Chapter 60: Scheme against each other
Ruyi Building, servants' quarters in the backyard.
Jiang Jiman coaxed softly, "Ranran, he's Manager Wu's son. If you go with him, you'll never have to worry about food and drink in the future. What's there to be unwilling about?"
"Third Brother, I... I'm engaged to Brother Qi."
Jiang Ranran never expected that after cooking for this family with a limp, she would hear a bolt from the blue when she returned!
She turned her head and looked at the other members of the Jiang family.
Li lowered her head and just kept crying. Jiang Chuan remained silent, while Uncle Jiang buried his head in his food.
Jiang Zhongtian, however, looked at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
She immediately grasped at a straw, "Second Brother, you must also think I shouldn't have gone to see Young Master Wu, right?"
"Ranran, we have nothing left now, and the refugee groups in the village won't let us go with them. What do you think we'll do if we don't go with Ruyi Tower?"
Jiang Zhongtian's eyes were full of pity. "Brother knows you've been wronged, but we really have no other choice."
Jiang Chuan glared at them unhappily.
"Look at what you're saying! Ranran is a sensible girl, how could she possibly refuse?"
He smiled at Jiang Ranran and said, "Right, my good girl?"
"..."
Jiang Ranran dug her nails deep into her flesh and shook Li's shoulder. "Mother, please say something."
"I...I'm just a stupid woman, how would I know what to do?"
Li shrank behind Jiang Chuan and lowered her head.
"you!"
Jiang Ranran wanted to go crazy, but she couldn't possibly get to the Ye family's estate on her own.
I never expected that these people who always spoke so sweetly, as if they treated me like their own daughter, would now be willing to push me out for a chance to escape!
Jiang Jiman never expected that her sister, who usually said she would do anything for them, would now keep making excuses.
Indeed, the most untestable thing is the human heart.
He said softly, "Ranran, if you don't want to, then forget it. Remember, your third brother will never force you to do something you don't like. Isn't your third brother good to you?"
His agreement surprised the rest of the Jiang family. They hadn't agreed to this before.
But since it was the third son, they just listened and no one said anything more.
Jiang Ranran was so moved she almost cried. "Third Brother, you're so good to me."
“We can’t keep these four boxes. Go find Manager Wu and tell him that this is your sincerity and beg him to take us in for the journey.”
Jiang Jiman spoke slowly, as if afraid she wouldn't hear him clearly, "You know best what's in here, he'll definitely agree. However, there's one small request: we have to carry these things ourselves."
"Why? Can you... do it?"
Jiang Ranran glanced at the pustules on their faces. Even without these pimples, there were only five of them. How could they carry four boxes? Why should they work for free?
"Others fleeing famine usually have something with them. If we go empty-handed, won't people point fingers at us?"
Jiang Jiman explained it to her, but in reality, he had many other ulterior motives.
He was worried that the box might not contain anything of value. If he let Jiang Ranran speak to him, and if Manager Wu and the others discovered it, he could pin the blame on her and give her away as a gift! Therefore, he needed to win over this younger sister.
He would never make the same mistake again; he would never repeat the mistakes Jiang Mianmian had made!
She's just a younger sister. Since none of them are biological children, what difference does it make which one we give away?
Jiang Ranran was unaware of his ulterior motives, nor did she care to know.
She was quite pleased, as this gave her an excuse to stay with Ruyi Tower's group for the time being. When they reached the vicinity of Ye Family Village, she could slip away unnoticed!
Anyway, she won't bring those vampires from the Jiang family with her!
The two were each making their own plans. After the goods were delivered, Manager Wu didn't ask any questions and readily agreed to their request. He even gave them a cart, saying that Jiang Ranran's foot injury hadn't healed yet, and this would make things more convenient.
This gave Jiang Ranran the illusion that Manager Wu treated her quite well!
Little did he know, Manager Wu was simply worried that if she were to die by accident, it would be difficult to do business with Miss Jiang in the future.
It was because the people he sent out had failed to find Miss Jiang, which greatly annoyed him.
Not only him, but Wei San was so busy searching for Jiang Mianmian that he almost cried.
He's been a bodyguard for over ten years, traveling all over the country, and this is the first time he's ever been unable to find someone!
After leaving Ye Family Manor, he headed straight for Lingxiao Tower, only to find it empty!
Then he remembered that Doctor Jiang had already left the city with the girls from Lingxiao Tower. Thinking he could just grab a bite to fill his stomach, he went out of the city to look for him. He heard that Doctor Jiang had saved someone at Ruyi Tower a couple of days ago, so he went to Ruyi Tower and subtly inquired about him.
Sure enough, that person was Miss Jiang!
Keren is gone.
Just as I was feeling confused, I saw a large group of people rushing to the back door of Ruyi Building, saying that there was something rare there.
He considers himself to have extremely high professional ethics and would never watch the excitement while doing a task.
When the onlookers returned, they told them that the strange thing was called a car, and it was driven by a girl named Jiang! She took a lot of people back to the village!
He was furious and hurriedly followed Dr. Jiang to Tupo Village.
Haha, his speed couldn't compare to the car's speed. By the time he arrived, all he saw was the 'Blessing Fairy's' vehicle speeding away.
Wei San was confused again. Had Doctor Jiang been taken away by the Blessing Fairy?
Huh? What about him? Where can he find that fairy?
Wei San found a dilapidated temple and wanted to calm down.
Then, a familiar sound was heard! The whirring of the Blessing Fairy's chariot!
He quickly got up and chased after them for a short distance.
Exhausted, I gave up. I had just lay down on the ground thinking for a while when the earth dragon came down the mountain!
He almost drowned!
Wei San dragged his exhausted body back to Ruyi Tower and was fast asleep when he heard a loud bang!
He felt that these strange things must be related to Doctor Jiang!
I rushed towards the east gate and, sure enough, I heard that there had been a disturbance earlier, and a girl had killed the most troublemaker with a hidden dart! That was amazing!
Unfortunately, the person has disappeared again!
Wei San: "..."
I've never felt that being a guard was so tiring, really!
He thought that since Doctor Jiang treated the women of Lingxiao Tower so well, she certainly wouldn't abandon them. Since she could move around so freely down the mountain, she must have already settled those women in.
If we can't find Doctor Jiang, finding those women will do!
Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump, is that alright?
