The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 208: A Step Too Late

Translator: Vesper

Instinctively, Ning Meng Yao stretched her weak hand and grabbed the edge of the carriage’s window. Even though she struggled to balance her body in the carriage, she ended up being thrown to the side of the carriage and bumping her back on the wall.

The pain made Ning Meng Yao frown and she suddenly she thought of the pills that Qing Shuang prepared for her.

She strenuously reached for her neck and pulled out a small kit.

The carriage seemed to have ran over a big stone which made it shook once more. The kit in Ning Meng Yao’s hand fell off and the pills rolled out.

Ning Meng Yao stretched her body to reach out for a pill. She had to find a way to save herself, but things were not going smoothly.

It was as if the carriage was making things hard for her on purpose. When the pill was almost in her grasp, the carriage jumped once more and the pills rolled away again.

When Qiao Tian Yu saw the carriage riding away madly, he had a bad feeling. When he wanted to leave the battle to save the person inside, he was seized by the people in black clothes.

Right at that moment, he realized that the target of these people in black was Ning Meng Yao. They wanted Ning Meng Yao’s life. If Ning Meng Yao had died in the hands of his people, then Qiao Tian Chang would definitely come after them, whether or not they were really related to Ning Meng Yao’s death.

Just as the realization came to Qiao Tian Yu, the carriage ran into a tree by the roadside. Seeing that, there was only one thought in his heart: they were finished.

The carriage hit the tree and broke apart. Ning Meng Yao, who was inside the carriage, was thrown and her back slammed into a tree trunk.

Ning Meng Yao only felt pain. A really sharp pain.

She subconsciously touched her stomach. Her face was pale and beads of sweat were rolling down her forehead.

Ning Meng Yao could gradually smell a trace of blood and she panicked, as if something was leaving her.

The injury on her back wasn’t as painful as the one at her abdomen. Ning Meng Yao’s face was unpleasant, as the blood gradually stained her dress red.

Far away, Qiao Tian Yu naturally knew what had happened.

When Xiao Qi Tian rushed to the scene, he saw the pale Ning Meng Yao lying under the tree, with her dress stained with blood.

“Go and have a look.” Fortunately among those who followed Xiao Yu Tian, some of them were equipped with medical skills. Otherwise, the situation would become even more troublesome.

They rushed towards Ning Meng Yao and checked her pulse. Their expressions changed instantly: “Your Highness, we must send her back to the capital immediately.”

“What happened?

“This Young Mistress has a miscarriage.”

Xiao Yu Tian’s eyes widened, he subconsciously took a few steps back. He couldn’t believe what he heard: “Are you sure? Have you checked clearly?”

“Yes, she has been pregnant for a month, but it’s now...”

Before the sentence was completed, Xiao Yu Tian already knew what he meant: “Try to stop her bleeding first, then escort her back to the palace immediately. One more thing, everyone here must not be let off. Capture them and bring them all back with us.”

Ning Meng Yao was now in a coma. If she knew that her child was gone, who knew how she would she react, and Qiao Tian Chang as well?

After he married Ning Meng Yao, he had hinted countless times that he wanted a child. He said that their family would be perfect with children.

Now that the child was gone because of these people, Xiao Qi Tian didn’t even have to think about what consequences lie ahead for the Qiao family and those people in black.

He mustn’t let them escape, otherwise he couldn’t give Qiao Tian Chang an explanation.

He was already late by a step. If he was here a little earlier, things might not develop to this point.

“Yes, Your Highness.” After Qiao Tian Chang informed Xiao Yu Tian, he had taken his own secret soldiers and rushed towards the scene without any delay, but he was still late by a step.

Xiao Yu Tian’s secret soldiers attacked the men in black clothes. Those men in black clothes who were engaged in the fight fell very soon. As for those who knew they were no match against Xiao Qi Tian they poisoned themselves.
