Chapter 202: Just a Name
Two women were lying on the wobbly suspension bridge.
"Old Master, save me!" Seeing the old master, Zhao immediately burst into tears with a hoarse voice, "Chen Wan wants to kill me!"
Although she knew that the old tutor was Shen Wan's adoptive father, she still wanted to take a gamble. After all, among all the people present, he was the only one who could suppress that bitch.
When Yinxia heard this, she didn't care about anything else and started crying along with Zhao: "I am the Third Prince's person, please, old tutor, save me!"
It was originally thought that moving a large Buddha statue out would increase the chance of rescue, but when the son of luck was mentioned, the old master's face immediately darkened.
Damn it, that kid actually dared to ignore my words again and again!
I have let him go once, but he attacked Shen Wan again and again. This is clearly a slap in my face!
"Foster father, if you are unhappy, then I will let them go." Shen Wan deliberately lowered her head, pretending to be aggrieved. "I also know that it is difficult for you to be caught between me and the Third Prince."
Upon hearing this, Zhao and Yinxia couldn't help but look at each other.
As expected, there is a difference between the ruler and his subjects.
No matter how high-ranking and powerful this old tutor is, he has to consider the royal family.
If the third prince ascends the throne in the future, they don't believe that this old man will not be afraid.
"Are you trying to provoke me, little girl?" Seeing the smugness in Zhao and Yinxia's eyes, the old tutor couldn't help but sneer. "Even if I can't deal with the Third Prince, can I deal with his servants?"
Before he finished speaking, he slowly walked to the bridge.
"No, I can't die!" Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, Yin Xia was frightened and said quickly, "I am here to find the tiger talisman on the orders of the Third Prince."
"If I delay the Third Prince's important event, you, Old Master, may not be able to bear the consequences!"
When he heard the word "tiger talisman", the old tutor's eyes turned cold, and a thick layer of ice covered his wrinkled old face.
The loss of the tiger talisman is a court secret. This bitch actually dared to mention it in public. Even if he wanted to spare her life, he couldn't.
As soon as the old tutor extended his hand, the guards behind him immediately handed him a crossbow.
Looking at the arrow flashing with a sharp cold light, Yin Xia clearly smelled the breath of death.
She was unwilling to accept it, she really was unwilling to accept it!
She was only thirteen years old and she didn't want to die!
In extreme despair, she saw Xie Mubai's cold eyes.
"No..." Yin Xia was shaking with fear and looked at Xie Mubai with a pleading look, "Master, save me, I was really forced!"
Xie Mubai lowered his eyes and didn't even look at her.
So what if I was forced?
His momentary weakness almost harmed that little woman. He had long regretted it, so how could he possibly plead for her?
Regardless of whether Yinxia was willing or not, the sharp arrow pierced her throat accurately.
Looking at the blood gushing out, Zhao was frightened to death.
"Go tell the Third Prince that this is the fate of those who plotted to murder my daughter." The old tutor looked at her coldly with a gloomy face. "When we return to the capital, please ask him to give me an explanation in front of the Emperor."
Originally, he was still biased towards the Dog Emperor and his son, but they just wanted to push him towards Shen Wan.
This time, it is time to take a stand.
Zhao, who thought he was dead, suddenly lit up his eyes when he heard this.
That’s great. I don’t have to die or even go into exile. This is clearly a blessing in disguise!
Once they reach the Third Prince's place, she and Dabao can live a peaceful life.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely pass it on." Zhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
As she spoke, she climbed back from the bridge tremblingly.
Seeing her miserable appearance, a child couldn't help but laugh and said, "She looks like a dog!"
"Yes, and a vicious dog!"
Listening to the children's discussions, Dabao blushed.
Not to mention others, even he felt that his mother was not presentable.
Look at Erbao again. Ever since Qian passed away, his life has been so comfortable.
If my mother left, Fourth Aunt would probably be able to support herself.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao finally crawled back.
She gasped for breath and reached out to pull Dabao: "Child, come with me!"
As soon as he saw the dirty hand, Dabao subconsciously took a few steps back.
He thought about it and shook his head: "No, I won't go with you."
"Why?" Zhao was shocked. "If you don't go with mother, where are you going?"
Dabao didn't even think about it, he just pointed at Li and said, "I want to follow Fourth Aunt!"
Fourth Aunt has a good relationship with that ugly girl. As long as he follows her, he can also enjoy the same treatment as Erbao.
Upon hearing this, Zhao's face turned pale with anger.
She scrambled to her feet and slapped Dabao in the face: "You little bastard, how dare you despise your mother?"
"If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation today?"
"You have to leave today, whether you want to or not, you have to follow me!"
While cursing, Zhao picked up the crying Dabao and walked forward.
Although she was deeply hurt by her only son, she still couldn't abandon him.
"Leave the child here." The old tutor's cold voice came from behind.
Zhao was shocked: "Why?"
"How can you come back without leaving the child behind?" The old tutor smiled coldly.
Looking at the old master's sinister look, Shen Wan almost laughed to death.
I thought Zhao was a smart person, but I didn't expect him to be so innocent.
Who is the old tutor? Even if he doesn't kill her, he will definitely make her suffer a fate worse than death.
To walk from here to the Third Prince and then turn back to catch up with the team, not to mention a weak woman like Zhao, even a strong man like Hu Dahai may not be able to do it.
"But we won't be exiles anytime soon." Zhao looked at the old tutor with a puzzled look on her face. "Didn't you say you would pardon our Xie family?"
Although he had an affair with his wife during his exile, Xie Mubai did not write a letter of divorce on behalf of his elder brother.
In this way, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Xie family.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
"Foster father, I have another condition." She smiled and looked at the old tutor, "If you want to pardon her, don't mention the smallpox incident again."
Xie Mubai also nodded slightly: "I will write a letter of divorce on behalf of my eldest brother. Our Xie family cannot tolerate a woman with such a chaotic private life."
"But she's on the imperial court's list of exiles. I think it's necessary to escort her to the Northwest, otherwise it will be difficult to report to the officials."
After the Scarface incident, he also thought about writing a letter of divorce for his elder brother.
But when he thought of Dabao, he gave up again.
Now Zhao wanted to use the Xie family's influence to get rid of her status as a fugitive, but he was determined not to allow this.
Upon hearing what the young couple said, Zhao was so angry that she wanted to swear.
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and snatched Dabao away, shouting angrily: "Get out of here!"
Zhao glanced at Dabao and could only grit her teeth and move forward.
But at this moment, the old tutor's voice rang in her ears again: "Wan'er, your adoptive father has promised you."
"Isn't it just the title of Duke of Zhenguo? It's just an empty title. I'll give it to that little fox!"
After hearing this, Zhao felt a fishy taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
