Seeing Lu Ruojiang like this, the others hurried to catch up, guarding Lu Ruojiang vigilantly to prevent any oversight.
When Lu Ruojiang arrived at the hunting lodge, Qin Liangwan had already come down the stairs and ordered the door to be opened.
Lu Ruojiang dismounted, took a few big steps, and without waiting for Qin Liangwan to speak, pulled her into his arms.
"I was so scared, but thankfully, I arrived just in time. We won't go to Yan County anymore; when we get back, we'll get engaged and married." Lu Ruojiang now felt a sense of relief after the ordeal.
He had watched as that person took away the martial maid named Aling, and initially, the whip was aimed at Qin Liangwan. Lu Ruojiang could hardly bear to think about what might have happened if Aling hadn't pushed Qin Liangwan away at the crucial moment or if he hadn't arrived in time.
Lu Ruojiang was dusty and disheveled from his journey, a stark contrast to the elegant and fragrant young master from a noble family he usually was.
But in his arms, Qin Liangwan felt an unparalleled sense of peace.
"Lu Ruojiang—" Qin Liangwan's nose tingled, and she whispered plaintively, "Why did you come so late! Do you know how scared I was?"
"It's my fault. I will never let you be alone again." Lu Ruojiang touched Qin Liangwan's nape, making a gentle and solemn promise, "I will never let you face these things alone again."
Faced with the fear of the thief, and feeling guilt and worry for Aling, Qin Liangwan released all her emotions in Lu Ruojiang's embrace.
Listening to Qin Liangwan's soft sobs, Lu Ruojiang felt his eyes grow warm; it was his failure to protect his little girl.
Mao Yuli stood not far away, unsure whether to step forward and separate the two. If he didn't intervene, it would be inappropriate, but if he did, Wanwan had already endured so much fright and needed a good outlet for her emotions.
Sigh, it's really difficult. Mao Yuli turned her eyes away, choosing to ignore the situation. She first instructed He Yuan to take people outside to clean up; otherwise, even if danger didn't come immediately, the lingering smell of blood would make anyone uncomfortable.
Aling was helped over by Lu Ruojiang's guards. The thief hadn't even had a chance to do anything to Aling before he died; her injuries were due to the impact from falling from a height.
The moment Qin Liangwan saw Aling, she immediately pushed Lu Ruojiang aside. "Aling, are you okay?"
Aling forced a smile and replied, "Ms., I'm fine. You don't need to worry."
Qin Liangwan felt ashamed and said, "If it weren't for my carelessness, you wouldn't have put yourself in danger to save me. I'm sorry for putting you in this situation."
Aling waved her hand and said, "Ms., please don't say that. The general sent us here to protect you; this is what I should do."
"I believe that if it weren't me by your side back then, they would have done the same."
Qin Liangwan didn't argue with Aling about this; she just kept it in her heart.
"How is your body? Is the injury serious?" Qin Liangwan looked at the area Aling was covering with her hand. "There's no village nearby and no doctor in sight..."
The forgotten Lu Ruojiang interjected, "I have a doctor with me. I'll have him take a look at Miss Aling shortly."
Then, Lu Ruojiang solemnly bowed to Aling, saying, "Thank you, Miss Aling."
Aling was taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, she quickly stepped aside. "Crown Prince, what are you doing? Please get up."
"Although this may make Miss Aling uncomfortable," Lu Ruojiang said as he stood up and looked at Aling, "I am very grateful for your selfless act. I can't imagine what would have happened if Liangwan had really been taken away by that thief."
