The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 30: If you want to save face, what does it have to do with me?

Mu Rong drove away with Xu Rongrong and Luo Shu, leaving the mess to Mu Ai and the people from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

The latter glared fiercely at Wu Ping, who was rolling on the ground, and sneered, "You are such a wretch, and you dare to set your sights on Miss Xu!"

The carriage galloped all the way and brought Xu Rongrong safely to the gate of Xu's mansion.

Mu Rong opened the car door, and Xu Rongrong was already in a defensive posture with a dagger in hand, with veins bulging on the back of her hand.

The blood on the dagger had dried and solidified, emitting a fishy smell.

Mu Rong extended his hand: "Give it to me."

Xu Rongrong didn't move. Mu Rong said gently, "Rongrong, give me the knife."

Luo Shu, who was standing by, endured the pain in his back and gently pried open Xu Rongrong's fingers: "Miss, we are home."

The dagger fell with a clang.

Mu Rong flashed into the carriage, held Xu Rongrong horizontally in his arms, then jumped off the carriage and ran towards Wutong Courtyard where she lived.

……

"Bring a basin of hot water for your young lady!" Mu Rong said this to Wen Yao who was coming forward, and then carried Xu Rongrong into the house.

Back in the familiar room, Xu Rongrong's tense mood relaxed.

This was the first time in her two lives that she experienced such a life-and-death struggle.

In her previous life, Chu He shot an arrow through her chest. She died without a fight or struggle, and she didn't think much about it.

Just now, she held the dagger and stabbed it into someone else's body with her own hands, watching the blood spurt out and the smell was disgusting.

At this moment, her hands were still stained with the man's blood, which was scarlet and a bit disgusting.

Mu Rong placed her on the couch and covered her eyes with his hands: "Don't look, it's okay."

Xu Rongrong raised her hand and pushed him away: "Why, Lord, do you think I'm a dodder that can't stand the wind and waves?"

Seeing that she looked normal, Mu Rong finally felt relieved and said with a smile, "How dare I? Even if I wanted to look down on you, I wouldn't dare look down on the medicinal powder in your sachet."

A blush appeared on Xu Rongrong's cheeks.

Mu Rong wanted to tease her again, but was afraid to overdo it, so he said, "I've seen soldiers in the army so often the way they look after their first kill, and I'm afraid you'll go crazy because of it."

Xu Rongrong raised her head: "He's not dead."

Mu Rong bent down. "Well, Miss Xu, you're being measured! If you're still not satisfied, I'll send you back and stab him a few more times, okay? I guarantee it'll hurt like hell, but he won't die."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Hot water was brought in quickly. Xu Rongrong slowly immersed her hands in the water. The blood quickly dissolved and slowly turned the water in the basin red.

After changing the basin three times, Xu Rongrong finally washed her hands. She picked up the handkerchief, dried them, and handed it to Wen Yao: "Burn it."

After the smell of blood disappeared from her body, she looked at Mu Rong and asked, "My Lord...why are you there?"

"It's all because of Miss Xu's heroics last night. The first wave of people returning from Shaohua Temple spread the news of Wu Ping's ugly behavior to everyone. I thought you must have been involved in this, but Wu Ping is a scoundrel and I'm afraid he won't let you go easily, so I took people and rushed over."

Xu Rongrong was at a loss for words. If he hadn't arrived in time today, she and Wu Ping would have been fighting to the death.

He... I saved his life in my previous life, so in this life, I will consider it as repaying his life. She bowed and said, "In that case, I thank you, my Lord."

Mu Rong frowned slightly as he looked at her distant and polite appearance.

I said these words to her not to make her feel grateful.

After she stood up, he put on a smile and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to thank me. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Miss Xu had such a heroic side."

He paused, "That kick you used to kill off your offspring was truly impressive."

Xu Rongrong's face turned red because of him and she glared at him fiercely.

But in Mu Rong's eyes, this look with some anger was better than her previous alienation.

So, he added fuel to the fire and came over and said, "But from now on, please don't use it on your husband."

"You..." Xu Rongrong pushed him away with one hand. This man was still so hateful!

Seeing that she was no longer as tense as when she came, Mu Rong stopped teasing her and left with a smile.

When they arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion, Mu Ai also arrived with his men.

Xu Liu and Xu Yaoyao, mother and daughter, had been tied to the carriage and looked miserable.

Mu Rong glanced at them coldly and said, "Tie them up and wait for Master Xu to come back and have a good look at them."

"No!" Xu Liu screamed. This was in front of the Xu Mansion, where people were coming and going. "Please, my Lord, give me some respect."

Mu Rong heard this and said, "You want to save face, what does it have to do with me?"

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and rode away with everyone from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

This leaves more room for people to give guidance to Xu Liu and her daughter.
