Surprise! The prince is busy reading the princess' mind while raising a child!

Xiaohua gritted her teeth, got out of bed, blew out the candle, and the room suddenly became dark.

Thinking of what the young lady had said, that when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins, she silently took out a stick as thick as her wrist from behind the door, held it tightly in her hand, and hid behind the door.

She bit her lower lip tightly and held her breath. She didn't dare to shout, because even if she did, it would be too late. Some of the people in the new house nearby had gone to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots, and some were sleeping in the orchard.

The cook and his apprentice also moved to the orchard, because the peaches were about to be harvested.

My house is quite far from the village and near the foot of the mountain, so shouting is useless.

That's why the young lady and her husband assigned themselves a secret guard.

Unfortunately, he is not here!

Thinking of this, Xiaohua's tears gushed out like running water.

She wanted to live a good life, and also wanted to find a man who was devoted to her like her son-in-law, and live a peaceful and happy life.

Yes! She has to protect herself!

Xiaohua bit her tongue hard and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Her heart was in her throat and her palms were full of cold sweat, soaking the tightly clenched stick.

Outside the door, heavy breathing accompanied by the harsh friction of metal and wood, each impact was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the window frame, barely outlining the outlines of several dark shadows at the door.

"Brother San, hurry up! I can't wait!"

"That's right, that little girl is becoming more and more attractive. It's a rare occasion that she's home alone today!"

"Stop arguing, open it!"

Xiaohua suppressed her fear, staring at the gap that was about to be pried open, and silently repeated in her heart, "Don't panic, don't panic."

The door hinges creaked under the heavy weight; the gap gradually widened, letting in a hint of ominous cold wind.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her stance, and raised her stick high, ready to face the impending threat.

The noise outside the door seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air was filled with a mixture of tension and despair.

Then, a man bent over, stealthily opened the door and entered the room.

In a flash, Xiaohua used all her strength to swing the stick at the man.

Unexpectedly, the stick broke when it hit him!

The man turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly flashing with surprise: "She's here!"

Almost in an instant, five men rushed in and rushed towards Xiaohua~

The man in the front stuffed a piece of cloth into Xiaohua's mouth, then suddenly hugged Xiaohua to his arms, sniffed the faint floral scent on her body, and whispered: "I would be willing to die if I can sleep with her once!"

After saying that, he suddenly picked up Xiaohua and walked towards the bed. The hands of several others also touched her delicate body in the dark night...

Xiaohua was thrown on the bed. She struggled hard, scratched with her hands, kicked with her feet, but she couldn't get away at all. Her eyes were already blurred with tears...

When her coat was torn open and a shirtless man rushed towards her, Xiaohua closed her eyes. She was ready to bite her tongue and commit suicide, rather than be abused by these people...

At the critical moment, an agile black shadow jumped in from the window like a cheetah in the dark night, and the moonlight just outlined his grim silhouette.

He tapped the ground with his toes, used the force to push off, and leaped up, launching a fierce side kick that accurately hit the chest of the man who was about to violate Xiaohua.

The man flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a dull howl amidst the flying dust.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. The others were shocked and turned to look at the uninvited guest.

He had a tall and straight figure, eyes as sharp as torches, and held a long sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword lightly tapping the ground, making a subtle and crisp sound. The eyes behind the mask were bloodshot and full of murderous intent!

"You all deserve to die!"

The black-clothed man's long sword swept past, and in an instant, the five men's throats were cut, and then they fell to the ground with frightened eyes.

Finally, they realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, and that the other person had shown mercy to them the previous times...

Unfortunately, they escaped death several times but did not know how to cherish it. It is truly their own fault!

From tonight onwards, the five tigers of the He family will completely disappear from Hejia Village...

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiaohua's eyes widened, full of disbelief and relief for surviving the disaster, tears and sweat intertwined, blurring her vision~

Ye Jiu!

Ye Jiu is back!

Xiaohua took the cloth from her mouth, and tears burst out like a flood...

Ye Jiu grabbed the thin quilt at the head of the bed and quickly and gently covered his master's disheveled body with it. On the fair skin, the purple handprints burned Ye Jiu's eyes deeply...

"Master, I'm sorry to have frightened you..."

Ye Jiu picked up Xiaohua, who was wrapped in a quilt, carried her to his room, put her on his bed, and then lit a candle.

"Don't turn on the light!" Xiaohua's eyes were red. She suddenly didn't want Ye Jiu to see her in such a miserable state.

"Okay, then I won't light the lamp. Master, you lie here for a while, I'll go clean up your room~"

"Yeah." Xiaohua on the bed responded with a sob.

Ye Jiu gritted his teeth, stood up and walked out of the room.

He transported the bodies of the five tigers of the He family to the mountains in several batches and threw them off a cliff where wolves, insects, tigers and leopards often appeared. The damned ones stayed there!

Ye Jiu returned to the room, cleaned up the bloodstains on the floor, cleaned up the traces of the Five Tigers of the He family, and changed the bedding on the master's bed.

He looked around the house. The master probably wouldn't live here anymore...

Finally, he cleared away the five people's footprints at the door, on the wall, and in the yard, put the ladder back into the He family's yard, and then returned to his room quietly.

The room was still dark, but Ye Jiu instantly sensed where his master was by relying on her breathing.

"Master, I am Ye Jiu. I have already dealt with those people. But it is Ye Jiu's fault that the master is in danger. Please punish me!"

After saying that, Ye Jiu knelt on the ground.

He was filled with mixed feelings and began to reflect on himself. Perhaps when he first came here, he felt that he was here to complete a mission and did not really take his master to heart.

The moment he rushed into the house and saw his master being bullied, he really regretted it!

With his head on the ground, Ye Jiu felt truly remorseful.

There was no sound from inside the bed.

Ye Jiu shivered with fear, and quickly got up, rolled and crawled, rushed to the bed, opened the bed curtains, and the scene before him hurt him again!

I saw my little master curled up tightly in a corner, taking a nap like a chicken pecking at rice...

"Master, master..."

Ye Jiu gently opened the bed curtain and hung it up, saying softly: "Master, don't be afraid! Ye Jiu is here!"

Ye Jiu was kneeling in front of the bed, looking into Xiaohua's frightened eyes, and slowly stretched out his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!"
