The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 106. Decisive Survival Escape

At the critical moment, Ning Xueyan grabbed the half-open door with her hand. She pulled her body forward with all her strength. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself at the last moment.

At this time, Qingyu also freed one hand to pull Ning Xueyan's hard into the carriage so that the latter, who had half of her body thrown outside, could return when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Young Lady, what... what happened?" Qingyu was still in shock. She held Ning Xueyan's hands tightly and asked in a panic.

They had walked along this road several times before. Regarding the time, they should be on the road leading to Cold Mountain Temple. Since there were more people going to the temple for incense, the road up to the mountain was relatively large, and no accident should happen normally. However, when Ning Xueyan was thrown out of the carriage just now, she saw her carriage bumping into a tree on the wayside. The carter must have fainted, sitting on the shaft. Ning Xueyan didn't know if he was dead or alive, but in a flash, she saw two men outside, who looked very suspicious.

Judging from their clothes, they didn't seem to belong to a decent family.

"There's someone outside." Cold sweat appeared on Ning Xueyan's forehead. She pinched Qingyu's hand as she bit her lower lip. At this time, she couldn't be chaotic. Although she had two carriages with her, after hers had run for a while, they must have deviated from the original road. There were two older female servants sitting in the second carriage, but they might not catch up with them.

Qingyu and Ning Xueyan were both vulnerable, and the only male was the carter, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The situation in front of her was extremely dangerous. Her horses were startled and her carriage was smashed for no reason. What's more, some strange men were watching her. It seemed that something wrong was happening.

Before she could say anything, she heard the sound of footsteps. She took Qingyu's hand and dragged her down to lay down in the carriage as if she had been knocked unconscious. Qingyu was not stupid. When she received Ning Xueyan's hint, even though she was in a panic, she immediately lay down next to Ning Xueyan and rested half of her body on Ning Xueyan's, covering most of her body.

"How are they? Are they dead?" A hand reached out and opened the door. A man with fair skin stood at the door, with his chest half-revealed. He looked like a ruffian, like one of the most common ruffians on the street.

"Not dead, I think." Another voice sounding cleverer came from behind him. It was a short man with a sharp mouth who was dressed the same as the former one. He looked like a rogue who was wearing the words "I am a bad person" on his face. Looking from his point of view, he could only see Qingyu's face. Ning Xueyan was pressed down by Qingyu, so her face could not be seen clearly.

When Ning Xueyan fell down, she covered her face with half of her sleeve. Looking from the outside, they could only see a long sleeve and her beautiful hair. The inside was dark, so it was not clear when they looked into the carriage under the sun.

"Do you want to kill them now?" The taller one looked at Qingyu and touched her face with his hand. He said with a lecherous smile, "She's quite beautiful. It's a pity for her to die in this way."

"Why a pity? The people behind are coming soon. It will be troublesome if we are seen by others. We'd better hurry up and get them out of there so that we can get the money, and not be discovered by others." The shorter guy impatiently pushed the tall man's hand away and looked at the road behind him as he spoke.

The purpose of their action today was to kill the people inside. If others found out that the two women did not die in the accident, the two rogues would be in real trouble. The man who ordered them had said that if they were discovered, no one could protect them.
