Chapter 38 The Artificial First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts 9

The scene of pulling and tugging lasted for a while before stopping when Xu Yushu gave in. Qingyu clearly saw that the smile on Li Mingbao's lips vanished in an instant.

Just as things were about to finish, and the effects of the sleeping potion in Qingyu's body were slowly wearing off, she had just gotten out of bed when she heard a maid coming to the door.

"How is the young mistress? The princess sent me to inquire. If possible, please come with me to the main courtyard. The princess is truly worried about you."

The maid's words made Qingyu's eyes light up; she didn't want to stay with Li Mingbao any longer.

However, the next second, Li Mingbao quietly arrived and said, "I'll go with you."

Then he opened the door and saw Qingyu standing there. He didn't look surprised. He smiled and reached out his hand, "Qingyu, come here."

Qingyu: "..." What's with this act of us being so familiar?

Qingyu's eyes widened, her lips pursed, and she walked straight past Li Mingbao toward the maid.

"I'm also worried about the princess. Let's go."

The maid's gaze darted back and forth between Li Mingbao and Qingyu before she finally lowered her head and led Qingyu away.

Behind him, Li Mingbao's smile vanished completely; his head was slightly lowered, and his expression was unreadable.

The incident at the princess's banquet quickly reached the authorities. As soon as the banquet ended, Princess Chaoyang arranged for Qingyu to be sent home, and many more people flocked to the princess's residence again.

Qingyu lifted the curtain and saw Li Mingbao get into a carriage, heading in that direction...

It doesn't seem to be the Li family.

Suppressing her doubts, Qingyu closed her eyes slightly and began to recall everything in the story. In the end, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten someone.

If there's a female lead and a male lead, then there must be a male supporting character. In this world, the male supporting character's identity becomes truly extraordinary later on. Qingyu thought of Li Mingbao's revenge plan and instantly understood.

"It seems they've been making quite a move lately..." Qingyu murmured to herself, a hint of excitement in her eyes.

At the banquet today, the matter of the assassin and the scheme against Xu Yushu... Qingyu intuitively felt that both things were related to Li Mingbao. If nothing unexpected happened, the male supporting character would probably play a role soon.

Thinking this, the carriage was suddenly stopped, and the already swaying carriage shook violently, causing Qingyu to sway all over...

She frowned slightly, about to ask a question, when she heard a familiar voice outside.

"Qingyu, come back with me." Xu Yushu's voice was gentle, but a hint of annoyance could still be heard.

Does this sound like something said reluctantly?

Qingyu never indulged anyone. Besides, Gu's mother was still ill, and she could only operate better if she stayed at the Gu residence. She immediately sneered, "What right do you have to ask me to go back with you?"

According to worldly customs, Xu Yushu is Qingyu's father-in-law in name, but he is actually quite young and has a stubborn temper. Qingyu is naturally spoiled and pampered, and has never looked down on the attitude of such people, nor has she ever compromised.

They naturally wouldn't be polite in their speech.

Xu Yushu hadn't expected this answer. Even though he had mentally prepared himself to be tolerant of this "junior," so much had happened today. He had only learned by chance that Qingyu was also at the banquet, and he thought that if he said something nice, the two could reconcile...

Which one would you get?

Xu Yushu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but the voice seemed to possess a magical power, and subconsciously, ripples stirred within him...

Realizing what had happened, Xu Yushu felt extremely awkward. He coughed and said calmly, "I know you're still angry with me, but it's all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Qingyu interrupted him. "What happens between Xu Qi and me is a matter between husband and wife. Father is interfering too much. I'm afraid he's not satisfied with me as his daughter-in-law."

"No... I'm not satisfied with you." Xu Yushu suddenly found the word "father" extremely jarring. Come to think of it, he wasn't much older than Qingyu...

He was only a teenager...

Xu Yushu's expression darkened further.

"No? I don't believe you." Qingyu found it laughable. "Then why are you here now? Don't tell me you're here to persuade me to go back empty-handed?"

Xu Yushu was taken aback, then remembered that nowadays, if a woman wanted to avoid losing face when returning to her parents' home, her husband's family was required to bring gifts to pick her up.

He was indeed empty-handed today for the sake of convenience.

Xu Yushu sighed and said seriously, "Of course not. I really want you to go home. I left in a hurry today, and the gifts will be sent to the Gu residence later."

Hearing the promise, Qingyu was finally a little satisfied. She was still thinking about dividing it up when she suddenly felt the carriage shake again, and then a knife slashed straight in...

Screams erupted outside. Qingyu, still shaken, peeked through the curtains and saw Xu Yushu draw his sword and engage in combat with the assassin.

The black-clad assassins were numerous and their moves were ruthless, clearly indicating they had come prepared. Qingyu watched coldly, and subconsciously thought of Li Mingbao.

The scene was already chaotic. Qingyu understood that these assassins were most likely after her. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly lifted the carriage curtain.

Seeing that the coachman and maid had already fallen to the ground, she hardened her heart, pulled out the jade hairpin from her hair, and stabbed it hard into the horse's back.

The horse, in pain, neighed and instantly reared up, ready to charge forward.

The sound startled everyone, including Xu Yushu, who instinctively looked over and his pupils constricted in disbelief as he stared at the person in the carriage…

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, the strands dancing in the wind, seemingly exuding a captivating fragrance.

Her skin was as white as snow, and a pair of bright eyes were set in her fair face. As the horse bounced, her eyes revealed a trace of fear and helplessness, which made people's hearts tighten.

Her red lips parted slightly, as if she were calling out something, but the sound was drowned out by the wind.

Although her body was swaying with the bumps of the carriage, it felt as if time had frozen at that moment, and that glance was like a blooming flower swaying gracefully in the wind.

Everyone was stunned. By the time they reacted, the carriage had already sped away. Xu Yushu's pupils dilated, and his face turned pale. He immediately got up to chase after it.

Although he was highly skilled, there were many assassins, and he could not escape for a while.

Just then, Xu Yushu's soldiers arrived in time and quickly joined the battle, assisting Xu Yushu in fighting the assassins.

The team was well-trained and coordinated perfectly, quickly turning the tide of the battle.

Xu Yushu had no time to deal with the aftermath; at that moment, his mind and eyes were filled only with the person he had just seen for eternity.

The thought of the other person getting hurt made his heart ache terribly.

However, as he chased after her, he discovered that Qingyu's carriage had vanished without a trace, and the carriage's tracks had mysteriously disappeared on a certain stretch of road!

Xu Yushu instantly understood that Qingyu must have been taken away by other assassins.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath, clenching his teeth and his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.

No! We must find them!

We can't let her get hurt!

"Men, begin the search immediately!"

--------------

Qingyu truly hadn't expected the male supporting character to make his appearance in this way.

Wasn't the male supporting character, Yin Han, supposed to be a weak and scholarly man?

This person can charge onto a crazed horse with their bare hands and control it to run away; how can they be weak?

Qingyu felt that she was more vulnerable now!

"Who...who are you?" Qingyu asked in a trembling voice, like a frightened little animal, her watery eyes staring warily at the person in front of her.

In reality, she was already reviewing all of Yin Han's information in her mind.
