Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming ca out of the house with the doctor. Yang Ming wanted to see the doctor off, but Xiaoxiao stopped him, "Let’s wait a bit longer to go back, we’ll have the doctor check on Sister Wang’s condition after we finish up."
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao exchanged glances, both smiling sheepishly; they decided to take the old doctor out for a walk instead.
As they reached the gate, the two unfamiliar n got down from the carriage.
Only then did Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming rember the existence of these two n. Who exactly were they, and why had they brought Wang Xiangxiang back? With this question in mind, Yang Ming asked.
"I apologize for not asking earlier, may I know if you are friends of Miss Wang?"
The gentleman politely clasped his hands in a traditional gesture of respect and then said, "My na is Han Yongsheng, from Lin County. I do not know the lady in question, but happened to pass by and saw her being bullied by so ruffians, so I stepped in to rescue her."
As soon as they heard he was Wang Xiangxiang’s savior, Xiaoxiao imdiately asked, "Do you know if Sister Wang was actually bullied?"
This was her most pressing concern; she needed to know the specifics.
Asked this question, Han Yongsheng replied sowhat embarrassedly, "When we arrived, her clothes had been removed, but she did not seem to have been molested; it’s possible they were waiting for the aphrodisiac to take effect."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao clutched her chest and hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Wang Xiangxiang had not been violated by those scoundrels. But the current situation was still bad; if she woke up and thought Chu Lian had taken advantage of her, who knows what could happen?
After all, she had asked Wang Xiangxiang before, and she said there was no chance between the two of them.
"Who were those people, do you know?" Xiaoxiao continued to inquire about the details.
"I’m not very sure, they seed to be just local thugs and rogues, but it looked preditated, seeing as there was a tree blocking the road."
So those people were targeting Wang Xiangxiang, but why would they treat a woman in such a way? Could it be that Wang Xiangxiang had offended soone?
Just as Xiaoxiao was about to ask more, Yang Ming stopped her, "Young Master Han, my wife can be a bit talkative. Please excuse us if we have been impolite just now."
Han Yongsheng waved his hand, "It’s no trouble."
Yang Ming led the way to the main house, saying, "I do hope you will co in for so warm tea."
Han Yongsheng followed Yang Ming and was just about to enter the yard when they heard voices coming from inside once more.
The situation made everyone suprely uncomfortable. Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Um... er... Will you please excuse us, Young Master Han, there’s nothing we can do about this."
Han Yongsheng replied awkwardly, "I understand, saving soone is of the utmost importance."
Xiaoxiao looked at this Young Master Han, a handso and talented figure, with looks not inferior to Chu Lian’s, and his deanor was also very elegant. Clearly, he was from a well-off family in Lin County.
She thought to herself, just as I expected, there’s no need for Wang Xiangxiang to hang herself up on soone from our county—there are plenty of good young n from other counties, and look, here’s one now.
"Let’s quickly go inside."
Han Yongsheng waved his hand, saying, "There’s no need to go inside just yet, let’s talk about the important matters first."
At these words, a look of surprise flashed in Yang Ming’s eyes. It seed he was not here simply to deliver Miss Wang, "May I ask what brings Young Master Han to our humble residence?"
"Isn’t your family digging a pond?"
