Chapter 294 The opponent's methods were simple and brutal.
Xia Mo thought for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked Lou Tingting's hair to comfort her.
Lou Tingting probably hasn't realized that she's being used, and by someone very close to her.
Lou Tingting was a little stunned when she suddenly received a pat on the head from Xia Mo, but she couldn't help but smile.
As soon as they stepped out of the Jiang Prince's Mansion, they noticed a carriage parked across the street.
"Lord Anjia!"
On the carriage, Princess He couldn't wait to jump off and rush towards the entrance of the Jiang Prince's Mansion across the street.
Princess He didn't even look at either side of the road, and the carriage rushed towards her without her noticing.
"Make way, make way quickly!"
The coachman hurriedly reined in the horse, but it was too late. The carriage was about to hit Princess He. The coachman's face turned pale and ashen.
This place is inhabited by nobles. He, a mere coachman, has injured one of them. The host of the carriage must apologize, but he... is doomed!
Princess He heard the clattering sound of horses' hooves on the ground beside her, and her face turned pale instantly. Her legs went weak, and she unconsciously slumped down.
Seeing that Brother Xia had made a move, Xia Mo hesitated for a moment and did not rush out.
Brother Xia grabbed Princess He's arm and led her back to her own carriage.
The oncoming carriage stopped a short distance past where Princess He had been standing.
The coachman was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he tumbled off the carriage with a "bang." He was clearly terrified, and his limbs went limp as he knelt on the ground.
Brother Xia released his grip on Princess He's arm, stepped back, and reminded her, "Next time you cross the road, remember to check if there are any carriages or horses on either side."
Princess He's face turned deathly pale with fright. Hearing Brother Xia's reprimand, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She looked at Brother Xia pitifully and said in a choked voice, "I was just scared. Why are you yelling at me?"
Xia Mo: "..." She fell silent.
Based on her intuition, she scanned Princess He and Brother Xia with her divine sense and discovered that there was a thin red thread connecting the two of them!
Although the red thread only represents that two people are destined to be together, it does not mean that they will be together. However, Xia Mo was still slightly shocked when she saw the red thread.
Seeing that Princess He was not going to admit her mistake and was still feeling wronged, Brother Xia stopped talking and left without saying "I was being presumptuous" or waiting for Princess He to thank him.
Princess He wouldn't listen to advice, so Brother Xia lost the will to continue and decisively left.
Princess He stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Brother Xia's decisive departure, stomping her feet in anger.
How could this person just leave like that?!
Princess He casually wiped away her tears, glanced at both ends of the carriage, and walked back to the entrance of Prince Jiang's mansion.
"Big brother," Xia Mo reminded her brother, Princess He had followed them.
Brother Xia looked up and smiled tenderly at Xia Mo.
Princess He rushed to Brother Xia's side and looked at his profile from the side. She saw his eyes soften and become affectionate. In that instant, emotions she couldn't understand surged within her.
"Is there something you need, Princess?"
Xia Mo stepped forward, separating Princess He from Brother Xia.
“Today is the Lantern Festival, and I would like to invite you to join us,” Princess He said bluntly.
Xia Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's do it together."
“Us?” Princess He frowned, somewhat displeased. Someone rushed ahead of her and invited Xia Mo.
“This is my good friend, she’s with us,” Xia Mo said, taking Lou Tingting’s hand and introducing her briefly.
Princess He stared wide-eyed in surprise. When did Xia Mo become friends with Lou Tingting?! Then what was she?!
Princess He was unhappy, and she kept a long face.
Xia's father and mother glanced at Xia Mo somewhat uncomfortably.
Xia's mother approached Xia Mo and whispered inquiring about Princess He's identity.
Upon hearing Princess He's identity, Xia's father and the others became even more uncomfortable.
As summer drew to a close, the thought that Princess He was actually her elder brother's destined spouse caused her a bit of a headache.
Or should she just take it apart herself?
The group split into four carriages and headed towards the main street where the lantern festival was being held.
The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother closely protected their father and mother.
“Let’s go to the bridge at the end of summer. I heard that if you walk across the bridge on this day, you’ll have a smooth life from now on,” Lou Tingting said.
A fleeting, almost imperceptible emotion flashed across Xia Mo's eyes, and she nodded.
Lou Tingting reached out and took Xia Mo's hand, and the two sisters walked towards the bridge.
Seeing this, Princess He naturally wanted to follow as well.
Three people, with Xia Mo at the center, walked hand in hand onto the bridge.
On the bridge, people come and go, some couples holding hands, others friends together, all hoping for good luck.
Once on the arched bridge, we pause briefly, gaze at the full moon in the sky, and silently utter our most sincere wishes or blessings before leaving the bridge without lingering.
As soon as Xia Mo stopped on the arched bridge, she felt a stranger quickly approach her, seemingly about to reach behind her and hug her.
The other party's methods were simple and brutal. They just wanted to destroy Xia Mo's innocence. How could a girl who had lost her innocence still have the face to marry Huangfu Qian?
In the eyes of those who plotted this scheme, if Xia Mo could not marry Huangfu Qian, it would be as if she had lost her backer.
The other party's intentions were not as simple as just holding Xia Mo.
The man who pounced on her deliberately opened his shirt, just waiting for them to embrace so he could easily tear his clothes open and press his skin against Xia Mo's body.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to take in the surrounding situation, and also paid attention to Lou Tingting and Princess He beside her. She noticed that the two of them were still praying earnestly and did not notice the danger behind them.
She realized that she was flanked by Princess He and Lou Tingting, and there was no way to dodge. If she went straight back, it would be the same as running into the lewd man's arms. What should she do?
Before the man behind her could get close, Xia Mo grabbed the arched bridge, leaped up, landed directly on the bridge railing, and then nimbly jumped up on tiptoe to land behind the lewd man.
As summer drew to a close, the lewd man lifted his shirt, only to be shocked to find that the woman he was about to embrace had already slipped away. Unable to stop himself, he plunged straight into the river with a loud "splash."
"Help! Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"
People on and around the bridge gasped in surprise.
Lou Tingting and Princess He, who were making a wish earnestly, opened their eyes in fright and looked around to find that Xia Mo was gone!
Thinking that Xia Mo had fallen into the river, the two hurriedly leaned over the railing to look into the river. They stretched most of their bodies out, unaware of the danger, and continued to lean out to try to see the situation in the river.
Summer's End: "..."
Xia Mo reached out and grabbed Lou Tingting and Princess He to prevent them from falling into the river.
Lou Tingting and Princess He turned around and saw Xia Mo standing behind them, perfectly fine. At that moment, their eyes welled up with tears.
Princess He roared at Xia Mo in a panic, "Xia Mo, are you trying to scare us to death?!"
Xia Mo frowned slightly, looking into Princess He's eyes. Through Princess He's eyes, she could see directly into Princess He's heart. Then, she relaxed her brows, but she was still somewhat displeased.
