After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The boy driving the coach was even more at a loss, and was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.

Cheng Songan tried not to look at the endless darkness outside, calmed his mind, and said to him: "I'm fine, how far is it?"

The child shook his head and said anxiously: "I can't see the road... I don't know..."

The sky tonight seemed much darker than usual, too much like when she died in her previous life. She fell into endless darkness in an instant and could not see a thing. She wanted to shout but no sound came out. She wanted to move her body but it was out of control. She felt like she was sinking to the bottom of the sea. The endless darkness and silence devoured her bit by bit.

It was a horrible feeling, and she had experienced it once.

"A Quan, don't stop, keep going, Haitang will definitely pick us up." Cheng Songan restrained himself and didn't let his voice tremble, otherwise the child would cry too.

Seeing that she was fine, Ah Quan calmed himself down, called out to others, and drove the carriage forward. However, it was too dark and he could not tell the direction. The road seemed to be getting narrower and narrower. Finally, he stopped and cried out, "Miss, we are lost."

Despair instantly seized all of Cheng Songan's senses. She looked at the endless darkness and trembled uncontrollably. She had to spend the night in such a dark place...

The "da da da" sound rang out in the quiet night, which seemed particularly abrupt. Ah Quan asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, will there be...will there be wolves?"

"No!" Cheng Songan buried her head in her knees, hugged her hands tightly, closed her eyes and hypnotized herself. If she said one more word, her fear would be exposed.

She could only silently recite Haitang's name. She would definitely notice something was wrong and would bring Li Wenbin and the others to look for her. But where was this place? Could they find it?

"Cheng Songan! Cheng Songan! Cheng Songan!"

The hurried and anxious voice was like the sound of nature. The clattering sound was the sound of horse hooves. It was Cui Yuanqing! It was him!

Cheng Songan raised his head and opened his eyes in the endless darkness, like a small boat in the sea, looking for the lights on the shore.

Cui Yuanqing's horse was running very fast. As soon as the sound came, he was already in front of her carriage. He jumped off the horse holding a hurricane-proof lantern and placed it at her feet.

Cheng Songan couldn't help shedding tears. She finally saw a ray of light. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Cui Yuanqing hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I brought a light!" Cui Yuanqing patted her shoulder gently and comforted her softly, "Cheng Songan, don't be afraid, it's not dark anymore, I brought a light, don't be afraid!"

He repeated it over and over again, holding her close to his chest, allowing her to feel his heartbeat even through the thick winter clothes.

After a long time, Cheng Songan's body stopped shaking, and Cui Yuanqing let her go at the right time. She silently picked up the typhoon lantern, held it high, and said to Ah Quan: "There is a lantern, go back quickly."

Ah Quan wiped his tears, pulled the reins, and prepared to hurry on, but Cui Yuanqing stopped him and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

"Yes." Ah Quan answered straightforwardly. In their Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa, all the servants and maids knew how to ride a horse, and their young lady allowed them to learn.

Cui Yuanqing hummed, handed his horse to him, and sat on the shaft of the cart: "You ride the horse and follow beside me, I will drive the cart."

A Quan was a little stunned. He looked at his young lady in astonishment. Seeing that she just lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, he obediently agreed, rode Cui Yuanqing's horse, followed the carriage, and returned safely to Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa.

In front of the mansion, Cui Yuanqing stopped the carriage. Cheng Songan got out of the carriage without saying a word, and silently returned the hurricane lantern to him without saying a word.

Cui Yuanqing did not answer it. The lamp just hung between the two of them, reflecting each other's expressions.

"Why did Lu Qingshan let you travel alone in the middle of the night?" Cui Yuanqing asked with a frown.

Although he was jealous that Lu Qingshan took her away, he was even more angry when he took her away without sending her off.

Cheng Songan smiled very lightly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all. She replied calmly, "I insisted on leaving. He didn't know. Lord Cui, let's put things aside. Thank you for what you did just now. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help you."

"It's just that from now on, we shouldn't meet each other."

"The Lu family doesn't accept you, right?" Cui Yuanqing did not agree to her request, but asked a question instead.

Cheng Songan clenched her palms. She had never thought about marrying Lu Qingshan, nor had she thought about entering the Lu family, but why was she so sad?

Those old times were not fake, and she truly regarded Lu Qingshan as a friend and Madam Lu as a relative. She knew that her current situation would be criticized and slandered, but she did not expect that the first arrow would be shot by someone close to her.

She could understand Mrs. Lu's worries and concerns, but she found it hard to accept the dislike from her relatives. It turned out that understanding and accepting were two different things.

She sneered helplessly: "Yes, with my status, what's the big deal if I'm not accepted? Unlike Lord Cui, even if you divorce a few times, there will still be people rushing to marry you. Look at me like this, very..."

Before she could utter the word "proud", she was once again embraced by Cui Yuanqing. His voice came over her head in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, Cheng Songan, I caused you to suffer injustice."

"It's not your fault, it's me. I'm sorry."

it's not your fault.

It turns out that these five simple words can soothe her grievances and sadness.

Cheng Songan held the lantern in one hand and placed the other on Cui Yuanqing's shoulder, suppressing his voice and crying.

Cui Yuanqing patted her gently, and his heart ached. He thought that from now on, seeing her marrying someone else would be the most painful thing, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that seeing her being wronged was more heartbreaking.

He would rather suffer himself than let her be unhappy.

"Girl, girl!" Mudan's surprised and happy voice came from the door, "You are finally back!"

Cheng Songan stopped crying, used Cui Yuanqing's broad chest as a shield, wiped away her tears, and nodded to Mudan.

Mudan rushed over and held her hand, almost crying: "Sister Haitang saw that the girl hadn't come back for a long time, so she went out with Li Wenbin and the others to look for her, but they haven't come back yet. Fortunately, the girl is back."

Cheng Songan felt warm in his heart. This group of people were sincere to him and they would never despise him.

Cui Yuanqing pulled out a cloud-piercing arrow from his sleeve, raised his head and shot it out. The arrow whizzed through the dark night sky, leaving a dot of light.

"They will come back when they see this arrow." Cui Yuanqing took out another arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Songan. "If you encounter this situation again in the future, you can find me like this. Cheng Songan, as long as you need me, I will always be here for you."
