Chapter 127: Snatching the Tiger Cub
Chapter 127: Snatching the Tiger Cub
As soon as Hu San left, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Master Wan still maintained his heroic persona and said to Miss Li, "Miss Li, don't bother with a scoundrel like Hu San."
"If he dares to come and cause trouble again next time, just send someone to call me."
"I will definitely help Miss Li get justice!"
Miss Li knew exactly what kind of person this Young Master Wan was.
But the Wan family is a big family in Jinzhou Prefecture. Even if this Young Master Wan is only from a branch of the Wan family, he is not someone she can afford to offend.
Miss Li had no choice but to hold back her nausea, kneel down, bow to Master Wan, and thank him.
"Thank you for your help today, Master Wan. I am very grateful!"
"It's just that my daughter is still in mourning, so it's inconvenient for me to entertain Master Wan. I hope Master Wan will forgive me!"
Previously, Miss Li rejected Master Wan’s proposal of marriage, using the excuse of mourning.
Although Master Wan is lustful and loves women, he does not like to use force.
So he took a fancy to Miss Li and decided to win her heart first.
However, Young Master Wan did not insist on pursuing the matter today. After saying a few words, he took his men away.
Seeing this, Yun Fuling and the others were about to leave, but Miss Li stepped forward, bowed solemnly to Yaoguang, and said in a grateful tone:
"Thank you for helping me out of this difficult situation today."
Miss Li saw it clearly at that time. If Yaoguang hadn't poked her finger and made Mrs. Hu jump up, she would probably not be able to explain herself today.
Yaoguang waved her hands repeatedly, "In fact, my master saw that the old lady was pretending to be dead, so she asked me to press the acupuncture points on her legs to make her reveal her lies in public."
Upon hearing this, Miss Li bowed solemnly to Yun Fuling again, "Thank you for your help today!"
Yun Fuling was surprised and asked, "How do you know I'm a woman?"
In order to travel more conveniently, Yun Fuling dressed as a man throughout the journey.
Miss Li smiled and said, "Your eyebrows and eyes are as beautiful as a painting. Even if you dress like a man, you can still tell at a glance that you are a woman."
Yun Fuling had a good impression of Miss Li, so she kindly said a few more words.
"It's hard for women in this world. Miss Li has learned medical skills and run her own clinic. Her heroic spirit is admirable."
"But I think Hu San and the young master of the Wan family are not easy to get along with."
"Miss Li, you should make plans early. If you are defeated, it is a good idea to avoid it."
Miss Li bowed again and said sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance!"
Yun Fuling smiled at her, turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the jade pendant around Miss Li's waist from the corner of her eye.
The style of the jade pendant was quite similar to the one worn by the shopkeeper Hang of Ping An Tang, except that the jade pendants worn by the people of Ping An Tang were all engraved with Ganoderma lucidum patterns, while the jade pendant on Miss Li's waist looked like it had a snow lotus pattern.
Yun Fuling couldn't help but ask: "Miss Li, the jade pendant on your waist is very unique, can you show it to me?"
Miss Li nodded and immediately took off the jade pendant and handed it to Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and found that there was indeed a snow lotus engraved on it.
Apart from the different pattern, the size, texture and style of this jade pendant are exactly the same as the one that Mr. Hang owns.
Yun Fuling once heard Grandpa Hang say that his grandfather got a jade pendant of a beautiful woman and asked someone to carve four jade pendants of the same size, but the patterns on the four jade pendants were different.
Later, the four jade pendants were given to his four disciples respectively.
Yun Fuling couldn't help but ask, "Miss Li, your jade pendant is so unique, where did you buy it?"
Miss Li smiled and said, "I didn't buy it. This jade pendant was passed down to my mother by my grandfather before he passed away, and then my mother passed it down to me."
Yun Fuling didn't say much and returned the jade pendant to Miss Li.
After talking for a few more words, Yun Fuling and the others said goodbye and left.
After they walked away, Xiao Jingyi asked, "Is there anything wrong with the jade pendant?"
Yun Fuling explained, "My great-grandfather once had four jade pendants made. The patterns carved on the jade pendants were the four treasures of medicinal herbs. He gave them to his four apprentices respectively."
"The jade pendant of Grandfather Hang was carved with Ganoderma lucidum, so the plaques of Ping An Hall are all engraved with Ganoderma lucidum patterns."
"The jade pendant that Miss Li was holding just now was engraved with a snow lotus. Miss Li's grandfather should be Shi Qilin, the second disciple of my great-grandfather."
"According to Grandfather Hang, after my great-grandfather died, they all had their own ambitions."
"The eldest disciple Ouyang Ming entered the Imperial Hospital, the second disciple Shi Qilin traveled around, the third disciple was Grandfather Hang, who opened Ping An Hall in Jiangnan, and the fourth disciple Qiu Shuanghua went to the southwest to practice medicine."
"Grandfather Hang said he hadn't been able to contact Grandfather Shi in all these years. I didn't expect that he was no longer alive."
Yun Fuling sighed. She didn't expect that she and Miss Li had such a connection.
"That young master of the Wan family obviously has ill intentions towards Miss Li. Since we are old friends, we might as well give her a hand."
Xiao Jingyi nodded, "I'll listen to you!"
As the two were talking, their way was suddenly blocked.
Yun Fuling looked up and saw that the people blocking their way were actually the young master of the Wan family and his gang.
Young Master Wan had not been able to settle accounts with Yun Fuling and the others in front of Miss Li, and these people looked unfamiliar to him, so he did not dare to act rashly before finding out the details.
He sent his men to inquire around the city and found out that these people were passing merchants who were now staying at the Sifang Inn in the city.
How dare a small merchant meddle in other people's business and ruin his good fortune?
If he doesn't teach them a lesson, how will Young Master Wan survive in Jinzhou Prefecture in the future?
Young Master Wan was about to order someone to take action when he suddenly saw Yun Jingmo holding a tiger cub in his arms.
Master Wan's eyes lit up instantly.
He recently heard a piece of news that the young master of the Wan family's direct branch needed tiger gall as an ingredient when preparing medicine.
But are tigers easy to hunt?
The direct branch has been recruiting people recently to go into the mountains to hunt tigers and get tiger gall to treat the young master.
Although this little tiger cub is small, it must be very brave.
If he could donate the tiger gall to the direct branch and save the young master, with such a contribution, the direct branch would certainly look upon him with favor, and his status in the clan would naturally be greatly improved in the future.
Thinking of this, Master Wan's heart was suddenly filled with enthusiasm.
He raised his hand and pointed at Yun Jingmo, "Give the tiger cub in his arms to me, young master!"
Young Master Wan's group of lackeys were a little confused for a moment.
Aren't we supposed to beat these people up and teach them a lesson?
Why are you suddenly trying to snatch a tiger cub?
And the child was holding a tiger cub? Why did it look a bit like a cat?
Seeing that his men were stunned, Master Wan immediately kicked them.
"What are you all standing there for? Come on! I want that tiger cub, take it back for me!"
However, before that group of lackeys could make any move, Tian Quan took action alone and knocked them all down.
