Chapter 109: Just a Means to Attract Me
Jiang Tunan: As long as I pretend not to hear, he is not calling me.
"Miss Jiang."
Mu Wuhuan seemed to be able to teleport. As soon as Jiang Tunan thought about turning around and running away, he immediately and accurately blocked Jiang Tunan.
"Miss Jiang, don't you want to say hello to me?"
Mu Wuhuan has gentle brows and clear eyes, and looks harmless.
"Hello, Master Mu. Goodbye, Master Mu."
Although Mu Wuhuan did look like a weak scholar, Jiang Tunan felt from the bottom of his heart that this man was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
It’s better to stay away from him. This guy can become the top scorer in the imperial examination. If he tries to play tricks on me, I will definitely lose to him.
Jiang Tunan moved a little to the side and wanted to leave after saying hello, but Mu Wuhuan stopped him with his hand.
"I did something to displease Miss Jiang, causing her to avoid me."
Mu Wuhuan's tone was innocent, as if he had encountered something troubling.
“Because I’m not familiar with it.”
Jiang Tunan must remain vigilant towards all those who may become the heroine's followers, because Mu Wuhuan's behavior is too suspicious.
"Miss Jiang, you don't have to be on guard against me. I just want to come and thank Miss Jiang. Last time, I was embarrassed by the gangsters, and it was all thanks to Miss Jiang who came to my rescue."
Jiang Tunan stretched out his hand in front of Mu Wuhuan. Mu Wuhuan didn't quite understand Jiang Tunan's operation.
"Miss Jiang, what's this?"
"Don't you want to thank me? Just give me some gold coins."
Mu Wuhuan looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Jiang Tunan to speak so directly. Jiang Tunan, on the other hand, looked puzzled.
"Mr. Mu, you come here to thank someone without anything, right? No way, no way, you come here empty-handed?"
Mu Wuhuan: ...
Mu Wuhuan just felt a little hot on his face. After all, he just happened to meet Jiang Tunan and said that casually. Besides, he was carried by Jiang Tunan's maid the whole time and was thrown aside by the maid halfway. Every time he thought about it, he felt upset.
It was just a casual remark, why did she take it seriously?
"I..."
Jiang Tunan clapped his hands vigorously, and looked at Mu Wuhuan with a clear mind.
"I get it! Man! This is just your way of attracting me."
Mu Wuhuan:?
Jiang Tunan raised his hands and wiped them over his ears, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Heh, you deliberately didn't bring a thank-you gift, but you actually want to marry me?"
Mu Wuhuan looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but he didn't dare to look at Jiang Tunan. Although Jiang Tunan kept smiling, his toes were already digging into the ground.
"Hmm? Man, why don't you dare look at me? Are you playing hard to get?"
Jiang Tunan approached step by step, and Mu Wuhuan was forced to retreat step by step until he had nowhere to retreat.
Mu Wuhuan: Someone come save me, I want to escape!
"Listen, I allow you to like me."
Mu Wuhuan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
"Why is my cousin here?"
Xiao Mingli was just sending Wen Yinzhi back to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Tunan talking to a man at the door of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Jiang Tunan also looked a little... wretched?
"Since Mr. Xiao is looking for you, I won't bother Miss Jiang."
Seeing that Jiang Tunan's attention had been diverted, Mu Wuhuan quickly seized the opportunity to speak, and then hurriedly left with his men without waiting for Jiang Tunan to answer.
Seeing Mu Wuhuan fleeing in a panic, Jiang Tunan smiled with relief: As expected, Pu Xin’s people are invincible.
"Who is that?"
Wen Yinzhi felt somewhat familiar when he saw Mu Wuhuan's face flash by.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the new champion Mu Wuhuan."
There were some other emotions in Xiao Mingli's eyes, like envy or regret, but they were quickly restrained.
"Really? I haven't paid attention to these things for a long time."
Wen Yinzhi didn't take this matter to heart. He was more concerned about the treatment method for Liangchuan Zemu's Gu disease.
"I have just carefully examined the eldest prince, and the pulse and symptoms I observed are consistent with the description of the Gu disease in the book. However, I still need to spend some time to look at the medical books left by my master to find out the treatment method."
Xiao Mingli comforted him,
"Now that we know the cause, it will be much easier as long as we find the right direction."
Wen Yinzhi nodded, said goodbye to Xiao Mingli, and rushed into the Imperial Medical Office full of energy.
Jiang Tunan was about to follow in, but was stopped by Xiao Mingli.
"Cousin, wait a moment."
Jiang Tunan looked back puzzled, only to see Xiao Mingli nervously taking out an exquisite little box from his arms.
"My cousin has been in the Xiao Mansion for a while now. As her brother, I should prepare a gift for her. I was busy with official duties at the Honglu Temple and neglected it before. I am making up for it today."
Xiao Mingli's eyes were full of sincerity, and he held the gift in front of Jiang Tunan with both hands.
"For me?"
Jiang Tunan did not reach out to take it immediately, because she really did not dare to take the male protagonist's things casually.
"You are the only cousin who has come to the Xiao Mansion, so naturally this is prepared for you."
Xiao Mingli smiled slightly, feeling a little nervous inside. Why did Jiang Tunan not look very happy?
Xiao Mingli opened the box, and what appeared in front of Jiang Tunan was a beautiful jade hairpin. The entire hairpin was carved from a single piece of jade.
"I heard that you really like the white jade bracelet that Mingrui gave you. I have already asked about it. The material of this jade hairpin is the same as that of Mingrui's bracelet. It is a perfect match for that bracelet."
The jade hairpin in front of me looks exactly like the white jade bracelet Xiao Mingrui gave me. Nanny Jin seemed to have said before that the best mutton-fat jade is worth dozens of taels... of gold.
No, are all the Xiao family members so rich? Xiao Huaimin wouldn't be greedy, would he?
"Cousin, don't you like this hairpin?"
Seeing that Jiang Tunan had not taken the box, Xiao Mingli felt a little disappointed. It turned out that he was still not very good at getting along with his sister.
"No, thank you, cousin Mingli, I like it very much."
Jiang Tunan quickly took it, closed the box with a snap, and held the box in his arms.
No matter what, one can't go against money. The male protagonist just gave a hairpin, and he said it was a gift for meeting.
As for the meeting gift, it's not just the male lead who gave it, everyone else gave it, so is there a problem? Of course there is no problem.
"nice! You love it."
Xiao Mingli felt relieved and immediately spoke as if he remembered something.
"After Qingming and before Guyu, my father will definitely take the whole family out for an outing. Cousin, remember to come along."
Jiang Tunan nodded in agreement, and Xiao Mingli immediately added,
"After Grain Rain, Imperial College will start classes. It was supposed to be around Qingming Festival, but it was postponed for a few days because of the imperial examination this year."
Jiang Tunan's smile froze on her face. She stood there in a daze. What the hell? Did this mean that she would be sent to a girls' school after being released from the Imperial Medical Bureau?
"Cousin, I have something else to do. I will go back to the Honglu Temple first. If you encounter any difficulties in the Imperial Medical Bureau, send someone to the Honglu Temple to find me."
Jiang Tunan saw Xiao Mingli off with a sad face, then returned to his residence dejectedly.
"Miss! You are finally back!"
Chunhua seemed to have seen a savior and ran quickly to Jiang Tunan.
"what happened?"
Chunhua was hesitant. Seeing Chunhua like this, Jiang Tunan had a bad feeling.
"Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise you will be punished to be a vegetarian for three days!"
Chunhua said in a panic,
"Miss, today I went out to buy your favorite roast duck, but later I found an unconscious child at the small gate of the Imperial Medical Bureau."
"You brought him back?"
Chunhua nodded guiltily.
"I felt sorry for him because he was so young, so I wanted to bring him in and give him something to eat. But...but when I went out to get the food, the child disappeared!"
Chunhua immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to confess her guilt.
"Please punish me, Miss!"
Jiang Tunan rubbed his temple. It would be no big deal if the child got lost outside, but if he got lost in the Imperial Medical Bureau and accidentally bumped into someone in the palace, he would be dead.
At the same time, in the alley outside the Imperial Medical Bureau, Yu Niang came back with wounds all over her body, holding cakes and silver in her arms. When she saw the empty corner, her pupils trembled.
