ATBLM [QT] Chapter 149.1

After breakfast, the doctor came to re-bandage Ling Yuan’s wound. Several people traveled all night, and after cleaning up, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Jiang Rui asked the people in the house for some hot water. After taking a bath, she slept. When she woke up, it was not yet lunchtime.

The courtyard was quiet. Ling Yuan had already gone out without knowing when.

He previously said that he would let her be by his side, but he did not assign a task. Jiang Rui was enjoying her leisure time and moved a small round stool to sit under the corridor, looking at the birds flying in the blue sky.

There was some movement at the gate of the courtyard. She turned around and saw that it was Ningxiang outside.

“The owner of the village has gone out.”

Ningxiang snorted, with no trace of disappointment on her face. She looked at Jiang Rui and walked in, twisting her handkerchief, “Are you okay?”

Jiang Rui got up and went into the room to find a stool for her. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. Do you want to sit down?”

“Thank you.” Ningxiang sat down hesitantly.

Originally, at Mingshan Village, the two of them had little interaction. Jiang Rui only heard that the personal maids in the main courtyard each had their own characteristics.

Ningxiang had the best appearance, and Yunxiang was the most straightforward. But no matter which one, they were a bit arrogant. It was no wonder since those who could be assigned to the main courtyard, even the maids who swept the floor, were more prestigious than others, let alone them.

A few days ago, they got to know each other better because they were riding in the same carriage. Jiang Rui found that she was not necessarily arrogant, but she did not like to talk much.

“How’s it going? Has Young Master Gu given you a hard time these days?” Jiang Rui asked her in a low voice.

Ningxiang shook her head, looked around, and also whispered: “The doctor said that he was frightened and has been having a fever for the past two days, repeatedly.”

Jiang Rui nodded.

The two of them talked a little gossip. Ningxiang pursed her lips and asked: “You…how did you think of going down to find the Owner?”

Jiang Rui said with a smile: “I didn’t think too much at the time. When I saw the Owner of the village falling off the cliff, I just wanted to go down and look for him. Moreover, Young Master Liu and the guards were both injured. Sister Ningxiang, you have to take care of Miss Gu and Young Master Gu again. I am the only one who has nothing to do.”

“Aren’t you afraid?” Ningxiang asked again.

In the barren mountains and wild ridges, the life and death of the Village Owner was uncertain. She didn’t know if she could find him or not. If she found him, she couldn’t bring him with her. Besides, she may encounter ferocious beasts.

In the past two days, Ningxiang asked herself again and again, if it were her, would she dare to go down the cliff alone?

The answer is no.

She was sold into the village when she was a child. Although she was a slave and a maid, she had no shortage of food and clothing. When she later entered the main courtyard, she grew to be so rich and well-fed.

If her parents were kind to her, then the Village Owner was also kind to her. Even so, she still didn’t dare to go down the cliff alone, but Sanniang went without hesitation.

Just now, she heard a few security guards discussing that the Owner kept Sanniang in his courtyard. Even if she, as a personal maid, had never been treated like this.

If it had been before, Ningxiang felt that she would definitely have a bit of discomfort in her heart, but now she has no idea. Because from the moment she stepped off the cliff, it was destined that the Owner of the village would treat her differently from others.

“I’m a little scared, but I always feel that the Owner of the village will be fine. As long as I find him, I don’t have to be afraid of leopards and wild boars. As a result, when I first found the Owner of the village, a big wild boar burst out of the grass and was killed by the Owner of the village.” Jiang Rui said with admiration.

After hearing this, Ningxiang was frightened and asked her about some of the circumstances under the cliff in the past two days. After learning that the two of them had spent the night in the cave, she suddenly understood why when the guards talked about it, one or two of the guards looked ambiguous.

It was common for the male master to take in the maids in the mansion, but it was not common at all in Mingshan Village. The Owner of the village had not mentioned taking wives and concubines in recent years, and there was not even a personal maid to share the room.

Would an exception be made now?

She looked at Jiang Rui’s face and wondered if she was aware of this. She wanted to remind her that whether she wanted to be an aunt or not, she had to make plans for herself as soon as possible. But, she also felt that the friendship between the two of them was not that good, and these words were too abrupt.

She hesitated for a long time, and when she looked up, she saw that the Owner of the village had stepped into the courtyard. Her face turned pale with fright.

“I have seen the Owner.” Jiang Rui and Ningxiang stood up.

Ling Yuan had a slight smile on his face: “Ignore me, you continue talking.”

Ningxiang could not continue talking. She was only surprised at how much the Owner of the village heard what she just said, so she hurriedly found an excuse and left.

Ling Yuan stopped by the stone table in the courtyard and waved to Jiang Rui: “Come here.”

“What is the Owner’s order?” Jiang Rui walked a few steps closer and poured him a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

“I told you before that you don’t have to be so formal. Sit down.”

Jiang Rui looked outside the courtyard before sitting down.

Ling Yuan smiled and asked, “I am here, why are you looking out?”

The words sounded a bit ambiguous, but Jiang Rui felt that he didn’t mean it in an ambiguous way, so she said, “It’s not good for people to see me sitting with the Owner of the village. We are neither big nor small.”

“Looking at your young age, but your thoughts are rather old-fashioned.” Ling Yuan shook his head and said half-jokingly.

“You should have some confidence in your Village Owner. Could it be that I have been in the world of martial arts for so long and have never gained any reputation, so some random person can give me some pointers?”

“Of course not,” Jiang Rui said immediately, “Young Master Liu respects the Owner very much.”

Ling Yuan said: “Then, what are you worried about? Come and see if there is anything you like.”
