Chapter 185 The Sickly Young Master Has a Bad Mobility 6
After hearing what Jiang Wan said, Xu Youxian looked at her in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted person. You've fallen to the point of digging for food in the mountains, but after you saved me, the first thing you thought of was not yourself, but your former master..."
Jiang Wan's eyes were empty, as if he didn't realize that this was a compliment to him.
"He is not my master, and I am no longer a maid in the Ye Mansion."
Xu Youxian choked up, "So you still want me to help you rescue him?"
There was a trace of confusion and dullness in Jiang Wan's eyes, and he said as a matter of course: "He said he wanted to go with me, so of course I have to rescue him."
Xu Youxian had seen too many smart people, and most of them were proud of pretending to be stupid, but she couldn't see anything unusual in Jiang Wan.
What an honest little girl.
But after thinking carefully about what Jiang Wan said, Xu Youxian already had a preliminary understanding of the man named Ye Qingchen. He was a sickly and weak son of a concubine who was unable to walk. Even if he was rescued, what could he do? Would it be better than his current situation?
Of course, she was more worried about implicating Jiang Wan. It was such a pity that such a sincere girl had helped her so much, only to save this useless person.
Thinking of this, Xu Youxian couldn't help but try to persuade Jiang Wan again, but in the end, he couldn't change his mind.
Xu Youxian had no choice but to agree, knowing that she had to return to Kyoto to ask her brother to help pick up Ye Qingchen. Jiang Wan stopped busy with his own affairs and followed her closely, as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.
This was exactly what Xu Youxian wanted. She didn't expect Xu Zhuyi to be so bold as to attack her openly. It was still unknown how many useful people she had around her. The two little maids were also scared. With Jiang Wan, who was as strong as a calf, by her side, she felt a lot more at ease.
When they were close just now, Xu Youxian quietly pinched Jiang Wan's arm. It was hard and strong, and with his dull brain, it seemed that he would not be easily bribed. He was definitely the best person to protect her!
After what happened on the road, Mrs. Xu lost her mind to worship Buddha and headed straight home with her large group.
Despite this, how could someone whose wolfish ambitions had already been exposed be willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and give Xu Youxian some breathing room so that she could return to Beijing and free up her hands to deal with herself?
Things have come to this point, they must cut the weeds and eradicate them completely. They must make sure Xu Youxian can never return to Kyoto!
That night, Jiang Wan heard a slight noise outside the house and sat up with a start.
Xu Youxian was worried and had not slept well. He finally persuaded Jiang Wan to sleep next to him on the pretext that there were no extra rooms. He finally managed to fall asleep. But now he was frightened by her sudden movement. His whole mind was shaken and his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Despite this, she still patted her chest and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Jiang Wan?"
"There's someone outside."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youxian took a deep breath.
At this moment, the door was quietly pushed open. The "creaky" sound was particularly obvious in the dark night. Xu Youxian swallowed hard and grasped Jiang Wan's clothes with both hands in fear.
The bed curtain was slightly opened, and the cold light of the cold weapon flashed across Xu Youxian's eyes, scaring her so much that her heart jumped up.
However, before she could scream, Jiang Wan found an object from somewhere and smashed it into the invader's face.
The man's cry of pain exploded in the silent night. Xu Youxian was so scared that he wanted to shrink back to Jiang Wan, but he found that the little girl was fearless and had already gone out to fight with the man.
Listening to the fighting sounds in the house, Xu Youxian clenched her fists. The pain of her nails piercing her palms made her calm down a little. She immediately turned over and got out of bed, shouting for help outside the house, while shivering as she lit the candle in front of the bed, trying to create a more favorable lighting environment for Jiang Wan.
The dim candlelight illuminated the entire room, and Xu Youxian could see clearly that there was not only one man in black in the room, but also three of his accomplices!
Seeing Xu Youxian's position clearly, the man in black flashed forward and was about to stab her with the sharp blade. Xu Youxian was so frightened that her legs went weak and she even forgot to dodge.
At the critical moment, when she thought she was about to be killed by the knife, a short leg appeared out of nowhere and kicked the man in black to the side.
It's Jiang Wan! It's Jiang Wan's leg!
Just before going to bed, Xu Youxian had taken a close look at her. Not only did this little girl look silly and stupid, she also had a short stature. Xu Youxian couldn't believe that someone could grow such short legs, and he secretly gestured to himself for a long time!
Fearing that the man in black would attack Xu Youxian again, Jiang Wan did not want to fight. He stayed in front of Xu Youxian and threw whatever he got at him.
The man in black didn't take her seriously until those objects hit him...
Is this still a girl? Her small body is full of strength, and when she is hit, it feels like she has been punched by a strong man.
It was clearly that they were throwing things around without any plan, but the four men were unable to move forward or backward. After they had thrown all the things in their hands, Xu Youxian handed new things to Jiang Wan. Only after they heard the commotion outside did the leader of the men in black have to announce their retreat.
But who would have known that the next moment, a pear flew from the sky, not even giving him a chance to dodge, and hit him directly on the temple. He instantly lost consciousness and fell asleep.
The noise outside the house was very close at hand, and Jiang Wan inside the house was already showing signs of coming over to snatch the person away. The other three had no choice but to leave in a hurry.
Fearing that the man in black was not completely unconscious, Jiang Wan pulled off his mask and slapped him twice. Afterwards, as if nothing had happened, he said to Xu Youxian, who was standing behind him in a daze, with a wooden face: "We are so lucky. We have caught an accomplice. Send him to the authorities and we will know who wants to harm us!"
Before Xu Youxian could respond, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person leading the way was Xu Zhuyi, who hurriedly supported Old Madam Xu over.
She glanced around hurriedly, and when she saw the man in black lying on the ground, her mouth twitched for a moment, but she quickly recovered and smiled stiffly, "Sister, are you okay? The old lady and I came here when we heard the noise. We thought it was the bandits chasing us for revenge. I was so worried..."
Xu Youxian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he immediately entered a fighting state. "Sister, be careful with your words. Don't say such things carelessly. The guards around us are all carefully selected by the Xu family. Can those bandits have three heads and six arms and break through the heavy encirclement?"
Xu Zhuyi naturally would not slap herself in the face and say that the Xu family's guards were incompetent. She could only bury her head and mutter, "It's my sister who is stupid."
"You're really not smart."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhuyi slowly raised her head, with anger growing in her eyes.
"No one was on guard when they came to my place, and no one noticed them when they left my place. Of course they must be the traitors!"
"Sister, don't you think that the person lying on the ground looks familiar? It's like you've seen him somewhere before."
