Chapter 604 Are You His Daughter?

After walking for another two hours, it was almost midnight. The road in the mountains was completely dark. The moonlight was vast, shining on the rolling mountains in front, as if there was no end.

Fortunately, Mo Lingwei asked the secret guards to go ahead and open the way. They found a post station where they could stay. He planned to take Shen Ningning there, at least to let her have a good sleep.

However, when the carriage was halfway up the mountain road, Shen Ningning was leaning on Mo Lingwei's shoulder and dozing off. Suddenly, she heard a faint scream from outside, accompanied by shouts of "help".

She opened her eyes quickly and saw that Mo Lingwei had lifted the curtain and looked out. Obviously, he had heard it too.

The guards who followed him were already alert. Looking at the direction of the hillside where the sound came from, their carriage did not stop, fearing that they would encounter bad guys with bad intentions.

Until, Shen Ningning saw a girl covered in blood, running out of the dark forest in a panic. She did not step firmly and rolled down the hillside all the way and fell on the road ahead.

The driver hurriedly tightened the reins.

Shen Ningning pointed to the mountain: "Someone is coming with a knife!"

Mo Lingwei swept his sharp eyes over, and sure enough, there was a man with a knife, wearing clothes that looked like a servant, chasing the girl all the way down.

"Wu Fang, go stop them." Mo Lingwei gave an order, and the two guards around him immediately rushed forward.

The girl saw the carriage and crawled towards the carriage, while the guards had already fought with the servants. The servants were not good at fighting and were subdued and knocked down in two or three moves.

The injured girl had already crawled near the carriage, and she begged for mercy: "Save my husband, he... he is still on the mountain."

Mo Lingwei glanced at Shen Ningning, and saw that the girl had bent down and was ready to get off the carriage to help people. He sighed secretly.

"Forget it, Wu Fang, go to the mountain immediately."

"Yes."

According to his personality, he would never care, after all, when you go out, there are all kinds of traps.

But Shen Ningning was kind-hearted, and Mo Lingwei was willing to indulge her.

Shen Ningning helped the wounded girl up and felt the blood on her hands.

She was surprised: "Did you meet your enemies?"

The girl seemed to have suffered a great blow, crying out of breath, and couldn't even finish a sentence.

"No, I... my father's people... my husband is dying..." She sobbed, her legs were weak, and she could hardly stand.

Shen Ningning could only ask the driver to help her sit on the shaft of the carriage.

Then, she took the water bag, wet the towel, wiped the girl's cheeks and palms, and planned to clean the wounds she fell from.

Under the moonlight, the girl's original appearance was revealed. She looked pretty and elegant, about the same age as Shen Ningning, and had a woman's bun.

Shen Ningning wiped her for a long time before she found that the only wounds she had just fallen from the hillside, and the blood on her clothes were from others.

It looked like her husband must have been seriously injured.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of fighting in the forest stopped, and Wu Fang came out carrying a man covered in blood.

"Husband!" The girl uttered a miserable cry and rushed over.

Wu Fang put the man on the ground, his face was as pale as paper, and he was unconscious.

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips and called Wu Fang to ask about the situation.

Wu Fang bowed and said, "There are still four servants, a woman and a maid in the forest. They have all been subdued. I just checked it roughly. This man has been stabbed at least ten times. His breath is weak. If you don't find a doctor, he will definitely die."

But this place is deep in the mountains and forests, where can I find a doctor?

The girl buried herself in her husband's body, crying heartbreakingly, and kept shouting: "It's me who implicated you, husband, if you die, I will never live alone."

Shen Ningning couldn't bear it, and said to Mo Lingwei: "Why don't we help them again?"

The tied-up servants were ferocious, not at all timid, and shouted: "Where are you from? How dare you meddle in the affairs of our Master Ren!"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "Oh? Which Master Ren?"

"Hehe, Lingshan City Governor, Master Ren doesn't know? Let me go quickly, and then get out! Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Shen Ningning crossed her arms: "If you say so, I will still take care of it to the end."

It's Governor Ren again, how come everything along the way is related to him?

Mo Lingwei nodded, asked Wu Fang to help, and put the bloody man on the carriage.

Shen Ningning took out the best golden wound medicine, hemostatic herbs, and two water bags of spiritual spring water to help stop the wound.

She was about to get on the carriage, but Mo Lingwei grabbed her wrist.

"Where are you going?"

"To save people!" Shen Ningning raised the herbs in her hand.

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "He is a man, he is injured, and he has to take off his clothes. It is inconvenient for you to go, so let Wu Fang and his wife go in and apply medicine to him."

Shen Ningning thought it made sense, and she put the prepared herbs and other things on the shaft of the carriage.

After a lot of trouble, Wu Fang came down and said to Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei: "The bleeding has stopped, but the man is not awake."

Shen Ningning frowned and thought: "We have to find a place to boil medicine and let him rest well, but this place is still a long way from the post station."

The dark guard who was tying up the servants heard this and came over and said: "When we were exploring the way before, there was an abandoned farmyard nearby that can be used."

With Mo Lingwei's permission, the group moved to the farmhouse in the mountains.

When we arrived outside the small courtyard, we saw an abandoned house covered in dust.

Fortunately, the secret guards acted quickly. After a simple scrubbing, the lights came on in the house.

The girl watched Wu Fang put her husband on the bed, her eyebrows furrowed and worried.

The secret guard at the door came in and asked Mo Lingwei: "Master, what should we do with those servants?"

Mo Lingwei looked at the girl: "Is the servant yours?"

The girl turned pale and raised her head: "My father sent me to take me home, but they are actually my stepmother's people. They want my life."

With that said, she lifted up her skirt and stood up, kneeling in front of Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei.

"If I hadn't met these two nobles today, my husband and I would not have been able to save our lives. I beg you to kill them for me. Otherwise, if I let them go, they would tell my stepmother that I am not dead, and I am afraid that there will be another disaster in the future."

Shen Ningning was confused: "You don't plan to go back to your own home?"

The girl smiled bitterly: "To be honest with you, I have never seen my father since I was born. Because I was weak and sick when I was young, I was sent to my maternal grandfather's house to be raised after I was born. After my mother passed away, my father soon had a second marriage. They The family is enjoying themselves so much that they don’t even remember me.”

"Even after my grandfather and his family passed away, he didn't want to take me back. I had been married for more than a year, and he suddenly wrote a letter asking me to go home, and even sent someone to pick me up. It was impossible not to leave, but I had already regarded it as My father is dead, and my stepmother is probably afraid that I will fight with my sisters and brothers at home, so she doesn’t want me to go back alive.”

"For me, that is not home, it is already purgatory. After this experience, I will never go back."

Shen Ningning was angry: "That's unreasonable. Your father shouldn't know what your stepmother did. You are his own flesh and blood. If he knew you were assassinated, would he ignore it?"

"He is already the governor of Lingshan City. It is too late for many people to flatter him, not to mention he has many children. How can I care if one of them is missing?" The girl sighed with tears streaming down her face.

Mo Lingwei suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Are you the daughter of Ren Pengyi, the governor of Lingshan City?"

She just heard the servant mention the name of Prefect Ren, but Shen Ningning didn't expect that it was him who killed her daughter!
