Tu Qingyu: "Did she offend someone? Someone wants to get her?"
Dabao: "Not really. There's no murderous glint in those people's eyes. Besides, they're rather lazy and don't seem to be on guard at all to try to harm anyone."
After getting on the carriage, Tu Qingyu asked Dabao to give her Xu Ying's perspective.
Xu Ying was walking further and further away with a maid, and then she started to jog.
The people who followed her saw her running and ran along with her.
Even the person behind her gave her a look.
She understood, and when she looked back, she 'accidentally' fell into the arms of the man who bumped into her from the corner.
"Ah!" She screamed in a playful tone, then grabbed the man's arm, "Sorry, I'm so rude."
After saying that, he looked behind him in panic.
Seeing people getting closer, she begged for help with red eyes, "Sir, can you, can you save me... I, I don't know why, they have to follow me, it's so scary."
When the beauty asked for his help, the sense of justice in Pei Kangsheng's heart instantly surged to his head.
"Someone come!"
When he went out today, he did not leave without someone.
A row of servants stood there, and the people chasing them from the opposite side seemed to hesitate for a moment and left immediately.
After everyone left, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Pei Kangsheng with gratitude.
She bowed deeply again, "Thank you, Master Pei, for saving my life. I am deeply grateful."
The set of movements was so smooth and flowing that even Tu Qingyu had to praise his good acting skills.
"Do you know who I am?" Pei Kangsheng was overjoyed when she called him Prince Pei. "But, you'd better not call me Prince. My father hasn't asked the emperor to grant me the title of Prince yet."
Xu Ying bowed slightly again, "My surname is Xu, my given name is Ying, and I am the daughter of the Minister of Rites. I had the honor of meeting you at a palace banquet before."
"As for the Crown Prince..." She raised her head and smiled slightly. "Duke Dingguo now has only one male heir, so the Crown Prince is a matter of time. Perhaps Duke Dingguo sees that you are still young and haven't achieved much yet. Once you pass the imperial examination, he will definitely ask for the title."
What she said was exactly what Pei Kangsheng was thinking.
He was happy in his heart, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface. "How my father acts is his business. I am lucky to be his child in this life."
"Are you the daughter of the Minister of Rites?" He looked down at the woman in front of him, whose eyes were still slightly red, his eyes full of worry. "I heard that you were injured some time ago. Are you feeling better now?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Speaking of this, Xu Ying revealed an aggrieved expression, "I, I know, Sister Tu didn't mean it..."
He stopped talking halfway in frustration, "Look at me, I shouldn't say that. After all, you are Sister Tu's fiancé."
"Did she push it?" His expression immediately turned angry. "I knew it! She's always been willful and capricious."
"No, no, it's all my fault. Sir, please don't say that. You'll still be living with her in the future. Am I trying to sow discord between you?"
"Why can't you speak up when you've been wronged?" He raised his hand and bowed gracefully. "I apologize to you on her behalf."
"No, no, no, you're being too serious. Why do I need you to apologize? Besides, you just saved me." She waved her hands repeatedly, looking terrified.
Pei Kangsheng stood up and sighed deeply, "If not... I really don't want to marry her."
Xu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this. Doesn't this mean that she has a chance?
They are both daughters of Shangshu, so doesn’t Tu Qingyu just have the additional identity of being the daughter of Pei Jian’s good friend?
If Pei Lang can secure the position of Crown Prince, it will actually be the same no matter who he marries, right?
But she definitely couldn't say this now, as it would seem too scheming.
Pei Kangsheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her. Miss Xu, I'll take you back."
"No need. I've already troubled you enough, how can I ask you to send me off?"
"No need?" He curled his lips, "You didn't bring anyone with you when you went out today, aren't you afraid that they will come back?"
Xu Ying bit her lip, looking very conflicted. Finally, she nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, sir. I really am... otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you. I will reward you handsomely someday."
"No need, it's just a small favor."
The two of them hooked up just like that.
Dabao: "Look, this woman will definitely have a backup plan."
Tu Qingyu didn't care at all. "Come on, whatever comes, we will give her back."
Xu Ying's follow-up came quickly.
A few days later, Tu Qingyu received an invitation to the Chang family polo match.
Among the wealthy families in Beijing, the Chang family organized the most outstanding polo matches.
Among them, the eldest daughter of the Chang family is Xu Ying's best friend.
To be honest, this handkerchief friendship was also planned by her.
In the capital, when ladies get together, they inevitably talk about jewelry and clothes. Sometimes, even a novel and popular dish at someone's banquet can be compared.
But the Xu family was in financial difficulty, which meant Xu Ying couldn't make any good friends.
It's not that she is isolated, but rather that others give her gifts, but she can't afford to give her something of equal value in return.
Or, she didn't have the money to hold a small banquet for the boudoir.
Even when she played polo, she didn't wear a bright riding outfit.
Over time, naturally no one wanted to play with her.
It was under such circumstances that she set her sights on the young lady of the Chang family.
When Miss Chang went up the mountain to worship Buddha, she arranged people on the route that they had to pass.
It was the same scene as when she met Pei Kangsheng that day. She rushed forward, pulled the person and ran away, and even wanted to cover him and leave first.
The young lady of the Chang family is simple and innocent, so she can't see through her tricks.
The servants were also terrified, and after being rescued, no one noticed anything was wrong.
Afterwards, Chang's father wanted to investigate, but Xu's mother found out about it and cleaned up the matter.
Chang's father investigated and found out that the culprit was a beggar on the outskirts of the city.
Later, the same thing happened again in the same place, and Chang's father was completely convinced that it was the beggars from the suburbs who caused the trouble.
Finally, he took his men and captured all the beggars in that area and took them to the mine to do hard labor.
Dabao: "She chose the polo field. Could it be that she wants to tamper with the horses?"
Tu Qingyu: "You may have guessed right."
She held the note in her hand and smiled meaningfully.
On the day of the polo match, Tu Qingyu put on his riding clothes and went out early.
However, he did not go to the Chang family stadium first, but met Pei Jian on the road who was on his way out to do something.
"Miss, the carriage ahead is from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Should we give way?"
"Wait."
She simply lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, then got into Pei Jian's carriage with familiarity.
The curtain was opened, and a smiling "Uncle Pei" broke into Pei Jian's heart.
