Chapter 8
Song Jingmo was so scared that he screamed and struggled wildly, making Youyang's ears hurt.
"Shut up."
You Yang showed no mercy, he raised his knee and slammed it hard into Song Jingmo's lower back.
"Hiss! It hurts, it hurts..." Song Jingmo grimaced in pain. He was not convinced and turned around to argue with Youyang, but Youyang glared at him again, and his momentum disappeared in an instant.
Even though his lower back hurt, he didn't dare to make a sound, and whimpered in grievance, lowering his voice.
You Yang turned her gaze to the tall man behind the screen.
Discuss with him, "Let me go, and pretend that what happened today never happened. I don't know what you said, and I have never been here."
"As for him, I will return him to you intact after I leave. I won't hurt him."
A light and disdainful laugh was first heard in the compartment, followed by a steady male voice coming from behind the screen.
"Little girl, do you think that by threatening me with this person, you can leave here alive?"
"You can't escape from my hands."
You Yang felt that the voice sounded more and more familiar, but in this critical situation, she was on edge and had no intention of thinking about it.
"I am worthless and nothing, but he is different."
"You said that if I died, I would drag him down with me. With him by my side, at least I wouldn't be too lonely in the underworld."
Song Yan, who was behind the screen, frowned upon hearing this, with a murderous look in his phoenix eyes.
His tone was cold, "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not." You Yang shook his head, knowing that he had spoken out of turn due to excitement.
She felt that the other party didn't seem to be interested in whether she killed anyone or not. To be more precise, he seemed very confident that she could not kill this madman.
Don't push people too far.
You Yang's beautiful eyes swiveled around twice, and she changed her tone, "I see that you are surrounded by many experts, so I dare to guess that your background must be extraordinary. If you want to kill a weak woman like me, it would be easy. Just a word would be enough."
"If my actions have offended you, I apologize. It's just my survival instinct. I just want to fight for a chance of survival. I hope you can help me."
There was a long silence behind the screen.
"good."
"Put the knife down."
"let her go."
After receiving the instructions, Cang Lin and Cang Xu had to put away their swords and retreat, but they did not dare to relax their eyes and stared at You Yang as he retreated.
You Yang didn't dare to bet whether what he said about letting her go was true or just to let her relax her guard so that he could take the opportunity to subdue her.
Her spirits were tense, and her heels scraped against the thick carpet as she stepped back. Even though she accidentally got caught on the carpet, causing her already chaotic steps to stumble a few times, she did not dare to relax.
Her clothes were already soaked with cold sweat and stuck to her back, but she didn't dare to deal with it.
His movements were stiff, and he almost dragged Song Jingmo back step by step.
After leaving the room and coming to the corridor, I felt better because of the breeze.
She pressed her back against the fence and pushed Song Jingmo out unexpectedly, throwing him onto Cang Lin and Cang Xu. Taking advantage of the panic, she stole the dagger from Cang Lin's hand, then jumped down and disappeared into the crowd.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Help me, Prince!"
"My legs are so weak! I can't stand up!"
Song Jingmo's legs were completely exhausted and he collapsed to the ground, grabbing the two men's clothes and shouting, refusing to let go.
The two men lay on the fence with their eyes wide open, trying to find the fleeing figure in the crowd. In the end, they found nothing, so they had to help Song Jingmo back to the room.
Song Jingmo sat down panting heavily. Seeing this, Wei Lian poured him a cup of warm tea and pushed it over to him.
Song Jingmo couldn't wait to pick up the cup of tea, but his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the cup steadily, and a small amount of tea spilled on the table and his clothes.
He didn't care and just raised his tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"I was so scared! That woman was really scary."
Wei Lian smiled calmly, poured himself a cup of tea, took a leisurely sip from the teacup and teased him, "You didn't want to get to know me? Now we know each other, don't we? Doesn't this count as a life-or-death friendship?"
"Who wants this broken friendship? I was so sincere to her, but he actually wants to kill me!" Song Jingmo slammed the table in anger, "He even wants my life! No, no, I better stay away from this kind of person in the future, otherwise I will die at the hands of a woman sooner or later!"
Wei Lian laughed loudly: "There's no need to leave. According to the number of times you go to Chun Hongfang, it won't be long before you die on a woman."
"Don't worry about that." Song Jingmo covered his ears and pretended not to hear. "These are two different things. The girls from Chun Hongfang are really good to me."
Wei Lian couldn't help laughing at his silly look, so he took back the folding fan and hit him hard on the head.
"Promising."
"But I didn't expect that you, brother, care about me so much. You even let that bad woman go in order to save me. I'm really touched~" The shadow of the hijacking did not affect Song Jingmo for too long. Now he began to shamelessly hug Song Yanting's arm and act coquettishly.
Song Yanting: "......"
He resisted the urge to punch Song Jingmo and throw him out from the second floor.
He ruthlessly threw the man away with such force that Song Jingmo spun twice on the ground like a top before falling to the ground and stopping.
Wei Lian teased, "You shameless bastard! His Highness has his own plans. Didn't you notice that the Xuanyou Guards hiding everywhere didn't take action?"
"If it weren't for His Highness's tacit consent, how could the little girl leave here alive?"
"Wei Lian is right." Song Yan nodded, "She can't move for the time being."
"Do you know who that little girl is?" Song Yanting asked him while tapping Song Jingmo's forehead with the remaining chopstick.
Song Jingmo didn't know a woman who was not only physically aggressive but also hurt people so much. He didn't even need to think, "I don't know her. There's no girl I know who is so difficult to deal with. She's so scary."
Song Yanting: "She is the legitimate daughter of Minister You, and the fifth brother is by her side."
"She?!" Song Jingmo was stunned. "The You family? Don't they only have one daughter named You Miaoyan? Where did this legitimate daughter come from? Besides, none of the generals' daughters I know have martial arts skills like her."
Wei Lian had some impression of her. "I have heard of her. It is said that she was raised on a farm in the countryside since she was a child and only came back recently."
"Our dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts. Why would a normal family allow a young girl to learn martial arts?" Wei Lian raised a suspicious brow and asked, "Isn't this You Guolin just a newly appointed Minister of Justice? What is his intention in raising his daughter like this?"
"And what kind of upbringing could make a pampered young lady consider her life worthless?"
This is also what Song Yanting suspected.
"In short, we currently know nothing about her secrets. If there really is someone extremely powerful standing behind her, then we must not act rashly, lest we alert the enemy."
Wei Lian nodded in agreement, "What do you plan to do about the Fifth Prince's matter?"
"The person behind this person, who has been hiding for many years, is very powerful. If we can't eradicate them all at once, it will be much more difficult to deal with them later."
Song Yanting stood up, stretched, and walked out. "It's rare to be on the same side with Lao Wu. Let's see how he fights those old men."
"As his brother, I should help him."
When passing by Canglin, Song Yanting smiled mysteriously and patted his empty waist with his big hand.
After this reminder, Cang Lin finally realized that his dagger was missing.
After searching all over the floor and looking around, Cang Lin thought that it had fallen somewhere in the wing room, and asked Cang Xu to look for it with him, but Song Yanting stopped him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder twice.
"Don't look for it anymore. It was taken away by a cunning little fox."
"Little fox?!" Cang Xu was completely confused. "Where did the fox come from? Where is the fox?"
Cang Lin strode after Song Yanting and asked, "Master, where are we going next?"
Song Yanting opened the curtain and walked out, "Catch the fox."
......
You Yang managed to escape, holding the short knife that he had picked up during the chaos.
She couldn't make a wasted trip; she had to gain something.
She returned along the same route, changed back into her old clothes in the inner room, tore the soaked dress into pieces, hid the dagger, and then walked out with peace of mind.
Outside, Qingyun anxiously questioned the shop owner about her whereabouts, and cursed the shop owner for running an illegal shop and disturbing people so that they could not do business properly.
"Qingyun is back."
"Miss!" Qingyun saw Youyang jogging over and helped the person to check carefully. "Miss, are you in there? Why didn't you respond when I called you? I was scared to death."
You Yang evaded the question, "Maybe it was too noisy on the street, so I didn't hear it."
"Do you have any silver?"
Youyang glanced at the shopkeeper with a bad face not far away, and asked Qingyun for two ingots of silver and put them on the table.
"I'm sorry, my maid was too impatient and bumped into the shop owner. This is our compensation for the offense."
After seeing Qian, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say. The beauty in front of her was rare in the world. Although her clothes were a little shabby, she was generous. She didn't want to offend such a big customer, so she just regarded it as a good relationship and left.
"It's okay. I've had everything you need packed and sent to your car."
You Yang smiled warmly and nodded: "Thank you for your help."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the store, Song Yunlan came back.
When he saw You Yang, his eyes lit up and his thin lips opened slightly, but after he realized what was happening, he closed them tightly again. He changed his expression and stared at her with a pout and a wronged look.
You Yang smiled back and reassured him, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"It's getting late. Let's go and see our mother."
......
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Wen Mansion, and Youyang stood in front of the gate.
The servant at the door saw a guest coming and came forward to ask respectfully, "Does the distinguished guest have a visiting card?"
You Yang shook his head.
She had forgotten that she needed a visiting card to visit here.
"Please go and inform her that You Yang is here to visit her mother."
The servant was stunned for a moment, "The girl's mother is our young lady."
You Yang nodded: "Yes."
Upon hearing this, the servant did not dare to delay and ran in to report.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a white-haired old lady came out of the mansion and greeted them with a smile.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Miss. You have grown up."
You Yang had no impression of this nanny, and stared at her hesitantly with her head tilted.
The nanny thought she was unhappy and was very upset. "It's my fault. I haven't seen the young lady so happy in years."
Youyang said it was okay.
"What's your name, Madam?"
Nanny He stared at You Yang with eyes full of love, "My old servant's surname is He, and I have been serving you since I was a child. You can just call me Nanny He."
