Chapter 6 Calculation

Su Fei knew that she couldn't drag on any longer, so she began to calculate her options.

She had three poisonous golden hairpins on her head, and hidden in her sleeves were concealed weapons with ten poisoned needles. She could barely take down about ten people, and she could ride a horse. If something really happened, she could escape. However, this was only a last resort. If she escaped, she was afraid she would have to live a life of wandering and hardship.

Just as she was thinking, the sound of horse hooves approached.

Xiaochun exclaimed, "Could it be Young Master Lin coming?"

Su Fei also turned around in excitement, but the group of men in black clothes with stern faces riding horses from a distance were not Young Master Lin. The leader had sharp, cold eyes like an eagle, handsome features, but his lips were always coldly pursed.

"It's not Young Master Lin..." Xiaochun sounded disappointed, but Su Fei couldn't care about that much and hurriedly stepped forward, opening her arms to stand in the middle of the path.

Seeing this, the leader urgently pulled the reins, but his attendants behind him scolded, "Where did this reckless woman come from? Doesn't she value her life?"

Su Fei gritted her teeth slightly, trembling as she looked at the leader and said, "Sir, our carriage is broken. If we don't leave soon, we might freeze to death here once night falls..."

As soon as she spoke, the leader was astonished. It turned out to be the little maid from last night. Wasn't she still accompanied by her fiancé?

"This has nothing to do with my master. Move aside!" the attendant behind him said sternly.

The old woman also hurried over and, seeing the leader, immediately knelt down and said, "This servant pays respects to the Fourth Prince!"

Everyone paid their respects, and Su Fei was slightly puzzled. The Fourth Prince?

Just as she looked up, Xiao Pei coldly glanced at her and then looked at the old woman, "Is the carriage broken?"

The old woman nervously sweated, "Yes... but our servant has gone to buy the parts. He will be back soon, so it won't delay the Fourth Prince's journey. Please, come with us." After speaking, she went to pull Su Fei.

Su Fei had already remembered that this voice belonged to the man from last night, but she pretended not to recognize him. She had to go back with the Fourth Prince. She had heard about the Fourth Prince's iron-fisted methods. The old woman would definitely not dare to do anything halfway, and when they arrived in the capital, she could make other arrangements.

"Fourth Prince, Fei'er really can't bear this cold wind, and I also heard occasional wolf howls around us..." Su Fei's voice trembled, "I've heard that the Fourth Prince is benevolent and loves the people. I dare to ask the Fourth Prince to help us. Otherwise, we will be left to die in the wilderness. If you are willing to take us back, my grandmother will surely thank you."

"Enough." Xiao Pei coldly interrupted her words. Just as Su Fei thought he was going to leave her to die, Xiao Pei raised his hand indifferently, and an attendant went to the broken carriage. The old woman couldn't help but clench her teeth and exchanged a glance with the people behind her, closing her mouth tightly.

The old woman hadn't really broken the carriage; she had just made some small adjustments. So the group soon set off.

The distance to the capital was not far, and Xiao Pei did not show any concern for Su Fei being a weak woman. Without delay, they headed straight for the capital. Therefore, the next afternoon, the group arrived at a small town outside the capital.

The old woman had intended to take her leave here and leave with Su Fei, but unexpectedly, Xiao Pei did not agree.
