349  Injured Young Man (2)

Su Ning's thoughts in the book were described as follows:

Upon laying eyes on Chu Tiansheng's exceptional good looks, Su Ning felt compelled to help him.

Observing him dressed in plain civilian attire, she couldn't resist the urge to assist him. The idea of having him as her servant didn't seem too bad; it would be a daily visual delight.

Acting quickly, Su Ning instructed the servant by her side to stem the bleeding and dress his wounds.

Before she could inquire about his name, Chu Tiansheng's master scaled the wall and came to his rescue.

Su Ning never had the opportunity to ask for his name at that moment.

Years later, when they crossed paths again, Su Ning immediately recognized Chu Tiansheng. By then, he had shed his boyish demeanor and transformed into a striking, charismatic young master, emanating the aura of a male lead.

This discovery ignited Su Ning's infatuation, plunging her into the role of a love-struck supporting actress in the drama of her own life.

Contemplating this, Qin Zhenzhen furrowed her brow. She hoped that the wounded young man wasn't Chu Tiansheng!

If it were him, wouldn't Su Ning fall head over heels for him once more?

Anxiously addressing the maid, Qin Zhenzhen urged, "Lead the way. Take me there!"

Turning to the magistrate's wife, she explained, "I'm concerned for my sixth sister's safety!"

Someone had trespassed into the governor's backyard by scaling the wall. While it wasn't her place to intervene, she worried for Su Ning's well-being.

If the young man was indeed Chu Tiansheng, she needed to investigate immediately.

If it turned out he wasn't Chu Tiansheng but a criminal, Su Ning might be at risk after saving him.

The prefectural magistrate's wife nodded vigorously and promptly issued orders, saying, "Auntie Wang, inform the guards and servants. One group should head to the backyard to investigate the situation, while the other should remain to protect the masters inside the house!"

"Very well!" Auntie Wang promptly went to make the necessary arrangements.

The maid led the way, conveying to Qin Zhenzhen and the magistrate's wife as they hurried,

"When this servant came to report, two guards had already discovered the young man along with us."

"I noticed someone was protecting Miss Su, so I rushed back to inform you."

Qin Zhenzhen let out a sigh of relief.

With two guards present, Su Ning's safety seemed assured, but the situation was eerily reminiscent of events from the book.

The prefect's wife also breathed a sigh of relief and slowed her pace. She had noticed the guards and male servants heading towards the backyard.

Being the wife of an official, she needed to maintain her composure and image, even though she was not in the best physical shape to run the entire distance.

Their residence was quite expansive, and there was still a considerable distance to cover from the main house to the backyard wall.

However, Qin Zhenzhen's concern for Su Ning's well-being made her too anxious to wait for the magistrate's wife to catch up.

Before long, Qin Zhenzhen and the maidservant reached the backyard wall.

However, the injured young man was nowhere to be seen. Instead, they found bloodstains on the ground and a group of five or six guards and servants standing there.

Several more guards and servants were rushing out through the back door.

Su Ning's hands and clothes were stained with blood, and her complexion had turned pale as she clung to Qin Zhenzhen.

She appeared to be somewhat frightened.

Qin Zhenzhen gently patted Su Ning's shoulder and offered words of comfort, saying, "There's no need to be afraid. They've already departed."

Upon questioning the two guards, they learned that the injured youth had been rescued by a middle-aged man who was also wounded.

The middle-aged man had scaled the wall and entered the premises. His arm was injured and dripping with blood, with only a makeshift bandage in place.

At the time, Su Ning and the two guards had just finished tending to the young man's wounds. Without uttering a word, the middle-aged man had pushed them aside and carried the injured youth over the wall.

Su Ning's face had turned ashen from fear when the middle-aged man forcefully displaced her.
