Chapter 620
Chapter 620
When the two of them went up the mountain to look for some tree trunks and branches, a carriage came from the opposite direction. Jin Fuyun looked at it from afar. The carriage was painted black. It seemed that it belonged to a noble from the capital.
She immediately limped to her feet and tried to stop a car.
Fortunately, there were two large rocks in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the carriage. The coachman and two horseback guards stopped the carriage and got off to check.
When I looked up, I saw a disheveled woman standing opposite me.
I thought it was a female ghost at first, and my heart was pounding with fear. But then I saw that the sun was setting in the sky, and it had not yet set in the west. It was impossible for a female ghost to come out and harm people at this time.
"Who is it?"
The driver muttered, and the guard took a closer look and exclaimed, "Hey, a young lady!"
Jin Fuyun didn't recognize the guard's appearance, so he asked carefully, "May I ask if you recognize me?" The guard immediately bowed and took two steps forward, "May I ask if you are the eldest daughter of the Jin family?"
"Exactly."
Jin Fuyun pointed at the carriage that was half exposed in the river beside him and said in a deep voice, "I went out to visit my mentor, but encountered a rockfall in the mountains, which knocked down the carriage and scared the horses. My guards died in the river, and the farmers in the mountains only rescued me..."
It turned out to be the case.
"Wait a moment, young lady."
The guard immediately turned around, walked a few steps to the carriage, and whispered to the people in the carriage.
The two people who were hugging each other in the car were stunned on the soft seat after hearing this, "Miss Jin encountered trouble?"
The guard whispered, "The carriage is still in the river, so it must be true. The young lady is injured and in a miserable state, guarding here alone."
He Jiang snorted, "Whatever!"
He asked the guards to withdraw, lowered his head and kissed the man in his arms, "My dear, you have to bear with me today. Don't say you are familiar with me, just say we met by chance on the road."
Song Youan had a gloomy face, and from the side, his feminine appearance was also stunning, but when he turned his head, he could clearly see a scar about an inch long on the other cheek.
It's like a tiny flaw on a white wall or a bright pearl losing its luster.
Such a beautiful girl has lost her beauty because of this scar.
"Why don't you let me get off the car and allow you two to be affectionate with each other?" He became jealous, but this just happened to soothe He Jiang's heart. "Oh my dear, how can you be affectionate with her? Please don't be so embarrassed. Now that she is watching from outside, how can I abandon you?"
After saying that, he kissed and coaxed her again before he got up and got off the carriage.
He pretended to be just woken up, "What's the matter? Is it the girl? In such a remote place, is the girl okay?"
Without waiting for the guard to reply, He Jiang turned to look at Jin Fuyun who was standing on the gravel and dirt, and whispered, "Miss, are you seriously injured?"
He immediately ran over, wanting to support Jin Fuyun, but was afraid of appearing rude. Jin Fuyun was originally happy to see the person coming, but seeing that it was He Jiang, the least expected person, she felt mixed feelings and relief.
After all, the two of them are engaged, and He Jiang will definitely not sit idly by.
Sure enough, as soon as He Jiang arrived, he eagerly asked about his health. Jin Fuyun was alone at the moment and could not show off, so she could only say, "I heard that Master was not feeling well, so I went to visit him early in the morning with my guards. I didn't expect that as soon as we arrived here, rubble rolled down from the mountain and startled the horses—"
Pointing at the carriage roof that was vaguely visible in the river and Qiao Wan who was buried at the bottom of the river, he felt sad.
The corners of his eyes were slightly wet, and he turned his head to wipe them with his sleeve.
Anyone who saw this state of desolation would feel sorry for him. He Jiang sighed and said, "Forget it, young lady, follow me into the city first. After you settle down, I will send people to salvage the body. I wonder who else is in the river?"
Jin Fuyun choked up and said, "It's Qiao Wan, the guard in front of me."
oh--
"Is he dead?"
Jin Fuyun nodded with difficulty, "I heard from the farmer who rescued me that I was crushed by a horse and couldn't get away. I'm afraid that's why I drowned."
"Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, the young lady is fine."
He looked back and whispered, "There is no maidservant for the young prince. If you are unable to walk, you can hold the young prince's arm and walk slowly."
At this point, Jin Fuyun no longer cared about the differences between men and women.
She reluctantly bowed to He Jiang and thanked him, then supported He Jiang's limping leg and walked with difficulty. However, after only two steps, she felt a piercing pain in her injured leg. She could no longer bear it and bent down to check the wound but did not dare to touch it casually.
Today, misfortunes never come singly.
Seeing this, He Jiang whispered, "Miss, I am sorry for offending you today." He then picked her up horizontally. Jin Fuyun screamed but swallowed it, "I am sorry for causing trouble to you, Prince."
He Jiang held her in his arms as if nothing was in his arms, striding over the gravel and mud, "Luckily we met, otherwise, what would a grown-up girl do alone in this place with no village in front and no land behind?"
At this point, Jin Fuyun lowered his eyelids and sighed, "Because of the funeral, my brother didn't let me go out casually. This morning, I sneaked out with my guards. I wanted to go to Mr. Jiang, but I encountered something like this..."
Sure enough, he sneaked out.
He Jiang thought to himself, who knows if you came out to meet your lover secretly, or if you have other plans?
But his face showed regret and pity, "The eldest lady is concerned about her mentor, but the eldest master is a little unkind. Fortunately, you are fine."
He Jiang was tall and had long legs. He walked up to the carriage in a few steps.
The driver had trotted over and was helping to lift the curtain. Jin Fuyun originally thought that the carriage was empty, but she never expected that there was a dark-faced evil spirit sitting inside. Upon closer inspection, she was shocked to find that the man with a scar on his cheek was actually Song Youan!
When Song Youan saw her in such a state of disgrace, he immediately felt relieved.
He didn't even move his body, looking at the person in He Jiang's arms with a gloating look, and reluctantly bowed and said, "It turns out to be Miss Jin, the Princess of the County. I am so sorry for my disrespect."
The wound on Song Youan's face was caused by strange circumstances.
After he told Pei An that he had entrusted his younger brother to him, he was attacked from behind before he even left the alley. When he woke up, he felt a burning pain on his face, and when he touched it, it was covered in blood.
Song Youan knew that someone was trying to destroy him.
But, who is it?
He roamed among the noble circles in the capital and made countless enemies. To be honest, if anyone wanted to ruin his face, he could easily do so by simply reaching out his hand, and there would be ten or twenty of them.
Song Youan had no way to seek revenge, and suspicions came and went, including Jin Fuyun in front of him.
After all, he used Yu Cheng to extort a large sum of money from Jin Fuyun, and there was no guarantee that she might have evil intentions towards him.
But speculation is just speculation after all, and Song Youan is of low status after all. He Jiang saw that he was injured, and although he said he wanted to find out, he didn't really take it seriously.
On the contrary, I like his ugly face now.
When they first met today, Song Youan's sarcasm was unconsciously revealed, and He Jiang had to reprimand him, "Mr. Song, please speak kindly. I want to give you a ride, but you can't be so rude!"
Jin Fuyun was under the eaves and had no choice but to bow his head.
With a sad face, he looked at He Jiang and ignored Song Youan's apology.
