Before she could figure it out, An Miaolan, standing in the woods, urged impatiently, "Knock her out and throw her aside. Aunt will handle it. Don't let her delay our business!"
Having received this instruction, Cui'er no longer hesitated. She stepped forward, raised her hand, and chopped at Zhuangyou's neck.
Zhuangyou was personally selected by the Prince of Hengchang, who commands a million iron cavalry, and placed to serve Cha Nian. How could she be an ordinary maid?
The gentle light in her eyes suddenly turned sharp. She easily grabbed Cui'er's raised hand, and then, to the other's astonishment, twisted it behind her back.
"ah!"
With a cry of pain, as Zhuangyou let go, Cui'er fell to the ground, writhing and clutching her arm.
Zhuang You's usual gentle and beautiful face was now as cold as ice, her gaze sweeping over An Miaolan, the arrogant young lady of the Xingbai Marquis's mansion.
An Miaolan was taken aback by Zhuang You's imposing manner and involuntarily took two steps back, her haughty expression frozen on her face, making her look particularly comical.
"Woof! Woof!"
With a fierce bark, a huge dog suddenly appeared not far behind Zhuangyou and was running towards her at high speed.
By the time An Miaolan reacted, the big dog had already darted past her and was running straight toward Zhuangyou and the little baby.
An Miaolan turned pale with fright, glanced at Zhuangyou with a sinister look, turned around and ran towards Shouci Palace with her skirt up, not even paying attention to Cui'er wailing on the ground.
Zhuang You turned around and saw the big dog running towards her. There was no panic on her face. She even put away her fierce aura and threw away the hairpin that she had just snatched.
Cui'er, on the other hand, had just recovered when she saw the large dog rushing towards her. She screamed and fainted from fright.
The young palace maid Xia Yi also screamed in terror. Her body went limp, and when she saw the big dog running over, she frantically tried to pick up the little baby and run for her life.
However, she was trembling all over, and her hands were shaking so badly that the little boy grabbed her and pulled her out.
"Little princess?!" Xia Yi screamed, trying to rush over and grab the little bundle of milk, but her legs were too weak and she knelt down on the ground.
When the big dog ran over, the little dumpling also ran to Zhuangyou's side.
Actually, the big dog wasn't going at its fastest speed, because it still had a rope attached to its neck. At the other end of the rope was a dirty, dusty little ball, not much bigger than a baby bun, with something in its mouth that said, "Tiger Baby, Tiger Baby, where are we going?"
"Woof woof woof... Waaah—"
The only response to the child was a few barks from the big dog. However, the dog's usual fierce howling suddenly stopped as it got closer, just like the dog, and its voice became soft and melodious.
Xia Yi stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at the scene in disbelief.
Then, the big dog, which was originally much taller than the little kitten, lowered its front legs to the ground as it got closer, while its tail kept wagging.
Finally, the big dog whimpered and lay down in front of the little bundle of milk, its head slightly raised as it lay on the ground, its dark, bright eyes looking up at the little bundle of milk.
The little bundle of joy, with its dimples, crouched down and ruffled the big dog's soft fur. "Wow, your fur is so soft!"
Behind the big dog, the little girl, panting as she followed, also looked at the now quiet Tiger Baby in surprise, and after a long while, she finally managed to utter, "Tiger... Tiger Baby, you're all better? You're not biting anymore?"
