 Chapter 256: Words on the Note

Meng Yunzheng also saw her and nodded slightly at her before continuing to walk as if nothing had happened. Shu Yu put down three copper coins and carried the medicine pouch as she followed him, stopping only when they reached a secluded corner with no one around. Even though there was only Shu Yu on the other side, Meng Yunzheng remained cautious and didn't speak. He simply raised his hand to signal that he was about to take action. Shu Yu nodded. "Be careful then." Meng Yunzheng smiled at her and effortlessly leaped onto the top of a wall. Of course, the Jiang family had guards, but they were no match for Meng Yunzheng. The Jiang family was wealthy, and their house was quite large. After searching around, Meng Yunzheng found Jiang Ren's courtyard. Unfortunately, Jiang Ren was not in his own yard. However, Meng Yunzheng learned from Jiang's second young lady that Jiang Ren had gone to visit his third younger brother, Jiang Li. Meng Yunzheng hesitated for a moment before turning to Jiang's third son's courtyard. Although a day had passed, there was still some commotion in Jiang Li's courtyard, especially the voices of Jiang's father and mother, which were particularly chaotic. One was blaming the steward for being useless, saying that Jiang's eldest son hadn't been diligent enough to find the culprit. The other was comforting Jiang Li, whose mood was obviously bad, and asking about the condition of Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu had already brewed the medicine and had someone feed it to Jiang Li. After drinking it, Jiang Li's complexion worsened, and he directly threw the bowl to the ground. "Why is this medicine so bitter? Can't you prescribe a better one?" Doctor Liu remained silent. He was not a servant of the Jiang family, and he wouldn't let others insult him as they pleased. Anyway, seeing Jiang Li bouncing around like this, it was clear that he was fine, so Doctor Liu directly took his leave. Jiang's mother had someone escort him out and then turned to comfort Jiang Li. On the other side, Jiang Li's father had already asked Jiang Ren and the steward to leave. Meng Yunzheng kept his eyes on Jiang Ren, watching him walk a distance, not far from Jiang Li's courtyard, before pulling out the bamboo tip from his sleeve. He aimed carefully and then swiftly threw it towards Jiang Ren. With a "whoosh," the bamboo tip didn't use a bow, but its force was still not light. It narrowly missed Jiang Ren's face and landed straight in the soil in front of him. Jiang Ren was startled, immediately shouting in alarm and taking a few steps back in fear. The steward and several servants roared, "There's an intruder! Protect the young master!" Many people immediately rushed towards the direction from which the bamboo tip had been shot. However, at this moment, Meng Yunzheng had already changed his position. He didn't leave but stayed at the Jiang residence to observe what would happen next. The commotion on Jiang Ren's side quickly reached Jiang Li's courtyard. Jiang's father rushed out and asked, "What's going on?" The steward hastily spoke up, "Just now, an arrow was shot directly at the young master. There's a villain who wants to harm the young master, but luckily, the young master was alert and dodged in time." Jiang's father's heart skipped a beat. By now, someone had found the bamboo tip and ran over to hand it to Jiang's father. When they saw that it was just an ordinary bamboo tip, the expressions on everyone's faces subtly changed for a moment. Then, they looked at the note attached to the bamboo tip. Jiang's father quickly reached out and pulled out the note, unfolding it to read. In the next instant, his expression abruptly changed, and then his gaze became sharp as he looked at Jiang Ren. Jiang Ren's heart sank, a sense of foreboding washing over him. "Father, what does the note say?" Jiang's father threw the note over, and Jiang Ren quickly caught it and read its contents. Then, he saw a line of clear and distinct words: "Eldest Young Master Jiang, I advise you to leave some room for others in your actions in the future. Otherwise, it won't just be the Third Young Master Jiang who gets hurt next time."
