Shu He had a gloomy face, and a demon from hell seemed to emerge from his cold eyes, dark and cold, with boundless murderous intent!

Baili Moqing wanted to push Nangong Xiyun away, but his eyes fell on Shu He who was walking towards him step by step, and he suddenly stopped moving.

Nangong Xiyun was delighted when she saw Baili Moqing didn't push him away, thinking that he was going to accept her. But before she could open her mouth to say anything, she noticed a shadow appear above her head.

"What are you going to do?"

Nangong Xiyun stood up and met Shu He's eyes. Her arrogant expression suddenly weakened, and a hint of fear appeared in her bright eyes. "You, what do you want to do?"

"Who allowed you to touch my child?!" Shu He stretched out his hand, instantly grabbed Nangong Xiyun's neck, and lifted her up.

She is indeed one of the ten most beautiful women in Kyoto. Her fair and smooth neck feels extremely soft, as if she could break it with just a little force.

Shu He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the strength in his hands gradually increased.

"Cousin, cousin, save me..."

Nangong Xiyun felt cold all over and didn't even dare to look at Shu He's murderous eyes.

She reached out to Baili Moqing, hoping he could save her.

Unfortunately, out of the corner of her eye, she only saw his cold profile.

Shu He seemed to have lost his mind due to murderous intent, and the strength in his hands continued to tighten until Nangong Xiyun's eyes turned white.

Zhang Bo couldn't bear it and started to persuade her, "Madam He, you can't kill anyone!"

The two cooks were also frightened by Shu He at this time. They hid behind the door and even doubted whether the friendly person they met in the afternoon was the same Shu He in front of them.

Shu He was unmoved. At this moment, she only wanted to kill Nangong Xiyun! Because she had sworn that she would never allow anyone to hurt Xiao Yier again!

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, the light was no longer warm, and a breeze blew in from outside the house, carrying with it a very cold chill.

Seeing that Nangong Xiyun was about to be strangled to death, Baili Moqing could no longer sit still, "Madam, could you please show some mercy?"

But Shu He remained unmoved and looked as if he was going to kill him.

Nangong Xiyun stood on tiptoe, and the hem of her red skirt fluttered above the bluestone slabs.

"Even if it's because we helped you before, can you spare her life?" Baili Moqing spoke again.

This was the first time in his life that he asked someone for help.

After all, she was my uncle's biological daughter, so it wouldn't be good to let her die in front of him at the hands of an outsider...

Shu He glanced at Baili Moqing. His expression was calm and no different from before, as if the words of plea just now were not said by him.

She loosened her grip and pushed the person out fiercely.

Nangong Xiyun fell to the spot where Xiao Yier had just fallen, and her buttocks hit the steps hard. But at this moment, she could not feel the pain there, and only instinctively took a deep breath!

This was the first time in her life that she felt the fear of death so closely.

"I'll kill you!"

At this moment, Nangong Xiyun coughed violently and looked at Shu He with a pair of extremely vicious eyes.

Shu He did not hide the mockery on her face at all. She really couldn't understand why such a beautiful woman only had a pretty face but no brains at all?

At this time, she actually threatened her and dared to provoke her!

"My father is the commander-in-chief of the Northwest National Defense Army. I will let my father kill you!" Nangong Xiyun screamed madly.

"Really?" Shu He sneered and walked towards her. "If that's the case, why don't I just kill you right now? That way, you won't have the chance to do anything stupid, right?"

Seeing Shu He approaching step by step, Nangong Xiyun's face finally turned into fear again, and she kept backing away.

"Uncle Zhang, send my cousin back to her room. She is not allowed to go out without my permission!" Baili Moqing concealed the disgust in his eyes and spoke quickly.

After receiving the order, Zhang Bo immediately helped Nangong Xiyun up from the ground before Shu He did anything. Before Shu He could move, he pulled her towards the side room in the backyard.

Nangong Xiyun stopped provoking, but her vicious eyes told Shu He that she would not let her go so easily!

Only after Zhang Bo and Nangong Xiyun left did Xiao Yier dare to show her head. Baili Moqing saw that there were still two tear marks on her face, and she felt an inexplicable chill emanating from her body.

If Nanqi were here, he would definitely be able to guess his thoughts. It seems that Nangong Xiyun has to leave!

Coincidentally, Xiao Yier saw the cold aura emanating from Baili Moqing, and a hint of fear appeared on her face.

Seeing this, he quickly restrained his breath, and his whole body became unusually gentle again. "Xiao Yi'er, are you hurt?"

Before Yi'er could say anything, she heard Shu He's cold voice, "This time, we're even! If you can't control your woman again, next time, no one will be able to save face!"

Baili Moqing's face froze. This was the first time a woman had spoken to him in such a tone. If it were him in the past, he would never allow someone to look down on him like this, to threaten him like this!

But now, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't do anything...

Shu He was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Xiao Yier seemed to be unable to bear seeing Baili Moqing's melancholy expression, so she stretched out her hand towards him, "Brother Immortal, give me a hug!"

"Yier?!"

Shu He looked at her in confusion. Why was she always so dependent on and fond of Baili Moqing?

"Mom, I want my brother to hug me, okay?"

Xiao Yier looked up, looking at her with grievance and pity, tears in her eyes, which made it impossible for her to refuse.

"Mother~!"

Xiao Yier used her trump card again, and Shu He had no choice but to surrender and let her go.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she ran happily towards Baili Moqing, as if that person was her mother!

Shu He couldn't help but feel sad and lost.

The two wild wolves outside were taken care of by the two cooks.

That's wolf meat, which normally no one would eat. But the sudden heavy snow caused their food to be consumed very quickly, and they couldn't go out hunting every day in the south!

Therefore, the two of them discussed with Uncle Zhang to see if the wolf meat could be used in case of emergency.

Uncle Zhang agreed, but still said that he would try it himself first, and if he couldn't eat it, he would not want it.

Wolf meat was very fishy and tough. Seeing that they were planning to cook it, Shu He suggested that the two ladies pound the wolf meat for a while to loosen the tendons in the meat so that it would taste better.

Then she brought some herbs from next door to remove the fishy smell.

The two expressed their gratitude, but when they faced Shu He again, they no longer had the relaxation they had at noon, and there was a hint of alienation and fear in their words.

This is human nature, and Shu He didn't mind.

Back in the front hall, Xiao Yier rested her hands on Baili Moqing's knees, looking at him with blinking eyes, her little face full of happiness.

"Yier, why do you keep looking at me like this?" Baili Moqing met her gaze, and unknowingly, his heart softened, and even his voice sounded much warmer.

Xiao Yier tilted her head and thought seriously for a moment, but she couldn't figure it out. She just said, "I don't know, I just like him. I always feel that brother should be like mother, someone Yier likes very much!"

Baili Moqing didn't think anything of it, but Shu He, who was standing beside him, seemed a little frightened.

"Brother, why are you sitting here all the time? Can you please get up and play with Yi'er?"

Xiao Yier tried to pull his hand, but her limited strength was not enough to move the man's body.

Seeing that his expression had turned even colder, she paused for a moment, "Brother, are you unhappy? Did Yi'er do something wrong?"

Shu He immediately walked in upon seeing this. She picked up Yi'er and said to her seriously, "Yi'er, you can't call him brother."

Xiao Yi'er didn't understand. She opened her eyes wide with confusion and asked, "Why, mother, if you don't call me brother, then what should I call you brother?"

Shu He glanced at Baili Moqing. His handsome face, like a banished immortal, was calm and composed, like a lifeless figure in a painting.

Noticing Shu He's eyes, his expression became even more indifferent, and he picked up a cup of hot tea from the table next to him.

"Call him uncle!"

"Cough cough cough..."

A muffled cough sounded, making Zhang Bo, who had just entered the hall, very nervous. "Oh, sir, what's wrong? Did you choke?"
