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

Behind them was a large meadow, usually used for carriages and horses to park. What the people didn't know was that this was also where the shady shop divided its loot.

There was a lamp stand about half a person's height on each of the four sides, with an oil lamp placed on each of them.

Using the momentum, Song Qingyan leaped forward and sprinkled the sleeping powder into the oil lamp.

There were still a few jars of wine in the middle. They avoided the first two jars and the last two jars, choosing instead to add the poison to the middle jars.

There is a shed in the southeast corner, which is used to house horses. There is only one horse in it now.

Song Qingyan and Chen Hui hid in the stable, and shining their flashlights out from there, combined with the oil lamps around them, would have a better effect.

Soon, people began to arrive, each dragging a heavy sack, laughing and talking about how many treasures they had acquired.

About an incense stick's time later, a burly man with a beard came up from the center and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

For some reason, Song Qingyan felt that this person looked familiar, as if they had met once before.

He kept this matter to himself and kept a close eye on those people's every move.

After exchanging pleasantries, they quickly began drinking celebratory wine.

After drinking several jars of wine that were not laced with drugs, the laced wine was quickly opened.

Perhaps because they had drunk quite a bit, none of them noticed the difference at first; they were all quite tipsy.

"Doesn't this taste wrong?"

The bearded man frowned and lifted the wine jar to examine it.

The two people hiding under Ma Peng didn't expect that this person would realize something was wrong so quickly. They looked at each other and suddenly pulled the rope tied to the pillar.

Two people suddenly appeared in mid-air, and they were quickly recognized by others.

"Isn't this a mistress or a concubine?"

Only then did people realize that they hadn't seen the two people.

The two men were covered with a large piece of cloth, on which was written in blood: “Those who commit many evil deeds will surely be punished by heaven.”

When the crowd saw the words written in blood, they started arguing.

Someone shouted, "Who's playing tricks? Get your ass out here..."

Before he could finish speaking, a strange light suddenly appeared on his body. What was frightening was that after the light shone on him, the man suddenly collapsed to the ground!

Then, the second person, the third person, the fourth person...

The joyous victory celebration could no longer be maintained, and Chen Jiechai, taking advantage of the chaos, shouted, "Heaven has sent down divine punishment!"

The thieves in the room were already afraid of the sudden white light, and when they heard the sound, they all showed expressions of fear.

The bearded man standing in the center was also taken aback by the scene, but as his discomfort intensified, he gradually understood.

What divine punishment? It's just someone doing something underhanded.

He spat, looking at his brothers below who were panicking and falling one after another, a bad feeling rose in his heart. Soon, he gritted his teeth, grabbed some money, and stumbled away.

The sleeping potion was very effective. Even when the county yamen runners arrived, they were still not fully awake. Some people kept chanting that divine punishment had come, but naturally no one believed them.

The escorts were unharmed, but their money was stolen and then returned. Zheng, the escort, exchanged a few words with the constables, slipped them some silver, and then they were able to set off.

As they set off, they noticed that Liao, who was staying in the second wife's quarters, kept glancing over in their direction, her eyes revealing a guilty conscience.

Thinking of the two thieves who returned, Jiang Jinning understood everything.

She rolled her eyes and ran over to find Zheng Jiechai.

Zheng Jiechai already knew that it was their family who had dealt with the thieves, and now his attitude towards her had improved considerably.

No one knows what Jiang Jinning whispered to them, but in any case, the escorts gave special instructions to the second branch of the family: whenever they relaxed their guards on the journey, they would be whipped.

Song Wanzhen leaned closer and whispered to her, "What did you say this time?"

Jiang Jinning chuckled, but her eyes were innocent and clear: "I didn't say anything. I just said that my second uncle and the others felt they needed the urging of the escorts to speed up their journey, and asked the escort officer Zheng to send someone to fulfill their wishes."

Song Wanzhen laughed so hard she almost fell over: "You're so naughty, I love you so much!"

Song Qingyan couldn't help but smile slightly, but his eyes darkened when he noticed the second wife's family.

After traveling for two days, they were unable to find lodging before the city gates closed, so they had to spend the night in the wilderness.

Jiang Jinning and the others actually received several vegetable buns today. Compared to cornbread, the quality of their food was a qualitative leap. The second branch of the family had been driven away all the way and had their cornbread taken away from them. Now that they saw the eldest branch of the family eating vegetable buns, they were so jealous that their mouths watered.

"Yanxi, go and call your aunt over."

Song Yanxi pouted, clearly not keen on going.

The eldest branch of the family has been having a smooth run lately. Now that we're here, we'll see their smug faces.

Liao's eyes kept darting to the steamed buns not far away, she swallowed hard, and said sternly, "Go when I tell you to! What are you standing there for?!"

After greeting the escorts and nearly getting whipped, Song Yanxi reluctantly headed towards the eldest son's house.

She angrily tugged at her clothes and happened to see Song Wanzhen washing up, revealing a beautiful bracelet on her arm.

Song Yanxi rubbed her eyes, thinking she had misread it. She rubbed her eyes again and looked carefully to make sure she hadn't misread it.

These round, smooth beads are rare items of such high quality, even in the best shops in Luoyang!

Good, the eldest son's family really has some good stuff!

They were exiled for so long that they hid away all the good stuff!

For a moment, jealousy and resentment filled Song Yanxi. She almost gritted her teeth to pieces before turning around to find Yuan Jiechai.

Song Wanzhen was completely unaware that Song Yanxi had seen the bracelet on her hand. She carefully straightened her clothes and returned to the spot.

On the way, she encountered Yuan Jiechai, who stared at her for no apparent reason. Song Wanzhen silently rolled her eyes, unfazed and too lazy to pay any attention to her.

After she left, Song Yanxi appeared beside Yuan Jiechai.

"Are you sure you saw clearly? She was carrying something good?"

"If you don't believe me, take a closer look tomorrow morning while she's washing up. It's a pink bracelet, definitely worth a fortune."

Yuan Jie remained silent, seemingly considering something.

Seeing that he hadn't agreed yet, Song Yanxi grew anxious: "Sir, you've been under a lot of pressure lately. If you present this to Zheng Jiechai, you'll not only benefit, but you can also take the opportunity to suppress Chen Jiechai. After all, the eldest son's family is protected by Chen Jiechai..."

Yuan Jiecha's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and pretended not to care.

"Alright, I'll help you this once."

In the evening, when all was quiet, Jiang Jinning opened her eyes, followed by Song Wanzhen, Zhao Shi, and Song Qingyan, who all opened their eyes and looked at Jiang Jinning.

They knew that Jiang Jinning was going to Fairyland tonight to talk to the street administrator about renting a stall.

"Be careful. If the administrator is difficult to deal with, we won't set up a stall," Zhao instructed worriedly.

"Mom, why are you so discouraged? Sister-in-law, you can definitely do it. It would be great if you could bring me some food when you come back."

"Your main purpose was probably in that last sentence..."

The group joked and laughed for a few moments before watching Jiang Jinning leave.

It was that familiar alleyway again, and this time, the door really did appear before me.

Jiang Jinning carefully touched it, but the door suddenly disappeared.
