Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap
Chapter 23 A Benefactor Saves Us!
Seeing the man raise his sword, Mu Xin Nuan knew she couldn't escape today. In despair, she pushed him back forcefully, and Mu Qing Xuan was forced to take several steps back.
Just as they stood still, Mu Xin Nuan shouted, "Run!"
Mu Qingxuan wasn't about to run away, and cried out urgently, "Sister!"
Rong Yue, standing to the side, pushed Mu Xin Nuan to the ground. Rong Yue's already injured left arm was now afflicted with a sword wound, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
These people were clearly surprised that Mu Xin Nuan still had such a loyal servant by her side. They were shocked and couldn't help but look at this young girl with new respect!
They weren't proper guards or servants to begin with; the master had simply ordered them to be brought from the estate, along with a few notorious local bullies, all to take the lives of the siblings. But now, it seemed they couldn't bring themselves to do it!
This thought only flashed through their minds for a moment. When they thought about the generous reward promised by the master, these people immediately became envious again and drew their swords to attack once more!
Just as the long sword was about to pierce Mu Xin Nuan's heart, Mu Xin Nuan closed her eyes, her heart filled with pain! She couldn't believe that after only a short time of being reborn, she was already facing death again.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that he was indeed destined for a short life, even after being reborn!
Unexpectedly, Mu Xin Nuan closed her eyes and waited for the pain, but it didn't come. Instead, she heard the painful cries of those people. Mu Xin Nuan was shocked and hurriedly opened her eyes. She didn't know when, but there were already several well-dressed guards in front of her. Moreover, judging from their clothes alone, they were guards from royal families.
"Are you guys okay?"
Mu Xin Nuan looked up and saw a young man standing in front of her. He immediately ordered his men to tie up all of them and then throw them aside.
"Thank you for saving me, young master. I am deeply grateful."
Unexpectedly, the man quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no! This is my young master's order. It is not my fault."
As he spoke, his eyes drifted toward an extremely luxurious carriage not far away.
Mu Xin Nuan followed his gaze, and what she saw made her heart skip a beat! If she wasn't mistaken, the markings on the carriage belonged to the royal family?
"Young Master?" Mu Xin Nuan quickly realized that the person inside the carriage must be a prince. She didn't dare to be negligent and immediately took Mu Qing Xuan's hand, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the carriage, "Thank you for saving me, Your Excellency."
The young man was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected the young girl to remain so calm under these circumstances, and even remember to observe proper etiquette to thank her benefactor. She was quite fortunate!
The carriage came towards them and stopped just two or three zhang away. But no one got off.
The young man had already strode over and bowed to receive the order.
"Send all these people to the Prefect of the Capital. First, explain what happened here, and then tell him that they startled my lord."
"Yes, young master, I understand."
The young man's sharp eyes swept over the group of people, then he looked towards the other side not far away, where someone else was being escorted over as well. It seemed that the young master was in a bad mood and intended to punish them severely.
"Oh, and don't forget to mention the dereliction of duty by the soldiers guarding the city as well."
The young man was startled. He looked up and saw a commotion at the city gate not far away. It seemed that his young master was really not going to let this go! Now, it seemed that none of these people would have a good outcome! Whether they could live or die after offending his young master was still uncertain.
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately after I escort you back."
"No need! You can take your men and go there first. As for these two, they can come with my carriage."
"This?" The young man glanced at the two men's attire, and then noticed the Mu family's insignia on the wrecked carriage. He roughly guessed their identities. Letting them travel with the young master? Wouldn't that be beneath the master's dignity?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, young master."
Since his master had given the order, he naturally dared not disobey. Fortunately, there was another carriage behind them for the young master to store his luggage, so the two of them could just squeeze into that carriage.
Mu Xin Nuan knew she was dealing with a powerful figure and didn't dare utter a sound. When dealing with such a person, one naturally had to obey his orders. Otherwise, while she was being saved by him now, she might be getting herself into trouble the next moment!
The young master in the carriage seemed quite satisfied with the attitude of the Mu siblings, and the group leisurely made their way into the capital.
Meanwhile, the Mu family's guards had already sent someone back to report. Not long after, when the carriage had only gone a short distance into the city, a large group of Mu family guards, led by Mu Chang'an, came out to greet them.
Upon seeing the carriage bearing some royal markings, Mu Chang'an quickly dismounted and knelt, saying, "Thank you for saving me, Your Excellency. Your humble servant, Mu Chang'an, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, greets Your Excellency."
"Get up. Your daughter and son are both quite good. In times of crisis, they actually risked their lives to protect each other, especially your daughter, who actually shielded herself from the sword. Her courage is truly commendable! I find the two siblings very pleasing to the eye, which is why I saved them. I'll find them to play with later."
"Yes, thank you for your help."
These few words terrified Mu Chang'an! Risking their lives to protect him? Taking a sword with their own bodies? They, the siblings, had merely gone out of the city to see Zhao Zihe off; what kind of people had they offended? What trouble had they gotten themselves into?
Mu Chang'an took the siblings back to the manor and quickly summoned the family physician to bandage Rongyue. Li Shi, with tears in her eyes, looked the two of them up and down before finally feeling relieved. "Thank goodness, they weren't hurt! Otherwise, how could I, as their mother, live like this!"
Li was weeping bitterly, while the old lady came over and, upon hearing what had happened, her face changed drastically in shock. How could this be? Someone dared to harm her grandson? Wasn't this a death sentence for this old woman?
After everyone gradually calmed down, Mu Xin Nuan and Mu Qing Xuan finished washing up and came over to pay their respects. The old lady and Madam Li held onto the two of them, feeling sorry for them again. Mu Chang An comforted them several times before they calmed down.
"Father, I don't know why, but on my way back, I encountered two groups of people who seemed to be arguing. I found it a bit strange, but I didn't think much of it. I just thought I should go to the estate to see if the pomegranates had ripened. Unexpectedly, those people surrounded our carriage and started fighting with the guards."
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, her face paled slightly. "Father, what I don't understand is that later, when the coachman sped me and Ah Xuan toward the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city clearly saw us, but why did they turn a blind eye?"
