Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Everything She Has Comes from Men

Chapter 104 -104 Everything She Has Comes from Men

The Deputy General couldn’t quite believe what Jie Chen had said.

He specifically called in another soldier and read out the contents of the letter.

By then, the Deputy General finally confirmed that the Great General was aware of Xiang Ying’s treatment of the plague and had granted her a special pardon.

As an exiled criminal, she could actually be free of shackles and become a person with merit, which was simply unheard of.

Without a doubt, it must have been Jie Chen who reported this to the General.

The Deputy General, unable to provoke Jie Chen using Xiang Ying, could only swallow his anger.

Covering his swollen cheek, he waved his hand: “You may leave. However, Xiang Ying must behave herself. If she reoffends and ends up in my hands again, I shall not be lenient!”

Jie Chen nodded in agreement and pulled Xiang Ying by the wrist to leave.

When the two walked out of the camp, they saw soldiers cleaning up a pool of blood on the ground.

Supervisor Wei’s mutilated corpse was being carried away.

Xiang Ying looked ahead at Jie Chen, who still held her wrist without letting go: “You knew all along that Supervisor Wei was a spy, so why did you keep him close?”

Unexpectedly, Jie Chen, without turning his head, answered coldly: “I also knew you were in danger, didn’t I still save your life?”

Xiang Ying was taken aback.

Indeed, she could not refute that.

“Regardless of your reasons, thank you.”

“No need for thanks, I did not want you to die at the Deputy General’s hands.”

Exiting the camp, Jie Chen pulled her behind a large tree.

Xiang Ying blinked her delicate lashes; her phoenix eyes were beautifully outlined, her pupils pitch black.

“Why so secretive? Are we about to have a tryst?” Her red lips curled into a smile, her tone somewhat teasing.

Jie Chen’s ears reddened as expected, and his sword-like eyebrows knitted together: “I’m not here to fool around with you.”

His voice deepened: “You covered for me just now; where exactly were you last night?”

Xiang Ying’s expression appeared innocent: “In the tent.”

“Liar,” Jie Chen decisively said, “Your attitude towards Supervisor Wei changed overnight. Those things, did you plant them in his tent?”

Xiang Ying slightly raised her eyebrows: “No.”

She kept a straight face: “Last night, I saw him sneak out, and when I followed him, I found that he went to the Deputy General’s tent. Not long after, he returned carrying some items.”

“Maybe, they were in cahoots, planning to frame us with this incident to punish you.”

Jie Chen pursed his lips; he had considered this possibility.

The Great General had shown him a lot of attention, causing the Deputy General’s dissatisfaction for a while now.

But seeing Xiang Ying’s smile of pure innocence, her eyelashes fluttering, Jie Chen always felt her smile was sly like a little fox, somewhat cunning.

“Do not rashly speak out to clear me of charges next time; just taking care of yourself and not causing me trouble is enough.”

He strode forward.

Xiang Ying followed behind: “Supervisor Jie also went out last night, but it seemed not to the main camp. Where did you go?”

Jie Chen paused, unable to discern the faint joy that surged in his heart, and responded in a deliberately indifferent tone: “Irrelevant to you.”

Xiang Ying made an “Oh” sound and indeed asked no further.

Jie Chen frowned discreetly; why did she stop asking? Was his response just now too cold?

Perhaps it was just casual concern.

Xiang Ying suddenly said again: “When can I accompany you into the city?”

She had already figured out a specific plan to loot the granary.

Unexpectedly, Jie Chen replied: “You can’t join me on trips to the city for purchases anymore. The Great General sent a message that he will inspect the troops in a few days. Once he arrives, we will allocate the troops and then set off.”

“During this period, it’s best for you to keep a low profile in Luzhou City to avoid trouble.”

Xiang Ying was stunned.

She wasn’t allowed into the city anymore?! How would she be able to loot the granary?

Jie Chen waited for a moment but did not hear Xiang Ying speak.

Turning back, he saw the beauty with knitted brows and her phoenix eyes gleaming with dark light, seemingly pondering something.

Anyway, she did not seem too pleased.

Jie Chen’s heart softened.

He had promised her before, and going back on his word now did not seem right.

So, he nodded: “However, I can grant you half a day’s time. You can take Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi for a walk around the city.”

Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes lit up, and she raised her head decisively: “Really? Can I bring the children too?”

“The child can’t go.” Jie Chen spoke resolutely, “You can only bring two people, decide for yourself, take the chance this afternoon, you must return before evening.”

Xiang Ying blinked: “Aren’t you sending anyone to follow me?”

Jie Chen remained calm as before: “No need. You can’t escape, and even if you do, you can be caught.”

He was so confident.

No one could stop Xiang Ying once she decided to leave.

She began to strategize about who to take with her into the city.

Xiang Li was definitely not an option, his leg hadn’t fully recovered, and Lin Lingxiang needed to stay to keep him company.

As for the Princess and Yu Pin, there was naturally no need to consider.

The only ones she could take into the city were Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi.

When she returned to the encampment, Tao Xue and the others were tidying up the damaged tents.

Xiang Ying gestured with a wave of her hand: “Stop that, come with me. Jie Jianjun has lent us a carriage, allowing us to go into the city to shop for half a day.”

Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi were extra surprised, and all three kids immediately rushed over.

Xiang Yuanshuo: “I’m going too!”

Xiang Ying patted his head: “You all can’t. Jie Jianjun fears you’re too young, and might get hurt in the city’s crowds, therefore, he only allows me to take Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi.”

Xiang Yuanshuo and Xiang Xiuxiu looked disappointed.

Xiang Yuanlang stood by with his arms folded, speaking with a tone of a little grown-up, coldly saying: “We are hostages, that’s the main reason we’re not allowed to go.”

Xiang Ying smiled helplessly.

Her second child was always too clever.

Skinny Monkey rushed the carriage over, and Xiang Ying pulled Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi on board.

The rest of the women were green with envy, watching Skinny Monkey urge the horses on, taking them away.

Xiang Qianqian was picking up dry wood nearby, her dark eyes glancing once at the carriage.

Nowadays, she no longer wore her thoughts on her face as she did at the beginning.

When others praised Xiang Ying, she could also smile and agree a few times.

But as soon as she turned away, Xiang Qianqian’s expression revealed full jealousy and disgust.

Last night, she couldn’t sleep, and while squatting in the tent, through the swaying gap, she saw the silhouettes of Xiang Ying and Jie Chen, one after another, flashing back into the camp.

Perhaps they had just gone out together, or perhaps did something else.

In any case, everything Xiang Ying had obtained was because she had pleased a man.

Xiang Qianqian clenched her fist, holding a stack of dry wood, and went to Supervisor Ke’s tent.

Supervisor Ke’s tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and he was lying down resting.

Hearing the noise, he quickly sat up: “Xiang Qianqian, why have you come again? Didn’t I say that you don’t need to collect wood for me?”

Xiang Qianqian raised her recently washed clean face: “Supervisor Ke can’t use his hands conveniently right now, and I don’t have much else to do, so I wanted to help out with what I can.”

She placed the firewood in the corner, but as she stood up, Supervisor Ke saw her sway.

He hastily stretched out a hand to support her.

Feeling the soft touch, Supervisor Ke quickly withdrew his hand.

He wasn’t lustful, nor did he harbor any improper thoughts towards these women prisoners.

His action of supporting Xiang Qianqian was just a subconscious gesture.

Xiang Qianqian blushed, lowering her head, her voice buzzing: “Thank… thank you, Supervisor Ke, I haven’t eaten and almost fell, thanks to your help.”

Supervisor Ke didn’t believe her, frowning as he looked at her: “How is that possible? Because of Xiang Ying’s merits, we have been especially lenient towards all the criminals.”

“Not only is there a lot more food, but there’s also no limit on drinks, how could you still be hungry?”

Xiang Qianqian looked at him pitifully, her eyes filled with tears.

“It’s my fault, I was late and didn’t manage to secure any food. It’s not related to you supervisors.”

Hearing this, Supervisor Ke looked at her, seeing just a girl, pitiful indeed.

For Xiang Ying’s sake, he pointed to his own uneaten bun and meat soup: “Take it and eat, I’m not hungry anyway.”

“How could I…”

“If I tell you to take it, just take it, and stop talking nonsense. Go out if there’s nothing else.”

Xiang Qianqian hesitated for a moment and then nodded in thanks, taking the meat soup with her as she left.

Watching her retreating back, Supervisor Ke felt the soft touch from earlier was strange. He shook the hand that wasn’t injured and turned over to sleep.

At this time, Acid Scholar stood in Jie Chen’s tent.

He spoke in a low voice: “Master, rashly sending letters to the General could potentially reveal your identity.”
