Chapter 73.1: Cutting Off the Bite Scar, Chopped Up and Fed to the Dogs
“Miss knows who we are?” An Yi clearly knew everything, but in front of Jing Wan he still appropriately expressed his surprise.
Jing Wan didn’t answers him, only casting a glance at Li Hong Yuan. That meaning could not be more obvious.
An Jiu no longer hesitated, quickly stepping forward to examine Li Hong Yuan’s situation again. Fortunately, the medicine was effective, and his condition was currently improving gradually. An Jiu nodded towards the others. Afterwards, they skillfully untied the bandages on Li Hong Yuan, and applied medicine for him, before using brand new white cloth to re-bandage the wound. Compared to Jing Wan alone, An Jiu, under the help of the others, had a much easier time treating Li Hong Yuan’s wounds. Afterwards, with two people working together, they rapidly helped him put on his clothes. Very obvious, it was his usual clothes, low-key yet gorgeous. With just a simple clean up, Li Hong Yuan’s sorry state was mostly swept away. And with his eyes closed, he was undoubtedly a quiet sleeping beauty.
Seeing that Li Hong Yuan was swiftly cleaned up, An Yi looked to Jing Wan once again. “What happened at the waist of the mountain, we are all aware. Presumably, miss must be the Luo family’s third miss. For miss to be able to be safe and sound, truly joyous.”
Jing Wan nodded, “Indeed.” Then, she hesitated for a moment, and said, “Dare I ask how are the others?”
“All without life-threatening worries.”
Even so, it didn’t mean that they were all completely fine. However, to be able to live was good. Being alive meant there was hope. “Many thanks.”
“I dare not accept, it should be us thanking miss instead. If not for miss, don’t even know what will happen to master, if master were to have any mishaps, we wouldn’t be able to escape the blame even in death.”
“Merely just happened to have encountered by chance. No matter who, no one would just watch someone die and not help. Besides, Jin Qinwang is a noble descendent of the heavens, naturally he has good fortune.
An Yi quietly said in his heart, there wouldn’t be others. Even if someone just happened to come across by chance, they would still be disposed of. “Miss is too modest.”
Jing Wan didn’t comment. She didn’t want to continue getting tangled up in this matter anymore. “Then, it’s still those words from earlier, how do you all intend to deal with me?”
Not just An Yi, even the others all inwardly grieved endlessly. They’d clearly averted already, why insist returning to this question again? Jing Wan only thought Li Hong Yuan was still asleep, but they were very clear, master was awake. ‘Punishing’ master’s darling in front of his face? How many lives did they have? But getting asked a second time, if they still avoid and not discuss it, it’ll inevitably arouse her suspicion. An Yi glanced to his own master, hoping to be able to receive his guidance. Unfortunately, master was clearly planning on pretending to the end. Then looking to the others, each and every one all ‘very busy’, not one acknowledged him. He secretly cursed them for not being faithful. However, he also knew, these guys just didn’t want to ‘offend’ the future mistress. What if she decides to settle the score later? Deliberating for a moment, he had no choice but to harden his head, “What is miss thinking, do you want a title, or something else….”
“Can you represent your master in handling this kind of small matter?” Jing Wan neither lightly nor harshly interrupted his following words.
Small matter? Great aunt, ancestor, your matters, even the tiniest ones needed to be handled like enormous matters. Furthermore, this really isn’t a small matter. You don’t need to view yourself this lightly. “This one naturally can’t, but I will report miss’s intentions back to master, then have him decide.”
Jing Wan thought, based on Jin Qinwang’s causal attitude towards women, his subordinates casually taking care of a person or two should be more than normal. Fortunately, Li Hong Yuan couldn’t hear Jing Wan’s thoughts, else he might just vomit blood from anger, and most likely fiercely ‘punish’ Jing Wan too. “Then, please pass on to Wangye that this subject doesn’t want anything. Just treat it as I’ve never met Wangye, and further didn’t save Wangye. You all naturally never saw me either. In the past, there were no interactions, so in the future, there will similarly be no interactions either.”
Great aunt, afraid your wish won’t be fulfilled. Not only were there interactions before, in the future, you two will further be firmly tied together. “This one will have miss’s words passed on exactly as such.”
Jing Wan nodded her head, “I’ll be waiting for Wangye’s decision.”
“If Wangye wants to let miss enter the manor, what will miss do?” An Yi curiously asked this. However, as soon as it came out, he faintly regretted it immediately. Initially, he wanted to remedy the situation. Yet, as a result, because he’d been intentionally or otherwise paying close attention to his master the whole time, fearing that he would have some instructions and he(An Yi) wouldn’t be able to see it, this time, An Yi really met with his half open eyes. No need to think to understand that master also wanted to know the answer. Thus, the remaining words, just as they reached his mouth, were swallowed back down again.
“You’re being rude.” Although her family background wasn’t prominent, these words still weren’t something a bodyguard could ask, even if this bodyguard served someone of the imperial family.
An Yi felt embarrassed. Since he was the one that courted disaster first, then even if he really died, he should still harden his head and court death till the end. “This one is merely asking out of duty, thinking if master were to ask, it would be good to have a response. This one really isn’t intending to offend miss, asking miss to please forgive me.”
Jing Wan smiled, “You sure are a loyal and devoted good bodyguard. This question, better wait until when your master really wants me to enter Jin Wang manor, and I’ll to tell you with my actions.”
An Yi felt that although she was smiling, those eyes of hers really were quite cold, even making him feel that it was unusually similar to master’s at certain times. He couldn’t help feeling apprehensive. This time, he might have really offended her. He could only hope that she won’t hold a grudge. Else, so long as she had that bit of intention to find him trouble, he believed his master will very happy to teach him a lesson to appease her. So tiring. He clearly was bearing the burden for his master, yet couldn’t get the least bit of good.
“Then, we will take our leave first.” An Yi went forward to help An Jiu hold up Li Hong Yuan.
“Wait.” Jing Wan stopped them.
“What else does miss need?”
“Who can help cut off this marking? And let others think that when I fell down from above, I got cut by broken branches and such.” Jing Wan unhesitantly touched her own neck.
As soon as these words came out, the shadow guards all felt the surrounding air seemingly turn cold by quite a bit. Their backs fell cold, but they held back the urge to look towards their own master.
“What? Is it very difficult? I myself don’t know my own strength; I’m worried if I go heavy-handed, I will injure a blood vessel. If it’s you all, should be able to perfectly have the marking covered up and not get too severely injured.” The underlying meaning was if they don’t do it, then she will do it herself.
This was a difficult problem. Compared to the one in the beginning, this one gave them even more of a headache, alright!
Observing their awkwardly dodging gazes, “I thought, this kind of marking, you all ought to be used to, and wouldn’t be surprised seeing. Furthermore, judging by that expression, you all are also very certain who did it. But now, you are all acting shy, practically unlike a man.” Jing Wan first blatantly stabbed Li Hong Yuan, then had these bodyguards pricked full of blood.
———-Great aunt, we’re truly innocent. They’ve definitely never seen these things before. Also, please don’t say careless things, it might get someone killed. It’s completely because that bite mark of yours is too obvious, that’s why they immediately saw at a glance. They definitely didn’t peek at it deliberately. It’s not that we’re not like men, it’s that your boldness is more daring than men.
———-Master, the future wangfei’s fighting power is too scary, we’re unable hold up any longer, quickly stop pretending. Those ‘love affairs’ are all your own fault, don’t when the time comes, have us subordinates come face the winds and block the rains! You can hide for a moment, but can’t hide for a lifetime. Wait until wangfei marries in, and closes the doors to settle the score, this subordinate won’t be able to help you then.
