But under the influence of the drug, it was extremely difficult to stay awake. Thinking of this, the maid prepared to shout without hesitation.

As long as she follows His Highness's instructions and attracts the person over, she can win a chance of survival and also take the opportunity to rely on him.

Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow. Outside the house, in mid-air, a small stone passed through the crack of the door and hit a certain acupuncture point of the maid at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, the maid who was struggling to lead the crowd over fell to the ground again, unable to make any sound or move.

Shen Jingwen and Ning Wan were both shocked at this scene. Looking at the silent maid, an idea came to their mind: Kill her to silence her?

Almost instantly, Shen Jingwen pulled Ning Wan's hand with a little force, and with a tug, he pulled Ning Wan behind him and protected her:

"Don't be afraid."

Ning Wan was slightly taken aback by the gentle comfort:

For some reason, she always felt that at a time like this, the most important thing they should do is to flee the crime scene and then create an alibi.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, Xiao Qi quickly discovered the cause of this sudden change. Fearing that the host might misunderstand him, he quickly reminded:

[Host, don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, it's one of us.]

At this moment, Chunqin and Luzhu couldn't help but tremble their pupils, and even their bodies were shaking slightly: their future son-in-law was right.

But if someone found out that they were here and there was a dead person in the room, wouldn’t they be misunderstood?

They can't let the young lady be charged with murder!

Just when Chunqin and Luzhu were about to speak up to persuade the young lady to leave quickly, something unexpected happened again.

A black-clad secret guard appeared from nowhere, landed in front of Shen Jingwen, and half-knelt on the ground:

"Jiyue is late, please punish me, sir."

Ji Yue was a secret guard left by the eldest prince Jun Mu in Rongping County to protect Shen Jingwen.

He should have rescued Shen Jingwen the moment he was hit, but he didn't expect that the Third Prince had been prepared and had sent a group of assassins to guard the way he came, waiting for him to come out.

If his martial arts skills were a little worse, and if Ji Xue had not appeared in time, he would probably be the one lying on the ground dead today.

Shen Jingwen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ji Yue in front of him, and he had already guessed something in his heart. He reached out and helped the person up: "It's okay, you came in time, get up."

It seems that this is someone left behind by Jun Mu, but I don’t know how long this person has followed him.

After seeing that Shen Jingwen was really not angry, Ji Yue also stood up and looked at the other three people. When she was wondering whether to explain, Shen Jingwen spoke.

"They are one of us, don't be afraid."

Chunqin and Luzhu, who were standing by, saw this scene and completely ignored Shen Jingwen's words. They couldn't help but get nervous and shrank behind Ning Wan, grabbing their young lady's sleeves again:

It seems their future son-in-law also has a secret that cannot be revealed. Could it be that they are also...

"Don't be nervous." Ning Wan, who was being held, looked at the two little tails beside her and patiently comforted them softly, "It's okay."

However, before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, another black-clad secret guard appeared, with a person clearly visible on his shoulders.

And that person was the unconscious Jun Yan.

At this time, Jixue was filled with resentment:

What about being both civil and military? If His Highness had not insisted on concealing his strength, he would not have been able to withstand a single blow in the duel that day. How could he be allowed to bear this title?

Did you think you could be safe just by hiring a killer? They were just some noobs.

What Ji Xue hates most is the despicable method of drugging.

Originally, his mission was to stay by Ning Wan's side and protect her as requested by His Highness, never leaving her side. However, he unexpectedly saw Mr. Shen who was being plotted against, and Ji Yue who was nearly killed.

Don’t you like to drug people?

Then let him suffer the consequences!

The moment Jixue appeared, Jiyue promptly explained to the others, "Mr. Shen, Miss Ning, this is Jixue, a martial arts expert sent by His Highness to protect Miss Ning."

[Tip: Congratulations to the host for gaining the protection of the fish pond owner *Jun Mu. The new fish pond owner has a decent temper, please be aware of this.]

Ning Wan: Hmm?

Seeing the host's confusion, Xiao Qi calmly explained: [Host, Ji Xue is the eldest prince Jun Mu's man.]

“Is this also considered a fish pond owner?”

For some reason, Ning Wan always felt that the definition of fish pond owner seemed to be slightly different from what she understood, and was not what she thought.

[Host, of course it counts. Generally speaking, the main principle of a fish pond owner is to protect the fish in the pond and keep them safe. When necessary, they can be traded or eaten.]

[A situation like yours is exactly the kind that can be traded.]

[Jun Mu sent someone to protect you, which was equivalent to giving Shen Jingwen a guarantee that he could work for him with peace of mind.]

Ning Wan: “…”

Well, I have to say that Xiaoqi is really good at giving examples.
