After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

She held the hot teacup in her hand and glanced around, "Your Highness, where are A Falcon and Jing Zhe? Aren't they coming in for dinner?"

The two of them had been riding around the carriage on horseback, and they must have been exhausted after a day's travel.

Qin Junyu glanced at the door and saw a few horses still standing in the dark. "They are taking the horses to the stable to feed them grass. They will be here soon."

There were not many people accompanying them, and the guards guarding the carriage had to take turns to eat, let alone feed the horses. Qin Junyu gave this task to the two of them.

The waiter brought a bowl of dry naan and a plate of peanuts, put them down with an extremely arrogant attitude, and turned away.

"Hey!" Nian Su called out to the people, "Is this all the food you have at the post station? We have been running around all day, and you don't even give us a bowl of hot soup?"

How could a post station treat guests like this? It was clearly intentional.

The waiter looked impatient. He picked up a piece of naan, broke off a small piece, and threw it into the teacup in her hand. He raised the corner of his mouth proudly and said, "Here, it's ready. Hot soup."

Nian Susu frowned, but held back from getting angry.

After the waiter left, she stretched her neck to look at the two tables of Tayali and Qin Fengtian. They also had only naan and peanuts on their tables, while the caravan at the next table had good wine and meat. Judging from their attire, they were in the same group as the man who was staring at her.

Could it be that the man bribed the waiter to target them?

When he thought of this possibility, Nian Susu immediately turned around to look at the man sitting closest to him.

He had been staring at her, his bearded face unable to hide his obscene smile. He raised the greasy chicken leg in his hand to show off, stuffed a bite into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed with enjoyment.

Nian Susu felt a chill and got goose bumps all over his body.

"What's wrong?" Qin Junyu followed her gaze - a wretched man was eating a chicken leg in a wretched manner.

Nian Susu lowered his voice and said, "I felt that man was staring at me, and his eyes were unfriendly."

She subconsciously lowered her head to look at her clothes. It was just a normal chest-length skirt. Because it would be cold at night, she specially put on a thin cape. "I'm not wearing revealing clothes. You won't say I deliberately seduced him, right?"

In reality, when girls are assaulted, many people’s first reaction is not to condemn the criminals and ask them to die, but to blame the girls for wearing too revealing clothes.

Nian Su Su smiled sarcastically.

Qin Junyu seemed a little surprised. Although he didn't understand why she looked at the matter from such a tricky angle, he still gently comforted her: "Miss Nian, you are not wrong. Don't point the spearhead at yourself. If even you think so, how can those who are worried about you protect you?"

The bitterness in his heart was suddenly covered by warmth, and Nian Susu was so moved that he almost cried. He wished everyone thought this way.

Qin Junyu glanced at the man, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "He is still watching!"

Nian Susu looked at his clenched fist and felt that he was about to swing his fist and hit someone in the next second.

"Forget it, Your Highness. It's better to have less trouble than more. Besides, he didn't do anything. If a fight really breaks out, we will not be in the right." Nian Susu placed his palm on his fist and soothed him softly.

If this happened in Shengjing, Qin Junyu wouldn't have to do anything, she would just pick up a stool and go over, but this was Yanmen Pass, and the waiter dared to openly neglect them. If they offended the local tyrants, they would only end up in trouble. Although Tayali was a princess, this place was still far from Xisu, and she might not be able to help.

Nian Susu poured him a cup of tea and said, "Okay, Your Highness, calm down and eat. We have to continue our journey tomorrow."

She sat sideways with her back facing the man, which helped to reduce her nausea.

She didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and when she thought of the wretched man's look, she couldn't eat even more, so she only ate a few bites and went back to her room to rest.

Nian Susu's room was next to Qin Junyu's, followed by Tayali, Qin Fengtian and Nian Qiaoyue's rooms. The last room was for Axuan and Jingzhe to squeeze in for one night.

Those who stayed in the post station were all people who were on the road. After dinner, everyone turned off the lights and went to rest early, and the lobby on the first floor also returned to peace.

Nian Susu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't that she was being pretentious, but the bed was no different from a piece of wood with a piece of cloth spread on it. Who knows how many people had slept on this cloth, and how many years it hadn't been washed. She could always smell a strange odor when she lay on it.

She tried to fall asleep, and after a mental struggle she finally sat up. It would be better to sleep in the carriage than here. At least the carriage was clean.

She put on her shoes and went downstairs, really intending to sleep in the carriage.

When she reached the door, she heard hurried footsteps outside. She immediately became alert and held the bolt tightly with her hand.

Suddenly, a tall figure came against the door. She was sticking to the door and was startled.

"Miss, there was someone sneaking outside your door just now. Don't come out. I'll chase him." It was Jingzhe's voice.

Nian Susu broke out in a cold sweat, and the wretched man with a full beard immediately came to his mind.

Jingzhe ran to chase someone, her steps hurried, as fast as her heartbeat.

Nian Susu stood by the door for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was approaching.

She turned around and wanted to sit down to catch her breath, but there was a burly, bearded man standing behind her. She was so scared that she backed away and pressed herself against the door. There was no light in the room, and in the darkness he looked like a murderous ghost with his bloody mouth wide open.

The man rubbed his hands and said something she couldn't understand. From his obscene expression, she knew that it must be some obscene words that were unbearable to hear.

Nian Susu was somewhat glad that she didn't understand, otherwise her psychological defenses would have been broken. Now she could still calmly think of a solution.

"Well, you...if you want to talk, please talk to me nicely. If you want gold, silver, jewelry or anything else, I can give it to you!"

Nian Susu put one hand in front of him and hid the other hand behind his back as he carefully pushed the bolt.

After hearing her words, the man laughed even more wantonly, and said in a not-so-standard Central Plains dialect: "She is indeed a Central Plains girl, no wonder she is so pretty! Let me touch her and see if she feels as soft as cotton."

As he spoke, the hands attacked her.

Nian Susu didn't have time to think about it. She turned around and pulled out the bolt as quickly as possible. Before the door was opened or she could shout "Help", someone hugged her from behind. One hand covered her mouth and the other hand was untying her belt.

"Um! Uh..."

"Beauty, the more you struggle, the more I like it! Hahahaha!"

The man was so tall that she had no power to fight back.

The man picked her up and threw her roughly onto the bed.

Nian Susu was so hurt by the cold wooden board that tears came to her eyes.

The man seemed even more excited. He hurriedly took off his own clothes, leaving only his underwear, and then bent over to untie Nian Susu's skirt.

The knot she tied was very complicated and the man didn't know how to untie it, so it became a knot when he pulled it.

Nian Susu was only relieved for a few seconds, and the next second she heard a "hiss" and her skirt was torn in two, revealing her pure white undergarment.
