Chapter 219
Song Xuan walked in front, with his guards behind him exuding a murderous aura. They carried swords at their waists, and ordinary people would feel weak in the knees at the sight of them.
Looking at Song Xuan again, although he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his noble and majestic aura was undeniable, especially his cold black eyes, which made people dare not look directly at him.
He approached He Lianxin and Yan Jinyong, and nodded slightly to them: "Thank you both for saving me last night."
After saying that, he waved to the guards behind him, and one of the guards stepped forward and handed him a bag full of gold ingots.
He said calmly, "You two deserve this token of my appreciation."
That heavy bag of gold was enough for the two of them to live very well in the days to come.
Seeing the bag handed to them by the guard, He Lianxin and her companion hesitated to accept it. They could tell that this young master was extraordinary, and they dared not guess his identity. They were also worried that accepting the bag would cause trouble.
Seeing this, Shen Qingnian took the bag and felt its heavy weight, guessing that it contained silver coins.
She placed the bag in He Lianxin's arms and reassured her, "Since it's been given to you, please keep it safe. Please help me keep this a secret, Miss He. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Feeling the heavy weight in her arms, He Lianxin's eyes flashed with excitement, and she finally accepted it.
Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan left together quickly. Before leaving, the guards carefully erased any traces of the two people in the room.
An inconspicuous carriage was parked at the entrance. Shen Qingnian stepped onto the carriage, while Song Xuan rode off on horseback, and the guards beside him also mounted their horses.
The man sat on horseback, his dark eyes cold and icy.
He looked at the carriage with the curtain still drawn, tightened the reins, and said to Shen Qingnian inside, "Yan Qing and Xiao Xi have returned home safely. I need to take care of some things. I'll come find you after I understand the situation."
Yang Weiquan defied the imperial decree; there must be more to this than meets the eye. He needs to go and settle things quickly.
Shen Qingnian nodded in agreement. The carriage curtain fell, the man rode away on horseback, and she also rode in the carriage towards Yanyu City, her heart filled with excitement.
Last night, she had no choice but to hand Xiao Xi and Yan Qing over to Zhou An. She wondered if the two children were frightened.
I wonder if Xiaoxi and her mother will be afraid when they find out they're going to the capital...

Inside the Shen residence, as soon as Shen Qingnian entered the inner courtyard, she heard a pitiful howl and Xiao Ju's cursing.
"What are you yelling about? The doctor said to apply the medicine properly. How can you, a grown man, be so delicate?"
Xiao Shenxi's serious voice also mingled in: "That's right, that's right. Brother Jin, you're so delicate, how will you serve Father in the future?"
"Miss, don't waste your breath on him. I'll subdue him. Quickly apply the medicine to him!"
One big and one small, singing in harmony.
Soon, Jin Yi's cries of pain could be heard from inside the room.
Shen Qingnian followed the sound to the doorway and saw Jin Yi lying on the bed, grimacing and crying. Xiao Xi and Xiao Ju were standing beside him, working together to apply medicine to Jin Yi.
It's less about helping and more about Xiaoju forcibly suppressing her.
Inside the room, Liu Yurou was sitting at the table, holding little Yan Qing in her arms, both of them looking reluctant.
Jin Yi was carried back just as dawn was breaking. Her body was covered in wounds, a sight that chilled everyone to the bone, and it also alarmed Liu Yurou and Xiao Ju.
Several guards in black accompanied him. The doctor among them set his bones, gave him some medicine, and then hurriedly left.
Before leaving, the guards revealed that Shen Qingnian and Song Xuan were safe and sound. Liu Yurou and Xiaoju were relieved to hear this and began to fetch water to clean Jin Yi's wounds as instructed by the doctor.
At this moment, Shen Qingnian walked into the house, and Liu Yurou and Xiao Yanqing were immediately pleasantly surprised to see her.
"Mother!"
"Qing Nian!"
Xiao Yanqing jumped directly down from Liu Yurou's arms and rushed into Shen Qingnian's embrace.
