A handful of powder was sprinkled out to drive the beast crazy.
The next second, Xu Qingyan's horse and the horse in her own carriage raised their hooves and neighed, then galloped away in Xu Qingyan's terrified eyes and disappeared into the night.
Xu Jinyi pretended to be panicked and stuck his head out to shout, "Help! Help! Xu Qingyan, save me!"
Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and didn't care about Xu Jinyi's life or death at all, because the wolf had already come to them.
Xu Qingyan was facing a formidable enemy. He raised his sword and shouted, "Everyone, stand back to back and resist the wolves together. No one is allowed to run away. Those who are alone will die faster."
The guards were not stupid. They knew that two legs could not outrun four legs, and they had no intention of running.
Seize the opportunity and quickly climb up the tree.
Xu Qingyan, a young man, didn't know how to climb a tree. He immediately shouted, "Help me up the tree, and I'll reward you with 100 taels."
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. For the sake of money, a strong guard jumped down from the tree and let Xu Qingyan step on his body to climb up the tree.
"Young Master, hurry!"
Xu Qingyan's legs went weak, and just as he climbed up the tree, he saw a pitch-black wolf jumping towards him.
Xu Qingyan was scared, and in panic, he kicked the guard who had just helped him climb the tree.
With a "bang", the strong man looked at Xu Qingyan in disbelief.
However, the wolf did not give him time to react. It pounced on him with its teeth bared and bit his arm.
"ah!"
The guards who were traveling with him saw what Xu Qingyan did. They were chilled to the bone and jumped down without caring about the danger, picking up torches and rushing forward.
Once there is one, there will be two. More than a dozen guards were dissatisfied with Xu Qingyan's behavior, so they all jumped down, picked up firewood, and used swords to drive away the wolves.
Wolves are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. They looked at the torches one by one, and finally turned to stare at Xu Qingyan on the redemption tree.
Xu Qingyan never expected that the wolf would suddenly attack him. He was bitten on the leg and dragged down the tree.
"ah--"
A tragic sound was heard in the deep forest, but Xu Jinyi was leisurely controlling the horse and stopped at the place they would pass by tomorrow.
Hearing the tragic sound, I smiled in relief.
Then he just went to sleep without caring about anything.
Xu Qingyan was seriously injured. A large piece of flesh was bitten off from his calf, and there was also a claw on his handsome face, sliding from his eyelid to the corner of his mouth.
The two wounds were bleeding profusely, which was very scary.
Although the guards were angry at Xu Qingyan's behavior, they still made a simple stretcher and carried him on the road.
Xu Qingyan's face was wrinkled in pain, and he lay on the shelf cursing.
The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Qingyan was sweating all over. The sweat on his face flowed onto the wound, causing a burning pain.
Touching the wound on his face and the protruding flesh, Xu Qingyan cursed Xu Jinyi millions of times in his heart.
If she hadn't been disobedient, why would he have wanted to teach her a lesson and decided to spend the night in the forest?
Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered the wolf pack. Xu Qingyan just felt that he was extremely unlucky.
"Sir, that's our carriage! Where's the second young lady?" At the town gate, the guard recognized the carriage at a glance.
"Go up and take a look."
Even though he hated Xu Jinyi to death, Xu Qingyan did not forget the purpose of this trip.
When Xu Qingyan saw that bright little face sticking out, before he could say anything, he received an accusation from Xu Jinyi.
"Xu Qingyan, you went too far yesterday. Why didn't you come to save me? If I hadn't been lucky, I would have fallen off the cliff with my horse."
"I know you don't like me, but you can't just watch me die. After all, we are siblings. You are too cruel."
"Are you deliberately trying to get me killed along the way so that you can make way for your sister?"
"I'm telling you, stop daydreaming. That imposter has been using my identity for so many years. It's time to return it."
"you--"
Xu Qingyan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so angry at Xu Jinyi's words that he almost couldn't breathe.
Xu Jinyi blinked innocently, then realized that he was injured and jumped out of the carriage.
"Are you injured? My medical skills are pretty good. How about I take a look at you?" After saying that, he took out a silver needle from his waist.
"No need. What can you see with your mediocre medical skills?" Xu Qingyan refused.
Xu Jinyi pouted, and continued in a rage, "If you don't want to use it, then don't use it. Do you think I want to show it to you? I think you're injured because you're being punished. Who made you blind?"
"Xu Jinyi——"
Xu Jinyi scratched his ears: "I can hear it!"
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan really didn't want to say a word to her.
He closed his eyes and said, "Let's go into the city and find an inn to stay in. Let's ask a doctor to come over."
Xu Qingyan was seriously injured and had to stop and go frequently, so it was more than half a month later when they returned to the capital.
Xu Qingyan looked at the tall city walls of the capital and felt that this month seemed like a long time.
He saw many doctors along the way, but the results made him feel depressed.
The wound spanned almost his entire face, forcing him to wear a mask and his personality became unstable.
The carriage slowly drove to the gate of the Shangshu Mansion and stopped.
Xu Jinyi looked at the open side door from the car window and sneered.
Faintly, one could hear the crowd's voices: "Hey, I heard the Shangshu Mansion's second young lady is going to be brought back from outside soon. Could that be the one in the carriage?"
"It should be. You said Xu Jingwan is so beautiful. Will the second young lady be the same?"
"I don't know, but all the legitimate sons and daughters of the Shangshu Mansion are promising. I'm afraid this second young lady is also a talented woman."
"I don't think so. I heard that the second young lady has had poor health since she was young, so she was sent to some miracle doctor outside. So she probably doesn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting."
"No way? He's so pitiful and a sickly child. He doesn't even know the rules, does he?"
"It's possible."
"Then the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion is as different from the second lady as heaven and earth?"
Xu Jinyi suddenly showed a strange smile on his lips, lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down.
She didn't care at all that the crowd gasped at her beauty.
Xu Qingyan saw her walking towards the gate by herself and looked at her with disdain. She had been stubborn all the way, but now that she saw the prosperity of their Shangshu Mansion, she still ran in with a poor look on her face.
Xu Qingyan was still secretly despising him in his heart, but Xu Jinyi stood in the middle of the gate, raised his voice, and spoke word by word.
"The Xu family's legitimate daughter was replaced at birth, allowing an imposter to take over her identity and enjoy the wealth and prosperity that should have belonged to her daughter, as well as the love and favor of her family."
"My poor daughter was left in the care of a fake family, living a life of uncertainty, with a light beating every day and a heavy beating every three days."
"Now that I have finally returned, I have to ask my daughter to repay evil with kindness. To save the fake's reputation, I have to give her the status of a legitimate daughter and admit to the public that I am weak and sickly and have been raised outside since childhood."
"I tell you, this is absolutely impossible!"
