Chapter 251 Isn’t it embarrassing?
The wife of Marquis Wu'an choked with anger and immediately turned her head to glare at He Yu in annoyance.
Where are you going?
She didn't want to agree at all!
He Yu was stunned by the stare. He touched his nose awkwardly and wondered what he had said wrong.
Could it be possible that Yan'er would lose her promise?
Forget about others, but Lu Xiang is the queen's favorite. Wouldn't it be a slap in her face to stand her up? Would the queen let her off easily if she knew?
The wife of Marquis Wu'an had obviously thought of this as well. Moreover, the Marquis had agreed to let He Zhiyan go out before her. If she refused again, how would she put the Marquis's face?
However, Lady Wu'an Hou was unwilling to let He Zhiyan go out like this.
"Since you have made an appointment with Miss Lu to watch the dragon boat race together, then bring your third sister along."
He Zhiyan's face suddenly turned dark, and the joy in her heart was instantly wiped out as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her from head to toe.
Bring He Zhimin along? She might as well break the appointment.
Who knows what this guy is going to do next.
He Zhiyan was about to say that she was not feeling well and could not go, but she heard He Zhiyi's cold and pleasant voice: "Mother, Third Sister is still angry, she will definitely not feel like going out right now."
The corner of Mrs. Wu'an Marquis's mouth twitched fiercely, reminding her that Minmin had just run away because she was yelling at He Zhiyan for bullying her. Now she was asking He Zhiyan to take people out. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
But when facing her son, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't get angry at all.
"Well...never mind." Madam Wu'an pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and said, "Yier, you can go with the eldest girl. It's a rare trip back to Beijing, so go and see what's going on. Besides, there are many people on the road, so it's better to protect her."
There must be a lot of rich young ladies going to watch the dragon boat race today, and Yier can see which girl he likes.
He Zhiyan pursed her lips, turned her head to glance at He Zhiyi's profile, and felt conflicted for a moment.
If it was her second brother, she would be willing to take him with her, but today there are a group of girls here and it would be inconvenient for him as a man.
He Zhiyi looked at the wife of Marquis Wu'an and said, "Mother, it's rare for me to come back. I just want to spend more time with you and father. You can play whenever you want. I haven't been with you often for more than ten years. Now that I'm back, don't rush to send me out."
He Yu felt touched when he heard this: "Yes, yes, my son finally came back, so he should stay at home."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an was also deeply moved and she didn't remember anything else. If her son wasn't older, she would have wanted to hold him in her arms and love him dearly.
"Okay, then I'll listen to Yi'er and not go out."
Seeing this, He Zhiyan hurriedly said, "Dad, Mother, I'm leaving now."
He Yu waved his hand: "Go ahead, let Dafu take you there."
The wife of Marquis Wu'an snorted softly but said nothing more.
He Zhiyan gave He Zhiyi a grateful look, then ran away happily holding up her skirt.
Dafu was the coachman of the mansion. There were always three carriages in the mansion, and someone was taking good care of them every day. After receiving the order, Dafu drove the carriage to the corner gate, and Liuliu hurriedly helped He Zhiyan get on the carriage.
The Wu'an Marquis Mansion was still two streets away from Chunman. Dafu drove the carriage at a leisurely pace, and He Zhiyan was so anxious that she kept buttoning her handkerchief in the carriage.
"Dafuku, faster."
Outside the car, Dafu said with a smile, "Miss, I'm already very fast. There are so many people on the street today. If I go any faster, something bad will happen."
If you really hit someone by then, you will be unable to move forward. It is better to drive slowly and reach your destination safely.
He Zhiyan: "It's almost time. At this rate, the dragon boat race will be over by the time I get to Chun Man Lou."
Not only was I late, I couldn't even watch the game.
Da Fu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss, I know there is a small path. Why don't we take a shortcut?"
"Then let's go quickly." He Zhiyan responded quickly.
After receiving the instructions, Da Fu drove the carriage around a corner and passed through the alley.
He Zhiyan lifted the curtain and looked at the narrow alley that was only wide enough for one carriage to pass through. She wondered in her heart whether Dafu was reliable.
Da Fu outside the carriage suddenly said, "Don't worry, Miss. I can't guarantee anything else, but I know all the roads in the capital very well. Although this alley looks small, there are few carriages passing through here, so it will definitely not delay us."
He Zhiyan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
Does this guy have the ability to read minds?
She had just complained in her heart when he said this.
Da Fu didn't know what He Zhiyan was thinking, he just wanted to say something so that the young lady wouldn't be so nervous.
Shortcuts are not as easy to walk on as main roads, but these alleys are connected, which shortens the distance a lot compared to going around the main road.
After leaving the alley, there was a side street. Not far away, Dafu drove the carriage into the alley again.
Liu Liu said: "Miss, the one we just took was Zhengyang Street, it is indeed a lot faster."
Hearing this, He Zhiyan immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "I was worrying too much."
Walking in the alley, you can vaguely hear the hustle and bustle of the street.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly, accompanied by a scream from Dafu, followed by a "bang" sound, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He Zhiyan's heart instantly rose to her throat and she looked at Liu Liu with fear.
Liuliu's face also turned pale.
Dafu's scream is not a good sign.
"Miss...I...we..." Liu Liu's lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence. Her eyes turned red with fear, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.
He Zhiyan thought to herself that something was wrong, and then she heard the clanging of swords outside. She held Liu Liu's hand tightly, trying to calm her pounding heart.
They had mistakenly entered a fight scene, and it was indeed difficult to take a shortcut.
He Zhiyan was complaining in her heart when she suddenly saw someone being kicked in and falling in front of her.
"Ah!!!" She screamed in fright, but the next moment she felt a chill on her neck, and a knife with a dark green cold light was placed on her neck.
"Miss..." Liu Liu screamed.
The vicious man with the knife immediately kicked Liuliu and kicked her off the carriage.
He Zhiyan was shocked: "Six six."
"Get out of the car." The man glared at He Zhiyan and ordered.
He Zhiyan shuddered all over, stood up, bent over and walked out of the carriage. Her beautiful face was pale, and she felt like her breathing was about to stop because of the sudden fright.
Stepping out of the carriage, He Zhiyan saw the situation outside.
Standing opposite the carriage was a handsome man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with deep eyes, thin lips slightly pursed, angular facial features that made him look extremely cool and handsome, with a high nose bridge and a fierce aura.
At this moment, he was holding a sharp sword, with bright red blood still dripping from the tip of the sword, and at his feet, a man was lying in a pool of blood.
And Dafu fainted beside the carriage.
Liu Liu was rushed out, and at this moment, he was holding his abdomen and grimacing in pain. When he saw He Zhiyan, he called out in a trembling voice, "Miss."
He Zhiyan's already pale face became even paler.
