At this time, the sound of hooves could be heard coming from a road not far from the forest. Before Yi Lin could react, she saw Feng Yu Heng and Huang Quan stand up at practically the same time.
Feng Yu Heng was actually very anxious, but she did not reveal her anxiety for Yi Lin to see. Just as she dragged Feng Chen Yu into the carriage, she gestured to Ban Zou, who was in the shadows. Ban Zou had been with her for a long time, so he was able to understand her gestures. He went ahead of them to pick up Feng Zirui.
And the reason they were waiting here was for Ban Zou.
At this time, Huang Quan had already seen a fast horse rushing over on the road. That was Ban Zou. She hurriedly called out and waved her hand at him.
Ban Zou turned his horse around and rushed into the forest. Arriving near, he dismounted with a "whoosh" and picked up two other people. One was Feng Zirui, and the other was Qing Yu.
Feng Zirui's feet touched the ground and immediately dove into Feng Yu Heng's embrace. His small face was pale with fright, and his small body could not stop trembling.
"Elder sister, it's so scary. We ran into assassins along the way!"
She hugged Zirui and comforted him while using her eyes to ask Ban Zou, "Where is Wang Chuan?"
Without waiting for Ban Zou to reply, the originally trembling Feng Zirui suddenly raised his head. His face still looked a little pale, but it was much better than before. His mood had also gradually stabilized. He just looked at Feng Yu Heng and spoke like a little adult: "Someone wants to kill us. Elder sister Wang Chuan hid me and elder sister Qing Yu in a pile of snow. She fought against nearly 20 people on her own. I saw elder sister Wang Chuan vomit blood from exhaustion. In the end, she was taken away by bad people. "
Huang Quan's legs trembled. He was about to rush in the direction Ban Zou had come from, but he was stopped by Ban Zou: "Even I can't find him. What's the point of you going?"
Qing Yu was also scared witless. In any case, she was a bit older than Zi Rui. Ever since she had followed Feng Yu Heng, she had seen her fair share of storms. Although she was shocked, it was not to the point of losing her composure. She told Feng Yu Heng, "It's a group of black-clothed masked men. They seem to be very skilled. Miss Wang Chuan can deal with three or four of them, but there are seventeen or eighteen of them. We're not their match. Just as Young Master said, when Miss Wang Chuan discovered that something was wrong, she immediately hid us in a pile of snow. We could only peek through the cracks, but didn't dare to make a sound. "
Feng Yu Heng's originally calm gaze gradually turned cold, shooting towards Yi Lin without any hesitation. Yi Lin was caught off guard and nearly threw Feng Chen Yu away in fear.
"Master, what do we do now?" Ban Zou asked her.
Feng Yu Heng pondered for a while then said: "Put the horses on the carriage. We're returning to the manor."
Ban Zou had always obeyed her. Nodding, he went to put the horses on. It was Huang Quan who anxiously asked: "Then what about Wang Chuan?"
She patted Huang Quan's arm. These two girls had grown up together. Their feelings for each other could not be replaced by anyone. Now that something had happened to Wang Chuan, the one most worried would definitely be Huang Quan.
"Trust me." She did not say much, only telling her, "Wang Chuan will definitely return."
Huang Quan was still a little worried, "I don't know how badly they beat Wang Chuan."
"Hmph." Feng Yu Heng coldly snorted then looked towards Yi Lin, "Whatever those people did to Wang Chuan, I will treat them the same way. If Wang Chuan loses a single piece of flesh, I will remove one of their arms. If Wang Chuan is missing an arm, I will tear the culprit into pieces. " Her words sounded as though they were directed at Huang Quan, but her eyes were always on Yi Lin. After she finished speaking, she asked: "Little girl, what do you think?"
Yi Lin looked as though she had seen a ghost, as her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. Her mouth was agape, but she did not know how to respond. Saying yes was wrong, but saying no was also wrong. She began to regret helping Feng Chen Yu do these shameful things. If there came a day when she fell into Feng Yu Heng's hands, she truly could not imagine what sort of revenge she would receive.
"Get in the carriage." Feng Yu Heng did not wait for her to respond, as she pulled Zirui into the carriage. Huang Quan and Qing Yu followed behind, leaving Yi Lin to hug Feng Chen Yu and sit on the ground in a daze.
"Second, second young miss." Her voice trembled as she called out, but although the carriage did not move, nobody paid any attention to her. There was nothing she could do. Gritting her teeth, she wanted to carry Feng Chen Yu on her own, but she could not succeed after a few tries. There was nothing she could do. She could only place her hopes on the driver.
But the driver shook his head, saying: "Eldest young miss' body is priceless. I am just a servant driving the carriage. I do not dare help."
There was nothing Yi Lin could do. She simply knelt and begged Feng Yu Heng: "Second young miss is merciful. Please help this servant!"
Feng Yu Heng sat in the carriage. Her expression was gloomy, and her gaze was cold. She said: "For the sake of saving eldest sister, I have already been thrown out of the carriage once. My legs are in great pain, and I truly do not have any strength. Huang Quan is also injured, Zirui is too young, and Qing Yu has been buried in the snow and is nearly frozen stiff. If you truly want someone to help, aside from the old driver, there is only my hidden guard. But they are all men. If word of this got out, your eldest young miss' face would be completely lost. "
"This …" Yi Lin was completely choked by Feng Yu Heng's words. She wanted to say that with things as they were, face was not as important as life, but she could not make a decision for Chen Yu. The servant thought a little then gritted her teeth and mustered a great deal of courage to say: "Second young miss not saving a dying person, do you not fear elder madam's punishment? Master will be returning to the manor tomorrow. How will you explain this to master? "
A cold snort came from inside the carriage: "I have already said it. For the sake of saving eldest sister, I fell out of the carriage. With so many pairs of eyes watching, do you still not want to admit it? As for not saving a dying person, you must understand one thing. Once something happens to your eldest young miss, the first person to die is you. What do you think the Feng family can do to a county princess like me? "
Yi Lin was in complete despair. She could not outtalk Feng Yu Heng. This second young miss was truly able to turn black into white. When had she fallen out of the carriage to save the eldest young miss? She had clearly fallen out of the carriage herself! But if she insisted on saying it like this, there was nothing she could do. After all, aside from Feng Chen Yu, there was not a single person present that could speak up for her. But now, Feng Chen Yu … absolutely could not die!
In the end, it was Feng Yu Heng's final words that reminded her. If something happened to Feng Chen Yu, the first person to die would be herself! Thinking of this, the little girl immediately regained her strength. She no longer cared about young miss or not, as she simply grabbed Chen Yu's arm and dragged her along the ground. No matter what, she had to drag her to the side of the carriage. She then climbed into the carriage first before dragging Chen Yu in as though she was dragging a dead dog.
Just as Chen Yu's feet left the ground, the driver suddenly cracked the whip, and the horse began to gallop.
Yi Lin had been thrown in, but fortunately, Chen Yu was able to get into the carriage. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was very heavy. Feng Yu Heng had her eyes closed to rest, while Huang Quan's eyes were like knives as they stared at Yi Lin. Zirui had fallen asleep in Feng Yu Heng's embrace. Qing Yu was covered in the cloak that Ban Zou had given her, and she could not stop trembling.
Yi Lin did not even dare breathe loudly, as she held Chen Yu's head. In her heart, she prayed that the horse could run a little faster and quickly bring them back to the Feng manor.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of the Feng manor's gates. Yi Lin practically immediately rushed out. Upon exiting the carriage, she loudly shouted: "Eldest young miss has been injured! Quickly, someone come! "
There were many servants in the Feng family, so this shout caused quite a few people to come. The male servants naturally did not dare go forward. Some of the maidservants and grannies no longer had any reservations, as they hurriedly carried her out of the carriage.
At this time, Chen Yu had already begun to wake up, but she was in a daze and could not remember what exactly had happened. She just felt as though she was being carried by someone, and there was someone at her side repeatedly shouting: "Eldest young miss, you must hold on! A doctor has already been called. "
Her mind buzzed, as the pain finally surged forth once more.
She recalled that she had been bitten by a goshawk!
Once this memory surfaced, she immediately raised her hand to feel her head. This gave Yi Lin a fright and grabbed her hand: "Young miss, you must not touch it. The wound is still bleeding. When the doctor arrives, it will be better. Young miss, endure a little longer."
"What do I have to bear?" she cried suddenly, shrilly. "Why does my head hurt so much? Where exactly was I hurt? Where did that goshawk bite me? "
She screamed until her voice was hoarse. Her voice was so miserable that it could be heard by the entire Feng manor. Many maidservants and grannies held her down, fearing that she would jump up. Just like this, she was finally sent back to her room.
Yi Lin repeatedly advised Chen Yu: "Young miss, you absolutely must not move around. If you really touch the wound, it would not be good if it left a scar."
After she advised her countless times, Chen Yu's mood gradually stabilized, but the servants that had sent her over began to admire Yi Lin. Was this not just nonsense? The flesh had already fallen off, so how could it not leave a scar?
Feng Yu Heng was currently holding Zirui's hand and watching this farce. This child, Zirui, had grown quite a bit after spending a few months in Xiao Zhou. Faced with this sort of scene, he did not move in the slightest. The hand that was being held by Feng Yu Heng began to sweat, but his face did not reveal anything.
Because there were many people in the room, Yi Lin made the decision to chase some out. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng and Zirui were still standing there, she did not know whether she should invite them in or have them leave first.
Fortunately, the awkwardness did not last for too long, as the matriarch rushed over with the support of granny Zhao. Behind them were Fen Dai and Han shi, but Fen Dai nearly vomited when she saw Feng Chen Yu's appearance. Pushing Han shi, she quickly left. The matriarch did not approve of Han shi coming forward and said to Fen Dai: "Quickly bring her back to rest. It is not good to look at this while pregnant."
In reality, the matriarch did not dare look. Chen Yu's appearance was too frightening. A piece of flesh was missing from her head. Even if she was a beautiful person, she now looked like a ghost.
Feng Yu Heng brought Zirui forward and told Zirui to quickly pay respects to grandmother.
Zirui obediently kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Zirui pays respects to grandmother. We have not seen each other for many months. Is grandmother still healthy?"
Only then did the matriarch see Zirui and was immediately stunned. She did not know when exactly Zirui would return to the capital. She thought that it would be another two days. She did not think that this child would suddenly appear before her, and he would be so sensible and polite.
"Good child, quickly get up." The matriarch finally smiled.
Zirui obediently stood up, and Feng Yu Heng continued: "You should also go pay respects to your eldest sister. Eldest sister missed you very much. This morning, she even sent you a new set of clothes to Tong Sheng pavilion. She also brought along grandmother's earnest teachings."
The matriarch did not understand, "What earnest teachings?"
