One of them laughed hoarsely, "Second Miss Xie, we can kill you here without anyone noticing. But we won't kill anyone. We just want Third Madam Luo to go with us, and we'll let the others go."
Mrs. Yang immediately said, "Shut up! No one will go with you!"
As soon as the words fell, a sword slammed into the side of the carriage, creating a buzzing vibration that left several people speechless for a moment. The guards had already been subdued by them, swiftly and silently.
This is the moment that is truly life-threatening!
It turns out that I have to check the almanac before going out with Xie Yun.
Yi Ning stood up and, taking advantage of the darkness to slip something into Mrs. Yang's palms, which were drenched in sweat. She had a premonition and stepped down from the carriageway. "Stop talking nonsense and leave them and my guards."
The man smiled again: "Mrs. Luo San, please come over and talk."
Yi Ning jumped off the carriage, thinking that they might have been implicated by her. She followed the man for a short distance before she saw another large carriage in front. Behind it stood guards, their swords slung over their waists, a solemn presence. The man lifted the curtain and let her in.
A glass lamp was lit in the carriage, and a man was sitting under the dim light, drinking tea. He had the imposing presence of a mountain. He raised his head and said, "Luo Yining."
It turned out to be Lu Jiaxue!
Luo Yining's legs were still a little weak.

Lu Jiaxue didn't say anything, but just took out a letter and threw it in front of her.
Luo Yining opened it and read slowly, her face suddenly darkening. It was a letter she had written to Cheng Lang... It described how she had gone to Xiangyun Society, how Lu Jiaxue was under suspicion, and how she hoped Cheng Lang would help her keep an eye on Lu Jiaxue's movements.
No wonder he was so generous today... blocking her outside Fuxue Hutong.
He probably really knew it and guessed everything, leaving no room for excuses!
Yining's heart raced, her mind racing. She dropped the letter and tried to escape the carriage. But Lu Jiaxue attacked from behind, slashing her back with a knife. Yining's body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed.
Lu Jiaxue held her in his arms, lowered his head and sneered, "You still dare to run?"
Someone outside said, "My Lord, where are we going now?"
"Go back home." Lu Jiaxue said.
