However, in this life, Banxia, like a demon rising from hell, she carried a lifetime of vengeance, and she would definitely not let that mother-daughter duo to have an easy life.
*********
The carriage drove on the road for five or six days and finally arrived in the capital.
Just as before they arrived at the capital, Banxia heard the sound of arrows, and the horses suddenly galloped wildly as if frightened.
Then she heard her stepmother anxiously saying: "Ah, hurry up, my daughter is on that carriage, please save her! If something happen to my daughter, I won't be able to live either..."
Whoever heard this would be very moved, but Banxia was not moved at all.
In her previous life, similar 'accident' also happened. It wasn't a coincidence that her horses were frightened. She wouldn't believe it if Madam Jin didn't have a hand on this.
"Miss, ah! What should we do? What should we do?"
The carriage ran and bumped around wildly, and the two of them were so shaken by the jolts on the carriage that Shaoyao couldn't help but cried loudly.
However, Banxia sat calmly in the carriage without crying or make a fuss, because she knew she will be saved by a young general, who coincidentally was also on his way to the capital, and it will likely be the same in this life.
All the pedestrians looked at the frightened horses, they looked so worried but unable to do anything.
Seeing that the carriage was about to rush down the hillside and fall down, the people on the carriage would be in graved danger.
Suddenly, a white figure passed by.
He rode a thousand-mile white horse and ran as fast as the wind, chasing the carriage dragged by those frightened horses who were running rampage.
The moment that carriage was about to fall down the hillside, the man in white jumped directly onto the frightened horse's back.
At the critical moment, he pulled the reins handsomely and turned the horse's head with great strength.
The frightened horses turned away from the hillside and continued to crash wildly.
She saw that man in white, tearing off his clothes and covering the eyes of the frightened horse.
Slowly, the frightened horses finally calmed down, and instantly the carriage stopped before it fell down.
When the passers-by saw that the danger has been alleviated, they gathered around and praised the man in white: "What a great skill, what a hero!"
The young general Jun Han was very pleased for being praised by the audiences.
Meanwhile, Shaoyao was so frightened that her hands and feet were trembling even now.
Yao Banxia stepped out of the carriage with a calm face, not at all frightened. Instead, she was as tranquil as water, as if she wasn't the person in that dangerous carriage at all.
She immediately pulled out the short arrow that frightened the horse and stuffed it into her sleeve secretly.
Jun Han frowned, unable to understand the action of the young lady.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life." Yao Banxia saluted politely.
The young general, Jun Han, has always been unruly and lived a carefree life when he was growing up in the military camp.
When he saw Banxia's expression, which was not frightened at all, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Heh, you're just pretending to be calm." This was the young general Jun Han's comment.
When encountering such dangerous things, men will panic, let alone women. He hates this kind of women who pretend to be calm and always act so pretentious.
Yao Banxia still had no expression on her face, and she wasn't angry at the young general's words.
She thanked her again and took the frightened Shaoyao away.
The disdainful little general snorted coldly: "If I had known she was such a pretentious lady, I wouldn't have saved her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Banxia walking away.
Her walking posture was as smooth as water, without any confusion, and her strength was moderate and her legs were not swaying or trembling at all.
Banxia's walking posture was in stark contrast to Shaoyao's frightened legs.
The young general's beautiful phoenix eyes showed a smile. So, she was really not pretending? This young lady was really not afraid. Interesting, truly interesting!
"Master, are you okay?" Daonan, the servant next to Jun Han, chased after him and asked worriedly.
Jun Han retracted his thoughts: "Do you think this young master would be in trouble?"
Dao Nancai said relieved: "Young master, you must not be so reckless in the future. If something happen to you, the Old Marshal will kill this servant."
Jun Han laughed: "So you are not worried about me, but your life!"
Daonan curled his lips: "Of course this servant's life is not as important as the young master's."
"Pa..." With a sound, Jun Han gave Daonan a slap on the head: "You brat, you really know how to speak. I can't do anything to you."
Daonan chuckled, and quickly followed: "Young master, I have already inquired. That lady in the carriage is a young lady raised by the family of Marquis Yao in the countryside. She has just been brought back to the capital."
Jun Han snorted: "Who asked you to inquire about this? It's really troublesome."
While he spoke as if he was annoyed, the smile on his face did not diminish at all, Daonan knew that the young master said that he was troublesome, but he was actually feeling satisfied in his heart.
**********
"That little bitch actually didn't die. It's really hateful." On the carriage, Yao Qingdai's eyes were red in anger.
Madam Jin quickly looked around to see if there was anyone outside the carriage, and then comforted her daughter in a low voice: "Why are you so anxious? Since she is back to the mansion, there will be many ways to kill her."
At the critical moment, he pulled the reins handsomely and turned the horse's head with great strength.
The frightened horses turned away from the hillside and continued to crash wildly.

"That little bitch actually didn't die. It's really hateful." On the carriage, Yao Qingdai's eyes were red in anger.
Madam Jin quickly looked around to see if there was anyone outside the carriage, and then comforted her daughter in a low voice: "Why are you so anxious? Since she is back to the mansion, there will be many ways to kill her."
"Mother, why do you think she is so lucky?"
"Hmph! She really got a great luck. However, it doesn't matter, when she fall into mother's hands, even if she turns into a heavenly monkey, she wouldn't be able to escape from Wuzhi Mountain built by me, your mother. Look at her useless brothers! Aren't the examples pretty obvious?"
"Hmph! She really got a great luck. However, it doesn't matter, when she fall into mother's hands, even if she turns into a heavenly monkey, she wouldn't be able to escape from Wuzhi Mountain built by me, your mother. Look at her useless brothers! Aren't the examples pretty obvious?"
After hearing this, Yao Qingdai smiled with satisfaction.
Thinking of those three losers who would soon die, Qingdai felt even more happy. From now on, the position of marquis could only belong to her younger brother.
The carriage stopped, and Madam Jin immediately took Banxia into the house with great enthusiasm.
She told everyone that Banxia was the legitimate daughter in the house, and asked the servants to serve her carefully. If they neglect their duties to serve Banxia, they'll be punished heavily.
Yao Banxia only gave smiles to those servants and said nothing from the beginning to the end.
Thinking back to her previous life, she acted like a fool and followed each words from Madam Jin, her vicious stepmother. She thought that Madam Jin was trying to help her to establish her authority, so she behaved arrogantly.
At this moment, she could see clearly that Madam Jin was trying to establish an arrogant image for her, so that the servants in the mansion wouldn't have a good impression for her from the beginning.
As the saying goes, water can carry a boat or capsize it. Even though they were just some inconspicuous servants, they will be of great use in the future.
Listening to madam's words, all the servants were a little worried about this young lady's character. After all, they had never had any contact with her and were afraid that they wouldn't be able to serve her well.
However, they saw that the young lady is always smiling and well-behaved. She doesn’t have any airs at all and seems to be very easy to get along with. She is not as cunning and arrogant as the rumors said!
"Let's go and visit your grandmother first. Your father should be waiting for your return at your grandmother's place right now."
"Thank you, mother."
Yao Banxia's attitude was always polite and distant, and it made it impossible to find any faults with her.
During the whole time, Banxia always smiled at those servants, and this made Madam Jin fumed with anger.
She had tried her best to help and 'flatter' her, but this Banxia just didn't fall into the trap, which really pissed her off.
Marquis Yao's Mansion was endowed with a large courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits. The pavilions, the beautiful patterns carved on the beams, and the painted high pillars, they all made everything look exquisite no matter where your eyes look.
It was very unique and comfortable. The floor has been cleaned by the servants, and not a single leaf or dust can be found on the blue stone-bricks.
Walking along the small bridge in the back garden, one will see the Anhe Courtyard next to the garden, which is where her grandmother, the old marchioness, lived.
"Grandma, grandma, this granddaughter misses you so much!"
As soon as Qingdai entered, she immediately looked very lively, hugging the old woman on the high seat and acting coquettishly.
The old Marchioness also doted on her granddaughter, who was the most beautiful lady in the capital. She said distressedly: "It was a bumpy ride, my granddaughter must be tired."
Madam Jin stepped forward with a smile: "Mother, how could she be tired? There was a carriage along the way and there was no need to walk. Moreover, she went there to pick up her own sister to go home. How dare she says she is tired."
Yao Banxia stood in the hall, watching them laughing and talking, as if she was an outsider and not part of the family members.
Thinking of those three losers who would soon die, Qingdai felt even more happy. From now on, the position of marquis could only belong to her younger brother.
