After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

On the way to Xuwen County, the female prisoners had difficulty moving forward under the escort of the officers.

In the team, Sun Ying was carrying her brother Sun Shaojie, who had just recovered from a serious illness. Every step she took seemed extremely strenuous. All this was seen by Yuan Zhiqiang, who was patrolling the team on horseback. He was already in a bad mood because of some things, and when he saw Sun Ying and her brother slowing down the team, he immediately became angry.

"Hurry up! If anyone dares to dawdle, my whip will not have eyes!" Yuan Zhiqiang scolded while waving the whip in his hand, making loud whip flowers in the air.

Sun Ying gritted her teeth and tried to speed up her pace, but with Sun Shaojie on her back, she was unable to do so. The siblings gradually fell behind the team.

Li Qiuyue drove a donkey cart and followed at the end of the team. When she saw Sun Ying's plight, she felt very conflicted. She was well aware of the evil deeds of these officers, but she was alone and weak, so she did not dare to intervene easily.

At this time, a yamen runner walking behind the team saw Sun Ying falling behind, and a malicious look appeared in his eyes.

Sun Ying was originally a famous beauty in Leizhou City. Even though she had become a female prisoner and was in a miserable state, her outstanding beauty could not be concealed.

This yamen runner had long coveted her, but he was cautious and did not dare to act rashly in Leizhou City. Now that they were being escorted to this remote place, he felt that he had an opportunity.

The bailiff slowly approached Sun Ying, muttering something obscene: "Young lady, you can't walk so slowly! Do you want me to help you?" As he spoke, his hand reached out for Sun Ying's shoulder.

Sun Ying dodged in disgust, but stumbled and almost fell.

Sun Shaojie also cried out "ouch" as he was shaken on her back.

"Get away, don't touch me!" Sun Ying glared at the bailiff angrily.

The bailiff was enraged and about to explode when suddenly there was a commotion ahead.

It turned out that a female prisoner at the front of the team accidentally fell, causing a small chaos.

Yuan Zhiqiang hurriedly rode his horse over to check the situation!

The bailiff was interrupted by this sudden incident and temporarily stopped his evil deeds, but he still followed Sun Ying closely, his eyes seemed to want to stare a hole in her.

Sun Ying took advantage of this opportunity and tried to move towards the crowd. She was anxious and wanted to catch up with the team, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Suddenly, she tripped over a stone and fell forward.

"what--"

"sister!"

Sun Ying fell into the mud on the side of the road, and the mud splashed on her chest.

Sun Shaojie also fell to the ground. He didn't care about himself and hurriedly got up to help his sister.

"Sister...how are you?" Sun Shaojie asked with red eyes and a crying voice.

Sun Ying forced herself to stand up and comforted him, "Shaojie, don't be afraid, sister is fine."

When the yamen runner saw Sun Ying's wet clothes, the fire of desire in his eyes became even stronger. He took advantage of the panic of Sun Ying and her brother, grabbed Sun Shaojie, raised his hand and punched him, knocking Sun Shaojie to the ground.

"Shaojie!" Sun Ying exclaimed and rushed towards the yamen runner desperately, trying to snatch her brother back.

The bailiff easily restrained her and dragged her towards the woods by the roadside.

"Let me go! You beast, let me go!" Sun Ying struggled desperately. Her hands were grabbing around randomly and her feet were kicking at the yamen runners, but as a weak woman, she was no match for the yamen runners.

Li Qiuyue was on a donkey cart. When she heard the noise, she looked back and found that Sun Ying and Sun Shaojie were gone, and the yamen runner was nowhere to be seen either. Her heart sank. Although she didn't know what had happened exactly, she could guess a little.

Her hands tightly gripped the reins of the donkey cart, her knuckles turning white from the strain, and she felt deeply helpless and self-blame.

She wanted to save Sun Ying, but was afraid that she would be in danger too. She could only watch the team move forward, and her heart was filled with worry and guilt for Sun Ying's siblings.

Sun Ying was dragged to a remote place by the officer. She struggled hard, but was only treated more roughly.

Her clothes were torn apart by the pulling. Seeing that the clothes on her chest were torn and her inner clothes were about to be exposed, her eyes were full of despair and her strength was disappearing bit by bit. She finally gave up resistance and collapsed to the ground, allowing the officer to continue his evil deeds.

"Hmph! Young lady, you are still quite stubborn!" The officer panted and flirted with her wantonly.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a hint of green on Sun Ying's neck, and with a strong pull, he pulled out a jade pendant.

"Tsk tsk tsk, little girl, you actually have a top-grade jade pendant hidden!" The officer brought the jade pendant in front of him. He saw that the jade pendant had a smooth texture and fine carving. It shone with a soft luster in the sunlight. It was obviously worth a lot of money.

"This is a good thing, it belongs to me!" He laughed excitedly, looking at it carefully, and calculating how much silver he could exchange it for.

Just as the officer was overjoyed and was about to put the jade pendant in his arms, a black shadow flashed by like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, the officer felt a chill on his neck and a sharp pain. Before he could even scream, he fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

"You..." Sun Ying raised her head in horror when she heard the noise.

I saw a man in black with his back to me, his body standing tall and straight, like a deep pool or a towering mountain.

The officer on the ground was dead, blood was spreading on the ground, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Lin Yu widened his eyes and stared at the warm jade pendant in his hand in disbelief.

The jade pendant was crystal clear and carved with a lifelike phoenix. The exquisite craftsmanship was breathtaking.

What shocked him even more was that this jade pendant was exactly the same as the other half of the Phoenix Jade Pendant that their prince had been searching for for many years!

He slowly turned around, his sharp eyes shooting straight at Sun Ying like lightning.

At this moment, Sun Ying's face was as pale as snow, and her delicate body was trembling slightly because of fear and shyness. She reached out in a panic to pull up her already somewhat tattered clothes, trying to cover her looming body.

At the same time, she hugged her arms tightly against her chest, as if this could give her some sense of security.

Lin Yu raised the jade pendant in his hand high and asked in a low and majestic voice: "Is this yours?"

Sun Ying finally recovered from her extreme fear. Her lips trembled, and it took her a long time to squeeze out a word: "This... This is the jade pendant that I have worn since I was a child. If... If this knight likes it, take it."

After that, she lowered her head gently, not daring to look at Lin Yu again.

However, despite her humble and timid behavior, there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible complex emotions hidden in her slightly trembling voice.

Lin Yu stood there, staring motionlessly at the disheveled woman in front of him. His heart was like a turbulent sea, with all kinds of thoughts coming to his mind.

The sudden appearance of this jade pendant and its owner, Sun Ying, completely disrupted his original plan. He didn't know how to deal with this sudden change, nor did he know what to do next to properly handle this matter.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, and Lin Yu fell into a long silence.

A moment later, he disappeared into the woods, leaving Sun Ying alone.

Sun Ying looked in the direction he left, tears glistening in her eyes. She slowly squatted down and buried her head in her arms. Her suppressed sobs echoed in the silent woods.
