Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

"Someone come quickly, Sir Jiang fell into the lake …"    

"Hurry up and go save them, what are you all still standing there for …"    

"..."    

The boat was in a state of chaos, and the dancers were dancing with pale faces and disorderly steps. After a while, they fell to the ground in a heap and kept screaming at the top of their lungs. The guards on the boat ran in and out nervously, carrying swords and protective equipment, as if they were assassins trying to assassinate them.    

Wang Da comforted Little Phoenix Fairy and Peony, and when he saw the actions of these guards, he rolled his eyes in disdain. He felt that these guards were probably the same as their master, useless trash that only knew how to eat.    

With a 'pu tong' sound, the guards finally reacted and jumped down one after another to save him.    

Jiang Changhua could not swim and was drunk. Once he fell into the lake, he choked and drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then, relying on his instinct to survive, he kept paddling his hands and feet, but he could not do it. He floated up and sank again, looking to be in a very sorry state.    

"Lord, Lord, where are you?" The guards all jumped down like a swarm of bees, squeezed together in a black mass. Under the dim light, they could not find any trace of Jiang Changhua.    

"My lord, where is my lord?" "Where is the lord?" The guard shouted while diving to see if Jiang Changhua had sunk into the water.    

Hearing their voices, Jiang Changhua wanted to open his mouth to call out to them, but just as he opened his mouth, a few mouthfuls of water flowed into his mouth, making him choke to the point that his nose snot started to come out. He kept trying to swim upstream, but he felt as if something had caught his leg, and that thing was even pulling him down.    

He kicked and struggled for a while, then finally exhausted his strength and let himself sink.    

Peony covered her face with a handkerchief and pretended to cry for a while. When Xiao Feng Xian wasn't paying attention, she quickly ran to the stern of the boat. When Wei You saw that she had left, he quickly used a stone to hit Wang Da.    

Wang Da wrinkled his nose at him, turned around and pretended to twist his leg, then threw Xiao Feng Xian onto the ground and started to howl exaggeratedly, causing Xiao Feng Xian to be so scared that she did not even dare move.    

Peony ran to the stern of the boat and saw Jiang Changhua floating on the lake like a corpse. She took a deep breath and looked around.    

She swam to Jiang Changhua's side and supported him, punching him in the abdomen. Seeing him vomit like a dead pig, pushing him away disdainfully, seeing him sink like a stone, swimming over, pulling him up, brewing her feelings, she shouted at him, "Someone come, someone come quickly, I've found an adult, an adult is about to die …"    

Hearing her shout, the originally headless crowd immediately rushed over and hurriedly rescued them from the boat.    

"Hurry up and call the doctor, go quickly …" The moment Peony got on the ship, she anxiously screamed, and had even hugged Jiang Changhua all the while, pressing on his chest non-stop, wanting to push the water he drank into out.    

Seeing her expression, everyone felt that she was truly in love with Jiang Changhua and could not help but listen to her commands.    

On a medium-sized pleasure boat not far away, Mu Chen was dressed in all white, with his hands behind his back, as he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Jiang Changhua's direction. Suddenly, the sound of water splashing could be heard from below the boat, Wei Zuo crawled out from the lake and used a movement technique to get on the boat.    

"Master, we've got it." He respectfully stretched out his hand and a small seal was placed on his palm.    

Mu Chen turned his head, bent down and picked up the seal from his hands, looking at the words carved on the bottom, he said: "Peony snuck in?"    

Wei Zuo thought for a while, then said: "Jiang Changhua should be bringing her back home."    

"Very good." Mu Chen pursed his lips and smiled, he then turned his head to look in that direction, "When Wei You returns, we can discuss our next plans."    

"Yes." Wei Zuo nodded respectfully, stood up and entered the cabin, then changed into a clean set of clothes and came out after a while.    

Mu Chen was still standing at the stern of the boat, gazing at the distant mountains which were faintly discernible under the night sky. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he asked, "Madam, have you written a letter recently?"    

When Wei Zuo heard this, he wanted to laugh, but he still replied respectfully: "Reporting to Master, a few days ago, we just received a letter from Madam."    

It has only been five days, since when did I become so impatient?    

Wei Zuo held back his laughter and stood quietly at the side, pretending to watch over Wei You.    

Mu Chen's brows twitched, and he turned to glance at Wei Zuo. "You seem to be very free? Have you investigated the pirates thoroughly? "    

Wei Zuo was looking at the scenery leisurely, rejoicing that he did not choose Wei You as his job. Not only did he have to follow the foolish Wang Da, but he also had to go to a beautiful place like a willow alley. When he heard the voice, which was as cold as melting snow in February, his entire body shuddered.    

Mu Chen watched his figure disappear from the deck and frowned. He turned his head and continued to look at the scenery in the distance, thinking to himself, "The Jiang City scenery is pretty good, if there's a chance to come back in the future, he would bring Shen Jingli and the children to have a fun together."    

As he thought of Shen Jingli and Xun Er, a hint of warmth surfaced in Mu Chen's eyes.    

"..."    

On this April night, the weather was still cold. Jiang Changhua had been soaking in the water for a long time and had caught a cold, so in order to obtain his good impression, Peony took care of him.    

Jiang Changhua was very moved, he felt that Peony was a good woman, and when he found out that he was saved by Peony after falling into the water, he felt that Peony truly loved him, and in his excitement, he took her back and became his fifth concubine.    

When Jiang Changhua woke up in the evening, his mind was blank as he looked at the furnishings in the room.    

Peony pushed the door open and entered. When she saw that he was awake, she said, "Master, you're awake. Hurry and get up. Drink the medicine."    

She was wearing a pink dress and had a woman's bun tied around her head. Jiang Changhua looked at her for a long time before realizing that she was in her own home. As for Peony, she had been carried over in a sedan by him two days ago and became his fifth concubine.    

Seeing the peony's graceful appearance, Jiang Changhua's heart immediately felt itchy. If not for his body being unwell, he would have already pounced on her and dragged her onto the bed.    

Peony placed the herb tray on the table, picked up the medicine bowl, and walked to the side of the bed to sit down.    

"Master, hurry up and drink the medicine."    

Jiang Changhua looked at her meticulous look, and like a puppet, he opened his mouth and drank the medicine sent into his mouth.    

A bowl of medicine was soon finished. Peony took the handkerchief and wiped the medicinal juice off the corner of his mouth, then she took a candied honey and stuffed it into his mouth. With a charming smile, she said, "The medicine is bitter. Eat the candied fruit to taste."    

Jiang Changhua's eyes were glued to her body. He had only put on a bit of makeup today, and wore a silk dress that covered her body, but her posture was still seductive. It made Jiang Changhua's heart flutter, and he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.    

"Aiyo …" Peony snorted and glared at him. She picked up a handkerchief from her chest and waved it at his face.    

Jiang Changhua suddenly grabbed her hand, pulled her handkerchief over, and sniffed it, then salivated: "Aiya, it smells so good!"    

Peony lowered her head bashfully, but inside she was laughing.    

Seeing her like this, Jiang Changhua wanted to pull her onto the bed to have some warmth, but he felt that his head was spinning and his body was swaying, falling back and forth onto the pillow.    

When Peony saw him, she hurriedly covered him with the blanket and said, "I'm afraid that the medicinal effects of the pill have taken effect. My lord, please get a good night's sleep. You'll wake up tomorrow and your illness will be cured."    

Jiang Changhua did not suspect anything and just nodded his head, then fainted.    

Seeing this, Peony couldn't be at ease. She pinched his nose to make sure he was asleep before she started rummaging through the room, especially the books. She flipped through the pages one by one, even the bookshelves behind her.    

"Fifth Madame, has Master finished his medicine?"    

The voice of the maidservant came from outside, scaring Peony to the point of her being frightened. She accidentally knocked the book off the table, hurriedly picked it up and put it back in place, then carefully pulled at her clothes, tidying her makeup, and only then carried the bowl out.    

"Master has finished drinking the medicine and has already gone to sleep." Peony said.    

"If that's the case, then Fifth Madame, please return to your own courtyard." Madam said that the Fifth Madame could not stay in Master's room for the night. " maidservant said arrogantly, her eyes seemed to grow on top of her head, looking down on the peony.    

Peony wasn't annoyed. She politely nodded her head and said, "I'll be going back now. Spring Flower, you have to take good care of the old master."    

"There's no need for you to tell me that. This servant will take good care of old master." Spring Flower snorted, opened the door and went inside, as if she didn't even spare Peony a glance.    

Peony stood in the doorway for a moment, then heard her swearing in the room, "What the hell. "Isn't it just a little wave of hooves coming from a flowerbed? You think you're better than anyone else just because you're carrying your aunt …"    

Peony smiled disapprovingly as she carried the bowl back to her own courtyard. With the Jiang manor's current condition, perhaps it would be better for her to live comfortably in a flowerbed. If she didn't want to leave that filthy place as soon as possible and reunite with her younger brother and sister, she wouldn't even bother entering the manor.    

She harrumphed in her heart, thinking back to when she did not find anything in Jiang Changhua's room. She could not help but worry, where did Jiang Changhua put the letters that he sent over to?    

She crossed the catwalk and was about to step into the backyard when she heard a rustling sound. She stopped abruptly, drew her feet back, and leaned against the wooden wall next to the circular arch.    

"You damned bastard, why did you only arrive today? "You don't miss me at all …"    

Peony, hearing a woman's voice, thought it sounded familiar, and when she thought about it, her eyes widened in surprise.
