A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 181 Hiding the Secret from His Wife

Chu Jingchen took a quick step forward, and with his arm across, he blocked Yi Duoer's way. His eyes were filled with unquestionable determination, and he explained in a steady voice:

"They were only assigned to serve you. How can they let you do these as slaves?" Jiang Wange saw all this and understood his son's thoughts at a glance.

She just smiled slightly, with the tenderness and kindness unique to a mother, and gently took the ointment from Yi Duoer's hand, intending to apply the ointment to Han Bo herself.

But in the next second, Chu Jingchen flashed again, like a gust of wind, and reached out to grab the ointment from Jiang Wan Ge's general.

He waved his arm, and the ointment drew an arc in the air and was thrown directly into Han Bo's hand. At the same time, his voice was as cold as the north wind in the cold winter:

"Wipe it yourself!"

In his heart, Jiang Wange and Yi Duoer in this tent are the two most important women in his life. How could he let them take care of others?

Jiang Wange knew Chu Jingchen's thoughts clearly. She sighed slightly, her eyes full of helplessness and doting, and said softly:

"It's okay, kid! You don't have to worry." However, Chu Jingchen's face was still tense, with no sign of relaxation.

His eyes were like torches, staring straight at Jiang Wange. After a moment, he suppressed his inner resentment and said in a low and suppressed voice:

"Did you also have this tender expression on your face for Tuoba Yu? You also applied medicine to him, right?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire tent instantly dropped to freezing point. Jiang Wange's eyes trembled slightly, and the light in their eyes seemed to dim a little.

She knew very well that he would mind that she was held under house arrest by Tuoba Yu for such a long time. No wonder he had a misunderstanding and thought that there was some unspeakable past between her and Tuoba Yu.

She slowly came back to her senses, with a hint of flattery and earnestness in her eyes, and hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't do anything for him. Child, you believe me."

Her voice was soft and cautious, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. She tried her best to explain, leaving no room for Chu Jingchen to misunderstand her.

Yi Duoer keenly noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right. There was a strange look in her bright eyes as she looked back and forth at Chu Jingchen and Jiang Wange.

Han Bo was like a frightened quail, shrinking his neck and not daring to speak, just holding the medicine silently.

"Aunt Jiang, you don't have to tell him that old man is not worthy of your service. Okay, both of you go out, we are going to bed."

Yi Duoer's voice was extremely small, like the buzzing of a mosquito or fly, and she was afraid that the soldiers outside would hear it.

After saying that, she gently pushed Chu Jingchen, urging him to leave.

To be honest, she was really sleepy and wanted to rest early.

At this moment, the flickering candlelight emitted a faint glow, shining on the three people. The interweaving of light and shadow looked particularly strange.

Chu Jingchen turned his eyes to Yi Duoer reluctantly. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he turned around tactfully and slowly left the tent.

After he left, Yi Duoer breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face.

She immediately moved closer to Jiang Wange and asked in a low voice:

"Aunt Jiang, I'm afraid Tuoba Yu will take further action against you. We must be careful and vigilant. During this time, we must find a way to contact Jiang Wanyin and ask them to find a way to rescue us as soon as possible."

Jiang Wange always knew in her heart that Tuoba Yu had ill intentions towards her.

The reason why she has been safe and sound all these years is because she knows the Jiang family's treasure cave.

She knew in her heart that if Tuoba Yu did anything out of line to her, she would fight to the death. Perhaps it was this determination that made Tuoba Yu always cautious and tolerant until now.

Yi Duo'er's words made Jiang Wange feel confused. She frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"why?"

"He actually sent maids to take care of you. This is a treatment only given to concubines. But I can't understand why he sent these two... Alas! It's hard to explain... Tell me, I just scolded Tuoba Yu, will they go and complain?"

Yi Duoer's face was full of worry, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

Jiang Wange looked at her like this, shook his head gently, and said with a gentle smile:

"Don't worry, you can trust them."

Although Yi Duoer was very confused about Jiang Wange's words and had doubts in her heart, she was helpless at the moment and could only bury these doubts deep in her heart for the time being.

Chu Jingchen came to where Han Bai was and saw that there was a slight bruise on Han Bai's right eye. His originally resolute face now looked a little embarrassed.

There seemed to be a flash of pity in his eyes, and his tone became a little gentler:

"From now on, your monthly salary will double." When Han Bai heard this, his originally dim eyes instantly brightened up and an ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

You know, his original monthly salary was already quite high, and now he could get a raise after being beaten like this. He actually secretly hoped that Yi Duoer would punch him a few more times.

"Go and secretly pass the message to the fourth brother, asking him to keep a close eye on the movements of the Dongli Kingdom. Also, tell Xie Yun about Tuoba Yu's secret imprisonment of Wei Yan and the information that he has obtained the Dongli Kingdom's defense map through interrogation!"

Han Bai excitedly responded loudly: "Yes!"

He knew that his master must have made arrangements in advance.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the tent.

Chu Jingchen got breakfast from somewhere and placed it neatly on the table.

He stood aside, facing Jiang Wange, his expression still that seemingly distant yet with a hint of flattery.

Yi Duoer walked into the tent and looked at the rich yet somewhat bland delicacies on the table. She was full of doubts. Her eyebrows were slightly raised and her eyes were full of question marks.

However, she quickly regained her composure. She quickly walked to Jiang Wange's side, gently helped her sit down, and then slowly sat down herself.

She knew that she had to eat quickly, otherwise she would be late for herding the sheep.

Although she had been exempted from work, it was still her job to look after the sheep.

She reached out and picked up the spoon. Just as she was about to drink the goat milk, a young woman's clear voice came from outside: "Sangsang, hurry up. We can't be late today."

The woman seemed a little afraid and did not dare to go into the tent. She could only shout loudly outside.

After hearing this, Yi Duoer hurriedly picked up a steamed bun, hurriedly raised her hand to pick up the bowl, drank a mouthful of goat milk, and while chewing the steamed bun, she said anxiously: "Aunt Jiang, you guys eat slowly, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she immediately ran out like a whirlwind.

Jiang Wange had long been accustomed to her impetuous appearance, and his heart was filled with heartache.

Chu Jingchen looked at Yi Duoer's departing back, his heart filled with mixed feelings, all kinds of emotions intertwined together.

Then, he looked at Jiang Wange, his eyes still cold, but his words were full of concern:

"Well, I see that you are not in good health. This oatmeal porridge is for you to nourish your body. You should drink more." After saying that, he picked up another bowl of oatmeal porridge and strode out.

Jiang Wange was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, a moving look appeared in his eyes, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his heart, which was extremely warm.

Yi Duoer ran outside and saw Chu Jingchen following her out with a bowl of porridge in his hand.

Chu Jingchen walked up to her with a look of determination that would not tolerate refusal, and insisted that Yi Duoer eat a few bites.

Although Yi Duoer was very confused about his behavior and didn't understand why she was so nice to her, she still did as she was told obediently.

After finishing her meal, she smiled as brightly as the sun: "Thank you!"

Chu Jingchen looked at her unconcealed smile, and felt as if a warm current was slowly flowing through his heart, so warm that his heart almost melted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise a little.

This heartwarming scene happened to be seen by a few people nearby, and they all made a few jokes.

At this moment, Yuan Meng appeared in front of everyone covered in blood and scars, like an avenger returning from hell.

Her eyes were full of hatred, and her gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Yi Duoer.

She seemed to have lost her mind. She bent down, picked up a stone on the ground, and smashed it at Yi Duoer with all her strength.

At this time, Yi Duoer was immersed in the interaction with Chu Jingchen and did not notice the approaching danger at all.

Chu Jingchen reacted extremely quickly. His body was like a flash of lightning. He instantly grabbed Yi Duoer and pulled her to his side.

The stone hit the ground with a whistling sound, splashing up a cloud of dust.

When Yi Duoer came to her senses and looked around, she saw that Yuan Meng had got a knife from somewhere. She held the handle tightly with both hands, and the blade was flashing coldly in the sunlight.

Yuan Meng rushed over again like a mad lioness.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw this. Chu Jingchen took advantage of Yi Duoer's inability to react and lightly raised his toes. A stone suddenly rose from the ground as if it had been given life.

He raised his hand slightly, and the stone flew towards Yuan Meng's knee like a bullet.

Yuan Meng only felt a sharp pain in her knee. She groaned, lost her balance instantly, and fell to the ground.

The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The soldiers guarding the sheep pen heard the noise and rushed over quickly. They were well-trained and immediately stepped forward without hesitation to arrest Yuan Meng.

When Yuan Meng saw that he couldn't touch Yi Duoer, the hatred in his heart burned like a flame, burning more and more fiercely, and he began to curse viciously, which was extremely unpleasant to hear.

Chu Jingchen looked at her with a cold expression on his face, and that look seemed to be able to freeze Yuan Meng into ice in an instant.

He hadn't yet settled the score with Yuan Meng about Wei Yan's matter, but she had come to trouble Yi Duo'er first. Moreover, she had cursed him so harshly that he could no longer endure it, so he stepped forward to confront her and said:

"Yuan Meng, because of my master, I don't want to bother with you. If you continue to look for me, I won't let you go."

Yuan Meng laughed coldly, his laughter full of mockery and disdain: "What qualifications do you have to call my master Master? It was you who killed him. You are so cruel."

Yi Duoer was speechless for a moment after hearing her words, and felt very aggrieved.

This incident was a pain that she would never be able to let go of. She became a little emotional and loudly retorted:

"You forced me to do this. If you hadn't threatened me to save Master, how could we have ended up in this situation? More than half of my men were killed or injured, and I haven't come to terms with you yet."
