Chapter 536 Without You(1/2)
When they woke up the next day, neither of them mentioned what happened last night, as if nothing had happened.
"lady……"
When Jiang Tang walked into the kitchen, the servants helping the cook were surprised.
She looked at the medicine boiling on the small stove and frowned slightly.
Today, the magistrate of Wanping County came to visit, and Xiao Yinhan went to meet someone, so she finally found time to come to the kitchen.
"Madam, I'll come, I'll come."
Seeing Jiang Tang actually trying to get the medicine pot, the maid beside her turned pale with fright.
The master's cruelty was still fresh in his memory, but no one dared to let his wife take action for fear of losing their lives.
Even because of the guest's visit yesterday, even more frightening news came from the backyard - the master may be a prince!
Seeing the little girl's pale face, Jiang Tang let her go and let her do it.
The medicine bowl was placed on the tray. It was dark and exuded a strong bitter smell. Jiang Tang frowned even more as he looked at it.
Because she knows better than anyone else that this medicine has no effect on Xiao Yinhan.
But if the system can't do anything, who can...
"Let's go."
Realizing that his mood was sinking, Jiang Tang forcibly blocked his thoughts and walked towards the courtyard with his maid.
Before he left, he said he would come back after meeting him. He should be in the house now. After walking all the way, the medicine is almost ready to be taken...
While thinking in confusion, Jiang Tang returned to the courtyard and received a piece of news:
The master is still seeing guests.
"I understand, go down."
Jiang Tang pursed his lips and sent the servant out.
She sat at the table, looked at the carved mahogany food box in front of her, and suddenly said: "Are you bluffing me? There must be medicine that can save him, right?"
System: [No. If this medicine really exists, the system will not hide it. 】
The tone of the system is different from the lively tone in the past, and is very calm.
The calmness made Jiang Tang's heart sink.
The thin white fingers clenched unconsciously: "Then how long can he live? I mean...according to the current situation."
System: [According to the male protagonist's current physical condition, if he is willing to drink medicine on time and learn to go to bed early and get up early to maintain health and exercise, he can probably live for fifteen years. ]
"Stop bluffing me!"
Jiang Tang's voice suddenly rose higher, and then he sneered: "Are you trying to tell me that his life is shorter now than in the original novel?"
In the original work, Xiao Yinhan suffered a lot more injuries from various assassinations than now, as well as life and death from relatives and friends. In this case, he lived to be 38 years old, and now he tells her that he only has 15 years left?
Almost immediately, Jiang Tang guessed that the system was lying to him.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sigh, the system would have wanted to sigh for Jiang Tang.
[But in the original work, the male protagonist never used his own blood to resurrect the host.]
The system's words made the sneer on Jiang Tang's lips seem to be frozen by something.
"What?"
[The host has always resisted knowing the news about the male protagonist, so I have never seen it. Now that I have time, I will take a look. 】
As she spoke, a memory that did not belong to her emerged in Jiang Tang's mind...
I saw in the picture a man in a state of embarrassment and with a crazy expression, expressionlessly slashing his wrists again and again, bleeding out, and offering corpses...
Jiang Tang's heart seemed to be grabbed hard by invisible claws, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
She knew he was paranoid and stubborn, but...
[The Xueyi tribe’s bloodline is very special and can detoxify hundreds of poisons. According to legend, it can also bring people back to life. But similarly, every bloodletting will cause great harm to the body. In the original work, the male protagonist did suffer a lot of injuries, and they were also very serious.
, but no matter how serious it is, it can't be worth the bloodletting he has to do day by day. Yesterday, the imperial doctor said that the loss was serious, but it was actually an understatement. His real situation was even more serious. He was able to live for fifteen years because he had a good foundation and a male.
The Lord has been nourished with various precious medicinal materials since he was a child. If it were an ordinary person, it would be considered amazing to live for 5 years.】
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the system's tone seemed a bit sarcastic.
Jiang Tang had no intention of pursuing it, she just thought of the original work again.
No matter how hard she tries, she always ends up with the same goal in the end...
Even because of her "efforts", he may be further away from death than in the original work.
A crisp sound of "Crack-" came from the room, and the maid guarding the door was shocked: "Madam, what happened?"
Jiang Tang slowly looked at the fragments of the water glass that he had thrown down on the ground, and the depression in his heart did not dissipate at all.
"It's okay, I accidentally broke the cup. Come in and clean it up."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the room opened from the outside.
The maid in green clothes rushed in. She was stunned when she saw the debris on the ground, and her eyes quickly fell on Jiang Tang: "Is Madam injured?"
Jiang Tang tightened her grip on the back of her hand, which was a bit stinging. If nothing unexpected happened when the debris flew just now, the back of her hand should have been scratched.
"It's okay, you can clean up first. Has the master come back?"
When the maid heard Jiang Tang say it was okay, she just squatted down to pick up the larger pieces. When she heard this, she stopped and said, "As for Madam, the master has not come back yet."
Not back yet...
Jiang Tang's brows really wrinkled this time. She looked at the food box in front of her. How long has it been? If she doesn't come back, the medicine will be cold.
"I'm going to take a look, you don't have to follow me."
After saying these words, she stood up and walked out, her frowning brows not loosening at all as she walked.
"Madam, the master is still seeing guests."
Seeing Jiang Tang approaching, the housekeeper at the door hurriedly walked up to greet him.
Even if they already knew Xiao Yinhan's identity, as long as the master didn't tell him, the servants could only pretend they didn't know.
For this reason, the "smart" butler specially gathered the servants who knew about it last night to give a warning.
It's just that he didn't expect that what he did last night would be in vain when the county magistrate came to the door in fear today.
Who could have imagined how the genius Meng Mengliang would feel when the concierge woke him up and said that the county magistrate and his men were guarding the door of the house.
At that time, the housekeeper thought that his ears had heard wrongly.
He hurriedly got dressed and went out to meet the guests. He was so flustered that he realized he had no shoes on halfway and ran back to put on shoes.
However, I was still confused about this person coming so early.
Wanping County is just a county magistrate, and the county magistrate is the largest official in the county. Housekeepers do not dare to neglect the county magistrate.
The attitude of the county magistrate was not generally good. When he learned that the "master" was still sleeping, he directly said that there was no need to disturb him. It was because he came too early and he could wait.
It's just that the housekeeper dares to let people wait at the door. The weather is a bit cold now.
He had no choice but to invite people into the house first, and then send people to... to guard outside the master's yard.
No one dared to wake up the master. After all, the "prince" had been sitting on the bench all afternoon yesterday. It was just the words of the county magistrate...
Fortunately, the county magistrate had a very good temper. He was not impatient at all until the sun was up, and he chatted with the housekeeper very warmly, saying that if there was any need for help in the house, he could be contacted.
Although the housekeeper is capable, he was always frightened when he was told this by an official.
At the same time, I am increasingly worried that it will be the same as yesterday...
Fortunately, today's master is particularly easy to talk to. When he heard that the county magistrate was coming, he agreed to meet.
"Aren't you done talking yet?"
The housekeeper couldn't stop Jiang Tang from saying this. As a servant, how could he know the situation of his master and the county magistrate?
"Not yet, I've already changed two tea courses." The butler said truthfully.
"I see."
Jiang Tang walked up to the hall, and the maid behind him was holding the food box she had prepared.
"I have met the county magistrate."
A soft and touching female voice suddenly sounded, and the county magistrate, who had vaguely heard Jiang Tang's identity, stood up from his stool almost immediately:
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, madam, you're too polite."
The county magistrate's dog-legged behavior shocked the housekeeper who followed him in.
"Why did you come here? Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the room?"
Xiao Yinhan said that the man had already stood up and walked towards the girl.
The county magistrate on the side was slightly shocked when he saw this scene.
To be continued...
