Bai Yehua was happy, but also a little worried.
Shen Yu's words clearly implied that he would only agree to Liu Yao'er becoming a secondary wife if he ensured Master Mu's safe return. Well, that was the only way.
------
At 9 PM, the guests dispersed.
Shen Yu boarded the sedan chair through the back door of Tingyu Pavilion and headed to Chengyuan Garden.
Chengyuan was a villa belonging to the Mu family.
In her past life, Liu Yao'er ordered her to be dismembered into eight pieces, leaving no one in Chengyuan alive.
In this life, she will protect Chengyuan and defy fate.
Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped, and the coachman reported, "Miss, there is a carriage blocking the way ahead. Jiu'er has gone to check it out."
“Miss, Jiu’er asked, and the servant in front said that his young master has been poisoned and is inducing vomiting.”
Shen Yu lifted the curtain and looked out. In the dim light, she couldn't see whose carriage it was. She only saw a person leaning against a big tree by the roadside, retching, while two servants behind him kept patting his back.
This method of inducing vomiting won't work!
She couldn't resist her kind heart and went to help.
"Have your young master squat down and use this to suppress his tongue."
As she spoke, she handed the wooden hairpin in her hand to the servant, then stepped back and waited.
With the help of two servants, the man slowly squatted down after a long while.
Whose son is this? Could he be disabled and unable to move around easily?
She leaned closer to the carriage and saw it was from the Duke's mansion. Was that man Liu Yu?
Oh no! I have to get out of here right now! If passersby see her meeting Liu Yu at night, who knows what kind of rumors will spread.
She hurriedly got into the carriage, and before she even got inside, she ordered the driver to move forward, "Hurry up! Don't stop without my permission."
"Miss, your hairpin... wait, here's your hairpin back..."
Despite the people chasing and shouting behind them, the carriage did not stop.
------
Lanterns sway in the breeze in front of Chengyuan Garden, casting a hazy glow.
Rong Momo led Cuiwei and Cuizhu to wait at the door. The three of them returned to Chengyuan ahead of time and, with a group of maids and servants, tidied up the room.
Suddenly, a carriage came galloping by. The driver pulled on the reins, the horse came to a sudden stop, and there was a "thump" from inside the carriage. Everyone was shocked and rushed towards the carriage.
"girl."
"What's the rush? If the young lady gets hurt, how will we explain it to the master and mistress?"
Cuiwei and Cuizhu were scolding the coachman, but before they could even lift the curtain, Chenyu had already pulled it open and walked out herself.
"It's alright, it's alright. Hurry back, or the people behind us will catch up with us."
As the group entered Cheng Garden and were about to close the gate, the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside.
"Little fish, come out!"
Bai Yehua has arrived.
Shen Yu was puzzled, so she peeked through the crack in the door and saw Bai Yehua riding a horse with a carriage behind him. Was he here to pick her up?
The contract clearly states that after the marriage, she will not need to live in the Bai family home, nor will she share a room with Bai Yehua. Could it be that Bai Yehua has changed his mind? Or is Madam Bai resorting to crying,闹事, and threatening suicide?
She felt a pang of panic and asked in a trembling voice, "What business does Young Master Bai have with Chen Yu?"
Bai Yehua dismounted and slowly walked towards the gate of Chengyuan Garden.
He came to us because the emperor had given him orders to lead his troops into battle before dawn, but his only worry was Liu Yao'er.
Madam Bai looks down on Liu Yao'er. The three maids in the backyard are spoiled by Madam Bai and have become arrogant and self-important. I'm afraid that once he leaves, the maids will ride on Liu Yao'er's neck.
Therefore, he decided to have Chen Yu help Madam Bai manage the affairs of the manor, so that she could also help him protect Liu Yao'er.
He pressed his lips against the crack in the door and whispered, "Little Fish, go back to the Bai residence. I have to leave for war before dawn."
"..."
Seeing that Chen Yu remained silent, he had no choice but to give a suitable reason.
"Little Fish, Yao'er is only a concubine now, so the contract doesn't count yet. You have to stay at the Bai family for now. The contract will only be valid once Yao'er becomes a secondary wife."
"What are you doing here, Young Master Bai?"
Liu Yu's voice?
Shen Yu peeked through the crack in the door and saw a carriage stop opposite Bai Yehua. Liu Yu was peering out of the carriage window, looking in their direction.
In the dim light, Liu Yu's face was deathly pale and his lips were black; he had indeed been poisoned.
Unfortunately... they had broken off their friendship, and even though she was extremely anxious, she only dared to secretly watch Liu Yu from the shadows.
After Liu Yu finished vomiting, he tried to return the hairpin, but found that the girl had run away.
So he picked up the hairpin and examined it closely. It turned out to be the same wooden hairpin he had put in Chenyu's hair at the Qixi Night Market.
He was puzzled. What was Chen Yu doing out in the middle of the night?
Worried about Shen Yu, he instructed the coachman to search the vicinity to see if he could find Shen Yu's carriage. Unexpectedly, he encountered Bai Yehua instead.
"Young Master Bai, whose villa is this? Why aren't you at home celebrating your wedding night? What are you doing here?"
Bai Yehua paused for a moment before replying, "This is Xiaoyu's courtyard. She came to pick up some things. I... am waiting for her. Xiaoyu, hurry up."
Shen Yu had no choice but to open the door and come out, followed by two maids—Cuiwei and Jiu'er, each carrying a bundle.
"Chen Yu is all ready..."
Just then, another carriage sped up and stopped behind Bai Yehua. Hua Zheng, sitting inside, leaned out and called out, "Young Master, Young Master..."
Hua Zheng hurriedly got off the carriage and whispered something in Bai Yehua's ear.
Because of the dim light, Shen Yu couldn't see what Hua Zheng was saying. She only saw Bai Yehua's brows furrow and his lips tighten; his tense appearance meant that something must have happened to Liu Yao'er.
really.
Bai Yehua leaped onto his horse. "Xiaoyu, Yao'er is having a miscarriage. I'll go back first. You can ride in the carriage."
