Chapter 361 Sun Haining was caught
The leading man turned around, his face full of flesh and a hideous scar on his left cheek: "Little girl, mind your own business! This old beggar woman stole the silver from our shop!"
"I didn't..." The old woman raised her head, revealing a wrinkled face, tears in her cloudy eyes, and blood at the corners of her mouth, "I was just passing by..."
Sun Haining sneered: "Even if she really stole something, she should be sent to the authorities for investigation. It is not your turn to resort to lynching!" You'd better get out now, otherwise, when I see the yamen runners later, I will sue you for abusing lynching and being lawless. "
The leading man wanted to say something, but someone beside him pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother, the clothes these two women are wearing are made of good material. They must be from an official family. We can't afford to offend them. Why don't we just forget it?"
Although the sound was not loud, Sun Haining could still hear it roughly.
The leading man said, "It's my bad luck."
Before leaving, he glared at the old woman fiercely: "You damn old woman, don't let me meet you again next time!"
The rest of the people followed suit and retreated, cursing.
Qingshuang squatted down and carefully helped the old woman up: "Grandma, are you okay?"
The moment she approached the old woman, a faint fragrance entered her nose.
The fragrance makes people feel excited, but it also has an indescribable weirdness.
Qingshuang was very strong, but somehow he was unable to help the old woman up. Seeing that the two were about to fall, Sun Haining had no choice but to step forward and lend a hand.
The smell also drifted into her mouth and nose.
She felt something was strange, but before she could think about it, the old woman had already stood up and was about to bow tremblingly, "Thank you, two girls, for saving my life."
Sun Haining remained calm and took Qingshuang a big step back. "No need, it's just a small favor. I see you're seriously injured. Let's go to the clinic and have a look."
The old woman waved her hands repeatedly, saying weakly, "No, no, I'll just go home and recuperate."
Because of the smell, Sun Haining became wary and no longer insisted: "It's up to you to decide."
"Qingshuang, let's go."
The old woman said goodbye to them politely, turned around and hobbled away. What Sun Haining didn't see was the strange smile on the old woman's face when she left.
Sun Haining and Qingshuang walked out of the alley. Sun Haining frowned and asked, "Did you smell anything just now?"
Qing Shuang was startled: "I smelled it, did the young lady smell it too?"
Sun Haining asked: "Do you feel unwell?"
Qingshuang moved her hands and feet: "Nothing unusual."
Sun Haining also moved her arms, perhaps she was just overthinking.
"Okay, let's go buy some snacks and then we'll go back home."
Although nothing unusual was noticed at the moment, Sun Haining still decided not to go to the rest of the places and went home after buying some snacks.

Fu Shou Zhai is filled with fragrant aroma and has a wide variety of dim sum.
The shopkeeper saw the customer and enthusiastically introduced the new longevity peach cake: "Miss, this longevity peach cake is made of high-quality flour and honey, and walnut kernels are added to it. The taste is unique."
"Also, the lotus cake in our store is even more..."
Sun Haining interrupted him impatiently: "Stop talking so much, pack a few packs of each snack for me, I'm in a hurry."
The shopkeeper was embarrassed, but it was obvious that this girl came from a noble family. The white jade pendant around her waist was something that ordinary people could not afford.
He didn't dare to offend Sun Haining, and quickly packed several large bags of snacks.
Qingshuang paid the money and was about to leave when she suddenly felt dizzy.
Sun Haining obviously noticed this. Just as she was about to ask Qingshuang, she felt dizzy.
"Girls, what's wrong? You look a little pale." the shopkeeper asked with concern.
Sun Haining and Qingshuang both understood that there was indeed something wrong with the smell on the old woman just now.
"fine."
The carriage had already stopped at the door of the snack shop. Sun Haining and Qingshuang immediately climbed into the carriage: "Go back home."
The driver, Uncle Wu, was always taciturn. When he saw them coming, he just said, "Young lady, sit tight. The carriage is about to move."
When she got into the carriage, Sun Haining tried to raise her hands, but found that her arms were so weak that she could not use any strength. She tried to use her internal energy, but it was like a drop in the ocean.
Who is plotting against her?
Who is that old woman?
Qing Shuang also looked anxious, "Girl, what should we do now?"
Don’t tell me she was poisoned by some strange poison. If anything happens to the girl, she won’t be able to live anymore.
Qingshuang was loyal, but she forgot that she had fallen into the trap herself.
Sun Haining was still calm: "Don't worry, I'll go back home later and ask my brother to come over and take a look."
At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted, and the master and servant fell into a heap.
Sun Haining looked out from the fluttering car curtain and unexpectedly saw a different scenery.
Tall trees on both sides of the road.
No, this is not the way home.
She realized that this was a trap set specifically for her.
Uncle Wu!
There was a shallow scar on the back of his right hand. She looked at it carefully and confirmed it before pulling Qingshuang into the car.
Was Uncle Wu bribed?
Or, has he always belonged to someone else?
"Uncle Wu, stop the car!"
The person outside obviously heard what Sun Haining said, but he didn't even turn his head. Instead, he whipped the horse and the carriage accelerated immediately.
Sun Haining thought quickly and took out the gilded butterfly hairpin on his head through the window. Qingshuang also understood what was happening and threw away everything that could be thrown away.
While throwing, he shouted for help.
However, this place was obviously in the suburbs, and no one heard Sun Haining's cry for help.
Moreover, they were so weak all over and their voices were so feeble that they could not be heard clearly from outside.
The carriage went farther and farther away. After an unknown amount of time, it finally stopped.
Sun Haining's consciousness began to blur, and the last thing he remembered was that Uncle Wu's honest face showed a ferocious expression for the first time.

After noon, the carriage from Duke Xin's mansion had not returned yet.
Madam Sun complained to Sun Huanzhi in dissatisfaction: "This girl, before she left, she swore that she would come back to have lunch with me, but now she is nowhere to be seen, and I don't know where she went to act wild again."
Sun Huanzhi smiled and said, "Maybe something happened and she has been very obedient recently. You must not wrongly accuse her."
Madam Sun smiled and said, "It's true that he is obedient, but it's also true that he is irritating."
"I must have sinned in my previous life. Neither of you two brothers wants to get married."
"Now that you finally agreed, I've gone through so much trouble to find you a wife, but you don't like any of them. I don't know what kind of fairy you're looking for."
"And your sister, she's not young anymore, but she keeps saying she doesn't want to get married."
"Even Princess Le'an is engaged to the Wang family, but she still has no whereabouts. It's really worrying."
Sun Huanzhi's mind was already wandering as he listened to his mother's nagging.
Why didn’t Sun Haining come back?
Shouldn't it?
He had already told his sister not to make their mother angry recently, and Haining would not break his promise easily. Since he had promised his mother to come back for lunch, he would not disappear without saying a word.
Could it be that something went wrong?
