Chapter 369 It's too much to let a child drive the bus
The bandits gave Liao Xinyi one last day to think about it. If she still refused to answer their questions, then Liao Xinyi would become their wife. By then, even if Liao Xinyi had a hairpin and knew how to acupuncture, she would not be able to resist several people at the same time.
When Su Nuan heard this, she understood that this question was the focus of the bandits.
They sent people to insult Liao Xinyi in order to get answers.
If Liao Xinyi was an ordinary woman, she might answer their questions happily after a few simple threats, but Liao Xinyi was determined and had some means of self-protection, so they did not succeed. So they threatened her with even more despicable means the next day.
Su Nuan didn't dare to think about what Liao Xinyi would face next. She only listened roughly to how Liao Xinyi set fire to the house and how she covered Danggui's escape, and then hurriedly asked the question she wanted most - what questions did the bandits ask Liao Xinyi?
Then little Danggui looked at Mu Yunting timidly.
Mu Yunting was startled by what he saw, but then he remembered something and said, "Did they ask your master about the man I asked her to treat?"
Little Angelica nodded vigorously.
Su Nuan never expected that this matter was actually related to Mu Yunting, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Who did you ask her to heal?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's rescue the people first."
After Mu Yunting finished speaking, he called Falcon and Liefeng who were following them not far away.
Su Nuan knew that saving people was the top priority now, so she stopped worrying about her own problems. However, she felt a little uneasy when she saw Liefeng and Lieying being summoned by Mu Yunting.
"Xiaobai, go to the general's mansion and find my third brother. I have something to ask him."
"Miss, there's only one street left to the Prince's Mansion. I'll take you back before we go."
"No, I'll go back. You go find the third brother."
Ye Xiaobai heard that she was in a hurry, so he stood up and ran away.
Mu Yunting gave a few instructions to Liefeng and Lieying and asked them to take action.
He turned around and frowned when he saw Ye Xiaobai leaving.
"I have arranged for someone to rescue Dr. Liao. You don't have to let Changze get involved."
Su Nuan also didn't want her third brother to get involved in Mu Yunting's affairs, but she didn't trust Mu Yunting now. She didn't know who the person Liao Xinyi saved was, but that person must be very important to Mu Yunting. The secret that only Xinyi knew was too dangerous for Xinyi. Anyway, she was the future sister-in-law she had chosen, so she let her third brother go to save the beauty to win her favor, and then let him share the secret to ensure Xinyi's safety.
Of course she couldn't tell the truth, so she just said that Liao Xinyi had treated her third brother's injuries, and her third brother had always wanted to find a chance to repay her. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he couldn't miss it.
Mu Yunting didn't think so much. He just didn't want to see Xia Changze. "There's no rush to repay him. After rescuing the person, he can invite him back to the general's mansion to repay him. Don't cause trouble at this time."
"And you sent the driver away, how are we going to get back home?"
Su Nuan was irritated by the word "chaos" and replied unhappily, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is multi-talented. Can a small carriage really stump you?"
The implication was that he wanted the Crown Prince to drive the carriage.
Mu Yunting is indeed proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, axes, knives and forks, but he really can't drive a horse-drawn carriage!
"My beloved concubine thinks highly of me!"
Su Nuan thought Mu Yunting would be angry, why did he say such a light sentence?
"It's not far from the mansion. Let's walk back."
Mu Yunting suggested.
Su Nuan naturally had no objection. This short distance was nothing to her. Besides, it was she who asked Xiaobai to leave immediately.
"Concubine Xia, how about I drive the carriage?"
Angelica calmed down and returned to being a little adult again.
Su Nuan and Mu Yunting looked at the child together, both finding it incredible.
"I can drive a carriage. My master has wanted to buy a carriage for a long time, and I learned it secretly."
Su Nuan and Mu Yunting looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes: Is it reliable?
Su Nuan thought for a moment and agreed to let Danggui try. After all, there was only one street, and all the people living on this street were dignitaries, so there were not many pedestrians on the street.
But she overlooked one thing: learning doesn’t mean she has actually done it!
Little Danggui sat on the shaft of the cart with full confidence, and after asking for the direction, he raised the whip in his hand.
Mu Yunting was worried, so he lifted the car curtain and tried to stop it when he saw it, but unfortunately he was a step too late.
The next moment, the horse ran away joyfully, the child screamed in fear, and his two heads were hit so hard that stars were coming out.
Even though Mu Yunting protected Su Nuan's head at the first moment, just like he was half a beat slow in stopping Danggui, he missed the first impact, and then he lost his balance due to inertia.
The two people crashed into the carriage one after another, then were bounced away one after another, and then hit again. The rhythm was always one beat off, repeating over and over again.
Finally, Mu Yunting saw the right moment and pulled the person into his arms, so that he was able to adjust his posture and support himself against the wall of the carriage.
But he could only do this much. It was not possible to jump off a speeding carriage while holding a person.
Fortunately, the guard in front of the Prince's Mansion recognized Concubine Xia's carriage, and he reacted quickly enough to call for people to intercept the carriage in time.
It took a lot of effort for everyone to stop the frightened horse.
"It's so dangerous!"
"Who is this kid? How can he behave like this? Do you think you can play with a carriage?"
"If the carriage was stolen by this kid, Concubine Xia will be left without a carriage to ride in. Kid, where did you steal the carriage?"
Although Su Nuan was later held in Mu Yunting's arms, she was still dizzy and it took her a long time after the carriage stopped for her to recover.
Struggling to sit up.
Mu Yunting suddenly felt empty, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was right for the guards to stop the carriage.
"I didn't steal the carriage. Concubine Xia asked me to drive it. If you don't believe me, I'll ask you."
Danggui, who was still in shock, was a little afraid when facing the guards' questioning and needed to prove something urgently.
"Concubine Xia, please tell them that it was you who agreed to let me drive the carriage."
Su Nuan felt helpless. This was really a wrong decision!
She sighed and said, "I agreed to this. You don't have to embarrass him."
After saying this, she straightened her loose hair and got off the carriage.
The guards at the door were all familiar with Su Nuan, and when they saw how embarrassed she was, they all tried to persuade her.
"Concubine Xia, it's too dangerous to let the child drive the carriage."
"Yes, it's a good thing we recognized your carriage, otherwise something bad would have happened today."
"You have a new driver, why don't you see him?"
"..."
Mu Yunting had no idea that his concubine was so approachable.
He coughed lightly, lifted the curtain and walked steadily down from the carriage.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always looks cold and superior in front of others.
When the guards saw him, they immediately fell silent and quickly returned to their positions.
Mu Yunting remained calm on the surface, but a question mark appeared in his mind: Am I so scary?
