C61 (1/2)

Noon had passed.

The majority of the crowd dispersed.

Some went home to eat and some went home to rest. Soon, only her palanquin and her groom were left at the gates of the General's Estate.

He whispered with a smile, ”Why is the general like this? What's the point of leaving the girl here?”

Ning Huan touched her and leaned close to the palanquin. She whispered, ”The general has always been guarding the north and has long been treated as a thorn in the side by those people in the north. Who knows how many people have interfered with his marriage this time.

So the smell wasn't a hallucination. Someone really was trying to sneak in on her? So, in a place she didn't know, her wedding had been stained with blood.

In the sedan chair, Yi Xiaoqiao took a bite of an apple while a thought flashed through her mind. As she lifted the curtain to look, she discovered that both sides of the sedan chair were already surrounded by people. They were all wearing red clothes and looked like an ordinary wedding procession.

In other words, Muyi had long anticipated that someone would sneak attack her and had prepared people to protect her, but he didn't know who was the person who did it. Was it like Ning Huan said, Muyi's enemy, or was it the person who tried to kill her before?

Had Mu Yi An found something? Why didn't he tell her?

Thinking of what Lin Yi said that day, Yi Xiaoqiao's heart sank. She didn't like to be kept in the dark. If Muyi had told her, she would have made preparations in advance and wouldn't have been so nervous.

He didn't even have a defensive weapon by his side. What if something really happened to him?

Yi Xiaoqiao rubbed her head and felt the swaying step. Holding it in her hand, she felt slightly more at ease.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

A dissatisfied laugh came from outside, ”Miss hasn't entered yet, how can you close the door! This is too much! ”

”Heh, the general ordered us to close the door in advance!” The steward's complacent voice came from inside.

”You guys have really gone too far …” He stomped his feet in anger.

”Don't yell, don't scream, the young lady heard it!” Ning Huan lowered her voice and reminded him with a smile.

However, he did not know that the voice had already reached Yi Xiaoqiao's ears. The butler had purposely reminded her so loudly, so how could she not hear it?

She lifted the curtain and looked outside. The wedding nanny, matchmaker, and sedan bearers were gone, leaving only Ning Huan and the smiling man. There were also the guards that Muyi An had arranged.

Yi Xiaoqiao bent down and walked out.

Ning Huan hastily went to help her up. ”Miss, why did you come down? You're covering your head.”

”No need.” Yi Xiaoqiao looked at the tightly shut gates of the general's manor and smiled faintly. 'You're trying to intimidate her, aren't you? I'll deal with you later!'

The sun had reached its zenith and it was the toughest time of the day. The guard's forehead was covered with sweat and although he was tense, his mind was already beginning to slack off.

”Everyone is tired.” Yi Xiaoqiao whispered.

Ning Huan nodded. Anyone would be tired from working so hard in the morning.

”Lady, you don't have to worry. Go back to your palanquin and wait. The general will be back soon.” Ning Huan consoled.

”Wait? Wait until when? I'm afraid he won't come back. ”

Although Yu Heng didn't say it explicitly, Yi Xiaoqiao knew that the person in trouble was Princess Yun Jiao. It was because it was Yun Jiao that they had to hide, which was why Mu Yi An was so nervous.
