Hua Yu suddenly sensed that the atmosphere around her had become somewhat strange, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. She immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned to look at Ning Yuan, saying coquettishly, "Stop! Let me off the horse!"

Ning Yuan was taken aback by her sudden request, but seeing Hua Yu's anxious expression, he quickly pulled on the reins and stopped the horse.

Before the horse had even fully settled, Hua Yu leaped off and hurriedly ran towards Lan Feng's direction. She knew that if she didn't quickly appease this cheap prince, the consequences could be dire if he turned to the dark side. After all, in this perilous environment, preserving her own life was paramount. As for those handsome men, no matter how charming, they were meaningless if she lost her life.

At this moment, Hua Yu couldn't care less about anything else; she was only focused on running desperately, so much so that the light veil she had been wearing on her shoulders slipped off with her movements. However, she was completely unaware of this and continued to rush forward anxiously.

Lan Feng, still fuming, spotted a figure rushing towards him from afar. Looking closer, he saw a woman who seemed untouched by the mortal world; her beauty was almost unreal, yet she possessed an undeniable warmth. Especially as she drew closer, Lan Feng felt as if the beauty before him was a celestial being descended from the heavens to earth.

Just as Lan Feng was lost in thought, Hua Yu appeared before him. Her small hands were tightly gripping Lan Feng's sleeve, trembling slightly, her eyes filled with tears, making her look pitiful and heartbreaking.

"Fourth Prince, sob sob sob... I just thought I would never see you again..." Hua Yu sobbed as she intermittently expressed her fear and anxiety.

Hearing the sudden cry, the Fourth Prince's heart clenched, and he was immediately filled with heartache. He quickly suppressed his anger, replaced it with a gentle expression, and softly comforted her, "Alright, don't cry, my darling. I've come just in time. With me here, everything will be alright. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." As he spoke, he gently patted Hua Yu's back, trying to soothe her emotions.

Ning Yuan, standing to the side, witnessed this scene and was utterly stunned. He never imagined that Lan Feng, who had been furious with him just a moment ago, would so tenderly comfort the beauty. This stark contrast was completely unexpected. He had never seen Lan Feng so attentive to a woman.

At that moment, Ning Yuan nimbly dismounted, his steps firm and direct, heading quickly towards Lan Feng's direction. As he walked, he suddenly noticed a piece of light gauze that had slipped down to the ground, lying there quietly like a light cloud.

Ning Yuan instinctively bent down and carefully picked up the piece of gauze. The moment he held it, a faint, uniquely feminine fragrance wafted into his nostrils. The scent seemed to possess a certain magic, causing him to freeze for a moment, his mind replaying the warm afterglow of the beauty in his arms as he rode the horse. Unconsciously, a barely perceptible smile crept onto his face.

However, this brief moment of intoxication was quickly shattered by Lan Feng's shout: "Ning Yuan, what are you still standing there for? Quickly take that light gauze shawl you're holding to Miss Hua!"

Hearing Lan Feng's call, Ning Yuan snapped out of his daze, quickly suppressed his smile, and ran to Hua Yu, respectfully handing her the light gauze with both hands.

Seeing this, Hua Yu naturally reached out and took the light gauze, softly thanking Ning Yuan. After thanking him, she seemed a little embarrassed, lowering her head slightly, two shy blushes rising on her cheeks, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring.

At this moment, Hua Yu's heart, already pounding like a deer, raced even faster. She thought to herself: "I never imagined that in this ancient world, I'd attract two handsome men vying for my attention. It seems this time-traveling journey wasn't a waste of time! Luckily, I specifically learned some tricks and methods of playing the 'green tea bitch,' otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle this situation. But being a 'scumbag' woman is truly not easy..."

Just as the three were in an awkward situation, Madam Hua and General Ning's carriages arrived at the Hua residence. Madam Hua saw the argument between her daughter and the two young masters from afar and smiled helplessly.

"Yu'er, come quickly and help your mother out of the carriage! Today we must prepare a grand feast to properly entertain the Fourth Prince and our savior, and also to take this opportunity to calm our nerves!" Madam Hua called softly to her daughter.

Upon hearing her mother's summons, Hua Yu dared not delay in the slightest. She hurried to the other end of the carriage, carefully extending her hands to gently and cautiously assist Madam Hua as she slowly descended from the carriage. The mother and daughter stood side by side, then walked unhurriedly towards Ning Yuan and Ning Guo.

Madam Hua, her face full of sincerity, bowed slightly and said, "I humbly request that General Ning and Young Master Ning grace our Hua residence with their presence for a simple meal. If it weren't for your two acts of kindness, my daughter and I would likely have met with misfortune. I hope you will accept this small gift to express my gratitude." Hua Yu, standing beside her, echoed, "Indeed, please do not refuse, my two benefactors."

Immediately afterwards, Hua Yu skipped and hopped like a cheerful little bird towards where the Fourth Prince was. She tugged at Lan Feng's sleeve coquettishly and said, "Brother Lan Feng, please have dinner with Yu'er, okay? I'm still a little scared, can you help me calm down?" As she spoke, she gently shook Lan Feng's arm, her eyes full of expectation.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, who seemed to harbor deep affection for him, Lan Feng's heart softened. He found it difficult to refuse this tender invitation, so he smiled and nodded in agreement. And so, led by Hua Yu, the group filed into the Hua residence.

However, upon hearing this news, Hua Xiang could no longer suppress her anxiety. She hurriedly summoned her personal maid, Xiao Gu, and anxiously instructed, "Quickly, Xiao Gu, quickly help me with my makeup! This time, we must win over the Fourth Prince no matter what, and we absolutely cannot let that slut Hua Yu succeed!" Her words revealed her deep jealousy and resentment towards Hua Yu.
