After the two servants roughly pushed Mu Jin onto the carriage, they drove the carriage away from Prince Yun's Mansion at full speed.

Mu Jin knelt all night without eating. Not long ago, he had an excessive argument with the servants because he wanted to see Su Yuntian. After being thrown onto the horse by the servants, he fainted due to severe exhaustion.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Jin was awakened by the bumpy carriage.

"Qing'er, water~" Mu Jin licked his lips with dry mouth and made a weak sound.

She opened her eyes slightly. It was pitch black inside the carriage. She didn't know how long she had been unconscious, nor how long the carriage had been driving. She raised her hand and touched her forehead, and found that she had a high fever.

At this time, the two servants driving the carriage outside did not notice that Mu Jin had woken up and were still chatting with each other.

One of the servants said, "I say, the old butler is really cruel. He asked us to find a cliff and throw the princess and the carriage off together, without anyone noticing."

"That can't be helped. Why offend Miss Cousin? Everyone knows that the housekeeper used to be from Miss Cousin's family. The housekeeper protects Miss Cousin like the apple of his eye."

When the Shen family was wiped out by bandits, only Guangfu ran away holding Shen Qianqian.

According to etiquette, Guangfu should have taken Shen Qianqian to the nearby Shen family to seek refuge, but Guangfu traveled thousands of miles with the infant Shen Qianqian to the capital to seek refuge with Shen Rong, the current virtuous concubine of the Dongyue Kingdom. At that time, Shen Rong was just one of the concubines in the palace.

It was only because Shen Rong had given birth to Su Yuntian at that time, and her status in the palace was relatively high.

She was heartbroken when she learned that her mother's family had been wiped out, and she took good care of the survivor Shen Qianqian, raising her as her daughter-in-law.

Shen Qianqian has loved following Su Yuntian since she was a child, so the relationship between the two cousins ​​is naturally deeper than that of ordinary people.

Guangfu has climbed up the ladder over the years, not only squeezing out the original steward of the palace, but also taking over the position of steward of Prince Yun's palace. I think it is not something that ordinary people can do.

The two servants were chattering outside the carriage and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who let that person in there get in the way of the prince and my cousin? I tell you, my cousin has been deflowered by the prince a long time ago, but he has been hiding it from the princess."

"What a pity, this guy inside only has good looks but is actually a fool."

At this time, a servant said in a tentative tone: "I said that this person inside is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Many powerful people in the capital coveted her. It would be a pity if she died like this. Why don't we two brothers have a good taste of this most beautiful woman in the capital before we die?"

When another servant heard this, he couldn't wait to let out an evil laugh.

"We have been driving the carriage all day and haven't eaten yet. After we pass this hill, we will find a place to eat something so that we can have more energy~~~."

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.

Hearing this, Mu Jin, who was lying in the carriage, shrank her body in fear, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, sobbing softly, and she couldn't help but resent everyone in Prince Yun's Mansion.

The insult I suffered today was only to allow Shen Qianqian to take the position of Princess Yun.

Mu Jin hated it! Her love for Su Yuntian for so many years was ultimately a waste! It turned out that she had been deceived by Su Yuntian and Shen Qianqian for so many years, but she had tried her best to please them. Today's situation was like a joke, which severely whipped her, and endless regret filled Mu Jin.

After a period of bumpy ride, the carriage slowly stopped.

Mu Jin closed her eyes in fear and tried her best to slow down her breathing. She told herself that she could not die and had to live to find her father and brother.

Two servants jumped off the carriage. One of them opened the curtain and took a look at Mu Jin lying in the carriage. Seeing that Mu Jin was still asleep, he lowered the curtain with relief.

"Hey, the one inside is still asleep, hurry up and get some food so that you can have the energy to serve the most beautiful woman in the capital."

Hearing the two servants' voices gradually fade away, Mu Jin moved her body to the side of the carriage with all her strength, put her ear against the wall and listened carefully to the movements outside. She used her hand to open a gap in the curtain and found that the two servants seemed to be looking for firewood in the woods in the distance.

Mu Jin held her breath and moved towards the side of the carriage with difficulty. Due to the long-term high fever and the lack of food or water, she accidentally fell off the carriage when she moved towards it.

When he was about to faint, Mu Jin bit the tip of his tongue hard to avoid fainting.

The nights turned colder as autumn approached. Mu Jin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wheel.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were dirty, and she was hungry, cold, and had a high fever, so she couldn't walk fast.

In the dim woods, she opened her bloodshot eyes wide and hard, with only one thought in her mind: she could not die and she had to find her father and brother.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the trembling in her body, and ran faster into the woods. She couldn't tell east, west, south, or north, and could only stumble in the same direction.

Soon, Mu Jin heard two servants chasing her. She panicked and hid in a bush nearby.

The two servants quickly caught up with her and stopped not far from where she was hiding. One of the servants said, "She can't run far with a high fever. She must be nearby."

At this time, a servant shouted loudly: "Princess, we know you are nearby. You'd better come out and we will make you die happily. If we catch you, you will definitely regret why you ran away."

As the two servants spoke, they burst into laughter, which was vulgar and obscene.

Mu Jin knew that these two servants would not let her go. After thinking for a moment, she stood up tremblingly.

"You let me go and escort me to the border to find my father. He is a great general and will ensure your prosperity for the rest of your life. Whatever silver the steward gives you, my father will return to you tenfold or a hundredfold."

One of the servants heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

Before Mu Jin could answer, another servant interrupted what she was about to say and scolded the servant.

"You are blinded by money and don't care about your life. If we treat her like this now, when she goes to the general, he will cut us into pieces. We can take the money but not spend it!"

After saying that, he showed a lewd smile: "Princess, don't waste time talking nonsense. You should serve us two brothers well tonight, and then you can go on your way. Don't come to us after you die. We are just following the arrangements of the butler. After you die, if you want to find someone to avenge yourself, just find the butler."

As they spoke, the two servants ran towards where Mu Jin was standing.

From the moment Shen Qianqian was inexplicably pushed into the water yesterday until now, Mu Jin has exhausted all her strength. She knows that she cannot escape tonight no matter what.

But she told herself that she must escape, otherwise she would only die in humiliation and bring shame to the entire general's mansion after her death.

Her father had told her at the beginning that Su Yuntian had a childhood sweetheart cousin who was born into the royal family. She was of a mean nature and was not a good match for him. Marrying into the royal family would easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.

But she insisted on her own way and refused to marry anyone but Su Yuntian.

She knew that her father and brother doted on her without limits because she had been without a mother since childhood, and they wanted to hold the moon in the sky in front of her.

At that time, she was blinded by love and only thought about herself. She did not care about the situation of her father and the entire general's mansion. In the end, she got what she wanted.

Sure enough, after she married Su Yuntian, the emperor issued an imperial decree to transfer her father and the entire Mu family army to guard the border, and they were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree.

She couldn't die in humiliation and bring shame to the General's Mansion, so she took a deep breath, turned around, and ran with her last bit of energy.

The dark night and the rugged mountain road made it impossible for her to see the road ahead. At this moment, her mind replayed the past 18 years of her life, her beautiful childhood, her heart-pounding girlhood, and her calculated and failed marriage.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet was empty, and Mu Jin's miserable cry came from the valley: "Daddy!"

Mu Jin slipped and fell off the cliff.
