Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 396

Lin Yan asked Ye Xi to take off her cloak. After autumn, the weather in the north has been cold, and Ye Xi was afraid of the cold, so he kept wearing the cloak.

Lin Yan put Ye Xi's cloak on herself, and then pushed Ye Xi onto another guard's horse.

The guard cleverly reached out to take Ye Xi and put her on the horse in front of him.

Then Lin Yan, wearing a cloak, took another fork in the road with another guard.

When the robbers behind turned the corner, they saw the original "target" walking into the small path with a guard. One guard followed, but the other guard was still running wildly on the official road.

The leader of the robbers wanted to lead the team to follow the "target" into the small path in a fit of impulsiveness, but one of the robbers who followed behind noticed that a woman was missing and thought that the guards on the official road might be cheating.

In order to prevent being attacked from the east and west, he shouted "Chase over there!" and then continued running on the official road with a group of people.

Ye Xi guessed what Lin Yan was thinking when she asked her to take off her cloak. She disagreed, but Lin Yan forced it on another guard.

She was powerless and just now saw the guards being killed, she was extremely scared.

Lin Yan deliberately dressed up as her to lure away the robbers, but some robbers still chased her, and she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to return alive this time.

She regretted it very much. Why did she forget to write a will?

Although she did not officially marry Wei Jue, most people outside knew about their relationship. What if all her businesses were taken over by the Wei family?

The Wei family is already wealthy and powerful, and does not need anything more to add to it.

She wanted to leave this property to the Ye family and Siyu, especially Siyu. If she was not around, Siyu would be an orphan.

If Wei Jue has a conscience and wants to give Siyu a good upbringing, it would be best if he could find a good husband for her in the future. Otherwise, he could send Siyu back to the Ye family.

If Siyu was deliberately used by him, she would not end up well, but it was too late now.

Listening to the sounds of fighting behind her, Ye Xi couldn't help but worry about Lin Yan again. Even if Lin Yan was very skilled in martial arts, she was still a woman. If she was caught by robbers, her fate would probably not be much better than hers.

She looked towards the path where Lin Yan was walking, but she could no longer see her.

She saw the backs of the robbers revealed in the dust from the horses' trampling on the ground.

Her face turned even paler when she saw that most of the robbers were chasing after Lin Yan. She already felt sorry for those guards who had died.

If Lin Yan was captured, her fate would surely be even more miserable. How could she feel at ease?

"Can we go to the nearest city and ask for help from the authorities? We need to go back and rescue them!"

When Ye Xi turned around and spoke to the guard behind her, her face was covered with tears.

"Madam, we have to get rid of them first before we can think about these things, we, ugh~"

Suddenly, the guard behind him spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed directly onto Ye Xi's face.

Ye Xi felt her face first getting hot, then getting cold, and she was horrified.

"What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?" Ye Xi's lips were trembling.

"Madam, I..." The guard was about to fall down before he could finish his words.

Ye Xi turned around and tried to support the guard in a very strange and twisted posture, but the other party was a man, and he was tall and strong.

The most important thing was that they were still bouncing on the horse's back. When she moved, they lost their balance and fell straight down.

This was the first time Ye Xi fell off a horse. She knew that if she fell off a horse at this speed, she would be crippled if not killed.
