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

Chapter 77 Let the Black Hand Pay with His Life

That night, Xu Rongrong left the palace doctor at home to take care of Wen Yao and Luo Shu.

As the mastermind behind this incident has not yet appeared, we still need to be cautious about this matter.

Fortunately, although Wutong Courtyard is slightly remote, there are still a few vacant rooms, so it is not difficult to place the palace doctor in the courtyard.

After settling everyone down, Xu Rongrong felt a slight headache.

She walked to the tree in the yard and stood there, kicking the stones on the ground with her head down.

The long hair hanging down from her temples fluttered gently in the evening breeze, making her look slightly sad.

Mu Rong has not returned home yet.

He slowly walked to Xu Rongrong, unfolded the cloak in his hand, draped it over her shoulders, and whispered:

"Don't worry too much. The palace doctor just said that they have found the source of the poison and will be able to prepare an antidote soon."

"Besides, those two girls are young and were not poisoned for long, so they won't suffer any sequelae."

Xu Rongrong nodded, she understood.

But just now, looking at Wen Yao’s gradually pale face, I felt indescribable sadness in my heart.

In the end, it was because she was careless.

After Xu Liu was driven to the ancestral temple, she quickly replaced all the people in Rong'an Courtyard.

Except for Madam Ping who went to the ancestral temple to serve Xu Liushi, everyone else was sold out of the house. In particular, the family of Manager Liu, who had embezzled money to raise a skinny horse for his son, was sold to Jiangnan by her.

In their previous lives, how did they treat Luo Shu and Wen Yao? In this life, let them experience it! Xu Yaoyao's Bai Cui Courtyard, because Xu Chaoqian was protecting it, Xu Rongrong did not attack them for the time being.

She originally thought that all the servants in the mansion who were closely involved with Xu Liu had been thoroughly purged.

But I didn't expect... there are still some fish hidden among them.

It's really hard to guard against.

She subconsciously grabbed the cloak and wrapped herself tightly. "No matter how deep the person behind this is hiding, I will dig her out and kill her!"

Her fair fingers were curled up and clenched together, with veins exposed on her knuckles.

Mu Rong raised his hand distressedly and wrapped her hand in his palm: "I will be with you."

Xu Rongrong was about to refuse, but Mu Rong lowered his head and added, "Don't refuse me... I can't bear the fear of you leaving again."

"Again..." Xu Rongrong frowned. Mu Rong's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. "Just now, when I returned home, I heard Mu Ai say someone was poisoned. That feeling... even when facing an army of thousands, I've never felt it before. I don't want to experience it again."

Xu Rongrong looked at the depth in his eyes, and thinking of his anxious look just now, she stopped asking questions.

She pondered for a long time, then looked at him and said, "This matter is undoubtedly the work of that person in the ancestral temple. If you would be so kind as to not trouble me, please help me keep a close eye on that person. This poison takes effect very quickly, and I'm afraid that person will reveal his weakness soon."

She was referring to Xu Liu.

It must have been Xu Yaoyao's repeated complaints that made Xu Liu cruel to her.

Mu Rong naturally understood, and he bent down to look at her.

Looking at the scattered hair on the girl's temples, he raised one hand to gather them and hooked them behind her ears. He smiled and said, "I don't mind the trouble of your business." Xu Rongrong was stunned and her face turned red involuntarily.

I don't know why, even though they were talking about something very serious, the atmosphere between them suddenly became charming.

She took a step back and said, "In that case, thank you, my Lord."

Although he was already familiar with her estrangement, Mu Rong still couldn't hide the loss in his heart.

But it doesn't matter. I once pushed her away little by little. Now... I will try to get closer to her.

He continued, "Leave the outside affairs to me, but what about the affairs inside this mansion? It's no longer safe for you to live here."

Xu Rongrong already had a plan in mind: "Starting tomorrow, I will stay in the courtyard and not go out. It won't be long before the person behind the scenes comes to investigate. In the next few days, I will hand over the food in the courtyard to Chu He. He is very skilled and his movements will not be noticed."

Hearing Chu He's name, Mu Rong felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: "You... actually trust him so much."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She didn't know how to tell Mu Rong about this. After all, it was the trust she gained from her previous life, and she couldn't explain it to him clearly at this moment.

Seeing this, Mu Rong stopped asking questions. He thought for a moment and said, "If you really trust him, then let him investigate the hidden hand in the Xu Mansion. As for the supplies for Wutong Courtyard, I will be responsible for it. Okay?"

Xu Rongrong raised her head again.

There were stars in his eyes, and once again, she didn't know how to refuse.

My head hurts even more.

She subconsciously raised her hand to rub her forehead and nodded.

Her agreement did not make Mu Rong as happy as he had imagined, because her previous action made him understand: her head was hurting again.

He consulted the imperial physician and discussed the situation with the palace physician. Their answers were remarkably consistent: Miss Xu's headache was incurable.

Now that he saw that she had a headache, his eyes turned dark.

Suppressing the guilt in his heart, he raised his head to look at the night sky and advised: "The wind is picking up, let's go back to the room first."

Xu Rongrong nodded, but stumbled as soon as she took a step.

Mu Rong quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms, then held her sideways...

The sudden volley made Xu Rongrong feel uncomfortable. She frowned and said, "Put me down."

Mu Rong stretched out his long arms and held her tightly in his arms: "Be good, I'll carry you back."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The two maids are sick, and now there is no one in the room and no lamp is lit.

In the darkness, Mu Rong gently placed Xu Rongrong on the couch. As she struggled to stand, he placed his palm on her back and slowly applied force. A warm air slowly climbed from Xu Rongrong's back, passed through her neck, and converged between her eyebrows.

Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure on her forehead, which felt like it was being pressed down by a thousand pounds, relaxed a lot.

Even though she didn't know martial arts, she knew that this change was related to Mu Rong.

In the darkness, her starry eyes flickered, and she said, "Thank you."

Mu Rong did not answer.

He didn't dare to be distracted, and a smile slowly crept up at the corner of his mouth.

……

The next day, several servants from the Xu Mansion who were preparing to go out on business were waiting at the second gate to receive their matching cards.

But the eldest daughter of the family, Xu Rongrong, has not shown up yet.

Around noon, the door opened and Luo Shu hurried out, his face pale. "If there's nothing urgent to do today, you'll have the day off."

After giving the hasty instructions, Luo Shu turned and left without waiting for anyone to respond.

Seeing her unhappy expression, the servants in Xu's house did not dare to ask any more questions.

Can only whisper behind the back:

"What happened to the young lady today?"

"Who knows? Didn't you see Luo Shu's face just now? He looked like he was sick."

"Oh, she is the first-class maid beside the young lady. I'm afraid the young lady is also sick?"

"Bah, now that the eldest lady is in charge, you dare to curse her?"

One person slapped his mouth repeatedly: "Look at my stinky mouth!"

Someone else changed the subject: "Come on, come on! Since the young lady has given us a day off, let's relax for a day and have some drinks!"

After that, several people left chatting and laughing.

In the distance, an inquiring gaze was staring at the door closed by Luo Shu.
