Chapter 76 Right in front of you

Song Wan'er bumped into the carriage. She didn't care about the pain and immediately rushed over to hug the pregnant Chunzhi.

Chunzhi was almost injured. Before she could react, she saw Huo Zheng's face suddenly appear in front of her. She almost screamed and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

The veil on her head was knocked askew, and the white gauze hanging from it barely covered half of her face.

Huo Zheng's gaze stayed in the carriage for a long time, and Chunzhi didn't dare to move.

Song Wan'er gritted her teeth and blocked Chunzhi behind her. Just as she was about to speak, the curtain lifted by the wind fell down, blocking out Huo Zheng's sight.

Chunzhi's heart was in her throat and she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Huo Zheng would discover that she was right in front of him.

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law..."

Song Wan'er was scared to death, but she still patted Chunzhi's back gently and comforted her softly.

Chunzhi didn't dare to speak, and could only use her eyes to ask Song Wan'er: Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

"I'm fine." Song Wan'er helped Chunzhi sit up, "Is sister-in-law okay?"

Harue shook her head.

The carriage stopped in time, and she almost hit the carriage, but was hugged by Song Wan'er. She was not injured and the baby in her belly was not affected.

"I'm glad you're okay, sister-in-law. You stay in the car, I'll go out and deal with it..."

Song Wan'er put on Chunzhi's veil, stood up and walked out of the carriage, and bowed to Huo Zheng who was sitting on horseback, "Daughter of the Song family of Dongzhou, thank you for your rescue."

She knew that the person in front of her was a noble man, but she did not dare to point it out and only called him a hero.

The moment the curtain was lifted, Huo Zheng saw the person in the carriage. Even though his face was covered by a white veil, he still had a sense of déjà vu.

Seeing that he was staring at the carriage curtain, Song Wan'er immediately said, "My sister-in-law is in the carriage. She is pregnant and can't get up. I am here to thank the heroes on her behalf."

Huo Zheng said nothing, just staring at the car curtains being blown up and down by the wind.

Chunzhi sat in the carriage, holding her breath in fear and breaking out in cold sweat.

Song Wan'er was extremely nervous and looked at Huo Zheng secretly, "righteous man..."

She was about to say something else.

The accompanying secret guard rode up and whispered to Huo Zheng, "Your Highness, we have the whereabouts of Miss Chunzhi."

"Walk."

Huo Zheng's expression changed slightly. He immediately withdrew his gaze, turned his horse's head, and went down the mountain against the wind and snow.

Song Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, her legs went limp, and she fell down in front of the carriage.

"Miss..." Uncle Li had just helped up the two maids who had rolled off the carriage when he saw the young lady fall down.

The two maids were bruised and battered, but fortunately they were not seriously injured. They quickly got on the carriage and helped the young lady into the carriage.

Song Wan'er had rarely left her home, so how could she have met any noble person with such imposing manner? She could only then force herself to express her gratitude, all thanks to the storybooks she read every day.

"Sister-in-law..." Song Wan'er was helped into the carriage by the maid like a weak shrimp. When she saw Chunzhi, she sat in front of her, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

This guy who has been looking for his sister-in-law is so scary.

No wonder my sister-in-law has been avoiding him.

"I'm fine." Haruji's voice was almost squeezed out of her throat.

"It's good that you're okay. Let's go home."

Song Wan'er touched Chunzhi's hand, which was extremely cold. She quickly picked up the hot water bottle beside her and held it together with Chunzhi's, so that they could keep each other warm.

Song Wan'er said to the two maids, "Jinshu, Luoshang, you two should sit down too."

Jinshu and Luo Shang sat down obediently.

The driver calmed the horses and started driving again. At this time, the carriages that had collided with each other in front were almost separated. The mountain road was cleared, and the driver slowly drove the carriage down the mountain.

After returning to the Song residence, Song Wan'er immediately asked two maids to go to the doctor to see the wound, and then took Chunzhi to see Song Anlan.

Song Wan'er said that she was frightened today and needed her brother to comfort her.

She also said to Chunzhi: "Sister-in-law was also frightened today. I will ask my brother to comfort you."

Chunzhi heard: "..."

Song Anlan has been feeling a little better these past two days. He was checking the account books with the managers. While he was talking, he coughed lightly from time to time.

Fortunately, I didn't cough up blood.

Song Wan'er pulled Chunzhi to peek out of the window. When Song Anlan saw this, he closed the account book and asked the managers to leave first.

All the stewards left one after another.

The room suddenly became empty.

Song Wan'er took Chunzhi and walked inside. They came to Song Anlan's bed and said as they walked, "Brother, my sister-in-law and I went to Wanhua Temple to burn incense today. We ran into the person who had been looking for her. On the way down the mountain, the carriage almost overturned..."

Song Wan'er said as she sat down beside Song Anlan's couch.

Song Anlan looked at his sister tenderly, "The roads were slippery on snowy days, and the carriage had trouble moving. Were you hurt when it almost flipped over?"

"Jinshu and Luo Shang were injured, but my sister-in-law and I are fine." Song Wan'er said, "When the carriage almost overturned, the person who had been looking for my sister-in-law pulled the reins in time and stopped the carriage. I hugged my sister-in-law and prevented her from getting hurt."

Song Anlan raised his eyes to look at Chunzhi. Seeing her pale face, he knew she was frightened. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Song Wan'er quickly say, "Sister-in-law was almost discovered by that person, but I stopped her and hid it from him."

Song Wan'er was very scared at that time, but now she felt a little proud when she talked about it with her brother.

She was so smart that she protected her sister-in-law right under the nose of that noble man.

Chunzhi also said, "Today is all thanks to Wan'er."

Upon hearing this, Song Wan'er raised her chin even higher.

Song Anlan smiled and said, "Wan'er has grown up and knows how to protect others."

"Of course." Song Wan'er looked like a little girl who hadn't grown up in front of her brother, with an innocent smile. She said to her brother, "I got a very good fortune stick for you at Wanhua Temple today. The stick said that you won't die. Maybe if you marry my sister-in-law, your illness will be cured..."

Song Anlan said with a gentle look, "With the auspicious fortune that Wan'er prayed for me, all my illnesses will surely be cured."

Song Wan'er liked hearing this, and she pulled Song Anlan's sleeve and started to act coquettishly, "I was scared today, brother, please comfort me."

As she spoke, she leaned her head in front of Song Anlan.

Song Wan'er seemed to be used to doing this kind of action and was very skilled at it.

Song Anlan raised his hand and touched her head, "Brother, pat your head, Wan'er will be fine."

"Brother is the best." Song Wan'er was coaxed and stood up contentedly. Her brother said, "Sister-in-law, talk to you for a while. I'll go see Jinshu and Luo Shang."

Song Wan'er said as she walked out. When she was almost at the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "Brother, my sister-in-law was also scared today. You have to comfort her too."

Chunzhi was speechless for a moment: "..."

Song Wan'er left after she finished speaking.

Song Anlan looked at Chunzhi with gentle eyes, "Come and sit down."

Chunzhi slowly sat down beside the couch.

Song Anlan said gently, "Come closer."

Chunzhi didn't say anything and moved forward again.

Snow is blowing outside the door.

There was a fire in the house, and it was warm.

Song Anlan raised his hand, gently touched Chunzhi's head, and said softly: "Brother, pat your head, Chunzhi will be fine."
