In the carriage.

The man was relieved to see that the woman was so understanding.

She was just an ordinary woman from a wealthy family.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the carriage to return to the capital.

Chi Yang waited and waited until the man finally let down his guard and put away the dagger in his hand. In the end, he fell asleep due to exhaustion.

By the time Chi Yang lifted the curtain to take a look. They had already entered the capital. She then sized up the man who was sleeping soundly.

“Hey, wake up!” Chi Yang waved her hand in front of the man.

Seeing that the man did not react, Chi Yang smiled.

She stretched out her leg and kicked the man off the carriage without hesitation.

‘Get lost!’

‘F*ck you. You’re threatening me and you want me to save you? I’m not the female protagonist in novels who’s so kind as to save people left and right.’

The coachman looked at the black-robed guard who was suddenly kicked out of the carriage and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

He drove the carriage fast with a capital F.

Chi Yang raised her eyebrows and looked at the coachman with admiration. Not bad, she should give the coachman more money.

The unconscious man in black was now awake because he had been kicked off the carriage. His deep eyes were staring unblinkingly at the departing carriage.

He had underestimated the woman’s temperament and thought that she was just an ordinary young lady of an official family.

But so what if she left?

Did she think he didn’t recognize the symbol of Chi Manor on the carriage?

However, he really had to thank her. If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have returned to the capital so easily.

The man stood up and looked at the carriage that had gone far away. He wiped the blood from his lips and avoided the crowd, quietly returning to his residence.

After that, the man tidied himself up and didn’t even have time to let the physician in the residence take a look at his injuries before he directly rode into the palace secretly.

When Xiao Zhenting heard the report from the young eunuch that the commander had entered the palace, he immediately had the young eunuch summon him for an audience.

…

After returning home, Chi Yang remembered that she hadn’t informed her parents and Xiao Shuyu in Jing An Temple.

What if they were anxious when they saw that she was gone?

Thus, Chi Yang sent the coachman back to Jing An Temple.

…

Back in Jing An Temple.

Xiao Shuyu kept on talking but didn’t hear Chi Yang’s response. She turned around and realized that Chi Yang was gone.

She originally thought that Chi Yang hadn’t followed her, but on her way back, she was surprised to see dried blood by the roadside.

Xiao Shuyu’s heart tightened. She quickly went to find Xiao Lianyi and Chi Yi, who was listening to the lecture and told them the news.

When the two of them heard that their daughter had disappeared, they immediately panicked.

“What should we do?” Xiao Lianyi sobbed.

Originally, she had come to Jing An Temple to improve her relationship with her daughter.

But now, her daughter was gone.

Chi Yi was still calm and quickly got people to investigate the area.

The attendants obeyed and searched along the bloodstains until they reached the monastery’s main entrance. The Chi family’s carriage that was originally parked there had long disappeared.

“This person must be looking for a carriage to successfully enter the city. If we send more people to search the capital, we will definitely be able to find Yangyang,” Chi Yi looked at the crying Xiao Lianyi and consoled her.

In fact, he was also very flustered.

Who was the one who had seen the mark of his Chi Manor and still dared to kidnap his daughter?

The group of people hurried back to the city, paying attention to the situation on the road as they hurried.

They watched as a carriage came from afar. It was the one that had left Jing An Temple.

The coachman, Old Huang, saw them from afar and shouted, “Master, Mistress! The Young Lady has already returned to the residence!”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
