After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I leaned closer to where Gongsun Wen was sitting and said, "I'm just purely curious. An older bachelor like you can't even look down on a peerless woman like Hua Wushuang. I'm wondering if there's a hole in your brain that can't be filled with cement and sand."

Gongsun Wen glared at me and said, "Don't come any closer. I don't hit women, but if you continue to be so insolent, don't blame me for being rude."

"Hmph, you're welcome, I won't..." Before I could finish my words, the wheel of the carriage hit a stone, and the whole carriage couldn't help but shake. I was leaning forward to scare Gongsun Wen, but the bump made me lose my balance and I fell on Gongsun Wen, and my lips just happened to be imprinted on Gongsun Wen's face!

When we reacted, we both screamed "Ah" at the same time. Gongsun Wen pushed me away and tried to stand up in panic. However, he forgot that he was in the carriage and hit his head hard on the crossbar of the carriage. The pain made him cry.

He sat back down, pointed at me and said with tears in his eyes: "You molested me!"

I quickly crawled into a corner and curled up into a ball, my face as red as a tomato.

Although I am a 0-year-old leftover woman and have watched countless romance dramas, I have zero practical experience.

For a person with no experience in love, suddenly kissing an unattainable flower, the panic and shame in his heart are simply indescribable.

When Gongsun Wen scolded me, I didn't even say anything back. It was like the sun was rising from the west.

He wiped his face vigorously with his sleeves until the skin on his face was about to peel. He glanced at me hiding in the corner, buried in the sand like an ostrich, sneered, and said, "Put away your dirty thoughts. I, Gongsun Ziyan, will never marry and have children in my lifetime, so just give up on that idea."

I got furious when I heard that. The raging fire burned away the little shame in my chest. I raised my head abruptly and said through gritted teeth, "Gongsun Wen, even if I can't get married in this life, I will never fall in love with you. It's your business if you like to act noble, please don't involve me. If I get close to you again in the future, I will no longer be named Zhao!"

After that, I yelled, "Stop the car!"

Gongsun Wen was startled and asked anxiously, "Are you crazy? We haven't left the city yet. If you stop the car now, Zhao Changfeng's men will catch up with you soon."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "The most dangerous place is the safest. Let's go back to the General's Mansion now. After a few days, when I feel better, we will find a way to leave the city."

At this time, a team of royal guards happened to pass by. The sound of horse hooves, footsteps and shouts made us tremble with fear.

It seems that Zheng Xian has discovered that we have left the palace. I didn't expect him to react so quickly and immediately launch a city-wide search.

We just left the palace not long ago and haven't even left the city gate. If we continue westward, we will definitely be caught.

Gongsun Wen quickly leaned over the small window behind the driver and whispered, "Go to the general's mansion and tell the carriages ahead to go with us."

The driver pulled the reins, the horses stopped, and the driver shouted. The driver of the carriage in front also stopped the carriage, and then our two carriages stopped on the side of the road, waiting for the Royal Guards to pass before turning around.

Every second I waited, I felt like my heart was being roasted on a fire.

I finally escaped from the palace, and I never want to go back to that place where people are eaten without mercy.

Zheng Xian's two-faced attitude in front of others and behind others makes me feel sick. I know he is not really kind to me. As for why he wants to keep me around, I haven't figured it out yet.

I used to be so sincere to him, but later I found out it was all a lie. This heart-wrenching sadness is like a dormant volcano, which cannot erupt but burns me to the core.

Gongsun Wen saw that I was so nervous that beads of sweat kept coming out of my eyes, and he couldn't help but silently take out a white handkerchief and threw it to me.

A white handkerchief was thrown at my feet. I picked it up, wiped the sweat off my face, took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

At this moment, Du Changfeng's voice suddenly came: "The whole city is searching for wanted criminals now. If you don't have important matters, please stay at home and don't wander around the streets, so as not to be caught as a wanted criminal and end up in jail."

As soon as Du Changfeng finished speaking, the people on the street fled in all directions like birds and beasts.

I held the white handkerchief tightly in both hands, and my face turned pale with nervousness.

At this time, an official came to our carriage to inspect and asked us where we were going.

The groom quickly replied: "Your Excellency, I am going to the General's Mansion."

Zhao Zhenyuan was well-known in the Great Yu Kingdom, and the carriages of generals' mansions were not usually searched. So the official waved his hand and let the coachman pass.

But we hadn't taken a few steps when we heard Wei Yi's voice from outside: "General Du, did you get anything after the search?"

Du Changfeng replied, "General Wei, we haven't found any trace of Ah Man. Just now, the soldiers at the city gate reported that they didn't leave the city. So, it seems that we only need to search in the city."

Wei Yi hummed and said, "His Majesty was furious when he learned that Ah Man had left. General Du must bring Ah Man back to the palace."

"Yes, I will live up to your Majesty's trust." Du Changfeng said loudly.

The sweat on my body has soaked my clothes, and I feel so uncomfortable.

But what’s even more frustrating is that the two people outside are hesitating. If we don’t leave, we might be exposed.

Fortunately, our carriage started moving, but after a few steps, Du Changfeng stopped the carriage and asked loudly, "Who is in the carriage? Where are you going?"

We did not greet the coachman before getting on the bus, so he had to honestly say, "The people in the bus are guests of the General's Mansion, and we are going to the General's Mansion now."

"Guests from the General's Mansion?" Du Changfeng looked at the two carriages in confusion. Logically speaking, the carriages for the guests of the General's Mansion should not be so ordinary. Mrs. Zhao's maiden family is the Mansion of Grand Tutor Gui. Du Changfeng is too familiar with the ways of Grand Tutor Gui's family. Every time they go out, they are so grand that they are afraid that others don't know that they are from the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Apart from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, the General's Mansion had no other poor relatives. General Zhao had no father or mother, and his first wife's parents were also dead. His ex-mother-in-law was beaten to death by Madam Zhao.

The more Du Changfeng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He shouted, "Everyone in the car, get off and be questioned."

I looked at Gongsun Wen in horror, and saw that Gongsun Wen was also frowning, as if thinking about a countermeasure.

After Du Changfeng shouted for a while, no one in our two carriages got off. Du Changfeng was so angry that he raised his spear and said, "Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty. I will shout again. Everyone in the carriages must get off and be questioned. If you still refuse to change, don't blame me for being rude!"

At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves came. I was very familiar with this "clack clack" sound of horse hooves, it was gray.
