Mysterious Power

Shen Ling looked at Jiang Nan with eyes full of suspicion.

Jiang Nan's heart skipped half a beat at those words, but her expression did not change. "We got acquainted on the road. I once saved his life."

The matter of Jiang Nan using pills to save Zhang Chen was not some secret that could not be spoken of. Even if she said nothing, Shen Qiu would send word back sooner or later.

Jiang Nan recounted how she had encountered Zhang Chen dead aboard the ship and then used medicinal pills to bring him back to life.

"It was then that I formed some ties with him," Jiang Nan said calmly.

"You actually used pills to save him? What a waste of such precious medicine! You should have let him die on the road. That would have been better than stirring up so much trouble now. Sister, you've truly dragged me into misery!" Shen Ling complained bitterly.

"If I had known you disliked this boy, why would I have saved him? Back then, I heard that he was entering a political marriage with the Shen family, so I wanted to build goodwill with him and lent a hand. Who knew I would end up causing trouble for my younger sister? It truly was your sister's fault." Jiang Nan was a clever woman. She could call the living dead, and the dead living.

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Shen Ling was helpless. She could only grumble once more before the two women vanished through the distant archway.

Zhang Chen looked at the wotou in his hand, a chill flashing in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Big Brother, they've gone too far. They're actually making us eat the food servants eat. They don't treat us like people at all."
