Chapter 831: Chapter 729, Dong Yuanyao in Trouble_2

Yan Ying’s face showed reluctance. With him gone, who would protect the lady?

Daohua noticed his hesitation and hurriedly said, "I’ll have Bi Shi drive the carriage along Dhamar Street. We won’t be too far from you."

Only then did Yan Ying nod his head.

At the same time, in an alley several blocks from the Hongyan Restaurant, Dong Yuanyao, with hands covered in blood, bit her wrist and hid in a pile of rubbish, tensely and cautiously watching through the crevices as a Protector from the Duke Residence passed by.

Once the alley was quiet again, the tension in her heart eased slightly. Thinking about the sword that had pierced through Luo Hongyuan’s chest, tears of panic and relief streamed down Dong Yuanyao’s reddened eyes.

She haphazardly wiped the tears on her face and straightened her torn clothes before carefully stepping out from beside the rubbish and quickly walking toward the mouth of the alley.

As she left the alley, Dong Yuanyao kept her head down and hastened toward the end of the street.

However, when she was only two or three blocks from the end, a squad of soldiers suddenly swarmed in, carrying portraits and inspecting every passerby on the street.

Upon seeing this, Dong Yuanyao’s expression changed, and she quickly stepped back, glanced around, and then ran toward the alley on her left.

Before she could enter, a hand reached out.

Dong Yuanyao instinctively struck out.

"Yuanyao, it’s me!"

Only then did Dong Yuanyao realize that the person grasping her wrist was Daohua.

Seeing Daohua, Dong Yuanyao’s tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably. "Yiyi..."

Daohua, noticing the approaching soldiers, quickly pulled Dong Yuanyao onto the nearby carriage.

"Turn around!"

Once on the carriage, Daohua signaled Bi Shi to turn around and then looked at Dong Yuanyao. Seeing her torn clothes and disheveled hair, she knew without asking why she had attempted to assassinate the Luo family’s third young master.

Daohua swiftly took out some prepared clothes from under the carriage seat and handed them to Hong Ying. "Quick, help your lady tidy up." After speaking, she poured water from a teapot onto a handkerchief. Once it was wet, she grabbed Dong Yuanyao’s hand and quickly began to wipe it.

Dong Yuanyao, who had been holding back her emotions, let the two women tend to her, biting her lip without saying a word.

After Daohua had cleaned the blood from Dong Yuanyao’s hands. she lifted the carriage curtain to check the street outside, then called over Yan Ying. "You drive the carriage. We’re leaving the city immediately."

After the carriage drove past Dhamar Street, Daohua finally breathed a sigh of relief. By then, Hong Ying had also finished helping Dong Yuanyao tidy up.

Without asking about her previous actions, Daohua told Dong Yuanyao, "I’ll take you out of the city first. Once we’re out, we’ll head to Four Seasons Manor. You can stay there for a while, and when I return, I’ll find an opportunity to speak with your uncle and aunt."

Dong Yuanyao remained silent, leaning against Daohua with closed eyes. After a long while, she tearfully said, "I’ve brought trouble to my family; the Duke Residence will not let the Dong Family go!"

Hong Ying, on the side, tearfully said, "It’s not your fault, my lady. It’s that second young master Luo who lured you out."

Full of regret, Dong Yuanyao clenched her teeth. "No, it’s my fault. I was foolish to believe the second brother’s words."

Daohua patted Dong Yuanyao on the back, "Let’s get out of the city first, and then we can slowly discuss the rest."

Dong Yuanyao wept silently. Seeing Luo Hongyuan lying in a pool of blood had filled her with regret. Although her own death was of little consequence, she had inadvertently implicated her family...

"Sigh."

The carriage suddenly came to a harsh stop, and before Daohua could ask, it quickly turned around. Once the carriage stabilized, Yan Ying’s voice came in.

"Lady, a troop of guards has arrived at the city gate. They’re checking everyone leaving the city. We can’t get out."

Daohua’s brow furrowed immediately.

Dong Yuanyao sat up straight, her teeth clenched. "It must be Luo Honghao. He is the Commander of the capital’s guards; only he has the authority."

Daohua patted Dong Yuanyao’s hand, quickly thinking of a strategy. Upon hearing the sounds of soldiers searching for someone on the street and lifting the carriage curtain for a peek.

Upon seeing that the soldiers were checking all pedestrians and carriages, her brow knotted further.

"Yiyi, let me go," she said. "The Duke Residence is too powerful; your family shouldn’t confront them."

Daohua ignored Dong Yuanyao’s words. Seeing a clothing store on the street, she had Yan Ying stop the carriage. "Let’s go, we need to change clothes."

Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao into the clothing store and picked out a set of men’s clothes for her to change into. "I’ve seen the portraits the soldiers have, and they aren’t clear. You can pretend to be a servant boy."

Before Daohua could finish helping Dong Yuanyao get ready, the sound of soldiers approached from outside.

"Whose carriage is this? What are you doing stopping here?"

"My lady is inside buying clothes."

"Is that so? Well then, call your lady out quickly!"

Seeing that the soldiers were not leaving the carriage, Daohua thought for a moment, gave a veil hat to Hong Ying to put on, and said to Bi Shi, "Help Hong Ying out and draw those soldiers away."

Bi Shi was reluctant. "What about you, my lady?"

Daohua, who was also changing into a set of men’s clothes, said while changing, "I’ll leave with Yuanyao through the back door shortly." After dressing, she handed the packaged up clothes to Bi Shi. "Go on, lead the soldiers away first."

Knowing he couldn’t change Daohua’s mind, Bi Shi could only help Hong Ying out.

With their departure attracting the soldiers’ attention, Daohua seized the opportunity to pull Dong Yuanyao out through the back door.

Daohua had originally intended to meet up with Bi Shi and the others, but just as she and Dong Yuanyao exited through the back door, a squad of soldiers arrived at the alley entrance, forcing them to hurriedly leave from the back of the alley.

Meanwhile, under the surveillance of soldiers, Yan Ying also had no choice but to drive the carriage away.

After traveling a distance, Yan Ying stopped the carriage. "Bi Shi, keep driving along this street. I’ll go find the ladies."
