My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

This person is definitely not born in the year!

When he raised his head, everyone could see his face clearly.

He was wearing a mask, and his figure was very similar to Nian Sheng. In the dark night, the black cloth covering his face looked extremely similar to the mask, so people made a mistake.

It happened in a flash. The man grabbed Die Jiu's arm and pulled her towards the cliff.

Xinyi yelled and grabbed Diejiu's dress, but her strength was no match for that man's. Xinyi only grabbed a piece of cloth, and Diejiu was already pulled over by that man...

Die Jiu screamed in shock, and the man took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it straight into Die Jiu's heart.

At this critical moment, the Fourteenth Prince suddenly raised his arm, and then more than a dozen darts flew past Die Jiu's ears. Die Jiu watched the darts pierce the man's throat, and the dagger in his hand fell on the cliff with a clang...

The man staggered back and forth twice, his other hand still tightly grasping Die Jiu's collar.

The Fourteenth Prince rushed forward, put aside his joy, and quickly took Die Jiu back and held her tightly in his arms.

The man showed an evil sneer at the corner of his mouth, covered his bloody throat and shouted, then rushed straight towards the Fourteenth Prince and Die Jiu...

Wen Qiqi chose the right opportunity and kicked him on the top of his head. The next second, the man rolled down the cliff and let out a miserable howl!

"Seven seven..."

The Thirteenth Prince led everyone back from the other end of the cliff along the iron chain.

Seeing the man who had rolled down the cliff hanging on a century-old banyan tree and still struggling desperately, they immediately sent people down to tie him up and keep him alive.

Wen Qiqi and Xinyi hurried to check if Diejiu was injured. Diejiu's face turned red and she stammered, "It's all my fault. I can't do anything to help, but I always make trouble. I made the young lady worry about me..."

"This is not your fault. This person is extremely cunning. He even dragged innocent people with him before his death. It seems that the people of East City are more difficult to deal with than we thought. We must be more careful in the future."

Wen Qiqi comforted Die Jiu: "Today is also thanks to the Fourteenth Prince, otherwise, I'm afraid you would not even have your life now."

"Thank you, Fourteenth Prince."

Die Jiu looked at the Fourteenth Prince. She could not forget the feeling of the Fourteenth Prince holding her tightly in his heart just now.

The Fourteenth Prince's arms were very strong, and when he was protecting Die Jiu, that feeling of solidity and security would make any girl fall for him!

But Diejiu knew her identity very well and understood the huge difference between a servant and a master, so she didn't dare to think too much.

But Xinyi could see that Diejiu had developed an unusual affection for the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince's help this time made Diejiu even more distracted...

"Xiaojiu, the Fourteenth Prince's help was just accidental. You'd better sober up."

Xinyi whispered to Diejiu, and Diejiu's heart tightened: "I never worried too much..."

"You did! You and I grew up together, how could I not see through your mind."

Xinyi glared at Diejiu and said, "You and I are both Miss's servants, and we grew up in the Wen Mansion! We agreed to protect Miss and accompany her for the rest of our lives. I hope you don't have some unrealistic dreams just because of the Fourteenth Prince's simple favor."

On the way back, Xinyi and Diejiu whispered coldly, seeming to be dissatisfied.

Niansheng, the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, and Wen Qiqi were all busy discussing the spies tonight and didn't pay attention to the two. When they arrived at the military camp, the Fourteenth Prince suddenly turned around and looked at Die Jiu who was about to go back to the tent to rest...

"Diejiu, today's incident is not your fault. We also admitted our mistake at that time. You don't have to blame yourself. As the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future!"

Future blessings?

She is just a servant girl, what blessing can she have in the future?

Die Jiu swallowed and thanked the Fourteenth Prince again. Before she could finish her words, she was dragged back to the tent by Xinyi.

The Fourteenth Prince smiled. He looked after Die Jiu with such care, just like an elder sister looking after her younger sister. It was really interesting.

In the tent, Xinyi's eyes were red with anger. She looked at Diejiu and yelled, "You still say that you are not attracted to the Fourteenth Prince? When he was talking to you just now, why were you blushing? Why was your heart beating? Do you think I am blind and didn't see it?"

"Thoughts..."

Die Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and almost cried because of the grievance.

She and Xinyi grew up together, sleeping in the same bed since childhood, and living in the same bedroom when they grew up.

The two had never been apart. Even when they were in the Lu residence, when Xinyi, Mengyi and Ruyi were sent to the garden by Lu Shengshi to do rough work, Diejiu would find ways to secretly visit them every day...

Among the four girls, Diejiu and Xinyi are a year or two older and have the best relationship.

Mengyi and Ruyi are young, so Diejiu only treats them as sisters...

I didn't expect that in the eyes of my beloved, I was such a person who was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

"Heartfelt, you're right!"

Die Jiu was furious. Tonight she was almost stabbed in the heart by that man's dagger.

Between life and death, she managed to save her life, but was scolded by her heart all the way...

"You are right! All right! I am attracted to the Fourteenth Prince! He is great, good in every way! If I were a lady, I would have chosen the Fourteenth Prince! Now, you should be satisfied, right?"

Xinyi was so angry at Diejiu's words that she clenched her teeth and rushed over in two steps.

"Diejiu, what nonsense are you talking about! You actually like the Fourteenth Prince... You are a servant! Wake up! Even if the young lady treats you and me better, the Wen family has never treated us like maids. But the fact that you and I are servants will never change!"

Xinyi is actually a man of few words, so he appears calm and mature.

But the words out of my mouth today are like the firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, they are "crackling" and can't be stopped.

"We are sisters, so I am kindly reminding you! There are some dreams you should never have, otherwise, when you wake up, you will find that it was a nightmare! You... are not the young lady, and the Fourteenth Prince's pity for you is only because the young lady loves you and loves everyone in your house!"

The words he spoke became more and more cruel, and Die Jiu could no longer hold back.

What she said was right, all right, and he had never thought of overstepping his authority. He always remembered that he grew up in the Wen Mansion and was a servant born in the family.

But these words may be said by others, but how can one express one's true feelings?

"You and I are both servants. We both grew up serving the young lady. You should know what kind of person I am... Yes, I like the Fourteenth Prince. I had a dream that I shouldn't have had, but I was also secretly happy in my heart, and no one else knew about it. Could it be that I don't even have the right to be happy in my heart?"

Die Jiu choked with sobs and wiped the tears from her face fiercely.

"When did it start……"

"When I first met the Fourteenth Prince, I thought he was a very nice person. Later, when we broke the beehive under the cliff, he carried me on his back and used his body to protect me from being stung by the bees... I started to like him even more! But, it's just a good impression!"
