After the favored concubine remarried, the aloof and powerful minister forcibly took her away.

Chapter 107 Let her go
Not long after, Wen Caifu caught a glimpse of a dazzling red light outside.

She looked closely and saw that the outside was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, with red lanterns hanging high and colorful ribbons swaying gently in the wind, creating a lively scene.

It really looked like a grand wedding ceremony was about to begin.

Seeing this scene, Wen Caifu's expression grew even worse, and her originally fair face was covered with a layer of frost.

Before Duan Zhuo left, he did not untie her hands and feet.

Trapped in this cramped space, unable to move, she was filled with resentment.

The taste of blood spread in her mouth, and the strong metallic taste made her frown slightly.

She could only feel the nauseating taste filling her mouth, as if reminding her of everything she had suffered.

She couldn't even imagine what a nightmare it would be if she really married this bandit leader.

He might as well just strangle himself with a white silk ribbon.

Thinking of this, Wen Caifu felt a little anxious. She turned her head and looked at the table not far away.

A bowl of water sat quietly on it, and in her eyes, the porcelain bowl could be used as a sharp blade to cut the rope.

Wen Caifu moved her body with difficulty toward the table.

She approached the table, then raised her foot and kicked it with all her might.

The table shook violently, and the porcelain bowl fell to the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces.

A bowl of water splashed out, soaking her dress and shoes.

She lowered her head and bit down on the shard of porcelain on the ground.

The girl was in a sorry state; her once gorgeous clothes were now wrinkled and rumpled, and her face was covered in dust.

Wen Caifu had never experienced anything like this before. In her previous life, she had always been pampered and taken care of.

But now, Wen Caifu understands even more clearly that if she cannot escape from here, she will be the one to die.

At this critical moment of life and death, one can no longer care about reputation.

She was lucky to escape this bandit's den alive, thanks to the blessings of her ancestors.

She prayed silently, hoping that God would give her a chance to escape.

She tossed the porcelain shard within easy reach, and Wen Caifu grasped it, cutting the hemp rope binding her hands.

She was not very strong, so it took her a lot of effort.

After freeing her hands, she quickly untied and threw away the hemp ropes binding her feet.

Duan Zhuo seemed surprised that such a pampered young lady could have the ability to escape.

So no one was left to guard the entrance.

Wen Caifu quietly opened the door a crack and carefully looked outside.

Red cloths and lanterns were hung everywhere, and people were carrying wine jars.

There are too many people; we'll definitely get caught if we go out through the main entrance.

Wen Caifu's heart pounded like a drum. After thinking carefully, she closed the door again.

She walked around the room for a while, then opened the back window.

What comes into view is a lush, verdant forest, much of which has been withered by autumn, with bare branches and leaves scattered on the ground.

But there are many trees, so it doesn't look bare.

And this seems to be the only path Wen Caifu can take.

Without hesitation, she made a quick decision, moved a chair over, stepped on it, and jumped over.

Before leaving, she wrapped a piece of broken porcelain in a handkerchief for self-defense.

The dense trees concealed Wen Caifu's figure, and she dared not look back, only running forward for her life.

"Boss, something terrible has happened! The bride has run away!"

After an unknown amount of time, the second brother hurriedly ran over and said something to Duan Zhuo.

Duan Zhuo held a porcelain bowl in his hand, drank the last mouthful of wine, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and a hint of danger flashed in his eyes.

"Then why aren't you chasing after them? Are you waiting for my orders?"

Upon hearing this, the second brother, without suspecting anything, immediately led his men to give chase.

"Didn't the boss already decide to let her go?"

"Third brother, you've been too talkative." Duan Zhuo leaned back and slightly raised his eyes to look at the person sitting next to him. Upon hearing this, the person chuckled.

Even if you become an outlaw, you still can't shake the habits of a noble young master.

"Don't worry, that road is safe, she'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhuo relaxed considerably and crossed his legs: "I heard that Pei Yanzhi has recently been catching fugitives in Ling'an?"

“He is engaged to the Wen family, so even if he is a fugitive, he has to come back.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhuo did not ask any further questions.

His feud with Pei Yanzhi was not related to others. Letting Wen Caifu leave was a sign of his self-restraint, not a sign of submission.

Wen Caifu ran along the dense forest for an unknown distance before collapsing when she saw the Imperial City Guards.

"It's Miss Wen!"

"quick!"

The sound of hurried footsteps approached, and Wen Caifu's tense nerves completely relaxed.

When I woke up again, it was three days later.

The familiar house and the calming fragrance made Wen Caifu feel comfortable.

"Miss, you're awake?"

When Lvzhi came in carrying a basin of water, she saw Wen Caifu open her eyes, and she quickly went over to her.

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Upon hearing Lüzhi's words, Wen Caifu blinked. Lüzhi understood and poured her a glass of water to feed her.

"Miss, are you feeling better?"

After finishing her water, Wen Caifu tried to get up.

Green Branch helped her sit up, and then she heard her ask, "How...how did I get back?"

Upon hearing this, Green Branch lowered her head and replied after a long while, "It was the officials of the Imperial City Guard who brought Miss back."

"However, the officials of the Imperial City Guard also knew that the matter was important, and they covered their heads the whole way when they brought you back."

Although some people in the capital knew that someone from the Wen family had been kidnapped, they did not know that it was Wen Caifu.

This matter has been kept secret from everyone.

A woman's reputation is of utmost importance, and naturally, it cannot be compromised in the slightest.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Wen Caifu silently lowered her head and said nothing more.

At that moment, inside the Prince Qing's residence, Lu Jiamin heard this and immediately laughed, "Are you sure?"

Lianxiang knelt on the ground and replied, "It's absolutely true, Princess. The one who was kidnapped was Wen Caifu. I heard that the bandit leader wanted to marry her, and the wedding hall was already set up, but she ran away."

Lu Jiamin snorted and threw the jewelry in her hand on the table: "What a pity."

If she were to have an affair with that bandit leader, the Pei family would definitely not allow her to marry him.

However, being kidnapped was enough to ruin Wen Caifu's reputation.

"You know what to do."

Lu Jiamin's gaze met Lianxiang's.

"Slave, let's do it now."

As Lianxiang left, a murderous glint flashed in Lu Jiamin's eyes.

Anyone who dares to try and steal her man should see if she has the ability to do so.

If she can't have it, no one else can.

Xiang Ning and Xiao Ming traveled by boat towards Yangzhou, and her ankle injury had long since healed.

She asked Xiao Ming some questions about Yangzhou and made up her mind.

Whenever Xiang Ning looks up and sees the boundless sky and earth, she feels as if it's a dream.

I can't believe it, she actually ran away.

From now on, her life is completely in her own hands.
