Mr. Ginger Second Master had just barely managed to send away the flirtatious Peach Blossom that Thin Bamboo Boat had sent him, and he was fuming with anger with no one to vent to. "You say who got bitten by a snake? Thin Bamboo Boat?"

Shen Wanci: "..."

This sounds a bit schadenfreude-ish, doesn't it?

Mr. Jiang, Second Master, probably also sensed that he was being too obvious and it wasn't very good, after all, elders still needed some tolerance. He cleared his throat: "So how is he now?"

"All I can do right now is bed rest," Shen Wanci got straight to the point: "Acid pouring yesterday, venomous snakes today, tomorrow you might receive my funeral invitation."

Ginger the Second: "You're saying the snake was in a delivery box? Sent to Bo Jinchuan?"

So unprepared, then it's no wonder he got bitten.

"It was sent to the Thin family's old house. I didn't see the specific recipient, but whoever could bring it into the main house must be either his mother or his father." She briefly recounted what had just happened.

Master Jiang's second son frowned, finding something odd about this matter.

But he didn't voice his suspicions, instead taking the opportunity to say, "I'll send you abroad."

"Do you think I can stay out of this?"

“Yes, I will arrange Lu Feng to follow you, and there will be other people protecting you over there. You can go out as you please and don't worry about anyone suddenly appearing to harm you.”

Shen Wanci had no plans to go abroad, and she wasn't calling to seek refuge. In a few days it would be June 16th, Auntie Su was going to Shiliu Mountain to pay her respects, but if she didn't say anything, even if she found her, there was nothing she could do.

To find out her identity within the Jiang family, or who she has connections with, finding Jiang Er Ye is the fastest way.

Although she didn't fully believe in Old Master Jiang II, compared to her mother, there was still a difference.

Ginger Second Master's voice was heavy: "Back then, I failed to protect your mother, now I have to protect you for her."

This is a way to make up for my past debt to her.

Shen Wanci was taken aback.

She had never asked why they had broken up in the first place.

If she hadn't been divided, her mother wouldn't have married Shen Zhenan, wouldn't have been forced to repair that painting, and wouldn't have died. But think about it, didn't that painting come from the Jiang family? If she hadn't been divided, she probably would have died even earlier.

"Lan'er, your mother loves you very much. She wouldn't want you to put yourself in danger for her."

The other person only dated her mother, but they don't owe me anything. I guess he's helping her out of old feelings, and she's asking for help right now. If she acts entitled again, that would be really disrespectful and annoying.

Therefore, she immediately channeled her inner actress and began playing the role of a filial daughter to garner sympathy: "Since I was 18 years old, I knew my mother's death might have been caused by someone. I've been investigating this ever since, and as you can imagine, it hasn't been easy. If I were to give up, I wouldn't persist in investigating for so many years with no leads."

"You're now asking me to give up everything and go abroad, not even my own daughter would agree to this."

"…" Second Master Jiang remained silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, the harshness in his tone had softened somewhat. "You saw what happened these past few days, don't you fear that one day the person who gets hurt will be you?"

"I'm quite scared, but that person is just a madman. Compared to fear, I'm more afraid of having such a time bomb by my side, putting everyone around me in danger at any time."

Ginger the Second Master remained silent for a long time, and it was unclear whether he had been moved by her words.

'Pop'

After Shen Wanci had swatted at mosquitoes countless times, Ginger Second Master finally spoke, but his words were irrelevant: "Why are you looking for me? If you're looking for Bo Jingzhou, although it might be slower, there is no risk."

It's definitely safer to be with someone you haven't met many times and have had unpleasant conversations with than a complete stranger.

Shen Wanci's bare skin was bitten by mosquitoes, leaving several large lumps, "Such a dangerous thing. Don't drag another person into the water, he gets hurt, and I'm the one who feels heartbroken."

"You're afraid of dragging him down. Afraid he'll get hurt, so you come drag me down?"

Ginger Second Master was practically worn out by her filial piety.

“But the other party didn’t seem to realize anything was wrong with their words, and asked in confusion, “Aren’t you already in the water?”

Mr. Ginger Second Lord : "...."

That makes sense, I can't refute it.

Isn't there any other way?

"I believe in my mother's judgment. Since she can fall in love with you, it means you must be a good person."

"Does she have good taste? What about that one in the detention center?"

“...”

I can't respond to that.

Elder Jiang: "Let me think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wanci turned around and returned to the villa. In just a short while, she was sweating profusely.

……

In the room.

Bo Jinchou took a picture of the leftover food and posted it to his Moments, captioning it: "Just got a minor injury, and my wife is so worried she insists on feeding me."

Set only Ni Ye Cheng to be visible.

He somewhat regretfully thought, he should have added Ginger Second Master's WeChat earlier.

As soon as Shen Wanci entered, she saw him staring blankly at his phone. She casually asked, "What are you looking at?"

Bo Jingzhou hurriedly put away his phone and stared at her with puppy-dog eyes, like a pet abandoned at home all day when its owner went to work: "Who were you talking to on the phone? You talked for so long?"

Shen Wanci originally wanted to say "Ginger Second Master," but considering that this man was like a vinegar jar, with only sourness to offer, she changed her words: "Doctor, I'd like to ask you, since the bite is so close to there, will it have any impact in the future, such as premature ejaculation or infertility? After all, the snake is poisonous, and there must be aftereffects."

Bao Jingzhou looked pale. "What did he say?"

"It's very likely that I haven't encountered such a nonchalant snake before, so there's no data to refer to in this area. You've just made a valuable contribution now," Shen Wanci lowered her head and tried hard not to laugh.

"...Impossible, I..." He stopped mid-sentence, hastily swallowing back the words before he gave himself away again.

Shen Wanci walked closer, and Bo Jingzhou only then saw the large mosquito bites on her arms and calves. He frowned and said, "Call the doctor. You still had to go to the garden specifically?"

This isn't a question or a sign of distrust, it's just seeing her being bitten like this and feeling heartbroken.

"Aren't you afraid people will hear and lose face?" Shen Wanci retorted.

"...Bo Jingzhou's face darkened, his jaw tightened as he stiffly changed the subject: 'I'm going to take a shower.'"

"Aren't you so weak that you can't even hold a bowl? The poison isn't fully out of your system, and your wounds can't get wet. If you don't want to end up having an amputation from infection, just stay in bed."

"Now that it's summer, you smell bad if you don't shower."

After teasing Bo Jingzhou, Shen Wanci was in a good mood. She took her pajamas and smiled at him before going into the bathroom: "It's okay, it won't stink on me anyway, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
