get out of bed and walk after one month, and you will be fully recovered after two months."
"So serious?" Jia Shangjie frowned, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Doctor, you said Youlan's wound was treated promptly?"
"Yes, Miss is also a very blessed person. Fortunately, she has a good doctor around her, otherwise this wound may have left a lifelong legacy of illness."
"A good doctor? You mean the person who treated Youlan's wounds knows medical skills?"
"More than understanding? He is a person with superb medical skills. I have carefully observed the dressing of Miss's wounds. His technique is very skillful and brilliant, which is not something ordinary doctors can do."
Jia Shangjie pondered for a moment, then nodded before letting the doctor leave.
After the doctor left, Jia Shangjie pushed the door open and entered Li Youlan's room.
In the room, the maid Ping'er was still crying.
She was also in the carriage at that time, but she fainted from the fright. When she woke up, she found that the ladies were gone, and she was surrounded by soldiers who came to the rescue from the capital, and then she followed them back here. She was not missed during this period.
When I asked about the situation, it was a pity that she didn't know anything, and she was frightened even thinking about it.
Seeing Ping'er still crying, Jia Shangjie was a little impatient and shouted: "Why are you still crying? Get out quickly!"
Ping'er responded and left quickly.
On the bed, Li Youlan seemed to feel much better than in the car. She sat leaning on the bed, her pretty face without a trace of blood, and her forehead covered with sweat.
When she saw her adoptive father, Li Youlan wanted to stand up and salute, but Jia Shangjie hurriedly comforted her: "Okay, okay, it's already like this, why are you still so reserved? Although you and I don't see each other often, we still have a relationship between father and daughter. Seeing you hurt
This makes my adoptive father feel very uncomfortable and unbearable, and he doesn't know how to explain it to your father."
"There are unforeseen events in the sky, how can one avoid them? My adoptive father does not have to worry about it."
"The doctor said that you need to meditate for two months to cultivate yourself. Your adoptive father has already given you up on studying."
"But... my daughter has not done anything about the things my adoptive father and father have told me..."
"That's all, you can't even save your life, why are you talking about that? My adoptive father knows that you have hatred in your heart, and this matter is really his fault. It's just that what your adoptive father and your father want is a solution that has both ends.
, I want to protect both the family and your happiness. But no matter what, your life is threatened, and those so-called plans are nothing. After all, your father and I both want you to live well." He said,
Jia Shangjie rarely rubbed the corners of his eyes, looking a little depressed.
This scene made Li Youlan's heart soften, her eyes became wet, and she remained silent for a long time.
"Okay, okay, your adoptive father is not a sentimental person, and he will not comfort you. Now he is here to figure out the whole thing so that the thief pays the price. You have to talk about the whole thing.
's experience."
"The thing is..." Li Youlan didn't mean to hide it at first, but immediately stopped talking and asked, "What did Xia Hui say?"
Jia Shangjie was stunned again: "You only say what you know, what does it have to do with a book boy?"
"The adoptive father didn't know something. In fact, his daughter didn't know anything about it, because she fell into a coma after being hit by an arrow. What happened before and after. The daughter doesn't know. If the adoptive father wants to know what happened, he still needs to know what happened.
Please tell me you can come back in the summer." (To be continued)
