Before anyone could see how she moved, they saw that the maidservant was already lying on the ground with a swollen face. She was also looking at the old man who had hit her in disbelief.

It was as if she did not expect this person to hit someone at the slightest disagreement.

Under everyone’s gazes, Shen Yijia took a few steps forward and looked down at Cai Yun. “If not for me, not to mention how many people your horse would have killed, you might have died too.”

“I haven’t asked you to give me money to save my life, but you’re blaming me first.” she thought.

“Don’t tell me you think that your Miss and your life combined can’t compare to a horse?”

As soon as she spoke, everyone was shocked. How could this be a woman? Moreover, this voice…

The onlookers silently swallowed the name. Their hearts trembled and they scattered, not daring to watch anymore.

Shen Yijia looked at the onlooker who did not dare to turn around and pick up her shoes because she had walked too quickly. She was stunned for a moment. She was not a ferocious beast. Was she that terrifying?

Cai Yun also recognized this voice. She struggled to stand up while Shen Yijia was distracted.

She pointed at Shen Yijia. “How dare you hit me? You’re so shameless that you only know how to freeload.”

“Cai Yun, shut up.”

Everything had happened too quickly just now, and Liu Piaopiao’s mind was still buzzing.

At this moment, she had just woken up when she heard this. She usually had a good temper, but she was furious.

She had always known that Cai Yun was a little arrogant, especially since the Liu family had been praised by the citizens of Xunyang City recently. Her thoughts became even more complicated.

After all, they had grown up together. As long as Cai Yun did not go overboard, Piaopiao would tolerate it. At most, she would reprimand her verbally.

Putting aside the last sentence.

She could even say such ungrateful words to the person who had just saved her.

If she made a mistake in the future, she would probably be the first person to avoid her.

“M-Miss…”

This was the first time Liu Piaopiao had been so strict with her. Cai Yun’s face turned pale.

At the same time, she felt a little aggrieved. She was telling the truth. Moreover, these horses were so precious.

Liu Piaopiao made up her mind not to look at her.

She felt a little embarrassed. She was afraid that Shen Yijia would remember what Cai Yun had said about freeloading. How would the two of them interact in the future?

She stepped forward and did not dare to look Shen Yijia in the eye. “Sister Jiajia, I’m sorry. This girl doesn’t know what to say. I won’t let her off easily when we get back.”

“Miss!” Cai Yun was shocked. How could her Miss apologize to someone so humbly?

She did not take the punishment Liu Piaopiao mentioned to heart. Their master-servant relationship of more than ten years could not compare to a person who had only known her for less than two months.

“If you still acknowledge me as your mistress, apologize!” Liu Piaopiao’s voice suddenly became stern and resolute.

Cai Yun gritted her teeth and bowed to Shen Yijia reluctantly. “I’m sorry.”

Shen Yijia crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She turned to look at Liu Piaopiao. “Are you alright? Why did the horse get startled?”

Seeing that Shen Yijia’s attitude towards her had not changed, Liu Piaopiao heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, her face fell. “I went to look for you when the snow stopped. I heard that you were not at home, so I could only return to the residence.”

“I didn’t expect my coachman to suddenly have a stomachache halfway, so I stopped the carriage by the roadside. For some reason, the horse went crazy as soon as the coachman got out of the carriage.”

“Someone tampered with the horse.”

Before Shen Yijia could speak, a sudden voice sounded.

Liu Piaopiao blushed when she saw who it was.

Shen Yijia did not notice Liu Piaopiao’s abnormality. She looked in the direction Qian Youde was pointing at and saw a red dot on the side of the horse.

“What’s this?” Shen Yijia asked.

Qian Youde said proudly, “If I’m not wrong, someone must have stabbed something here. The horse naturally went crazy from the pain.”

“Miss, you’d better send someone to capture that coachman quickly. We’ll know when we ask.”

He looked at Liu Piaopiao and said the last sentence. If not for the fact that she had a good character and was not as rude as that maidservant, he would not have said anything.

Of course, the main reason was that Shen Yijia seemed to be on good terms with this person.

When Liu Piaopiao heard this, she understood that someone wanted to harm her.

Ignoring her shyness, she hurriedly thanked him and hired a few commoners to help send the horses and carriage home.

Shen Yijia did not join in on the fun. Firstly, this was their family matter.

Secondly, it was because of Cai Yun’s words.

Since Liu Piaopiao’s personal maidservant had said so, the others probably looked at her the same way.

Even though it was the truth, she still felt embarrassed.

Shen Yijia blushed. She finally understood what her beautiful husband meant by giving the Liu family a gift.

Looking at Liu Piaopiao who left in a daze in the direction the crowd, Qian Youde suddenly muttered, “I didn’t expect there to be such a fat woman.”

Shen Yijia immediately rolled her eyes and turned to walk home. She said, “You make it sound like you’ve never gained weight.”

A smile flashed across Qian Youde’s eyes and he quickly followed. “That was in the past. Haven’t I lost weight now? Look, all those young ladies will blush when they see me.”

As he spoke, he even winked at a woman who was looking at him with infatuation. The woman immediately covered her face and ran away.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

The two of them teased each other and forgot about the incident just now.

Mo Yuan followed behind and looked back in the direction Cai Yun had left. Killing intent flashed across her eyes.

While Song Jingchen found out about the Wu Kingdom, a group of people rode into the border town of the Wu Kingdom.

The passers-by avoided them. Their town was the only way to the capital.

Such things often happened. Everyone was used to it.

However, this time, there were still people discussing it. It was because the leader was the Ghost-Faced General, also widely known as the War God of the Wu Kingdom.

The Ghost-Faced General was the adopted son of their country-guarding general, General Yan Guangmao. He went to the battlefield at the age of 15 and was only a young adult now.

No one had seen his face before. The only thing they could recognize was the green fang mask he wore.

Therefore, everyone called him the Ghost-Faced General.

It was rumored that the Ghost-Faced General’s face was ruined by a fire when he was young, so he did not show his true face.

At first, no one believed these rumors, until it was rumored that a woman who admired the Ghost-Faced General had bribed her servants to hide in his room.

After seeing him take off his mask, everyone had no choice but to believe the rumors that the Ghost-Faced General was disfigured.

However, the Ghost-Faced General was brave and good at fighting. He had led troops to win many battles and defended the border of the Wu Kingdom.

“Did something happen in the capital? Why is the general going back?” It had to be known that ever since he came to the border, the Ghost-Faced General had not returned to the capital for several years.
