The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Chapter 251 Lin 5 in danger

Unlike the vibrant spring in the south with lush grass and chirping birds, the north is still chilly.

There was another heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the roads became even more muddy and difficult to walk on. I would slip every three steps.

On the road, a carriage was stuck in the mud, and no matter how hard the driver whipped it, it was of no use.

The driver had obviously lost his patience. He threw away the whip and jumped off the carriage in anger.

"Miss, the carriage is stuck in the mud and we're probably stuck. Why don't you get off and rest in the woods ahead? I'll go see if there's anyone nearby who can help."

"Alright."

With a string of silver bell-like sounds, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Lin Wantang got out of the carriage with the help of her maid Qingshuang.

The coachman lowered his head, a cold glint in his eyes.

Take money from people to help them eliminate disasters.

He took other people's money and waited to find a sparsely populated place to kill people and rob them.

However, Miss Lin Wu was born with delicate skin and tender flesh, her face was as delicate as a baby's, her waist was slender and her figure was even more graceful than that of the courtesan in the flower house.

It would be a pity to kill him.

It would be great if I could have a good and happy time before killing!

The coachman walked towards the side of the road with ulterior motives.

Qingshuang helped Lin Wantang walk to the edge of the grove, found a stone, wiped the snow off it, and spread a towel on it.

"Miss, sit down."

After Lin Wantang sat down, he poured her another glass of water and handed it to her.

"That's really strange. Miss, didn't you say it's spring in the south by now? You keep talking about how it's February with lush grass and flying orioles, and how the willows on the bank are swaying in the spring breeze. But look at this roadside, it's bare everywhere. How can there be any sign of spring?"

Lin Wantang took a sip of tea, looked up and around, also a little confused.

"It's really strange! We've been out for two days, so we should have reached Jinkou Wharf by now, but it looks like the place is getting more and more desolate the further we go."

As a lady from a wealthy family, she never went out of the house. How would she know how to get to Jinkou? She just went wherever the coachman told her to go.

and many more.

Lin Wantang instinctively felt a little uneasy.

By the time the driver came back after looking for people, it was already getting dark.

"Miss, I've looked around and can't find any villages nearby. It seems we have to spend the night here. Let's wait until tomorrow and see if there are any passersby who can help carry our carriage out."

The coachman was wearing a conical hat and lowered his head, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

"It seems that this is the only way."

Lin Wantang nodded and watched the coachman pile up stones on the roadside to start a fire. She pretended to be relaxed and started chatting about family matters:

"Big brother, are you the coachman of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?"

"Yes."

"Do you usually follow Sister Xu?"

"Yes."

"Sister Xu is a famous talented woman in Shengjing City. The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is truly blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Not only is Sister Xu so outstanding, but there is also the eldest daughter, Su Li, who married into the general's mansion. I heard that she was gentle, lovely, and virtuous even when she was still a child. There was a long line of people coming to propose marriage to her."

"The eldest lady is from a noble family, so naturally she is a beautiful woman sought after by hundreds of families."

The driver spoke casually, still busy building a fire, not noticing the sudden silence in the pitch-black camp. He looked up suddenly and saw, amidst the blaze, Lin Wantang, holding a stone in his hand and retreating a long way with a wary look on his face.

"Ms. Lin, what are you doing?"

The coachman had an idea and dropped the firewood in his hand and slowly stood up.

"do not move!"

Lin Wantang pointed at him and shouted, "Just stand there! Who are you? What do you want?"

The coachman sneered, licked his dry and cracked lips and said:

"I'm the coachman of the Su Mansion. Miss, we've been traveling together for two days and one night. Don't you recognize me?"

"You're not!" Lin Wantang shouted.

"Su Li, the eldest daughter of the Su family, had a terrible reputation when she was still a boudoir girl. Everyone in Shengjing knew that she was very demanding, domineering, and overbearing! How could she be gentle, kind, and virtuous? She had been engaged to the third son of the Marquis of Jinyuan since she was a child, so how could there be such a long queue of suitors? You're not even a coachman from the Marquis of Yong'an! Who are you?"

"Hehehe."

The driver laughed a few times, took off the bamboo hat he had been wearing, and revealed his face. In the firelight, he looked fierce, with a lewd smile on his lips.

"I thought you were such a fool, you couldn't tell east from west, south from north, good from bad, and you dared to run away from home all alone. I didn't expect you still had a little bit of brains."

"Hmph, I'm definitely not the coachman of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, or rather, I'm not really a coachman at all. My dear, I was originally thinking of taking you a little further away before we do it, but now it seems we'll have to spend our wedding night in this grove today. Hehehehehe..."

The driver rubbed his hands together and approached step by step with a lewd smile.

Qingshuang was so frightened that her legs went weak. She clung to Lin Wantang's arm and tried hard not to fall.

"Miss, what should we do?"

"What should I do?" The driver took another big step forward. "You are quite pretty, girl. After I sleep with your mistress, I will come and favor you. If you behave, I will take you two up the mountain to eat and drink delicious food. Wouldn't it be a happy life with you hugging me from now on?"

"Bah!" Lin Wantang raised the stone in his hand and smashed it against the driver's head, shouting, "Run!"

The master and servant lifted their skirts and ran in the direction of the carriage. They didn't dare to go into the woods at night, so they could only run towards the road, shouting for help as they ran, hoping that passers-by or nearby villagers would hear them.

But it was obvious that they were overthinking it.

Along the way, there was no one, not even a living thing, let alone people. Only the snow on the roadside reflected the light, making everything look white and miserable.

"what!"

Qingshuang tripped and fell to the ground. Lin Wantang turned around to save her, but was pushed away by Qingshuang.

"Miss, leave me alone! Run! Run!"

"No, I can't abandon you! I brought you up here, and even if we die, we must die together."

Lin Wantang dragged Qingshuang up, but the driver had already caught up with them.

"Girl, run! I've checked around here, there's no one here. When we have fun later, you can scream as much as you want, hahahaha."

"How much did Xu Jing give you? I'll give you double, no, ten times. As long as you let us go."

"Ten times? Haha, I'd like to take it, but I'm afraid I'll die. I'm content with a small fortune, and after I sleep with you two, the carriage and all the valuables in it will be mine."

The driver's face flashed with an unusually excited red light, and he let out a strange cry and rushed towards Lin Wantang.

"Tear!"

A large piece of Lin Wantang's sleeve was torn off.

In an instant, a piece of skin was vaguely exposed. Under the reflection of the snow, the white skin stimulated the driver to laugh even more perversely, and he pounced on him like a beast.

"Miss!"

Qingshuang struggled to her feet, grabbed a stone and threw it at the driver.

With a bang, the back of the driver's head exploded. He raised his hand to touch the blood, and his body swayed a few times, but he didn't fall down at all. Instead, the animal in him was aroused. He raised his fist as big as a sandbag and smashed it on Qingshuang's head. Qingshuang groaned and fell to the ground.

The driver did not give up. He picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it on Qingshuang's head. Qingshuang lay on the ground and died without making any sound.

"Shuang'er!"

Everything happened so fast that Lin Wantang watched helplessly as the maid who had grown up with her had her head smashed by the brutal coachman.

"Hmph! It's better to have one less person. It saves us from all the noise. My dear lady, now it's our turn."
