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

Chapter 63: It’s Not Random, It’s Just You

After all, Chu He is a stranger, and having him escort her back home might cause trouble.

So after leaving the slums, Luo Shu hired a rickshaw driver from a nearby rickshaw shop.

As soon as they turned into the main street, they felt that the atmosphere today was different from usual.

The once bustling streets were now filled with people dressed as soldiers, asking questions as they walked, as if they were looking for someone.

After seeing the Xu Mansion's carriage, the soldiers were stunned for a moment.

One of them knocked on the door and asked, "Is this the carriage of Princess Ping'an?"

Xu Rongrong pushed the door open: "It's me." The man saw this and was delighted. He turned around and shouted: "Quick! Go and tell the Marquis that the Princess Ping'an has been found!"

Upon hearing the news, the surrounding soldiers scattered with the signal.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

It turns out that these people came out to look for her?

It was just a delay of more than an hour...how could such a big fuss be caused?

Before she could come to her senses, she saw a chestnut horse galloping towards her in the distance. The man on the horse had a cold face full of panic.

Before his horse could straighten up, he leaped high into the air and landed on the carriage: "Rongrong! Are you okay?"

If that face had not been engraved in her mind, Xu Rongrong would not have believed that this pale-lipped man was actually Mu Rong.

Seeing the panic in his burning eyes, Xu Rongrong lowered her eyes: "Nothing, the horse driving the carriage went crazy for some reason and took the wrong road."

Seeing her return safely, Mu Rong calmed down a little and stopped trying to figure out the truth of her words.

He smelled a faint smell of blood in the car: "Are you injured?!"

"I injured my leg when the carriage was running amok." Xu Rongrong said lightly.

"It's serious!" Mu Rong panicked and reached out to check the injury.

Xu Rongrong wanted to shake his hand off, but seeing the anxious look on his face, she said softly, "It's already been dealt with briefly. We'll talk about it when we get back home."

……

Today, under the management of Xu Rongrong, the Xu Mansion is gradually becoming more organized.

The injured coachman was Xu Feng, the eldest son of steward Xu. After being thrown off the carriage, he endured the pain and came back to report to his father. He did not say much when others asked him about it.

Butler Xu knew that this matter was serious, so he went to Mu's house alone to deliver the letter, only to find out that the Marquis had already learned about it and left the house.

Yi Changshi ordered him to suppress the matter, so when he returned home and saw the two guards coming back empty-handed, he immediately arrested them.

Therefore, few people in the entire Xu family knew about Xu Rongrong's disappearance, which was such a serious matter.

At this time, the palace doctor was checking Xu Rongrong's injuries.

Mu Rong was ordered not to enter and could only pace around in the yard anxiously.

His clothes were already stained with blood. He had been seriously injured and had not yet recovered. In order to gain the girl's sympathy, he had not taken care of his injuries seriously.

Today, I suddenly heard about the incident and led my men to run frantically in the city for an hour. Now my wounds have already healed.

Mu Yi advised distressedly, "Don't worry, my Lord. The palace doctors' skills are probably far superior to those of ordinary imperial physicians. Luo Shu also said just now that the young lady didn't break any bones, so she's probably fine. But you, my Lord... need to be rebandaged."

But Mu Rong's heart was not here at this moment.

He turned to look at Mu Ai, who was kneeling beside him, frowning: "Tell me, what happened today?"

When Mu Ai came back to report the news just now, Mu Rong was only thinking about rescuing the person as soon as possible, and did not ask about the cause and effect in detail.

At this moment, thinking of the woman in the room who was enduring an unknown amount of pain, his heart burned like fire: "I ordered you to protect her safety, and this is how you take care of her?"

Mu Ai bowed his head. "I plead guilty! When the young lady's carriage lost control, I rushed forward, but a masked man suddenly appeared and tried to stop me. As I fought him, I lost track of the carriage."

"Masked man? Did you catch that guy?"

"My subordinates were incompetent and he got away with it."

"Can you see his skills?"

"...He didn't attack, but simply engaged his subordinates in a struggle, preventing them from approaching the carriage, as if deliberately stalling for time."

"Oh! You mean..." Mu Rong said coldly, "A master suddenly appeared in the capital, and you couldn't even tell his skills when you fought him?"

Mu Ai lowered his head and muttered: "I am incompetent!"

"One hundred military sticks! Go down and receive your punishment."

"Yes……"

……

Another cup of tea passed before the palace doctor finally emerged from his room. Mu Rong hurried forward and asked, "Rong... Is the county lady in any serious condition?"

"It's just an external injury, just recover."

"Do you need any medicine to treat it?"

The palace physician smiled and said, "The medicine prepared by the county lady herself is far superior to my own prescription. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Mu Yi escorted the palace doctor out, while Mu Rong went back into the room. The girl's boudoir, once filled with sweet fragrance, was now filled with the smell of medicine.

And his arrival added a hint of blood to the situation.

Xu Rongrong turned around and saw the desolate look of Mu Rong's mansion.

"I'm sorry," he murmured, "I didn't protect you."

There was no longer the charm of the past between his eyebrows and eyes, only loss and self-blame.

Xu Rongrong knew that her excuse for the carriage running out of control could not be hidden from him, so she asked, "Is the Marquis sending someone to follow me secretly?"

Although he knew she might be angry, Mu Rong didn't deny it. "I've always been strict with my troops, and I have many enemies. They even dared to attack me. After the incident at the hunting grounds... I was worried about you, so I ordered Mu Ai to secretly protect you, but I didn't expect the villains to succeed."

Xu Rongrong pondered for a moment. "Those people clearly came prepared. Their carriage rushed through several blocks without encountering patrolmen. I think they've already planned their route several times. They're experienced, and it seems this isn't their first time doing such a destructive act. Even after I revealed my identity, they remained undeterred. I think the person behind this must have some tricks up their sleeve... Such a meticulous plan is more than Deputy General Ai can handle alone."

After hearing what she said, Mu Rong felt a chill on his back: "They are like this... Did they hurt you?!"

Xu Rongrong shook her head: "Fortunately, a famous knight passed by and rescued me."

"Could it be..." Mu Rong instinctively felt suspicious of this person who suddenly appeared.

"It can't be him." Xu Rongrong said firmly: Chu He would not be such a villain.

She was so sure, and a wave of jealousy surged in Mu Rong's heart: "Rongrong actually trusts him so much?"

"Although I have no concrete evidence, the people who attacked me today were quite large. They were probably just those who had grudges against you and me. And the person who saved me... is someone I don't know."

Seeing her determined expression, Mu Rong temporarily suppressed his doubts. "In that case, leave the task of finding the mastermind to me. You can focus on recovering from your injuries. Until the real culprit is found, I will be personally responsible for your personal protection."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

I'm afraid the calculations can be heard across the entire capital.

Of course she couldn't do as he wished!

"I appreciate your kindness, my Lord. I have invited that knight to come into the mansion tomorrow to serve as a guard. You do not need to trouble me any further, my Lord."

Mu Rong felt sad, and a look of hurt gradually spread across his face.

This made Xu Rongrong feel a little awkward.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Xu Rongrong cleared her throat, turned around and took the ointment on the couch: "I have tried this medicine just now, I believe it will help the Marquis's injury."

Seeing her take the initiative to show goodwill, Mu Rong's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Rongrong."

Xu Rongrong turned her head away, avoiding his gaze: "It's just... My Lord, you must not do this again in the future."

"Rongrong, what are you saying?"

"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to use your private soldiers at will anymore."

"It's not random, it's just you."
