Chapter 713: Chapter 718: Robbery?_1
Bai Yifan personally escorted them onto the carriage. The moment he heard Qiao Duo’er’s oath today, something changed within him, shifting from sadness and dejection to the calm acceptance he now felt.
"Big sister-in-law, fourth sister, be careful on the road," Bai Yifan waved.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "After the new year, Ling’er and I will come back to beg forgiveness from the old Madam."
Regardless of whether the old Madam was angry or not, he had to say sorry.
As the carriage slowly moved forward, Bai Yifan could only feel a part of his heart becoming hollow.
However, at the same time, he also felt much more relaxed.
It wasn’t long after they left the town that the sky had already darkened.
"It’s all Li Mu’er’s fault; if it weren’t for her needless meddling, we would have been home by now," Chen Yiling complained.
Pregnant women get tired easily, and now all she wanted was to hurry home and lie down in bed.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "I really don’t understand what she was thinking, why would she hate me? I’m already married; I’m not going to snatch her Brother Bai."
Opposing her was such a waste of time!
With that energy, it would be better to warm up Bai Yifan’s heart. Even if it was made of stone, it could be heated.
"Bai Yifan only sees her as a sister. The old Madam won’t force Bai Yifan for her sake, and no one else has a say, so of course she needs to find an outlet for her frustration, and you just happened to walk right into it, so it’s your bad luck," Chen Yiling analyzed, but also felt that the logic was far-fetched.
However, looking at Lord Li’s actions, one could understand, "As the Beam-raises, so the eaves are slanted."
Qiao Duo’er pouted, "I’m completely innocent!"
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the coachman called out loudly, "Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?"
The man in black didn’t speak, simply striking an aggressive pose.
The coachman said anxiously, "If it’s money you want, I can give you the silver, please just let us go."
Qiao Duo’er had excellent eyesight. Even though it was getting dark, she could see everything clearly.
It was obvious that these people weren’t here for money.
That meant... they had likely been too high-profile recently and attracted some enemies.
"Ling’er, stay inside the carriage. No matter what happens, don’t go out, and don’t look outside. If you get scared, it’s not good for the baby."
Qiao Duo’er firmly instructed, but she wouldn’t be worried at all if Ling’er weren’t pregnant.
Chen Yiling nodded, "You be careful too."
Qiao Duo’er took out the dagger from her bosom, hopped out of the carriage, and joined the fray.
These assailants’ martial arts were not strong; Qiao Duo’er guessed they might be survivors from Xuan Eagle Mountain Village.
If that was the case, Xuan Eagle Mountain Village should have a temporary hideout, and if she could capture them, they could be forced to divulge its location.
Qiao Duo’er narrowed her eyes, refraining from delivering fatal blows.
These people’s lives were still valuable, better to keep them alive than to be ambushed every other day.
While these attackers couldn’t harm her, it was a different story for Lord Qin and Chen Yiling.
There were sixteen men in black in total, enough for Qiao Duo’er and the five Protectors sent by Bai Yifan to handle.
Especially with Qiao Duo’er’s formidable fighting capabilities, it didn’t take long for her to get the upper hand against the attackers.
"These few are still alive. Take them back and let your young master save them. At the same time, find out who they are," Qiao Duo’er ordered.
If it weren’t for considering Chen Yiling, who couldn’t stand such sights, she really wanted to take these people back herself.
The Protectors bowed and carried the unconscious attackers back.
Qiao Duo’er on her own was more formidable than all of them put together, they didn’t need to protect her, in fact, they would only hold her back.
Ah, and to think they call themselves grown men!
