The temperamental white moonlight is back, and the entire Marquis's family obediently calls him

Chapter 93 She really regretted it

"What's going on outside?" Miss Lin asked loudly.

The groom, who should have responded, remained silent.

The group exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of panic in the other's eyes.

The cries for help in the distance grew increasingly desperate. Zhou Ming'an could no longer sit still and tried to lift the curtain, but Miss Lin grabbed his arm: "Are you crazy!"

"We don't know what the situation is outside. What if you encounter danger when you go out?"

Zhou Ming'an said urgently, "I recognize the person who called for help. She was my former head maid. I can't just stand by and do nothing."

Miss Lin refused to let go no matter what, and the others tried to dissuade her.

Until voices could be heard outside again.

"Ladies, it's dangerous here. We have prepared another carriage. You need to move quickly."

Zhou Ming'an recognized the voice as that of the guard who had come out with her to protect her.

The group then lifted the curtain.

Ms. Lin, who was sitting on the outermost side, was about to get off the bus when she was startled by the scene in front of her.

The driver was seen lying on the ground, black blood flowing from his mouth.

Several guards lay sprawled on the ground, their fates unknown. Only the guard who had spoken earlier was unharmed and able to make arrangements for them.

Miss Lin gagged and got out of the car, her face pale.

Since the new carriage belonged to the Marquis's residence, Zhou Ming'an should have boarded first, and everyone tacitly made way for him.

As Zhou Ming'an got into the car, he frowned and reminded the guards, "When the men arrive, remember to send someone to check the woods. I heard Cuilan calling for help."

However, as soon as she got on the bus, she saw a familiar face.

"you!……"

Just as Zhou Ming'an was about to cry out, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Girl, don't make a sound, don't force me to take action."

"..."

Zhou Ming'an stared blankly at Cuilan.

Cuilan avoided her gaze and pointed at her cloak with her dagger, indicating that she should take it off.

Just as Zhou Ming'an took off his cloak, the carriage suddenly started moving. The two horses pulling the carriage galloped forward like madmen, and the two people inside the carriage clung tightly to the carriage to avoid being thrown out.

"Ming An!"

Several young women outside gasped in surprise, the loudest being Miss Lin's heart-wrenching scream, but they were quickly left far behind the car.

Cuilan took the cloak and draped it over herself, then asked Zhou Ming'an to remove his hairpins and jewelry.

Zhou Ming'an finally couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Cuilan gave her a complicated look, but didn't say anything.

She lifted the curtain and looked outside to make sure the speed wasn't too fast before turning to Zhou Ming'an and saying, "Miss, jump down."

Zhou Ming'an was taken aback.

Before Cuilan could say much, she grabbed Zhou Ming'an's wrist and tugged at it: "To make a long story short, Chu Yuan'er wants to harm you. She's going to have someone ruin your reputation so you'll have to marry hastily, and then she can use that opportunity to plant her own people in the Marquis's mansion."

Zhou Ming'an was naive, but she wasn't stupid. She quickly understood the whole story and also realized Cuilan's intentions.

"You...are you going to take my place?"

Cuilan was already about the same age and had a similar build as her, and now she was wearing her cloak and jewelry...

Cuilan: "There's no other way, this is the only way to lure her out."

"Otherwise, without evidence, everything will be in vain."

"Girl, stop talking and jump! Jump into the grass, it won't hurt too much."

"Jump down and run deep into the woods. Liu Muyuan will be there to meet you... I know you might not trust us now, but this is the only way."

As Cuilan spoke, she stepped aside.

But Zhou Ming'an looked at her and opened his mouth: "What about you? You'll be in danger."

"..."

Cuilan was stunned.

In a few moments, she forced an ugly and somewhat desperate smile.

"What time is it?...why don't you think about yourself at all?"

Even she knows she has to think about herself.

Why is the girl still like this? I've been fooled by her several times, and I still feel sorry for her.

What will happen to the girl in the future?

Cuilan took a deep breath, quickly turned her head, and shoved Zhou Ming'an away violently.

Before Zhou Ming'an could call out, he fell into the grass and rolled several times before stopping.

Watching her sway as she propped herself up, Cuilan looked away and lowered the curtain again.

She sat in the speeding carriage, a dagger in one hand and a hairpin pulled from her hair in the other, trembling all over.

It's not that she's not afraid.

She was terrified.

But because she was too afraid before, she made so many mistakes and missed the only person who truly cared for her.

She trembled as she pulled a blue handkerchief from her sleeve.

That day, she asked Liu Muyuan why he knew she liked cyan.

Liu Muyuan said that it was the girl who told him.

It turned out that after she left the manor that day, Zhou Ming'an, who could have avoided showing up in person, took the initiative to meet with Liu Muyuan and tore Cuilan's indenture to shreds in front of Liu Muyuan.

Zhou Ming'an told Liu Muyuan a lot about Cuilan, what she liked to wear, use, and eat.

Liu Muyuan desperately tried to explain, "I really have no feelings for Cuilan. It was all just a coincidence. I didn't want Old Madam Lu to escalate her loss of composure, nor did I want Cuilan to suffer a tragic end, so I had no choice but to..."

Zhou Ming'an gently shook his head.

"It doesn't matter anymore, Young Master Liu. Cuilan is a good person. If our fate ends here, I hope you can at least treat her well, just like you treated me."

"Now I can rest assured."

After hearing Liu Muyuan's account, Cuilan remained stunned for a very long time.

She refused to admit that what she had been searching for her whole life, she had already obtained long ago.

But for some inexplicable reason, she still agreed to Liu Muyuan's request.

Even if Liu Muyuan couldn't help her find her parents, even if her life was in danger.

She still came.

She thought that since they had been master and servant, Zhou Ming'an had treated her well, and she was doing this simply to repay Zhou Ming'an's kindness, without any other ulterior motives.

But after hearing Zhou Ming'an's foolish words, Cuilan suddenly realized—

It turns out she regretted it.

She really regretted it.

The galloping horse was shot and killed, and the carriage came to a sudden stop and rolled over.

Despite being prepared, Cuilan was still nearly knocked unconscious. When she regained her senses, she leaned against the carriage, clutching the gold hairpin tightly, listening to the approaching footsteps.

……

On the other side, Zhou Ming'an was pushed off the car, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart.

Fortunately, her martial arts training had yielded some results, and she quickly got up, pondered blankly for a moment what had just happened, and then determined her direction.

Correct.

Cuilan said, "Run into the woods."

We can't go forward; there are bad guys ahead.

She couldn't go back; even the guards responsible for protecting her had been bribed.

Zhou Ming'an turned to look at Lin Zi.

This is truly the only path she has.

Liu Muyuan was in the woods, and although she had no trust in him after hearing Cuilan's words.

But now she has no choice but to take the risk.

Zhou Ming'an glanced again in the direction the carriage had left.

She knows martial arts; she can try to save Cuilan.

But she was now unarmed, without even a hairpin left. How could she possibly win against so many opponents?

Zhou Ming'an gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked into the woods.
