Chapter 218
Shen Qingnian said helplessly but frankly: "Shen Zheng is ruthless. He won't stop until he kills me. I originally thought that I could live in peace after coming to Jiangnan. I was too naive and underestimated him."
With a family to support, she had no chance against Shen Zheng.
At this moment, the man opposite her spoke, his tone very serious: "No matter what happens to Shen Zheng, you must come back to the palace with me to atone for your sins."
He will protect the safety of his own people.
Shen Qingnian nodded upon hearing this: "I will obey Your Majesty's orders."
The only person who can protect herself and her family right now is the man in front of her, and she can see that his attitude has softened tonight.
She couldn't help but look at the man opposite her. His face was cold and his features were sharp. He exuded an icy aura.
"I will spare you the death penalty after you return to the palace, in consideration of your merit in saving my life. However, you will not escape punishment. Do not have any other thoughts, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Song Xuan's tone became somewhat sinister.
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian felt relieved.
Half an hour later.
After finishing the pancakes, the two prepared to go to bed and rest.
Looking at the small bed, before Shen Qingnian could speak, Song Xuan said first, "You rest first, I need to go out for a bit."
After saying that, he walked towards the door. There was no sound in the courtyard. He Lianxin and Yan Jinyong must have gone to sleep by now.
Shen Qingnian understood that the other party might be going to deliver a message. She nodded and instructed, "Be careful."
Song Xuan paused, his tone softening slightly: "You should go to sleep early too."
She suffered a lot tonight.
Shen Qingnian responded softly. After the man left the room, she slowly lay down on the bed, feeling pain all over her body.
She had used all her strength to kill the skinny man and stab the bandit in the back with her longsword. She had also carried the man for a while. She was exhausted and didn't care where the man would sleep when he came back. She fell into a deep sleep after lying down.

When Shen Qingnian woke up again, it was the next day, and the sky was bright. There was no one beside her. Looking up, she saw the man sitting on a stool against the wall, fast asleep.
He sat on the stool after he came home last night...
Before Shen Qingnian could think further, a series of heavy footsteps echoed in the courtyard, sounding like a large number of people.
The next moment, Song Xuan, who was fast asleep leaning against the wall, opened his eyes. His dark eyes were momentarily blank, but then they became clear.
Knock knock knock—
There was a knock on the door. Song Xuan looked at Shen Qingnian on the bed. Shen Qingnian understood and immediately got up from the bed. To avoid any unexpected situations, she had slept fully clothed last night.
Seeing her get up, Song Xuan opened the wooden door. There were about twenty guards dressed in black standing outside, including He Lianxin and Yan Jinyong.
Upon seeing Song Xuan open the door, these people immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Master."
He Lianxin and Yan Jinyong's hearts trembled at the sight. The next moment, Shen Qingnian stepped forward and pulled them into the courtyard, leaving Song Xuan and the others alone.
Shen Qingnian held He Lianxin's hand and looked at the other's pale face, soothingly saying, "Miss He, please don't worry, this matter will not involve you."
He Lianxin and Yan Jinyong nodded. If the other party was troublesome, they couldn't refuse at this moment.
Soon, Song Xuan and the group of people opened the door and came out—
[Song Xuan: I finally have a life-or-death bond with my wife. (＾－＾)V]
