My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Fu Pei glanced at him coldly, and the guard hurriedly knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness, "It was my fault for speaking out of turn, please forgive me, Master!"

Fu Pei said coldly, "I know you were all trained by me and that you care about me. Just do what you're supposed to do, and don't worry about anything else. I know what I'm doing."

The bodyguards he used were not given to him by Prince Rui, but were picked up from all sorts of random places and carefully trained by him.

Therefore, in addition to protecting his safety and obeying his orders, these bodyguards also genuinely hoped that he could get what he wanted, and sometimes they would boldly speak out and advise him against some very risky behaviors.

For example, in this case, the secret guards didn't know where the enemy was hiding, so it was unwise to go and vent their anger on those girls.

But he was just a bodyguard after all, and he shouldn't overstep his bounds just because of the special bond they had when they were children.

The guard hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake, saying, "It was I who overstepped my bounds. Please punish me, Master."

Fu Pei disliked the guards' attempt to admonish him, but knowing their motives, he wouldn't actually punish them for it.

He said, "Alright, go down and get things done."

The guard kowtowed to him, then got up and left. He silently warned himself never to do such a foolish thing again.

In fact, he had already realized that Fu Pei had changed and was no longer the person he was when he first found them.

He collected his thoughts and followed Fu Pei's instructions to make the arrangements one by one.

On the other hand, Gu Chunzhi searched all the major and minor pharmacies but couldn't find a suitable tutor for her grandchildren, so she had to give up for the time being.

Lu Xumu and Lu Zilin had just bought some servants, and they needed to bring them back to the shop to train them, so Gu Chunzhi decided to take her grandchildren back first.

Lu Xumu was worried about his mother, nephews and nieces, so he asked Lu Zilin to escort them back.

Gu Chunzhi waved her hand and said, "No need, you all go about your business. Don't worry, we'll be safe on our way back!"

Seeing that her two sons were still worried, she pointed to the carriage.

She was a woman traveling alone with two children, and she was worried that something might happen, so she asked Tianrui to come along as well.

However, Tianrui is getting bigger and bigger, and its tiger-like features are very obvious.

Fearing that its appearance would cause panic, Gu Chunzhi placed it inside the carriage so that it could stay there peacefully.

Tianrui not only understood what they were saying, but was also very well-behaved, so he stayed obediently in the carriage.

Seeing his mother point to the carriage, Lu Xumu also thought of Tianrui. Thinking of the little tiger cub they kept at home, Lu Xumu couldn't help but think of Ji Yunshuang, and sighed inwardly, "Luckily, my sister-in-law brought a little tiger cub home to raise."

If it weren't for the tiger cub he keeps at home, he wouldn't be able to leave his family alone.

Although she knew the little tiger was in the carriage, she still had Lu Zilin escort his mother and nephew to the city gate before returning.

Hongdu is not far from Shuanghe Village, and the road is usually peaceful. Lu Xumu and Gu Chunzhi never expected that something would happen on the way.

Gu Chunzhi was stunned when a group of masked men suddenly rushed out of the woods and stopped their donkey cart.

She was stunned, but Tianrui inside the carriage was not. Sensing danger, it rushed out of the carriage and bit off the masked man's neck in one bite.

Now it was the masked man's turn to be dumbfounded.

Before Ma Er could even utter the words, "Hand over the child," he was stunned by the hot blood that splattered in his face.

The other masked men were similar to Ma Er; they thought it was just a matter of kidnapping the elderly, the weak, and the young, and that this task would be easy.

Little did they know that this family was no ordinary people; they had actually hidden a tiger in the donkey cart.

Things really did develop in a way that far exceeded their expectations, and they were so frightened that they forgot to run.

Tianrui didn't give the others any time to react. After taking care of one person, it immediately pounced on the second. This time, it didn't use its mouth; it just slapped the masked man to death.

At this moment, Ma Er and the others came to their senses and turned to run. However, they were no match for a tiger, and Tian Rui caught them in no time.

At this moment, Lu Yanqi didn't care about being exposed and had no choice but to step forward and leave Tianrui alive.

Hearing her grandson's words, Gu Chunzhi also recovered from her shock and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Tianrui, leave one alive and see who this is and why he wants to harm us."

Lu Yanqi and Gu Chunzhi's words made Tianrui pause in his grip on Ma Er's neck, and he slowly released Ma Er.

Although Ma Er survived, he had already fainted from fright.

Seeing the blood and corpses all over the ground, Gu Chunzhi asked anxiously, "What do we do now?"

She had never encountered anything like this before, and felt utterly helpless. Completely at a loss for what to do, in her shock, she even forgot that Lu Yanqi was just a child, and foolishly asked him what to do.

Lu Yanqi covered his sister's eyes with one hand to prevent her from seeing the bloody and terrifying scene outside, and grabbed his grandmother with the other hand, comforting her, "Grandmother, don't be afraid. Those are bad people. Tianrui killed them to protect himself. Nothing will happen to him."

"Yes, yes, they had big knives. They were planning to harm us. We were just trying to protect ourselves."

After Gu Chunzhi finished speaking, she said fearfully, "But what about all these deaths? Even if they were the ones who had malicious intentions first, it won't be clear to the authorities if so many people die."

Lu Yanqi added, "If Mother were here, she certainly wouldn't have alerted the authorities. She would have tied up this villain and taken him back for questioning."

“Yes, your mother is the smartest.” Gu Chunzhi’s mind began to work slowly. “If we handle it the way you usually do, we can’t go wrong. I’ll find something to tie that villain up right now.”

She shakily fumbled for a rope in the donkey cart, tied up the unconscious Ma Er, and looked at the corpse on the ground, then began to tremble again, "But...but what about the corpse on the ground?"

"Grandmother, don't worry about the body on the ground. Once Tianrui has dealt with it, we'll lock the body in the carriage and head back quickly."

Lu Yanqi's voice was still childish, but his words carried an extraordinary calmness.

Gu Chunzhi was trembling all over, but her grandson's calmness gradually calmed her down, and she began to pull him into the car with all her might.

Fortunately, she used to do farm work and was strong, so she quickly pulled the person onto the train.

"Tianrui, take care of these things and hurry up and catch up." After Lu Yanqi finished speaking, the donkey cart rushed out, and Tianrui obediently dealt with the scene.

For a tiger, the simplest and best way to deal with these carcasses is, of course, to eat them all.

To keep his actions concealed, Ma Er deliberately chose a section of the main road flanked by mountains on both sides, which conveniently allowed Tian Rui to invite his friends for a feast.

Soon, only scattered bloodstains remained at the scene.

When Wei Yuqi waited at home for a long time without receiving any news, he sent someone else to inquire, but they found out nothing.

The villagers in several nearby villages were quite frightened. Some heard the howls of tigers and wolves and said they saw tigers and wolves coming down the mountain. They guessed that there was a famine in the mountains and those wild beasts came down to find food. The villagers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to go into the mountains to dig for wild vegetables.
