When the two of them arrived at the Marquis's residence, Chan'er instinctively snatched the medicine box from Zi'er's hand and said, "Madam, I came here in a hurry and found a small carriage. It's simply too small to accommodate your maid!"
Zi'er's expression suddenly turned ugly. She glanced at Lin Yiwan and heard her say calmly, "It's okay. We can squeeze in a little bit!"
Chan'er replied nervously, "There's really no room. This is just an ordinary shopping carriage, and it's been around for ages. I'm worried it'll fall apart on the way, and then we'll be left with nowhere to go!"
Lin Yiwan finally understood that Chan'er just didn't want Zi'er to follow her.
She said bluntly, "In that case, then you can stay. After all, doesn't the driver know how to get to Zhuangzi? He can also take us master and servant there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Zi'er directly into the carriage.
Chan'er said anxiously, "How can that be possible? I have to serve the young lady when I return. I'll just listen to Madam Hou and squeeze in!"
She stepped onto the carriage nimbly and urged the driver to leave quickly.
Lin Yiwan was already worried at this time. It was getting dark and the city gates were about to close. If she left the city at this time, she would definitely have to wait until dawn to come back.
She exchanged glances with Zi'er and subtly probed, "Chan'er, is your young lady's birthday coming up soon?"
Chan'er was surprised and replied, "No, Madam Hou, you must have remembered it wrongly. My daughter's birthday has already passed. It was in March!"
Lin Yiwan raised her hand and patted her forehead: "Look at my memory, I really forgot. I was thinking of preparing a birthday present for her myself!"
Chan'er said with a smile: "Madam Hou, it's okay for you to forget things easily. You can prepare a birthday gift for our young lady. It's not too late to prepare it now after the New Year!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "That's right!"
The carriage quickly left the capital and headed straight for Sangjiazhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.
At this time, Li Delu had already hurried to the Marquis' Mansion and had lost contact with the person Ling'er sent to deliver the message to the palace.
He stood outside with an anxious look on his face and shouted, "Miss Ling'er, Miss Ling'er!"
Ling'er ran out of the house with a puzzled look on her face and asked in surprise, "Eunuch Li, why are you here?"
Li Delu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Don't ask for now, young lady. Where is the Marquis' wife? Hurry and invite her out. Come to the palace with me immediately. This is a matter of utmost urgency!"
Ling'er said helplessly, "Eunuch Li, you're a step too late. Madam has just left the city with the maid sent by the Sang family. They said that the old lady of the Sang family accidentally broke her leg and is in danger of her life!"
"Ah? What a coincidence?" After hearing this, Eunuch Li was so shocked that his face turned pale.
Ling'er then asked, "Eunuch Li, what happened in the palace?"
Li Delu replied in a trembling voice, "The Empress is bleeding, and Imperial Physician Lin said she's going to have a premature birth!"
Ling'er spoke quickly, "Then we must hurry and get the Madam back. Eunuch, please hurry to the palace and send a doctor to the Sang Family Farm to avoid delaying the Sang Family Madam's treatment!"
Li Delu knew in his heart that this was the best solution.
He just didn't understand why it was such a coincidence.
He didn't dare to think too much about it and immediately rushed back to the palace.
Ling'er also quickly sent people to chase Lin Yiwan, praying that she could be brought back before the city gates were closed.
Lin Yiwan, who was sitting in the carriage, had already discovered something was wrong. This was not the official road leading to the Sang family's farm.
She asked Chan'er in a serious tone, "Where are you going?"
Chan'er replied respectfully, "It's to the village. The original road is blocked by some rocks, so we have to take a detour!"
Lin Yiwan's face immediately darkened, even though after testing, she found that the woman in front of her was indeed Sang Qiutang's maid Chan'er.
But he took her on a detour on purpose, which was very suspicious!
She spoke without hesitation: "A few big rocks are nothing to be afraid of. Zi'er has some strength and can move them!"
Chan'er advised: "Madam Hou, there is clearly a way to go, why do you have to waste your energy moving stones?"
Zi'er interrupted dissatisfiedly: "It's my energy that's being wasted, not yours. It's your turn to meddle in other people's business. Our wife asked you to go back, and you dare not listen?"
Chan'er didn't expect her to speak so harshly, and her eyes suddenly turned red with grievance.
She argued in a trembling voice, "I was thinking of you, why are you taking my kindness for granted? We can reach the farm a little further, why go back and waste time?"
Lin Yiwan winked at Zi'er, then immediately got out of the carriage, placed her sword on the driver's neck, and said, "Return!"
Not only did the driver turn a deaf ear to the warning, he even whipped the horse's butt hard with his whip.
The carriage suddenly sped up, almost throwing Zi'er out.
Without further hesitation, she immediately raised her voice to warn Lin Yiwan, "Madam, there's a trick!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her foot and kicked the driver out.
The coachman was no weakling either. He flipped over deftly in the air and raised his whip to whip Zi'er.
"Snap!" The horsewhip was pulled out of the air, and Zi'er retreated a long distance.
The two people outside were already fighting each other, and the cicada inside was no longer disguised.
She taunted him, "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly pressed the exquisite crossbow tied to her wrist.
Lin Yiwan just managed to turn her head to avoid it, and saw Chan'er quickly darting out of the car.
In a split second, she screamed outside: "Don't fight any longer, there's a cliff ahead, retreat quickly!"
Zi'er's face suddenly changed. Seeing that the carriage was about to fall off the cliff, she immediately grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist and carried her out.
The two rolled into the bushes, and Zi'er became Lin Yiwan's scapegoat.
Hearing her groan of pain, Lin Yiwan immediately asked, "Zi'er, how are you?"
"Puff!" Zi'er struggled to stand up, lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
She raised her hand to wipe it and said, "It's okay. I think I have some internal injuries. Madam, are you hurt?"
Lin Yiwan was naturally not injured, she was well protected by Zi'er.
She quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Zi'er's mouth, saying anxiously, "We can't stay here for long. Let's go!"
Chan'er, however, chased after them with the coachman. She sneered and said, "Madam Hou, you're really lucky. Even this fall didn't kill you!"
Lin Yiwan asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Chan'er spoke obscurely, "Since you're about to die, I'll let you know. I'm the same as that concubine from the Pei family. We were both carefully trained by our masters since childhood and sent to the Sheng Dynasty to gather intelligence as barbarian spies!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Another barbarian spy!
Is this capital city a sieve? How could so many things get through?
