Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 437: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 9

What else can we do now except return obediently?

Do you really want to disregard your dignity and persist here?

Not to mention that this would make her lose face, just think about the fact that she is a well-known and top-notch talented woman in the capital. She could never do such shameless things!

What's more, if the Qi family knew about this, there would be no hope for her to marry into the Qi family.

Feng Zhining sat in the carriage, feeling extremely depressed.

Having lost the strong backing of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and with the uproar caused by the purple book incident, his reputation has now been tarnished and flawed.

Now, what should I do to marry Qi Yuqing as I wish?

Feng Zhining gently rubbed the delicate handkerchief in her hand while her thoughts surged like the tide. Her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts that were difficult to sort out.

Just as Feng Zhining was immersed in her own thoughts, she suddenly heard a soft and cautious voice beside her:

"Miss, look over there...it seems to be Marquis Qi."

Tao Yue is one of the few maids among Feng Zhining's many personal servants who knows her master's true thoughts.

Whenever Feng Zhining heard any news about Qi Yuqing, her eyes would instantly become much brighter than usual.

Over time, Tao Yue naturally guessed Feng Zhining's admiration for Qi Yuqing easily.

Tao Yue saw that Feng Zhining's originally beautiful face was covered with a layer of gloom and looked depressed.

As his eyes moved, he caught a glimpse of Qi Yuqing not far away. An idea came to his mind, and he hurriedly reminded Feng Zhining softly.

As expected, Feng Zhining's delicate body trembled violently when she heard this. She quickly jumped up from her seat and asked anxiously, "Where is it?"

The surprise and anticipation were evident in his voice.

"It's just ahead."

Tao Yue quickly reached out and gently lifted a corner of the car curtain, and gestured slightly in the direction of Qi Yuqing.

Feng Zhining looked in the direction of her finger and saw a tall, handsome young man with an elegant demeanor walking calmly towards Fuxiangji.

The young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as handsome as a jade, and exuded an air of elegance and nobility in his every move.

Feng Zhining knew that Qi Yuqing's daughter Qi Rutang had a special liking for Fuxiangji's food since she was a child.

I guess he came here this time to bring some cakes back to appease his daughter.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhining couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, and she immediately wanted to get up and get out of the car to create an encounter with Qi Yuqing.

Just as she was about to lift the curtain of the car, she suddenly heard a loud commotion behind her.

All I heard was someone shouting, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Then there was a cry of surprise: "Ah~ be careful."

Feng Zhining frowned slightly, her face showing annoyance. She turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, thinking to herself: "What happened? Why is there such a commotion..."

Before he could think about it, he felt the carriage suddenly shake, and with a loud "bang", the carriage he was riding in was hit hard by another speeding carriage.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the unprepared Feng Zhining lost her balance and fell forward, about to fall off the carriage.

"girl!"

Tao Yue, who was standing by, watched Feng Zhining stagger and pale. Her heart instantly rose to her throat and she screamed in horror.

Tao Yue was anxiously trying to reach out and grab Feng Zhining, but suddenly, a sharp hissing sound broke the silence around her.

Their horses were so frightened that they ran forward like wild horses.

Feng Zhining also completely lost control of her body and fell downwards.

With a terrifying crisp "click" sound, Feng Zhining's foot was ruthlessly crushed by the rapidly rolling carriage wheel without any protection.

The sudden severe pain instantly spread throughout her body, and Feng Zhining couldn't help but let out a shrill scream: "Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, her face turned as pale as paper, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

At this time, the scene fell into chaos.

People ran around in panic, shouting for help, and the number of injured people increased.

Feng Zhining was among many injured people and did not attract much attention or concern from others.

When Feng Zhining slowly woke up, it was already the next morning.

She slowly opened her heavy eyelids and tried to adjust to the early morning light.

As soon as she woke up, Feng Zhining immediately noticed a strange feeling on her face - itchy, painful, and a little cold.

She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, and gasped when she touched a thick layer of ointment.

"Peach Moon, Peach Moon!"

Feng Zhining called Tao Yue's name weakly.

After a while, Tao Yue walked into the room quickly, looking a little tired, holding a bowl of medicine.

"Girl, you're finally awake!"

Tao Yue said this with a face full of joy, but seeing Feng Zhining's bewildered look, she quickly explained, "Miss, you fell off the carriage yesterday, your feet were run over by the wheels, and even your face... I applied ointment for you."

Hearing this, Feng Zhining was shocked and struggled to sit up from the bed to check her injuries.

However, as soon as she moved, the piercing pain in her feet made her groan, and beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly appeared on her forehead.

"My foot?! Why does it hurt so much? How badly is it injured?"

Feng Zhining gritted her teeth and asked while enduring the severe pain.

"Don't move yet."

Seeing Feng Zhining trying to sit up, Tao Yue quickly advised, "Your leg bones are broken. The doctor has already taken care of it. You just need to stay in bed and rest."

As she spoke softly, she placed the medicine bowl in her hand on the table beside her, then carefully stretched out her hands, helped Feng Zhining to slowly sit up.

Feng Zhining frowned and tried hard to recall what happened yesterday. The fragmented memories finally pieced together.

However, at this moment, what she was most concerned about was not her injured foot, but her beautiful face: "Then...then how did my face become like this?"

There was obvious anxiety and worry in his voice.

How come she has no recollection of the injury on her face?

Tao Yue hurriedly comforted her, "Don't panic, young lady. When you fell off the carriage, your cheek accidentally rubbed against the ground, so you only have some minor scratches."

"I think it's because I fell and hurt myself, and the pain in my foot made me ignore the pain in my face. The doctor has already seen me, and he said it's nothing serious. I just need to rest well for a few days and I'll be back to normal."

Hearing Tao Yue's answer, Feng Zhining felt a little relieved, but still a little worried, and insisted, "Give me the bronze mirror."
