Chapter 459: Alone

Song Jin sat on a chair with a reclining back.

The wounds on the hands had been treated with medicine and bandaged, but none of the ten fingers were intact, so not to mention outsiders seeing it, Song Jin only realized the pain at this time.

But she could bear it.

Qin Chi asked someone to bring dinner.

He then sent the servants away, personally served Song Jin a bowl of soup, and gently placed it in front of her.

"Forget it, I'll feed you." Qin Chi picked up the soup again and picked up the spoon to feed Song Jin.

Song Jin leaned back and said, "No, I can do it myself."

"Your hand is injured."

Qin Chi looked at her hands.

It was indeed inconvenient for Song Jin to eat by himself now, "Just let the maid serve you."

"Mu Ting and the others have been busy all day, and they should be going downstairs to eat now." Qin Chi didn't say that this was his arrangement.

Seeing Song Jin, he still rejected her.

Qin Chi stirred the chicken soup in the bowl with a spoon, "Jin'er, we have done intimate things before. Now it's just that your hands are inconvenient, so I'm just feeding you some soup. Can such an ordinary thing make you mind so much? It seems that I still have a great weight in your heart."

Song Jin wanted to say that you were overthinking.

Qin Chi brought the spoon to her mouth again.

Song Jin subconsciously opened his mouth and drank the soup. "No need to take it spoonful by spoonful. I can just drink it directly."

If they are still husband and wife, there is nothing wrong with such intimacy.

None of that. Wouldn’t it be awkward to continue like this?

Qin Chi had no choice but to let Song Jin hold the bowl of soup with both hands, bring it to his mouth and drink it all in one gulp.

This was a real demonstration to Qin Chi. Her clumsy hands made it inconvenient for her to hold a spoon, but that didn't mean she couldn't drink a sip of soup.

Qin Chi was almost so angry that he laughed, but he was well-mannered and didn't let Song Jin notice his mistake. He took the soup bowl away and put it aside, then began to serve Song Jin rice and dishes as if nothing had happened.

This really puts Song Jin in a difficult position.

Qin Chi finally got what he wanted, and served Song Jin a meal, one mouthful of rice and one mouthful of vegetables at a time. However, Song Jin didn't eat much, and said he was full after only eating half a bowl of rice.

Then she sat aside.

Watching Qin Chi eat most of the remaining food.

After Qin Chi put down his bowl and chopsticks, he picked up a handkerchief to wipe it, and said, "Okay, Jin'er, if you have anything to ask, just ask."

Song Jin thought he had many questions in his mind. But when the time came, he didn't know where to start. "I think you already know what happened today."

"I asked."

Qin Chi called the servants to clean up the dishes, stood up, took Song Jin's hand, and sat down in front of another coffee table.

After the two of them sat down, the servant brought them the brewed tea.

Qin Chi waved his hand to signal the servants to leave.

When there were only two people in the room, Qin Chi said gently, "When Doctor Jing examined your injuries, I did ask the people who stayed in Beijing and learned that you had met Helian Kai."

He didn't expect that his mother would give the gold medal to Song Jin.

Let Song Jin come into contact with Helian Kai.

Qin Chi then continued, "Helian Kai has a mental disorder. He used to attack us for no reason. After he was captured, he once tried to spread a rumor that I killed my father-in-law. I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought he was trying to slander me and sow discord between us. Combined with what happened today, he probably really thought that I killed his father-in-law."

He looked serious at this time.

When he spoke, he was also very serious.

There is no intention of being perfunctory.

Song Jin sat in a dignified posture, quietly waiting for Qin Chi to continue.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Chi said helplessly, "I made a mistake in my judgment. I'm sorry. It seems that my father-in-law may have been rescued today."

Song Jin wanted to know who saved him?

The question is, if nothing happened to her father, why didn't he show up even after the rebels were defeated?

Qin Chi seemed to understand Song Jin's eyes. "According to my guess, the person who rescued your father was probably someone from within the rebels. The rebels are not immune. According to Lao Huo's judgment, the two dead people in the basement were killed by acquaintances."

One had his throat cut.

Another was stabbed to death from behind.

There were no signs of a fight at the scene.

After thinking for a while, Qin Chi said, "I suspect that it was someone from your Song clan who rescued him. There is a branch of the Song clan in Jianning Prefecture, and the Liu family is secretly training soldiers. Where did that person come from? The Song family members there will inevitably be conscripted. In fact, Song Xiaodong and his men played an indispensable role in our capture of Jianning this time."

Song Jin's thoughts fluctuated with Qin Chi's speculation.

The possibility Qin Chi mentioned is very likely, but I don't know if there was any accident during the journey, causing her father to not show up? "I will check this."

This is what Song Jin is most concerned about.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Now that we have a direction, we need to verify it.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Song Jin paused again, took out the token from his body and placed it on the coffee table, "Master Qin, please pass this token to the princess."

"Why not go there yourself?"

Qin Chi looked at the gold medal and asked.

Song Jin said politely: "I have asked, the princess has entered the palace and is not in the mansion."

"It's getting dark outside. Can't you stay in the mansion? You are still injured." Qin Chi didn't want her to leave. He could still take care of her here. If she left, it would be difficult for him to see her.

Song Jin bowed to Qin Chi and said goodbye. "No, it's just a superficial wound. It will heal in two days. I hope that Sir Qin can inform me in time if there is any news about my father."

Under her insistence, Qin Chi failed to keep the person.

Qin Chi pondered over Song Jin's last words, and a faint bitterness rose in his heart.

There is something else behind that statement.

I guess she found out about the fact that I asked her to leave and hide her father-in-law's affairs.

She didn't accuse him to his face.

But for him, this would not make him feel as at ease as being criticized on the spot.

…

Before leaving, Song Jin changed back into her own dress.

Then he took a carriage and left the princess's mansion from the back door.

Due to the cover of night, the vision was not very clear. All he could see was his daughter and what Song Jin was wearing this morning. Then someone who didn't know the truth passed the news back and made up a big gossip.

Some people "reasonably" speculated that Qin Chi brought a beauty back to Beijing from the south, and then his new and old loves collided in the princess's mansion, and his original wife became a thing of the past.

She was kicked out of the princess's mansion that night, etc.

Song Jin and Qin Chi were unaware of these rumors that were spreading in a small circle.

After Song Jin left, Qin Chi changed into clean clothes and entered the palace overnight.

When Song Jin returned to the pharmacy, he asked Song Jitao to write a letter on his behalf to contact several branches of the Song family. Apart from the Song clan members closest to the capital, there were Song Xiaodong and others who were far away in Jianning.

There is no need to ask about Song Jin, a branch of the Song family in the capital.

If they had any news about Song Kuan, they wouldn't have had to accompany Song Jin to look for him for so long. They haven't mentioned it to Song Jin until now, so they must not know Song Kuan's whereabouts.

Song Jin never doubted this.

PS: There is a mistake in the text. Li is a princess, not the eldest princess. I have revised the previous text and would like to say it here.
