Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Not long after, Tao Jiuxi, who was lying on the roof, saw the nanny jogging back with quick steps, and following her was the second son of the eldest house, who was incompetent and very lustful.

The second young master had apparently already gone to bed; his hair was a bit disheveled, a few strands casually scattered across his forehead. His outer garment was untied, draped loosely around him, revealing his white undershirt beneath. His eyes were slightly narrowed, as if still a hint of sleepiness. But when he thought of something good that might happen, a malicious smile involuntarily played upon his lips.

There was a hint of greed in that smile, which made people feel disgusted.

When Tao Jiuxi saw this scene, he felt nauseous.

She frowned tightly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if only this could suppress the nausea in her heart.

When the two entered the room, they saw the old lady lying on the bed with disheveled clothes and a dazed look in her eyes, and they immediately panicked.

Mammy's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with shock.

The second young master was also stunned. His smile froze on his face in an instant, replaced by shock and helplessness.

"Isn't it the girl from the Tao family? Where is she?"

His eyes searched around the room, as if expecting the "girl from the Tao family" to suddenly appear.

"Madam, what happened to you?" The nanny ran to the bed in panic, her voice trembling.

The Second Young Master then turned his gaze towards the Old Lady, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He sighed helplessly, his tone tinged with complaint: "You must have messed it up."

"What should we do now?" The nanny stamped her feet anxiously.

"Of course I have to find someone. You know there is no antidote for this thing." The second young master was angry and spoke harshly.

"Who are you looking for?" the nanny asked in a panic.

"Everyone is eating now. I'll go to my yard and call Shitou over."

After saying that, the second young master ran out in panic.

The nanny was alone in the room, frantic as an ant on a hot pan.

She used a towel to wipe the old lady's body, and then she held a cup of water and tried to feed her water, but it was no use.

The old lady was still mumbling and pulling at her clothes, her eyes were blurred and her face was flushed, which made the nanny anxious but helpless.

After a while, the second young master hurriedly brought his people into the house.

The man who came was not dressed like a servant, but the lowest-ranking horse slave in the mansion.

The horse slave looked to be in his early twenties, with dark muscular body, emitting a healthy glow under the dim light.

The groom didn't know why he was called here, and he became a little flustered when he entered the house.

"Second Young Master, I can't do this..." The groom's face was full of fear, his voice trembling, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

The second young master frowned, his eyes revealing anxiety and impatience. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you one hundred taels after the matter is completed."

"One hundred taels?!"

When the groom heard such a huge sum of money, he struggled in his heart and took a few steps forward with gritted teeth.

Upon seeing this, the nanny and the second young master quickly closed the door and left.

But after walking a few steps, looking at the old lady's coquettish manner, the coachman really couldn't overcome the resistance in his heart.

He knocked on the door vigorously, his voice filled with fear: "Second Young Master, I really can't do anything..."

The nanny had no choice but to push the door open.

She took out a small packet of powdered medicine from the compartment of the cabinet, mixed it with water and asked the groom to drink it.

Although the groom resisted in his heart, he had no choice but to drink it under the pressure of the second young master and in order to earn the hundred taels.

Sure enough, after a while, the effect of the groom's medicine took effect.

His eyes became blurry, his breathing became rapid, and his body trembled involuntarily. His originally dark face gradually turned red, and his eyes slowly became blurry.

He tugged at his clothes randomly and walked towards the bed as if possessed.

"It's an eyesore! It's an eyesore!"

Tao Jiuxi muttered to himself and wanted to continue watching, but was pulled back by Shen Zhiyi's collar.

Shen Zhiyi was as light as a swallow. He jumped over several roofs and quickly left Xie's house with Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi was placed in front of Shen Zhiyi, and the two rode on the same horse, walking slowly on the deserted street.

"What a loving family! Grandma drugs women for her grandson, and her grandson conscripts men for her. It's amazing!"

Although Tao Jiuxi tried her best to make her voice sound calm and only reveal the pleasure of revenge, Shen Zhiyi, who was holding her from behind, could already feel her body trembling slightly.

He could deeply feel that Tao Jiuxi was actually afraid.

His tone was full of self-blame: "I'm late this time."

"Late? Didn't you know long ago that the Xie family is a den of tigers and wolves? How could it be late?" There was a hint of questioning in Tao Jiuxi's words.

Shen Zhiyi's grip suddenly tightened. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, "I sent secret guards to follow you when you arrived at the Xie Mansion. But on the day you returned from the polo match, you and Xie Jinghuan rode in the same carriage until we returned to the mansion. After he returned, he knelt and begged Ji Miaofu to marry you. I got angry and withdrew the secret guards."

"I don't care whether you withdraw the secret guards or not. If you didn't stop me from going out to find a house, I might have already lived outside with my sister. Why should I be controlled by others everywhere?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Tao Jiuxi's tone.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't be angry with you." Shen Zhiyi was full of regret at this moment.

He thought that even if the Xie family was evil, they would not dare to hurt Tao Jiuxi because they knew she was his.

He overestimated his own calculations and underestimated the courage of the Xie family.

But when the spy he planted in Tao Jiuxi's yard to sweep found him, Tao Jiuxi had already been imprisoned for three days.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Xie Jinghuan being knocked unconscious. He was about to go downstairs and take Tao Jiuxi away, but he saw what she did next.

It turned out that the person who always fawned over him was only like that to him, and was truly ruthless to others. But he clearly saw the panic and fear in her eyes, and at that moment, his heart seemed to be tugged at.

He couldn't imagine what he would do if something really happened to Tao Jiuxi.

Shen Zhiyi held Tao Jiuxi's hand, gradually tightening it, holding her firmly in his arms.

Tao Jiuxi was angry. He pulled up his hand, pulled up his wide sleeves to reveal part of his arm, and then bit it hard with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and resentment in his heart.

She didn't let go until her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

Looking at the deep bloody teeth marks, Tao Jiuxi slowly covered Shen Zhiyi with his sleeve again.

As if nothing happened.

Shen Zhiyi didn't say a word from beginning to end, just letting Tao Jiuxi vent.

Although he felt resentful, Tao Jiuxi had thought clearly these days that he could not put the blame on Shen Zhiyi. After all, it was not the Xie family who did it, and it was not Shen Zhiyi who told them to do it.

She only realized in the past few days how disgusting that family was.

If I had not gone to Shen Zhiyi's house by mistake, I would not know how badly I would be bullied by the people of the Xie family today.

If you think about it this way, it is actually a kind of luck to be protected by Shen Zhiyi for such a long time.

If she and Shen Zhiyi are destined to be together, she will plan to face the problems between them instead of choosing to escape.

Thinking of this, she decided not to leave.

"Let's go to Jian'an Temple early tomorrow morning." Tao Jiuxi's voice broke the silence of the night.

"us?"

"Don't you want to go?" Tao Jiuxi raised his head slightly and looked at Shen Zhiyi's profile.

"No, I thought you would blame me and ignore me."

"I should be angry for a while, but now I have to find my sister. Who told you to be the Duke? If I go to Jian'an Temple alone, I will be bullied again. You follow me and support me." Tao Jiuxi did not beat around the bush and expressed his thoughts directly.

She knew that Shen Zhiyi came to Xie Mansion to find her only because he was still thinking of her. Wouldn't it be stupid not to use this ready-made person?

"I will work hard in the future. There is a prince title above the Duke, and I will earn it all for you." Shen Zhiyi's tone was surprisingly serious at this moment. This was the happiest day of his becoming the Duke.

Shen Zhiyi was speaking seriously, but Tao Jiuxi suddenly saw some ink spots on the blue sleeve of Shen Zhiyi's arm that was holding the horse.

"Why is there so much blood..."

Tao Jiuxi grabbed Shen Zhiyi's arm again and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his waist to bandage him.

"You don't blame me anymore?"

"I forgive you for now." Tao Jiuxi said as he bandaged the wound.

Shen Zhiyi finally felt relieved after hearing this.

However, just one street away from home, Shen Zhiyi felt extremely dizzy.

His consciousness began to become unclear, and his head began to lean on Tao Jiuxi's head.

Tao Jiuxi felt Shen Zhiyi's body gradually pressing towards him, feeling a little strange: "Just ride your horse well, don't lean on me."

But then Shen Zhiyi suddenly said, "You're not...you're not temporarily forgiving...me?...Why are you still...still...drugging me?"

what! ?

Drugged!?

No way……

"Then I forgot there was a sleeping pill on the handkerchief..." Tao Jiuxi said in annoyance.

After saying that, Shen Zhiyi leaned on Tao Jiuxi and lost consciousness.

Tao Jiuxi quickly put Shen Zhiyi's arm around himself and pulled it hard, fearing that he would fall.

"How can this medicine Xie Yushu gave me be so powerful! It can make people faint even when they are breathing, and even when they come into contact with wounds? Hey..."

Tao Jiuxi sighed helplessly.

The horse was very familiar with the road and soon arrived at the gate of Xie Mansion where Shen Zhiyi lived.

Tao Jiuxi shouted the familiar words: "Hurry up! The young master has fainted..."
