Chapter 14: Gratitude

Su Wan looked at the man, his facial features were sharp and angular, with a pair of deep and cold eyes, his brows were lowered, and the noisy clamor in front of him made him very impatient.

Surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn’t expect that the man she threw into the vegetable shed would be picked up by the Song family.

Zhao Wei keenly caught Su Wan’s gaze, his eyes staring intently. The girl had a slender and tall figure, with long black hair softy flowing on both sides of her chest like silk, and her bold and proud features were bright and charming.

She wore a light purple long dress, standing casually at the door, exuding a kind of unconstrained casualness from the bottom of her bones.

Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows and recognized Su Wan, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei.

If it weren’t for this face, Zhao Wei wouldn’t dare to recognize her.

The change in temperament was too great.

Before, he had a passing acquaintance with Su Wan, her appearance was outstanding, but without any charm, blending in with the crowd.

Now, Su Wan was like a bright pearl, even if placed in the countryside, she would still be dazzling.

“Benefactor?” Madam Jiang saw Zhao Wei staring at Su Wan, and her heart skipped a beat. Could these two know each other?

She was anxious and uneasy in her heart: “We saved your life, you don’t need to give us a reward, just… just take back the silver that they robbed from us!”

Yesterday when they brought him back, while they were searching, they found a small seal in Zhao Wei’s waist pocket, and Song Dalang recognized it as the characters “Zhao Wei”, a young general who was famous and powerful across the four seas!

They were extremely happy, embracing a golden opportunity.

The current situation puzzled Madam Jiang, making her particularly anxious.

“Benefactor, you should be grateful!”

Su Wan chuckled and asked, “You were the ones who saved him?”

Madam Jiang, filled with anger, suddenly flared up, her eyes blazing as she retorted, “If it wasn’t us who saved him, was it you who saved him?”

Song Manfu covered his mouth with his hand, his hand smeared with blood. He was full of resentment and spat a mouthful of blood on the ground. His eyes were like a poisonous snake, staring at Su Wan viciously: “We brought the person back from the vegetable shed, and the neighbors all saw it. You can’t try any tricks.”

Su Wan didn’t look at them, raising his eyebrows and asked Zhao Wei, “Do you remember where you collapsed?”

Zhao Wei’s voice was hoarse and cold: “In the mountains.”

Madam Jiang and Song Manfu’s pupils shrank, their faces turned pale for a moment, then blue.

Suddenly, they remembered something. When Zhao Wei was lying in the vegetable shed, his wounds were bandaged.

Previously, they thought Zhao Wei had bandaged himself and fainted from his severe injuries.

They had a faintly bad premonition, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

“Did you save me?” Zhao Wei moved his shoulders slightly. The pain from the wounds on his back was tearing, and he asked with an ambiguous tone: “Dragged down from the mountain?”

“Although there are a lot of bruises, it’s better than being eaten by a wild beast.” Su Wan raised her chin slightly and said lazily and casually, “You don’t need to repay the favor. I took one tael of silver from your pocket.”

Then she said to Mother Gu and Gu Huaizhi: “Let’s go, I’m hungry.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll make you pancakes.” Mother Gu didn’t take Su Wan’s act of saving the person to heart, just thinking that she had dragged the person down from the mountain, “Next time you encounter this, don’t do it alone, call me to help.”

“Okay.” Su Wan gave Mother Gu a sweet smile.

Gu Huaizhi stared at her radiant smile, pursed his lips, and turned his face away.

However, Zhao Wei seemed lost in thought. He was a soldier, getting injured was a common occurrence, and he also knew how to bandage wounds.

Su Wan’s bandaging technique was very skilled, and the medicine she applied to the wound was very effective.

As a noble lady who rarely left the Marquis’s mansion, how could she understand pharmacology?
