Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Siyue and Ruyu sat in the tree, waiting anxiously for Qingwu to return. "Cousin, Master has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet? Could something have happened to him?"

Liu Siyue felt a little flustered. Judging from Qingwu's skills, she should be able to come and go freely. Something must have happened. No, she had to go and see.

"Ruyu, come down quickly, let's go find Qingwu."

The two followed the direction Qingwu had left, sniffing and calling out as they went. They walked for an unknown distance before hearing a cacophony of footsteps, clearly not from one person.

"Ruyu, someone's coming! Quick, hide!"

Qingwu heard their shouts from afar, and her steps quickened. She knew that her master must be worried because she hadn't been back for so long.

She walked a little further, calling softly as she went, "Master, come out, it's me, Qingwu."

Upon hearing Qingwu's call, Liu Siyue immediately emerged from behind the tree. When she saw the scene before her, she was startled. "Qingwu, who are they?"

"Let's get out of here first. Wild beasts might be coming any minute. It's too dangerous here."

The group quickly headed towards the outer perimeter, but before they reached it, a commotion arose in the woods. These people were now defenseless, and she feared she couldn't protect them alone. "Everyone, climb the trees!"

She had just handed the princess over to a guard when a pack of wolves appeared, immediately forming a circle around Qingwu. Liu Siyue roughly counted; there were more than 40 wolves, each baring its teeth. Ru Yu, inexperienced in such matters, was already pale with fright. "Master..."

"Ruyu, hold on tight, don't speak, and don't disturb your master's mind."

Qingwu could easily use her light-footed skills to escape the encirclement and hide in a tree, but she couldn't. The princess's injuries couldn't be delayed, and if these wolves weren't dealt with, none of them would be able to escape.

These wolves are very patient and can lie in wait for a long time. Wolves have that kind of time, but these women don't. If it gets dark, the forest will be even more dangerous.

Qingwu, sword in hand, confronted the wolves. The alpha wolf howled, and immediately four wolves pounced on Qingwu from different directions. Qingwu turned around on the spot and beheaded all four wolves. Blood splattered, and the wolf heads flew off, giving the wolf pack a shock.

Liu Siyue said to one of the guards beside her, "Throw me a sword."

Liu Siyue caught the thrown sword steadily, then jumped down from the tree, forming the core of the battle back-to-back with Qingwu, making each other the eyes from behind.

"Master, why did you come down here? Hurry up, it's dangerous here!"

"Qingwu, how can I let you face this alone? I'll help you." Now that she's down there, what else can she say?

As soon as the alpha wolf saw another person descending, it immediately howled to the sky, and the wolfhounds circled around the two of them. "Master, the wolf pack is about to attack."

Suddenly, a dozen wolves pounced on them. The two immediately fought back, while the guards in the trees, holding shurikens, threw them at the wolves at opportune moments.

Although Liu Siyue lacked combat experience, she was agile and killed the wolves that pounced on her one by one. This was the second time she had faced a bloody scene, and she felt a little unwell. She forced herself to suppress her nausea and did not vomit.

The wolf pack lost more than a dozen members in one fell swoop. The alpha wolf adopted a flanking tactic and did not attack head-on. It howled several more times, and seven or eight wolves left one after another, while the rest of the wolves stayed put.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, I just feel a little nauseous, but I can hold it in."

"You haven't seen enough blood. Most people would have this reaction. You'll get used to it after a few more times."

"Master, let me put you up in the tree first. You can rest for a bit. I'll take care of the rest of the wolves."

"Okay, then be careful."

Qingwu turned around, put her arm around Liu Siyue's waist, and with a light touch of her feet, she climbed up the tree and landed steadily on a branch. "Master, please sit here. I will finish the battle soon."

As she gracefully flew down, Liu Siyue vomited, her face turning pale.

The moment Qingwu landed, the wolf lying on the ground leaped up and pounced on her. Qingwu also leaped up, covering her sword tightly. By the time she stopped, all the wolves on the ground were dead. She knew that there were seven or eight wolves that had disappeared somewhere, which posed a potential danger.

She searched everywhere but saw no trace of him. Looking up at the tree, she asked, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Everyone, get down quickly. We're not far from the outer perimeter. Once we reach the outer perimeter, we'll be safe."

As soon as they came down, seven or eight wolves rushed out and immediately surrounded them. Ru Yu also got a sword, her hand trembling as she held it.

The wolves knew where the weak points were, so they launched a surprise attack. One wolf pounced on the guard, but Qingwu darted forward and was right in front of him, beheading the wolf with a single sword stroke.

They fought and retreated until they finally saw light at the edge of the forest. The wolves howled, retreated in unison, and ran away.

"Qingwu, why did these wolves suddenly run away?"

"The outer areas are not their territory; this seems to be an agreement between humans and animals."

The group finally emerged from the woods, collapsed to the ground, and gasped for breath.

"Qingwu, stop their bleeding first. Then, avoid some people and head down the mountain. Ruyu and I will go back to catch the carriage and get them to the clinic as soon as possible."

"The princess cannot be sent to the clinic. If she is discovered, not only will our master be in danger, but you will also be implicated. Those assassins did not return to report today, and others will come to investigate this matter."

"Alright, let's go back to the house in the city first."

We absolutely must not go to the village; it would be terrible if we frightened them, and they would probably never be allowed to come out again.

Liu Siyue and Ruyu descended the mountain and sneaked to the gate of the manor. "Ruyu greeted the gatekeeper and then slipped inside with Liu Siyue. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the courtyard, they quickly went back to their room and changed their clothes."

The two then came out. Liu Dawang heard a noise in the yard, which meant that Siyue and the others had probably returned. Seeing that they were empty-handed, he asked, "You didn't catch any prey?"

Ru Yu didn't know how to say it, so Liu Siyue quickly said, "We didn't go into the mountains. As soon as we got up there, the villagers stopped us and told us not to go in, saying that there were wolves and wild boars in the mountains that had injured people before."

They say listening to advice leads to a good meal, so we didn't risk venturing deep into the mountains. We just wandered around the outskirts, but the local villagers had already caught all the prey there, so we had to return empty-handed.

"April, come in," Madam Feng called from inside the house.

The two hurried inside. "You finally listened to advice and didn't go into the mountains. Thinking about what happened last year still sends chills down my spine."

Liu Siyue teased the child, "Mother, there isn't much food on the estate. Ruyu and I will go to the county town to buy some."

"Okay, buy whatever you want to eat."

The two of them drove two carriages out of the village and stopped at the fastest place that could pick them up. "Ruyu, you watch the carriages, I'll go check ahead."

Ru Yu nodded in agreement. Liu Siyue walked forward for a while, but didn't see anyone, so she called out, "Qingwu, Qingwu."

"master."

"The car is over there, everyone hurry up and get in."

The guards rode in horse-drawn carriages, while the princess rode in oxcarts. One of the guards insisted on riding in the oxcart to take care of the princess, and Liu Siyue gave in to her wishes. After all, the princess was a princess, and it was understandable that he was worried about her.

Ru Yu and Liu Siyue drove the oxcart, while Qingwu drove the horse-drawn carriage, heading towards the county town together. They entered the house directly through the back gate.

Qingwu immediately carried the princess out of the car. "Master, where are you placing her?"

"Take him to the guest room first."

Ningxiang saw so many people arrive. "Master, who are they?"

"Don't ask these questions yet. Tell everyone in the house to keep quiet. First, arrange accommodations for them, and then prepare meals."

"Yes, Master, I'll make the arrangements right away."

"My lord, what should we do about the princess's abdominal wound?"
