In the carriage, Cui Hengyue was sitting on her knees in the corner, her head lowered, her body trembling slightly, as if she was timid when meeting a noble person.

"Thank you so much, Madam..." After timidly thanking her, Cui Hengyue did not dare to speak again.

A gentle voice sounded: "Little lady, don't be afraid, and don't be cautious. Come, sit next to me."

Cui Hengyue waved her hands quickly: "I can't do it, I can't do it."

A well-maintained hand stretched out, and Cui Hengyue was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, but hit the wall of the carriage and screamed.

"You little lady, my wife is kind enough to help you, what is your name? My wife is not a savage beast." The maid sitting next to Cui Hengyue couldn't help but say something.

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue's head dropped even lower.

"Wutong, don't be rude."

The lady reprimanded the maid, then continued to stretch out her hand and said softly to Cui Hengyue: "Little madam, I know that you have suffered a sudden misfortune, and you are scared and sad in your heart, and you cannot trust others.

"But please believe me once, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just want to help you.

"Come, sit next to me, and I'll help you look at your injuries."

Perhaps soothed by her gentle voice, Cui Hengyue stared at her hand for a while, and finally timidly stretched out his hand and placed it on hers.

Her hand was soft and warm, and there was a familiar feeling when touching it. Cui Hengyue couldn't help but raise her head and look at the owner of the hand.

She was wearing a simple and elegant light blue gauze skirt, with an oval face, long willow eyebrows, and a pair of red and phoenix eyes looking at Cui Hengyue with a smile. She was indescribably bright and noble.

She does not give people a sense of superiority and alienation, but a kind and close feeling.

Cui Hengyue couldn't help but move to her side, wanting to get close to her: "Madam——"

"Here, let me help you look at the injury on your arm."

The lady gently rolled up Cui Hengyue's sleeve and looked at it: "The wound is not very deep, but it has been soaked in dirty water for a long time and needs to be cleaned carefully."

After saying that, the lady stretched out her hand to the side: "Wutong, bring me clean water and a towel, and bring me some wound medicine and gauze."

Cui Hengyue took the opportunity to look at Wutong next to her. She was a pretty little maid with a round face. But at this time, Wutong no longer had the impatience she had just now. She responded respectfully and went to prepare things.

After preparing everything, the lady picked up the wet handkerchief and gently wiped the area around Cui Hengyue's wound.

After wiping it three times, she gently blew on Cui Hengyue's wound.

Cui Hengyue was stunned.

The lady's movements were so gentle, completely different from Qionghua's. Although Qionghua's movements were very gentle when she bandaged her wounds, the lady gave her a very warm feeling.

Seeing Cui Hengyue's expression, Wutong couldn't help but proudly said: "My wife is of noble status and kind-hearted, and she will never look down on those of low status.

"When I encounter people who are sick, my wife will personally help them bandage their wounds and feed them medicine..."

The lady turned her head and called out lightly: "Wutong."

Wutong quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Madam, please calm down, I am too talkative. You said that you just want to do more good deeds and help more poor people. You don't care whether others know about these merits.

"However, I didn't mean to promote it. I just saw that the little lady was too nervous and wanted to comfort her."

The lady said nothing more and continued to help Cui Hengyue treat his wounds.

Cui Hengyue lowered her head and looked at the pair of hands that were busy working for her, and couldn't help but admire in her heart: This lady's movements were full of elegance, humility, and not a trace of arrogance.

Moreover, he did not dislike her low status and dirty clothes. He treated her wounds with his own hands and took care of her mood. He was really a rare kind person.

"alright."

The lady looked at Cui Hengyue's arm with satisfaction and said with a slight smile: "When we get to the inn later, I will have someone prepare some clothes for you. You can change into them after you take a bath, and we will have a meal together."

After saying that, the lady pushed the cakes on the table in front of Cui Hengyue: "Now, eat some cakes to fill your stomach, but don't eat too much, lest you won't be able to eat later."

"Okay." Cui Hengyue responded obediently and went to get the cakes.

The lady looked at her with pity: "I heard from Xiuyun that there were bandits in your village, and you were sent out by your parents who fought to the death.

"I don't know the name of your village, but you might as well tell me and I'll have someone tell the government. They will definitely send officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, and your parents' bodies will be recovered by then."

Cui Hengyue paused, she didn't expect this to happen.

Then, Cui Hengyue chewed and swallowed the cake in his mouth, and replied: "Thank you madam for your concern, but before I met madam, I met several officials and told them the truth.

"Presumably, they have gone to the village now."

At this time, Wutong interrupted: "Then why don't you go back to the village with the official?"

Cui Hengyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly thought of the reason: "My parents were knocked into the water by bandits in order to save me, and their bodies were washed away by the flood.

"The officials have all gone to suppress the bandits, and no one is going to salvage the bodies. Besides, no one knows where the bodies were rushed. So, I want to go find my parents'... bodies by myself..."

Speaking of this, Cui Hengyue's eyes were red and she choked up: "I have no way to avenge them. I can only find their bones and let them rest in peace..."

Seeing Cui Hengyue's eyes welling up with tears, the madam suddenly felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She held Cui Hengyue's hand and patted it gently: "Don't worry, child, you will definitely find your parents, and I will help you."

Cui Hengyue looked excited: "Thank you, Madam. I will never forget your great kindness. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay Madam."

So, the lady told Wutong: "Go and tell Zeng Ming and ask him to send some people to search along the Ganges..."

While they were talking, Cui Hengyue secretly lifted the curtain in front of the car window and looked out.

But after just two glances, she put down the curtain and sat quietly.

Someone from the King of Chu passed by the carriage just now. They were dressed as civilians and looked around. When they saw the veiled people, they would step forward to inquire.

They are definitely looking for themselves.

Cui Hengyue felt a little panicked. She finally escaped and she must not be caught back.

She looked at the two masters and servants who were still talking, and thought in her mind: This lady has a high status and is so kind. She might as well follow this lady first, escape the pursuit of the King of Chu, and then find a way to return to the Cui family.

.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a voice came from outside: "Madam, we have arrived at the inn."

Wutong opened the car door, got out of the carriage first, and then called inside: "Little lady, come down quickly."

Cui Hengyue first looked outside and saw that there was no suspicious person around. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and jumped out of the carriage with his head lowered.

Wutong reached out to help his wife again.

"Mrs. Cui——"

A gorgeously dressed woman with heavy makeup appeared out of nowhere, pushed Cui Hengyue away, came up to the lady, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't know that Mrs. Cui came to Mingyang Town today, and I am not welcome at a distance. Please forgive me, Mrs. Cui."

crime."

"Mrs. Cui?" Cui Hengyue was a little shocked, with a hint of doubt in her expression.

For some reason, she always felt that Mrs. Cui had something to do with her.

The little maid next to her saw Cui Hengyue's shocked look and couldn't help but show off: "Yes, my wife is the eldest lady of Duke Jingguo's palace, and is now your majesty's aunt."

Cui Hengyue was stunned.

The eldest lady of the Duke of Jingguo?
