Lin Xiaoruan subconsciously held her breath and quickly pressed a pill under her tongue.

She turned to look at Madam Tang: "Madam, I can do it myself. I'm not used to having someone wait on me when I bathe!"

Mrs. Tang took her leave and she deliberately made a sound of water. She didn't even take off her clothes and sat directly in the bathtub.

Perhaps certain that she had entered the tub, Madam Tang's deliberately suppressed voice could be heard faintly: "Quick, go and call my brother over. This is a rare opportunity to establish a relationship with the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion in the capital. As long as he becomes Marquis Zhan Yi's brother-in-law, there's no need to worry about him not protecting our Commander's Mansion!"

The man couldn't help but say, "Madam, if there is any marriage, it should be between the eldest son and Miss Lin. He is the real master of the Commander's Mansion!"

Mrs. Tang couldn't help but interrupt him sharply, "What nonsense! Do you think the Commander's Mansion will still belong to them in the future? Absolutely not! In the future, this Commander's Mansion will belong to my brother!"

The man didn't dare to say anything and ran away quickly.

Lin Xiaoruan curled up in the bathtub and trembled all over. She didn't expect that Mrs. Tang really had evil intentions.

More importantly, she tried to destroy her innocence.

Thinking of this, her face turned ashen with anger.

Without hesitation, she immediately got out of the bathtub, opened the window and climbed out.

She stumbled towards the garden and unexpectedly ran into a broad embrace.

In a flash, she subconsciously took out the silver needle and stabbed the man unconscious.

Unexpectedly, he spoke in time: "Little Ruan, why are you so embarrassed?"

Lin Xiaoruan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had just come out of the bathtub and was already soaked. When the cold wind blew on her, even her teeth began to tremble violently.

She said in a trembling voice: "Your stepmother is plotting against me. I'm so cold now!"

Tang Mingxuan didn't dare to delay and immediately wrapped her in his cloak and took her to his yard.

But once he entered the house, he was in trouble.

Because he was only served by servants and no maids, he couldn't even get Lin Xiaoruan to wear a suitable piece of clothing.

Fortunately, he quickly came up with a solution. He ordered people to buy clothes secretly, and at the same time he found some clean clothes for her to wear.

After she was ready, he wrapped her tightly in a quilt.

Lin Xiaoruan drank another bowl of ginger soup with his help, and her expression finally eased a lot.

Tang Mingxuan subconsciously asked: "What's going on?"

Lin Xiaoruan frowned and replied, "You guessed right. Your stepmother has bad intentions. She first ordered someone to dirty my clothes, then tricked me into the inner room to bathe, and then sent someone to call her brother!"

Tang Mingxuan was stunned. His stepmother's younger brother was a deputy general in the army. Why did she call him over at this time?

Before he could figure it out, he heard the housekeeper's anxious voice outside: "Deputy General Chen, you can't trespass into the eldest master's room without permission. Get out!"

A disdainful voice immediately rang out: "You old thing, get out of here!"

He reached out and pushed hard, and the old butler fell to the ground and squatted on his butt.

Tang Mingxuan quickly walked out and said, "Stop, Chen Biao, how dare you run into my yard and act like a wild beast?"

Chen Biao stared at him with a frown on his face.

He sarcastically said, "Tang Mingxuan, my elder sister found me a wife, but I heard she ran away. You asked me to search your room to see if you had hidden her!"

After saying that, he rushed into the house.

Tang Mingxuan raised his hand and grabbed his arm: "How dare you! Don't forget, this is Commander Tang's residence. It's not your turn, Chen Biao, to barge in as you please!"

Chen Biao laughed out loud: "Oh my, that pretty boy can get angry sometimes? I want to see if I can just barge in and out of this commander's mansion!"

Without saying a word, he bent down and was about to give Tang Mingxuan an over-the-shoulder throw.

Who would have thought that the young man, who looked very thin and frail on weekdays, was standing on the ground motionless.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move him at all.

This really surprised and shocked Chen Biao!

Because he and Tang Mingxuan had joined the army for training together, he was defeated in every competition.

But this time, why couldn't he touch him?

Chen Biao was immediately furious and shouted, "Come here, beat him up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several strong soldiers rushed forward.

Tang Mingxuan kicked Chen Biao to the ground, and then started fighting fiercely with the soldiers.

Chen Biao's pupils contracted violently. It was not until now that he realized that Tang Mingxuan was hiding his abilities. His kung fu was actually very powerful.

But no matter how powerful he is, two fists cannot beat four hands.

Chen Biao snorted coldly and walked into the house with a swagger.

But just as he reached the door, a stick hit him hard on the waist.

"Bang!" He was hit hard and fell to the ground with a shrill scream in pain.

Mrs. Tang, who was hiding in the dark, saw that something was wrong and immediately rushed out.

She anxiously hugged Chen Biao and asked worriedly, "Brother, how are you? Where are you hurt?"

Chen Biao cried in pain: "Sister, it hurts, I'm afraid I'm useless!"

Mrs. Tang reached out and touched his waist, and her hands were immediately covered in blood.

She was startled and immediately shouted, "Someone, please call the court doctor, quickly!"

Commander Tang also heard the noise and asked subconsciously, "What's going on? Why is there such a commotion outside?"

An old maid ran in and reported, "Sir, please go and take a look! The eldest son has injured Deputy General Chen, and the lady is crying so hard that she can hardly breathe!"

Tang Qizheng's expression suddenly changed, and he no longer cared about Zhan Yan.

He immediately stood up and walked quickly outside.

Zhan Yan felt that something was wrong, so he followed him.

Arriving at Tang Mingxuan's yard, he heard Madam Tang cursing loudly: "How can you be so cruel? My brother came to play with you, and you wanted to kill him. You might as well kill me too. That way, my family won't be a bother to you anymore!"

Hearing this, Tang Qizheng's face was immediately filled with tremendous anger.

He strode to Tang Mingxuan, raised his hand and slapped him hard, knocking him to the ground.

He cursed hoarsely: "Unfilial son, do you want to piss me off to death?"

Lin Xiaoruan, who was standing next to him, suddenly changed her expression. She quickly helped Tang Mingxuan up and watched him open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

She asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Tang Mingxuan comforted him hoarsely: "I'm fine, it was just a slap, it won't kill me!"

Lin Xiaoruan glared at Tang Qizheng angrily: "Commander Tang, how could you hit someone so indiscriminately? It wasn't Master Tang who hurt Chen Biao at all. It was me. I hit him with a stick!"

Tang Qizhen knew that she was Lin Yiwan's sister, so he was gentle towards her.

He frowned and asked, "Why did you hit Chen Biao? Did he provoke you?"
