Chapter 244 Clues



"Whoa!"

At that critical moment, Feng Beichuan suddenly pulled on the horse's head and adjusted its direction.

The horse seemed startled by the sudden action, raising its head high and neighing towards the sky before finally standing still with its front hooves raised, coming to a stop after a powerful surge of momentum.

It was truly a very dangerous situation.

It was only at this moment that Feng Beichuan felt he had come to his senses, so he dismounted and prepared to check if the other party was alright.

Although I'm certain I didn't hit anyone, the near-miss scene must have frightened them.

Moreover, when he turned his horse around, the horse's two front hooves were somewhat out of control, and he accidentally kicked over a stall, for which he would certainly have to make some compensation.

"Miss! Miss! What's wrong? Miss, don't scare me..."

Upon walking over and taking a closer look, Feng Beichuan narrowed his eyes and his expression grew increasingly grim when he saw the two people in front of him clearly.

Before them stood a master and a servant, one seemingly unconscious, while the other was wailing and crying out in despair.

That's not the important thing. What Feng Beichuan found most unbelievable was that these two were actually from the Prime Minister's residence!

That's right, the people Feng Beichuan almost bumped into on horseback were Bai Ruohan and Caiyun.

It really is a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

Looking at the woman who was half-lying in Caiyun's arms with her eyes closed, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The emotions he had just managed to calm down seemed to be getting irritable again.

So he immediately turned and went to the stall he had kicked over, not wanting to deal with the two of them for the time being.

After arriving, Feng Beichuan inquired and learned that the stall owner was not injured, so he gave him a stack of silver notes as compensation.

Because the amount of compensation was quite substantial, the other party did not pursue the matter further and simply dropped the matter privately.

Having resolved one problem, Feng Beichuan now has to face a second one.

He frowned and walked up to the two men. He didn't know what to say, so he decided to wait for them to speak first before acting accordingly.

That's really strange.

Why is it that nothing good ever comes when I run into these two people?

If it weren't for the last vestige of kindness in his heart, Feng Beichuan would have truly wanted to leave now, not caring whether the other party was dead or alive.

Helpless, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but sigh, and finally stepped forward to check on the other person's condition.

Bai Ruohan was seen with her eyes closed and motionless, seemingly unconscious. However, although she was unconscious, she looked as if she were asleep, with a peaceful expression and no abnormalities in her complexion.

She even had exquisite makeup on her face, her hair was neatly combed, there were no signs of injury on her body, and her clothes were all in perfect order.

Caiyun, however, continued to hold Bai Ruohan and cry, her face pale as if from the shock she had just experienced.

Passersby gradually gathered around and began pointing and discussing.

Feng Beichuan couldn't help but frown, and finally said with some impatience, "Is she injured?"

Seeing the man's clearly displeased expression, Caiyun became frightened, and her tears flowed even more profusely. So, while wiping away her tears, she choked out, "I...I don't know, I don't know! Miss, Miss, wake up!"

"There are no external injuries on his body, could it be that he suffered some internal injuries?"

"Possibly, but if he has suffered any internal injuries, then it would be dangerous..."

"Look at the mess that's been made of! Tsk tsk tsk, if that horse hoof had kicked someone..."

Listening to the various voices around him, Feng Beichuan's expression grew increasingly serious. He then spoke in a deep voice to Caiyun, "Check her again and see if she has any external injuries."

So Caiyun did as Feng Beichuan said. Perhaps because she was too nervous, even her hands were trembling slightly.

After examining it carefully, Caiyun shook her head and said to Feng Beichuan, "It seems...it seems not?"

Could it be that he really suffered some kind of internal injury?

Feng Beichuan was slightly surprised, thinking that if it was really that serious, this person couldn't have been unconscious for so long without any reaction, right?

However, just to be on the safe side, Feng Beichuan still planned to find a nearby clinic to have Bai Ruohan examined.

"Walk."

Feng Beichuan looked down at the master and servant again and said.

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Caiyun was completely bewildered.

"Take her to the clinic."

After saying that, Feng Beichuan turned around and went to get his horse.

But when Feng Beichuan and his men had already mounted their horses, he turned around and saw that Caiyun was still there, motionless.

He grew even more impatient, then raised an eyebrow and said, "What? If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but if anything happens later, it's not my responsibility."

These words were utterly ruthless, showing none of the attitude one would expect from a perpetrator.

"Who is this guy? How come he's so arrogant after bumping into someone on horseback?"

"Shh... Look at his demeanor, he must be extremely wealthy and powerful. Just that black jade pendant he's wearing at his waist must be worth at least a thousand taels!"

"Don't you know? This is the Regent of our Sheng Nan Kingdom..."

The onlookers were quietly criticizing Feng Beichuan's handling of the situation when someone suddenly blurted out something that immediately silenced them.

And soon, someone recognized Bai Ruohan.

Good heavens, this time these people have stumbled upon some juicy gossip: the Regent actually hit the Prime Minister's eldest daughter on horseback in the street, and her fate is currently unknown.

This matter will probably provide them with plenty of entertainment during their leisure time.

Seeing the man's indifferent expression, Caiyun felt even more nervous, but seeing that he had already taken the reins and was about to leave, she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Wait, you can't leave!"

Caiyun finally mustered up the courage to call out to Feng Beichuan.

Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan paused slightly in his movements, then turned to look at the other person and said coldly, "If you want treatment, then leave quickly. If something happens because of your delay, I will not be responsible."

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

"But...but how can I carry it all by myself?"

After hearing what the other party said, Caiyun couldn't help but look somewhat embarrassed and said.
