Only when I got closer could I hear Rong Qingqing's voice.
"...Under the moonlight, Qiao Feng suddenly noticed something strange about Duan Zhengchun, whom he had just knocked away. Approaching to investigate, he discovered the man was wearing a human skin mask. Removing it, he was shocked to find it was none other than A'Zhu, who should have been at home waiting for him. Qiao Feng was stunned. Looking at the dying A'Zhu, he could hardly believe his eyes. Why was this happening? Why had Duan Zhengchun turned into A'Zhu? Alright, my mouth is dry. I'll stop here for now. To be continued..."
A moment of silence fell, then Feng Xin's choked voice suddenly came from the carriage, "Rong Qingqing, you can't let A'Zhu die, do you hear me?"
"I didn't make up this story, I can't help it." Rong Qingqing's voice was irritating.
"That A'Zhu was foolish. Qiao Feng wanted revenge, so naturally he used all his strength. With one move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, A'Zhu's heart meridian was probably severed, and she wouldn't have survived. It's pitiful that Qiao Feng finally had such an understanding and kind confidante as A'Zhu, but unexpectedly, he killed her with a single palm strike. After A'Zhu's death, how will Qiao Feng face himself?" Shangguan Yanran sighed, her voice filled with endless sorrow. "If only A'Zhu hadn't died, she could have lived a secluded life with her Brother Qiao in the borderlands. How happy that would have been?"
Rong Qingqing paused for a moment, then looked at their sad expressions and said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, this is just a story, don't get too caught up in it."
With tears streaming down her face, Feng Xin completely lost her princess image. "Rong Qingqing, it's all your fault. You've made us so sad and heartbroken."
Shangguan Yanran also said, "The part where A'Zhu was beaten to death is really too sad and regrettable."
Unable to bear the heavy atmosphere in the carriage, Rong Qingqing got up, lifted the curtain, and went outside. She then saw that the carriage was surrounded by people who were listening intently to her story.
What surprised her even more was that Xie Jingrun was also there, along with Feng Mo, Rong Yiyi, Xie Jingxuan, and others.
Seeing her come out, Xie Jingxuan snapped out of his reverie and said, “Mother… uh, what happened to Qiao Feng after that? Tell me quickly.”
Rong Qingqing was speechless. How did this kid manage to call her "Mother" without any psychological barrier?
"I'm thirsty, I need to drink some water first." As soon as she finished speaking, a water pouch was handed to her.
Rong Qingqing was about to take the water when she saw that it was Feng Mo who was handing it to her, and she paused.
“Didn’t you say you were thirsty? Here you go.” Feng Mo said, then frowned and explained, “I haven’t drunk from this water pouch yet.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing still did not reach out to take it.
She saw Rong Yiyi's eyes when Feng Mo handed her the water pouch; they seemed capable of tearing her to pieces.
Although she wasn't afraid of her, accepting Feng Mo's water in front of everyone would inevitably draw criticism, especially since she wasn't familiar with Feng Mo.
Just then, Xie Jingrun untied the water pouch from his horse and walked over. Seeing Feng Mo fawning over Rong Qingqing, displeasure flashed in his eyes. He forcefully shoved the water pouch into Rong Qingqing's hand and scolded, "Has no one taught you that you can't just drink water offered by strangers outside?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Mo's eyes darkened. "What does Commander Xie mean? Do you think I would poison the water?"
"The Third Prince is a man of noble character and integrity; he would never do such a despicable thing," Xie Jingrun said with a slight smirk, his words carrying no sincerity.
Feng Mo snorted coldly and put away the water pouch.
"Qingqing, here you go." At this moment, Shangguan Yanran leaned out of the carriage, holding a cup of water in her hand.
