Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 430: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 2

For the original owner, those days were like a nightmare. He was confused and dazed all day long and had no idea what was happening in the northern border.

I only vaguely heard that my grandfather was ambushed by the enemy while on patrol and was seriously injured.

Because his injuries were extremely serious, my grandfather had to hand over his military power and hurried back to Beijing for treatment.

Sadly, fate is so cruel. Even though he received the best medical treatment after returning to the capital, my grandfather still passed away due to his severe injuries within just three years of returning to the capital.

Yuan Wei's steps were as fast as the wind, and soon she had quietly circled behind the Bishui Pavilion.

There is a huge rockery separating this place from the front, which cleverly blocks the view, so people in the front cannot notice the movement here.

In addition, the road is on the other side, and even the servants in the princess's mansion rarely set foot here on weekdays, let alone those who come to visit.

Yuan Wei turned a corner and the scene that came into her sight made her furious.

A nanny with a stern face and cold eyes was using all her strength to hold down Yuan Xinkai's head, completely ignoring Yuan Xinkai's desperate struggle in the water, unable to float to the surface to breathe.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Without hesitation, she raised her foot and kicked the nanny hard.

The nanny was completely unprepared for this sudden attack and didn't even have time to react. She fell straight into the water like a cannonball, splashing a large amount of water.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Wei quickly reached out and pulled Yuan Xinkai out of the water.

"Ahem... Fifth Sister..."

Yuan Xinkai was coughing violently and gasping for breath with lingering fear.

Seeing Yuan Wei appear in front of him, he could no longer suppress the fear and grievance in his heart. His body began to tremble involuntarily, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Xinkai and sighed softly. She gently tidied up his messy hair, then held his hand and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. It's all over."

At the same time, Yuan Wei calmly checked Yuan Xinkai's pulse and was shocked.

Yuan Xinkai was not only extremely frightened, but someone also injected a muscle softening powder into his body!

No wonder he was completely powerless to resist the brutality of that nanny just now.

At this time, the nun who fell into the water was trying to climb ashore from the other side and escape.

Yuan Wei's eyes swept over her coldly, and her eyes were as cold as frost in the cold night.

She flipped her jade hand lightly, and a crystal clear ice needle shot out silently and quickly like lightning, accurately hitting the nanny's vital point.

In an instant, the nanny's movements stopped abruptly, and the whole person fell motionless in the water as if she had been cast under a spell.

"I was feeling a bit bored at the Bishui Pavilion, so I thought I'd just take a walk and get some fresh air, but Lai Xi was called away by Liu Gui, who was with my second brother."

Yuan Xinkai said with sobs, his voice full of helplessness and fear.

Yuan Xinkai has always been a lively and active person who can't sit still for a moment.

The people in the Bishui Pavilion were either reciting poems or playing the zither and painting, but such elegant activities really bored him.

So he got up and left the pavilion without hesitation.

However, he hadn't walked far when Yuan Xinkai realized that his hands and feet were somewhat weak.

He didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was because he hadn't gotten enough rest last night because he had been reading the storybook.

At this moment, Liu Gui, the follower of the second brother Yuan Xinchen, hurried over.

It turned out that Yuan Xinchen discovered that Yuan Xinkai had disappeared, and worried that something had happened, so he specially sent Liu Gui to look for him.

Yuan Xinchen wanted Liu Gui to take him back to Bishui Pavilion and not to wander around the princess's mansion to avoid accidentally bumping into anyone.

But how could Yuan Xinkai be willing to go back obediently?

He rolled his eyes, called Lai Xi, the servant beside him, and instructed:

"Go with Liu Gui and explain to my second brother. Tell him that I have some things to deal with and will be back later."

After sending Lai Xi and Liu Gui away, Yuan Xinkai continued to wander aimlessly.

Who would have thought that when he turned around, a nanny appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Yuan Xinkai without saying a word, and walked straight to a remote corner.

What happened next was what Yuan Wei saw.

Yuan Xinkai's body kept shaking, as if he was extremely frightened.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei reached out without saying a word, pulled Yuan Xinkai up and walked out quickly.

Along the way, the two hurried towards the door, but they never met anyone.

This unusually quiet atmosphere makes people feel strange.

Could it be that something broke out in the guest house?

I guess everyone has heard the news and rushed over to watch the fun.

In his previous life, when Yuan Xinkai encountered misfortune, no one came to look for him for a long time...

Thinking of this, Yuan Wei couldn't help but quicken her pace.

"Miss, Seventh Young Master, what are you doing?"

Xingyue widened her eyes and looked at Yuan Wei and the other person who came in in a panic with surprise.

Yuan Wei's clothes were disheveled and her hair was a little scattered, she looked quite disheveled;

Yuan Xinkai standing next to him was in an even worse condition. He was soaked all over, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Xingyue's heart tightened, and her mind quickly recalled the previous situation.

She was originally accompanying the girl in the guest house to change clothes. For some reason, she fell asleep and when she woke up, she was lying on the path in the outer courtyard.

As soon as she woke up, she knew something was wrong. She was about to go find her daughter, but when she turned around, she saw her daughter already supporting the Seventh Young Master and walking quickly towards her.

Seeing the girl and the Seventh Young Master in such a state, her face instantly turned pale, blue and red, and her heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

Xingyue stumbled forward, holding Yuanwei with trembling hands, and asked in a trembling voice:

"Miss, you... please don't scare me, are you okay?"

Yuan Wei shook her head gently and said soothingly:

"I'm fine, but Xinkai accidentally fell into the lake. I have to take him back and change into dry clothes. Go and tell my mother."

Before she finished speaking, Yuan Wei no longer paid attention to Xingyue and helped Yuan Xinkai get into the carriage with difficulty.

Xingyue stood there blankly, looking at the carriage moving further and further away, her heart filled with fear and anxiety.

She knew very well that it was because she had not served him well enough that others had taken advantage of her opportunity.

If anything happens to the girl because of this, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Xingyue bit her lips hard, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Xinkai left the commotion at the Princess's Mansion behind and took a carriage back to the Duke's Mansion.

Everyone in the mansion was stunned when they saw this, and they all wondered what had happened.

For a time, the entire Duke's Mansion was in an uproar because of their return.
