After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

I thought I was going to make a fortune today and fleece some bandits when I was near the capital. But I didn't know that they were not real bandits at all, but some vicious vagrants and ruffians pretending to be bandits.

"You bastard, explain everything to me in detail, or I won't let you off!"

Yuxiu was so angry that she kicked the man on the ground hard. This kick happened to hit his wound, which made him scream even louder.

Yuxiu picked her ears and saw that he was extremely pale and looked like he was about to die. She had no choice but to pull a hemp rope over and tie up his legs. Only then did the bleeding from his wounds slowly stop.

Over there, Cui had already helped the young lady bandage her wounds and woke up the two girls who were knocked unconscious. Then they came to Yuxiu's side together.

"Because someone paid us a large sum of money to kidnap the city lord's legitimate daughter, Miss Ma, and then find a way to sell her to a remote place, so that she...she will never be able to return to Yanyun City again in her lifetime..."

After the man finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Yuxiu, and saw that she was frowning and had no reaction. He then looked at the other people who were staring at him fiercely. He couldn't help swallowing, and dared not hide anything anymore. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and confessed everything he knew.

"We couldn't survive in Yanyun City in the first place. We accepted so much money this time and were afraid that sooner or later we would be discovered and silenced. So we decided to kidnap Miss Ma and leave quickly. Anyway, there are refugees everywhere outside. We can just find a place to live with the money..."

"Who is it? What's the name of the person you're trading with?"

Miss Ma screamed in despair, then pounced forward, stabbing the man with the golden hairpin in her hand.

The golden hairpin stabbed into the man's chest again and again, and every time it was pulled out, a string of blood would come out. She was so angry that her whole body could not help shaking. According to this man, if she was really taken away by them, she would probably have to live a life worse than death in the future.

Seeing that she looked very crazy, Yuxiu did not go forward to stop her. The man just now had already explained that these things were discussed by their boss with others. As for who that person was, no one could know except their boss.

However, the boss had already been shot dead by Yuxiu with an arrow, so there was no point in saying all this. We should always be more careful in the future, as after a long time, someone might reveal their true identity.

By the time the two little girls reacted and tried to pull Miss Ma away, the man had been stabbed to death by her and was almost turned into a sieve. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose and had stopped breathing.

"I...I...he..."

When Miss Ma saw that the man was dead, she couldn't help but panic. The golden hairpin in her hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Yuxiu with a pale face.

"My guards are gone, and the horses have all been scared away. I wonder if you two would be willing to take us back to Yanyun City?"

She was a little nervous. This time she took people out of the city because it was her mother's death anniversary. Every year on this day she would go to her mother's grave in person to pay tribute, so she didn't bring any money with her.

She thought of asking Yuxiu and the other man to send her back, and she would also ask her father to thank her savior.

Although Yanyun City is not big, it is the only way for Yuxiu and Cui to enter the capital, so she did not refuse. She asked Hongyun to pull the carriage over and prepared to take the three of them, master and servant, away together later.

The guards had just checked and found that none of the dozen people survived, all of them were hacked to death by those people. Miss Ma and two maids dragged them to the grass by the roadside and put them away.

These people were sent by her father to escort her, but now they have lost their lives here to protect her. She had no choice but to go back first and ask her father to send someone to deal with it.

As for the bandits, Yuxiu also collected all their money and valuables. Since these people were planning to leave, they still had a lot of good things on them. The boss alone took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained more than one thousand taels of silver bills. Among them, there were five one hundred tael silver bills that were particularly neat and had a faint fragrance on them.

Yuxiu wrapped the things looted from the bandits in a piece of cloth and threw it on the carriage.

This place is not far from Yanyun City. Yuxiu learned in the car that Miss Ma is named Ma Jiaorong, fourteen years old this year, and the only child of City Lord Ma and his first wife. However, Ma Jiaorong's mother died of illness when she was three years old. City Lord Ma later remarried and now has two sons and a daughter.

"My mother has taken good care of me over the years. There is no dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children in our family, and the sisters are particularly harmonious..."

Ma Jiaorong kept chattering all the way. Perhaps it was because Yuxiu and the other girl were her saviors, and she was so frightened today that she wanted to ease her emotions, so she was completely unguarded. Even when the two little girls kept pulling her sleeves, she still told many stories about the Ma family.

Yuxiu and Cui Shi didn't say anything either. They just nodded and said "hmm" occasionally to show that they were indeed listening. The others didn't express any opinions.

These have nothing to do with them. They have no position or qualifications to interfere in other people's family affairs. Besides, even a judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs, not to mention that they are just two ordinary women. Let's not get involved in them.

If you rashly interfere in other people's affairs, it would seem that you don't know the seriousness of the matter.

It's just causing trouble for yourself for no reason. Yuxiu is smart now and won't do such a stupid thing.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that Yuxiu, who was sitting on the carriage, saw a city appearing in front of her, with some large characters written on it in a flamboyant style.

Smoky City

Looking at these big words, Yu Xiucai remembered that when she was in Phoenix City, the city lord gave her two letters, one of which was written to the city lord Ma of Yanyun City.

At that time, I was thinking that if I couldn't enter the city, I would take this letter to find the city lord. However, according to the current situation, the letter would be of no use.

As Yuxiu had expected, as soon as their carriage arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city came out. They wanted to collect some entrance fee, but Ma Jiaorong's maid had already lifted the curtain and said something. The soldiers dared not make things difficult for them and hurriedly pulled away the wooden stakes blocking the city gate and let them enter the city.

It is no exaggeration to say that although Yanyun City is very small, it is the most prosperous city that Yuxiu and her daughter have ever seen along the way.

It was already mid-afternoon, and the streets were still bustling with people coming and going. Whether they were hawkers carrying loads on their shoulders or pedestrians carrying baskets, they all had a look of satisfaction on their faces, and one could tell at a glance that they were leading a stable and prosperous life.
