Chapter 1663: Chapter 1664: Injured
"Have you found out who the woman was who warned me that night?" An Ning asked.
Sikong Wuyou nodded, "She is the wife bought next door to the family you stayed with, Wang’s, and has been in the village for more than a year. She just gave birth to a child not long ago..."
Although she already has a child, she is one of the few women who do not wish to remain in the mountain village.
After Sikong Wuyou explained the situation to An Ning, An Ning instructed her, "She took a great risk to warn me that night, she has a kind heart. If possible, please help her more."
An Ning was not particularly insistent on meeting the woman.
In this matter, Sikong Wuyou is an official, and regardless of how he handles it, it would be logical.
But if she were to intervene herself, personal feelings could easily be involved, potentially affecting his fair judgment.
Moreover, even if she did intervene, she might not be able to help much. Although Wuyou had a cold disposition, he was extremely kind-hearted deep down, and An Ning believed in him.
Ultimately, An Ning handed Sikong Wuyou a bag of silver, asking him to pass it on to the woman on her behalf as a token of gratitude. With some money, a woman won’t be looked down upon, and hopefully, her future life will be smoother.
In the afternoon, it was heard that An Bingfeng woke up.
Then, An Ning was urged by the Yan family to go see him.
An Ning originally thought that she wanted to go herself but couldn’t put down her pride, so she wanted him to lead the way.
But when An Ning really went, she found she had no intention of going at all.
With a puzzled mind, An Ning reluctantly went out the door.
The County Office is neither big nor small, An Bingfeng’s place isn’t far from hers, just a few steps and An Ning had arrived.
Mu Yi stood at the door with injuries, and upon seeing An Ning, hastily greeted her, "Miss..."
An Ning blinked and dryly laughed, "How is the Prime Minister? Has he woken up?"
This inquiry, rather than expressing genuine concern, was more of a formality.
Though it was a concerned inquiry, it was devoid of any emotion.
"Reporting to Miss, Master just woke up, and the Young Master is inside accompanying him..." Mu Yi replied, then looked at An Ning and asked, "Miss is here to see Master, right? Go on in quickly..."
With that, Mu Yi made a gesture inviting her in.
An Ning, feeling pushed into the situation, had no choice but to walk inside.
"Ningning..." Seeing An Ning come in, the most delighted of all was An Yu.
An Ning smiled but didn’t know how to begin.
The scene was truly awkward beyond measure.
"You’re here to see Father, right?" Ultimately, it was An Yu who eased the awkwardness.
Although An Ning answered, she never acknowledged him as her father, "I heard the Prime Minister suffered a severe injury, although this injury wasn’t for me, I was among those captured at that time. Without the Prime Minister delaying, none of us would have had the chance to escape, so I specifically came to thank the Prime Minister..."
"Hmm." An Bingfeng merely nodded slightly.
The sunlight was completely blocked outside, and the room seemed a bit dark.
Yet An Ning could clearly see An Bingfeng lying on the bed, his face pale, lips blue, with his bare upper body covered in wrapped wounds, revealing tiny blood spots, indeed looking gravely injured.
