Chapter 180
"Why are you here?"

"I..." She hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

Jiang Chen sighed, seeing how embarrassed she must have suffered a lot all the way back.

"come over."

"Oh." She went over obediently, and Jiang Chen hugged her and took off her shoes and socks that were no longer visible, revealing a pair of feet covered in blood blisters.

"Does it hurt?"

She shook her head, tears welling in her eyes.

In the end, Jiang Chen had no choice but to rub her dirty head and said, "Wait a minute, we can go up in a while."

She nodded, suddenly remembered the gunshot, and said nervously, "Marshal, they have guns."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly, and he comforted, "We have them too, don't worry."

"But just now..." She clearly heard the sound of a gunshot, and it was aimed at Jiang Chen.

His face became a little weird, and after a while, he took out an ugly purse from his arms, which contained a silver dollar and a bullet embedded in it.

Baimei felt relieved instantly, "In the future, I will make a lot of purses and put a silver dollar in them."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile, "Okay, you can make as many purses as you want."

They stayed in the valley until late at night, when suddenly there was a call outside, and torches were lit in the mountains.

Jiang Chen went out for a while, and not long after, a group of soldiers found him, and they were the officers and soldiers under Jiang Chen's command.

"Marshal Jiang, are you alright?"

"It's okay, how is the city?"

"Sure enough, as the marshal expected, Qianrenle is exactly one of the enemy's strongholds hiding in our Jiangcheng, and now they have taken them all."

"Thousands of people are happy?" After hearing this, Bai Mei couldn't sit still for the first time.

Jiang Chen held her down, "Don't move around, your feet are still not healed."

"But……"

"You have to have faith in me."

When a group of people returned to the city, it was still so lively, and what the people were supposed to do, it seemed that they had not been affected by the war at all.

Seeing Jiang Chen returning to the city, many people lined the road to welcome him.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, a doctor came to see her. She was worried about Qian Renle's sister, and she was a little absent-minded.

If it wasn't for Jiang Chen holding her down, she would probably have flown to Qianrenle by now, after all, it used to be her home, no matter how dirty and dirty it was, it had raised her for more than ten years.

Her feet were wrapped in layers of gauze, which made it difficult for her to move. Jiang Chen carried her back to the bedroom.

"You have trouble moving, so don't go. I'll go and see what's going on. I'll tell you when I come back. How about it?" He was trying to comfort her.

She still knew the seriousness, so she just tugged on his cuff, and said bluntly, "No matter what mistakes my sisters made, please Marshal to forgive me."

He paused, sighed, he didn't know whether he was angry or disappointed, "You have learned so many things, but it was all used to plead with me."

The whole night, he didn't come back, and she was like a frightened bird.

He was worried about those sisters and thought about what he said when he left. Was he disappointed in himself?Because she didn't fully trust him?
She fell asleep with tears in her eyes. A chill hit her in the morning, and she opened her eyes suddenly. It was the marshal.

It's just that his eyes were a little cold at this time, which made her shrink back in fright.

As if aware of her waking up, his eyes slowed down again, "Did you wake up?"

She shook her head, with some hope in her eyes, but she didn't dare to ask anything.

"I've settled for your sisters," he stroked the hair on her forehead, his eyes seemed a little tired, "but they also have to pay the price for what they did."

Her hand tightened, and he held it firmly, "I will give them a safe place, but the price is freedom."

She felt slightly relieved. This was the best way. If nothing else, just saying that they continued to stay in Qianrenle would not guarantee a stable future.

He turned her head, with deep eyes, "When will you trust me completely, just like I trust you."

Bai Mei was slightly startled, it seemed that was indeed the case.

He had long suspected that there was something wrong with Qian Renle, but he never doubted her. He knew that Jiangcheng was dangerous, and he would arrange everything carefully to send her away.

He has always trusted himself unconditionally, why can't she trust him?

"marshal……"

"Do you understand?"

"Ah."

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he looked at her feet that were wrapped like rice dumplings, "When your feet are well, we will hold the wedding."

Her heart beat instantly, "Really?"

"Ah."

She continued to live a life like a rice bug in the Marshal's Mansion, but her biggest hobby every day became embroidering purses, and she stuffed a silver dollar into each purse.

The days passed in a hurry, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye, and her feet were already healed.

Recently, Jiang Chen found several wives in Jiangcheng who were in charge of matchmaking, and went through the procedures according to the traditional ancient etiquette.

Sure enough, as he said, three matchmakers and six hires, and the bright matchmaker is getting married.

He found the best wedding dress master to tailor a dress for her, and informed the whole city that he would marry her on a good day and auspicious day.

Many things happened during this period, for example, the Zhang family collapsed, Qian Ren Le, the largest dance and music venue in the city, also disappeared, and Jiang Chen's ruling area more than doubled.

According to formal wedding customs, on the eve of the wedding, Baimei was placed in a courtyard in the east of the city, and soldiers were still guarding her.

In order not to scare her, Jiang Chen also found a little girl to accompany her. It was said that she was the fiancée of an officer under Jiang Chen.

It was very peaceful all night, and when she got up early the next day, the matchmaker came to help her dress up. After tidying up, the auspicious time had not yet arrived, and the sound of blowing and beating could be faintly heard.

One of the matchmakers suddenly stuffed something into her hand, and she was covered with a hijab before she could react.

She couldn't help but quietly opened it to take a look, it didn't feel like paper, it was hard and smooth.

As the whole sheet unfolded, the contents inside froze her with fright.

This is a black and white photo, and the person in it is none other than Bai Lan.

However, she looked very miserable in the photo, with messy hair and large and small whip marks on her body. Not only that, but in the photo, you could also see a soldering iron about to burn her body.

Baimei held the photo tightly, and when she was about to get in the car, the matchmaker supported her, seeming to be close, but actually whispering in her ear.

"If you want Bai Lan to survive, just follow our instructions. Qianrenle will teach you a lesson in vain."

"who are you?"

"Hehe, if you are disobedient, not only Bai Lan will die, but your sisters will also die. Maybe your future children will not survive."

"What are you going to do?"

"Under your dowry box, there is a hidden compartment. Take out the contents and put them into Jiang Chen's drinking water. If you can't do it tonight, Bai Lan's arm will be lost."
