As the night deepened, the camp gradually returned to peace.

Jiang Yanwan finally fell asleep, but was awakened by a faint knock on the door. She got up, put on her clothes, walked to the door, and carefully opened the curtain. The person standing outside was An Lingxue.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yanwan frowned, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

An Lingxue sneered: "I'm not here to chat, I have something important to discuss with you."

Jiang Yanwan walked out of the tent silently and followed An Lingxue to an open space outside the camp. The night was as dark as ink, with twinkling stars, but the atmosphere between the two was particularly tense.

"Tell me what's the matter." Jiang Yanwan spoke first, breaking the silence.

An Lingxue looked straight at her and said coldly: "Jiang Yanwan, I know you have feelings for Wu Junyao, but have you ever considered that he already has someone in his heart?"

Jiang Yanwan was shocked, but she forced herself to remain calm: "I know very well what Governor Wu means. Besides, there is no shameful relationship between us."

An Lingxue's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Do you think you know it well? In fact, I am pregnant with Wu Junyao's child."

Jiang Yanwan felt a buzzing in her head, her steps swayed, and she could hardly stand. She asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

An Lingxue approached step by step, her tone aggressive: "You heard it right. Wu Junyao and I have already had a substantive relationship. If you still have self-respect, you should take the initiative to leave and stop pestering me."

Jiang Yanwan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, but she still managed to say, "How do you prove that what you said is true?"

An Lingxue sneered: "One day you will understand, I just told you this fact in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. Now please make your own choice, do you want to be abandoned in embarrassment, or leave with dignity?"

After saying that, An Lingxue turned and left, leaving Jiang Yanwan standing there alone, tears quietly falling.

next morning

As soon as the sun rose, Jiang Yanwan went straight to Wu Junyao's tent. She kept adjusting her mentality to make herself look calmer.

Wu Junyao saw that she looked pale and asked with concern: "Yan Wan, what happened?"

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and asked directly: "General Wu, An Lingxue told me last night that she is pregnant with your child. Is this true?"

Wu Junyao's expression changed, and he was obviously a little flustered: "Yan Wan, this matter...actually..."

Jiang Yanwan felt a pain in her heart, and her voice was choked with sobs: "You don't have to explain, I just want to know the truth."

Wu Junyao sighed, held her hand, and said with difficulty: "It is true that Ling Xue once expressed her feelings to me, but this child... is really not mine."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Jiang Yanwan's eyes: "Then why did she say that?"

Wu Junyao shook his head: "I don't know why she did this, but I swear, she and I have never done anything beyond the limit."

Jiang Yanwan had mixed feelings in her heart, but she finally chose to believe him: "Okay, I believe you."

However, the doubts in her heart had not completely dissipated. Jiang Yanwan returned to her tent, still feeling confused and uneasy.

a few days later.

The war came to a temporary end, and order began to gradually return to the camp. Jiang Yanwan, Xiao Xiangzi and others worked together to continue handling various affairs.

One night, Jiang Yanwan was walking alone at the edge of the camp when she was suddenly grabbed by a hand. She screamed and turned around to see that it was An Lingxue.

"You haven't given up yet?" Jiang Yanwan couldn't break free and could only look at her coldly.

An Lingxue sneered: "It seems that you are still stubborn, but you can't run away."

Jiang Yanwan said angrily: "What on earth do you want to do?"

An Lingxue smiled even more: "I want you to understand that he belongs to me, and you can never replace me."

At this moment, a deep voice came from the side: "Let her go!"

They both turned around at the same time and saw Wu Junyao walking towards them quickly with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

An Lingxue was stunned, but quickly regained her composure: "General Wu, this is just a small dispute between women, there is no need to take it so seriously."

Wu Junyao's eyes were cold: "Ling Xue, if you continue like this, I can't tolerate you anymore."

An Lingxue gritted her teeth, but finally let go of Jiang Yanwan's hand and left angrily.

Wu Junyao returned to his tent, but his thoughts could not calm down.

He couldn't help but think back to what had happened before, his heart full of doubts and worries.

An Lingxue's sudden appearance and frequent provocations clearly had an intention.

Jiang Yanwan's firm trust made him unwilling to be easily shaken, and her gentleness and kindness made him unable to ignore.

That night

The camp was brightly lit, and doctors were rushing between the tents. Within a few hours, An Lingxue was screaming that she had unbearable abdominal pain and almost had a miscarriage. The news quickly spread throughout the camp.

Wu Junyao rushed into the doctor's tent and saw An Lingxue's pale face and cold sweat on her forehead. He asked angrily, "What's going on?"

The doctor looked solemn and whispered, "General, Miss An's life is indeed hanging by a thread. She must rest and not be frightened again."

As soon as An Lingxue saw Wu Junyao, she immediately burst into tears and choked up, "Wu Junyao, you have to make the decision for me. All of this is caused by Jiang Yanwan!"

Wu Junyao's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice: "What evidence do you have?"

An Lingxue stretched out her hand weakly, tears falling like rain: "Just after you left, she pushed me to the edge of the camp again. I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and was about to collapse. I suspect she poisoned me!"

The doctor was also shocked when he heard this and started to check immediately. Wu Junyao was in a complicated mood. His years of battlefield experience told him that there must be something fishy going on. He turned around and ordered, "Come here, call Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Yanwan was processing paperwork in the tent. When she heard the soldiers calling her outside the tent, she walked out without knowing why. "What happened?"

A soldier stepped forward quickly and said solemnly, "Doctor Jiang, Governor Wu has something urgent to discuss with you. Please go to the doctor's tent immediately."

Jiang Yanwan was stunned when she heard this. She felt that something was wrong, but she adjusted her mentality and tried to remain calm as she walked towards the doctor's tent.

When Jiang Yanwan walked into the tent, she saw Wu Junyao and several doctors surrounding the bed. An Lingxue was lying weakly on the bed, looking like she was dying. Wu Junyao's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with cruelty and pain.

"Yan Wan!" Wu Junyao spoke first, his tone revealing a complex emotion, "An Lingxue said that you poisoned her and she almost had a miscarriage. Is this true?"

Jiang Yanwan frowned, looked directly into Wu Junyao's eyes, and said firmly: "Governor Wu, I have never done such a thing! This is completely nonsense!"

An Lingxue smiled weakly, her voice hoarse: "Jiang Yanwan, do you dare not admit it? You are really brave."

Jiang Yanwan responded coldly: "An Lingxue, I don't know why you want to frame me, but I will never sit still and wait for death."

Wu Junyao watched the two people confront each other, feeling annoyed, "Enough!"

The doctor then said, "General Wu, we found that there is indeed something strange in Miss An's body, but we need to further confirm whether it is really related to the poison."

Wu Junyao nodded and turned to Jiang Yanwan: "Yanwan, please go back to the tent for now. I will find you if there is anything."

Jiang Yanwan nodded. Although she felt very aggrieved, she remained calm and left the doctor's tent.

After several days of research, the doctor finally came to the conclusion that there was indeed an unknown substance in An Lingxue's body, but it was not a poison, but the residue of some herbal medicine. This made Wu Junyao even more confused and uneasy.

At dinner time, Wu Junyao sat alone in the tent, feeling depressed. Suddenly, a dark figure appeared at the door. It was Xiaoxiangzi.

"General," Xiao Xiangzi said with a bow, "May I have a word with you?"

"Xiaoxiangzi, please come in." Wu Junyao waved his hand, motioning him to come in.

After Xiao Xiangzi sat down, he got straight to the point: "I checked. The poison An Lingxue mentioned was completely fabricated. The unknown substance was extracted from a rare herb, and she was taking the medicine herself."

After hearing this, Wu Junyao's doubts deepened: "Why did she do this?"

Xiao Xiangzi gave him a meaningful look and said, "Perhaps, she wants to use this method to control you. General, this herb only causes hallucinations and discomfort, it is not fatal."

Wu Junyao clenched his fists, unable to suppress his anger: "So that's how it is, she dared to tease me like this!"

Xiao Xiangzi continued, "General, I suggest you explain it clearly to Jiang Yanwan to avoid her misunderstanding."

Wu Junyao nodded, stood up and said, "Thank you Xiaoxiangzi for reminding me. I will go find Yan Wan now."

Jiang Yanwan was sitting at the table, flipping through the book in her hand in a trance. Suddenly, Wu Junyao appeared at the door of the tent. She was stunned for a moment, then stood up.

"Jun Yao, is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yanwan tried her best to appear calm.

Wu Junyao approached her and gently took her hand: "Yan Wan, I'm sorry that you have been wronged these days. After investigation, the poison that An Lingxue mentioned is all fake."

There was a flash of shock in Jiang Yanwan's eyes.
