The Abandoned Wife of a Military Family: Your disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 223 A Lifetime's Worth of Repayment

“The county princess doesn’t have what you’re looking for,” Haitang said helplessly. “And speaking of gratitude…” She paused, looked up at him, and said, “I should have already repaid what I’ve done for you over the years.”

"You'll never be able to repay this debt in your lifetime!" Feng Huai shoved her away, his dark eyes fixed on her coldly. "You've only been with Yun Wei for a few days, and you've already been bribed? What kind of bewitching drug did she give you?"

“The county princess is a good person.” Haitang frowned and advised in a low voice, “Young master, please stop. The county princess really doesn’t have what you want.”

Feng Huai said, "You haven't even looked for her, how can you be sure she doesn't have it on her? So many martial arts figures from the capital are lurking here, all after the treasure on her. Do you think it's just a baseless rumor?"

The crabapple tree remained silent.

Feng Huai softened his expression and reached out to tidy the slightly messy hair at her temples. "Yun Wei must have a treasure map on her. If you steal it and give it to me, I promise you, I will send you away from here and never let you get involved in any more conflicts."

Feeling upset, Haitang returned to the private room.

"Haitang, why did you take so long?" Tian'er asked.

"My stomach is a little upset..." Haitang had just finished speaking when she met Yunwei's eyes.

She clenched her fingers, suddenly feeling a little flustered.

"Does your stomach feel uncomfortable? Did you eat something bad?" Yunwei asked with concern.

"It shouldn't be..." Haitang lowered her head guiltily.

"It's getting late, and we've almost finished eating. Let's head back now," said Doctor Qin.

“Okay then.” Yun Wei nodded.

The others had no objections.

After leaving Zuiyue Tower, Doctor Qin and the others went their separate ways, bidding farewell to Yunwei.

"Rong Xue, are you going to stay at your royal uncle's residence, or go directly back to the Prince of Jin's residence?" Yun Wei asked.

After thinking for a moment, Rong Xue decisively said, "I'd better go back to the Prince of Jin's residence."

Although he would be nagged by his father when he returned home, he was actually more afraid of his uncle's admonitions than his father's.

The Imperial Uncle is the type who might send him to the military camp for training at the slightest disagreement.

He doesn't want to make things difficult for himself.

“Alright, I’ll have Ah Zheng take you back,” Yun Wei said.

"No need, I'm a grown man, why would I need to be escorted? I can go back by myself." Rong Xue waved her hand.

"No, I'm not comfortable with that," Yun Wei said.

Rong Xue drank quite a bit tonight, and she's still quite childish. She only had a servant with her, and it would be bad if something happened to her on the way.

"Alright, alright, then let Zheng take me." Rong Xue didn't insist any further and quickly got into the carriage.

Yunwei gave Azheng a few instructions and then asked him to see Rongxue off.

"Qingxue, I'll take you back," Yunwei said, turning to Mu Qingxue.

"Okay." Mu Qingxue nodded obediently.

Yunwei smiled and said, "Then let's get in the car."

"Mmm," Mu Qingxue responded and quickly climbed onto the carriage.

After A-Zheng escorted Rong Xue back, the task of driving the carriage fell to Hai-Tang.

Sweetie sat beside her and saw her raise her whip and strike the horse's back with practiced ease, causing the horse to gallop off.

No wonder she's destined to be a hospital guard.

Even catching a train is done with such skill.

"Begonia, teach me how to drive a carriage!" Tian'er asked enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Haitang immediately shoved the horse reins into her hand.

Tian'er was stunned. Realizing what was happening, she panicked and said, "I don't know how to hurry..."

"Aren't you rushing right now?" Haitang said.

Tian'er looked at the horse rushing forward and fearfully shoved the reins back into her hand. "You should do it, I need to practice some more."

Haitang didn't force her. After taking the reins, she steadily drove the carriage. Before long, they arrived at Qingyi Garden.

Mu Qingxue stepped down from the carriage, waved goodbye to Yun Wei, and then entered the mansion.

Haitang drove the carriage away.

The winter night was cold, and there were hardly any people on the streets.

Watching Haitang skillfully drive the carriage, Tian'er felt a little eager to try it herself.

Thinking that she had already studied all the way and should be able to catch up, I was about to speak when I saw several dark figures standing at the intersection ahead.

She paused, thinking she had misread it, and asked Haitang for confirmation, "What is that?"

"People." Haitang frowned slightly and uttered a single word.

Before Tian'er could react, she suddenly heard Haitang shout quickly into the carriage, "Princess, hold on tight."

Upon hearing this, Tian'er instinctively gripped the carriage shaft tightly.

The next moment, the carriage sped towards the group of people.

Sitting in the carriage, Yunwei had already sensed the change in events.

She lifted the carriage curtain, glanced outside, and held a few silver needles between her fingertips.

However, without her having to lift a finger, as the carriage rushed towards those people, Haitang's whip lashed out sharply at them.

After a few sharp cracks, the men fell to the ground.

Yunwei glanced at it and then retreated back into the carriage.

Tian'er's heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down.

She wiped away her cold sweat and turned to look at her companion.

She had just seen clearly that those men were holding large knives, and they were obviously up to no good.

If Haitang hadn't acted quickly, those people's knives would have been used to cut them.

Haitang noticed her scrutiny and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Haitang, you're so amazing!" Tian'er exclaimed with admiration.

"Those are just insignificant characters," Haitang explained, and the speeding carriage gradually slowed down.

But soon, Haitang's body tensed up again.

She said to Tian'er very quickly, "Hurry up and get into the carriage."

Even the slow-witted Tian'er sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to enter the carriage, a sword aura slashed down from the sky.

At the same time, Yunwei rushed out of the carriage, quickly grabbed Tian'er and Haitang's arms, and leaped onto the roof next to them.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the cold winter night.

Standing on the rooftop, still shaken, Tian'er turned to look and found that the carriage they had just been sitting in was now in pieces, and the horse lay in a pool of blood.

She broke out in a cold sweat.

If the young lady hadn't acted quickly, all three of them would already be...

"Your Highness, what skill you possess!" A rough, unpleasant voice rang out in the darkness.

Yun Wei's almond-shaped eyes sharply turned to the man in black on the opposite rooftop, and she said coldly, "You are no less formidable!"

"I won't waste any more words. Princess Rong'an, if you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure, and I might spare your life!" the man said, slowly raising the sword in his hand and pointing it directly at Yun Wei.

Yunwei was not surprised by the other party's purpose.

People in the martial arts world are now eyeing her "treasure" and "secret to immortality." The series of assassinations she suffered tonight must be related to these people in the martial arts world.

"Why do you only want the treasure? You don't want the secret to immortality?" Yun Wei sneered.

"That's all nonsense. There's no such thing as an immortality secret in this world," the man in black said sarcastically.

"Since you know it's just a bluff, how can you think I have a treasure on me?" Yunwei found it amusing.
