Bai Yu’s…mistress?

At this moment, Zhao Rong's words were like a bolt from the blue, making the atmosphere heavy.

Reactions were mixed.

However, women like Zhu Yourong and Yu Huaijin were sharp-minded and noticed that something was wrong between the couple who were just happily showing off their love not far away.

They all looked at the same time quietly...

A little fox demon who was bending down to tie a sachet for her lover was frozen in place as if under a spell.

“Ah…ah…?”

Su Xiaoxiao looked up blankly, slightly opened her mouth, and stammered a few syllables.

The silly smile on her little face from the previous second had not yet faded away, and now her pink lips were still curved, the smile seemed to be frozen, and her pair of fox eyes looked straight at the young scholar in front of her.

Zhao Rong looked straight ahead at Xiaoxiao.

But his shoulders relaxed slightly, as if he had let out a breath of foul air that he had been holding for who knows how long.

Finally... I said it.

Zhao Rong raised his hand and rubbed his face hard.

Then he nodded slightly at the little fox demon who was staring at him.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at her lover's face for a while, and her hand that was tying the sachet slowly retracted. However, the next second, a very romantic smile suddenly bloomed on her face:

"Is... is it the mother-in-law?"

Zhao Rong shook his head and said calmly: "You know, my mother passed away three years ago."

He paused, then nodded, "Mother, she was the previous mistress of that white jade."

The air in the flower garden was silent for a while.

The small hand that took back the sachet suddenly clenched it.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled, then quickly asked, "So... is she the younger sister or the older sister?"

She had been crying before, and her voice was a little hoarse, but her little face was full of innocence and hope.

But in the next second, his last fantasy was shattered.

Zhao Rong shook his head and said directly:

"She and I have been childhood sweethearts. She was the bride of the bridal chamber at the Three Books and Six Churches Chapel. I left Da Chu and headed north to Duyou City just to exchange the jade for her, but I met you on the way..."

"But I don't regret what I did. If it happens a second time, I will still hold your hand and won't let go."

He lowered his eyes slightly, his face calm, and narrated to her carefully:

"A lot of things have happened between her and me these days. We have cleared up our misunderstandings and our relationship has improved a lot. If you want to hear about these things, I will tell you one by one. By the way, Qingjun is also in Taiqing Mansion. She is a student of Xiaoyao Mansion..."

Su Xiaoxiao had just heard a few words when her face turned pale and her expression turned fearful, as if she had discovered some horrific scene that was about to devour her in the next second.

The little fox demon from Qiantang Mountain, who loves to wear red clothes and even more loves to dress her sweetheart in a red wedding dress, turned around and ran away!

But... there's no way to escape.

"Let me go, Zhao Rong, let me go!" Su Xiaoxiao struggled to pull her hand away in a hoarse voice.

A certain young scholar with his eyes downcast had already prepared himself, and with lightning speed, he had already grabbed her wrist tightly.

Hearing this, he even held on tighter.

"You...you let me go, wuwuwu..." Su Xiaoxiao, who had shed all her tears today, choked and sobbed.

She tried desperately to pull her hand away. At this moment, she wanted to escape from here without hesitation, escape from this bad guy who wanted to crush her fragile heart.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips, and his expression finally stopped being frighteningly calm.

"No."

He stared at her, shook his head with a firm expression, "I'm afraid you'll get lost and I'll never find you again in this life. I, Zhao Ziyu, will not do anything that I'll regret in this life."

"Su Xiaoxiao."

At this moment, Zhao Rong stared into the eyes of the struggling little fox demon and called out softly, his tone extremely serious:

"I am like this to you, and I am like this to her as well."

Zhao Rong finally said out the words that were stuck in his heart, looking a little dazed. He suddenly recalled the time on the way to Duyou City, in the heavy rain outdoors, when he stared blankly at Su Xiaoxiao who had failed in her confession and ran away sadly.

The scene and mood at that time suddenly reappeared in Zhao Rong's eyes and surged into his heart.

He took a deep breath and laughed happily:

"I want them all. You can't leave."

Su Xiaoxiao's body was trembling. Facing such a domineering and selfish lover, she felt weak and haggard.

She had tried it just now. She knew she couldn't bear to hit him, and she didn't have the courage to scold him. She was just a weak little fox demon. What could she do when facing such a bullying Zhao Lang?

When she faced the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village in Qiantang Mountain, she ran away with her tail between her legs. When she faced the fox tribe of Qiantang Mountain who wanted to marry her off, she also ran down the mountain without hesitation...

Just like her name, she is a tiny fox demon who won't even steal a chicken. She just wants to have a scholar lover and live a good life with him every day, in peace and safety, with the daily necessities of life.

So, Su Xiaoxiao would just run away and avoid things that would hurt her.

But now, this bad guy didn't even give her a chance to run...

“Zhao, Zhao Rong, I… I beg you to let me go.” The little fox demon suddenly squatted down, buried her head and cried, “Xiao Xiao was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have provoked you. I’m not worthy of you at all. I didn’t even treat you as a little vixen who stole someone’s husband. I was wrong. I won’t come anymore. Wuwuwuwu…”

Zhao Rong did not answer, but spoke seriously to himself, saying:

"Xiaoxiao, let's go have dinner together tonight and I'll take you to meet her. However, don't let her know your identity yet. Qingjun is a little weak in the heart, has a strong temper, and is also a big jealous person. Xiaoxiao, I haven't told her about you..."

He paused and raised his hand to wipe the tears of the crybaby in front of him, but the little fox demon dodged him.

The young scholar gently put down his right hand and continued truthfully:

"I want both you and her, but I'm afraid you'll run away. Before, I was thinking of waiting for the right time to confess to you one by one, so I've been trying to hide it... Now, it's really not the right time for Qingjun, Xiaoxiao, I don't want to hide it from you anymore."

After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat dead silent, Zhao Rong calmly looked at the dazed Su Xiaoxiao and said softly:

"Xiao Xiao, you can hit me or scold me if you want. Even if you really want to kill me now, I can still give you a knife..."

Seeing that the little fox demon still didn't say anything, he thought for a moment, pursed his lips and said:

"Do you have anything else you want to ask? I'll tell you everything. But some things that take too long to explain can be put aside for now because it's getting late. I'll take you to the city later to have dinner with Qingjun and let you meet her first. By the way."

Zhao Rong turned around and said to the woman in Confucian clothes who was listening silently with her eyes downcast not far away:

"Zhu Yourong, would you like to go to dinner with me tonight? Please help me... take care of Xiaoxiao."

Zhu Yourong looked up at Zhao Rong's calm expression for a while, not knowing what she was thinking. After a moment, she glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was standing there in a daze, and nodded slightly, "Yes."

The meaning is concise and to the point.

Zhao Rong didn't care too much about her and was relieved.

At this moment, a little fox demon finally spoke up. She tilted her head and said in a daze:

"Why do you do this to me?"

Zhao Rong's heart tightened, but his expression remained unchanged. He was quiet for a while before speaking softly:

"Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten what you said this morning? I can bully you for the rest of my life, as long as you know when to be bullied and don't act like a fool. And..."

He paused, then opened his eyes a little wider, as if to loosen his dry eyelids.

The young scholar tried his best to open his eyes as wide as possible, raised his head to look at the sky where the autumn geese were flying across his head, and the white clouds were pushed forward by the autumn wind, his tone was 'proud'.

"...You are the easiest to bully. Su Xiaoxiao, you are not allowed to cheat."

He opened his eyes as wide as he could, not daring to blink, but at this moment the corners of his mouth were raised: "Well, it's okay if you want to cheat, I'm holding you, and I'll catch you back even if I run to the ends of the earth."

Everyone was silent.

“…”

Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, tilted her head back, and looked at Zhao Lang in disbelief, this bad guy who was muttering the most despicable words as if nothing had happened.

She stammered with her pink lips: "You...you..."

At this time, a woman in Confucian clothes appeared beside the trembling little fox demon, holding her little face and asking seriously:

"Can I help you beat him up?"

The next second, without waiting for the little fox demon to react or respond.

With a "bang", a certain scumbag flew backwards...

He was so calm and composed just a moment ago, but now he was on his back, falling all over the place, his posture was so 'cool' that he didn't even recognize his relatives...

"Zhu Yourong! Ouch, my waist..."

Zhu Yourong had a smile on her lips. She clapped her hands and shook her sleeves.

I've wanted to do this for a long time.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Su Xiaoxiao beside her rushing out in fright as soon as Zhao Rong flew backwards.

"Zhao Lang!"

At this moment, seeing the scumbag stumble, the other people on the field had different expressions and reactions:

The little fox demon in red clothes rushed to help him without hesitation.

Zhu Yourong and Yu Huaijin watched quietly.

She stood still with her hands on her hips, looking proud.

Bifang was eating snacks with great relish, Yu Nu had nothing to do with it...

However, a girl next door who looked like a jade-like girl next to Yu Huaijin also took a step at the first moment, just a beat slower than Su Xiaoxiao who was flying forward. But the next second, she braked, but was still conspicuous.

Zhu Yourong glanced sideways, Yu Huaijin frowned, Jingzi glared, Bifang tilted her head, and the four girls looked at Li Xueyu one after another.

Li Xueyou, who was always shy, blushed and quickly retracted her foot. She waved her hands and said weakly, "Brother Ziyu fell down. Can't you help me up?"

The timid little girl seemed to be kind and helpful.

Zhu Yourong, Yu Huaijin and Jingzi: "..."

The women had no expression on their faces.

It seems that there is a traitor in the "United Front to Resist Scumbags".
