A red apricot is about to cheat on you
Chapter 174 Preparing to Escape
Chu Jingchen froze suddenly, feeling as if he had been cast under a spell. He slowly turned around and looked at Jiang Wanyin, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt and anxiety:
"Did you know from the beginning that she faked her death? Since you chose to hide it, why are you telling it now?" Jiang Wanyin was speechless for a moment. Her slightly open lips seemed to be blocked by something, and she didn't know how to answer.
She looked at Chu Jingchen's face, which was filled with pain and confusion, and felt a slight pity in her heart. So, she whispered a few words of comfort, trying to ease his tense nerves, and then continued to explain to Jiang Wange.
"At that time, my sister chose to send you away to protect you. You were still young, and the enemy was watching from the shadows, and they would not let you go. The late emperor was afraid of the Jiang family's heavy military power, so when the treacherous people fabricated false evidence, the late emperor found an excuse and swiftly executed hundreds of the Jiang family members."
In fact, deep down in Chu Jingchen's heart, he didn't really hate Jiang Wange.
However, he still found it difficult to face the complex and tangled emotions in his heart. He was afraid to face the loss he had experienced, afraid to endure the pain that tore his soul again.
But he also longed to see her immediately and hear her tell him in person the past events and reasons that had been buried by the years.
He stood there, quietly, his deep expression gradually becoming as calm as the surface of a lake brushed by a spring breeze.
His gaze returned to Jiang Wanyin, and his lips trembled slightly as he whispered, "Auntie." This word, like a warm electric current, shook Jiang Wanyin's body slightly, and a flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes. She controlled her emotions, and her slightly trembling hands betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
Chu Jingchen continued, "Lingfeng will be here to assist you in reorganizing the Jiang family army." After that, he turned around and was about to leave, his steps were very decisive. He was not worried that the reorganized Jiang family army would pose a threat to the court, because he held all the military power of the Qi Dynasty in his hands, as if he was controlling the lifeline of the world.
Even if the Jiang family army is reorganized, it is just one of the many heavy troops of the Qi Dynasty. It can only exist and develop under the rule of the Qi Dynasty. Naturally, it will also be under his jurisdiction and constraints.
Chu Jingchen was extremely anxious and wanted to rush to Huju without stopping. He couldn't wait to see the person he had been thinking about day and night. However, he was stopped by Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin walked forward quickly, holding a token tightly in his hand. The token was shining with mysterious light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Jiang Lin came up to Chu Jingchen, handed the token in his hand to him, and said in a deep voice:
"This is what she gave me, and now I'm giving it back to you. Also, please say sorry to her for me." A hint of sadness appeared on Jiang Lin's face. That look seemed to be stained with a layer of sadness by the years, and it seemed like a true feeling. This made Chu Jingchen feel a little doubtful.
He thought to himself: Could it be that Jiang Lin likes Duo'er? But at this moment, his heart was filled with thoughts and worries about Yi Duo'er, and he had no time to think about anything else.
So, he just nodded slightly, said "hmm", and turned and left quickly. The departing figure gradually went away in the afterglow of the sunset.
"Master..." Han Bai was about to speak when Chu Jingchen raised his hand to interrupt him.
Seeing his anxious expression, Han Bo felt puzzled but did not dare to ask any more questions.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed Chu Jingchen's footsteps.
The next morning, the sun shone gently on the earth, but it could not shine into the gloomy world in Yi Duoer's heart.
With less than a day left until the festival, time was running out. She squatted by the river, the grass around her swaying gently in the breeze, as if sighing for her fate.
She held the precious sword tightly in her hand, and the sword gleamed coldly in the sunlight. She sharpened it back and forth on the whetstone, and the friction between the sword and the stone made a rustling sound.
Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if there was an unsolvable knot between them, her eyes were as firm as a rock, revealing determination and fearlessness.
She was meticulously preparing for her escape tomorrow. Although she had never fought on the battlefield, her heart was filled with fearless courage. She told herself that for freedom, for what she wanted, she would never back down. She would not be afraid.
Jiang Wange looked at her quietly. This was the first time she had seen Yi Duoer look so cold and stern, filled with murderous intent.
Although she felt a little surprised, her kind and gentle nature made her not afraid.
She gently picked up the clothes to be washed, walked forward slowly, and asked softly:
"Sangsang, where will you go after you leave here?" Yi Duoer's hand paused slightly, and the originally mechanical movement seemed to be interrupted by this question.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting Jiang Wange's. Actually, she herself hadn't made up her mind.
At first, she was eager to return to the capital, but then she wanted revenge and revenge! Zhu Qingxue had tried to kill her many times.
She and Zhu Qingxue must come to an end.
And go and explain clearly to Chu Jingchen that what the adults said is right, running away will not solve the problem, and being as cowardly as a mouse is not her, Yi Duoer's, exclusive name!
But now, after going through so many hardships and changes, she just wants to settle Xiaoran, the person who is as important to her life.
She looked at Jiang Wange and said sincerely, "Don't worry, Aunt Jiang, I will send you back to your family safely."
Jiang Wange's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile. That smile was as warm and bright as the spring sunshine, but her eyes were filled with reluctance:
"Child, I know that you have no relatives now. Are you willing to stay with me?" Yi Duo'er's heart trembled suddenly. Jiang Wange's sincere eyes were like a magic key that opened the shackles of her emotions.
She nodded slightly, thinking that there were only the two of them here, and perhaps it was time to reveal her identity and let her know about Xie Xingchen's deceptive behavior.
So, Yi Duoer took a deep breath, as if gathering all her strength, and said firmly: "Aunt Jiang, there is something I have never told you. I am actually from the capital. Actually, Chu and I..."
