"Jiang Jin?" Wei Shu came out looking for Jiang Jin and saw her squatting on the ground talking to someone.

"Are you done washing?" Jiang Jin asked, glancing at Wei Shu's still slightly damp hair.

"Otherwise, who are you talking to? Shouldn't the Wang family members be in their own courtyard?" Wei Shu looked at the woman squatting in front of him with some wariness.

“Zhou Cong, let them go and receive their punishment. If they can’t even keep an eye on people, then let them go back to the capital directly, so they don’t have to stay here and embarrass themselves.”

Wei Shu was somewhat angry. The Imperial Guards had repeatedly made mistakes, making it hard for him not to suspect that someone inside was sabotaging them.

"Yes!" Zhou Cong glanced at Wei Shu's unpleasant expression and silently lit candles for the others in his heart.

“This lady said that Madam Wang is planning to escape through a secret passage. Does Lord Wei want to earn some merit?” Jiang Jin poked Wei Shu’s chest. The gold thread was dense and the brocade was soft. “The clothes are nice.”

"If you like it, I'll have someone make you a dress from this fabric after we return to the capital." Wei Shu took Jiang Jin's hand.

"The secret passages of the governor's mansion are all guarded. If they dare to escape, they will face the consequences of their escape." Wei Shu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Li Niang fearfully backed away.

“Li Niang, if what happened today is true, I will buy your slave status, but if it’s false, you will have to leave with the Wang family.” Jiang Jin squatted down and lifted Li Niang’s chin. “I hope the outcome will not disappoint me.”

"Madam, if what Li Niang says is false, may she be struck by lightning and never be reincarnated!" Li Niang knelt on the ground and swore an oath. The moonlight shone behind her, and Jiang Jin saw the resolute look on her face.

“I don’t believe in oaths, I only believe in facts. Come back to the courtyard with me first.” Wei Shu put his arm around Jiang Jin’s shoulder, while Li Niang carefully followed behind them.

"If we catch them, what will you do with them?" Jiang Jin was curious whether Wei Shu would carry out the order to kill without mercy.

"Kill without mercy. If you try to escape, don't blame me for being ruthless. What, Ah Jin, are you scared?" Wei Shu caressed Jiang Jin's waist from the shadows.

"Of course I'm afraid, afraid of dying at the general's hands." Jiang Jin pressed down on Wei Shu's Adam's apple. "So I don't mind if we both get hurt!"

“You really are vindictive. Ah Jin, once this is over, I’ll send you to Zhuxi Town. I’ll leave some people behind to protect you and make sure no one hurts you.” Wei Shu patted Jiang Jin’s hair. “Don’t be afraid.”

"You don't actually believe that, do you?" Jiang Jin suddenly laughed out loud. "If that were really true, do you think I would still be standing in front of you? You wouldn't be able to see me anymore."

"What do you mean?" Wei Shu was somewhat confused by Jiang Jin's relaxed demeanor.

“It means exactly what it says.” Jiang Jin whispered in Wei Shu’s ear, “Before you can react, I will be protected.”

"So confident?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Wei Shu's eyes.

"Of course, I never speak recklessly." Jiang Jin returned to the courtyard and told Li Niang to rest in a side room first, then took Wei Shu back to the room.

“If you’re really worried, you can investigate secretly, but I suspect His Majesty didn’t write that secret report.” Jiang Jin stretched and continued, “Given His Highness’s personality, if he had received the news, he probably would have taken me away long ago.”

"Does Princess Zhaoyang value you so much?" Wei Shu knelt down, took off Jiang Jin's shoes, and placed her legs on his lap.

"Don't try to get anything out of me. What happens between His Highness and me is none of your business!" Jiang Jin carefully kicked Wei Shu before collapsing into a chair.

"What about what happened between you and me?" Wei Shu gently massaged Jiang Jin's legs, showing none of his usual imposing and domineering demeanor.

"General, your words are rather strange. Is there something else between us?" Jiang Jin tried to pull her leg away, but Wei Shu held it firmly.

"My lady has been working so hard these past few days, I must repay her properly, so please don't move!" Wei Shuzhen began massaging Jiang Jin's legs, his movements gentle, but his eyes remained fixed on her.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this still the cold and ruthless General Wei I know?" Jiang Jin covered her mouth and chuckled, while Wei Shu intensified his movements.

"Wei Shu, it hurts so much! Be gentle!" Jiang Jin almost cried out as she glared angrily at Wei Shu.

"This is the lesson you learned for talking nonsense!" Wei Shu loosened his grip slightly and resumed his gentle movements.

"You call me vindictive? Then what are you, General Wei, with an extremely strong desire for revenge?" Jiang Jin stood up, reached out and poked Wei Shu's shoulder teasingly.

"I don't want to take another cold shower, so don't move." Wei Shu took Jiang Jin's hand and placed it beside his face. "Jiang Jin, why are you protecting me?"

“Because Da Yan cannot lose you.” Jiang Jin looked at Wei Shu seriously. “No matter what, you were carefully cultivated by His Majesty. If you die, there will be no way to find someone as loyal and capable as you in such a short time.”

"Is this the only reason?" Wei Shu refused to let go of Jiang Jin's hand, and the two remained locked in a stalemate. Finally, Jiang Jin relented and said, "I also have my own selfish reasons. I don't want you to die because of me. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Why?" Wei Shu slowly approached, and Jiang Jin felt nervous as Wei Shu's face loomed ever closer.

"Why so many whys? I just don't want you to die in front of me, is that so wrong?" Jiang Jin shifted her body, trying to create distance between herself and Wei Shu.

"Then can I take that as a sign that you care about me?" Wei Shu stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Jin with all his heart.

"Suit yourself. It's your own idea anyway, and I can't control you." Jiang Jin kept swallowing. Although Wei Shu was suspicious, his appearance was undeniable.

When he's silent, he exudes the air of a noble young master; when he flirts, he takes on a low, enigmatic air, like a mischievous spirit luring others into an abyss.

"Am I pretty, Madam? I'm drooling." Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin shoved Wei Shu away. "Shut up, stop slandering me!"

"You're really not easily amused." Wei Shu returned to his original spot only to see Jiang Jin pointing at him with her fair finger.

"So, General, which lady do you think is the most 'teasing'?" Jiang Jin asked Wei Shu, somewhat unreasonably.

"What, are you jealous?" Wei Shu released Jiang Jin's leg, and just as Jiang Jin tried to escape, Wei Shu pulled her into his arms.

"Do you like me even a little bit?" Wei Shu asked cautiously, burying her head in Jiang Jin's shoulder.

"Just a little bit, no more." Jiang Jin felt the warmth of Wei Shu's breath on her earlobe tickling her earlobe.

"Will there be more in the future?" Wei Shu gently stroked Jiang Jin's waist and slowly moved upwards.

"If you stop what you're doing, maybe it'll work. Don't push your luck!" Jiang Jin slapped Wei Shu's hand away.

"Can't you think about serious matters and stop thinking about these strange things?" Jiang Jin broke free from Wei Shu's embrace and threatened, "If you push your luck any further, I'll go find Her Highness. I'm sure she has plenty of empty rooms where I can sleep!"

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore." Wei Shu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "But you have to give me some reward."

"You're sick!" Although she cursed, Jiang Jin still gently kissed Wei Shu. "Alright, stop making a scene."

"General, we have successfully captured Madam Wang and her entourage in the secret passage. Would you like to go and see them?" Zhou Cong resisted the urge to knock on the door and simply stood at the entrance, speaking loudly.

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Jin pulled Wei Shu out the door. "Although you said you would kill without mercy, she is still Lady Wang. It would be bad if His Majesty blamed you for acting on your own."

"Are you worried about me?" Wei Shu held Jiang Jin's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Yes, so you need to take good care of yourself." Seeing that Jiang Jin didn't use any other excuses to express her concern for him for the first time, Wei Shu suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Wei Shu escorted Jiang Jin to the secret passage where Zhou Liao was holding several people captive.

"It seems some people are ignoring my words, or do they think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Wei Shu drew Zhou Liao's longsword and held it to the neck of the kneeling young man behind him. Instantly, a bloody gash appeared, and the man fell silent.

"Feng'er, Feng'er!" Lady Wang, kneeling in front, clutched her husband's corpse in anguish, her eyes filled with hatred for Wei Shu. "You've already used the death penalty without His Majesty's decree! Do you have any regard for the law?!"

"Madam, you are mistaken." Jiang Jin stepped forward to the crowd.

"Although His Majesty did not issue an edict, your escape shows your guilty conscience. General Wei only resorted to this tactic for the safety of the people of Bianzhou. If you were to go out and incite the people, it would be a greater loss than a gain." Jiang Jin shifted all the blame onto them in just a few words.

"Who do you think you are? I am a daughter of the Sun family, how dare you touch me!" The grief-stricken woman pointed at Jiang Jin and roared, "My father and brothers will never let you get away with this!"

"Never heard of the Sun family, they must have fallen on hard times." Jiang Jin ignored her curse.

“General Wei always keeps his word. If he says there will be no mercy, then there will be no mercy. However, Princess Zhaoyang is kind-hearted and can spare your lives. Zhou Liao will drug them to ensure that they have no strength before the imperial decree is issued.”

"General?" Zhou Liao glanced at Wei Shu, who was looking at Jiang Jin with a smile.

"Do as Madam says." Wei Shu didn't object at all, but simply watched as Jiang Jin methodically assigned tasks to everyone.

"You venomous woman! Wei Shu is insidious, and you are vicious; you are a match made in heaven! I curse you both to die a horrible death!" Madam Wang's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the man struggling to move forward before her.

"Keep a close eye on her. If anything like this happens again, you will all be punished and expelled from the army!" Wei Shu looked at the well-dressed noblemen before him with disgust.

"Ah Jin, let's go back." Wei Shu took Jiang Jin's hand and led her away from the secret passage. Re-examining the fresh air, Jiang Jin took a long breath.

"I just think killing one person is enough to make an example of them. If we kill them all, it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

Jiang Jin turned to look at Wei Shu, "Although you are currently enjoying the Emperor's favor, His Majesty is still His Majesty, and you still cannot be too unrestrained."

"Are you trying to bolster Princess Zhaoyang's reputation, or are you concerned for my safety?" Wei Shu twirled a strand of Jiang Jin's hair.

"I just made up an excuse on a whim. Even if it gets to His Majesty's ears, it won't harm you or His Highness. I wasn't trying to improve His Highness's reputation at all!" Jiang Jin looked at Wei Shu with some annoyance.
