Huo Shuixian followed the team, and as she walked, she was racking her brains to figure out how to get the package related to Murong Ling'er.
She thought to herself, "That package looks heavy. It must contain a lot of good stuff. If it could be mine, I would make a fortune."
As she thought about it, her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.
She deliberately slowed down her pace and fell to the end of the team. When no one was paying attention, she quietly turned back, found Qi Feng, and pretended to be concerned and said, "Captain Qi, you have worked hard on this journey. Let me help you with your things." As she said that, she reached out to take the package.
Chiffon dodged to the side and looked at her warily: "No need, I can carry it."
Huo Shuixian smiled awkwardly: "Captain Qi, don't get me wrong, I just saw that you were tired and wanted to help." But her eyes never left the package.
Chifeng ignored her and quickened his pace.
Huo Shuixian gritted her teeth and came up with another idea. She ran a few steps quickly and deliberately fell on the road ahead, screaming "Ouch".
Qi Feng heard the voice and looked back. Huo Shuixian looked at him pitifully: "Captain Qi, I sprained my ankle. Can you give me a hand?"
For Miss Murong's sake, Chifeng had no choice but to put down his package and help her.
Huo Shuixian took advantage of Chiffon's inattention and reached out to grab the package, but Chiffon saw her and grabbed her wrist: "What do you want to do?"
Huo Shuixian's face changed and she argued, "I...I didn't. I just touched it accidentally."
Chifeng glared at her fiercely: "Don't think I don't know what you are planning. If you have any crooked thoughts again, be careful or I will not be polite."
After saying that, he picked up the package and left without looking back.
Huo Shuixian looked at Chifeng's back with hatred, feeling angry and annoyed, but helpless.
But before she could figure out a practical solution, she was interrupted by Murong Ling'er who appeared on horseback in the distance.
At this moment, Murong Ling'er turned over and got off the horse.
The moment Murong Ling'er appeared on horseback, the fire of jealousy was ignited in the hearts of the convicts.
"Why can she ride a horse while we have to walk?" said a convict sourly.
"That's right, he must have resorted to some shameful means." Another convict echoed.
"Maybe he got this benefit because he was having an affair with someone." Someone speculated sarcastically.
"Humph, maybe this horse is also from a bad background."
......
The convicts spoke to each other, their words filled with jealousy and resentment.
When Murong Ling'er heard these words, her face darkened, but she ignored them and continued to lead the horse forward.
"Damn it! Shut up, everyone! You idiots, how dare you be jealous of others? If you have the guts, you can ride a horse too!"
Chifeng angrily waved the whip in his hand and lashed it hard into the air. As he shouted angrily, the air seemed to tremble.
Although Chifeng's harsh reprimand made the convicts shut up temporarily and stop making noise, it could not stop their jealous glances.
After all, Chiffon's majesty is there, and they dare not offend easily.
However, there was clearly more contempt and disdain in their eyes when they looked at Murong Ling'er.
At this time, Huo Shuixian, who had been paying attention to the situation here, saw Murong Ling'er returning safely, and riding a horse.
Especially when she saw Chifeng giving the huge package to Murong Ling'er, the flames of jealousy instantly burned in her eyes, and her eyes turned red.
Huo Shuixian said sourly, "Oh! Sister, you are really capable! Not only do you have a horse to ride, but someone also gave you such a big gift. I don't know what kind of seductive tricks you used."
Murong Ling'er hadn't responded yet. Chifeng, upon hearing this, glared at her and scolded her, "Huo Shuixian, if you keep on talking nonsense, don't blame me for being merciless! Miss Murong was thanked for saving someone, that was fair and square. How can you slander her like this!"
Huo Shuixian was scolded by Qifeng. Although she was not convinced, she did not dare to say anything more. She just glared at Murong Linger fiercely.
Among these eyes, some even had ulterior motives, secretly speculating about Chifeng's special protection for Murong Ling'er all this time, and believed in their hearts that there might be some secret deal between the two of them.
Although they had such dark speculations in their hearts, no one had the courage to speak these thoughts out loud.
Murong Ling'er didn't care at all about the thoughts of these fugitives. She greeted Chifeng calmly and led her horse to return to the team.
When Huo Jianjie saw that Murong Ling'er was safe and sound, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Murong Ling'er slowly approached with the horse, Huo Jianjie hurried over, his face filled with concern as he anxiously asked, "Ling'er, why are you back just now? What's going on with this package? Do you know those two people? And this horse?"
Murong Ling'er didn't elaborate on Huo Jianjie's questions, but simply replied casually, "I just happened to help them when Captain Qi went to gather information. They were so polite and gave me some gifts to thank me. This horse was bought with the money given by Chu Lingfeng, so it's his."
When Huo Shuixian heard Murong Ling'er's answer, she didn't believe it at all.
She knew in her heart that when Lin Yi searched Murong Ling'er's house, he did not ask anyone to search her body, so she must have money on her.
Thinking of this, she calmly said sarcastically, "Sister, if you want to please Master Chu, just say so. Why use this excuse to deceive us?"
"When the Prince of Chu's mansion was ransacked, they were not allowed to take a single penny."
......
"Huo Shuixian, I'm giving you face, right? If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for killing you!" Murong Ling'er shot a cold look at Huo Shuixian.
Looking at Murong Ling'er's fierce gaze, Huo Shuixian couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Murong Ling'er didn't care at all about the thoughts of these fugitives and Huo Shuixian. She greeted Chifeng calmly and was about to return to the team with her donkey. At this moment, Chifeng called her.
"Miss Murong, here is something that belongs to you."
Hearing Chiffon's words, Murong Ling'er turned her head with a hint of doubt and uttered softly, "Hmm?"
Chifeng quickly took down the largest package on the cart and carefully placed it on the horse's back.
Then, he turned to look at Murong Ling'er and said, "This is a thank-you gift from He Mufeng, the man you saved. They also asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that they will always remember your kindness."
When Murong Ling'er heard what Chifeng said, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She saved people purely out of her own will and didn't expect any reward at all.
She didn't expect that the two men were so thoughtful and specially prepared such a generous thank-you gift.
When Huo Jianjie saw that Murong Ling'er was safe and sound, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
