Chapter 108: First visit to the courtyard
Without Su Nuan, the "burden", Ye Yin's fighting power was exerted to the extreme, and he quickly wiped out the men in black who besieged him.
After he solved the trouble in front of him, he immediately came to help Mu Yunting.
With Ye Yin's joining, Mu Yunting immediately felt relieved. He protected Su Nuan and slowly withdrew from the battle.
When they reached a safe area, Su Nuan let go of her hand and asked, "Why are there only you and Ye Yin? Where are the others?"
What she wanted to ask was why the other guards didn't come together, but Mu Yunting said unhappily: "Can't the two of us save you?"
"Are you out of your mind? Can't you just hide in the house in such a dangerous situation? Are you afraid of losing your life by rushing out like that?"
"I"
"If Ye Yin and I hadn't arrived in time, would you still be alive now?"
Su Nuan felt a little aggrieved after being scolded by Mu Yunting, but she couldn't refute him since the other person had just saved her life.
So he looked at the "culprit" Zhao Zong, and was shocked to see that the man who had been so brave just now was now lying quietly on the ground, covered in blood.
After the experience of Li Liu's death because of her, Su Nuan was very afraid that Zhao Zong would die as well.
She instinctively walked to Zhao Zong to check his breath, and suddenly her wrist was grabbed by Mu Yunting.
Looking up, Mu Yunting was staring at Zhao Zong on the ground with a frown on his face.
"He is my driver, not a bad man."
Su Nuan was afraid that Mu Yunting would misunderstand, so she quickly explained.
"I know he's not a bad person, but you're the Crown Prince's concubine. When will you be able to put your identity in perspective?"
It turned out that Mu Yunting cared about this, Su Nuan suddenly realized, but in her opinion, her identity as a concubine was really not that valuable, especially compared with a living life.
Su Nuan shook off Mu Yunting's hand and reached out to Zhao Zong's nose. She breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the warm breath.
She originally wanted to check on Zhao Zong's injuries, but she caught a glimpse of Mu Yunting's unfriendly expression, and Ye Yin had just dealt with the men in black and was walking towards this side, so she gave up the idea.
The most important thing was that they were close. She saw Zhao Zong's eyelids trembling slightly. Thinking of how this man pretended to faint in the room just now, Su Nuan suddenly felt that she was worrying too much.
She pointed at Zhao Zong and said to Ye Yin, "This man just saved me. Please take care of him and don't let him die."
Ye Yin nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Tracer arrived with her secret guards, and the finishing work in the courtyard naturally fell on these people.
Su Nuan then remembered to check on the purple-clothed man, who was the mastermind behind her kidnapping. She took the lead and walked into the house. As soon as she reached the door, she was stunned. The purple-clothed man who was supposed to be tied to the ground with ropes had disappeared. There was only a rope and a charred corpse on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Mu Yunting asked when he saw her expression change.
Su Nuan calmed down and replied, "The mastermind who kidnapped me ran away."
She described the appearance of the man in purple, and Mu Yunting immediately ordered the secret guards to find this person.
But the secret guards searched the entire house but couldn't find him.
After being tossed around for most of the day and being a little frightened, Su Nuan was already showing signs of fatigue. Mu Yunting ordered Tracer to continue looking for clues in the mansion, while he took Su Nuan back home to rest.
When Su Nuan was tied up, she was pulled here in a carriage, but now there was no sign of a carriage inside or outside the mansion. Mu Yunting and others came on horseback, so there was no carriage for Su Nuan to ride.
She looked at the two horses that Ye Yin led over and felt a little worried. Although her original body could ride horses and she had also proved that she could use this skill of her original body, the accident at the racecourse last time left her with some trauma and she was very resistant to riding horses.
Mu Yunting got on the horse first. Seeing that Su Nuan was reluctant to move, he didn't say much. He stretched out his long arms and carried Su Nuan onto his horse's back.
"The city gates are closed at this hour, so let's stay in the villa for one night." After saying that, Mu Yunting tightened the reins and whispered in Su Nuan's ear, "Hold on tight."
The next moment, the sound of wind passed by Su Nuan's ears, so she reluctantly leaned over and hugged the horse's neck tightly to prevent herself from falling off the horse.
Originally, she was not a petite woman. At this moment, Su Nuan was lying on the horse's back, with her buttocks pressed against Mu Yunting's embarrassing part. This posture was awkward and embarrassing, but the horse was running too fast, and she couldn't adjust her posture. She could only close her eyes and pray to reach the villa quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, the horse finally stopped. Mu Yunting jumped off the horse first, handed the reins to Su Nuan, and quickly walked into the gate of a house.
Su Nuan looked at the reins in her hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really wanted to see what was going on in this man's train of thought. Shouldn't a normal man help himself off the horse in this situation?
Even if he doesn't like me, he should still have the manners of a man!
After belittling Mu Yunting in her heart, Su Nuan carefully got off the horse.
Soon a servant came out of the house, took the reins from her, and led the horse away.
It was Su Nuan's first time to come to this villa, and it was night time. It was pitch dark and she was afraid that she had taken the wrong road, so she waited in front of the door, thinking that the servant would come back to take her in after settling the horses. However, she waited and waited but no one showed up until night fell.
"Why is the Concubine standing here and not going in?"
"I don't know where to go."
"The Concubine, please follow me." Ye Yin walked in front, saying, "Your Highness rarely comes to the other courtyard. When he comes, I serve him. There are no servants here except for a few servants who are responsible for guarding the courtyard. I'm afraid the Concubine will have to endure a night of injustice tonight."
"It's okay. I'm not used to being waited on."
"I have an unwelcome request."
Ye Yin suddenly turned around with a serious expression. Su Nuan was startled and asked quickly, "Just tell me if there is anything you need me to do."
"The Concubine was frightened today and should have rested well. I shouldn't have made such a request, but Your Highness has been tired all day and has been running around looking for you all night. He hasn't eaten yet. There is no cook in this villa, and now the city gates are closed, so there is no way to buy food, so could you please cook something for Your Highness yourself?"
This request surprised Su Nuan a little, but she didn't refuse. After all, the other person had just saved her, and it was only right to cook a meal as a reward. Besides, she was hungry herself.
"That's easy. Take me to the kitchen."
Hearing this, Ye Yin made a gesture of invitation and took Su Nuan to the kitchen.
Half an hour later, when Su Nuan came to Mu Yunting's room with two bowls of steaming noodles, she heard the following conversation:
"Your Highness, the wound is still bleeding. Let me apply medicine to you first."
"No, I won't move."
"We don't know when the Concubine will be here yet, and you can't leave your wound like this!"
Su Nuan was speechless. Was this man waiting for her to apply medicine to him?
"Go check if Xia Qingyan's meal is ready. You are so clumsy and slow at everything."
Mu Yunting's voice sounded again in the room. Su Nuan looked at the tray in her hand and rolled her eyes. She kicked the door open and said loudly, "I'm so sorry to have kept Your Highness waiting for so long."
