Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

"Fifth brother, hurry up! I need to go back to sleep, or I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." Su Yinyin said unhappily. It was a cold winter night, and it was really too cold.

"Miss, I have already advanced at top speed," said Lao Wuming.

"It seems your martial arts haven't improved; in fact, they've regressed. After returning to the capital, you should go out and gain some experience," Su Yinyin said with a look of disdain.

The fifth brother sensed Su Yinyin's disdain, so he quickly declared his loyalty, "Miss, I don't want to leave you. I still want to protect you."

The fifth brother also had his own agenda. He couldn't go back, because if he did, he would rarely have the chance to see Bixia, and he certainly couldn't openly accompany her.

Which of their subordinates wouldn't want to stay by Miss's side? Of course, even if they couldn't stay by Miss's side, their loyalty to her would remain as unwavering as ever.

This kind of loyalty cannot be shaken by anyone or anything.

"With such mediocre skills, you think you can protect me?"

This time, it was Lao Wu's turn to be speechless. The young lady really didn't think much of his kung fu. What should he do? He had been making the most of his free time to practice.

Looking at the silent fifth brother, I said, "Just kidding. I guess you guys have hit a plateau. I should prepare some things for you when we get back."

"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!" The fifth brother's eyes lit up. They had indeed hit a bottleneck. No one dared to mention it to the young lady because she had been too busy lately.

"Don't get too excited, fly well!" Su Yinyin, who was perched on Lao Wu's back, felt Lao Wu's excitement and patted Lao Wu's head.

"Miss, don't worry, everything's fine!" the fifth brother said confidently and proudly.

"Then I'll take a nap." After saying that, Su Yinyin leaned on Lao Wu's shoulder.

The cold wind howled, and in the darkness of night, Lao Wu kept leaping over the tops of the trees.

At the foot of a mountain, just a short distance from their route, several horse-drawn carriages were making their way slowly in the dark.

Traveling in the dark is dangerous, but they persisted, so they must have something important to do.

A maidservant said, "Madam, we should arrive in the capital before dawn." The young and beautiful lady nodded in satisfaction, then leaned back in the carriage and pretended to doze off.

Not long after, the carriage suddenly stopped. The young lady woke up instantly. "What's going on?" She lifted the curtain and looked outside.

A guard stood there with a solemn expression. "Madam, someone is blocking our way."

The lady followed his gaze and saw a group of men in black standing not far ahead, the leader holding a long sword with a cold look in his eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you block my carriage!" the lady shouted sternly.

“We are here on orders to take your life!” the man in black replied coldly.

The lady was startled. Could it be that someone wanted to kill her to silence her? She looked around and realized that they were in a deserted area. If a fight broke out, they would probably have a hard time escaping.

"Hongxiu, protect the young lady. I'll go and deal with them." At this moment, another guard stepped forward, drew his weapon, and charged towards the men in black. A fierce battle instantly erupted between the two sides...

Just as Su Yinyin and her companion were about to pass by the foot of the mountain, Lao Wu whispered, "Miss, there's a fight ahead."

"Oh, I'll just go around it," Su Yinyin said lazily.

“Miss, this is a mountain. Going around it will waste a lot of time.”

"Then, Fifth Brother, what do you suggest we do?"

"If they block the way, I'll take care of them. It'll save time and trouble, and Miss can go back to sleep earlier."

Su Yinyin yawned. "Then let's hurry up and finish this." Suddenly remembering something, she added, "Wait a minute, we're on top, they're on the bottom, how could they have discovered us?"

"Miss, I was just saying it was just in case," the fifth brother awkwardly interrupted Su Yinyin's question. If he were so easily discovered, he would definitely be summoned back by the first brother and sent back for retraining.

The Fifth Brother was flying over these people's heads with Su Yinyin.

Besides the sounds of fighting, there were also shouts like, "Madam, run! Hongxiu, you must protect Madam!"

"Hongxiu, hurry and go find reinforcements. I can't run anymore, my stomach hurts," the lady said with difficulty, rubbing her belly.

"Madam, are you about to give birth?" Hongxiu asked anxiously, supporting the woman she called "Madam".

"I don't know, I don't know!" Her voice was strained from the pain.

Su Yinyin overheard the conversation below and her heart skipped a beat. That lady was six months pregnant. She might be about to give birth, or she might be experiencing a miscarriage scare.

I suddenly thought of Su Yinyin back then. If someone had helped me on the day I gave birth, my baby wouldn't have had to suffer.

The woman's voice clearly indicated that she was in extreme pain.

"Fifth brother, let's go down and take a look," Su Yinyin instructed.

Upon hearing the order, the fifth brother landed on the ground with Su Yinyin.

The fifth son landed right next to that lady.

Their sudden appearance stunned everyone present.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Hongxiu looked at Su Yinyin and Lao Wu warily.

These two were both dressed in black; could they be in cahoots with these people?

Indeed, there were people fighting all around them, and suddenly two people fell from the sky next to her and her wife.

What does it mean to fall from the sky? They couldn't understand it either.

Su Yinyin felt very uncomfortable seeing them looking at her like she was a monster.

"We were passing by when we heard the sounds of fighting, so we came to see what was going on," Su Yinyin said.

When Su Yinyin and the other person appeared in front of them.

The lady's guards had retreated to her side. The guards pointed their knives at Su Yinyin, while the assassins also pointed their knives at Su Yinyin and Lao Wu.

Su Yinyin wondered why they were pointing knives at her. Suddenly, a group of people behind her lit up the surroundings with torches.

The fifth brother had already turned around and shielded Su Yinyin behind him.

Using the light, Su Yinyin was able to see the people in front of her clearly.

The group of people were in a sorry state, covered in wounds. The lady, however, was pale, but that did not diminish her beauty. This was the beauty born of illness.

Su Yinyin ignored what these people thought of her. Turning around, she saw a dark mass of assassins behind her.

No wonder that maid was so wary of me; I was dressed in all black too. She categorized me as an assassin.

The assassin saw Su Yinyin and Lao Wu and assumed they were part of the same group.

Just as he was about to raise his knife and step forward, Su Yinyin called out to him, "Stop."

Su Yinyin continued, "I was passing by when I heard you two fighting so fiercely, so I came down to watch out. Do you have any objections?"

The leader of the men in black sized up Su Yinyin, then looked her over. What did this mean? Was she a ghost? So he politely said, "We are mercenaries, hired to take this lady's life. This is none of your business. If you don't want to die, leave now."
