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

Chapter 71 I am timid, but do you dare to say it?

Under the night sky, the moon is hazy.

It seems to be full of tenderness, but at the same time it also conceals the sharp murderous aura.

In the backyard of the Xu Mansion, two men were standing and squatting beside a small well.

Although they seemed to be separated by a short distance, the spirit of competition between them seemed to be constantly condensing.

Mu Rong seemed relaxed, with a smile on his face: "General Chu's hands can not only bend the bow and shoot arrows, but can also hold soap nuts."

Chu He squatted beside the well without raising his head and continued to scrub the clothes in the basin.

"Old friends are meeting, why is General Chu ignoring me? This is not the etiquette for a first-rank military marquis to treat others." In his previous life, Chu He was granted the title of first-rank Marquis Xuanping at the end of the second year after Wu Tianqi ascended the throne.

"Did you recognize the wrong person? There are only Guard Chu here, where is the General Chu?"

Mu Rong squatted down and looked him in the eye. "Given the irreconcilable relationship between you and me in our past lives, how could I have been wrong?"

Chu He finally put down the work in his hands, raised his head and looked at Mu Rong for a long time without moving.

After Xu Rongrong died in his previous life, Mu Rong chased Chu He dozens of times, risking being exposed at any time!

And Chu He... as the knife in Wu Tianqi's hand, was ordered to assassinate Mu Rong and the Mu family army nearly a hundred times.

In just two short years.

They tracked, gambled, assassinated, and counterattacked each other over and over again.

The two people were equally matched and it was difficult to tell who was the stronger one.

Because he knew too many secrets of Wu Tianqi, Chu He was eventually tricked into poisoning and secretly executed.

When he struggled with his last breath to break through the siege and find Mu Rong, he was no longer able to speak.

He stared at Mu Rong silently with his bloodshot eyes wide open, the blood flowing from his mouth almost suffocating him.

He stared at Mu Rong intently and said to him with his bright red lips: Revenge.

Therefore, what Mu Rong said just now about fighting to the death is quite appropriate.

Their past lives.

They are opponents, constantly playing games and sniping each other.

So, with just a glance, they can see through each other.

A yellow leaf slowly drifted down from the withered treetops. The evening breeze blew it and landed between them, breaking the momentary silence.

Mu Rong attacked without warning. He transformed his palm into a blade and slashed towards Chu He.

Chu He dodged and retreated, and as he fell, two flying knives appeared at his fingertips.

He attacked Mu Rong's armpit, but the other party dodged it.

Mu Rong changed his hands into claws and grabbed Chu He's right hand.

One lift, one tilt, one carrying capacity.

The flying knife in Chu He's right hand fell to the ground.

"Ding Dong" sound.

"Tell me! What are you doing around her?" Mu Rong looked at Chu He with a sharp gaze.

Chu He never expected that his opponent, who was equally matched with him in his previous life, would suddenly become so powerful!

He gritted his teeth and said, “She invited me here.

Mu Rong snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? If you hadn't deliberately approached her, how could she have come to you?"

He seemed to remember something: "I'm afraid that her distress was also a trap set by you, right?"

"I said that with Mu Ai's skills, there would be no opponent in the capital who could suppress him so much. It turns out to be you!"

Chu He did not deny it. He looked down on Mu Rong and said, "You are just that useless person under your command. I don't even need to make any moves to deal with him."

Mu Rong's eyes widened in anger: "You are still so stubborn and self-willed! Do you know that her injuries have not healed yet because of you?"

Thinking of Xu Rongrong's slightly shaky look when she got off the car today, Mu Rong couldn't help but tear the person in front of him to pieces.

These words dealt a heavy blow to Chu He.

His color suddenly turned pale: "Yes... indeed, I miscalculated."

"I didn't expect that those idiots couldn't even control the carriage."

Chu He suddenly withdrew his internal energy and stopped attacking, which made Mu Rong a little confused. He frowned and asked, "What is your purpose in trying so hard to sneak into the Xu Mansion?"

"If I say that I want to make up for the big mistakes I made in my previous life, would you believe me?" Chu He said self-deprecatingly.

Mu Rong was speechless.

Finally, he let go of her hand: "She doesn't hate you, otherwise she wouldn't have treated your brother, let alone let you live in the mansion."

Mu Rong's words finally confirmed Chu He's suspicions: "So, she is now... the same person from her previous life? She was also reborn?"

Mu Rong nodded. It was only a matter of time before Chu He discovered the truth since he was able to get close to Rongrong.

I simply stopped hiding it from him.

But Chu He didn't understand. He frowned slightly: "But if that's the case... you treated her like that in your previous life, why would she still be willing to get engaged to you?"

"I used some tricks." This time it was Mu Rong who laughed at himself, "Besides, she didn't know I was reborn."

"You...?" Chu He was confused at first, but then she understood. It turned out that Lord Mu also knew that he had broken her heart in his previous life.

He sneered, "No wonder you were so badly injured in the hunting grounds. It turned out you didn't want her to get suspicious. I never thought the dignified Marquis Weiyuan would be so cowardly."

Mu Rong didn't take it seriously and replied, "I am a coward, but... do you dare to say it?"

Chu He: "..."

Indeed, he didn't dare to say it.

Seeing that he remained silent, Mu Rong didn't want to bother him anymore.

He glanced into the room and said, "I will protect her for the rest of her life, so you won't have to worry about anything. Starting tomorrow, you will leave the Xu Mansion. I will find a royal physician to treat your brother's illness."

"I won't leave. A gentleman's promise is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold." Mu Rong was furious: "..."

He was about to say something else when a girl's voice came from outside the courtyard: "Chu He, are you asleep?"

It was Xu Rongrong's voice.

Mu Rong was shocked. Without having time to think, he immediately jumped onto the roof and disappeared into the night.

Chu He looked up at the place where he disappeared and sneered: Coward!

After that, he quickly dipped his hands in the basin and opened the door. "Why is the young lady here?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve. "I was so busy during the day that I actually forgot about this important matter. These are pills for cough relief. I consulted the palace physician and prepared them. I've asked the Imperial Hospital Chief Liao to check them. If you'd like, you can give them to Chu Yun to try."

Chu He wiped his hands on his clothes and took the medicine bottle. "Thank you, Miss." "It's my duty. Now that you are living in my house, I naturally have to take good care of you." Xu Rongrong said with a smile, and looked into the courtyard. "I just... seemed to hear someone talking?"

Chu He glanced back and said, "It might be Chu Yun. He's been feeling better lately and seems to be a bit too playful to go to bed early, so I said a few words to him."

Xu Rongrong didn't doubt him and glanced at the clothes waiting to be washed in the yard: "Let the servants do these things."

Chu He declined: "It's just a few pieces of clothing, just a casual thing."

Knowing that Chu He was a strong-willed person, Xu Rongrong stopped insisting and said a few more words before going back.

Looking at her slightly swaying back as she walked, Chu He's eyes dimmed.

On the rooftop not far away, Mu Rong took in everything:

Chu He's feelings for Rongrong...seem to be more than just atonement?

And Rongrong...had actually smiled at him so many times. A strong sense of crisis surged in Mu Rong's heart.
