When Gu Ziyi led his men in and stormed in, all they heard was a cacophony of screams.

The commotion was so great that even the esteemed Crown Prince was startled, thinking something had happened to the little dumpling.

Even though he knew that Zhui Feng was personally watching over him, Gu Ziyi couldn't feel at ease unless he saw the little dumpling jumping around in front of him unharmed.

Gu Ziyi glanced coldly at the other Zhou Wukui's advisor that Han Xi was carrying, and quickly headed into the courtyard.

"Pear!"

Gu Ziyi rushed into the courtyard nervously, her eyes immediately locking onto the little man she hadn't seen in a long time.

However, the scene of the little dumpling being bullied, which I had imagined, did not appear. Instead, the little dumpling in the pale yellow dress stood arrogantly on the artificial hill in the center of the courtyard, making faces at the careless soldiers below from every angle.

Beside them, Zhui Feng stood far away, protecting Xia Ning. While binding Zhou Wu Kui tightly, Zhui Feng helplessly gave his late-arriving master a look.

Xia Ning's eyes were full of admiration; she had clearly become a little fan of Li Li and was excitedly cheering her on.

Lili made a "six" gesture with both hands and placed them next to her temples, shaking her head and sticking out her tongue: "Hehehe, two eggs under your eyebrows, you have eyes but can't see! You can even trip yourself while walking."

Unfortunately, all the officers and soldiers fell to the ground, grimacing in pain. They had only tripped, but the pain was excruciating, and they couldn't get up.

The little girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking smug. Her messy hair did nothing to stop her from exuding an arrogant aura. Her two little tufts of hair swayed back and forth, as if saying: Come here!

Gu Ziyi: ..........?

Glancing at the chaotic scene, Gu Ziyi waved for Han Xi to lead a cleanup team, while he himself walked helplessly to the foot of the artificial hill, looking up at the little dumpling laughing hysterically.

Oh dear, he's overthinking it. How could this little dumpling let others bully her?

She's the only one who bullies others.

Gu Ziyi looked at her with eyes full of tenderness.

"Lili, come down."

Gu Ziyi reached out his hands to catch her, wondering how the little dumpling had climbed up there. Was she born in the Year of the Monkey?

"Oh, Brother Ziyi!"

Lili was quite happy to see Gu Ziyi. After all, she had just been disgusted by that greasy prefect, and Lili desperately needed a handsome young man to cleanse her eyes.

Lili lifted her skirt and jumped into Gu Ziyi's arms with a thud.

Gu Ziyi caught her steadily, and then heard the little dumpling in his arms sniffling and crying, "Waaaaah... Brother Ziyi, they bullied me!"

The subdued soldiers: "......."

Zhui Feng and Xia Ning: "........."

Who bullied whom? qAq

Gu Ziyi chuckled as he wiped away the two tears she forced out: "I'll avenge you."

This terrified Han Xi. Why was his master acting like he was letting her have her way?

Since following Gu Ziyi south to the border, Han Xi had been staying in Yuncheng. Although he had occasionally heard of Shen Lili's name in letters, this was the first time he had seen her in person, and also the first time he had seen his young master's indulgent manner.

Zhui Feng was already used to it, and shook his head at him: "Not used to it, are you? Don't understand? It's okay. You'll get used to it after a while."

Han Xi: "......."

Xia Ning, on the other hand, only realized why the name Zhui Feng sounded familiar when she saw Gu Ziyi.

Isn't Zhui Feng the head of the Crown Prince's personal guards?

Xia Ning was stunned and quickly went over to bow: "This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gu Ziyi nodded casually and put Lili down: "You play with Lili for a while."

Then, with great patience, he said to Lili, "After I clean all this up, how about I take you out for a big meal?"

These words resonated deeply with Lili. She hadn't slept well all night, and this morning she wasn't even given food. Plus, she was being forced to use her brain and hands. Lili was starving: "Okay!"

Gu Ziyi smiled, ruffled the little tuft on her head, and instructed his subordinates to take Lili and Xia Ning to freshen up before listening to Zhuifeng's report.

His Highness the Crown Prince arrived in person, making no attempt to hide it, and openly informed everyone that His Highness the Crown Prince was there to arrest people.

Lili was happy to relax. Anyway, Zhuifeng had heard everything he needed to know, and Gu Ziyi would handle the rest. Now, all she wanted was to take a nice, relaxing shower and have dinner.

Gu Ziyi was in a hurry on this trip and did not bring any maids or servants. His men only knew that the maids originally in the prefecture were serving him.

The entire prefectural government was under the control of Gu Ziyi's men. The maids were terrified and naturally dared not offend them, serving their two young masters with utmost respect.

Zhou Wukui truly knew how to enjoy life; he built a large pool in each courtyard for his concubines to soak in hot springs.

Xia Ning and Li Li soaked comfortably in the pool. Xia Ning didn't know how long it had been since she had felt so comfortable, not only physically but also mentally.

Ever since she was kidnapped, she hasn't had a single day of peace.

Xia Ning was truly grateful to Li Li.

"Lili, thanks to you, I don't know what I would have done without you."

Lili chuckled: "Actually, I didn't do anything."

It's nothing more than drawing a circle to curse you.

qvq

To be honest, if it weren't for her good fortune, she really wouldn't have dared to do these things.

So, she didn't actually put in much effort.

Xia Ning didn't think so. What Li Li did today really gave her a little shock.

Especially when Zhou Wukui took off his pants, and she thought she was doomed, Lili actually pulled out a pair of scissors, and then...!

As Xia Ning thought about it, her face turned red.

She felt only shame at the time; she couldn't even bear to look at a man's body. Moreover, since the man was the wicked Zhou Wukui, she dared not look at his bare body, finding it utterly disgusting.

However, Lili was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was very brave.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to do what Lili did... well... kill with one blow?

"Lili, I've never admired anyone in my life, but you are the person I, Xia Ning, admire the most!"

Seeing Xia Ning's face flushed red, half of her face exposed in the water, and her whispering words of admiration to her, Li Li blushed as well.

Hehe, in all my years, this is the first time a girl has ever spoken to me like this.

Girls are truly the cutest and most genuine creatures in the world!

No wonder her junior at the research institute got turned gay; Lili feels like she'll be too...

Seeing Lili staring blankly with a silly grin, Xia Ning asked, "Lili?"

"Huh? Oh!" Lili snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and coughed a little embarrassedly, "Ahem, I mean, I'm so happy that I can help Sister Xia Ning."
