Yang Yufei squatted down and felt around the assassin's body without any fear, trying to find useful evidence.

However, the masked man used an ordinary sword and the poison was also a common one, leaving no clues.

At this time, Zhou Yueran seemed to be awakened by the noise outside. She asked the maid to light the light, "Fei'er, are you outside? What happened?"

Yang Yufei quickly kicked the assassin's body into the darkness without any delay.

"Hanlu, deal with the body." She said in a low voice.

"Mom, it's okay. I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."

She pushed open the door and walked into the room without showing any sign of abnormality. She did not tell Zhou Yueran what happened outside, for fear that she would be frightened.

"Can't you sleep in a different place? Then come up and sleep with me. I'll comfort you and you won't be scared anymore."

Yang Yufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore, I'm not afraid."

"Are you really okay? Then why are you hanging out so late?"

"I took a nap, and then I couldn't fall asleep again when I woke up. Maybe I got sleepy after a while, and I fell asleep again. Mom, you continue to sleep, I won't disturb you."

Yang Yufei came out of Zhou Yueran's room and returned to her room next door.

It's almost dawn, so there shouldn't be a second group of assassins coming, right?

Although she thought so, she did not dare to be careless. She remained alert and protected Zhou Yueran in the dark.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any danger until dawn.

Yang Yufei accompanied Zhou Yueran to have breakfast at the Huguo Temple before returning to the capital in a carriage.

For safety reasons, Yang Yufei deliberately avoided the road she came from and took a longer but less remote route back.

However, they still encountered the bandits on a small hill that was not steep or remote.

Zhou Yueran brought only eight servants and guards with him.

There were more than a dozen bandits, holding sharp knives in their hands, and they surrounded them with ferocious looks.

"Kill them all and leave their belongings." The bearded man in the lead shouted angrily.

At the command, the thief rushed towards them quickly, raised the knife in his hand and started slashing.

A maid who had no martial arts skills screamed in fear and trembled while holding her head.

The guards and servants who were skilled in martial arts fought frantically with the bandits with all their might, not daring to be distracted or careless for the slightest.

Zhou Yueran pulled her daughter tightly behind her, and said, suppressing her inner fear, "Fei'er, don't be afraid. Mother won't let anything happen to you."

Yang Yufei was calmer than Zhou Yueran. She had been prepared for this. "Mother, these bandits are not after money, but our lives. I hope the guards of the Marquis' Mansion can do their best and not let those bandits succeed."

She hasn't taken action yet because she wants to know whether these bandits are coming for her or Zhou Yueran, so that she can better identify the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this moment, a thief broke through the heavy obstacles, broke through the carriage, and slashed at Zhou Yueran's neck.

The hidden weapon in Yang Yufei's hand flew out and pierced the thief's neck quickly, fiercely and accurately.

The poison killed the thief instantly, and his body lay on the carriage with his eyes open and blood gushing out of all his orifices, dyeing the carriage red.

Zhou Yueran was angry and scared, so she kicked the body out of the carriage and urged with a trembling voice, "Driver, run quickly and get out of the thieves' encirclement."

"Kill them—"

There were more and more thieves outside, and they surrounded their carriage. The guards and servants of Ningguo Marquis' Mansion were gradually unable to hold on.

The carriage they were riding in was about to overturn.

If this goes on, both her and her mother's lives will be in danger!

Yang Yufei stopped testing and took out the poison she had prepared before and sprinkled it towards the place where there were the most thieves.

Only painful wails were heard. The bandit who inhaled the poison suddenly felt severe pain all over his body. He dropped the sword in his hand and rolled on the ground in agony, wailing.

The bandits who had luckily escaped Yang Yufei's poison attack showed fear on their faces, and were alert all over, not daring to come forward again.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here—"

Yang Yufei shouted sternly.

She pulled the reins of the carriage with a sharp look in her eyes.

"Archers, get ready, shoot, kill them—" The leading thief was unwilling to let them go and launched a frenzied attack.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thief did not give Yang Yufei any time to react. He shot arrows loaded with poison, which flew towards the carriage like dense raindrops.

Yang Yufei snapped the bracelet on her wrist to launch a hidden weapon while driving the carriage in an attempt to break out of the encirclement.

A sharp arrow pierced the carriage and went straight into Zhou Yueran's heart. She immediately let out a howl of pain.

Bai Ling and Du Juan shouted in fear, "Miss, the lady has been shot by an arrow, and the arrow is poisonous. What should we do?"

Yang Yufei's heart suddenly trembled, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. "Take out the bottle of yellow medicine from my sachet and take out a pill for Madam to take."

She continued to drive forward desperately.

The bandits pursued them relentlessly, and the rain of arrows became more and more intense.

Too far away for her poison to work.

A surge of anger surged in Yang Yufei's heart. She was determined to kill all of these bastards.

Just as she was using her mind to open her portable space and send Zhou Yueran and several maids in to hide.

A cold and familiar voice sounded, "Kill all the thieves, and this prince will reward you handsomely—"

Yao Mingjin and his guards finally arrived and fought fiercely with the bandits who were trying to kill them.

He rushed to Yang Yufei's side as soon as possible.

"Fei'er, are you hurt? Are you okay?"

For some reason, when Yang Yufei saw him, she felt like crying.

"I'm fine, but my mother was shot by an arrow. I haven't checked her injuries yet, so I don't know if she's okay."

Yao Mingjin took the reins from her and stopped the carriage.

"Then go check on your mother-in-law first. I'll stay with you and won't let you get into any danger."

There was blood on Yang Yufei's face, which was left when she killed those thieves just now. She looked even colder and more aloof.

Yao Mingjin felt very distressed when he saw her like this.

"Then trouble you."

She entered the carriage and saw her mother who was almost fainting from the pain. Hatred surged in her heart.

"Mom, let me see where you are injured."

She undressed Zhou Yueran and saw the sharp arrow, which was less than an inch away from her heart. She felt even more heartbroken.

"Mom, bear with it. I'll take out the arrow and help you stop the bleeding."

Zhou Yueran's face was dark blue, and he exuded a breath of death.

"Fei'er, I feel that I don't have much time left, and I'm afraid I can't stay with you forever. I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have brought you to the Huguo Temple to burn incense, causing you to be in danger."

"Don't talk nonsense. Mother will definitely live a long life. There is one thing I have never told you. I have learned a very powerful medical skill a long time ago. I can cure your poison."

She took out the knife she carried with her, and deftly removed the arrowhead from Zhou Yueran's body. She cleaned the wound, stopped the bleeding, sprinkled the best medicine on the wound, and bandaged it.

Zhou Yueran still felt very tired, and she felt that her life was slowly slipping away.

"Fei'er, don't waste your energy. This poison is very strong. I will definitely not survive. Daughter, I hope you don't hate your mother."

Yang Yufei took out a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons and stuffed it into Zhou Yueran's mouth. "Take this pill and it will suppress the spread of the poison. You will be fine in two days. Mother, you will live well and you still have to watch me get married."
