Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife Chapter 71.2

Jing Wan felt she was sore all over her body. She slowly opened her eyes and stalled for a moment, before finally waking up completely. She attempted to sit up; it wasn't very strenuous. Moving around her hands and feet, she then carefully studied the sensation. Very good. For the most part, she can be certain that it was all superficial injuries, and she didn't injure her nerves. However, because she was a bit dizzy, she might have a slight concussion.

Jing Wan stood up and thought of the close call of falling off a cliff. She'd initially thought that this time, she might lose her life, but didn't expect that the actual damage could nearly be disregarded. However, for her to have been able to survive, it was probably still mostly thanks to that Wu An Marquis's heir. Although it was chaotic after falling off the cliff, but her memories weren't exactly blank. She remembered very clearly. The moment she was flung out of the horse carriage, Wu An Marquis's heir had pulled her in time, so as to not let her directly fall towards that piece of giant sharp rock. Although it was also because of him that she ended up tumbling down, his life saving favor can not be denied.

Jing Wan very much worried about the three that rode in the same carriage as her: Sun Yi Jia, Yuan Qiao Qiao, and Zhou Ying Shuang. Don't know if they will also be as lucky as herself. However, what was fortunate was that their horse carriage had traveled a bit faster, so grandmother and the others' horse carriages, who were quite far behind, most likely weren't affected.

Seeing the place where she landed, she had to say, her luck can be said to be good to the point of defying the laws of heaven. The surrounding were all rocks and rubbles. Only this place alone was piled with sandy soil. There were also quite a bit of plant ashes, as well as quite a few messily scattered dry straw. Towards these excessive things, Jing Wan actually didn't show a surprised expression, because in the temporary man made resting stop nearby, there were even more dry straw heaps inside, as well as some other junks. It was probably the temporary resting place of the villagers from the village down along the river and into the mountains. And as for the dry straw that were pulled outside, should be from the animals that came down from the mountains, like the monkeys and such.

The 'monkeys' that were hiding in the dark were all very anxious, because their future mistress still haven't noticed their master yet.

More than half of Jing Wan's thoughts were correct. This place certainly was the handiwork of the surrounding villagers that lived at the foot of White Dragon Temple mountain. This coincidence saved those shadow guards a lot of effort in forging this 'scene of an accident'.

Jing Wan lifted her head and looked up. The cliff was too tall, she definitely won't be able to climb up, and it won't be easy for the people above to come down and find her either. Then looking again to her left and right, the cliff extended continuously. She also didn't know how long this river extended, rather than wasting time in attempt to walk out following along the river, it was better to just wait here. After all, perhaps White Dragon Temple had other paths coming down. If she were to leave, what if she misses them, wouldn't that be very unfavorable to herself instead. She could only inwardly pray for them to all be okay. As for grandmother and the other's worrying, that was also something that couldn't be helped.

Suddenly, the sound of something splashing into the water was heard. Jing Wan turned around and looked over. Before noticing where the sound came from, she instead saw a body lying by the water first.

Jing Wan's heart jumped, and she hesitated for a moment. Looks like he'd floated down from upstream. This was probably going to be something troublesome, but she couldn't just watch him die and not help out either.

Seeing Jing Wan walk towards their master, the few in the dark finally sighed in relief.

Jing Wan walked to Li Hong Yuan's side. At first glance, this person really looked miserable. His clothes were slashed to shred, and judging from that clean cut, it was obviously done by a sharp weapon. If every slash saw blood, one can imagine, just how severe his injuries were. She squatted down and reached her hand out to check for breathing. Even though it was faint, he was still alive. This was good. However, Jing Wan wasn't sure what exactly his situation was, and further didn't know how long he could still endure. Would his breathing just stop in the next moment?

Some of his hair was messily scattered on his face, but Jing Wan still felt this person looked somewhat familiar. She conveniently had the hair brushed aside, and her first thought was 'this person was a bit too good looking', following which she immediately came to realization. Wasn't this the sixth prince, Jin Qinwang? Although Jing Wan only had one chance meeting with Li Hong Yuan at Ding Duke Manor, in fact she didn't even get a good look, but this face of his was really just too eye-catching. It was very hard to even want to forget.

It was very obvious that he was the target of an assassination attempt. As expect, this was really troublesome.

Then thinking again to this one's reputation, although you can't just arbitrarily judge a person because of hearsay, but this face was truly too attractive, so it may not necessarily be 'wind from an empty cave'^[1].

Even so, Jing Wan still decided to save him.

After all, Jing Wan wasn't a native person of this world, and moreover the current circumstances were special, thus couldn't pay that much attention to the etiquette between man and woman. She extended her hand and felt around his chest, neck, and four limbs, in order to determine if he had any fractures, so as to avoid causing a second injury when moving him. These simple first aid methods, as well as some life skills, were all something she was forced to learn during that most deprived period of her past life.

“Isn't Miss Luo rather too…….to her, master, no matter what, is still an unfamiliar man.” A shadow guard couldn't help but frown.

“She checking whether or not master has any broken bones. It's very clear that she should understand some medical skills. The situation right now is special. Even if her actions are improper, it can't be criticized. On the contrary, her meticulousness, wholeheartedly taking master into consideration, under the premise of knowing master's identity, this bit, is really hard to come by. After all, one misstep, and she'll be throwing in her own reputation. Not many unmarried noble daughters would be able to go this far.” An Jiu said. Because of Jing Wan's actions, his opinion towards her actually changed some.

Just, if it was another man, would she also be like this? No, there wouldn't be an 'if'. Sir lady protector wasn't incompetent. Because they were present, sir lady protector didn't follow down. Other men didn't even have the chance to come near Miss Luo. Thinking of it like this, their mood naturally improved quite a bit.

After confirming that there were only injuries caused by sharp weapons, Jing Wan somewhat strenuously had the person propped up. Because she exercised all year round, she naturally wasn't a delicate, without the slightest strength, feeble young woman. It was somewhat difficult with a grown man's weight completely pressed on her body, but it wasn't to the point where she couldn't move a single step. However, because she was exerting her strength, the pain on her body also intensified some more.

Jing Wan had the person half supported half dragged into that temporary shelter, placing him on top the dry straw. Since she's decided to save him, she naturally wouldn't continue to think too much, and swiftly removed the ornaments on his body, placing them to the side. Then she carefully took off his clothes, only leaving behind a pair of inner trousers.

(T/N: I'm pretty sure inner trousers are the equivalent of modern boxers)

His attractiveness was off the charts; his body was also off the charts, an entire set of six packs, yet wasn't too much, presenting a perfect streamline, able to sense the power contained within without even needing to touch. Truly is the creator's favorite. However, this wasn't a body a man intoxicated in wine and women could possess. At the moment, Jing Wan naturally didn't have the energy to pay attention to these things. There were seriously quite a few injuries on this perfect body, mainly concentrated on the chest and arms. However, it was less than what she'd imagined. It was obvious that in some places only the clothes were torn.

Even so, the condition still wasn't favorable. The cuts, because were soaked in the water, were somewhat turning white. However, Jing Wan has never studied medicine before after all, so she didn't know how long he'd been soaking in the water for to have this kind of result. Have to say, these things that Li Hong Yuan planned, actually weren't without flaws. Especially when facing Jing Wan, because she wasn't his enemy, there really was no need to be this exact and thorough. Carefully thinking it over, one would always discover flaws. Just, Jing Wan was entirely unaware that she herself was being targeted by someone and was even being meticulously 'schemed' against like this. She would never think in this direction. Occasionally, she would have doubts, but wouldn't think too deeply on it either. Li Hong Yuan understood this bit about her; that's why he was able to be this unrestrained.
