Chapter 47: My Mother is Back
"Lady, please save me, please."
Su Ying reached out and pulled her up, "Cry for a while, and then we'll talk when you've cried enough."
The woman choked on her crying.
Su Ying saw that she didn't react and thought that she had stabilized her emotions. "Tell me, what happened?"
The woman suddenly stopped crying. She sobbed and said, "I went to the city with my parents yesterday, but we got separated by accident. While I was looking for them, I was captured. When I woke up, I was here."
Su Ying thought about how when those people wanted to catch her, they drugged her the first thing. Of course, she held her breath the first moment, so that thing didn't work on her. The reason she pretended to faint was because she wanted to know what those two people were going to do. After all, they had been following her since she left the inn.
This means that Mr. Qian should be the one who trades women.
"Have you ever seen other women who have experienced the same thing as you?"
The woman nodded, "Yes, yes, they are locked in the back room."
Upon hearing this, Su Ying turned around and walked out of the house and went to the back room. She kicked open the lock on the door and walked in, only to find that there were at least a dozen women locked up there.
"Were you all captured?"
"Yes, yes, can you, can you get us out?"
A woman looked at Su Ying expectantly.
Su Ying frowned slightly. It was not difficult to take one or two people out, but it was not so easy to take so many people out together without being discovered.
What's more, even if she saved these women tonight, the cancer of Master Qian was still there. If he was not eradicated, other innocent women would still be arrested in the future.
"I will save you, but before that, you stay here quietly and pretend nothing happened. Do you understand?"
When the women heard that there was hope, they nodded hurriedly.
Su Ying left the house and said to the woman she rescued first: "I will take you out of the house first, and you will do as I say from now on. I can guarantee that you and everyone in the house will be rescued."
The woman nodded and said, "Thank you, lady. I can do anything you ask of me."
"Let's get out of here first."
Su Ying took the woman and left Qian's mansion, avoiding the guards. After leaving, Su Ying did not stop and took the woman directly to the outside of Ma Wang's mansion.
"Opposite is the Horse King's Palace. When it's daybreak, go outside the Horse King's Palace and cry... and say..."
The woman was a little scared after hearing what Su Ying said, but Su Ying said firmly: "If you don't go, you may be caught by those villains in the future. Think about it yourself."
Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and ran to the Ma Wang Mansion when it was almost dawn.
"My lord, please help us. Please, my lord, save us."
When the palace guards saw someone rushing out of the palace, they quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Who are you? Leave now."
The woman was afraid, but she gritted her teeth and said, "It was Su Ying, a woman named Su Ying who asked me to go to the palace to ask for help. Please, Your Majesty, save us."
The guards stopped as soon as they heard the name Su Ying. Su Ying saved the princess' life. This was no secret in the palace. Now that the palace's benefactor had come to them, they naturally had to report to the King of Horse.
"Just wait."
Prince Ma and Sima Chen were discussing matters in the study when they suddenly heard the guard come to report something urgent, so they let him in.
"What is it?"
"Your Highness, a woman just came to the door asking for help. She said that someone had captured her and was planning to sell her. There were more than a dozen people captured with her. One of them was Su Ying. It was Su Ying who asked her to come to the palace to ask for help."
"What did you say? Su Ying? Su Ying was also arrested?" Sima Chen stood up from his chair.
"Yes, I came to report it to the prince as soon as I knew it."
Sima Chen said anxiously: "Father, let me go, I will go to save them."
The horse king frowned. Sima Chen's body could not stand too much stimulation. "Don't worry, father will send someone to rescue them right away."
"Thank you, father."
Su Ying sat cross-legged in a secluded alley opposite the palace. After she saw the palace's soldiers taking the woman to Qian's mansion, she stood up, patted her butt and left.
She planned to exchange some silver to buy more things and then leave the city.
After Su Ying had almost bought out all the grain, oil, rice and flour on the street, she mounted her horse with satisfaction and left the city.
After leaving Mawang City, Su Ying opened the map she got from the palace and took a look.
Xiao Jin said that the nearest city to Mawang City was hundreds of miles away, and there was no place to get supplies along the way. Although the team's number of people had been reduced by more than half, the rations could only last for half a month at most, so they had to reach the next city, Yancheng, within half a month.
The terrain from Mawang City to Yancheng is very flat, and taking the official road or taking a detour is almost the same. If she rides her horse all the way, traveling day and night, she should be able to catch up with the team in two days.
Thinking of this, Su Ying did not delay any longer. She flicked her whip and rode away.
Inside the Qian Mansion, Master Qian had just woken up when he heard a servant panicking and reporting that people from the palace had arrived. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was caught by the guards who rushed into the house.
The women imprisoned in Qian's mansion were also rescued.
But the guards of the palace could not find Su Ying, so they could only bring the woman who went to ask for help to King Ma and Sima Chen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I didn't tell the truth before."
The horse king had a gloomy face, "Tell me, what are you hiding?"
The woman said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it was a female hero named Su Ying who saved me and took me out of the Qian Mansion. She told me to go to the Wang Mansion for help and said that if the prince knew that she was also captured, he would definitely help her. I did as she said..."
The Horse King frowned and looked somewhat displeased. Su Ying was plotting against him.
Sima Chen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was glad that she was not in danger. But then he thought, even if he asked for help, she was unwilling to show up in person. Did she really not want to see him?
Sima Chen felt a tightness in his chest and discomfort.
But no matter how miserable he was, Su Ying would never know.
Su Ying rode her horse at full speed all the way, and showed no intention of stopping even at night. After running for almost two days and two nights, she finally saw the team not far away.
At noon, when the sun was at its hottest, Li Da asked people to find a shady place to stay.
He had just taken a sip of water when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Everyone was attracted by the noise and looked up, only to see Su Ying riding a horse towards them.
Her long hair was neatly tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, flying as she rode her horse. At this moment, she looked like a general returning from a victory, without any trace of an exile.
The two little kids sitting in Xiao Jin's arms stood up excitedly when they saw Su Ying coming back.
"Mother, it's mother, mother is back!"
