Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

Dusk fell outside the camp, and the sky grew dark.

Liu Wenying followed the maid without saying a word.

But after walking for a while, her doubts grew stronger.

The direction is wrong.

She served the old lady and knew the camp layout by heart.

The old lady's residence was always the safest inner area, guarded by soldiers and brightly lit.

But the path the maid led her on was getting more and more off track.

The campfires gradually thinned out, and the number of tents decreased, revealing large open spaces all around.

Further ahead lies the edge of the enclosure, where the dark woods resemble a crouching wild beast.

That maid is suspicious!

Liu Wenying paused, which was noticed by the other party.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Wenying clutched her stomach and said painfully, "My stomach is a little upset. I think I ate something bad during the day. You go ahead, I'll go to the restroom and come right back."

She turned to walk back after she finished speaking, but as soon as she turned around, a cold laugh came from behind her.

"Trying to run away?"

His tone was sharp and cold.

Liu Wenying felt a chill run down her spine and ran back with all her might.

"stop!"

Liu Wenying ran forward, her feet sinking into uneven grass, her steps uneven, and she almost fell several times.

She dared not turn around, but the chasing sounds were like a death knell. A stone struck the back of her knee, and the pain made her legs buckle, causing her to fall to the ground.

Before she could react, a dark shadow had already pressed down on her.

The maid's disguise crumbled, and the vulnerability in her eyes vanished completely.

A cold glint suddenly appeared from his sleeve, and a three-inch dagger was drawn in a flash.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, aimed straight at Liu Wenying's face.

The speed was so fast that there was no way to avoid it!

Liu Wenying's pupils contracted sharply, and she grabbed the other person's wrists that were holding the knife with both hands.

"laugh--"

The dagger grazed her cheek, leaving a trail of blood. Warm blood seeped out, but she had no time to care.

The other party was also surprised by her quick reaction. A look of astonishment flashed in their eyes, followed by even more frantic behavior.

She twisted her wrist violently, and with several forceful movements, the dagger narrowly pierced Liu Wenying's face.

Liu Wenying gritted her teeth, gathering all her strength in her hands.

Thanks to the original owner's experience in farm work, carrying water and chopping wood were no problem, and her muscles and bones were also well-developed.

She exerted sudden force, flipped her wrist, and with a cry of pain from the other person, the dagger clattered onto the pile of rocks.

Liu Wenying flipped over and climbed up, rushing forward with both hands and feet.

Before he could run two steps, his ankle was gripped tightly by a hand.

Liu Wenying was pulled down and fell to the ground. The maid took the opportunity to straddle her and grabbed her neck with both hands.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

A feeling of suffocation washed over her, and Liu Wenying's face turned bright red.

She tried desperately to pry the other person's fingers off, but the other person was extremely strong and squeezed even tighter.

Liu Wenying's vision gradually darkened, and her consciousness began to blur.

Am I going to die?

As consciousness sank into darkness, I heard Luo Luo's soft, sweet voice calling me "Mother."

And... a magnificent figure.

No, she can't die yet...

On the brink of life and death, Liu Wenying's hands groped haphazardly, grabbing at the soil and weeds before touching something cold.

She grabbed the dagger and, with all her might, stabbed it forward!

"Pfft..."

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh followed.

The pressure on his neck suddenly loosened.

Under the moonlight, the maid stared wide-eyed, looking down in disbelief at the dagger in her abdomen.

Warm liquid gushed out from between her fingers.

"You, you..."

The maid's lips moved, but she ultimately didn't utter a word, and her body slumped backward.

Blood splattered on my face, hot, sticky, and smelling of rust.

Liu Wenying sat on the ground, breathing heavily, and looked down at her hands.

My palm, which had held the dagger, was sticky and covered in blood, a glaring red.

She...killed someone.

I've been here for so long and suffered so much.

A man struggled to survive with Luo Luo, but after entering the Duke's mansion, he was wronged, plotted against, and almost kicked out.

But no matter how bitter or difficult things got, she never imagined that one day she would take someone's life with her own hands.

But that person came for his own life.

It's either her death or my own.

But this is not modern times, and there is no sound legal system to protect her.

This is the royal hunting grounds, filled with imperial guards, palace guards, and dignitaries.

The body will be discovered sooner or later. What will she do then? What will Luo Luo do?

My head was buzzing, like countless bees were flying around.

Liu Wenying dared not think of anything else; she had only one thought: run!

She staggered to her feet, turned and ran.

Ignoring everything, completely lost and confused.

My mind was a complete mess, but I dared not stop.

In her panic, she stumbled into a hard, warm chest.

The force was so great that she almost fell to the ground.

Liu Wenying looked up, her vision blurred, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing the dark hem of the newcomer's robe, he mistook him for a patrolling guard and was so frightened that he became incoherent and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Don't arrest me, I didn't mean to, she tried to kill me... I didn't mean to kill her, I really didn't..."

The man didn't speak, but simply supported her steadily.

Liu Wenying trembled like a fallen leaf in the wind, looking extremely disheveled.

Her lips were bitten until they turned white, her chin was stained with drops of blood, and her bright almond-shaped eyes were red from crying.

On his fair face, cold sweat and uncontrollable tears blurred the bloodstains, creating a gruesome, red and white mess.

There was also a thin, long bloodstain on the side of his face, which was accidentally cut during the fight. The wound was not deep.

"It's alright, it's alright."

He tried to comfort her, but Liu Wenying seemed not to hear him; her pupils widened and became somewhat unfocused.

The moonlight illuminated her face, a mixture of tears, blood, mud, fear, and the bewilderment of surviving a catastrophe.

Pei Dingxuan held her in his arms, comforting her repeatedly.

"Liu Wenying, it's me. I'm alright, I'm really alright."

His voice seemed to possess a strange power, and Liu Wenying gradually calmed down.

By the moonlight, she looked up at him.

In those usually calm phoenix eyes, emotions she couldn't understand surged.

Anger, astonishment, and heartache.

It was as if he had seen something that broke his heart.

"Grandpa..." Liu Wenying murmured.

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Pei Dingxuan frowned and stared intently at the mottled bloodstains on her face.

"What happened? Who hurt you like this?"

In Liu Wenying's eyes, he was always unfathomable, like a cold pool and a pale moon, rarely losing his composure in the slightest.

But at this moment, the tenderness in his eyes was almost overflowing, which strangely calmed her broken mind little by little.

My wildly beating heart gradually slowed down, and the trembling all over my body lessened a bit.

She looked at his face so close to hers, sniffed, and said weakly, "Sir, this isn't my blood."

Liu Wenying forced herself to calm down and recounted in detail how she had just been lured, attacked, and fought back desperately.

By the end, her voice was trembling and she couldn't speak properly, and tears welled up uncontrollably again.

"Sir, she's dead..."

Liu Wenying's throat tightened, making it impossible for her to utter a single word. "Am I...am I going to pay with my life?"

Her face was deathly pale, her hair disheveled, and her face was streaked with tears and blood, making her appear so fragile that it was heartbreaking.
