Chapter 389 - 385: Making Trouble _1



The little boy saw everyone sitting on the kang eating food, looks at them curiously.

Finally, his eyes fall on Jiang Yuanbao who is eating a boiled egg. His eyes light up as he asks, “Big brother, do you have any more eggs? Can you give me one?”

Jiang Yuanbao almost chokes and quickly shakes his head, “None left.”

The boy didn’t insist, shakes off his nanny’s hand and starts to climb onto the kang.

Because he saw Mr. Wu, he feels an inexplicable familiarity, repeating, “Daddy, daddy.”

Mr. Wu: ….

The nanny quickly picked him up and whispered, “Young master, that…that’s not your daddy.”

The little boy refused to let go, shakes off his nanny’s hand, scrambles onto the bed and throws himself into Mr. Wu’s arms, his head pressed against his chest, crying, “Daddy, you came to see Yuanbao.”

Mr. Wu coughed awkwardly and said to the child, “You’ve mistaken me for someone else, I’m not your father.”

But the child did not loosen his grip, clinging to Mr. Wu, “Daddy, don’t you want Yuanbao anymore?”

Mr. Wu couldn’t be more embarrassed, “I really am not your father.”

Being mistaken for the father of a child by a young boy when he was almost seventy, this was really…

Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu, and Wei Zhan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Finally, the young boy was taken away by the nanny.

Yingbao naturally knew what was going on.

Because the boy’s real father was Pei Shixian, the old man’s beard was the spitting image of Mr. Wu’s, coupled with the fact that they were both elderly, it was no wonder that Pei Yuanbao had confused him.

A moment after the boy was taken away by the nanny, Nan Zhu, Xiao Chengjun’s attendant, found Yingbao.

He paid respect to everyone and then said to Yingbao, “My master would like to discuss a trade with the young lady?”

Yingbao flatly refused, “There’s nothing to discuss.”

Nan Zhu was quiet for a moment, then said, “Miss Jiang, my master is willing to pay a hundred taels of silver for you to attend a patient.”

Jiang Sanlang frowned, “We told you before, my daughter doesn’t attend patients, why are you here again?”

Nan Zhu clasped his fist toward Jiang Sanlang, “Sorry, but it’s an emergency. Our lord can’t afford to wait, so please understand.”

Seeing his relentless demeanor, Yingbao was also on alert.

If they suddenly attacked, there was little chance of her coming out of it.

After thinking it over, she says, “I’m studying the Forbidden Curse Technique and I do not attend patients. If you really insist, I can burn a bowl of Talisman Water for you and you can take it to your lord.”

As she spoke, she took out a talisman paper from her bag, began to chant while burning it with a lighter, placed it into a clay bowl, poured a little water into the bowl from a teapot and stirred it with her finger. She then handed the bowl to Nan Zhu, “This is Heavenly God’s blessing, give this to your lord. Maybe it could save his life.”

Nan Zhu’s lip twitched, but he still took the clay bowl, “Thanks young doctor.”

As he was about to leave, Yingbao added, “That bowl of Talisman Water is a hundred taels, please have the money sent over.”

“Okay.” Nan Zhu took the bowl and decanted the water into a bamboo tube.

Xiao Chengjun came over, “What are you doing?”

Nan Zhu knew the temper of his master, so he dared not to tell the truth, “This…this is the medicine given by Jiang Yingbao, I’ll deliver it to the lord now.” He hesitated, then added, “The medicine costs a hundred taels of silver.”

Xiao Chengjun frowned, he doesn’t say anything.

The girl wouldn’t give him the time of day, and he was planning to have her kidnapped and taken to tend his father’s illness.

But he was worried that this would make the girl hold a grudge and intentionally cause harm, which might endanger his father’s life, so he has hesitated to make a move.

It was unexpected that Nan Zhu had bought medicine from her.

Wasn’t this medicine too expensive? A hundred taels, you could buy two hundred-year-old ginseng plants with that.

Nan Zhu corked the bamboo tube, tucked it into his bosom, bowed to Xiao Chengjun, “I’ll give this to the lord right away. Master, you should head back soon, don’t delay any longer.”

His young master was indeed acting like a madman. When the eldest master ordered him to go to Qinchuan County for medicines, he ran off to bring the Han family mother and daughter back. Then they went to Qinchuan County, only to find that Miss Jiang had gone to Prefecture City.

Having no other choice, they hurried to Prefecture City, where they happened to run into Miss Jiang returning from there.

Originally, this was something to be thankful for, but due to our master’s foolish actions, we’ve managed to provoke the Jiang Family.

Fortunately, the young lady from the Jiang family was sensible and voluntarily gave him the medicine.

Whether it is useful or not, he can only treat it as a divine medicine.

Otherwise, according to the young master’s intentions, to forcibly kidnap her would not only lead to mutual harm but would also face tremendous fury from the senior master when they returned.

Nan Zhu packed his bag, mounted his horse with two guards, and rode out of town.

Yingbao stood at the inn’s entrance, watching Nan Zhu leave before returning to her room, closing the door behind her.

She then entered her earthly den, tidied up the field, picked some fruits and then came out.

Two days later, much of the snow and ice outside had melted, making the roads walkable.

Jiang Sanlang and his eldest nephew harnessed the horse carriage, ready to leave.

Yingbao bought many steamed buns from the shopkeeper’s wife and also bought charcoal, two charcoal stoves, two pots, and a kettle from the market.

She then bought several pounds of cooked meat, had it cut into pieces, and placed it with the steamed buns on the horse carriage.

As the carriages left the inn’s spacious courtyard, Yingbao peered through the carriage window to see Chen Tiantian and Xiao Chengjun coming out from the inn, looking in their direction.

Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and their sister were sitting in the horse carriage led by father Jiang Sanlang.

Old Mr. Wu and Yuanbao were in another carriage driven by Jiang Cheng.

Two other carriages were laden with bedding and baskets of food, and the Wei family sent four servants along.

The remaining horse carriages belonged to Wei Zhan and Wen Hengyin.

Not only did they bring heavy quilts and utensils for cooking with food but also unique delicacies and goods from the Prefecture City.

The horse carriages moved majestically along the official road.

The sound of crushing the icy snow filled the air.

At noon, the carriages stopped to rest, and everyone took out dry food to roast on small charcoal stoves.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves echoed from behind, about a dozen men in black rush clothes were driving horses to catch up.

As they passed the carriages, they suddenly drew their swords and slashed towards the horses.

For a moment, several horses were hit and immediately fell to the ground.

Jiang Sanlang reacted swiftly and fought back with his long spear as soon as he saw them attacking the horses.

The men in black failed to attack Jiang family’s horses and hurriedly urged their horses to flee.

“Damn it! You must be Xiao Chengjun’s men, I recognize you!” raged Wei Zhan as his two horses were hit. “If you’re capable, don’t run!”

Wen Hengyin was also furiously mad.

Their horses were also slashed and wouldn’t likely survive much longer.

The men in black were already escaping far away, and their mocking laughter still echoed faintly.

Yingbao also didn’t know what to say.

Such immaturity from Xiao Chengjun.

No, he’s simply an idiot.

Covertly killing horses seemed like childish mischief, but was in fact malicious.

They must have intended to trap them here — not a village in sight ahead or a shop behind, and the weather being this cold, without horses, they won’t be able to take the supplies on the carriages.

Add to that old and young on the Jiang family’s side, it was not safe to travel on an icy snowy road.

Yingbao squinted her eyes and immediately told her father and Wei Zhan, “They only took around ten men. There are still two horse carriages and several people left. We should wait and seize their horses.”

Chengjun’s sweetheart hadn’t arrived yet, and since those men went ahead, Chen Tiantian and her group couldn’t logically choose another path.

We’ll just wait here, and as soon as we see their carriage, we’ll catch them off guard and directly snatch their horses.

This is what they call using someone’s own methods against them.
