The little girl sent by the second concubine to look for someone was originally blocked at the door of the mansion. The soldiers guarding outside had guns in their hands, and when they saw someone they didn't know, they wouldn't let anyone get close.

The little girl was so anxious that she introduced herself as the second concubine.

"Master, this matter is indeed extremely urgent. Our Second Concubine can't stop him. If the Young Master doesn't go, then the Ninth Concubine will be in trouble!"

The person who could guard the gate of the mansion was naturally a soldier trusted by Xu Hanshan, and he also knew Xu Hanshan's background. Even if he knew little about the second concubine, he had heard a little about her relationship with Xu Hanshan's biological mother.

Only the Second Concubine knew about it, but the Ninth Concubine...

Wasn't she going there to bring good luck to Mr. Xu? What does it have to do with their general?

However, the sergeant was afraid of ruining Xu Hanshan's plan, so he said, "Then I'll go in and tell you."

The little girl hurriedly said: "Then General, please hurry up, otherwise we will be late!"

Unexpectedly, the sergeant turned around and bumped into Adjutant Chen who was walking out. Adjutant Chen was dissatisfied: "You are so impatient, what are you in such a hurry for?"

The sergeant reported everything the little girl said to Adjutant Chen.

When Adjutant Chen heard this, he immediately remembered his general's suggestion to exchange beads.

On the way back that day, he saw with his own eyes Xu Hanshan put the red veil and the sandalwood pillar together, and they are still placed in Xu Hanshan's bedroom.

So he immediately ran in and told Xu Hanshan himself.

"General, someone came from the Xu family's Second Concubine's place and said that the Ninth Concubine was in trouble!"

So this is the scene we have now.

As soon as Xu Hanshan entered the gate of the Xu Mansion, he heard the gunshot, so he came here. Before he even went in, he saw the sneaky figure of the Seventh Concubine.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Hanshan said coldly.

The muzzle of his gun was still pointed at the Seventh Concubine's heart. This time, there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind. How could the Seventh Concubine dare not tell the truth?

"Master, it's the First Madam confronting the Ninth Concubine in there."

The Seventh Concubine was also frightened. It was not a confrontation at all. It was clearly Bai Yuzhi holding a gun and crushing the First Concubine, scaring everyone into running away.

Xu Hanshan thought that Bai Yuzhi was being bullied by Guan, so he used his gun to push away the Seventh Concubine who was in the way and walked inside.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Bai Yuzhi with tears on her face. Her empty eyes made Xu Hanshan almost immediately ignore the gun in her hand.

When the second concubine saw Xu Hanshan come in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and told him everything that had happened here in a concise manner.

"The eldest wife insisted on coming to teach the ninth concubine the rules, so we followed her."

The meaning of this statement is very clear, that is, Bai Yuzhi was living well in this house, but Guan insisted on making trouble and setting rules, which led to the current situation.

When the eldest wife saw Xu Hanshan coming, she was also frightened. She had been staying in the Xu Mansion all year round and had no regard for the outside world, but she still knew that Xu Hanshan had brought troops yesterday.

I haven't seen this kid for many years, and he has become more and more difficult to mess with.

Xu Hanshan looked at the eldest wife, who stiffened her neck and said, "Hanshan is back. I'm dealing with women's affairs. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to get involved."

Adjutant Chen followed Xu Hanshan with a smile on his face. When Xu Hanshan heard what Guan said, he didn't want to pay attention to her, but as an adjutant, he had to stand up and speak.

"Madam Guan, it's not right to say that. The entire Xu Mansion belongs to our general. Whose business is it that shouldn't be interfered with?"

This ungrateful old woman really thought that the Xu Mansion was in her pocket.

The eldest wife's face was stiff: "Who are you? How can you interrupt when our masters and I are talking?"

Adjutant Chen didn't get angry, so he smiled and replied, "I'm afraid the Madam has misunderstood. I'm the general's adjutant, and I have about a thousand people under my command."

How many people can you have in your Xu Mansion? Chen Kangnian has thousands of soldiers under his command. Guan is not worthy of calling him a slave.

When the eldest wife heard this, her face turned pale.

Even Xu Hanshan's adjutant has thousands of soldiers. How powerful is Xu Hanshan now!

She looked at Xu Hanshan.

But Xu Hanshan was in no mood to pay attention to Guan.

"Are you scared?"

Xu Hanshan walked to Bai Yuzhi and grasped the gun that Bai Yuzhi was holding with his hand. His voice was not very gentle, but it was lowered a little, which made it sound soothing.

Bai Yuzhi didn't think that Xu Hanshan was deeply in love with her now. After all, he was a warlord who had achieved his goals in troubled times by relying on his own iron-blooded tactics. He was no different from a local tyrant.

This feeling reminded Bai Yuzhi of the previous two worlds, when she had a destined bond with Yin Fuxiang and a past relationship of redemption and being redeemed with Ren Gui. But for Xu Hanshan, it was really starting from scratch, more like when she first took on a mission, when everything depended on her own skills.

Bai Yuzhi was trying to figure out how to answer so as to deceive the warlord.

To Xu Hanshan, the moment she thought about it, she looked as if she was frightened and stunned. She looked as dazed as a cat that curled up when frightened.

"Young Master Xu..."

In the end, Bai Yuzhi chose to say nothing.

The Second Concubine had already explained the whole story. Even though she was not speaking from Bai Yuzhi's perspective, but rather explaining everything as objectively as possible, she had already explained it after all.

Everything is excessive or insufficient. If Bai Yuzhi said it again at this time, no matter what method he used, it would seem very deliberate.

It’s better not to say it.

Anyway, for a smart and suspicious person like Xu Hanshan, only appropriate silence can give him more room for imagination. When the first impression is good enough, Bai Yuzhi believes that Xu Hanshan will automatically fill in a reasonable and pitiful mental journey for her in his mind.

Judging from Xu Hanshan's subsequent actions, this is indeed the case.

He held the gun, walked around Bai Yuzhi, and held her in his arms.

To others, the distance between the two of them was so close that their skin was touching, but only Bai Yuzhi and Xu Hanshan knew that there was still some distance between them.

It wouldn't cause Bai Yuzhi, a girl who maintains the image of a lady from a noble family, to show obvious resistance and maintain a pseudo-safe distance.

However, everyone knows what this embracing posture means to a man. It is the possessive and protective desire that is at work. He wants to protect the girl in his arms and bring her into his circle.

Just like when a man puts his arms around the back of a girl's chair, it is a sign of possession and a declaration of sovereignty that does not allow others to get close.

Bai Yuzhi certainly knew that this represented Xu Hanshan's coveting of her, but Miss Bai, who had never experienced love, should not know this.

So she took it for granted that this hug that didn't feel like a hug was really like what Xu Hanshan said.

"This gun should be fired like this."

He was teaching her to aim and then shoot.

It's not the tiger that's trapping the cat within itself.
