Madam Xu cried and said, "The doctor said that Ting'er needs to rest, so we arranged for him to recuperate at the manor outside the city."
Theoretically, what she said makes sense, but upon closer inspection, it's completely wrong.
Even if Xu Qianting fell ill on the same day she and Ye Junfei fell ill, it would only have been three or four days, so the claim that he went to the manor to recuperate is impossible.
She looked coldly at Madam Xu and said, "Auntie, what do you want to do by tricking me out of the city?"
Madam Xu was surprised that she came to her senses so quickly, and immediately knelt in front of her and said, "Yan'er, I beg you, please save Ting'er!"
Lin Xiuyan frowned: "What exactly is wrong with Xu Qianting?"
Madam Xu's eyes were full of hesitation. Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "Auntie, if you don't tell the truth, I'm getting off the bus."
Madam Xu bit her lip and said, "He was kidnapped. The kidnappers said they would kill Ting'er if they couldn't bring you there today."
Lin Xiuyan sneered: "Lord Xu is the garrison commander of Yucheng, with several hundred soldiers under his command. Who would dare to kidnap his son?"
"Mrs. Xu, you don't think I'm a fool, do you?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't waste any more words with Madam Xu. She got up and tried to snatch the reins from the coachman to stop the carriage.
Suddenly, Madam Xu rushed over and lashed the horse's rump with her whip, causing the horse to gallop forward at full speed.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Madam Xu with a cold gaze.
Madam Xu's face twisted into a grimace: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Ting'er wouldn't have been captured!"
"They made it very clear that they will only release Ting'er if they see you. They came specifically for you!"
"Lin Xiuyan, you jinx! You've bewitched my Ting'er so much that he's unwilling to marry, and now you've brought such a disaster upon him!"
Lin Xiuyan turned her head and glanced at Madam Xu, then raised her hand and knocked Madam Xu unconscious with a single blow, throwing her back into the carriage.
She knew that this matter was unlikely to be resolved peacefully today. Even if she wanted to save Xu Qianting, she shouldn't recklessly rush in and confront him.
After all, she had no idea who had kidnapped Xu Qianting. The only thing she was sure of was that the kidnapper was very powerful, and Xu Shoubei was hesitant to act rashly.
She decided to restrain the coachman, snatch back the reins, and then ride back to the city.
However, she encountered enormous resistance right from the very first step.
When she struck out with her palm, the other party not only caught her palm but also struck her back, knocking her into the carriage.
The coachman's voice was somewhat cold: "Princess Consort, if I were you, I would be sitting obediently in the carriage right now."
Everyone in Chongqing knew that Lin Xiuyan was getting married, but few people knew that she was marrying the heir of the Prince of Pingnan.
She chuckled softly, "I used to think that princesses were like celestial fairies, untouched by worldly concerns."
"Now I realize that the once-famous Princess Anle of the Great Chu was so tasteless that she would even do something like kidnapping."
"What's this called again? Oh, in Chongqing dialect, it's called shameless stinking dog shit!"
The coachman's expression changed slightly, and he angrily said, "How dare you insult the princess!"
Lin Xiuyan said from inside the carriage, "Oh, so you really are that stinky, shitty princess's person!"
Coachman: "..."
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by her.
He snorted coldly, flicked the whip in his hand, and went straight to lash Lin Xiuyan.
He was very confident in his martial arts skills, thinking he could easily knock Lin Xiuyan unconscious, but when he lashed out with the whip, he only managed to suck out air.
The driver was somewhat surprised and turned around to look, only to find that Lin Xiuyan had somehow gotten close to him.
She held up a dark box in her hand, facing him, and smiled at him: "Give my regards to your stinky, shitty princess."
She pressed the button on the box after she finished speaking.
The driver didn't know what the box was, but he sensed a great danger.
He dodged quickly, but it was too late; he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder.
The carriage was moving fast, and when he dodged, he lost control and fell off the carriage.
Lin Xiuyan secretly lamented that she hadn't been able to kill him even after all that; this man's martial arts skills were probably even higher than she had expected.
She beckoned to the driver with her finger: "Come on, come and chase me!"
Coachman: "..."
His entire right side was numb at this point, making it impossible for him to even stand up, let alone chase after her.
He stared coldly at Lin Xiuyan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Lin Xiuyan pulled on the reins, trying to stop the carriage, but the horse galloped forward as if it had gone mad.
Before Lin Xiuyan could come up with a solution, several giant axes were thrown at her, cutting off the horse's hooves.
The horse let out a miserable cry and knelt down on the ground. The carriage suddenly stopped, and the huge inertia caused Lin Xiuyan's body to lurch forward.
Lin Xiuyan was thrown into the air, and she used the momentum to leap into the air, preparing to glide after landing.
Suddenly, she saw a large pit in front of her, filled with sharp blades.
She cursed and had no choice but to land early. She crouched down, took out the short knife she carried, and stabbed it hard into the ground to increase resistance.
In the end, she stood barely on the edge of the pit.
If she had taken one more step, she would have fallen.
Before Lin Xiuyan could even catch her breath, a large net descended from the sky, trapping her inside.
Before she could even react, someone pulled the large net, and she was about to be hoisted up again.
Lin Xiuyan took a knife to cut the large net, but found that the net was made of some unknown material and could not be cut with the knife.
A round of applause rang out: "Not bad, the Crown Princess's skills are truly impressive."
Lin Xiuyan turned her head and saw Princess Anle standing not far away.
He was wearing a snow-white dress today. He was tall with delicate features, and looked ethereal.
Upon seeing the person in question, Lin Xiuyan simply put away her dagger, sat cross-legged in the large net, and said with a smile, "Princess, you have truly gone to great lengths for me!"
Princess Anle waved her hand, and the net containing Lin Xiuyan lowered slightly, bringing Lin Xiuyan's line of sight to his.
Their eyes met, and before Princess Anle could speak, Lin Xiuyan exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "The princess is so beautiful!"
"Last time it was too rushed, and I didn't get a good look at the princess's face. It's such a pity!"
Princess Anle chuckled lightly: "You have a sweet tongue, but it's a pity that no matter how sweet your tongue is, it's useless."
"Because I hate people who are sweet-talking the most. If such a person appears in front of me, I will kill him."
Lin Xiuyan laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. The princess went to so much trouble to catch me today. She originally wanted to kill me."
"One more reason won't make a difference; I'm quite open-minded about it."
Princess Anle was slightly surprised by her calm and composed demeanor: "Aren't you afraid?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "I'm scared! I'm absolutely terrified!"
"But if I'm afraid, will the princess let me go?"
"If the princess will let me go because I'm scared, I'll immediately act scared for her."
