Although Mu Guidi was not as pretty as Zhu Xianyue, she wore her hair in a bun, which meant she was married... which made them feel even more excited.

As for Zhu Xianyue, needless to say, her delicate skin made them drool just by looking at her.

There is such a woman in the world, as bright as spring flowers and as bright as autumn moon, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

"How dare you! I'm the wife of the great general who protects our country! How dare you offend me and my little sister? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Mu Guidi stood in front of Zhu Xianyue.

"The great general who protects the country... Jiang Yunqing's woman? Ha, Jiang Yunqing killed my entire family in the bandit suppression campaign. Naturally, I have to entertain his wife!"

It would have been better if Mu Guicui hadn't said anything, but once he revealed his identity, this group of thieves became even more lawless.

"Sister-in-law, they are all desperate criminals. They have no family and no worries. They are not afraid of death..."

"Shh, don't talk. I'll delay them. You go first!" Mu Guidi whispered.

She had already used Zhu Xianyue once and could not put her in danger again.

It’s not to avoid being blamed by Jiang Yunqing, but for my own conscience!

But Zhu Xianyue came out and said, "My lords, I am willing to go with you. I promise to serve you well. Please let my sister-in-law go!"

"Nujia" was the self-proclaimed title of a lowly concubine in the Xia Dynasty, indicating that she was willing to be a plaything and let these masters control her.

"If you gentlemen don't agree, my sister-in-law and I will die to prove our loyalty!"

The noble ladies value their reputation. If they were really insulted by these bandits today, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be driven to death by rumors.

Rumors...kill people without being noticed!

"Yue'er..." Mu Guidi shed tears.

Such a good girl, no wonder Jiang Yunqing likes her and she can't bear to let her go.

Zhu Xianyue said, "Sister-in-law, the Jiang Mansion cannot do without you."

This one sentence blocked Mu Guicui from saying anything else.

Nothing could happen to her. She was the general's wife. If anything happened to her, the Jiang family would be ruined. Even if the emperor showed mercy, it would become a hot topic for everyone to talk about!

The bandits thought about it and seemed to be really threatened by Zhu Xianyue, so they finally took only Zhu Xianyue away.

He was afraid that if he didn't agree to Zhu Xianyue's request, he would not be able to get either woman.

After the bandits took Zhu Xianyue away, Mu Guidi hurriedly said, "Quick, go back and ask the general! Tell my father too! Nothing can happen to Yue'er! Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!"

"Madam, please go slower..."

Mu Guidi had never lost her composure like this before. Even when facing Jiang Yunqing, she always remained somewhat shocked.

But this time, she was really panicked.

In the capital's Yin and Yang Temple, at the feet of the emperor, several desperate criminals appeared!

They are not afraid of death! If people are not even afraid of death, then no one can do anything to them!

…

Zhu Xianyue felt something was wrong.

This group of bandits didn't look like bandits, they looked more like soldiers or killers who were trained in a concentrated manner.

There are hints in their every gesture, which seem unreasonable and arrogant, but are actually appropriate and considered.

Before them, countless people who went up the mountain were fine, but she and Mu Guidi were stopped.

Zhu Xianyue was right. Today's events were indeed arranged privately by someone.

They gave Zhu Xianyue a knockout drug, but they also observed etiquette and did not dare to touch Zhu Xianyue's body.

Zhu Xianyue fainted just like that.

When she woke up again, she was already in a hibiscus tent somewhere, covered with a soft cloud quilt and surrounded by the gentle scent of sandalwood, which made her feel relaxed and happy.

She rubbed her eyes and saw the tall and graceful figure in a moon-white robe standing in front of the west window.
