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

Chapter 46: The Smell She Hates

Xu Rongrong did not expect that Miss Cheng would be so arrogant as to take action in the Hunting Palace.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pulled Wen Yao over to avoid it.

Seeing her dodge, Cheng Jintong became even angrier and whipped her again.

In the distance, a maroon horse was galloping towards them. There was a familiar black figure on the horse's back. Lin Jiaoyue's eyes turned deep when she saw it.

She shouted to stop him: "Sister Tong, don't hurt anyone!" As she spoke, she jumped up from the horse's back and grabbed the whip of Cheng Jintong with her bare hands.

It was too late for Cheng Jintong to withdraw her hand. With a "snap" sound, the long whip left a long mark on the back of Lin Jiaoyue's hand.

Lin Jiaoyue also flew out and fell heavily in front of the maroon horse hoof that stopped in time.

"Princess!" Cheng Jintong was panicked. She quickly jumped off the horse and ran over with a trembling body.

Although her grandfather was the Minister of Revenue, the purse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was only a civil official after all, so he was not among those accompanying the emperor on this hunting trip to the palace.

In order to come, she has put a lot of effort into Princess Qingyang these days.

But today, she actually injured the princess!

She cried out "Wow", completely ignoring the fact that there was another person in front of her: "I really... didn't mean it... I just wanted to teach her a lesson... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Princess!"

Lin Jiaoyue stood up weakly. "I know you didn't mean it, but you can't hurt anyone casually, especially since she's Marquis Weiyuan's beloved."

As she spoke, she looked up at the black-robed man on horseback and mouthed, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect her well."

Mu Rong tightened the reins and looked at her with deep eyes. At that moment, in Xu Rongrong's eyes, the whole world seemed to stop.

Lin Jiaoyue's appearance was the one she was most familiar with. Her smile was bright but seemed to hide endless pain.

It is this look that makes some people crazy about her.

……

The dispute on the steep slope was quickly resolved by the imperial guards.

Xu Rongrong was thinking about the Sanguisorba officinalis, so after answering the questions of the imperial guards, she took Wen Yao back to the camp.

He completely ignored Lin Jiaoyue's acting skills behind him to suppress the pain.

At noon, Wen Yao took his lunch back to his tent with a strange look on his face.

Xu Rongrong was carefully comparing the records in the book and examining the herbs she had dug. When she saw someone come in, she glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I saw... the Marquis went to the tent of Princess Qingyang," Wen Yao muttered. "Oh," Xu Rongrong said, without commenting.

Wen Yao felt a little aggrieved: "Miss, aren't you angry?"

"What's so annoying about that?" Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

This is the real Mu Rong.

Although he had explained to her not long ago that he and Lin Jiaoyue no longer had any connection, she didn't believe him. But now that he had been slapped in the face so quickly, it was within her expectations.

She had witnessed Lin Jiaoyue's unique skill of tears in her eyes countless times in her previous life.

Every time, he would feel at a loss.

fair enough.

Yes, it's good.

……

The smell of ointment filled the tent of Princess Qingyang.

She bit her lip as she watched her maid, Mu Xin'er, apply ointment to her. "Luckily, no bones were broken, but even so, I'm afraid it will take quite a while to recover," Mu Xin'er said heartbrokenly. "The princess is so foolish, rushing out to save someone."

Lin Jiaoyue gasped softly and said angrily, "I only hurt the back of my hand. It will be fine after a few days. Tong Jie'er was so reckless. If I hadn't taken action, her whip would have ruined Miss Xu's appearance."

"Was Cheng Jintong led there by the princess?" Mu Rong asked bluntly.

Mu Xin'er heard this and spoke up for her princess: "What do you mean, Marquis? The princess was injured while saving Miss Xu, and you still doubt her..."

"Mu Xin'er." Lin Jiaoyue interrupted her, "Get out."

Mu Xin'er was shocked when she heard this, looked at Mu Rong with resentment, and left the tent.

Lin Jiaoyue stood up from behind the table and slowly walked to Mu Rong. "Brother Rong, why are you suspicious of me? You never treated me like this in the past. Could it be that now that there's no friendship between you and me, I'm such a cruel person in your eyes?"

"That steep slope is behind the camp, making it very difficult to ride a horse. How could you have run into her there if you hadn't intended to?" Mu Rong looked at him coldly. "Besides, Rongrong is a calm and kind person, not one to argue with others. If the princess hadn't been there to incite her, Miss Cheng, despite her arrogant nature, wouldn't have dared to hurt anyone."

"But if it's true as you said, that I deliberately instigated Sister Tong to hurt someone, then why did I try to save her and hurt myself?"

"The princess is very clever, and every move she makes is not a casual one. As for why, I believe the princess herself knows it well."

"It turns out that in Brother Rong's eyes, I have become such a despicable person." Lin Jiaoyue's eyes were full of despair.

"I will not comment on who this person is. However, I hope the princess can understand one thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"If Rongrong makes the slightest mistake, I will take double the revenge on you and Miss Cheng." After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Brother Rong, don't go!" Lin Jiaoyue rushed forward and hugged him tightly from behind. "You and Jiaojiao have been friends for ten years. How could you not know what Jiaojiao feels? I don't know what Jiaojiao did wrong to cause Brother Rong to misunderstand her like this, but Jiaojiao will change, she really will!"

"Brother Rong, please stop making trouble. Please don't abandon Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao will give you whatever you want... Even if Brother Rong really marries Miss Xu, as long as Brother Rong still wants Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is willing to be your concubine, your mistress, anything! Brother Rong... Jiaojiao begs you."

As she spoke, her body trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, she was not acting, but was really scared.

Mu Rong stopped and exerted a little force to break her free.

Without even turning his head, he said, "Princess, please don't dirty my robe."

Mu Rong's back disappeared from the outside. When Mu Xin'er returned to the tent, she saw her princess's face covered in tears. She knew that the princess was really crying this time.

"Don't be sad, Princess. I'm afraid the Marquis has been bewitched by that demon."

Lin Jiaoyue stood there for a long time, then raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "Then... destroy her."

When Mu Rong returned to the camp, he went into his tent without saying a word, changed his clothes, and called Mu Ai over: "I ordered you to guard her, and this is how you guard her?"

Mu Ai quickly apologized: "The Marquis ordered me to secretly protect her. When Cheng Jintong attacked, I wanted to rescue her, but the young lady was very clever... and didn't give me the chance."

Mu Rong frowned and said, "Next time, if you see a fly, just chase it away. I don't want it to happen again."

"My subordinate understands."

Mu Rong threw the black riding uniform he had taken off to Mu Ai: "Take it out and throw it away!"

Seeing this, Mu Ai asked: "Isn't this dress newly made by the Marquis?" "It has been stained with her disgusting smell, throw it away."

Mu Yi: "..."
