How could he not know what Xie Ning meant? She wanted to save this man. He could see it with a single glance. It wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but this man's identity was still unknown. He appeared here with injuries all over his body. Who knew if it was a trap? If he saved him and brought him back, he would get into trouble. What should he do?
However, this daughter of his had the mentality that everyone in the world was a good person. She always thought of everyone in a good direction. He really did not know how to persuade her.
Xie Chengzhang thought that Xie Ning would let it go, but who knew that not only did the slender hand on the hem of her clothes not loosen, it even tightened its grip. Xie Chengzhang raised his head and met Xie Ning's eyes, which were ready to fight to the end. He couldn't help but say angrily," Ah Ning!"
How could Xie Ning let it go just like that? Let's not talk about whether she was like this because of the man's good looks. Xie Junjun's life principle was to save the dying and heal the wounded. Now that she had encountered a patient who had fainted on the ground, covered in injuries, and was on the verge of death, she would never be able to live with her conscience if she had to stand by and do nothing.
"Father, you have taught your daughter to do things with a clear conscience since she was young. Ah Ning knows your concerns, but now that there's no one in this desolate place, we'll leave him here like this. He's still bleeding. What if he bleeds to death in the end or is attacked by a ferocious bird? Father, do you think our Xie family will be afraid of an injured person like him?"
The personal maid, Ling Long, was also influenced by Xie Ning. She had a heart that liked to save people. She couldn't bear to persuade him." General, what the young lady said is very reasonable. Please agree to the young lady's request."
Xie Chengzhang knew that he couldn't persuade Xie Ning, so he couldn't be bothered to persist. Xie Ning was right. He didn't believe that this mysterious man could cause a ruckus in his Xie residence.
Helpless, Xie Chengzhang really couldn't do anything to his daughter. He waved his hand." You guys go and take him to the carriage at the back. Stop the bleeding first."
With that, Xie Chengzhang turned around and returned to his carriage with the help of the guards.
Xie Ning saw that Xie Chengzhang was relieved, and her face lit up with joy. She quickly ordered the guards to bring the man into the carriage. When the guards carried the man and passed her, Xie Ning suddenly noticed a jade pendant on the man's waist.
The jade pendant was bright and the material was of the highest quality. Xie Ning was the daughter of a family of generals, so she had naturally seen many precious jades and jewelry. She could tell which was real and which was fake. As for the item on this man's waist, it was not only real, but it was also a precious item that even she had never seen before.
He looked at the man's clothes again. There were no accessories. He was dressed in black. Although it was simple, one could see that he was gorgeous if one looked closely at the patterns and lines on the black clothes.
Perhaps he was from a noble family.
Xie Ning was usually a carefree person. She didn't like to think too deeply about things, so she took a few more glances and retracted her gaze. She didn't take this matter to heart.
She got back on the horse and walked for a while. Suddenly, she stopped and said to Exquisite, who was behind her," Exquisite, go to the back of the carriage and keep an eye on him. If he wakes up, don't let him escape."
It wasn't easy for her to catch a handsome young master. She couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain just like that. In the end, she had saved him and could be considered his half-savior.
Ling Long had seen through Xie Ning's thoughts and was secretly laughing in her heart. She bowed and retreated to the last carriage.
The sky gradually darkened. They walked all the way and finally passed through the dense forest before the sun set. Xie Ning walked in front and looked at the carriage at the back from time to time. She didn't know what she was looking forward to, but it was strange that the carriage at the back didn't move at all. It was very quiet.
After about an hour, the group of carriages entered Xiang City's territory. Xie Ning looked at this familiar place, and her entire body and mind were very happy. In the blink of an eye, she completely forgot about the person in the carriage at the back.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the carriage entered a wide and long street. Shops and peddlers crowded on both sides of the road. Floating lanterns were hung all over the eaves, illuminating the entire street. It was bustling with activity.
Xie Ning was riding a horse and driving the carriage behind her. When the pedestrians on the road saw Xie Ning, some of them quickly made way for her. Some of them gathered together and pointed at her, talking about something. Some of them even turned pale when they saw Xie Ning.
However, when some women saw Xie Ning, they kept praising her." Xie Junjun, you're back. Your dress is really beautiful today."
Someone in the crowd casually said something. Xie Ning heard it and smiled at the crowd." You have good taste. I'll go to Bangui Shop in two days and tell the boss to let him go to Shangxin."
When those women and young ladies heard this, they were extremely happy, and their praises came wave after wave.
This Bangui Shop was a famous shop in Xiang City that sold rouge, makeup, and mother-of-pearl clothing. It could be said to be a paradise for women and young ladies. As long as the goods inside were out, they would definitely be of the best quality. The women in Xiang City would definitely fight to buy them.
Xie Ning continued to ride her horse to the south of the city. When she passed by a pastry shop, Xie Ning stopped. This seemed to be a newly opened pastry shop. Why hadn't she seen it before? Xie Ning was very unfamiliar with it.
Before she left yesterday, she had told Ming Yuan to bring back some fun things in the capital for him. Now, she had completely forgotten about this matter. Looking at this shop, Xie Mingyuan probably didn't know about it. She would just use this shop to trick him. Thinking of this, Xie Ning got off the carriage.
Behind him, Xie Chengzhang noticed that the carriage had stopped. He didn't know what had happened, so he lifted the curtain. This time, he didn't get out of the carriage, but when he looked, the carriage had stopped in front of an elegant pastry shop. Xie Ning was nowhere to be seen.
He looked at the guard who followed him and asked,"Where's Miss?" Where did he go?"
Xie Chengzhang's dignity was still there. The guard quickly bowed his head and replied," General, Miss said that she went to buy something for the Eldest Young Master…"
Just as the guard finished speaking, Xie Ning had already walked out of the shop with a few boxes of beautifully decorated pastries in her hands. She walked straight into Xie Chengzhang's carriage." Father, the owner of this shop is really enthusiastic. He gave me an extra box of pineapple cakes."
Xie Chengzhang couldn't do anything to his daughter. She was very mischievous. He sighed and shook his head slightly." Stay here obediently. Don't go anywhere before you get home."
Xie Ning blinked and stuck out her tongue at Xie Chengzhang. She obediently went forward and hugged Xie Chengzhang's arm. She said coquettishly," I know, Dad."
The group of carriages continued to move forward. Gradually, the carriage drove towards the south of the city, away from the noisy streets. They entered a quiet road filled with lanterns, and a graceful and luxurious residence slowly appeared...
