Chapter 18

Sheng Fengxue, who dared not and would not show weakness, even if she was sad to death, did not dare to make a sound.

Because as long as she makes a voice of resistance, others will tell her like this:

"Why do they only bully you and not others? Obviously this is your own problem!"

"You don't have parents, you are an orphan, no one is willing to take care of you, even if we beat you to death, so what?"

"She is younger than you, so you just let her, it's just a candy from the teacher."

"You man, why are you so stingy? Isn't it just the biscuits distributed by the factory, and you didn't buy them with your own money, so it won't do anything if you give them to us."

"That man has a good temper. Now he listens to his parents, and he will definitely listen to yours in the future... His family conditions are considered good. You are an orphan. It is not easy to find such a person. I regard you as a friend , how could it possibly harm you."

then……

Then, what happened?
It seems that I can't remember.

"Oh!--"

Sheng Fengxue screamed and woke up from the nightmare.

The tone echoed in the cave, making her eardrums ache.

Sheng Fengxue suddenly remembered that there was another person here, so she hurriedly turned to look over.

The rain outside the cave had stopped, and it was dawn early.

The man was no longer here, and the entrance of the cave was still neatly lined with firewood to keep out the wind.

"Go... are you going?" Sheng Fengxue relaxed his guard, his body softened and he sat down on the stone, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The bonfire beside him was slightly warm, and it seemed that the man had just left.

"It turns out that I have already escaped from the Du Mansion..."

Sheng Fengxue had to hurry up.

Pushing away the firewood at the entrance of the cave, a man's white robe slid down on the firewood.

The neckline looks like fox fur, and the tail is like a lotus leaf. It's not very thick, but it's very warm. It's better than the clothes Sheng Jiao'e wore before.

Sheng Fengxue leaned over to pick it up, patted off the water droplets on the white robe, and then stroked the fabric carefully. Neither Xu Xian nor Du Jiaoniang's winter robes had such a good texture.

It is worth a lot of money at first glance.

"It looks like it was left by that person yesterday."

Looking back, the neatly arranged firewood, the white robe tightly held in his hands, and Sheng Fengxue's mood finally got better because of this person's warm actions.

Looking around for that person, Sheng Fengxue had no choice but to fold the white robe and take away with the few clothes in the cave.

The white robe must be returned to its original owner!

After the night rain, the mountain road was even more difficult to walk. By the time Sheng Fengxue found the downhill road and reached the official road leading to the capital, it was already past lunch time.

Suddenly, at the corner of the foot of the mountain, a carriage rushed up, and the wheels ran over the puddles, and the splashed rainwater wet the coat of Sheng Fengxue who was hurrying on the road.

Sheng Fengxue was huddling in the corner at the foot of the mountain to rest, tired and hungry, she didn't even have the strength to call them back.

"Call-"

With a charming shout, the two steeds walking side by side stopped at the same time, and stopped together with a little horse that was struggling and trying to escape.

At the age of twenty-eight, Nangong Ningzhi, dressed in goose green clothes, got off the carriage, with fluttering skirts and hair fluttering in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

Sheng Fengxue tilted his head and looked at her weakly, then turned to face the mountain wall.

She didn't want to get into any more trouble.

After a short while, Nangong Ningzhi came to Sheng Fengxue, the first thing she saw was the white robe that Sheng Fengxue was tightly protecting on her chest.

Because she was neatly folded and was deliberately covered by her body, Nangong Ningzhi only saw the fox's collar.

"Little girl Ningzhi," Nangong Ningzhi saluted with a gentle attitude, "...Sorry, the muddy water stained Miss's clothes."

"It's okay." Sheng Fengxue replied weakly, but still didn't turn her face away.

"Little lady is in a hurry to send Miss home. Look at us, how much money do we need to compensate you?" Nangong Ningzhi smiled and was very polite.

"No need!" Sheng Fengxue replied concisely, she was so hungry that she didn't even have the energy to speak.

When he escaped from the Du Mansion, he didn't bring much cakes and dry food, and he had already eaten them last night.

It's not her style to ask someone to compensate for such a trivial matter!

"Ningzhi, what's going on?"

A voice that was so weak that it was about to die suddenly came from not far away. Sheng Fengxue heard it, and turned to look at it curiously.

A boy with a pale face, he was about the same age as Nangong Ningzhi, so weak that he would die at any moment.

"Dongfang Yu, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the lady? The lady is still young, and she can't leave her for a moment... You look like you want to die, so don't come out to embarrass yourself, okay?"

Before Sheng Fengxue could speak, Nangong Ningzhi turned her head and got angry at this young man named Dongfang Yu.

The training is not polite at all.

"Ha ha."

Dongfang Yu just smirked, supported the outer wall of the carriage and panted for several times, and then continued: "Miss is still asleep...that horse barking makes me upset, I can't sleep."

"..."

Nangong Ningzhi was speechless, glared at him, then turned to stare at the white robe in Sheng Fengxue's arms, thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Miss, are you going away?"

"En." Feeling no malice, Sheng Fengxue nodded silently.

"In this case, we will give the pony we picked up on the road to Miss as compensation." Nangong Ningzhi said quickly.

"No need!" Sheng Fengxue looked up at her, and then looked at the crumbling Dongfang Yu, "You guys go first, I'm fine, I don't need any compensation."

"Anyway, that little pony was also picked up." Dongfang Yu opened his mouth, and while speaking, he had already led the horse over.

This time, the walking was smooth, and there was no feeling of falling to the ground.

The horse barked happily when it saw Sheng Fengxue, and it clearly wanted to break free and run away.

"Look, it seems to like you very much," Dongfang Yu said, throwing the rein of the horse, and then walked quickly to the carriage, stumbling, and his breathing became short of breath because of this, "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted... Even breathing is so tiring... Ningzhi, I'm so tired!—"

A weaker voice than before.

As soon as he finished speaking, he lay down on the wall of the carriage. Seeing this, Nangong Ningzhi couldn't care less about Sheng Fengxue, and smiled at her as a greeting, and quickly turned back after paying her respects.

When Fu Dongfang got into the carriage, Nangong Ningzhi rode his horse and whipped his whip, and hurriedly headed towards Yan's mansion.

"Woooo—" the little pony called happily, very fond of Sheng Fengxue.

"You want to follow me, don't you?" Sheng Fengxue stood up after the carriage had gone far away, stroking the pony's head delicately.

The little pony screamed and shook its head, looking very happy.

"But now I'm... penniless." Sheng Fengxue looked at the road ahead and smiled helplessly.

That's where Ningzhi and Dongfang Yu came from, it seems that they came from the direction of the capital.

Listening to Sheng Fengxue talking to him non-stop, it made cheerful noises and pawed its front hooves non-stop.

"In this case, you can accompany me on the road."

Sheng Fengxue carefully got on his horse.

She turned her head to look in the direction of Du Mansion for the last time, and then rode towards the capital.

On the way here, I ran into a woodcutter, and Sheng Fengxue asked about it.

A little further ahead, there is an inn with stables next to it, a pawn shop and several residents next to it.
