After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Seeing the carriage being pushed and swayed violently by the crowd, Meng Yu suddenly pushed off with both feet and soared into the air from the horse's back.

Then, he drew his sword from his waist, made a sword gesture with one hand and twirled the sword with the other. After a few "swish, swish" sword strikes, more than half of the dozen or so people fell to the ground, their cries of agony filling the air.

The rest of the people, seeing that things were not going well, scattered in all directions. The middle-aged man who had lost his purse was the fastest to run.

“Feng Zhao,” Meng Yu said calmly.

"Yes."

Feng Zhao suddenly leaped up from the ground, his figure moving like a ghost as he chased after the middle-aged man.

Then, Meng Yu's sword flashed and pointed at Mo Yan.

"Go, go report to the authorities."

Mo Yan glanced at the people lying haphazardly on the ground, then at the carriage, and hesitated.

"Mo Yan, go ahead. Tingzhi and Young Master Meng are here, nothing will happen," Gan Cai'er said to Mo Yan as she opened the carriage door.

At this point, if she still couldn't see that these people were after her, she would be truly foolish. With Meng Yu present, reporting the matter to the authorities was indeed the best solution.

The Danzhou government might not care about the life or death of a commoner like her, but they dared not ignore the safety of the young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Upon hearing Gan Cai'er's words, Mo Yan quickly left and ran towards the government office.

Meng Yu jumped onto the carriage shaft and plopped down.

He raised his chin and said to Lan Tingzhi, "Are you just going to leave those swallow darts on your person for show, or are you just using them for decoration?"

"How did you know I had a swallow dart?" Lan Tingzhi was quite surprised.

Meng Yu was suddenly taken aback. How did he know that Lan Tingzhi always carried a swallow dart?

"Young master, the man has been brought back." At this moment, Feng Zhao returned, escorting the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man kept cursing, "Who are you people? What do you want?!"

"Why are you arresting me?! You must be in cahoots with thieves, not only trying to steal my money, but also taking my life~~~~"

"We want to ask the righteous official to set an example for us!"

"Murder! Robbery!"

"Help! Someone help me!"

......

Meng Yu frowned as he listened, extremely impatient.

"Noisy!"

"Feng Zhao, tell them to shut up. If anyone howls again, cut out their tongue."

The scene fell silent. Everyone could see that this man was a living devil; if he said he would cut out a tongue, he would definitely do it.

Meng Yu was satisfied.

He bent one leg and placed it on the carriage shaft, leaning lazily against the carriage door, languidly and casually pointing towards Lanting.

"You and Feng Zhao go and tie all these people up."

"And what about you?" Lanting asked.

"Me?" Meng Yu smiled lazily, "Of course I'll just watch you two do it."

Lan Tingzhi was very indignant, but seeing that Feng Zhao was about to tie up seven or eight people by himself, he finally stepped forward to help.

"You noticed their trickery a long time ago?" Gan Cai'er asked Meng Yu through the car door.

"Hmm." Meng Yu gave a casual "hmm."

Why didn't you say anything to warn me?

"Would a reminder be of any use? Besides, I'm the kind of person who likes to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

"Young Master Meng, please be careful with your words!"

"Hehe, where did I say anything wrong?" Meng Yu chuckled.

"Am I unworthy to be called a hero, or is my wife not a beauty?"

Meng Yu's voice was flippant, mocking, and arrogant.

Gan Cai'er was so angry that her liver hurt. The slight gratitude that had just arisen vanished instantly.

After a while, Lan Tingzhi and Feng Zhao finally finished tying up all the people who had fallen to the ground.

Feng Zhao thoughtfully pressed acupoints to knock them unconscious, fearing that they might say something inappropriate that would annoy Meng Yu and make him want to kill them.

"Young master, the men are tied up." Feng Zhao stepped forward and reported, "I noticed that these men don't seem to be ordinary people. Their hands are very smooth and have no calluses."

"Tsk, tsk, young lady of the Lan family, where did you get yourself into such big trouble?" Meng Yu clicked his tongue lightly.

Gan Cai'er remained silent.

Aside from the Wu family, she hadn't offended anyone. It seemed Lan Tingzhou was right; the Wu family wouldn't let her off easily, even though she hadn't done anything wrong.

At that moment, she suddenly felt very fortunate that Meng Yu was here today. To suppress tyranny, besides the laws of nature and the state, there is only an even greater tyranny.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Meng, for today's matter."

No matter how dissatisfied Gan Cai'er was with Meng Yu, she still had to say thank you.

"Tsk, this verbal thanks are far too insincere. How about Miss Lan hosts a feast another day to express her gratitude properly?"

"Don't go too far!" Lan Tingzhi couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward, shouting, "Seeing injustice on the road and drawing your sword to help is what a chivalrous person should do. How can you take advantage of the situation to demand repayment?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Meng Yu raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face.

What about me would make you think I'm a chivalrous person?

“You, you…” Lanting was speechless with anger.

Just then, Mo Yan returned with a group of yamen runners. The leader was Zhao Lei, the head constable.

Zhao Lei recognized most of the unconscious people on the ground; they were all notorious thugs in the neighborhood, who idled away their time, causing trouble and extorting money from people.

However, the fact that they were all injured and half-dead was a major headache for him. The reason these people were able to continue committing crimes was because they had powerful backers.

He can't take the blame for this.

He waved to his men, signaling them to drag the man on the ground back to the yamen and detain him. Then, he said to Meng Yu and the others, "Please come with me to the yamen to give a statement about what happened today."

"Go to the government office? I don't have time for that!"

"If you have any questions, come to my residence to ask me after I have finished my business."

"Now that you've taken the people away, quickly disperse and don't block the way."

Meng Yu waved his hand impatiently, his tone condescending and utterly impolite.

This was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Zhao Lei had been a policeman for over a decade; he had enough sense to see through him, and immediately led his men away.

The carriage broke down and couldn't move, so Mo Yan stayed behind to repair it. Gan Cai'er and the others had no choice but to walk to Jinxiufang, which was fortunately not far away.

Gan Cai'er and Xiao Hong jumped down from the carriage one after the other.

Change can happen in an instant.

Gan Cai'er sensed something was wrong behind her, and then the next moment, she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms, knocked to the ground, and covered from head to toe.

"Crackling~~"

"boom!!!"

After a series of explosions, Gan Cai'er smelled a strong gunpowder smoke.

"Young master~~~ Young master~~~"

Gan Cai'er heard Feng Zhao's horrific scream.

A person was pressing heavily on her, their warm breath brushing against her ear, their head drooping to the side of her neck, seemingly unconscious.

Feng Zhao rushed over and was about to pull Meng Yu off her when she suddenly shouted sharply, "Stop! Don't touch him!"

Feng Zhao paused, not daring to move again.

"Where's Xiaohong?"

"Miss, I'm here, I'm alright."

Where is Tingzhi?

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine too."

"Young Madam, I'm fine," Mo Yan said before Gan Cai'er could ask.

"You guys, lift him up a little, and be as gentle and slow as possible," Gan Cai'er instructed.

Then, taking advantage of the slight gap created by her being lifted up, she struggled to crawl out from under him.

Meng Yu's condition was terrible; a large section of his back was torn open, and his flesh and clothes were mixed together, a dark and gruesome sight.

"Xiao Hong, go fetch the doctor. Mo Yan, go buy some wine. Ting Zhi, give me your swallow dart."

After giving a series of instructions, Gan Cai'er picked up the swallow dart and began to clean the clothes on Meng Yu's back that had been damaged by the explosion.

Her hands were steady, and her face was calm, without a trace of panic, as if she had done this many times before.

The situation wasn't too bad. Meng Yu was wearing a soft armor close to his body, which protected most of his body. He only had injuries on his shoulders and waist. Although they looked bloody and mangled, they were actually just superficial wounds.

Gan Cai'er let out a long sigh of relief.

Mo Yan ran back carrying a jar of wine.

Gan Cai'er familiarly reached into Meng Yu's clothes, took out a small white jade bottle, poured out a dose of medicine, forced it into Meng Yu's mouth, and then drank a large mouthful of wine.

Feng Zhao stood aside, dumbfounded, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.

How did she know that the young master carried the life-saving "Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill"?!

Do you also know that the "Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill" needs to be taken with wine to maximize its effectiveness?

Who is this woman?!

At this moment, Meng Yu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze shifted from blank to focused, finally settling on Gan Cai'er. He stared at her intently, his eyes seeming to hold a thousand unspoken words.

In the end, it all boils down to a single, soft sentence.

"Nannah."

Meng Yu's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing her sweet dream, so soft that only Gan Cai'er could hear it.

When Gan Cai'er heard this, it was like a thunderbolt striking her head, terrifying her so much that she froze instantly! Her body stiffened, and she dared not move an inch.
