Chapter 26 Save me
The servant looked at Ye Wanshu in surprise, obviously not expecting her to be the one coming out.

Before he could react, Ye Wanshu reacted quickly and kicked him in the crotch with all her strength, knocking him to the ground, and then ran away.

The servant groaned, endured the pain, climbed up, and chased while shouting.

"Miss, where are you going? I mean no harm to you. Don't run away. Come back quickly. It's night and it's dangerous outside."

Ye Wanshu wanted to curse after hearing this. It would be dangerous if he caught her.

But the short distance that was clearly very familiar suddenly became extremely long in the dark night. Ye Wanshu felt hot and uncomfortable all over. Her breathing became more and more rapid. Her whole body was soaked. She was dizzy and could not see the east door.

As I was running along the direction of my memory, I was suddenly pulled into the darkness by a force.

Ye Wanshu was about to struggle when she heard a childish voice calling out, "Big sister, don't be afraid. I'm Ning Yue, and my mother is Concubine Qin."

"Ning Yue?" Ye Wanshu had some impression of her. She was the daughter of Qin, the concubine her father had recently married.

Zhou Ru and Ji Ningxi, mother and daughter, were too domineering in the mansion. In the past few days since she entered the mansion, the other concubines and sisters did not dare to make friends with her. It was surprising that the little one came out to get close to her at this critical juncture.

Ji Ningyue pointed at the little boy who was supporting Ye Wanshu and whispered, "Big sister, this is my cousin, Qin Chulin. We can help you escape."

Qin Chulin immediately took over the conversation: "Big sister, the master is drunk, and now the people in the mansion are arranged by Aunt Zhou. I'm afraid they want to harm you. The side door on the east side is already guarded. We will take you out through the small door on the south side."

"Okay." Ye Wanshu nodded.

I have just returned to the mansion for a few days, so naturally I am not as familiar with the situation inside the mansion as them. Seeing that the two little guys are very smart, I followed them and changed the route.

But I had no plans to come back, so I didn't want to implicate Aunt Qin.

As they approached the small gate to the south, Ye Wanshu forced herself to stand up and warned, "Ning Yue, you and Chu Lin should hurry back. Don't let anyone see you. Go straight back to your mother's yard and pretend you knew nothing."

"Don't worry, big sister. My cousin and I are very smart and won't let them find out."

After Ji Ningyue finished speaking with great confidence, Qin Chulin took over the conversation: "That small door is a little hidden. The wooden board in the middle is loose and has not been repaired yet. For now, only Ningyue and I know about it. Big sister, just pull open that board and you can get out."

"I've got that in mind," Ye Wanshu responded gratefully.

Ji Ningyue hurriedly urged: "Then big sister, please leave quickly. I said that big sister is also a pitiful person and should not stay in the mansion to be manipulated by others."

Ye Wanshu's heart moved slightly when she heard this. She touched her head, turned around resolutely, and ran to the sealed door. Sure enough, a slight pull revealed a large gap, and then she ran out quickly.

After watching her figure disappear into the night, Ji Ningyue and Qin Chulin carefully sneaked back to Qin's concubine's courtyard.

Outside the south gate is a long and narrow lake. The shimmering surface of the lake is particularly quiet at night.

Ye Wanshu ran along the lake for an unknown amount of time when she suddenly saw a carriage parked in front of her.

At this moment, she could clearly feel the effects of the medicine taking effect.

Fortunately, in her new life, her willpower was not as weak as Ji Ningxi's. She suppressed her burning desire and tried to stay awake. She got into the carriage and took out a silver ingot and threw it to the coachman.

"Send me out of the city immediately."

After lowering the curtain, she leaned against the carriage and rested for a while. Seeing that the carriage was still motionless, Ye Wanshu was so anxious that she lifted the curtain to see. Under the moonlight, she saw an extremely handsome face looking at her in a daze.

"It's him?"

Ye Wanshu looked embarrassed. How could she run into Fu Mingchi at this time? Isn't such an alluring face likely to attract crime?
Fu Mingchi obviously didn't expect to run into this woman here. He wanted to get up and drag her off the carriage, but he never expected that she was the owner of the handkerchief.

"It's my beautiful sister."

Fu Yunni, who followed, also recognized Ye Wanshu. Just as she shouted excitedly, Fu Mingchi was pulled into the carriage by someone.

He only felt a surge of heat coming towards him, and before he could react, a pair of soft lips were already pressed against his lips.

"help me."

The soft, ethereal voice echoed in his ears, and Fu Mingchi froze completely. "Brother, I haven't gone up yet," Fu Yunni shouted anxiously from outside in a clear voice.

Fu Mingchi sensed something was wrong and quickly checked Ye Wanshu's pulse, which was extremely disordered.

"Was she drugged?"

Feeling the soft body constantly pressing against him, Fu Mingchi frowned, and then he found the right spot and lightly slapped her on the back of the head.

Ye Wanshu immediately calmed down and fainted in his arms.

"I'm sorry, no offense intended."

Carefully leaning her back into the carriage, Fu Mingchi lifted the curtain and saw Yan Jin holding the little kid and trying to peek inside.

"Brother, this is good, we can take the beautiful sister home." The little kid said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Jin couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"Nonsense."

Looking at the sleeping Ye Wanshu, Fu Mingchi frowned slightly.

I don’t know whose family this girl is from, but she must have been tricked by someone. Looking at her miserable appearance, I’m afraid she must have spent a lot of effort to escape.

"A girl's reputation is the most precious. If anyone dares to say a word about what happened today, I will not forgive him easily." Fu Mingchi solemnly warned everyone.

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will keep my mouth shut. The young princess had a liking for this girl the first time she saw her, so I won't say anything."

Yan Jin said this with a solemn oath, and immediately asked, "Your Highness, it's so late, and I don't know where this girl lives. Why don't you take her back to the palace first, and I will send her home tomorrow?"

Fu Mingchi shook his head. The mansion in Lin'an was full of guards, so it was not a convenient place for a girl to live.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Send him to Dingyuan Marquis's residence. There are only female relatives in my aunt's family, so it will be easier to take care of him."

"Yes." Yan Jin personally drove the carriage towards the south of the city.

Fu Mingchi and Fu Yunni were sitting in the carriage. Seeing the sweat pouring down Ye Wanshu's forehead, they couldn't help but feel anxious. They kept wiping her with a handkerchief and urged her outside, "Hurry up and get over there."

Yan Jin ran all the way and arrived at Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.

Marquis Dingyuan died in battle for his country many years ago. His wife Zhang was heartbroken and vowed to remain faithful to her husband. Moreover, she was aloof and did not like to make friends, so her house was always deserted.

When Fu Mingchi arrived, the mansion was already pitch dark and everyone had gone to bed. But as soon as Fu Yunni called out "Aunt" twice, all the lights in the yard suddenly lit up.

The person who came to open the door was Mu Qingqing, the only daughter of the Marquisate. Seeing that it was her cousins, she was so happy that her face was full of joy.

"When I heard A Ni's voice, I guessed it was Brother Chi."

Looking at the woman in Fu Mingchi's arms, Mu Qingqing's enthusiastic eyes suddenly turned cold: "Who is she?"

"A damsel in distress."

Fu Mingchi explained calmly, then ordered, "Hurry up and ask the court doctor to check her out."

"This is the first time I've seen Brother Chi care so much about a girl."

There was a hint of sourness in Mu Qingqing's eyes, but she knew her cousin's temper well, so she didn't dare say anything more. She forced a smile and welcomed them in.

"My mother doesn't like strange men in the house, so she had the family doctor dismissed a while ago. Brother Chi, please send this girl to my room. I think her illness is not suitable for the care of a male doctor."

Fu Mingchi had heard his mother mention that Qingqing had become quite proficient in medical skills over the years, so he nodded quickly, "Okay, thank you."
