In the bustling city, screams, cries, horse hooves and neighing sounds are intertwined and endless.

"Get out of the way!"

"Don't come over here, Arya. Just stay there!"

"Be careful, don't step on anything. Ouch! My foot!"

"Watch out for my stall, that's all my wealth!"

Luo Shuiyao looked over when she heard the sound and quickly realized that someone was riding a horse in the busy city ahead.

"Come here quickly." The Marquis's wife obviously also realized the reason, and immediately turned around and shouted to Luo Shuiyao and the others.

"Oh! Here they come." Luo Shuiyao trotted forward immediately, and Lu Zhaozhao followed closely behind her.

Seeing them coming, Madam Hou grabbed one of them in each hand and pulled them to the side of the street. "Come, let's stand on the side. Be careful not to get stepped on."

The horse was so fast, like a flash of black lightning, that before they even reached the street, it was already not far away from them.

Luo Shuiyao was anxious, but the road was too crowded and chaotic, and they, being weak women, could not squeeze through. The crowd around them was pushing and shoving in panic, raising clouds of dust.

"Please make way." Luo Shuiyao supported the Marquis's wife with one hand and pushed forward with the other.

Suddenly, she felt something tripping her feet and she fell to one side. As luck would have it, she bumped into the marquis' wife in front of her.

"Madam! Aunt!" The frightened voices of Nanny Sang and Lu Zhaozhao were heard.

Luo Shuiyao finally managed to stand firm, and saw the Marquis's wife falling onto the road, and the man on horseback was already very close.

Luo Shuiyao panicked and reached out to pull but couldn't catch anything. In desperation, she rushed forward.

Finally, at the moment before the Marquis's wife fell to the ground, she fell to the ground before the Marquis's wife landed. The next second, the Marquis's wife fell heavily on her.

In an instant, she felt that all her internal organs had shifted, but she had no time to care about it.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and pull the lady up." Luo Shuiyao pushed the lady up and shouted at the stunned maids and old women.

Nanny Sang was the first to come to her senses and immediately stepped forward to pull up the Marquis' wife. Before she could pull Luo Shuiyao, she saw that the frightened horse had already arrived.

"Ah!" She screamed in fear and hugged the Marquis's wife tightly, closing her eyes. The Marquis's wife had just been pulled up and had not yet recovered when she saw the frightened horse approaching.

I saw the front half of the horse raised high, its hooves waving in the air, and under the hooves was Luo Shuiyao who had not yet stood up.

She was so frightened that she closed her eyes, not daring to watch the bloody scene that followed.

Luo Shuiyao pushed the Marquis's wife up, and just as she was about to stand up, she saw that the frightened horse was already in front of her.

For a moment, her mind raced, but at this moment, she calmed down. The noise around her seemed to fade away, and her eyes were filled with hope for escape.

"How can I escape from the horse's hooves?" She looked around to see if there were any tools that could be used to escape.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Beside her hand lay a spear, and other weapons scattered on the ground nearby. Luo Shuiyao remembered that just now there was a street performer's stall here, someone wielding a spear with great vigor. Now, only the weapons on the ground remained, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Obviously, at that time, the country was in chaos and the street performers had disappeared, leaving only these scattered weapons lying alone on the ground.

"It's you." Luo Shuiyao reached out and picked up the spear on the ground. It seemed like everything took a long time, but in fact it was just a moment.

By the time she had tightened her grip on the spear, the horse's hooves were already falling towards her. Seeing that she couldn't dodge, the vendors watching the scene nearby closed their eyes in dismay.

"What a pity, such a beautiful girl is going to become a dead soul under the horse."

Some of the braver ones saw a surprising scene: the girl grabbed a spear and raised it to hit the horse. With a "snap", the spear hit the horse's head. The horse neighed in pain and fell to the side with its hoof.

Seeing that the horse's hoof had fallen to the side and she was temporarily safe, Luo Shuiyao suddenly jumped up from the ground with a somersault.

The horse was still neighing, its hooves dancing in the air, and it even wanted to rush towards her.

Luo Shuiyao raised her spear and thrust it at the horse's vitals. The horse's heart was located in the middle of its chest, slightly to the left, between its lungs, in the mediastinum. She gripped the spear tightly and thrust with all her might towards that spot.

A sharp, painful neighing sounded, and within a few breaths the horse had fallen to the ground, wailing non-stop. Blood gushed out from the spot where the spear had pierced it, and within a few breaths, it was still.

It wasn't that she was cruel. If she didn't stab the horse's vitals and only injured it, it would surely become even more frantic, and the nearby people and herself would be in danger of being trampled. But if she didn't take action, and the person on the horse failed to stop the mad horse, she would be in even greater danger. So, she had no choice but to act this way.

There was silence all around, and the onlookers opened their mouths wide and looked at her in disbelief.

After a moment, someone reacted and took the lead in cheering, shouting "brave girl". The people seemed to wake up from a dream, and suddenly, the applause was like thunder.

Luo Shuiyao took a few steps back and nearly fell to the ground. Du Juan, who was behind her, quickly caught her up. Her legs were a little weak at this time, and she leaned on Du Juan, letting her hold her.

"Luckily, fortunately, she had attended a class taught by the zoology professor next door when she was in college. She had invited her sisters to attend the class because of the professor's handsome appearance. She never thought that one day it would be used to save her own life." Luo Shuiyao was still in shock, secretly rejoicing.

At this time, the young man riding on the horse stood up in embarrassment and roared at Luo Shuiyao: "Who are you? How dare you kill my horse? Huh? Are you looking for death?" The young man stared at her fiercely with anger on his face.

Luo Shuiyao took a few deep breaths, feeling her heartbeat still rapid, but her legs no longer as weak. She slowly straightened herself, about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she heard someone shouting at her.

Seeing the young man's arrogant look, Luo Shuiyao was not afraid at all. Although she herself had no status or background, she should not forget that she had the support of the Marquis' Mansion behind her.

She glared at the young man who looked at her unkindly and said coldly, "You rode your horse in the busy city, completely disregarding the safety of the people, and now you have the nerve to question me?

The young man glanced around with disdain, raised his chin slightly, looked arrogant, and said in a cold voice: "I have official business to attend to. His Majesty has ordered that all urgent matters can be carried out on horseback. They can just stay away.

Luo Shuiyao was so angry at his unreasonable words that she laughed.

His point was that he had official business to attend to, and since His Majesty had given his approval, he could ride his horse in the street. If the people couldn't avoid it, then that was their business. If they had any questions, they could go to His Majesty.

The surrounding civilians, hearing his words, were furious but dared not speak. They were all common people, how could they dare question His Majesty's decision? Besides, he was riding a horse in a busy city at such a fast speed, who could possibly escape?

The people looked at the young man with indignation, and whispers were heard all around.

Only one person said, "Isn't this the Second Young Master Liu?

"Which Second Young Master Liu?

"Oh, it's the Second Young Master Liu from the Marquis of Zhongjing'an's Mansion.
