Bai Zhirou felt relieved, she knew that she had escaped danger again this time!
Bai Zhirou was right. After that group of elite soldiers joined the battle, the situation suddenly turned upside down, and the men in black became the ones being crushed.
Qiu Tong and his companions were able to catch their breath, but they were all injured to varying degrees. Mrs. Qiu cried anxiously. As a peasant woman, the worst injury she had ever seen was Qiu Tong rolling down the hillside and breaking his leg.
Qiu Tong was now shot by several arrows and almost turned into a hedgehog. How could she not feel distressed and scared?
Just when they were about to catch all the men in black, they suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground uncontrollably!
After a while, all ten men in black fell silent!
"Death squad! They are actually death squad!" Chen Zhao widened his eyes in disbelief!
Training a death squad requires huge financial, material, human and time resources. Qiu Tong and these three bandits who changed careers halfway actually made the mastermind spend such a huge price to eliminate them!
Bai Zhirou also realized the seriousness of the matter. She didn't think Qiu Tong was worth the other party sending out death squads to eliminate him!
Could it be that half of these people were coming for her?
But this is not impossible. Qiu Tong and the other two received timely treatment. Because the house was burned down, Bai Zhirou took them with her when she left.
The small carriage suddenly became narrow, but this was an emergency, so Bai Zhirou endured it.
The assassins he sent out never returned, and Xia Mingyang paced anxiously in the study.
Prince Rong also frowned. This time, he paid a huge price to get rid of the three kidnappers!
"Is this foolproof?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, father, this will definitely succeed!" Xia Mingyang's face was solemn, but his heart was beating fast.
He asked the doorman where Bai Zhirou was going, but he didn't expect that she actually ran to Qiu Tong. Isn't this a good opportunity to catch her in one fell swoop?
Xia Yuning was peeling lychees for Princess Rong. After removing the skin, the fresh and juicy flesh suddenly appeared in front of her.
These lychees come from the distant Lingnan, which is now Bai Zhirou's fiefdom.
They went to buy some, but unexpectedly spent a hundred taels of silver.
For a wealthy royal palace, this amount of money is naturally nothing.
Princess Rong ate one with her hand. The moment she bit it, the fresh juice burst out in her mouth and the sweet taste spread all at once.
Princess Rong narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Today, she got rid of two major worries and got such sweet food. She was in a very good mood.
However, her joy did not last long, as a servant came to report that Princess Mingzhu had returned.
Princess Rong's expression instantly turned cold, and Xia Yuning's smile disappeared.
Her elder brother had clearly promised her that he would get rid of the three kidnappers, Bai Zhirou and Qiu Tong, at the same time!
How could we let that bitch Bai Zhirou come back alive?
Bai Zhirou and Ming Cui entered the mansion, but Princess Rong who was waiting there was startled.
"Is the sun rising from the west? The princess would actually come here to pick me up." Bai Zhirou lowered her chin and smiled at the corners of her eyes.
Princess Rong's face was tense. She looked her up and down several times before she had to admit that Bai Zhirou had indeed returned alive.
Xia Yuning dug her long nails deep into her palms and forced a smile on her face.
"Sister Zhirou, what are you talking about? Mother is just trying to show concern for you. You're a woman waiting to be married, but you're running around all day instead of staying at home. It's not good for your reputation."
Xia Yuning brought up her reputation as a chaste and heroic woman again, and Ming Cui rolled her eyes.
Xia Yuning even stepped forward and took her hand. "Today, the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife came to discuss your marriage with Chen Zhao. If you want to cancel the engagement, I'm afraid you can't."
Xia Yuning tried to see a trace of sadness and anger on her face, but she only saw a smile in her eyes.
"The betrothal gifts are all in my yard. I have to go back and take a look!" Bai Zhirou shook off her hand and happily rushed to Haitang Garden with Mingcui.
Prince Rong and his son, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly walked out.
Bai Zhirou is actually not dead!
Then wouldn't the assassin he sent out be in great danger?
Xia Mingyang also thought of this. His back was covered in cold sweat and he didn't dare to look at Prince Rong's expression.
"Father..." He had just said these two words when he was kicked to the ground by Prince Rong!
Xia Mingyang fell to the ground but didn't dare to lie there for too long. He immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Prince Rong.
Princess Rong and Xia Yuning's expressions froze, and they were both filled with deep worry.
Princess Rong wanted to go forward and help the man up, but was scolded by Prince Rong.
"Don't help him! He is more likely to cause trouble than to help you! Kneel down here and reflect on yourself!" Prince Rong snorted coldly and walked out.
Princess Rong then helped the man up with a distressed look on her face, brushed off the dust on his robe, and said with a distressed look on her face, "Don't blame your father for being ruthless. He is also doing this for the good of the entire Rong Palace."
Xia Mingyang never blamed Prince Rong, he just began to doubt his ability to do things.
Twice, this is the second time! Bai Zhirou escaped death from his hands twice!
He angrily pounded his fist on the pillar next to him.
The vermilion columns were shaken violently by his blows, and dust fell from them.
Xia Yuning held his fist with heartache and wiped his joints with a handkerchief.
Just now, all the bones in my fingers turned red and blood was faintly visible.
Her heart ached and her eyes were filled with tears.
Xia Mingyang pulled his hand back awkwardly, said goodbye to the two of them and left in a hurry.
Bai Zhirou returned to Haitang Garden and saw boxes of betrothal gifts in the yard, including a pair of live geese.
Geese are loyal and monogamous birds. Once one of them dies, the surviving one will never find a new partner.
Bai Zhirou found it very novel and couldn't help teasing it.
Mingcui found the gift list and checked it one by one, and discovered that the Ru kiln celadon glaze three-legged washbasin, three pieces of specially made embroidered pieces from the Jiangning Weaving House, and three pieces of kesi robe material with a hundred children pattern were missing!
Bai Zhirou stopped smiling when she heard this.
Since she and Mingcui are not here, has this courtyard gate become just a decoration?
An outsider tried to peek in, but Mingcui scolded him and he walked in with his neck shrunk.
It turned out to be green lotus.
"Princess, I have something to report!" As soon as she approached, she knelt in front of Bai Zhirou.
"Speak." Bai Zhirou snorted coldly. Don't delay her from asking for an explanation!
Lu He then told the whole story like pouring beans!
It turned out that the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife had just come to the mansion to discuss the marriage this morning, and sent the betrothal gifts in the afternoon.
Just as it was put away, Princess Rong came in and took away a lot of things. The missing things were the same as what Ming Cui had just checked!
Bai Zhirou painfully rewarded Luhe with one or two taels of silver and asked her to follow her to ask for something from Princess Rong.
