Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 22 Life and Death in a Moment!
"Young master, there's a dispute ahead, involving about twenty or thirty people on both sides. Let's wait here for a while."
“Sister, it seems we have no other choice. There are many people ahead, and it would be bad if we bumped into you again. Let’s do as the driver says.”
Mu Xin Nuan frowned slightly. Something was wrong! Something was very wrong! She and Mu Qing Xuan rarely left the city, so how could it be such a coincidence that they encountered a dispute? Moreover, although they didn't lift the curtain to look outside, the commotion outside was enough to show that there were quite a few people involved!
Moreover, upon closer listening, each voice was full of energy, though it had a sharp, angry quality, but something still felt off to the ear.
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes darkened, and she instructed the driver, "Change course immediately and go to the manor not far away. It just so happens that Mother said she wanted to see if the pomegranate trees on that manor have started to bear fruit. Since we're already out here, let's go and check on Mother's behalf first."
"Yes, Miss."
Mu Qingxuan couldn't help but wonder when her mother had mentioned wanting to see the pomegranate tree.
However, with this change of course, Mu Xin Nuan was keeping an eye on the two groups of people, wondering if there were any changes.
Sure enough, not long after their carriage changed course, they heard the sound change. Upon closer listening, they realized there were sounds of running and shouting!
"Oh no!" Mu Xin Nuan knew inwardly that something was wrong. These people were clearly after her and her brother. Although they had guards with them today, how could they possibly fight off so many men? And judging from their voices, these people were all trained martial artists!
Mu Xin Nuan's mind raced as she considered how to resolve today's events. She feared that if things went wrong, her younger brother might really be in trouble!
At this moment, Mu Xin Nuan didn't even consider whether she would be in any trouble after today's events, whether her reputation would be damaged, or whether her body would be injured. All she was thinking about was ensuring that her younger brother wouldn't get hurt.
In the blink of an eye, the group of people had surrounded the carriage.
Upon seeing that they were facing civilians, the guards of the Mu residence, though armed, could not simply brandish their weapons at so many people. They could only shout sternly, "Insolence! Get out of the way! This is the Mu residence's carriage. Do you commoners have a death wish?"
To everyone's surprise, the guards' shouts did not drive these commoners away; instead, they made them approach even more deliberately!
They had already surrounded the carriage when one of the guards, with sharp eyes, noticed a cold glint in the arms of one of the burly men. He was immediately alarmed and cried out, "Protect the young lady and young master!"
In the blink of an eye, chaos had broken out outside.
When Mu Xin Nuan realized what was happening, Mu Qing Xuan was already standing protectively in front of her, looking completely alert. He even turned back to say, "Don't worry, sister, I'll protect you."
Rongyue was already terrified, but she still trembled as she reached the front of the carriage and shielded the two young masters behind her.
Although she knew that Rong Yue's actions would be of no use, Mu Xin Nuan felt a warm glow in her heart, filled with gratitude! Her loyal servants from her past life were still protecting her so devotedly in this life. How fortunate she was to have them protect her.
After listening for a while, Mu Qingxuan frowned and said, "This is bad! Sister, we have brought too few people, we may not be a match for them. Right now, protecting you is the most important thing."
As he spoke, he instructed the coachman outside, "Hurry up! Head towards the city gate."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan was immediately delighted. Mu Qing Xuan was indeed clever, knowing that with so many guards at the city gate, would these commoners really dare to attack the Mu family?
However, Mu Xin Nuan's heart sank again. These people were probably not ordinary commoners, were they? How could ordinary people possess such powerful martial arts skills? And why would they need to attack the two sisters?
Mu Qingxuan's decision was correct, but those people probably wouldn't let them escape easily. Moreover, although this place wasn't close to the city gate, they couldn't possibly be unaware of the situation here. Yet, despite the chaos and the drawing of swords, they remained indifferent! What did this signify?
Before Mu Xin Nuan could think any further, the carriage indeed stopped again!
This time, they heard the driver's screams first!
Without even looking, it was clear that the coachman had been brutally murdered!
Mu Xin Nuan held her younger brother's hand tightly, not letting him go down!
"Their target might be me. Just run towards the city gate when you see an opportunity."
"No! Sister, I'm a man, I should protect you!"
Mu Qingxuan refused to let Mu Xinnuan go out. During their argument, Rong Yue exclaimed in surprise, and then the carriage shook. Both of them swayed to the side. Before they could figure out what was going on, Mu Qingxuan quickly dragged Mu Xinnuan out of the carriage.
Once Mu Xin Nuan reached the ground, she could see clearly that the carriage had its shafts cut off and was completely ruined!
Looking around them again, they saw that seven or eight burly men had surrounded them, each one looking fierce and menacing, which was terrifying!
"Rongyue, are you injured?"
Rongyue protected her arm, shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing! Just a minor injury, it's nothing serious. Miss, what should we do now?"
What else could they do? Several guards were tied up, and the bodies of two guards and the coachman lay on the ground. What else could they do?
Mu Xin Nuan was utterly dejected. Was Heaven really going to kill her? Today, even if it meant her own death and the complete ruin of her reputation, she would never allow anyone to harm her brother even a little bit!
Once her obsession took hold, Mu Xin Nuan disregarded everything else and forcefully pulled Mu Qing Xuan behind her. Then, she straightened her back and said, "I know who you are! I know who sent you! You're just here to vent your anger for the Liu family. If you want to kill, kill me and let them go!"
The leader was clearly surprised that this young girl possessed such courage! He was first taken aback, then stunned, and in his heart, he felt a bit of admiration for the girl. However, his master had given him instructions, and he couldn't betray his master just because of a few words from the girl!
Seeing that there were only three children, the group relaxed considerably, and the original circular encirclement gradually turned into a two-way confrontation! Clearly, they didn't take these three children seriously.
"Hmph! Little girl, since you understand everything, don't blame us for being ruthless! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. When you get to the King of Hell, make sure you sue the right person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his long sword and thrust it straight at Mu Xin Nuan's heart!
