"Kill him? Yes." The guard looked up in shock, then quickly nodded.
He Miaoxue panicked; she never expected Zhou Cheng to be so ruthless.
She, a weak woman, traveled thousands of miles to find him! She even implied that he could do whatever he wanted to her, even submit to him.
But the other party wasn't tempted at all?
"Zhou Cheng, you can't kill me! I didn't mean it that way! I just wanted you to save Sister Yun! Waaaaah, I don't want to die! I don't want to! Miss Cheng, I was wrong, please save me..."
"Zhou Cheng, have you forgotten?"
“Back when we were in the capital, I spoke very well for you. You can’t treat me like this.”
"Waaah, let me go! I don't want to stay in Jiangling City anymore! I want to go back! I want to go back to the capital!"
He Miaoxue was terrified and cried out for mercy.
Seeing Zhou Cheng's ruthless expression, as if he wanted to beat her to death.
He Miaoxue was terrified and no longer cared about her disheveled and beautiful appearance. She cried so hard that tears and snot covered her face, and could only place her hopes on Cheng Xianyi.
What happened next was exactly what she had hoped for.
Cheng Xianyi, who maintained her harmless persona, did indeed speak up.
Under He Miaoxue's desperate and devastated gaze, the voice that came out of her mouth was like heavenly music: "Acheng, hand her over to me."
"Whoosh—"
He Miaoxue suddenly raised her head, thinking she had completely escaped a disaster, and quickly nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, please hand me over to Miss Cheng, I'll never dare to think such things again..."
"If I had known that Miss Cheng was not missing and was still in Jiangling City, I would not have come. Why should I come to suffer this?"
"Sister Yun is really something, she didn't even explain things to me clearly, boohoo!"
Zhou Cheng gave He Miaoxue a cold, sharp look.
He winked at the guards, who immediately took He Miaoxue to the barracks.
He Miaoxue was so happy that she cried when she left.
Seeing that excited smile, Ziyan felt a pang of sympathy... Fool, do you really think your master is kindly saving you?
You're doomed, you know that?!
Ziyan shook her head and looked at Zhou Cheng again.
Zhou Cheng didn't ask the reason at all, nor did he care how Cheng Xianyi would deal with this woman... He just felt that his fiancée was too kind and easily deceived!
"You."
"The people outside are treacherous; what will you do if you're so soft-hearted?"
Zhou Cheng looked at Cheng Xianyi with an tolerant gaze, reached out and pulled her slender waist into his arms: "I won't pursue it if you just shed a couple of tears when you see someone. But what if you get betrayed one day? Wouldn't you be heartbroken and cry?"
Zi Yan clicked her tongue in surprise: "???"
Does this mean the master isn't going to pursue the matter?
She clearly looked like she was going to do it herself!
Cheng Xianyi buried her head in Zhou Cheng's arms, a slight smile playing on her lips: "No, I'm not soft-hearted. I just don't want to see her die like this, and Cheng won't watch me get deceived."
Zhou Cheng patted Cheng Xianyi's head and sighed softly in resignation.
No one wanted to see He Miaoxue die, yet they said they hadn't softened their hearts.
His simple and kind-hearted fiancée was lucky to have met him, otherwise she would have been deceived a hundred or eighty times over.
“Ah Cheng.”
"Um?"
"It seems I can't accompany you on this expedition." Cheng Xianyi raised her head, her eyes filled with reluctance, and said softly, "Father caught a cold and has a persistent high fever. I'm worried about his health."
"I want to stay and take care of him for a few days, and then I'll come to see you after his fever breaks."
"Uncle Cheng?" Zhou Cheng asked in surprise, "Wasn't he full of energy yesterday? How did he suddenly fall ill?"
"I just got sick." Cheng Xianyi replied sincerely, afraid that Zhou Cheng would become suspicious and ask more questions. She nodded earnestly and added the time: "Yes, about fifteen minutes ago."
She had just instructed Ziyan to bring a basin of ice water and poured it over Grand Tutor Cheng, chilling him to the bone. In this sub-zero temperature, the weak and frail Grand Tutor Cheng immediately collapsed on the bed from the cold.
