The carriage started to move.
Song Jinyin was trapped in the carriage.
Next to her is Xiuxiu who was knocked unconscious by the medicinal powder, and in front of her is a man approaching with malicious intentions.
Waves of white smoke floated out of the small incense burner in the carriage, mixed with the lingering powdery smell, which was strong and pungent.
Song Jinyin's face turned pale and her stomach felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I asked her to find a way to bring the girl, but I didn't expect that she was frightened into being like this. I will take the girl to Qian Lai Inn to sit down, and then let the doctor take a closer look."
The man smiled evilly, passed directly over the fainted person, and approached Song Jinyin while talking.
While speaking, he reached out his hand and tried to pinch her chin.
"The beauty looks like this, it really makes my heartache... I heard that the beauty has no relatives in Luo City and life is difficult, so you might as well follow me and save yourself from going to Lao Shizi's embroidery workshop every day to work All that hard work.”
After a pause, the man spoke with arrogance again, and said with a chuckle: "The money in my young master's family, I am afraid that the girl will not be able to see a corner of it even if she works for a lifetime."
Song Jinyin's hand hanging on one side was still holding the newly drawn handkerchief, with a little bit of white powder from the freshly sprinkled ecstasy on it.
But she didn't intend to push it out, but coughed violently after avoiding the man's move to touch her.
The face that was already showing weakness turned a bit paler.
The bloodless thin lips were dyed bright red at this moment, which was so shocking that people subconsciously ignored the delicacy brought out by the bright color.
"It is a blessing for a common girl to be valued by the young master, but the young master may not know that a common girl almost became the concubine of a wealthy family in the capital city."
Song Jinyin's voice was weak, and her appearance at the moment made the man in front of her hesitate and stop moving towards her.
Although he is not afraid of causing trouble in Luo City, if a girl is carried out in the carriage, his family may not let him live a good life.
Therefore, even though Xiuxiu looked annoying, he had no intention of throwing her out for the time being.
But before he could think about it, the shivering girl continued to speak.
"But one day later, it was like today. The common girl's body was exposed to old illnesses due to the cold. The doctor was helpless and asked the nobles to stay away, fearing that... the nobles would be scared away and those who entered the house would not be able to do anything. Things never settled again, ahem... Later, the civilian girl had nowhere to go, so she took the scraps of silver she had saved over the year and wanted to go south to find a warm place to recuperate. "
"So Xiuxiu told me that when a noble person takes a fancy to me, I also ask her to tell the noble person about my body... If you don't believe me, you can invite the doctor to take a look."
"Although a commoner's daughter is not stunningly beautiful, if it weren't for her body, she would still be a concubine. Moreover, a commoner's daughter is quite familiar with the city of Kyoto. If the young master has any doubts, he can investigate at will. Ahem... ..."
Song Jinyin coughed harder and harder, and her almond-shaped eyes looked more pitiful due to the tears forced out of her eyes.
But even so, she still managed to finish her words, "If the young master really doesn't care about the daughter of the people, the daughter of the people is also willing to stay by the young master's side and stop running all the way..."
The man in front became more and more gloomy as he listened.
He glanced viciously at the man who was still sleeping in the carriage, and for a moment he had no intention of moving forward and stopped where he was.
He didn't quite believe Song Ci's words at first.
Just watching her talk so hard that she was on the verge of tears. Every time she coughed, the corners of her lips were stained with blood, making the smell of rust in the carriage even stronger.
His suspicion was somewhat reduced.
Regardless of whether she has a chronic illness or not, her appearance and body are indeed not much better.
Especially when she talked about asking for a doctor, there was no dodge on her face, and her eyes only showed despair, which made her look even more unlucky.
The man seemed to have been poured cold water on him at this moment. He had no interest at all and was only filled with anger.
He said that Xiuxiu was so eager to let him take her in because of the jealousy among women, so he followed suit, thinking that if he became interested, he would take in both girls.
But now that I think about it, Xiuxiu's failure to report the knowledge was obviously a trick on him!
Although the Yi family is not a high-ranking official residence, it holds the money and lifeblood of Luo City in its hands, and everyone who looks at it will nod and bow respectfully.
Now that he was tricked by a stinky girl, how could he hold his head high in Luo City?
The man was so angry that he had no intention of talking to Song Jinyin for a moment.
It’s just that anger always has to find a place to dissipate.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiuxiu, who had her eyes closed.
...
Pei Yanzhou was not far from the embroidery workshop.
After receiving the news from Cang Lin, he pulled the horse from Xuanwei's hand, feeling astonishingly cold all over his body.
The horse was passing through the long street, and when he saw the distant carriage parked near Qian Lai Inn, he also pulled up the reins, turned over and dismounted.
The man's black eyes were full of anger, his face was cold and solemn, and his skills were neat, attracting many appreciative glances.
But he couldn't tolerate anyone in his eyes, only the carriage and Song Jinyin who was kidnapped on the carriage.
But before Pei Yanzhou could walk a few steps, he saw the carriage move.
Then the car curtain was opened, and Song Jinyin poked her head out.
The next moment, she carefully landed from the carriage and tightened her cloak tightly, covering half of her face.
Pei Yanzhou's hanging heart finally returned to its original position, and the buzzing in his ears completely subsided. Only the hands in his sleeves still trembled slightly, showing his fear.
"Go and receive your punishment yourself."
He stared closely at the little girl in front of him, and did not turn his head when he spoke, but his words were filled with a cold light, which made Cang Lin and the other two Xuanwei's hearts sink, and they all bowed their heads in acceptance.
"I didn't let him keep up. If you want to punish me, you can always find my fault."
The man was so eye-catching that Song Jinyin naturally saw him.
She just wanted to walk directly past him, but it was obvious that he was too powerful and wanted to blame Cang Lin, so Song Jinyin had no choice but to stop and meet his gaze.
"It was me who forced him to leave. I didn't want any help from you, Pei Yanzhou."
Song Jinyin's tone was light, with a hint of clarification in her words, but her eyes seemed to be trying to stay calm.
After getting off the carriage, she was still frightened until now.
But fortunately, that man should have no interest in her anymore.
But Pei Yanzhou seemed to be unable to hear any sound.
He saw her blood-stained lips clearly, and the suppressed anger emerged again. Regardless of Song Jinyin's objection, he went up to pick her up and carried her into the inn.
"Pei Yanzhou!"
"Don't move, see the doctor first."
Song Jinyin was shocked by his movements and couldn't get away. Seeing someone looking at her again, she had to cover her face with a cloak.
"This is not my blood, let me go! You said you wouldn't force me, you..."
"But I also said that if anything happens, I'll look for Cang Rin."
The man spoke again, and his cold breath was like the one in the former Zhuya Courtyard, forcing Song Jinyin to stop talking.
She knew very well that the man in front of her was angry and it would be useless to talk.
But she thought Pei Yanzhou should also know that it was impossible for her to go looking for Cang Lin.
And today's trip was a carriage she was pushed into deliberately following Xiu Xiu's wishes.
If you don't let that person completely stop thinking about it, even if you escape this time, there will always be a next time.
And Cang Lin belongs to Pei Yanzhou, so he can't be by her side all the time, and she doesn't want to have too much involvement with people from the Duke's Mansion.
When Kurin returns to Kyoto City, that person will hold a grudge and look for an opportunity to target her again. Then she will only die, and she will only be in more danger than being targeted now.
Song Jinyin figured it out.
There must be many women around such a pleasure-seeking young man. He would never put himself in danger just to taste a woman. He must also cherish his life very much and not have much patience.
Although this is dangerous for her, she won't be able to escape unless she gives it a try.
As for Xiuxiu...
Song Jinyin calmed down and looked clear, but her eyes were a little colder.
The fact that Xiu Xiu dared to push her in front of that person and was not afraid that she would come back to retaliate after gaining power was enough to show that Xiu Xiu knew that person's temperament.
He also knew that she wouldn't be able to stay in that person's hands for long, and might even have to die.
But she still plotted against her so cruelly, leaving no way for her to survive.
Thinking about it this way, although she didn't want to harm anyone, facing Xiuxiu, any pity was like a sharp arrow piercing her. If she didn't return it, she would just say she deserved it.
Song Jinyin's heart was covered every inch with cruelty.
She didn't stare at Xiuxiu's life, but she wanted her to reap the consequences and have a taste of her own plans.
...
Pei Yanzhou carried her into the big house that he had spent money on temporarily, and brushed away the cloak that covered her face.
The warmth inside rushed to her face, making Song Jinyin's face suddenly turn red.
The bed was covered with a thick layer of soft mattress, and you could vaguely smell a comfortable woody fragrance when you breathed.
The man put her down, then squatted down, ready to reach out to touch her water-stained shoes.
"what you do?"
Song Jinyin suddenly retracted her feet and stepped back until she could no longer move.
"I said, I won't force you anymore, you can do whatever you want."
Pei Yanzhou saw her dodge, but still reached out to hold her ankles and took off her shoes and socks for her.
The ankles were cold and looked even whiter in the man's hands.
After a long time, Pei Yanzhou spoke again, with a low voice and a tone that could not be rejected.
"But I want to stay by your side."
The rough fingertips lightly traced Song Jinyin's delicate insteps. Compared with the scarred hands, her feet were white, tender, round and cute.
In the past, when he was in Zhuyayuan, Pei Yanzhou had seen the way her bare feet touched the ground, which made people miss her and never forget her for a long time.
But today, with restraint, he put her feet back into the quilt.
"You live your life from now on, and I will protect my people."
The words sounded clear, but upon closer inspection, the man's tone trembled slightly for a moment, and then he retracted his hand and moved unconsciously in his sleeve.
Terrified by her refusal again, Pei Yanzhou stood up and spoke again quickly.
"See the doctor first. Your shoes and socks are wet. I'll have someone change them for you."
