Upon hearing Nanny Xuâs words, Old Madam Jiang said softly,â Although Iâve been dissatisfied with her for so many years, I have to admit that sheâs indeed good, butâ¦â
âOld Madam, be careful!â
Before Old Madam Jiang could finish her sentence, the carriage suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Nanny Xu quickly supported Old Madam Jiang who almost bumped into something.
Once Old Madam Jiang steadied herself, Nanny Xu questioned the driver,â Old Liu, how did you drive the carriage? Donât you know that Old Madam Jiang is in the carriage?â
As she spoke, Nanny Xu directly lifted the curtain, but the scene in front made her face change immediately.
âWhat⦠what is this?â
Old Madam Jiang also saw the scene outside.
A group of masked men suddenly appeared with knives. Old Liu had already left the carriage.
The servants of the Jiang family all knew some martial arts, but they were not match for these rogue who suddenly appeared.
When Old Liu was blocking the people from coming this way, he shouted at Nanny Xu,â Quickly take the old madam away. Weâll stop them.â
Most of the servants in the Jiang family had lost their relatives in battles, and the Jiang family had taken them in.
So these people were very loyal.
Even though they knew they were no match for these people, they still asked Nanny Xu to take Old Madam Jiang away.
âOld Liu?â
But as Old Liu finished speaking, he was slashed with a knife.
Seeing this scene, Nanny Xuâs was full of worry, and Old Madam Jiangâs face turn urglier.
âHurry up and leave.â
Old Liu shouted with all his might. Nanny Xu, with tears in her eyes, held Old Madam Jiangâs hand and whispered, âOld Madam, we should leave quickly.â âThink of leaving? Itâs not that easy.â
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they saw two black-clad men coming this way.
âYou, what do you want to do? My old madam is from the Generalâs Mansion. Youâ¦â
âWeâre here for the people in the Generalâs Mansion.â
Two men were walking towards them. Nanny Xu stepped in front of Old Madam Jiang to protect her. But before she could finish speaking, the men stopped her with a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang frowned.
Pushing Nanny Xu away, she looked at the two of them coldly.â Who sent you here?â
Although Old Madam Jiang felt extremely anxious inside, she was very calm.
Seeing her composure, the earlier rogue laughed, âThe old madam from the Jiang family is truly something. Even facing death, she can still stay so calm.â âHurry up and save them!â
Just as Old Madam Jiang was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice.
She turned to see Liu Xin, who had lifted the carriage curtain.
Seeing Liu Xin stirred complex emotions within Old Madam Jiang.
Liu Xin was also planning to go to Lingyun Temple today but had stumbled upon this scene instead. Fearing for Liu Xinâs safety, the Liu family had hired quite a number of guards for her.
These guards were not weak in martial arts, but they were still a bit inferior to these rogues.
Besides, Liu Xin didnât bring many people with her. Seeing her side losing, Liu Xin directly walked over to Old Madam Jiang and whispered, âOld madam, itâs too dangerous here, we should leave quickly.â
Saying this, Liu Xin led Old Madam Jiang towards a small path.
Seeing this, Nanny Xu quickly followed.
âWhy are you here?â
âOld Madam, now is not the time to talk about this. Letâs think of a way to get out of danger first.â
Liu Xinâs eyes were filled with fear, but she still tried her best to remain calm.
Seeing her expression, Old Madam Jiang said in a low voice,â Those people are here for me. This has nothing to do with you. Youâ¦â
âOld Madam, 1 canât ignore you.â
Liu Xin didnât dare to take the main road, so she took Old Madam Jiang to the small road.
At this moment, the three of them had already walked into a small forest. Seeing that there was no movement behind them, Liu Xin looked at Nanny Xu and said,â Nanny, please take off the old madamâs clothes.ââ
âMiss Liu, why is that?â
âThose people might be chasing after us. Iâll wear the old madamâs clothes and walk that way. You hide with the old madam somewhere else.â
While speaking, Liu Xin had already started to take off her cloak.
When Nanny Xu heard this, she immediately said,â Miss Liu, you donât look like the old madam. How about this? 1â11 put on the old madamâs clothes, and you hide with the old madam.â
âYu Zhen?â
Old Madam Jiangâs eyes were filled with worry when she heard Nanny Xuâs words.
Nanny Xu smiled. â1 have served you my whole life. 1 am willing to die for you.â
As she spoke, Nanny Xu had already put on the old madamâs cloak.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Old Madam Jiang grabbed Nanny Xuâs hand tightly,â Be careful.â
âOld Madam, rest assured. I still have to take care of you, 1 wonât die.â Nanny Xu reassured.
She then bowed to Liu Xin.â Miss Liu, 1â11 entrust my old madam to you.ââ
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely protect the old madam.â
Then, the three of them split up.
Liu Xin brought the old madam into the forest.
It had been a long time since Old Madam Jiang had walked so far, Soon, she started panting with exhaustion, but she persisted with gritted teeth.
However, Liu Xin stopped when she heard Old Madam Jiangâs panting.
After looking around at the environment, she squatted down in front of the old madam, âOld Madam, we have to go deep into the forest, I will carry you.â âHow can you carry me with your weak body?â the old madam questioned.
Liu Xinâs figure was thin, while Old Madam Jiangâs figure was plump.
However, Liu Xin laughed when she heard this.â Donât worry, Old Madam. 1 wonât drop you.â
âI used to go to the shop often, and 1 followed my elder brother to some places. My stamina is quite good.â
Old Madam Jiang could not walk anymore. Hearing Liu Xinâs words, she lay on her back.
âIf you are tired, you must tell me.â
âYes.â
Liu Xin nodded and carried Old Madam Jiang into the forest.
The mountain path was extremely difficult to walk. After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on Liu Xinâs forehead.
Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Old Madam Jiangâs eyes revealed a complicated look.
Liu Xin didnât know how long she had been walking. All she knew was they had to keep moving forward. However, she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Hearing this voice, Liu Xinâs expression changed.
Liu Xin carefully put Old Madam Jiang down and looked around. Then, she helped Old Madam Jiang to walk behind a big tree. Breaking some branches, Liu Xin covered Old Madam Jiang with the them and whispered,â Old Madam, stay here and donât come out. I someone comes, Iâll lure them away.â
As Liu Xin was about to walk away, Old Madam Jiang grabbed her hand.
âBe careful,â Old Madam Jiang whispered when she saw Liu Xinâs confused expression.
Hearing the old madamâs words, Liu Xin smiled.â Donât worry, Iâll come and find you soon.â
Then, Liu Xin went down another path, deliberately leaving some traces on the branches behind her..
