A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
Wu Liang and the others were men, so they could hold on longer, but after only two steps, they all collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as the Zhou family man walked towards Sun Yun, his demonic claws reaching for her delicate, slender hands.
Sun Yun struggled desperately, but her whole body was weak and boneless, and she had no strength to resist. She wanted to scold him, but she couldn't even speak. Her throat couldn't make a sound. Zhou Jianan moved the screen over to block Wu Liang and the others' view.
After blocking Wu Liang and the others' view, he rubbed his hands together and came to Sun Yun. His gaze fell on Sun Yun's face, and he stared at her intently, drooling involuntarily from the corner of his mouth.
"Sister Sun, the old lady said that you are my bride today. Don't worry, I will treat you well." As she spoke, she reached out to touch Sun Yun's face.
Sun Yun glared at him angrily, trying to escape his clutches, but the drug was too strong. She barely had the strength to blink, let alone escape.
Just as those hands were about to touch her cheeks, a pebble flew by, deflecting the hands. Immediately afterwards, a dagger was thrown in through the window and embedded in Zhou's left shoulder.
Zhou Jianan, in pain and anger, walked to the window. Just as he leaned out, a hand pulled him from under the window frame and threw him into the pool.
After the man was thrown into the pool, the clear water was instantly stained red with blood. The man, who had been furious just moments before, was now a corpse with a dagger stuck in his heart.
Sun Yun stared intently at the window. After a short while, a pair of hands appeared on the window frame, followed by Zhao Bi's head peeking in. Seeing that Sun Yun was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yun'er, thank goodness you're alright. If anything had happened to you, I would never forgive myself." He jumped in through the window, came to Sun Yun's side, helped her up, and said with extreme remorse.
Sun Yun looked at him warily, trying with all her might to push away the hands supporting her. However, Zhao Bi seemed oblivious to her anger and said tenderly, "Don't worry, Yun'er, I will protect you for the rest of your life."
Zhao Bi was extremely handsome, with a gentle and refined appearance, regular and elegant features, and a tall and imposing figure. Anyone with a good eye for aesthetics would think he was a refined and elegant young man.
However, Sun Yun looked at him coldly, turned around, and escaped Zhao Bi's clutches before he could react, saying, "Where does the Fourth Prince intend to take me?"
The voice was icy cold, and Zhao Bi felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
After a brief moment of surprise, his face lit up with joy, and he asked with a gentle smile, "Yun'er, are you alright? That's wonderful! I thought you had been poisoned and was about to take you to see the imperial physician."
