Chapter 246 Danger is coming
Sun Ying has had a jade pendant since she was a child. The jade pendant is warm and translucent, and she likes it very much.
However, in an accident, the jade pendant was accidentally dropped, and she was sad for a long time. Later, the shop owner sent a batch of high-quality jade pendants, one of which was somewhat similar to the one she lost. She fell in love with it at first sight and has been wearing it ever since.
On the day of the house search and exile, Sun Ying luckily avoided the search in the chaos and the jade pendant was kept. During the difficult journey of exile, she wanted to exchange the jade pendant for some food and water when the time was most difficult.
Unexpectedly, that day, she was dragged into the woods by an officer who was escorting a fugitive. The officer had a ferocious look on his face and wanted to do something indecent. She struggled desperately but was powerless to resist.
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by. It was the secret guard beside Chu Lingfeng who came to the rescue. The secret guard was highly skilled in martial arts and subdued the officer in just a few moves.
Before leaving, he specifically asked about the jade pendant. Sun Ying vaguely noticed that the man seemed to care a lot about the jade pendant, so she made up a lie and said that the jade pendant was an heirloom and meant a lot to her.
Since the jade pendant was taken away, Sun Ying's situation in the team has improved a lot. Yuan Zhiqiang, who had been making things difficult for her, has suddenly become much more restrained for some reason. Even the girl from the Chu family has tried to get close to her, helping her with small favors from time to time and bringing her some food and clothes.
Sun Ying was confused, but she didn't know why.
Later, Sun Ying happened to see the man next to Chu Lingfeng. Seeing that he was very respectful to Chu Lingfeng, she immediately guessed his identity.
After thinking about it, she realized that this matter must be related to the jade pendant. Sun Ying thought that this jade pendant might be extremely important to Chu Lingfeng, so she had other ideas.
She thought that if she could use this jade pendant as a bargaining chip, she might be able to find a way out for herself.
Afterwards, Sun Ying took the initiative to propose a deal to Chu Lingfeng. She hinted that she had something Chu Lingfeng wanted and hoped that Chu Lingfeng could help her escape the fate of exile.
However, for some reason, Chu Lingfeng repeatedly ignored her and just looked at her coldly before turning away.
Sun Ying became more and more confused, but she didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Finally, the truth is revealed.
Chu Lingfeng's men found out the origin of the jade pendant and the truth behind her fabricated lie.
When Chu Lingfeng found out, he was furious and ordered her to be brought before him. At this moment, she was extremely scared, as she knew that her lies had been exposed and her life was in danger.
After hearing the whole story, Chu Lingfeng looked at Sun Ying coldly, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Because you returned this jade pendant, I will not kill you. From now on, take care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ying widened her eyes in surprise, unable to believe her ears.
"You won't kill me?" she murmured.
Sun Ying originally thought that since she had deceived Chu Lingfeng, he would definitely not let her go, but she never expected Chu Lingfeng to be so magnanimous.
"Get her out of here!"
Chu Lingfeng didn't want to listen to Sun Ying's nagging anymore, so he gave an order to Chu San and stopped talking.
Chu San stepped forward and took Sun Ying out.
Sun Ying looked back at Chu Lingfeng, her eyes full of gratitude and guilt.
Dusk was falling, and the afterglow shone through the mottled window lattices and fell on Chu Lingfeng's shoulders.
He sat in the dim room, his heart like a surging tide, difficult to calm, his eyes closed, his brows tightly twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, and memories of the past surged in his mind like a tide.
At this time, Murong Ling'er, who was far away in another place, had no idea about the circulation of the jade pendant that carried so many secrets.
The jade pendant that originally belonged to her was pawned by Old Lady Deng and somehow ended up in Chu Lingfeng's hands. Her true identity was no longer a secret to Chu Lingfeng.
Murong Chen had just returned from visiting Huo Jianjie's room and gently pushed open the door.
Inside the house, Murong Ling'er was standing quietly by the window, her figure outlined in a hazy light by the setting sun, and it was unknown what she was concentrating on.
These days, he keenly noticed that his mother's mood was always low, as if shrouded in a layer of haze. He was filled with worry and couldn't help but ask softly, "Mother, are you still blaming Uncle Chu?"
Murong Ling'er heard the voice and slowly turned her head. Her eyes met Murong Chen's. There was a hint of surprise and a hint of barely perceptible sadness in her eyes, but she did not answer immediately.
Seeing that his mother did not respond, Murong Chen felt that he had a lot of emotions stuck in his chest and he couldn't feel relieved unless he expressed them.
He sighed deeply, and as if mustering up courage, he began to speak to himself, "Mother, Uncle Chu really went too far this time! If you're still angry, don't hold it in. Why not give Uncle Chu a good scolding? Maybe you'll feel better after you do that."
As Murong Chen spoke, his face flushed slightly with excitement.
In fact, he himself was also filled with anger! In the past, they were so close to Uncle Chu, and his mother had done so much for Uncle Chu, taking care of many things without any complaints.
But who could have imagined that Uncle Chu would almost bring Grandpa into an irretrievable situation for a woman who had nothing to do with him? How could he not feel heartbroken? His past respect and closeness to Uncle Chu had now quietly begun to crack.
Originally, he was looking forward to Uncle Chu becoming his father, but after experiencing this incident, this idea in Murong Chen's heart had shattered and dissipated like bubbles.
Murong Ling'er looked at Murong Chen, and saw that his small handsome face had a serious expression of deep hatred and resentment, which was both cute and heartbreaking.
She couldn't help but laugh, and she reached out and gently touched Murong Chen's head, saying, "You little guy, you're so young, and you're already worrying about so many things. The complicated disputes between adults are not something you can interfere with."
After that, she paused slightly, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Okay, let's go downstairs to eat!"
After saying that, Murong Ling'er took Murong Chen's hand and slowly walked towards the lobby of the inn.
When she stepped into the lobby, Murong Ling'er discovered that the post station in Liuzhou City was far more shabby and small than she had imagined. The paint on the walls had peeled off, revealing a mottled surface. The air was filled with an old smell. The kitchen door was half-open, and she could see the busy old woman inside, her figure hunched over, obviously very old.
Murong Ling'er knew in her heart that in a place like this, if she ordered complicated and exquisite dishes, they would definitely not be available.
So, she whispered to the waiter, "Two bowls of white rice, and two simple stir-fries, please."
The waiter responded and hurried towards the kitchen.
Soon, the food was served on the table.
Murong Chen was a child who had suffered a lot, so he was never picky about food. He always ate whatever Murong Ling'er cooked.
At this moment, he happily picked up the bowl and was about to eat it, but suddenly, Murong Ling'er's face changed abruptly, and she slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Murong Chen felt his body lighten and he was held tightly in his mother's arms.
With a crisp "clang" sound, the dishes fell to the ground and shattered.
Murong Chen looked bewildered and completely at a loss. He subconsciously looked up at his mother, only to see Murong Ling'er's lips tightly closed, her jaw tense, and her eyes revealing unprecedented vigilance and tension.
Following his mother's gaze, Murong Chen only saw people coming and going in the lobby. Everything seemed normal, but he could clearly feel that danger might be approaching quietly.
