Chapter 200: Falling into a Trap

Looking at the cold whip, Zhao shuddered subconsciously.

She was afraid of being beaten, but she was even more afraid of crossing the bridge.

Perhaps no one knew better than her how dangerous that bridge was.

"Why don't he go!" Hu Dahai grinned sinisterly, but the whip in his hand was pointed at Dabao.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and she blurted out subconsciously: "I'll go!"

Isn't the reason why she lives and endures humiliation for the sake of her children?

If anything happened to Dabao, she would definitely not survive.

Yinxia was delighted.

She quickly pretended to be well-behaved and looked at Shen Wan: "Since the eldest lady is going to explore the way, then does this servant not have to go?"

Shen Wan glanced at her and sneered, “You are a servant of the Xie family, you will have to take care of the eldest lady more later.”

Haha, the play has reached this point, how could she let the protagonist leave the stage?

Yinxia's face turned pale.

"Young Master..." She was crying and looked at Xie Mubai nervously.

She has been taking care of this sickly pretty boy for several years. Even if she has no credit for it, she has worked hard. He shouldn't just watch her take this risk.

Although he has a cold temper, he is very nice to the servants in the mansion.

Xie Mubai didn't even look at her, and said expressionlessly: "Young Madam is right, you are a servant of the Xie family, and you have the obligation to take care of the eldest lady."

Yinxia wanted to say something, but Hu Dahai kicked her onto the suspension bridge.

She stumbled and fell directly onto the cold wooden boards.

Through the gaps in the wooden boards, you can see the rushing river water.

Yinxia was so frightened that her face turned pale as death, and she felt a warm liquid flowing down her legs.

Suddenly, the hot and humid air was filled with an unpleasant smell of urine.

"Master, save me!" Yin Xia trembled all over and shouted in despair.

After hearing this, Shen Wan subconsciously glanced at the villain.

He had a gloomy face, and there was no expression on his cold face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

He never shows mercy to evildoers.

Zhao stood behind Yinxia and helped her up tremblingly.

Her voice was hoarse and trembling violently: "Let's go."

What else can I do if I don’t leave?

Now Hu Dahai is blocking the bridge with a whip, making it absolutely impossible to return.

If I died, with Li's kind and gentle nature, she would definitely not ignore Dabao.

When Zhao thought of Dabao, her heart ached.

But she didn't dare look back, for fear that if she did she would lose the courage to go on.

"Then you are in front!" Yin Xia said immediately with a turn of his eyes.

Zhao was already in a bad mood, and she couldn't help but get annoyed when she saw a servant dare to yell at her.

Her eyebrows were raised, and she shouted sternly, "How dare a servant like you order your master around?"

"I am a servant bought by the young lady, not yours!" Yin Xia retorted, unwilling to be outdone.

In the past, I might have been afraid of this noble and dignified lady, but now, one is a convict and the other is a slave, neither of them is more noble than the other.

Besides, this bad idea was proposed by this woman. It was clearly her poor planning that got herself into trouble.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's eyes turned red.

She gritted her teeth, waved her hand and slapped Yin Xia.

The sudden slap stunned Yin Xia.

"Bitch, how dare you hit me!" Her eyes turned red, and she reached out to pull Zhao's hair. "You didn't even take a piss to look in the mirror, do you think you have the guts to hit me?"

"You are not a faithful wife. I don't know how many men you've been with along the way. Yet you still have the nerve to call yourself my master!"

The extremely vicious words stabbed Zhao's heart like a sharp knife.

If it were in the past, she, who came from a prominent family, would have just endured it silently.

But after going through all that, she no longer knew what shame was.

"You're the only one who's faithful to your husband?" Zhao kicked Yinxia in the stomach, cursing viciously, "I don't know how many times you've been sold. Who would believe you're a virgin?"

Looking at the wobbly suspension bridge, everyone looked confused.

Do they think the bridge is too strong and want it to break sooner?

"Stop fighting! Go explore the route quickly!" Shen Wan ate a handful of sunflower seeds while shouting maliciously, "Who's to blame if we delay the trip?"

When Hu Dahai heard this, he quickly drew out a long knife from his waist.

His face darkened as he shouted viciously towards the bridge: "Are you guys leaving or not?"

When they saw the long sword flashing with a sharp cold light, they were so scared that they dared not fight anymore.

Hu Dahai has a cold face and a cruel heart. If you make him angry, you might be kicked off the suspension bridge.

In desperation, the two could only glare at each other fiercely, then they scrambled to their feet and walked forward tremblingly.

The wind gradually died down, but the two of them were moving slower and slower, almost coming to a standstill.

They knew clearly that every step they took brought them one step closer to death.

Looking at the shaky suspension bridge in front of her, Yinxia's last line of defense completely collapsed.

She sat down on the cold wooden board and cried hysterically: "My Lord, please save me, I'm scared..."

Some soft-hearted prisoners couldn't help but have tears in their eyes when they saw this.

But because of Shen Wan's face, they couldn't say anything.

"Why are you so scared for no reason?" Seeing the strange look in everyone's eyes, Chen Wan sneered at Yin Xia and said, "Will the bridge break if we walk a little longer?"

"You...what are you talking about?" Zhao turned around suddenly, her eyes full of fear.

No, that's absolutely impossible!

She did this very secretly, there was no way this woman would know about it!

But she didn't know that Shen Wan had secretly ordered people to keep a close eye on her.

Shen Wan is not stupid. It is impossible for her to turn a blind eye when she knows that there is a restless time bomb around her.

"You know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not." Chen Wan smiled coldly, her eyes falling on Yin Xia's tear-stained face, "I'll give you a chance."

"If anyone can tell the truth first, I will let her come back."

"Otherwise, you have to get to the other side of the bridge today no matter what."

"If you don't leave, I'll cut this suspension bridge in half with one blow!"

Before he finished speaking, Hu Dahai raised the long knife in his hand.

Yin Xia took one look and immediately shouted, "I say, this woman did all this!"

"Last night, she sent a pigeon to inform the Third Prince, asking him to order his men to destroy the official road, forcing everyone to go through Lingyun Peak."

"She also had someone tamper with the suspension bridge. The steel cables on the other side of the bridge are almost sawed off."

"As long as we get there, not only will the carriage be heavy, even a three-year-old child won't be able to bear the weight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.

They all knew that Zhao was not a good person, but they never expected that she could be so vicious!

"Nonsense!" Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and she roared viciously, "It's obvious that you failed to seduce the prince, and because of love, you turned to hate, so you did this shameful thing!"

"Who said I have a secret crush on the prince?" Yin Xia was immediately annoyed when she heard this. "If I had any feelings for the prince, why would I have waited until now?"

"Then why did you run into his room in the middle of the night?" Zhao asked back.

Yinxia is indeed still young. In terms of scheming, she will never be a match for Zhao.

"I want to find the tiger talisman of the Duke of Zhenguo!" she blurted out involuntarily.

After the Duke of Zhenguo was killed in battle, the tiger talisman disappeared quietly. This secret was only known to a few people including the Dog Emperor and his son.

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Yin Xia regretted it deeply.

If the Third Prince knew about this, he would definitely tear her into pieces.
