Mei Wanying and Ling were Pei Yan's weaknesses, so the trusted guards assigned to them were the best of the best.
In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, the sounds of fighting stopped.
Mei Wanying placed her daughter on the soft couch. "Be a good girl and stay here. Mother is going down to check on the situation."
Ling was brave and immensely curious, and she really wanted to get out of the carriage to see.
But she didn't want her mother to go.
She grabbed Mei Wanying's hand, her large, clear eyes filled with unease. "Mother will be scared, and you might get hurt."
Her father had said that her mother was timid and needed his constant protection.
When they slept at night, Father always slept on the outer side of the bed, protecting Mother on the inside.
'Mother doesn't know how to fight, what if someone hurts her?'
'Besides, Mother has a baby brother or sister in her belly, so she could get hurt even more easily.'
Ling was worried.
