"Wanwan!!" Qiao Yuanqing's pupils shrank drastically. He shouted at her loudly, angry and anxious, and instinctively reached out to catch her.

However, there was still some distance between him and the city wall, so he could only watch his sister's body falling rapidly.

Qiao Yuanqing's mind went blank for a moment.

Almost at this moment, a maroon horse appeared under the city wall like lightning, and the person on the horse caught the light blue figure falling from the city wall.

The people around screamed "Ah" and were unable to react. The chestnut horse did not stop, but caught the person and rode away directly.

By the time Qiao Yuanqing reacted, the maroon horse had already run far away.

"Gee!" Qiao Yuanqing immediately chased after him with red eyes, and finally chased him to the edge of the cliff. Seeing the river water tumbling below the cliff, he was so scared that he reined in his horse and retreated.

"Find! You must find Qiao Wanwan for me!" Qiao Yuanqing said fiercely.

The guards who followed him immediately responded and went to look for him separately.

After Chu Heyi rescued the person, she pretended to run out of the city. In fact, she was still in the city. She turned a few corners and came to the back door of Xie Mansion, near Xie Lin's yard.

Qiao Wanwan fell from the city wall. After she caught it, she was hit again and fainted.

Chu Heyi carried her down from the horse, deliberately made a noise at the backyard door, and then held Qiao Wanwan and waited under a big tree.

Not long after, Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes and was stunned when she saw Chu Heyi's face.

Chu Heyi smiled at her: "It's okay, Sister Wan."

When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, like the morning sunshine, bringing infinite warmth.

"I originally wanted to take you to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but now there is no one in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to guard you. If your father and brother come looking for you, I'm afraid you will still be in danger, so I brought you to the Xie family. The head of the Xie family will protect you."

Chu Heyi said to her, "I am now a hostage in the palace. I escaped secretly and I have to go back quickly. The palace is heavily guarded and I cannot bring you into the palace. You should stay in Xie's house for a while. When my eldest brother comes back, he will come to pick you up personally."

Qiao Wanwan looked at her quietly, still feeling completely hopeless.

So what if Chu Heyi saved her this time?

As long as she didn't die, her father and brother would force her to marry someone else if they found her in the future. As long as the person could bring benefits to the Qiao family, they would marry her no matter what that person was like or whether she liked him or not.

Chu Heyi knew what she was thinking. He held her hand and said solemnly, "Sister Wan, the darkness before dawn is the most difficult to endure. Countless people have fallen in the darkness before dawn. It's a pity. But believe me, my eldest brother will walk to you with his own feet."

She said it so seriously and with such confidence that Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but believe it. Her tears rolled down and she began to choke.

A person with a dead heart cannot cry.

But now, she was revived and couldn't help crying.

"Sister Wan, you are going to marry General Daqi in the future. Seeking your own death is not the path you want to take. Even if we in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion die, we must die for a good cause and not let others look down on us easily. What do you think?"

Qiao Wanwan was slightly stunned. She...she thought of herself as a member of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?

She was born and raised in the Qiao family, but she never had a sense of "home" there. Her father and brother just treated her as a precious object and raised her well.

Qiao Wanwan's heart was very excited. She was warmed by Chu Heyi's words and also inspired by her words.

Yes, she was going to marry Chu Ni, who was a great general guarding a region. How could his fiancée be so cowardly as to commit suicide?

Squeak.

Chu Heyi heard the backyard door open, so she helped Qiao Wanwan up and walked to the door.

"Are you the ones causing the noise here?" The man who came was a security guard. He did not know Chu Heyi and Qiao Wanwan, but judging from their clothes, they looked like some poor noble ladies. He could not help but feel puzzled, but did not dare to act rashly.

"I want to see your family head." Chu Heyi took out Xie Lin's jade pendant.

"This is the jade pendant that your family master always carries with him. Take me over now, and no one is allowed to make a sound. If anyone makes a sound, I will smash the jade pendant to pieces, and you will not be able to explain to the family master."

Xie Lin has been wearing this jade pendant for more than ten years. The security guards at home have seen it a few times and they dared not say anything.

Chu Heyi walked inside holding the jade pendant in one hand and supporting Qiao Wanwan with the other. After taking a few steps, she noticed a gaze falling on her. She looked up and saw Xie Lin standing under the eaves in front of her.

He was wearing a dark green brocade robe and had no accessories around his waist. Chu Heyi smiled and thought that this man would rather have nothing than have something less than perfect.

Looking up, I saw his glazed face with clear contours, smooth lines, long eyebrows, deep eyes, and he was extremely handsome.

Just by standing there, he gave people a feeling of unparalleled dignity, making people hold their breath and not dare to act rashly.

"All of you retreat. What happened today must not be spread outside." Xie Lin said calmly, without any sadness or joy. However, the people around him retreated quickly and respectfully, leaving only Wangshan beside him.

"Thank you, Third Master. Sister Wan is my future sister-in-law. Please help me hide her for a while, two months at most, and my eldest brother will come to pick her up."

"reason?"

Chu Heyi said: "Last time in the Osmanthus Bureau, I cooperated with the Third Master to act, and the Third Master made a lot of money, which made up for the loss of the Xie family, and you haven't repaid me yet."

Xie Lin's face still showed no emotion: "I am sick and weak, so she disguised as a nun and came to the mansion to pray for me, how about that?"

The young lady of the Qiao family suddenly moved into the Xie family, which attracted too much attention. I'm afraid that the Qiao family has already abducted her without waiting for Chu Yi to come and pick her up.

It was inappropriate for her, a rich girl, to dress up as a maid.

Send him outside and ask someone to protect him, for fear that when the Qiao family comes looking for him, he won’t be noticed immediately.

It would be better to disguise herself as a nun and stay in the Xie family. If any accidents happen, you can detect and prevent them at the first time.

Chu Heyi asked: "Sister Wan, what do you think?"

"I am already very grateful to the Xie family for taking me in. Thank you very much, Third Master." Qiao Wanwan said.

But she was puzzled. Aren't the Chu and Xie families enemies? How did Chu Heyi find the Xie family's mansion when he was looking for help? It was really unbelievable.

"Wangshan, take Miss Qiao down to dress her up, and set up a small Buddhist temple."

Wangshan agreed and took Qiao Wanwan away.

Chu Heyi breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily solving a big problem.

"I will definitely thank you for your kindness today, Third Master, someday."

"it is good."

Chu Heyi: “…” You should be more polite.

"I'm leaving?"

"it is good."

Chu Heyi looked at his face. This man was calm and didn't care about her coming and going at all. He didn't even offer to see her off.

Alas! Their life trajectories did not follow the same path as in their previous lives. Would Xie Lin no longer have the desire to teach and care for her?

There are gains and losses in life. Chu Heyi sighed, gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

She was worried about Baihua who was pretending to be her in the palace, and was walking in a hurry, so she didn't notice that the man behind her involuntarily took a small step forward after she turned around.

A thought came to my mind: "This time she didn't ask me about my medication or my health."

It’s no wonder that Chu Heyi was anxious. Not long after she left the palace, something big happened in Changqing Palace.
