She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 869: Chapter 867: The Transmigrated Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 11

Xiao Qing felt speechless, just because the man who was chased wanted to stick to the convoy for reasons that sounded quite justified.

Firstly, there was a debt of gratitude for saving his life, so he couldn’t just leave without repaying it. Secondly, he was severely injured and feared that the black-clad men pursuing him hadn’t gone far. If he left the convoy, he might not survive.

If it were Xiao Qing himself, he would surely leave promptly, without paying attention to this thick-skinned person.

But...

"Miss, I’m truly out of options. I hope I can follow your convoy. I will never forget today’s kindness," Mo Ying said weakly, his handsome face ashen as if he could faint at any moment, "I have some skills. If Miss doesn’t mind, once I’m healed, I’d like to stay by your side and be a guard to protect you with my life."

All of this was Mo Ying’s own scheme, so he naturally didn’t feel that the commissioner genuinely saved his life, nor did he truly intend to repay any kind of kindness.

Besides, someone like him was always cold-hearted. Perhaps he felt some gratitude towards those who helped him, but such gratitude was insignificant compared to his own interests.

Yet, the commissioner didn’t know this. She genuinely thought Mo Ying was desperate and had luckily stumbled upon their convoy.

Worried about her lone journey to Capital City, unsure of what might happen in the future, Mo Ying’s words moved her. Considering the debt of gratitude, and Mo Ying’s skills, she might genuinely need his help in the future, so she decided to let him stay.

Little did she know she was keeping a troublemaker.

Keeping a man who had been injured in a certain way from practicing martial arts beside her, she was his only remedy, a dangerous situation indeed.

"Guard Xiao, why not let him stay with the convoy? If those black-clad men haven’t gone far, he might be quickly pursued if he leaves," Ah Chen spoke, "Those black-clad men seem to slash at everyone they meet, they hardly seem good-hearted."

"Yes, Miss Qin." The black-clad men were not a match for their team, so Xiao Qing was unafraid. Since Qin Chen said so, he spoke no more, as the master had instructed to listen to her during the journey. He just didn’t want to bring people along, though it wasn’t much trouble.

There was only one carriage, and Mo Ying didn’t get inside but sat beside the coachman. Seeing this, Xiao Qing let him be.

"I have some herbs here, they’re for external injuries, Mr. Mo might find them useful," Ah Chen offered the herbs.

Mo Ying took them: "Thank you, Miss Qin, now that I am your guard, you can just call me Mo Ying."

Holding the herbs, he recalled how patient she was in the past lifetime when providing porridge, showing no disdain towards anyone, be they close or destitute beggars like him.

He had secretly watched her; in the previous life, this prestigious official’s wife was highly capable and lived a glamorous life envied by many. But in private moments, her face was full of worry.

In this reborn life, she hadn’t married yet. He would find every way to bring her to the Shadowless Building, far from the troubles in Capital City.

The journey ahead went smoothly with no further incidents.

Mo Ying’s injuries greatly improved, and he truly carried out his guard duties beside Ah Chen, with utmost dedication, even Xiao Qing couldn’t fault him.

Seeing Miss Qin accept it, he said no more, planning to report this matter to the master upon returning to the capital.

Regardless, Miss Qin was the master’s lifesaver, no matter the master’s thoughts, he must protect her.

The Capital City was certainly more prosperous.

Pei Hui had his own thoughts but didn’t let Ah Chen move directly into the Seventh Prince’s mansion, as he knew the commissioner had a character akin to intolerance. Unfortunately, as a prince, even though he hadn’t yet married a Main Wife, he had several concubines.

"This is the residence specially prepared for Miss Qin by the master, if there’s any dissatisfaction or need, please feel free to instruct," said the estate’s steward, face full of amicable smiles.

"The master is out on business today, he will come once he’s done."

Ah Chen nodded and walked into the estate.

Recently, Pei Hui was quite busy, not even visiting the rear courtyard, probably because he needed to lay plans upon returning to life.

But that was bound to happen sooner or later, she wasn’t in a hurry.

For Pei Hui, the lack of an heir was the greatest regret. Now that everyone had been brought back, he would surely come looking for her soon.

This estate also had many guards, but Xiao Qing left after delivering Ah Chen here, being Pei Hui’s key assistant, he certainly wouldn’t guard this small estate.

"To think this is the Seventh Prince’s convoy," after everyone left, Mo Ying remarked, "How did Miss Qin get involved with the Seventh Prince and now be placed in this estate?"

Saying this, a look of concern appeared on his face, yet inside he was puzzled.

Mo Ying didn’t know much about the Capital City affairs but knew one thing; in the previous life, Qin Chen and the Seventh Prince never had any entanglements, they hadn’t even faced each other.

Ah Chen briefly shared the story of saving Pei Hui, causing Mo Ying to ponder, unsure what to make of the situation.

Not meeting openly didn’t mean there was no private contact.

Even having lived a lifetime, Mo Ying didn’t know the course of Qin Chen’s previous life, only that she was Ji Qing’s wife and a skilled businesswoman.

"Miss Qin must be tired, do rest first, later if you wish to go out, just call me," Mo Ying suggested.

Ah Chen asked: "Don’t you have your own things to do? It was Guard Xiao who saved you, I didn’t do anything, you don’t have to stay close to me."

"But it was Miss Qin who allowed me to stay with the convoy. If not for you, those black-clad men might have already claimed my life," Mo Ying replied, then added sentimentally, "I’m currently without kin or ties, temporarily without affairs, having promised to be your guard, I cannot renege. Besides, now that you’re involved with the Seventh Prince, I cannot just leave."

"For the Seventh Prince to place Miss Qin here, I truly don’t know what his intentions are, it unsettles me."

Being a man himself, he had some guesses. To bring a woman over thousands of miles, what could the intention be? If truly a debt of gratitude, it wouldn’t be like this.

Mo Ying felt uneasy, as if something belonging to him was being coveted.

Sometimes he even thought of just whisking her away.

Yet due to experiences in the past life, he harbored some gratitude towards Qin Chen, currently thinking to win over her heart, forcefully taking her wasn’t the right approach.

With the Seventh Prince present, he believed there was always a chance to have Qin Chen willingly follow him.

Seeing the woman before him silent, Mo Ying said: "Miss Qin, don’t worry, if anything happens, I will definitely protect you."

The commissioner indeed believed.

Thinking Mo Ying, for the debt of gratitude, could truly help her.

So upon discovering Pei Hui wasn’t kind, she sought to escape, consulting Mo Ying first.

Only to find, avoiding the wolf, she met the tiger instead.
