"What's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on. That silly girl has been standing outside. She doesn't answer when I talk to her. I originally thought she was waiting for someone outside, but when I heard the sound and went out to see her, I found that she had passed out. I also I don’t know what to do, so I have to inform sir.”

The concierge is quite old and he is honest.

After Jiang Ling heard this, he did not hesitate and ran out of the gate in the rain.

The concierge yelled and chased him: "Sir, please hold an umbrella, it won't be good for you if you get caught in the rain."

Arriving at the door,

Jiang Lingguo saw He Xiang lying on the ground in the corner, shrinking his body, and he had long lost consciousness.

His face was pale, his whole body was cold, and he curled up like an abandoned kitten.

"Lotus fragrance?"

Jiang Ling called her, but she couldn't answer.

After touching her, she still had some consciousness and moved slightly.

Jiang Ling frowned, quickly picked her up and carried her inside.

The concierge followed quickly, holding an umbrella with him.

"Uncle, can you help me boil some water?"

"sure."

There is still a mother-in-law in the house, and Jiang Ling is an honored guest who the old lady has personally told him to entertain well. Since he has given orders, of course he must obey them.

The concierge accompanied him for a while and then ran to ask the mother-in-law to boil water and prepare ginger soup.

After Jiang Ling carried Hexiang back to the room, he sighed, took off all the wet clothes on her body, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

Then help rub her hands and feet to warm her up a little.

After a while, the concierge brought a bowl of ginger soup from the kitchen and placed it on the table.

After taking a look at He Xiang's condition from afar, he also sighed.

Then he said: "If you want to punish her, sir, you shouldn't let her be exposed to the rain like this. This girl is weak and I don't know if she can hold on."

Jiang Ling felt confused: "Should I punish her?"

The concierge said: "If Mr. hadn't punished her, how could she have stood outside so stupidly and refused to come in or answer? Fortunately, I just heard the noise. If I had discovered it later, this girl would have been..."

It turned out that, in his opinion, the lotus fragrance was promised to Jiangling by the old lady.

Those are the people from Gangneung.

Only if Jiangling wanted to punish He Xiang, He Xiang would do so.

Because of this conjecture, after seeing He Xiang fainting, he, the concierge, did not make any decisions, but came to inform him of the situation first.

At this time, seeing that Jiang Ling was still willing to save her, he spoke out what was in his heart.

Jiang Ling said: "I have never punished her. It's just that she went to the Yamen to register in the afternoon, and she is already a good citizen. I gave her some money and asked her to go find relatives and friends. Unexpectedly, she stayed standing stupidly. Not leaving yet."

"Looking for relatives and friends?"

The concierge shook his head and sighed: "This girl doesn't have any relatives or friends. The two sisters were born at home. Their parents died early due to illness. Later, her sister..."

Speaking of this, I remembered the taboo, shook my head slightly, and said: "Sir, this girl has no relatives outside."

After saying that, he went out to get hot water.

Jiang Ling grabbed He Xiang's hand and rubbed it for a while. She seemed to feel a little warm under the quilt.

People are gradually gaining consciousness,

Although those eyes have not been opened yet, tears are already flowing from the corners of them.

After the concierge brought the hot water, he closed the door for Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling adjusted the temperature of the water, took her off the bed, and placed her in the water to warm her.

After a while, He Xiang finally had some color on his face.

People gradually woke up.

Jiang Ling was standing guard by the side. When he saw this, he brought ginger soup.

When Hexiang saw him and the furnishings in the room, she was at a loss for a moment.

Jiang Ling patted her forehead lightly and said, "Don't move, it's still soaking. Drink this bowl of ginger soup first."

He Xiang kept looking at him with her moist eyes open, and she behaved well, as long as he fed her, she would drink.

After finishing the ginger soup, Jiang Ling said to her again: "Why are you so stupid? You know it's raining, but you're still standing outside getting wet?"

It was okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, tears welled up in Hexiang's eyes again.

She just lowered her head and said nothing.

Jiang Ling smiled and said: "What's wrong? A good person has become mute?"

"gentlemen……"

He Xiang was silent for a long time, and her dry throat finally opened her mouth.

The man also raised his head, but his voice became choked: "I don't know where I'm going..."

What she said about her wish in the carriage in the morning was actually unintentional.

In fact, everyone who works as a maid or a slave has the desire to get rid of the slave status.

But a wish is a wish,

When the day comes for it to be realized, they will feel a sense of hesitation and loneliness in their hearts.

Hexiang has been working as a maid in the mansion for her master since she was a child.

Everything you know is how to serve others.

And over the years, this kind of life has long become a habit.

This suddenly wants to restore her good status,

It was like severing her ties with the past.

At this time, she became a lost child, standing on the cross street, full of confusion, hesitation, and fear of the unknown future.

She originally thought that after she got rid of her slave status, she would follow Jiang Ling. At least, that's what the old lady said.

In this way, it can be considered a good destination.

But who would have expected that after Jiang Ling read her ultimatum, he actually returned it to her and gave her a sum of money.

At that time, she panicked.

So, she didn't dare to pick it up.

She was afraid that if she took it, she would become an outcast.

But Jiang Ling finally thrust the document and banknotes into her hands.

At that moment, she felt that her world was about to collapse.

Inside, I was filled with confusion and uncertainty about the future.

Seeing Jiang Ling enter the Duan Mansion, she didn't dare to follow him. Because she was already a good citizen, so why should she enter again?

I can only stand outside stupidly,

Even though it started to rain, she didn't move at all. The world was so big and there seemed to be no place to belong to at this time.

"Are you hungry?"

Jiang Ling put down the bowl of ginger soup and asked her softly.

Hexiang nodded first, then shook her head.

"What happened in the afternoon was due to my lack of careful consideration. It's my fault."

Jiang Ling apologized and called the concierge to prepare some food.

The concierge was very considerate. He probably grew up watching the lotus fragrance and couldn't bear it. So after bringing the hot water, he cooked some millet porridge and brought it over.

Jiang Ling took the pure rice porridge and fed her again.

He Xiang did not dare to accept it and kept shaking her head.

Jiang Ling demanded domineeringly: "Be obedient, eat something, and don't move around."

I fed her spoonfuls, but she finally obeyed and ate it all.

After she finished eating, she didn't know whether she was sleepy or tired. Her eyelids were as heavy as a stone, and she blinked and couldn't hold on any longer.

Jiang Ling took her out of the water, wiped her body, put on her own clothes and put her into the quilt.
