Chapter 126 Whose child is it?
Zhou Maoxun thought about it and couldn't say he didn't see it, otherwise they could ask other people and find out, so he pointed in the opposite direction, "Oh, you mean those women? I saw them, their carriage went that way."
Five or six big men on horseback rode away in the direction Zhou Maoxun pointed.
Zhou Maoxun immediately ran towards where Xia Xiaorou left.
He ran for three miles before he caught up with Xia Xiaorou.
"Xiao Rou, stop the car, something happened, I have something important to tell you!" Zhou Maoxun shouted loudly towards Xia Xiaorou's carriage.
In the car, Xia Xiaorou heard his voice and frowned.
Xia Xiaoying turned her head and found that Zhou Maoxun was running out of breath and looked anxious.
Confused, he stopped the car.
"What happened? Cousin Zhou?" Xia Xiaoying turned around and asked Zhou Maoxun.
Although Xia Dequan and his siblings were not nice to her and her sister, Zhou Maoxun was honest and had taken care of them since they were young. Xia Xiaoying hoped that Xia Xiaorou would marry Zhou Maoxun, but Xia Xiaorou did not like Zhou Maoxun.
"Someone is looking for trouble with Xiaorou." Zhou Maoxun took a deep breath and said while holding the carriage. "Not long after you left, five or six horsemen came to the street to inquire about you. Their accents were not from the local area, but were very similar to those of the Yanyuan guards. Moreover, they had knives on their horses, and they looked like they were not easy to mess with."
Xia Xiaoying had just heard that Yan Heng had harmed the Xia family and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. When she heard Zhou Maoxun's words, her face suddenly changed, "Is he from Yanyuan?"
"I'm not sure if it is true or not, but anyway, you guys better hide and don't let them find you," Zhou Maoxun said.
"They are from Yanyuan. Where... where can we hide?" Xia Xiaoying slapped her thigh anxiously.
In the carriage, Chu Xianyun heard something behind their words and gestured to Xia Xiaorou in confusion, "Xiaorou, what happened in Yanyuan?"
Her son Song Yuan is still in Yanyuan, so please hope nothing happens to him.
"It's okay. They're not from Yanyuan." Xia Xiaorou held Chu Xianyun's hand. "Don't let your imagination run wild."
But just as she finished her words, she heard someone shouting in the distance outside the carriage, "Stop that carriage!"
Then Zhou Maoxun patted the carriage and whispered, "Oh no, they are chasing us. Xiaorou, Xiaoying, hurry up and drive away. I will stop them!"
Xia Xiaoying was panicking, "Cousin Zhou, there are several of them, how can you stop them alone?"
"Don't worry about me, just go!" Zhou Maoxun punched the horse in the belly. The horse was frightened and ran away wildly.
Xia Xiaorou in the car was knocked unconscious.
Several children were frightened and started crying loudly.
Xia Xiaorou hugged the child with a sullen face, lifted the curtain and looked out of the car.
If those people are not Yan Heng’s people, whose people could they be?
Thinking of Madam Luo's warning, could it be...
"Ah——" Xia Xiaoying screamed, and the horse also neighed.
The carriage stopped.
"Everyone in the car, come out!" someone shouted outside, "If you don't come out, I'll kill her!"
Chu Xianyun was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was shaking all over.
Xia Xiaorou stuffed the child into her hands and said, "Sister Xianyun, please take care of the three children. I'll go out and take a look."
Chu Xianyun nodded, "Be careful."
Xia Xiaorou looked back at her child, pulled aside the curtain and got off the carriage.
Just as she stood firm, a large knife was extended in front of her. "Are you Xia Xiaorou from the Xia Clan?"
"She's not! You got the wrong person!" Zhou Maoxun said loudly, "She...she's my wife, her last name is Chen."
"What's her name?" Another man with a knife pointed at Xia Xiaoying and asked Xia Xiaorou.
"She...she is my cousin's wife, Chen." Xia Xiaoying glanced at Zhou Maoxun, her face pale, and she lied, "The couple returned to her parents' home with their one-month-old baby. It's not Xia. I've heard of that Xia. She's the richest lady in the neighborhood. She's the fiancée of the owner of Yanyuan and she hasn't married yet. How could the child come from?"
But at this moment, another carriage rushed over from the fork in the road ahead, "She is lying, this woman is Xia's sister, it is Xia you are asking about!"
Xia Xiaorou looked up, Madam Luo?
She understood in her heart that this was indeed an ambush set for her by the Anguo Mansion.
"You dare to lie? You're looking for death!"
"You kid, you dare to lie to us?"
Several people holding knives kicked Xia Xiaoying and Zhou Maoxun hard.
Xia Xiaorou snatched the knife from someone and slashed it hard at the nearest man.
She was a weak woman who had just given birth. The men did not expect her to move so quickly and in the blink of an eye, she stabbed them several times.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to chop us? You're looking for death!"
"Beat him to death. The Fourth Miss said that it is not necessary to beat his whole body!" Madam Luo thought of Xia Xiaorou's several plots against her and gave the command loudly.
After receiving the order, several people beat Xia Xiaorou and her sister and Zhou Maoxun even more severely.
The noise outside the carriage startled the child in the carriage and made him cry even louder.
Someone pulled open the car curtain and snatched the child from Chu Xianyun's hands.
Lift it up and throw it to the ground.
Xia Xiaorou was so frightened that she rushed over to grab the child.
But at this moment, a lot of horsemen came on the road ahead. One of them drew his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the man who was about to throw the child.
He was shot in the chest and fell to the ground immediately.
Xia Xiaorou hurriedly snatched the child and held him in her arms. Her hands were shaking with nervousness.
"Xiao Rou, it's Mr. Yan." Xia Xiaoying said loudly.
Xia Xiaorou looked up suddenly. Isn't that him?
How did he get here?
Madam Luo also saw Yan Heng and turned pale with fear, "Yan... Young Master Yan?"
Yan Heng sneered and fired several more arrows, and all five men fell to the ground.
Seeing the man who kicked and beat her die in front of her, Xia Xiaoying ran to Xia Xiaorou crying in fear, "Xiaorou, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Xia Xiaorou glanced at Yan Heng who was getting closer and closer, suppressed her nervousness, smiled slightly and nodded at Xia Xiaoying, "I'm fine, sister, how about you?"
"I was only kicked a few times, it's okay." Xia Xiaoying wiped her tears and asked Zhou Maoxun again.
Zhou Maoxun was beaten quite badly because he stopped several people, and his face was badly swollen, but fortunately his arms and legs were intact.
Zhou Maoxun shook his head, "I'm fine." Seeing Yan Heng's horse approaching them, he supported Xia Xiaorou and gently asked the reason. He picked up the trampled bow and arrow awkwardly and wanted to turn around and leave.
But he was stopped by Yan Heng's men, "Wait, our young master needs to ask more questions."
Zhou Maoxun frowned and had to stand where he was.
"You look terrible, are you really okay?" Yan Heng reached out and grabbed Xia Xiaorou's wrist, looking her up and down, "It's only been a few months since we last met, why are you so weak?"
Xia Xiaorou looked embarrassed, "How could that be? It's still the same as before."
The child in her arms waved her little hands, touched Yan Heng's belt, and grabbed it.
Although it was an unintentional act, it still made Yan Heng's heart skip a beat.
He glanced at the child, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Xiaorou, "Where did the baby come from?"
Xia Xiaorou and Xia Xiaoying's expressions changed at the same time.
"It's...Sister Xianyun's." Xia Xiaorou said.
