After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

These thugs were all burly and strong, while Bai Zunyue looked very thin; it was obvious at a glance who was stronger.

Ye Yuwu extended Er Kang's hand, "Have mercy!"

She was almost too scared to watch. She subconsciously closed her eyes when the big man's fist hit Bai Zunyue's face. Sure enough, the scream came as expected, but something was wrong with the sound.

Huh? Why do I hear screams coming from all directions? It doesn't seem to be just one person screaming, Ye Yuwu thought to herself.

Then she quietly opened one eye, and after seeing what was happening not far away, she naturally opened the other eye. Both eyes were wide with astonishment, without a trace of embarrassment!

Several thugs were knocked to the ground, howling and screaming, unable to get up at all.

On the spacious open ground, only one tall figure stood. As if sensing Ye Yuwu's surprised expression, he glanced at her.

He wore a black brocade robe that was spotless, and his cold and handsome face was exceptionally striking. His eyes were beautiful, but his expression was too indifferent, as if nothing could catch his eye. This gave his exquisite face a cold and aloof air that kept people at a distance.

Ye Yuwu was a little embarrassed; it seemed that the one who had shown mercy was actually referring to Bai Zunyue.

"A wife who has shared hardship? Hmm?" Bai Zunyue easily dealt with the group of thugs, turned around and walked towards her. His clear, cold voice had a strangely alluring quality, which gave Ye Yuwu goosebumps.

"My lord, please speak normally," Ye Yuwu thought to herself.

"Haha, Lord Marquis, let me explain." Ye Yuwu gave an awkward laugh. Oh no, she almost blurted out what was on her mind.

"Girl, run!" The burly man, who had just been beaten up, saw Bai Zunyue approaching Ye Yuwu and immediately shouted at her, fearing that she would be "caught" and taken back by the unfaithful man.

Then he cursed at the Marquis's retreating figure, "You gigolo who lives off a woman? How can you treat your wife, who accompanied you all the way from the village to Bianjing for the imperial examination, like this? She's pregnant with your child!"

Ye Yuwu's face instantly turned pale, and she dared not look at the expression on the face of the Buddha in front of her.

"No, no, no, brother, please stop! I'm not pregnant with his child..."

"Girl! You've cheated on me?!" the burly man exclaimed in shock.

Fine, let them destroy it. They keep interrupting her. Now that she's confirmed these thugs are complete idiots, she'll just give up and stop explaining.

"..." Bai Zunyue was a little confused.

“My child.” He narrowed his eyes dangerously as he looked at Ye Yuwu.

"Yes, yours!" Satisfied?

Just then, another person arrived outside, dressed in casual clothes made of coarse cloth and with his hair neatly tied up.

Ye Yuwu didn't know who they were, but they happened to hear her say those words.

The guards who had just entered to clean up the mess for the Marquis were shocked: the Marquis had gotten the girl pregnant!

Others: Oh my god, what did I just hear? Is this something I could possibly know?

Qianfan, the servant who finally caught up with the Marquis's light-footed skill to arrive here: My goodness, no wonder the Marquis was in such a hurry!

Seemingly noticing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, Ye Yuwu realized she had gone too far and quickly explained why the situation had turned out this way.

Fortunately, no one interrupted her this time, and she was finally able to explain herself clearly.

After she finished speaking, her mouth was dry, she looked up and saw Bai Zunyue sitting in front of the tea stall looking at her with a half-smile.

"Are you done talking?" He then casually pushed the tea in front of her.

"Uh, I guess so." She picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"Quite intelligent."

"I can't compare to you, Lord Marquis." Ye Yuwu almost rolled her eyes. Was he being sarcastic? Right?

Qianfan, who was serving the Marquis, said: Well, it seems that the young master has disappeared without a trace.

"Now that I have explained everything, I wonder if the Marquis will allow me to leave?"

As dusk fell, Ye Yuwu realized how frightened she had been. Who knew that she had been so naive and fearless, daring to fool these thugs? Luckily, they were easy to deceive.

Do you remember the disbelief on the faces of these burly men when they were captured by Bai Zunyue's men? How did the top scholar become the Marquis of Wu'an?

Bai Zunyue did not answer, but stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked outside, gesturing with her eyes for Ye Yuwu to follow.

Qianfan, who was standing to the side, immediately understood his meaning and took out a silver coin from his waist and placed it on the table.

"Be more careful next time, don't go too far." He paused for a moment, "The staff at your bookstore are all very worried about you."

Ye Yuwu didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words. She just assumed that he was on official business and happened to save her. Although she didn't need his help to leave at the time, he was the one who saved her.

However, when Ye Yuwu thought about how the original owner had pestered him before, he felt a little embarrassed. But they just happened to run into each other again. It seemed that he should stay far away next time. He had saved him time and time again, and he must be annoyed by seeing him. In order to repay the Marquis, he would definitely stay far away next time!

Ye Yuwu clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

But she spoke well of him.

Unaware that someone was already thinking of getting away from him, Bai Zunyue walked ahead of her with his hands behind his back, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Unbeknownst to them, as Bai Zunyue appeared in front of the tea stall, a familiar figure also appeared in the shadows not far from them, secretly watching them.

This person was Qi Jingyue. After discovering the familiar aura, he quickly concealed his own presence. Once he had hidden himself, he saw Bai Zunyue's face.

He was genuinely surprised that Marquis Wu'an would appear here, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to know Ye Yuwu, which piqued his interest.

Tsk tsk, I never expected that the cold and aloof Young Master Bai would care so much about a merchant's wife. How interesting. I wonder what abilities this Manager Ye possesses.

After confirming Ye Yuwu's safety, Qi Jingyue left. If he didn't leave soon, he would be discovered by the perceptive Bai Zunyue and his bodyguards.

They cannot confront each other yet, and they certainly cannot let him know that he is currently in Ye Yuwu's bookstore.

Ye Yuwu followed behind the tall and slender Bai Zunyue. Night fell, and the starlight, as fine as dust, shone on Ye Yuwu's heart. They didn't take a carriage; they could walk back to the bookstore.

But she didn't know that this was a small punishment from a certain marquis, also to make her remember this road so that she wouldn't get lost next time.

They walked in silence. Before they even got close to the bookstore, someone approached them from a distance with a torch. Before Ye Yuwu could react, Huaping rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"Girl, where have you been? You scared us to death!"

The little girl was so frightened that she didn't cry. Ye Yuwu stroked her hair and comforted her.

As the torches drew closer, Ye Yuwu saw the people in the bookstore.

While everyone was anxiously searching for her, they were suddenly informed by Marquis Wu'an's attendant that Manager Ye had been found and was on her way back. Worried, everyone went out to greet her.
