Chapter 17
When Su Mei woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She opened her eyes and found that she was lying on the familiar Arhat bed. She was so excited that she almost jumped up from the bed. Her first reaction was to get out of bed and apologize to Jiang Ling.

Last night Jiang Ling asked her to reflect, and she fell asleep without knowing it.

Seeing Su Mei getting out of bed, Jiang Ling raised her eyes and said, "Don't move around."

His tone was a little impatient, and there seemed to be two blue shadows in his eyes. Su Mei slept on his bed last night, and he dealt with the military affairs at the desk all night. By the way, he covered Su Mei with a quilt. Looking at Su Mei, she rubbed her sore and swollen temples to relieve her tiredness from a sleepless night.

Sure enough, just now Su Mei got up too hastily, and there was a sharp pain in her ankle, she frowned in pain, Jiang Ling walked to the bed, frowned and said to Su Mei, "Let me see your injury."

Su Mei was stunned, Jiang Ling said patiently: "I woke you up last night, but you fell asleep. I gave you the medicine last night. Do you still have to be so coy?"

Su Mei lowered her head and hummed, she lifted her skirt to reveal her ankles, her face was flushed, Jiang Ling glanced at the injuries on her ankles, nodded slightly and said, "It's recovering well, it's not as red and swollen as it was yesterday."

Jiang Ling sat on the twig beside her, and applied medicine for her. Seeing that Su Mei's face was flushed, she slightly curled the corners of her lips, and said with a half-smile, "Today, I am well-behaved and obedient."

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she looked up at Su Mei again, "Does it still hurt?"

Su Mei seems to be very afraid of pain. They were in the carriage last night, she kept frowning, her eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes, but now Su Mei gritted her teeth, shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. gone."

The strength in Jiang Ling's hands increased a little, Su Mei snorted softly in pain, tears rolled down her eyes, Jiang Ling smiled and said: "Have you learned to lie yet?" Frown, how can I hide it from him.

"Speak out if it hurts. As I said, you don't have to be brave."

"Su Mei would like to obey the Lord's order." After Jiang Ling finished applying the medicine for her, Su Mei couldn't wait to shrink her bare feet back, for fear that Jiang Ling would make people blush like yesterday in the carriage. , and hastily lowered the hem of the skirt to cover the small toes, and breathed a sigh of relief like a guilty conscience.

From Jiang Ling's point of view, Su Mei is indeed a bit delicate, timid and afraid of pain, like a piece of exquisite and fragile porcelain, which seems to break if touched, and needs to be carefully cared for.

Su Mei nodded obediently, and replied angrily: "It hurts."

The watery mist in those loving peach blossom eyes, and the delicate sound of pain, Jiang Ling suppressed the emotions for many years, and the high wall he built in his heart over the years collapsed in an instant. Acting like a baby, Jiang Ling quickly looked away from Su Mei.

His face turned cold, he got up quickly, coughed lightly and said, "Well, you sprained your ankle and it's inconvenient to walk, so just stay here for a few days."

Do you still want to go back to Anlefang?He thought that Jiang Ling would keep her when he brought her back to Jiangfu yesterday.

Su Mei felt a little disappointed, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Su Mei is a humble singing girl, she has bothered you many times these days, and when Su Mei recovers from her injury, she will leave here and return to her place of business. back to the place."

"You still want to go back to Anlefang? After what happened yesterday, you still want to go back to the wolf's den in the tiger's den?" Jiang Ling punched the table, extremely annoyed.

Qin Zhen came from a noble family, and the Qin family is a family of officials. Even if Grand Master Qin fell, the credit of the Qin family in the past is still there. He originally wanted Tai Shi Qin and his son to be punished as they should, but if the disaster is not as good as his family, he will also Find a way to protect the rest of the Qin family, and personally ask Jinshang to forgive the Qin family.

Qin Zhen is his sweetheart that he regards as a treasure. Even if she loses her memory, she can't say that about herself.

Seeing Jiang Ling getting angry, Su Mei was startled, she knelt down in front of Jiang Ling in fright, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, and sobbed, "The general knows that Su Mei is the singer of Anlefang. My life is in the hands of others, so what can I do? Su Mei is grateful for the general's pity, even if Su Mei doesn't want to, she can only go back to that place."

Didn't he let himself recover from his injury and then leave quickly?Where else could she go besides An Le Fang? She was injured and lost her memory. She was afraid of pain and cherished her life. There was only one time to stab herself with a hairpin like that.

If what happened yesterday happened again, she might never have that kind of courage again.

The body deed reminded Jiang Ling that although Su Mei's name was fake, the body deed was also fake, but now that someone wants to harm Qin Zhen, it is better to use Su Mei's name and identity.

"The general can consider buying you and let you stay with the general in the future and let you serve him personally. Would you like to?"

What is the meaning of personal service, how could Su Mei not know, she blushed, during the month she came to Anle Fang, the things about men and women taught her by Nanny Li, and the unsightly things in the booklet of avoiding fire How could she not understand the picture.

But she has no choice, maybe if she misses this opportunity, she can only stay in Anlefang and become the plaything of those rich merchants in Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, Su Mei said firmly: "Su Mei is willing, I am willing to serve the general as a slave and handmaid."

Serving as a substitute, she laughed at herself. After all, she still took advantage of this face to stay by Jiang Ling's side. From today onwards, she will be a good substitute, Su Mei secretly made up her mind.

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, "Very good, you don't have to go back to Anlefang from today on."

After he finished speaking, he frowned again, "Get up, don't kneel down, take good care of your wounds here these few days, only when your wounds are healed can you serve him personally, and this general doesn't like you kneeling every now and then. "

Su Mei had no choice but to do as she said, "Will the general take Su Mei back to the capital? Su Mei wants to follow the general to the capital."

Jiang Ling sneered and said, "This general bought you for 1 taels. It's good for you. Instead of spending time learning how to serve others, you should first learn to ask this general for conditions."

Su Mei lowered her head, her face turned pale, and twisted the handkerchief in her hand. That's right. Just now, Jiang Ling only said to let her stay by her side. Listening to her tone, she intended to be like those high-ranking dignitaries who live in outhouses. It may be too much for the outer room to put forward such a condition.

But she must follow Jiang Ling to the capital, maybe she can get back her lost memories and family, and this is her only chance.

Jiang Ling glanced at Su Mei, and seeing that she looked resentful, she said, "Let's see your performance."

Su Mei's face turned red, and she said, "Thank you, General, Su Mei."

"From today onwards, you can live here with peace of mind. I don't have any servants in my house. I will send someone to bring the gold chain to serve you. If you need anything, I will buy it for you." Jiang Ling After speaking, he strode out.

After leaving the house, Jiang Ling took a deep breath, went to the study, called Mu Feng to her, and asked, "Have you found that old couple?"

Mu Feng cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate is about to report back to the general. Our people found the old couple in the ruined temple outside the city, but our people were still one step too late. The old couple were killed by thieves. Already out of breath."

Jiang Ling frowned, "Dead? Have you ever checked the scene of the accident?"

Mu Feng nodded and said: "I didn't find anything suspicious. The subordinate sent someone to report the case to Jingzhao Mansion. The governor sent someone to investigate. He only said that the thief robbed the money. The old couple did not cooperate with the thief. If you donate property, you will be killed."

A poor old couple, where did they get their belongings? I'm afraid that the death of the old couple is related to Qin Zhen's amnesia.

The old couple is dead, the clues have been broken, I'd better wait until I return to the capital to investigate this matter slowly.
