ment!"After he finished speaking, he looked at the officials behind him, "Ten lashes for each person, to serve as a warning to others!""Okay, boss!"The officials should obey, taking Song Erniang and S...The antidote's effects weren't that fast. Ginger lay on the horse's back, constantly soothing it.

Inside the carriage, Song Jiu Li was so scared she was about to cry, "This... what's going on"

"Don't be afraid."

Song Daniu's mother was actually terrified, but she put on a brave face in front of her children.

Song Jiubian's pale knuckles gripped the carriage wall, his gaze flickering with suspicion to Xia Chan huddled beside Song Jiuli. He suddenly said:

"Man-made."

Who on earth is so despicable!

Song Jiuli thought the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Who had such a deep grudge against them This wasn't a small matter.

It's possible they could lose their lives.

Oh!

The carriage wheels ran heavily over a large rock, nearly throwing everyone inside out.

Luckily everyone was prepared and held on tight. Even so, Song Jiu-Li still accidentally fell onto Xia Chan.

Her elbow slammed into Xia Chan's front, and the pain made Xia Chan's eyes water.

"Xia Chan, how are you"

Song Jiuli looked apologetically at Xia Chan, who hurriedly shook her head. "Miss, it's alright," she said.

How could it be alright But Xia Chan gritted her teeth and endured the pain, focusing all her attention on the situation outside.

Outside, the horse's emotions had calmed down, likely due to the effects of the antidote.

Jiang Wan diligently brushed the horse's mane, while Song Jiuci cooperated by pulling the reins tighter.

Finally...

The horse was brought to a halt, its pace slowing gradually. Only then did Jiang Wan realize they seemed to have run into an unfamiliar grove of trees.

Inside the carriage, there was a heavy silence. Xia Chan swallowed nervously but didn't dare speak.

"Everybody come down."

Ginger leaped from the carriage. She narrowed her eyes as she watched Summer Cicada help Lady Song out of the carriage.

Many have the opportunity to take them down, but among them the most suspicious is Xia Chan.

Jiang Wan's gaze was like a sword on her back, making Xia Chan very uncomfortable. She forced herself to lower her head and avoid Jiang Wan's eyes.

Just then, Song Jiubian got off the carriage.

That's right, it came down.

Except for Ginger, everyone was stunned and stared wide-eyed, dazed by the surprise.

Song Jiubian can walk now!!

"Yuan'er, can you go now"

Song Daniu's eyes were brimming with tears of joy.

"It must be the sister-in-law who cured her brother!"

Song Jiu Li excitedly jumped up, looking at Jiang Wan with stars in her eyes.

Song Jiuxi also looked the same, and Song's mother even held Gingerwan's hand, her voice choked with sobs.

"Wanni, thank you, thank you!"

Xia Chan stared at Jiang Wan with a look of astonishment, then glanced at Song Jiu Yuan who had stood up, her eyes filled with fear.

"Mother, please don't be so polite."

Ginger gently patted Song Dajiao's hand back, while Song Jiubian's gaze fell coldly on Xia Chan.

"This horse, did you do it"

He spoke with such certainty that Xia Chan's legs went weak and she immediately knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I haven't!"

"Big brother, didn't you misunderstand something"

Song Jiuli's joyful expression gradually faded, and a puzzled look fell upon her as she stared at Xia Chan.

Xia Chan's eyes welled with tears as she looked at Song Jiu Li, "Miss, I've grown up with you since I was young.

"How could I possibly harm you and your family, master I wouldn't!"

"Li'er, your older brother and sister-in-law will handle this themselves. You shouldn't get involved!"

Song Dajie also calmed down. This wasn't a time for happiness; they had just narrowly escaped death.

Song Jiuli reluctantly glanced at Xia Chan, and ultimately didn't say anything.

"Miss, I don't have it!"

Xia Chan bowed her head to Song Jiuli fiercely, hoping that Song Jiuli could help her.

As if hearing her thoughts, a group of men in black suddenly appeared.

It's gotta be a coincidence, right

The Shadow Guard stared in shock at Song Jiubian, not expecting the War King to have recovered!

That's even more reason not to let him grow up!

Ginger twisted her wrist, but before she could make a move, she heard Song Jiuyuan say:

"Wan Wan, you rest, leave it to me."

After so long, it's time for him to practice his skills.

In the blink of an eye, Song Jiubian was already locked in combat with the men in black.

Since he's already stood up, then all of these people have to shut up!

Song Jiuchi stood beside the women, protecting them. Xia Chan saw Song Jiuyuan's ruthless methods.

All that remains in its wake is a corpse.

She was so scared her legs almost gave way, she scrambled to her feet and tried to run away, but she was grabbed by ginger and pulled back.

"What are you running from"

"I'm just afraid."

Xia Chen's lips were trembling. She had always known about the Prince's prowess, but she had never witnessed it firsthand.

Not to mention her, even Song Jiuli was so frightened that her face turned pale.

On the contrary, even though Young Mistress Song was delicate in nature, her psychological resilience was surprisingly good. However, she didn't dare to look at the battle situation on Song Jiubian's side.

Song Jiu's return was swift, leaving a trail of corpses not far behind, and in his hand, he held a sword.

The sword was covered in blood, and he disdainfully discarded it. "Not very useful," he muttered.

"Wipe, wipe."

Ginger handed Song Jiubian a square handkerchief. The corner of Song Jiubian's lips twitched slightly upwards.

Thank you!

He wiped his fingers clean, one by one, with a cloth.

Jiang Wan, was the first woman to see him kill without a shred of emotion.

Once that was taken care of, it was time for domestic matters. Song Jiubian's eyes narrowed as he looked at Xia Chan.

"Isn't it"

He made it clear that he had lost his patience.

After glancing at the corpse not far away, Xia Chan knelt down again with a thud.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was forced to do this! Those people coerced me into it!"

"Is that really you!"

Song Jiuli's eyes widened in disbelief, her eyes filled with fury!

She trusted her so much, even borrowing money from her sister-in-law. Who would have thought that Xia Chan would repay her like this

Jiang Wan wasn't surprised. She had sensed something was off about Xia Chan a long time ago.

Song Jiuli just has a naive personality, she still needs to be honed. She pretended not to know anything.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chan burst into tears and said: "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't want to either."

But my family is in their hands. If I don't listen to them, my family will certainly not be safe.

Xia Chan burst into tears, yes, every step they had taken upon their reunion was a lie. She had indeed been sold to a brothel.

She was then taken away by those people, with the intention of letting her infiltrate and seize the opportunity to complete the mission.

"I don't want to hear your explanation!"

Song Jiu Li turned away, regardless of her reasons, she betrayed them was a fact.

If she was truly in trouble, she could have explained it to me privately at first.

But she didn't. All she kept saying was that she didn't believe them.

Who are those people

Ginger’s eyes fixed on Xia Chan with a discerning gaze. Xia Chan shook her head, “I don’t know, those people never tell us their identities. They operate in the shadows.”

"Summer Cicada, you are not allowed to lie to us anymore!"

Song Jiu Li was a bit angry, thinking that Xia Chan didn't want to say.

"Girl!"

Xia Chan knelt on the ground, her face filled with heartache as she looked at Song Jiuli. She suddenly lowered her head and said:

"I will always belong to my mistress."

She suddenly picked up the sword stand that Song Jiubian had dropped to the ground and put it on her neck.ity that in this era, the spiritual energy is thin, and I can't find a powerful fox spirit to merge with. I can only find another way to seek breakthroughs in the foundation building stage. I have alr...
