The jade pendant connects the past and present; the exiled crown prince's wife takes her entire

The worm is finally dead!

Jiang Jinning maintained her desperate running posture. When she heard its long howl and the sound of the earth shaking, she subconsciously turned around and saw her little general riding on the back of the tiger, his two hands tightly gripping a large knife. The large knife was plunged into the tiger's forehead, and the tiger died instantly!

She opened her mouth in shock, unconsciously slowed her pace, and was about to crash into the big tree in front of her.

Song Qingyan used the momentum to leap over and pull her back. He then quickly glanced at her up and down, and seeing that she only had some scratches, he slowly exhaled.

She stood there, stunned, as if she were terrified.

Song Qingyan couldn't bring himself to utter any of the blame he wanted to say. After a long while, he reluctantly wiped away the bloodstains on her face and said softly, "Don't risk your life alone next time. I'll worry."

The young general will be worried...

I'm worried.

For some reason, Jiang Jinning found these words particularly beautiful coming from the young general's mouth. She loved hearing them, was delighted, and felt her heart pounding in her chest.

She smiled again, her smile as radiant as the stars.

"it is good."

"Cough cough cough."

A few coughs finally broke the increasingly awkward atmosphere.

Chen Jiecha covered his mouth, feeling very embarrassed, his face turning bright red.

He really shouldn't be here, and he shouldn't have been coughing like that. He ruined the nice atmosphere!

Song Qingyan helped Chen Jiechai up and bowed respectfully with a solemn expression.

"Thank you for protecting my wife."

Chen Jiecha quickly dodged, avoiding his courtesy.

"It was Madam who saved my life. Otherwise, I would have been bitten to death by the tiger long ago. I am not worthy of your gratitude. If it weren't for my incompetence in not dissuading the boss in time, Madam would not have been in danger."

Chen Jiecha was very embarrassed.

Just now, Jiang Jinning risked everything to protect him, and all he had done in the past few days was to regularly give her steamed buns and even rely on her to satisfy his daily appetites. Yet he had received her life-saving grace, so how could he accept this gift?

Song Qingyan still thanked him, his expression solemn.

"In any case, we are grateful to Officer Chen for taking care of our family."

"No, no, it's just that Madam is being particularly kind to me..."

The two thanked each other politely. Jiang Jinning carefully looked around and, seeing that no one was around for the time being, quickly took out the iodine gauze and tissue regeneration powder she carried with her.

"Officer Chen, your shoulder is injured. This medicine powder is very effective. Apply it first."

Jiang Jinning handed the items to Chen Jiechai, indicating that he should apply the medicine quickly.

"This bamboo tube contains disinfectant. You can wash the wound with water, apply the tissue-regenerating powder, and finally wrap it with gauze."

Chen Jiecha was not unaware that Jiang Jinning was hiding something.

Although a body search is conducted according to regulations before confiscating property and exiling prisoners, oversights sometimes occur. It is common for items to be hidden in the linings of clothing. Even if the escorts discover such items, they will turn a blind eye, since they can also benefit from the valuable items on the prisoners.

Seasoning is one thing, but why are there people carrying medicine for injuries, especially this one? The higher-ups have given orders, both openly and secretly, not to hide medicine.

Chen Jiecha glanced at Song Qingyan in shock, then realized with astonishment that the man who had just slashed the tiger was not seriously injured at all!

When Chen Jiechai looked at Song Qingyan, Song Qingyan was also looking at him. Although his expression was calm, his fingers unconsciously curled up.

If he were to expose this now...

Song Qingyan lowered his eyes, a murderous glint in them.

"Officer Chen, hurry up and apply the medicine. If you wait any longer, the wound will become infected and it will be even more painful. Oh, right, if you have a fever, you can take this tonight. And this is also for anti-inflammation."

Jiang Jinning's voice broke the silence. She handed over two more white pills, unlike the dark pills on the market. These pills seemed to be ethereal, as if they were produced by immortals.

This is too precious, how can he be worthy of it!

Perhaps sensing that Officer Chen was hesitant to accept the money, she continued, "Officer Chen fought the tiger with us; we're family. Family members help each other!"

Her expression was sincere, without any impurities, and extremely clean.

A warm feeling suddenly flowed through Chen Jiechai's heart. He didn't know whether to be happy or relieved. He stiffly accepted the medicine, and then, as if he had made a decision, he solemnly clasped his hands in a fist.

"Thank you for the medicine, Madam."

Song Qingyan then loosened his grip and turned his head with a smile to look at Jiang Jinning, who was completely unaware.

She seems to possess a kind of magic that can easily move people.

About half an hour later, Zheng Jiechai arrived with his men.

Chen Jiechai quickly explained the reason, naturally omitting the truth that Song Qingyan was the one who delivered the fatal blow, only vaguely saying that they had worked together to eliminate the tiger.

Even so, Zheng Jiechai began to look at Song Qingyan with new respect.

Behind Zheng Jiechai, trying to keep a low profile, was Yuan Jiechai, whose face was extremely grim.

Little did he know that Chen Jiechai would be so lucky!

Chen Jiechai naturally saw Yuan Jiechai as well. Remembering how Yuan had attacked him earlier, he wanted nothing more than to skin the bastard alive. However, only Jiang Jinning had witnessed the truth of the matter. Zheng Jiechai would never believe it, and even if he did, he would not take any action. He always knew how to balance the power struggles among his subordinates.

However, some obstacles still need to be created.

He glanced around and saw that most of the escorts had brought back members of the Song family, including the second branch of the Song family who had escaped the farthest and fastest.

However, quite a few people were missing, and the vast majority of them were pushed towards the big worm by certain people.

"Boss, all the prisoners have been found, but more than ten are dead, about eight or nine of them were..."

The unfinished words immediately reminded Zheng Jiechai of Yuan Jiechai's actions, and his face darkened with anger. He swung his hand at him.

"You bastard!"

Yuan Jiechai groaned inwardly, cursing Chen Jiechai, who was on the verge of death, but outwardly begged for mercy, rolling his eyes as he said, "I admit my mistake and accept punishment, but Chen Jiechai has a very close relationship with that rebel family, which is much more serious than my own situation."

Zheng Jiechai had heard the rumor before. He never cared about what his subordinates did in private, but it was indeed a bit inappropriate if it involved Song Qingyan's family.

Seeing Zheng's reaction, Yuan Jiechai thought he had a chance and continued, "The second branch of the Song family can testify to this. It's not something I made up. They personally witnessed the traitor's wife giving Chen Hui a sachet. If there was nothing wrong, why would she give such a private gift? They've clearly been having an affair for a while!"

"Yuan Er, you're talking nonsense! Watch your mouth! That sachet of mine is..."

He was about to say it when he suddenly stopped, as if he didn't want to say it.

Taking advantage of the situation, Yuan Jiechai said, "Boss, look how anxious he is. If you don't believe me, summon the people from the second branch of the family and ask them. They saw it with their own eyes."

The members of the second branch were already feeling resentful that the eldest branch was lucky to survive and even had to be praised by the messenger. Now that they had a chance to kick someone when they were down, they couldn't wait to stomp on them.

"Yes, yes, we saw it with our own eyes!"

Tian immediately pushed forward her husband, Song Qingyan's second uncle, Song Guangying.

Song Guangying dared not utter a single word in front of the escort, looking utterly timid. It was Liao who spoke up in a nonchalant tone: "Ying'er, just tell the truth. The eldest daughter-in-law has been kept in the dark and has the right to know the truth."

Every word and phrase was for the sake of the eldest son's family, but the interest in his eyes clearly didn't mean that.

"You dare utter a single word of nonsense!"

Song Wanzhen finally realized that the one who had been stirring up trouble was not Song Yanxi, but this old hag!

How could she forget that Song Yanxi dared to openly sow discord precisely because she had the Liao family backing her up!
