I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Gao was so angry that she jumped up and down. She never expected that Qi Motai would attack her for Yu Muyan.

Seeing that both sides were furious and about to confront each other, the Lord of Huiyang County came and sternly scolded: "Enough! What nonsense is this? We are all family, why are you quarreling here? You are so old, but you are still bickering and making a fool of yourself for the people below!"

Gao felt insulted and thought that the whole family had ganged up on her to bully her, so she left in anger! She was going to teach them a lesson!

This unpleasantness was soon dispelled by the children's laughter.

However, Yu Muyan and Qi Motai each had their own concerns about this matter.

After nightfall, Wan Jie'er and the others were reluctant to part.

Yu Muyan felt sorry for all the children and couldn't bear to leave them. Wan Jieer even said, "Mom, isn't Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? Take Brother Qi and Brother Xing home? They haven't seen their sister yet."

The Lady of Huiyang County also said, "It would be good to take them all home to stay for a few nights, but you will be more tired with so many children."

Lin Weiqiao said: "Yes, madam, brothers and sisters all like to be lively, and it would be bad if any of them were missing."

She was thinking that since the second wife had obtained the title, she would naturally no longer pay attention to the first wife, and there were so many children.

Xing'er is still young, so at most he can just stay in the yard and go out less often, and let the maids and old women be more on guard.

Therefore, Yu Muyan took the five children back, and Qi Motai sent them back personally, as it was not safe after dark.

There were so many people that two carriages were needed to accommodate them.

Yu Muyan and her three younger sisters Fan, Yue, Xing, and Chunqing took one, while Lin Weiqiao and her younger sister Wan, Qi, and Nanny Guo took another.

The journey back was very lively.

Sister Fan also asked Qi Motai who was sitting outside the carriage, "Uncle Tai, why don't you live in my house?"

Qi Motai smiled and said, "You all went back, leaving my aunt and grandmother alone at home. I have to go back to accompany her, otherwise she will be so bored."

"Then when my uncle and grandfather come back, we will definitely come again. Uncle Tai, can't you stay at our house?"

"Do you miss Uncle Tai that much?"

Yu Muyan said, "Sister Fan, don't bother Uncle Tai. Uncle Tai has things to do."

Qi Motai said, "When Uncle Tai is free, I will definitely come to see you."

They soon arrived at the Bo's Mansion. Qi Motai first picked up the three children, and then reached out to help Yu Muyan. He was a little hesitant, but still reached out his hand.

Yu Muyan also hesitated, raised her eyes to look at him, and let him hold her. She felt that they shouldn't be so distant from each other.

However, at the moment when Qi Motai helped her get off the carriage, a hidden arrow suddenly flew out from somewhere and came straight at her at lightning speed!

She was completely unprepared. When she saw the hidden arrow was only inches away from her, Qi Motai reacted almost instinctively and grabbed the hidden arrow with his bare hands at the fastest speed in his life!

"Ah!" She was so frightened that she collapsed in the carriage, pale with horror.

Before they could react, the second and third arrows appeared.

"Hide in the carriage quickly!" Qi Motai pushed her back into the carriage. She had never experienced such a dangerous situation before. She was shocked, panicked and scared. She was at a loss!

But now that Sister Fan and the others were all there, she could not care about herself, and hugged the three children, protecting them with her body, and repeatedly said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Fan Jie'er and the others were frightened and started crying, snuggling in her arms.

Her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She gasped for breath and her body couldn't stop shaking. She hugged her three children tightly with both hands, and was worried about Wanjie and Qige who were behind her.

Lin Weiqiao, who was at the back, had already gotten off the carriage. When she saw the commotion in front, before she could react to what was happening, she saw hidden arrows piercing the carriage in front.

Lin Weiqiao was so frightened that she quickly got Wan Jie'er and Qi Ge'er back into the carriage, and hid in the carriage herself, shouting, "Hurry up, someone is here, there's an assassin!"

After calming down a bit, Nanny Guo quietly leaned over and said, "Mom, there seems to be no movement."

At this time, Mugua led a group of servants and rushed out, surrounding the two carriages tightly.

Qi Motai had successfully dodged the hidden arrows and roughly knew which corner they were fired from, so he ordered a few servants to chase them. He had to ensure the safety of Yu Muyan and others first.

He first carried the five children back to the Bo Mansion safely, and then helped Yu Muyan back.

At this moment, Yu Muyan felt so weak that she couldn't even walk steadily, and she had to rely on others for support to move most of her body.

At this critical juncture, Qi Motai couldn't care less and simply let Yu Muyan lean on his arms and personally sent her to the mansion.

For some reason, the moment she leaned on his chest, Yu Muyan's originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down at this moment.

This scene made Lin Weiqiao very envious. They were both frightened, but Yu Muyan had someone to comfort her in time, while she could only rely on her own strong heart. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Is this the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role?

After entering the mansion, Qi Motai asked Chunqing to support Yu Muyan, and told Lin Weiqiao, "Mother Lin, take good care of your wife and brothers and sisters. I have to find the murderer!"

Yu Muyan said worriedly: "No, this is too dangerous..."

He smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll bring more people with me, just protect yourself and the child."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, leaving behind a solid and reliable figure in the distance.

After returning to Shuangxiyuan and comforting several children, Yu Muyan and others were still unable to calm down for a long time.

The last incident with Yu Muliu was enough to make Lin Weiqiao feel frightened. Now this kind of thing happened again. If it happened a few more times, Lin Weiqiao would be so scared that she would have a heart attack.

She asked someone to prepare a few bowls of calming soup, and everyone drank one bowl, so that they would not lose their souls.

When Banqing and Aunt Lian found out, they rushed over in a hurry. They were relieved to see that they were safe and just frightened.

"The young lady was just out for a wedding banquet. We are already at home. Who is the villain who is so bold as to cause trouble in front of the mansion?" Ban Qing said in confusion. "Fortunately, the Second Young Master is here, otherwise... God must have saved us."

"That's right. Madam rarely sees outsiders in the past. How could there be an enemy who wants to kill her? And it just so happens that my brothers and sisters are here." Aunt Lian also felt nervous.

Lin Weiqiao and Yu Muyan looked at each other, and Lin Weiqiao said, "Master Tai went to check, but I don't know if he can find out. It happened too suddenly, and no one was prepared."

There were several lights on in the room, and some calming incense was lit. There were also so many people talking, one after another. Gradually, the fear I had just felt faded.

After Banqing and Aunt Lian left, it was already late at night and an autumn wind started to blow outside, bringing a slight chill.
