No one knew where this carriage was heading, and Yun Jinnian didn’t ask, sitting quietly and indifferently.
Whoever was behind this, it definitely wasn’t those fools from the Yun Family.
They lacked the resources, the intelligence, and were unaware that the pouch contained spiritual poisonous insects. If the Chong Ling Sect couldn’t find her, they would certainly find the spiritual insects.
With the spiritual insects on her, she would inevitably be tracked down.
Yun Jinnian had a bracelet from Chu Yu on her wrist, with needles as thin as cow hair inside, but she wasn’t confident she could hit Chong Ling in one strike.
Even if she managed to hit Chong Ling, what about the people outside?
Several carriages heading in different directions made it like finding a needle in a haystack; she had to rescue herself.
With that in mind, Yun Jinnian lifted her foot as Chong Ling changed her shoes.
"Pour me a glass of water!"
"Yes, does the commandery princess want it hot, warm, or cold?"
"Cold, please," Yun Jinnian replied softly, her clear eyes fixed on Chong Ling.
She was quite angry and didn’t want anything hot.
She was, however, quite grateful for Hemei’s obedience and hoped these people would keep their word—taking her away was fine, but they shouldn’t harm Hemei and the others.
Chong Ling took a kettle from the stove, poured some cold water, and handed it to Yun Jinnian.
After taking a few sips, Yun Jinnian said, "Will my maid be alright?"
"Don’t worry, commandery princess. The master instructed us not to harm them. Those from the Yun Family aren’t very capable, and as long as Hemei isn’t foolish, she can protect them!"
Of course, if Hemei became foolish and followed, it was hard to say.
Yun Jinnian looked at Chong Ling and smiled slightly, "You actually know Hemei. Have we met before?"
Chong Ling gave a light smile, "The commandery princess need not test me, for we haven’t met before. I only just learned that the one who left for the kitchen was Henuan, and the one who stayed was Hemei!"
Everything was watertight.
His mind was extraordinarily deep.
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Who is your master, and where are you taking me?"
"Once we arrive, and the commandery princess meets my master, she’ll know!"
"Hmm, what you say makes a lot of sense. So does that mean I’m currently safe?"
Chong Ling smiled slightly in surprise, nodding solemnly, "We wouldn’t dare to offend the commandery princess. Please eat well, drink well, and rest well. Just treat it as a journey!"
"Alright, I understand. Thank you!"
Yun Jinnian said, then casually reclined on the soft couch, "It’s a bit stuffy in here, open the window for some fresh air!"
Instead of opening a window, Chong Ling opened the carriage door, letting the cool breeze flow inside.
Yun Jinnian slowly closed her eyes.
Hopefully, Chu Yu would soon realize she was gone and come looking for her.
But Yun Jinnian never thought that the first to come looking for her would be Yun Qi, her father.
When Yun Qi arrived in the rain to the estate, Yun Jinnian had just been taken away moments before.
Hemei alone stood against dozens.
Her body covered in wounds.
The people who took Yun Jinnian had spared her, Henuan, and the dozen Hidden Guards but forgot that others in the Yun Family wished her dead and wanted to erase all traces.
However, they all underestimated Hemei’s combat skills, her martial arts.
The arriving group thought those who took Yun Jinnian had taken care of everything, never considering there’d be a survivor like Hemei, and she was a fierce mermaid.
When Yun Qi arrived, only Hemei was fighting back, none of the Yun Family members appeared.
And seeing Yun Qi brought reinforcements, those people quickly fled.
