Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 104: Autumn Girl is the Most Eye-Catching Star
Xue Han clenched his fists, his heart was in turmoil.

She said, fortunately he arrived in time...

"Lord Xue, thank you for saving Ah Heng." Princess Jiayi knelt down and saluted Xue Han.

"It's my duty." Xue Han nodded slightly and regained his composure.

"Miss Qiu Liu--" a female voice sounded.

Qiu Heng straightened her slightly messy hair and looked at the person who spoke.

Princess Rongning walked over step by step, and when she got close, she bowed deeply: "Thank you for saving me."

After saying this, Princess Rongning felt a little embarrassed.

Just before what happened just now, she still looked down on Miss Qiu Liu, believing that she was someone who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

She knew that there were many people in the forest and could hear the guards' screams, but the first person to arrive was Miss Qiu Liu.

She was in imminent danger at that time and had no time to think too much, but when she saw Miss Qiu Liu leading the bear away with her own eyes, the shock it caused to her was no less than suddenly encountering a mad black bear attacking people.

How could a person who is only concerned about his own business achieve such a goal?

It is she who uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.

Princess Rongning was ashamed and embarrassed, waiting for Qiu Heng's response.

Qiu Heng was very clear about Princess Rongning's attitude before, but she didn't take it to heart.

What she wants to do is like climbing a steep peak, full of difficulties and obstacles, and she is destined to do many extraordinary things. If she cares about other people's opinions everywhere, then she doesn't need to do anything.

"If it were someone else, I would save them too." Qiu Heng said this calmly.

Feng Caixing burst out laughing: "Ah Heng, what you said is the same as what Master Xue said to Cheng Susu."

It was an unintentional remark, but it made Qiu Heng and Xue Han look at each other unconsciously.

Princess Rongning glared at Feng Caixing and said angrily, "Caixing, what are you talking about!"

This is not comparing her with Cheng Susu.

She misunderstood Miss Qiu Liu and didn't understand her well enough. Cheng Susu was deliberately making things difficult for her and bullying her.

How can this be the same?

After the initial embarrassment, Princess Rongning was not one to shy away. She looked at Qiu Heng and said seriously, "Miss Qiu Liu, I misunderstood you before. I apologize to you."

"You are too polite, my lady. That bear——"

"They were surrounded and killed." Princess Rongning was still frightened when she mentioned the black bear, and was therefore even more grateful to Qiu Heng for saving people.

"Let's leave here first." Princess Jiayi said.

The group walked out, and there were many people standing outside the forest. There were noble ladies who left the forest after hearing the screams and the roar of the bear, and there were men who chased the black bear, and most of them were guards who rushed over after hearing about the accident.

Seeing Qiu Heng and others appear, countless eyes fell on her.

"See? The one wearing the cherry red riding uniform is Miss Qiu Liu."

"It doesn't look like it. She looks so weak, how dare she lure the black bear away?"

"How did you survive the black bear's paw?"

"I don't know. I can't imagine."

Among them was a noblewoman who was from the same Yuantuan Society as Feng Caixing. Driven by curiosity, she boldly waved: "Caixing, Caixing——"

Feng Caixing heard the shouting and said to Jiayi County Master and the others, "You go back first, I'll go over there."

"You should go back early too. There have been too many troubles today. Don't cause any more trouble." Feng Caiyue warned.

"I know." Feng Caixing walked over quickly and asked the lady, "What's the matter?"

The girls immediately surrounded Feng Caixing: "Caixing, tell us how Miss Qiu Liu escaped from the black bear's clutches!" Feng Caixing was already excited about Qiu Heng's escape from the black bear's clutches and she wanted to tell it with a loudspeaker. Hearing this was exactly what she wanted.

"Ah Heng climbed up a tree and avoided the black bear's attack."

"Wow, Miss Qiuliu can climb trees?"

"Of course he will. Ah Heng has lived in the countryside in the south for so many years, so climbing trees is a necessary skill for him."

"So, people living in the south can climb trees!"

"Probably. You forgot, Ah Heng can also swim."

"Yes, yes, I remember now. Didn't Miss Qiu Liu dive into the water and rescue her sister on Valentine's Day?"

"Miss Qiuliu knows a lot."

"I heard that black bears can climb trees."

Feng Caixing was even more proud when he heard this: "So Ah Heng was smart. He picked a thin tree to climb up. The black bear was not stupid either. It didn't dare to climb because the tree was too thin, so it kept bumping into the tree..."

The girls listened to the thrilling story and exclaimed from time to time.

"Just when the tree was knocked down, the guards and Lord Xue arrived..." Feng Caixing finally finished his words.

Gasps came one after another: "This is too thrilling."

Feng Caixing smiled: "That's right. That's what Ah Heng said when he almost fell off his horse, God bless you!"

The ladies all nodded in unison: "It's true."

As soon as Feng Caixing left, these noble ladies who had mastered the first-hand gossip were soon surrounded by people they knew. More and more people knew the details of how Miss Qiu Liu lured the black bear away and how she escaped.

Cui Er listened silently and regretted it.

With such courage and character, Miss Qiu Liu should be his wife. He should not give up in the face of difficulties. He will ask his parents to propose marriage for him again!
Princess Rongning had just separated from Qiu Heng and the others when she met Princess Fu who had rushed over after hearing the news.

"Rong Ning, are you okay?" Princess Fu, who had been walking all the way, was out of breath, her eyes were red, and tears fell when she saw her daughter.

Along with Princess Fu were Princess Kang and several noble ladies.

No matter what the ladies thought, whether their anxiety was real or fake, when they heard the news that Princess Rongning was in danger, they could not stay out of it while drinking tea and chatting with Princess Fu.

"Mother, I'm fine. Only two guards were injured, one seriously and the other slightly." In front of her mother, Princess Rongning's tense emotions relaxed and she shed tears.

"I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay." Princess Fu hugged Princess Rongning in fear, her hands were still cold.

God knows how she felt when she heard her daughter was in danger. She didn't want to experience that feeling again. When she returned, she would go to the temples and Taoist temples to burn incense and thank the gods and Buddhas for blessing Rong Ning.

"Mother, it was Miss Qiu Liu who saved me."

Princess Fu was stunned and couldn't help but look at Princess Kang.

Princess Kang was stunned.

Miss Qiuliu? Her adopted daughter?

A pair of hands firmly grasped the hands of Princess Kang: "Princess, please take me to see Miss Qiu."

The Princess of the County looked at the Princess of the Fu's eager eyes and felt like she was dreaming.

Her adopted daughter, whom she had always looked down upon, became Princess Rongning's savior?
You should know that among the royal family of this generation, the one who is closest to the current emperor is Prince Fu.

After calming down, Princess Kang said politely, "There's no need for you to go there. Rong Ning was so frightened, Princess, take her back first to settle her down, and I'll take Ah Heng over later."

Princess Fu was deeply concerned about her daughter. After hearing what Princess Kang said, she stopped insisting: "I am really ashamed. I should have gone to thank the child in person. Then I will wait for Princess Jun to bring Miss Qiuliu over."

After separating from Princess Fu, Princess Kang immediately rushed back to see Qiu Heng.
