"Hiss..." The man hissed in pain, but a wicked smile still lingered on his face.
The little baby was perched on top of the two of them, unable to see the man's face, but hearing his voice, there was a sudden sense of familiarity.
However, the little boy didn't take it seriously and quickly forgot about it.
The woman glanced coldly at the shameless man and asked coldly, "Tell me who you work for, and I'll be merciful and give you a quick death!"
To everyone's surprise, the man was not afraid at all, and continued to smile and joke at her.
The woman lost her patience, and suddenly raised the hand holding the hairpin, stabbing it hard into his shoulder.
Upon seeing the woman's movement, the man suddenly dodged away.
Then, the woman felt a blur before her eyes, and the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.
"You—" The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then blew a sharp whistle to call out her accomplices who were lying in wait. She herself kicked the man, trying to stop him from escaping.
The man's expression hardened, and he dodged the maid's kick, causing her full-force kick to land on the large tree behind him.
However, just as the man was about to leave, he suddenly heard a scream from above.
"ah--?!"
The man's pupils dilated, he stopped in his tracks, and looked up sharply, only to see the little baby falling from above.
Without a second thought, the man kicked the troublesome palace maid aside, leaped up, and caught the falling baby.
"Ah! Sister Zhuangyou, Sister Zhuangyou!" The little baby who had fallen was terrified, tears streaming down his face. He clung tightly to the man's neck, calling out to Zhuangyou in a trembling little voice.
Almost the instant the man received the baby, Zhuang You appeared behind her, her pupils constricted and her face deathly pale.
"A little princess?!"
However, by the time Zhuangyou could see what was happening, the man had already landed with the little baby in his arms.
At that moment, the accomplices summoned by the palace maid also arrived. Judging from their clothing, there were palace maids and guards, about twelve or thirteen of them.
"Quickly..." Kill him!
The palace maid had barely opened her mouth when she was struck by Zhuangyou's palm, coughing up blood and cutting off her words.
Zhuang You gave her a cold look. Just now, it was this palace maid who kicked with internal force, but instead of hitting the man, she kicked the tree behind them, which shook the little baby who was lying there watching the fun down.
Having dealt with the palace maid, Zhuangyou looked at the little baby with lingering fear. Seeing that the little baby was safe and sound, she immediately stepped forward to take her little darling home.
However, the man dodged aside and quickly distanced himself from her.
At the same time, in the blink of an eye, a group of black-clad shadow guards appeared around the man, surrounding him completely.
The palace maid and her accomplices, upon seeing these shadow guards appear, immediately blended into the crowd of palace maids and guards who had come upon hearing the commotion, disappearing without a trace.
Upon seeing this, the man suddenly lost his seriousness and became nonchalant.
He held the little baby tightly, gently patted her bottom, and threatened her with a wicked grin, "A crying baby will be eaten by the big bad wolf."
The little baby, who was wailing loudly, suddenly stopped crying, his heart skipped a beat, and he hiccuped pitifully, whimpering and looking around with his little head raised.
"Sister Zhuangyou!" The little boy saw Zhuangyou through teary eyes, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes again. He kicked his little legs and tried to jump on Zhuangyou.
