The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Yun Shang ultimately did not answer Yu Wan's question about the purpose of her trip.

Seeing his reluctance to get to the bottom of things, Yu Wan gave up the idea of ​​pressing him for details.

The male protagonist, who has always prioritized his studies, suddenly puts his studies aside to do something else. This matter must be very important, and it's better for her to know as little as possible.

The carriage left Huidong Pass, but then circled back, heading towards Wushaoling.

Yu Wan had no recollection of this place, but when the accompanying guards mentioned that this mountain was Wushaoling, a sense of lingering fear welled up from her bones.

The case of being abducted by human traffickers ended with Yu San Niang being sentenced to death.

There is no direct evidence to prove that Wang Wanshu did this.

However, Yu Wan secretly made a mental note of it.

This grudge will not go unpunished, it's just that the time has not yet come.

Seemingly sensing Yu Wan's fear of Wushaoling, Yun Shang, unusually putting down the book he was holding, suddenly asked her, "Yu Niang, do you want to find your family?"

Yun Shang asked casually, but Yu Wan immediately felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

What does he mean?

Do they already know her true identity?

Or perhaps he became suspicious of Wang Wanshu's words and went to verify them?

She remembered that Wang Wanshu had told Yunshang that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion.

Given Yun Shang's suspicious and cautious nature, he would surely investigate.

Yu Wan was overwhelmed with thoughts. She couldn't figure out what Yun Shang knew, so she could only tentatively ask, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Yun Shang met her gaze, his cool eyes revealing a tenderness that neither of them noticed. "Mother asked me to help you find your family."

Did the Shen family ask him to find it?

So, does that mean Yun Shang knows nothing at all?

Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want Yun Shang to reveal her true identity.

So he made up an excuse, saying, "To be honest, I don't really want to find my family."

She lowered her head, a hint of sadness on her face. "I was trafficked for many years. I can't remember who my family is, what they look like, or even if they are looking for me..."

"Perhaps they already have other children, and if I go back, I would only become a superfluous presence?"

“I have already regarded the Yun family as my own, and you are my family. I don’t really care about finding my family.”

As she said those last words, Yu Wan blushed slightly and stole a glance at Yun Shang, her eyes filled with shyness.

Yun Shang believed her.

He nodded. "Since you have this concern, we'll put the search for your family on hold for now. Whenever you want to find them, I'll help you."

This can be considered his promise to her.

During the conversation, Yun Shang noticed that Yu Wan was no longer cautiously observing her surroundings, and his brows relaxed.

He picked up the book, intending to continue reading, but just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the carriage.

The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air suddenly rang out. Yun Shang's brows furrowed, and he grabbed Yu Wan's arm, pulling her into his embrace.

Almost simultaneously, four or five arrows gleaming with a cold light pierced through the carriage wall!

If Yun Shang had hesitated for even a second, the arrow would have already pierced Yu Wan's back.

Yu Wan stared blankly at the arrows, her lips pale, and after a long while, she finally managed to say, "This...this...we've been assassinated?"

Was the other party there to kill her, or to kill Yun Shang?

The thought that flashed through Yu Wan's mind subconsciously left her speechless.

She was internally ranting and raving.

Ever since she transmigrated into the book, it seems like either someone wants to harm her or someone wants to harm Yun Shang.

The sounds of fighting could be heard outside the carriage, and guards were shouting urgently, "Protect Young Master Yun and Madam Yun with all your might!"

Yun Shang pulled Yu Wan into his arms, lifted the carriage curtain with one hand, and observed the situation outside the carriage.

Fighting the guards protecting them was a group of men in black, whose movements were clean and efficient, making them look like well-trained assassins.

The number of men in black far exceeded theirs, and the guards were gradually outnumbered.

One of the guards approached the carriage while fighting, kicking a man in black away. The guard then leaped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, and whipped the horse's belly hard.

He said urgently, "Young Master Yun, there are too many of them. If we continue fighting, we won't gain anything. I'll send you away first, and let the others stay behind to hold off these men in black."

What fate awaits those who remain is a question few can answer.

At this moment, Yu Wan did not offer any useless acts of kindness.

She took the initiative to hug Yun Shang tightly.

Yun Shang glanced at her with some surprise, then gripped the carriage wall tightly before it sped off and began to jolt.

The carriage sped away from the fighting area at an alarming speed. The surrounding dense forest gradually quieted down. Before Yu Wan could even catch her breath after hearing no more fighting sounds, she suddenly heard a loud "bang" outside the carriage.

It sounded like something had landed.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yun Shang reached out and lifted the carriage curtain. Sure enough, the guards who had driven the carriage were gone.

He glanced back.

The guard lay on the ground, with a trail of blood running through the air.

His heart sank.

Yu Wan also saw the bloodstains and stammered, "He was injured just now..."

They even managed to hold on until they were finally sent out.

Yu Wan knew that these guards were sent by Prince Chen. The fact that these guards were so determined to protect Yun Shang showed how much Prince Chen valued her.

Yun Shang had no time to grieve. He reached out and grabbed the reins, slowing the carriage down. Fortunately, the horse had already slowed down before the guard fell, and he quickly brought the carriage back to a stop.

He turned around, took Yu Wan's hand, and quickly said to her, "Get out of the carriage. The carriage is too conspicuous. Let's ride horses."

Yu Wan jumped off the carriage, surprised and asked, "You can ride a horse?"

"Mm." Yun Shang replied as she quickly untied the rope from her horse, leaped onto it, and reached out to Yu Wan, "Let's get out of here first."

Yu Wan had never ridden a horse before, and she felt both curious and scared.

But she didn't hesitate for a moment and used Yun Shang's strength to sit on the horse's back.

Yun Shang gripped the reins tightly with both hands.

Yu Wan was held tightly in his arms, and when the horse started to move, she realized that this position was incredibly ambiguous.

The temperature on her ears and face rose inappropriately. Yu Wan stared straight ahead, silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

Yu Wan didn't know where Yun Shang was going, but she felt that the surrounding trees seemed to be getting denser and denser.

Normally, the vegetation only becomes more lush the further you go into the mountains.

What is Yunshang doing in the mountains at this time?

Yu Wanxin had her doubts.

There is no description of Wushaoling in the original work, so she had no idea what Yunshang was going to do.

Just as she was about to speak, a sharp arrow suddenly grazed past her ear.

Yu Wan was so close that she could even feel a few strands of hair being cut off by the arrows near her ears!

She was so frightened that her heart stopped beating.

Yun Shang's face darkened abruptly. He whipped the horse's belly with the reins and his cold voice rang in Yu Wan's ear, "They're coming. Hold on tight."

The fact that the men in black came after them proved that all those who stayed behind to hold them off were dead.
