The driver in front stretched his neck to look, and suddenly a group of people erged from the side of the road.
The driver saw nothing else but the gleaming knives in the hands of the group.
"Oh my god!" The driver in front tumbled off the shaft and ran for his life.
The driver at the back saw the situation and also jumped off the carriage, running desperately.
Fortunately, the robbers seed to know that these drivers did not have much worth on them, so they ignored them and headed towards the two carriages with their knives.
This group of people had their heads covered with black cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed, and soon surrounded the two carriages completely.
After a while, ensuring that the two drivers were far gone, one of the masked n lifted the curtain of the carriage, made a bow towards the inside, "Please get out of the carriage."
Gu Yuheng nimbly climbed out of the carriage.
Mrs. Liu also followed him out of the carriage.
She looked at Gu Yuheng, her eyes seemingly filled with countless words, but finally, she only faintly asked, "Gu Lang, will you truly not forgive ?"
Gu Yuheng stared at her for a long ti, made a bow, "It’s a long journey ahead, take care, madam." Then he walked to the side, turned his back, and no longer looked at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu sorrowfully watched Gu Yuheng’s back, gritted her teeth, and walked forward with big steps.
She got into the carriage, quickly changed into n’s clothing, and the maid helped her tie her hair into a man’s style. Mrs. Liu ca out from the carriage, sat on the shaft, and raised the whip, "Hyah—"
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
The masked Ah Qiu then invited Gu Yuheng onto the horse carriage and turned to head back the way they ca.
Mrs. Liu drove the carriage swiftly ahead; tonight, they must not rest at the inn, otherwise, as soon as the governnt investigates, they will quickly be exposed.
When she used to follow her father on business trips to other places, she had learned to drive a carriage for fun, unexpectedly, it ca in handy now.
The night wind lifted her hair, also drying the tears on her face.
To this day, she does not regret it.
Having had this period of mutual affection with Gu Yuheng, letting her know there’s such a good man in this world, ant she hadn’t lived in vain.
As for the future, she feels she can live slowly with her mories.
Just as Mrs. Liu was imagining herself old, with white hair, sitting by the door recalling the past, the horse suddenly neighed long, its front legs violently buckled down, and then the horse fell to the ground.
The moving carriage also tipped forward, and Mrs. Liu was thrown from the shaft to the ground, that’s when she saw a rope stretched across the road.
The maid and the child inside the carriage were also thrown out.
Four-year-old Tao’er, who had been asleep, woke up only after falling to the ground and began to cry loudly.
Mrs. Liu lay on the ground, feeling several bones in her body had been broken, her whole body in such pain it felt like it was going to split apart.
Hearing her son’s crying, she was anxious and worried he might have been hurt, struggling to crawl towards his direction.
The maid, out of loyalty, had tightly protected the child in her arms at the mont the carriage lost control, so when Tao’er fell to the ground, he wasn’t hurt, but the maid had hit her head and was unconscious.
Just as Mrs. Liu was crawling towards her son, a gleaming long sword pierced into her back.
At that mont, Mrs. Liu only felt a chilling coldness, piercing her heart from her back.
Mrs. Liu had also wondered if she would be annihilated.
She thought of following Gu Yuheng partly for this consideration, but she knew that in front of those truly powerful people, even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t.
