On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

"Boom" -

The carriage, which had been traveling for half an hour, suddenly stopped. Su Sui'an interrupted all his thoughts and managed to steady himself. Liu'er, who was serving beside him, suddenly hit the wall of the carriage due to inertia.

Before Su Sui'an could speak, Liu'er spoke in a panic, "Miss, we seem to have bumped into someone."

"No, it was this guy who crashed into us himself," the driver corrected.

The driver's name was Datou, and he was the one Su Sui'an had arranged to replace on the day he was reborn.

Not only that, she even changed her carriage into a small black-covered carriage commonly used by civilians.

In order to avoid what happened in her previous life from happening again, she asked one of her maids, Mei'er, to quietly return to the mansion the day before she went down the mountain to help her find out some things and not to make anything public. If she didn't see her return before sunset on the day they went down the mountain, she would find a way to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know that there was a bandit's nest not far from Luojing.

As for those guards who followed Su Sui'an's carriage under the pretext of protection but actually wanted to attract other people's attention, they are probably still looking for people around the Huguo Temple.

Su Sui'an lifted the curtain and took a look at the sky where the sun was gradually setting and the surrounding scenery.

After confirming that she had returned to Luojing, her heart finally relaxed a little, but she didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

A faint groan was heard, successfully causing Su Sui'an to shift her gaze from the sky wrapped in rosy clouds to the person who had been hit... ahem, hit into her carriage on his own.

The driver Datou had already gotten out of the car and half-lifted the man up.

He was a young man wearing plain cotton clothes, with a slender figure and very handsome...?

Su Sui'an blinked in a bit of surprise.

The boy looked to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and despite his height and build, he looked like an adult man.

That face, which was three times more beautiful than that of a woman, had a hint of immaturity and a fragility that could break at any touch.

This kind of awkward yet inexplicable temperament that makes people want to take a few more glances is unforgettable.

Seeing the boy's eyes closed, pale face and cold sweat, Su Sui'an thought for a moment, turned back to the carriage, handed Liu'er a silver token and instructed, "Take the money and my token, ask a few passersby to help take the boy to the clinic, and find a few patrol officers to help."

What Su Sui'an gave Liu'er was the token of the second house of the Changping Marquis' Mansion.

In the Yuan Dynasty, what was important was the prosperity of the family. It was very common for several families to live in one mansion. In order to better distinguish the status of the several families, each mansion had its own token. If we break it down further, the tokens for the master and the servant, the main wife and the concubine, the legitimate sons and daughters were also different. According to the status, the material of the token would be distinguished from gold, silver, cloth, bamboo, and wood.

The royal token is made of jade. In the entire Yuan Dynasty, apart from the current emperor, empress, crown prince, crown princess, only eight princes, princesses, their crown princes and their crown princes' wives can use the jade token.

When Liu'er responded and was about to get off the car, she grabbed Liu'er's wrist again and said, "The more people we find, the better. It would be best if everyone around here knows that we hit someone."

Liu'er didn't understand why, but she was still very supportive.

Soon five or six strong men came and distributed silver to each person. They also stopped a few of the inspectors outside the city and asked them to help, telling them not to make any noise and that saving people was the most important thing.

On the other side, he found a few curious middle-aged women, gave them some money, and asked them to help find out which family the boy who was hit was from.

Soon, Liu'er returned to the carriage.

"Miss, it has been done. The young master has also been sent to the city. Let's..."

"Let's follow and make sure that person is safe before leaving."

Before Liu'er could finish her words, Su Sui'an had already ordered the driver to drive to the city.

The situation seemed very urgent, so those people sent the boy directly to a deserted little clinic not far from the city gate.

Seeing such a big commotion, the inspectors were alarmed, and the common people who were planning to go home without knowing what was going on all came forward to watch. By the time Su Sui'an arrived, the small clinic had been surrounded by people in three layers.

...

"Luckily it was delivered in time. If it was any later, the abrasion on the calf would have scabbed over."

The old doctor stroked his gray beard and told the medicine boy to use medicine to clean the boy's wound without even bandaging it.

"But, I see he looks so pale, and he seemed to have fainted just now. Could he have some other illness?"

Su Sui'an asked with concern, his worry evident in his words.

One of the onlookers outside couldn't stand it anymore and said, "He was hungry. When he came here, he almost fainted from hunger. He only recovered after eating several meat buns from Lao Maitou."

Knowing that the boy was not seriously ill, Su Sui'an felt relieved.

Although this boy doesn't look like someone who has been hungry all year round.

As if he was embarrassed by what was said, the boy who had been silent all this time spoke shyly, "I'm... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it."

Even though he tried very hard to make his tone shy and humble, the toughness in his bones that came from being in a high position for so many years could not be erased.

In her previous life, Su Sui'an had always been among people of various statuses. She knew whether he was pretending or was really shy and humble.

This young man doesn't seem to be simple.

But...

As long as it doesn't hinder her, what does it matter?

Thinking of this, Su Sui'an gave him a soothing smile, "It's okay, it's normal to feel dizzy when hungry. After all, we are all mortals..."

As she spoke, she told Liu'er to give the money for the buns to an old man with dark skin and thick calluses on his fingers from years of hard work.

Just as she was about to say something to comfort the boy, the lady who Liu'er had paid to help find out where the boy lived came back and said, "Young Master, I've asked around, and no one in our neighborhood has seen this young master. He looks unfamiliar, too, so he might be from out of town."

"Poor thing, coming from another place, he must have run out of money and fainted from hunger..."

"If I hadn't met Miss Su today, I'm afraid..."

"What Miss Su? We didn't see Miss Su, we only saw kind people."

Hearing the discussions among the crowd, Su Sui'an knew that his goal had been achieved.

After she dismissed the onlookers and the patrol soldiers who "helped escort" the boy into the city, she smiled and asked the boy, "What is your name, young master? Are you going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital?"

The girl in front of me had bright eyes and white teeth, and her beauty could not be concealed even in men's clothing. There was a perfect smile on her lips that no one could tell, but there was no smile in her eyes.

The young man seemed to be unaware of the coldness in her eyes, as if he was bewitched by her smile. He lowered his head with a red face and spoke hesitantly, "My name...my name is Rong Xian, Rong means easy. I went to Beijing to look for my relatives. On the way, I encountered bandits and my money was robbed..."

He lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.

There was a faint gleam in Su Sui'an's eyes.
