Madam Li asked her to sit down and carefully wiped her face with a handkerchief. She sat down beside her and said, “I know.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me? I could have gone with him.” Shen Yijia’s voice was choked with tears. Apart from being sad, she was also a little angry. Madam Li knew, but she didn’t tell her.

Shen Yijia could not hide anything. Madam Li could tell what she was thinking. “Silly child, Brother Chen didn’t tell you because he was afraid that you would follow him. He told me because he wanted me to comfort you.”

“But I’m very powerful. I can help him.” Song Jingchen had thought of everything for her. She couldn’t even get angry. Shen Yijia was even more upset, and tears fell.

This was the first time she had seen Shen Yijia cry. Madam Li’s heart ached as she pulled her into her arms and patted her back to comfort her. “I know, I know that our Sister Jia is the most powerful. It’s just that he has something important to do on this trip. In addition, there are countless eyes watching him, and the mission is filled with danger. It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that he can’t let you take that risk.”

Shen Yijia said gloomily, “I’m not afraid.”

Hearing her childish words, Madam Li chuckled and looked at the dark night outside. “Before I got married, my father and my brothers often went to the battlefield.

Sometimes, they would even be called away in a hurry during the New Year’s Eve dinner.

After they left, my mother insisted that I eat with my sisters-in-law before leaving. At that time, I asked my mother, “Aren’t you worried about Father and my brothers?” My mother told me, “I’m a general’s wife, I have to do my duty.”

Madam Li paused for a moment and used her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes before continuing, “Sister Jia, I’m telling you this so that you understand. As long as we don’t take revenge, there won’t be any peace around Brother Chen. You have to be mentally prepared. All we can do is wait for him to return home.”

Of course, Madam Li was worried about her son.

However, Madam Li knew that this was something Song Jingchen had to do. It was also his own choice. The only thing she could do was to avoid being a burden to him.

Shen Yijia didn’t say anything. If she was weak, Song Jingchen should definitely leave her here.

However, that wasn’t the case. Although she had never fought Song Jingchen and didn’t know if she could defeat him, she could still easily deal with most of the people here, so she couldn’t understand.

From Madam Li’s attitude, Shen Yijia knew that she would not be able to get anything out of her. She walked out of Madam Li’s room calmly, facing the cold night.

Shen Yijia stopped in her tracks and returned to her room to pack a few clothes.

She put all the silver pieces into her pouch from the box containing the money. There were about 30 taels of silver. After thinking for a moment, she took out a banknote worth 100 taels of silver and tucked it into her pocket.

She carried the box to the desk and wrote a few words. Before the ink dried, she picked it up and placed it in the most obvious position. The money box was placed on it.

After making the necessary preparations, Shen Yijia quietly brought out the big horse that was sleeping in the stable. The big horse was about to snort when Shen Yijia quickly touched its head. “Xiaohua, let’s go find our beautiful husband. Be good and don’t make any noise.”

After comforting Xiaohua, Shen Yijia led it out of the door silently. After walking a distance, she got on the horse and turned around.

In the arena prison, a few men were sleeping soundly on the floor. Compared to before, the stench of decay was gone, and there were no squeaking rats. In short, it was much cleaner.

Rooster was dreaming about how he had successfully changed his name when he suddenly felt his nose itch. He rubbed his nose impatiently and turned around to continue sleeping.

Soon, the itch came again. Something furry crawled into his nose.

He was about to sneeze. Just as he opened his mouth, it was blocked by something.

He opened his eyes abruptly and saw two pairs of eyes staring at him. He was so frightened that he rolled to the side.

The person took off the cloth in his mouth. He was about to scream when he felt a pain on the back of his neck and fainted.

The two shadows in the darkness looked at each other. One of them stood up and grabbed Rooster by the collar. The person lifted him up and took out a letter that they had prepared. Without alerting the others, the person silently carried him out of the dungeon. The owner of the other pair of eyes followed closely behind.

After leaving the dungeon, Shen Yijia threw Rooster on the ground. She glanced at Furball behind her and said angrily, “Why are you following me? Go back quickly.”

Furball walked to Shen Yijia’s feet and rubbed against her, clearly trying to please her.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. “It’s fine if you want to follow me, but we have to make an agreement. Firstly, you have to take care of your own food. Secondly, you’re not allowed to appear in town and be seen by others. Thirdly, if you’re caught and someone wants to make you into a tiger skin cloak, I won’t save you.”

The reason Shen Yijia put the condition about food highest on the list was because Furball was spoiled. It didn’t eat uncooked food, and it wouldn’t eat anything that didn’t taste good. For example, it never touched Shen Yijia’s cooking. She wanted to scare Furball with the second and third conditions.

Unexpectedly, Little Furball immediately nodded like a human. It felt like Furball was trying to say, “I’d rather eat raw meat than Shen Yijia’s food.”

Shen Yijia was speechless.

Since she could not chase it away, Shen Yijia let it be. It was fine as long as Furball did not slow her down in her journey to find Song Jingchen.

Looking at the still-unconscious Rooster, Shen Yijia looked around and didn’t see any water. She fell silent. She shouldn’t have hit him so hard.

“Why don’t you pee?” Shen Yijia asked Tuan Zi tentatively.

Furball looked disgusted.

Rooster woke up from the pain. Just as he opened his eyes and before he could see the person in front of him clearly, he was slapped again. At the same time, a puzzled voice said, “Why isn’t he awake yet? Didn’t they say that we should fight poison with poison? Did I hit him too lightly?”

“I’m awake, I’m awake.” Rooster shuddered and rolled to the side when the next slap came towards his face, avoiding it.

The wind from the slap made the two strands of hair at his temples flutter. If this slap landed on his face, would he become disfigured?

Rooster held his swollen cheek and sat up. He looked at the person in the moonlight and immediately wanted to die. It was another grievance that could not be avenged. “Young Madam, why are you here so late at night? What’s the matter?”

“Do you know where my husband went?” Shen Yijia crossed her arms and looked down at him.

Rooster paused, his eyes flashing. “No, I’m not sure.”

Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. “You really don’t know?”

How could she believe him when he looked so guilty?
