I just want to live a good life

Chapter 368 Concubine Xia, Help Me

Su Nuan glanced at Mu Yunting and thought he was weird.

"Why did your highness lie?"

"I......"

It takes countless lies to cover up one lie. Mu Yunting regretted that he should have just said that he wanted to go back with her in a carriage. It was not something shameful. He knew that he could not get stuck in this problem anymore. If he did, he would only get deeper and deeper.

"General Xia went to the palace to see the emperor today. Do you know what he said to the emperor?"

Su Nuan's heart tightened. Daddy said he would ask the Emperor for a divorce for him. Has he already done that?

Didn’t you agree to wait for my news? The money hasn’t been recovered yet. If you leave like this, that vicious woman will get away with it.

Judging from Mu Yunting’s attitude, is this matter successful or not?

Su Nuan was nervous and replied, "Daddy must have been looking for the emperor for official business. How would I know what they said?"

"You really don't know?"

Mu Yunting stared at Su Nuan, not missing any of her subtle expressions.

Su Nuan also looked at Mu Yunting, wondering in her heart whether he wanted to divorce or not.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and neither could see anything in the other's expression.

In the end, Mu Yunting was the first to give in, and said faintly: "Forget it if you don't know. When I went to see my father, they had already finished talking about it. It was all very mysterious."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Then both of them fell silent.

Only the clattering sound of horse hooves messed up their thoughts.

"I agreed to marry Zheng as my principal wife."

Mu Yunting suddenly spoke to break the silence.

"I know."

Su Nuan's voice was muffled.

"actually, I......"

"Concubine Xia, help!"

A young man's clear voice interrupted Mu Yunting's words.

Su Nuan recognized the voice as that of Liao Xinyi's little medicine boy, and quickly lifted the carriage curtain to look for the source of the voice.

Then she saw Little Angelica running towards her carriage, looking extremely embarrassed.

He was dirty and his clothes were torn in several places.

"parking."

Su Nuan couldn't wait for the carriage to stop and hurried to get off. Mu Yunting silently protected her behind her.

"Danggui, didn't you go back to Xiaomian County with your master? Why are you back again... and in such a state?"

"Concubine Xia, please save my master. She has been captured by bandits."

As soon as he finished speaking, little Danggui burst into tears.

"Xinyi was captured by bandits? What happened?"

Danggui was crying so hard that she was out of breath and couldn't even describe what happened.

People were coming and going on the street, and many people were attracted by the crying and looked over.

Mu Yunting signaled Su Nuan to get on the carriage first, and then without waiting for Su Nuan's consent, he picked up Danggui and got on the carriage first.

Su Nuan knew that Mu Yunting was right to handle the situation this way, so she got on the carriage without hesitation.

Angelica was still crying, but her emotions had calmed down a little.

After all, he is just a child. He must be scared when encountering an accident suddenly!

Su Nuan took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie is here and won't let anything happen to your master. Let's stop crying. Tell me where you were taken away and by whom. Auntie will go find her now, okay?"

With Su Nuan's comfort, Danggui slowly stopped crying and recounted what had happened in sobs.

The story goes back to three days ago. Master Liao Xinyi and his apprentice separated from Su Nuan and others and continued on their journey.

When the two came, they followed Prince Guang'an's team and sat in a carriage. Prince Guang'an deliberately slowed down because he was traveling with a beauty. Every day, they would set out at noon and find a post station to rest when the sun went down in the afternoon. Therefore, Master Liao Xinyi and his apprentice had no idea how difficult it was to walk all the way.

When the master and disciple reached the foot of a mountain, they were too tired to walk any further.

So the two of them found a clean place on the side of the road, walked down, and ate something to replenish their energy.

"Master, why don't we go back to the city and hire a carriage before we go on."

"We have come so far. If we go back, all the journey will be in vain. Let's go to the next town and hire a carriage."

"I remember that when I came here, I passed this mountain and soon entered the imperial city. There is still a long way to go."

"But it's getting late now. What if we can't make it back before the city gates close?"

"It's all Mu Yunbai's fault. If he hadn't insisted on letting us ride in his carriage and refused to let the carriage company rent us a carriage, we wouldn't have to walk so far. Oh, so why did you leave without saying goodbye? If Master knew we were going back to Xiaomian County, he would definitely send someone to see us off."

"Speak less and save some energy."

The master and the disciple were chatting casually when suddenly several big men appeared from nowhere and surrounded them.

Seeing that these people did not look like good people, Liao Xinyi hurriedly pulled Danggui away, but she could not leave.

Several big men blocked the way of the master and disciple.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"What? Of course, something bad."

A big man who looked like the leader replied.

The others laughed lewdly when they heard what he said.

"Brother, this little girl is really attractive. Take her home and make her your wife."

"Don't mess around."

Liao Xinyi stepped back in fear.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. Brother loves you."

After saying that, a big hand was about to touch Liao Xinyi's face.

Liao Xinyi seized the opportunity and pierced a silver needle into the acupuncture point on the man's arm. The man groaned and could not lift his arm.

"Brother, this woman knows how to use hidden weapons."

"What a hidden weapon! Those are the silver needles used by doctors."

After saying this, the man winked at his men who had already circled behind Liao Xinyi and the other man, and the next moment two sacks were placed over the heads of the master and the disciple.

Then, before the two men could call for help, one of them was hit with a palm strike and fainted.

When they woke up again, they were already in a mountain village.

It is called a mountain village, but it is just two dilapidated wooden houses halfway up the mountain.

Those big men claimed to be bandits and stole the master and apprentice's bags.

The silver, silver notes and silver needles were all taken away, and the remaining few medical books were thrown back.

Liao Xinyi asked them to take the silver and release the bandits, but the bandit leader said he wanted to make her his wife.

Liao Xinyi naturally disagreed.

"It's okay if you don't agree. Just answer one question honestly and I'll let you go."

"what is the problem?"

The bandit leader asked a question, but Liao Xinyi kept silent after hearing it, and secretly winked at Danggui, telling him not to say any more.

In this way, the two people were locked in the wooden house for two days.

During this time, someone tried to take advantage of Liao Xinyi. Although Liao Xinyi's silver needles were taken away, she still had a hairpin. She held the hairpin tightly in her hand, and at the critical moment, she used the hairpin to pierce the man's acupuncture points. The pierced person covered his stomach and cried in pain for half an hour.

This man suffered a great loss and did not dare to attack Liao Xinyi easily again. Others were not so impatient and asked Liao Xinyi to think about the previous issue again.
