ARDA - Chapter 39 - A Gentleman Sent me Back

 On the tree, Yuan Feng was hiding in the dark.

His eyes widened when he saw this scene, and his feet slipped in shock, almost falling from the tree.

Is this still his lord? His Lordship even approached a woman, and even hugged her by the waist. ......

Yuan Feng looked up at the sky to see if the sun was coming out in the west today.

His Lordship has never been close to women. He remembered when Princess Hualian threw herself into his arms. His Lordship coldly avoided her, causing Princess Hualian to fall down. Some people who wanted to approach overtly or covertly were all dealt with. 

But now...

He actually took the initiative to approach Miss Jiang.

Who is this Miss Jiang?

......

Chu Yunli hugged Jiang Ning and walked all the way to the Pavilion building.

Jiang Ning was stiff all over and felt uneasy.

"Miss! Miss..." At this time, Chun Lan's voice came from not far away.

Jiang Ning was relieved. When Chun Lan came, she could let Chun Lan help her back without having to bother the regent.

Chun Lan ran over quickly and saw the young lady being held by a strange man. She covered her mouth in shock, "Miss..." Wait, isn't the man holding the young lady, the young master of the Chu family?

Jiang Ning tugged on the lapel of Chu Yunli's clothes and said, "Lord Chu, it is enough to send me here. Please let me down."

Chu Yunli's eyes flashed with darkness, and he gently put her down.

Chun Lan knew the current situation and walked over to support Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning grabbed Chun Lan's hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe, "Nothing happened, right?"

Chun Lan shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm fine. There's something that delayed me. What's wrong with you, Miss? How could..."

"I accidentally sprained my foot."

"It's all the slave's fault!" Chun Lan felt guilty. If she could have arrived earlier, the lady would not have sprained her foot. "The slave originally wanted to go to the lady immediately, but Hong Zhu pulled the slave to do something..."

"Hong Zhu?"

Jiang Ning's eyes were slightly cold, Hong Zhu was a servant in Jiang Mengyue's yard.

Jiang Mengyue asked her servants to drag Chun Lan, which would leave her alone and allow Xu Yuanqing to have an opportunity to approach her.

What a good plan.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Help me go back." Jiang Ning felt a sharp pain in her ankle. It would be better to go back and ask a doctor to take a look as soon as possible.

"Yes." Chun Lan carefully supported Jiang Ning.

After taking two steps, Jiang Ning remembered something, turned around, and sincerely thanked Chu Yunli, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for sending me back. I wasted your time."

She saw Chu Yunli's eyes narrow slightly, like a fox. He smiled lightly and said, "Remember this kindness."

Jiang Ning was stunned.

That's it?

After walking such a long way, do you want her to repay the favor? 

Jiang Ning limped to the Pavilion building with Chun Lan's support.

"Miss, slow down." Chun Llan helped Jiang Ning sit on the wooden chair.

Jiang Ning took off her shoes and socks and saw that her ankle was red and swollen. No wonder it hurt so much.

Chun Lan was a little anxious when she saw it, "Oh, it's all swollen!"

When she was panicking, there was a knock on the door. Chun Lan walked over and opened the door. She didn't know who was outside. After a while, Chun Lan closed the door and returned.

"Lord Chu sent medicine for bruises."

Jiang Ning looked at the porcelain bottle and was a little surprised. Chu Yunli specially gave her medicine?

"Miss, it's not easy to hire a doctor in this remote place. Why don't you rub it with this medicinal oil first? It will reduce the swelling."

Jiang Ning endured the pain and nodded.

I don’t know whether it was Chunlan’s technique or the bruise medicine that worked. After rubbing it, the pain was gone. There was a slight cooling feeling, and the redness and swelling had subsided a lot.

I just can't move around yet, I have to rest for a few days.

Not long after, a figure walked in hurriedly.

Jiang Mengyue's face was full of worry, "Sister, I heard that you sprained your foot. What's going on?"

Jiang Ning glanced at Jiang Mengyue. She clearly remembered that Jiang Mengyue went up the mountain first and said she was going to find other ladies. She didn't expect that she would come down so quickly and know that she was injured.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "The ground was slippery and I accidentally fell, which made my sister worried."

"It's all my fault. If I had been with you at that time, you wouldn't have been hurt..." Jiang Mengyue looked guilty, "How did you come back alone?"

When she asked this question, a strange color flashed in her eyes.

She wanted to know if Xu Yuanqing went to see Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning saw the intention from Jiang Mengyue's eyes, lowered her face slightly, her cheeks were slightly red, like a girl in springtime, and whispered, "A young master happened to pass by and sent me back."
