The woman in white linen clothes was crying painfully in Yun Xiangye's arms, but she had shed too many tears in the past few days and her eyes hurt badly.
Yun Xiangye said, "Your husband certainly hopes that you can avenge him and live a good life for him. By sparing Fu Qianran's life today, you are also sparing yourself. As for those who insulted you, I will definitely avenge you. I swear on my daughter Nuonuo, can you believe me?"
Lu Qingchao looked at the woman in white and said, "Sister-in-law, how about you just believe the Crown Prince's Consort this time?"
The woman in white linen clothes cried loudly in Yun Xiangye's arms.
When Qing Ming arrived and saw what had happened, he slapped Lu Qingchao hard in the face. "I went to great lengths to ask the prince to let you join the Suzaku Guard in Chang'an as a guard, and yet you're so ungrateful! How dare you kidnap the future Crown Princess?"
"Cousin," Lu Qingchao said, "We didn't want to live in the first place. My eldest brother has suffered such a great humiliation. I wouldn't be a human being if I didn't help him and his wife get revenge."
Qing Ming scolded, "This isn't the way to seek revenge. I can't save your lives this time."
Yun Xiangye patted the woman in white on the back, then let her go and helped Fu Qianran up. She took off her own outer garment and put it on Fu Qianran, saying, "Qingming, take them away quickly. I'll just say that Miss Fu and I were taking a walk in the woods and fell into a pit, and my clothes are all torn."
Yun Xiangye looked at Fu Qianran again and said, "Miss Fu, please remember that no one is holding us hostage today. We just fell into the valley while walking."
Fu Qianran looked at the people in front of her and said, "Where are my mother's remains..."
Lu Qingchao said, "He's already been fed to the dogs. Raising a son like this and allowing him to run rampant and bully the people in the village doesn't deserve to have his body intact."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qianran fainted in Yun Xiangye's arms.
Yun Xiangye hurriedly called out to Fu Qianran and pinched her philtrum before she saw Fu Qianran slowly waking up.
Yun Xiangye quickly signaled Qingming to take his people away. After Qingming's people left, Yun Xiangye said to Fu Qianran, "Miss Fu."
Fu Qianran clenched her fists and said, "I can't let them go!"
Yun Xiangye said, "They let you go. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. They are also simple and kind. Otherwise, no matter how I persuaded you, you would not have survived."
Fu Qianran cried, "But those are my mother's remains, my mother!"
Yun Xiangye said, "The one you can't let go of is your brother. The accident with your mother's remains was caused by your brother."
The sound of horse hooves came from the forest.
Yun Xiangye saw a white horse slowly approaching. The first person she expected to see was Gu Yan, but as the white horse slowly approached, it was Xie Shian who came.
Xie Shian quickly dismounted, walked up to Yun Xiangye and said, "Cousin, Miss Fu."
Xie Shian glanced at Fu Qianran's tear-stained makeup, and at the tattered clothes she wore, even though she was wrapped in Yun Xiangye's outer garment. He quickly looked away and said to Yun Xiangye, "Cousin, what happened?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Miss Fu and I were out in the woods, and we accidentally rolled down the hillside..."
Xie Shian said, "Don't move here. I'll go find two sets of clean clothes. It's not appropriate for you to go back like this."
Yun Xiangye said, "Let's leave this damn place together."
Yun Xiangye was no longer afraid of encountering danger.
Xie Shian said, "Then you and Miss Fu can get on my horse."
Yun Xiangye had never ridden a horse before and was a little afraid. She didn't care about the differences between men and women and let Xie Shian help her mount the horse.
Fu Qianran dared to get on the horse, but she had just been knocked unconscious by the knockout drug and had no strength at all. She couldn't get on the horse for a long time. Seeing this, she looked at Xie Shian.
Xie Shian dared to support Yun Xiangye, but he didn't dare to reach out to support Fu Qianran.
