It was the rule of the Xu family that every time Marquis Ning Yuan came back from the army, he would go to a nearby temple. But this time, because Xu Qingmo had a fever at night, Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her, so she didn't let the girl wake her up.
Therefore, when Xu Qingmo got up, she was the only one left in the family.
"Father, when did they leave?" Xu Qingmo was a little confused, "Why didn't you come to call me?"
"The girl had a fever last night and fell asleep all night. The eldest lady felt sorry for her, so she didn't let us wake her up and go together!" Hua Ying said while combing Xu Qingmo's hair.
Xu Qingmo was a little helpless: "My mother didn't let me shout, so you really stopped shouting? This is the rule of the Xu family. They all went, but I didn't go. What does this sound like?"
"Young lady, you didn't mean not to go. She's not feeling well, so it doesn't matter if she takes a day off!" Qu Lian came in with breakfast, "Young girl had a fever last night, so today the small kitchen is cooking something lighter!"
Xu Qingmo took a look at the breakfast. There was no oil or water at all. It was indeed light.
Just as the master and servant were talking, someone suddenly announced outside the door, and Qu Lian went out with a puzzled face.
Not long after, Qu Lian walked in with an unfamiliar maid: "Girl, she said she is the maid of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince asked her to bring it to you if he has something to say!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the maid in front of him and frowned slightly: "Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I was purchased by the prince recently. It's normal for the girl to have never seen me!" the maid said softly, "This morning, when the prince went out, he asked me to tell the girl that if the girl is okay, she will catch up with them and go. Praying for blessings is a rule of the Xu family and cannot be broken!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows slightly without leaving any trace: "Oh? Did he say which temple he went to?"
The maid smiled: "Girl, you are joking, of course it is Qing'an Temple where you often go!"
Xu Qingmo stared at the maid for a long time. Just when the maid was nervous and a little overwhelmed, she nodded: "I understand!"
The maid didn't stay long, she excused herself and left.
Xu Qingmo waited until the maid's footsteps were far away, then she said coldly: "Hua Ying, go prepare the car!"
"Girl, this girl is clearly not from our house!" Hua Ying said softly.
Xu Qingmo nodded: "I know, that's why we have to follow up to see who is trying to do something behind his back!"
Seeing Xu Qingmo's insistence, Hua Ying hurried to prepare the car.
Qu Lian took the comb and continued to comb Xu Qingmo's hair: "Girl, should we bring more people?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "No, there are too many people going, and the poisonous snakes won't dare to show their heads. It's just the three of us going!"
"Okay!" Qu Lian agreed with a smile. Her skills were not very good, so she combed her hair very simply.
It wasn't until he went out that Xu Qingmo knew that Xu Xiaozhen had also gone with him to pray for blessings this time. Xu Qingmo was a little strange: "Second uncle has always disliked these things, so why did he go with him today?"
"I heard that Xu Qingling persuaded the second master to go with him, saying that he wanted to atone for Mrs. Wen's sins!" Qu Lian sat down in front of Xu Qingmo and said softly.
Xu Qingmo lowered his eyes: "I know!"
Xu Qingmo's sudden depression made the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly gloomy and gloomy.
The carriage kept walking in the direction of Qing'an Temple. Hua Ying paid more attention and rolled up the carriage curtain slightly so that she could see the scene outside.
"Girl!" The carriage suddenly stopped and the coachman shouted.
The three of them looked at each other, and Qu Lian took the lead in opening the curtain and walked out.
Qu Lian looked at the horse thieves surrounding the carriage, and her expression changed drastically: "Girl, it's a horse thieves!"
"Hey, you still have some knowledge!" Scarface, the leader, laughed, "You also know that we are horse thieves!"
Xu Qingmo, who was sitting in the carriage, did not panic at all. She said calmly: "Do you know whose carriage this is?"
"We don't care whose carriage this is, we only know that someone is paying for your lives!" Scarface said coldly, "Little girl, the capital is dangerous. If you say you have nothing to do, why are you offending others? Say no. Well, it takes a few lives to get in!"
"Open your eyes and see clearly. This is the carriage of the Marquis Ningyuan Mansion. Our girl is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Ningyuan. I think you are desperate to rob our carriage!" Hua Ying stepped out of the carriage and said, He scolded loudly.
Scarface was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "So what if you are from Ningyuan Houfu? I will kill you and wander around the world. We horse thieves have lived on horseback all our lives. Who can find us?" Got us!"
Xu Qingmo listened, stood up, opened the curtain, and walked out slowly: "Since you are all going to kill me, can I ask, who gave you the money to kill me?"
Scarface looked at Xu Qingmo and saw her calm face. He couldn't help laughing and said: "She is indeed a girl from the Hou family. If she were a girl from another family, she would be so scared that she would call her grandpa!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the scarred face coldly and took the long sword handed over by Hua Ying: "I am good at using whips, and I usually practice spears. Do you know why I am carrying a sword today?"
"Little girl, stop struggling, I can still give you a good time like this!" Scarface said coldly, not taking Xu Qingmo seriously at all.
"Come on!" Xu Qingmo sneered.
"Sister Huaying, get in the car, leave this to us!" Qu Lian said as she pushed Huaying into the car.
At this time, Huaying didn't say much, and quickly got into the car, hiding safely in the car.
Scarface was angry and rushed forward: "Damn girl, if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined!"
Xu Qingmo stepped forward with his sword in hand. The sword in his hand weighed fifty kilograms, but in her hand, it seemed weightless and she could swing it easily.
After several rounds, Scarface was retreating steadily. Xu Qingmo couldn't help but sneer: "You are all killing weaklings, but I am killing you trash scum who don't know how to live or die!"
Scarface was enraged and slashed with all his strength. Xu Qingmo looked on coldly, feeling more and more ridiculous. These horse thieves in front of him were just bullying the weak by relying on their strength and strength!
As far as the scarred face in front of me is concerned, his steps are frivolous and there is no real effort at all: "If I were you, I would already regret it now, why did I take this order!"
"Who are you?" Scar's face was filled with ferocious eyes.
"Daughter of the Xu family, Xu Qingmo!" Xu Qingmo flipped and turned back with a carbine. The sword was not as good as a spear, but it was enough to pierce Scarface's heart. "Leave no one behind!"
