Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

At the boundless snowy night, a strong wind swept through with a blizzard.

A group of black-clothed assassinators wearing black masks were fighting with the people in the convoy. People screamed, but their voices were diminished by the sound of the wind and snow.

In the middle of the killing circle was a magnificent carriage. Inside the carriage, Wei Yuewu and her maid were stunned by what had happened.

The two of them looked out of the window and saw a person from afar. He was sitting on a horse outside the killing circle and staring coldly at everything in front of him. His black cloak was fluttering in the snow. The viciousness in his eyes lingered in Wei Yuewu's mind for a long time.

The wind blew, and the veil suddenly fell down, revealing a handsome face!

Qin Ruo exclaimed in a low voice, "Miss, that's ... that's ..."

"Who is he!? Do you know him?" Wei Yuewu's heart froze instantly.

"Miss, that's your fiancé Marquis Jing Yuan!" Qin Ruo said with a cry, "A few years ago, when Old Madam sent me to the capital to get a doctor, I visited the family mansion to pay my respects to your Father. That was the first time I saw this Marquis Jing Yuan! And other maids in the mansion told me, they said that... that this is your fiancé! "

My... fiancé?

The fight outside the carriage was coming to an end. In the blink of an eye, there were no signs of living people ...

Suddenly, two frightened horses ran quickly with the blood-stained broken carriage. No one dared to stop the carriage. The startled horses quickly disappeared in the snow with the carriage.

"Kill!"

With a command, the black-clothed men quickly chased after the horse and carriage!

Wei Yuewu firmly held a silver hairpin with blood on the tip, which she had just used to stab the horse.

"Miss, what should we do?" Qin Ruo asked while crying.

"Stop crying! We're not dead yet!"

Wei Yuewu's drooped eyes flashed with a cold and serious look.

How come... had she encountered such a deadly robbery?

This time, she had received a letter from her grandmother who lived in the capital. As the daughter born by the wife of Marquis Hua Yang, she had been raised up in her maternal grandfather's family. She packed up her clothes and embarked on the journey to the capital, which she hadn't seen for many years.

However, when they were passing through the mountain forest, they ran into a group of robbers. The attendants who were escorting them to the capital were all killed. If she hadn't used the silver hairpin to stab the horses, she would have been dead now.

The carriage was moving too fast. Wei Yuewu looked out from the bumpy carriage and saw nothing but snow and trees.

"Hurry up, let's jump!"

After making up her mind, she firmly ordered the maid and quickly took off her loose coat.

The wind and snow outside were too heavy. They should wear enough clothes to keep warm, but the clothes were too plump, and wearing them would only make their escape more difficult.

Seeing that Wei Yuewu was calm and determined, her maid Qin Ruo calmed down.

Wei Yuewu had already taken off her coat and pushed open the door. Wind and snow were immediately blown into the carriage, making them unable to open their eyes!

Wei Yuewu turned around to ask Qin Ruo to jump off, but she saw Qin Ruo holding the clothes that she had just taken off in a daze.

"Qin Ruo! What are you doing! Jump with me..."

She reached out to grab Qin Ruo's hands, but was pushed away!

"Miss! It's you that those men in black wanted to kill! If they didn't get you, they wouldn't stop. "

Qin Ruo knelt in the carriage and kowtowed to Wei Yuewu, crying, "I had been your maid when I was a little girl. I'm sorry that I would not be able to serve you any longer. Please take care of yourself!"

After saying that, she pushed Wei Yuewu off the carriage!

Qin Ruo quickly put on the clothes of Wei Yuewu, clutching the silver hairpin she left and sitting steadily in the bumpy carriage....

Wei Yuewu fell from the galloping carriage and landed heavily on the snow-covered ground. When she looked up, she could no longer find any sign of the carriage.

Wei Yuewu's heart sank as she instantaneously figured out Qin Ruo's intention!

That silly girl!

She had disguised herself as Wei Yuewu, determined to die for her!

"Qin Ruo..." Wei Yuewu bit her lips tightly. A wave of pain surged in her heart, and she almost became unconscious with a sudden blackout....

But crisis was imminent, leaving no time for her to be indulged in her sadness at this moment. She struggled up from the ground, shielding herself from the blizzard and trudging towards the most densely wooded area.

The wooded area must be away from the road. As the carriage couldn't pass through the dense forest, it had to go along the road, and the black-clothed men would chase along the road. If she was far away from the road, she could definitely be safe from them.

The wind and snow were so strong that Wei Yuewu was unable to open her eyes. Suddengly, she missed her step, fell down, and rolled directly to a snow-covered cliff!

Although the cliff was covered with thick snow, but wearing thin clothes, she still got scratched by protruding stones and withered branches.

When she finally stopped rolling down, she was wounded all over her body, even finding difficulty in standing up.

She was now down the cliff, and the black-clothed men would not be able to catch up for a while, but Wei Yuewu dared not delay any bit. She quickly bandaged her bleeding calves, and then limped to the north as fast as she could!

A carriage was moving in the snow, pulled by eight snow-white horses with sleek fur that looked all the more magnificent in their galloping. The spacious carriage had a top decorated with jade; its walls were made up of unknown materials, and there were thick warm fur inside, which made the interior look gorgeous and snug.

As the carriage moved forward, the beads on its two sides dangled, sending out crisp and pleasant sound.

Behind the carriage were twenty fine dark horses divided into two rows, forming a line of defense for the carriage. Every guard on the horseback had a robust physique with a sword hanging at their waist. They emitted an atmosphere of coldness and cruelty as they rode on and kept on watch. One could figure out at first sight that their hands were stained with blood and they had killed people.

Now there were narrow valleys on both sides. The carriage slowed down, and the guards were on full alert and observed both sides with greater vigilance.

Just then, a person whose appearance was unrecognizable rushed out and stopped the carriage in the middle of the road

The guards were well-trained and quickly responded, ready for attack using their swords!

"Wait."

A soft, elegant, and stately voice was heard from inside the carriage. Anyone who heard it felt like being touched by a pleasant spring breeze.

"You go and see what's going on..."

One of the attendants immediately came forward and reported, "Your Highness, it's an eleven-or-twelve-year-old girl."

A moment ago, when Wei Yuewu saw the carriage approaching, she mustered all her remaining strength to rush into the procession. Now she was totally exhausted and had pain all over her body, and it was difficult for her even to open her eyes.

"Give her some money and move on."

The clear voice was as leisurely as if its owner had not been disturbed at all by the sudden pause of the carriage due to the incident.

Wei Yuewu's face was black and blue. She fell to the ground unconscious as soon as she struggled to announce "I am the daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. I was robbed. Please help me."

Hearing that, the attendant asked the master, "Your Highness, what shall we d ..."

Marquis Hua Yang was His Majesty's most valued general, who was sent to guard the border. His garrison stood opposite to the Yan State at a distance.

"Ask her what had happened."

The voice was as calm as ever.

"Your Highness, she had fainted."

After a moment's silence, the man in the carriage said slowly, "Take her into the carriage!"

The carriage was very spacious. It was covered with thick fur, and a charcoal basin was burning under the partition board. When the bead curtain was lifted, warmth could be instantly sensed by one's face. The exquisite incense balls on the table diffused warmth and elegant fragrance, giving a very pleasant feeling.

In the innermost section of the carriage, there was a soft couch, against which a handsome young man clad in snowwhite clothes was leaning. He had a clear and elegant air all over, like an immortal decended from heaven.

Now his sight was focused on Wei Yuewu's face that had turned blue with cold.

The blood on Wei Yuewu's forehead had dried up, leaving streaks of blood stains.

At this point, she had regained consciousness. There was vigilance in her clear eyes.

The elegant and handsome young man withdrew his sight from Wei Yuewu's face and set on his book. He ordered his entourage with a casual tone: "Move faster. We will have a rest in the town ahead."

The carriage accelerated following a positive reply from outside the curtain of the carriage. Wei Yuewu finally breathed a breath of relief: she would be able to ask him to find a doctor and get some medicine once in town.

In the warmness of the carriage, she fell half unconscious again.

After checking in at the inn, the young man sent for a doctor, who prescribed medicine and cleaned up the wound on her forehead.

She remained asleep all along because of the heavy injury.

In the room next door, the young man, casually dressed in a loose robe, was leaning against the couch and listening to his guard's report.

"Mo Huating, the Marquis Jing Yuan, is also in this town?" he asked casually, raising his eyes which shined like stars. There was a faint smile on his face.

According to his intelligence, Mo Huating is a special character.

The guard knelt on the ground respectfully, bowing his head as he replied: "Yes, I heard that he had come to pick up his fiancée, the daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. But it is rumored that the girl was killed last night, nailed to her carriage by a sword. None of her entourage survived!"

"The daughter of Marquis Hua Yang?"

He contemplated for a while, and then a hint of casual and comfortable smile emerged on his jade-like face, which gave a leisurely feeling like the white cloud in the sky.

"That being the case, go collect information about this girl too." he said in a somewhat casual tone, his eyes were brighter slightly under the long eyelashes.

He knew the marquis had a daughter but never took the matter to heart, nor had he sent anyone to investigate her. He never thought this thin little girl would actually appear in front of him in such an unusual way.

They must have been fated to meet!

It was already on the next morning when Wei Yuewu opened her eyes.

Wei Yuewu had a sound physical constitution, and she felt much better after taking the medicine and sleeping in a warm room.

Hardly had she woken up when she asked the guards about the situation. She then got up with difficulty to see and thank her lifesaver.

She combed her hair and put on the coarse clothes prepared for her by the innkeeper's wife. Her face was sallow and looked rather pale and feeble, coupled with her drooping bangs and thin stature, which made her extremely inconspicuous. However, she had refined features when looked closely.

Behind a screen, the young man was reading a book.

He was not surprised at the sight of her, and a trace of smile flashed in his dark eyes. Pointing to a stool near him, he gestured for her to sit down.

"Sir, I'm so obliged to your saving me," said Wei Yuewu, respectfully expressing her gratitude by kneeling on the ground instead of taking a seat.

After Wei Yuewu was seated, the young man said smilingly: "You are the daughter of Marquis Hua Yang!"

His tone was affirmative rather than inquiring.

"Yes, I am." Wei Yuewu paused, stared at him and said.

"Marquis Hua Yang's daughter lost her mother in her early age. When she was only six years old, she was raised by her grandparents, who lived in a remote area. It was said that the girl was not only plain-looking, but also lacked talent. But she was betrothed to the young and promising Marquis Jing Yuan early because their mothers were close friends. The public, therefore, thought that Marquis Hua Yang's daughter was not a perfect match for the Marquis. And yet this time Marquis Jing Yuan had come all the way to pick up his fiancée...."

The magnetic voice prompted Wei to clench her fists that were covered in her sleeves as she heard him spoke out the words with a faint sense of pity.

So it was really Mo Huating who tried to take her life last night.

"Do you want to know why he has done so?"
