Princess Rong hadn't been able to eat or sleep well in the past three days, and she had lost weight visibly.
Prince Rong was also in a state of low spirits.
With such a big thing happening in the mansion, Concubine Li didn't dare to act up anymore. Today, she knew Bai Zhirou was coming, so she sent someone to secretly invite her over for a talk.
Princess Rong was so worried about Xia Yuning that she had no time to care about Bai Zhirou.
After passing through a rockery and following the path, you will arrive at Concubine Li's courtyard.
The purple hydrangeas in the yard are in full bloom, and the bunches of them look very lively.
Concubine Li had already prepared tea and snacks, and after Bai Zhirou sat down, she personally poured tea for her.
It was another refreshing jasmine tea, but it was far inferior to the one brewed by Nanny Ruan.
Bai Zhirou took a sip and put down the teacup.
"I wonder what important matter the Concubine called me here for?" She had given Concubine Li a little sweet treat before, hoping that she could keep Prince Rong's heart.
"Of course I want to thank Princess Mingzhu for giving me a new life." Concubine Li said gratefully.
She touched her belly, which had not yet bulged, her face full of happiness.
Ever since she became pregnant, Prince Rong has been almost obedient to her and would agree to any request as long as it wasn't too out of line.
Now that Xia Mingyang has become a useless person and Xia Yifeng is a disappointing person, the remaining Xia Minglang is nothing to be feared.
If she really gave birth to a son for Prince Rong, her future status would definitely be higher than that of Princess Rong!
"If you work harder and hold on to Prince Rong's heart, all the wealth and glory will be yours." Bai Zhirou narrowed her eyes as she looked at the hydrangeas blooming in the sun.
Concubine Li followed her gaze and nodded slightly.
After leaving Concubine Li's place, Bai Zhirou met Xia Mingyang.
The brother and sister looked at each other, one with a sad face, the other smiling calmly.
"Bai Zhirou, I didn't expect you to be so cruel. I almost died in prison!" Xia Mingyang said coldly.
"So what? You're about to kill me, and I should show mercy to you? I'm not sick." Bai Zhirou rolled her eyes slowly.
Xia Mingyang was choked by her words. "If Yu Ning returns safely today, I will forgive you. If anything goes wrong with her, you can expect to be severely punished by Mother!"
Bai Zhirou didn't take him seriously at all. She walked over leisurely with Mingcui and stopped when they passed him.
"By the way, remember to bow to me next time you see me. Considering that this is your first offense, I will not pursue the matter." Bai Zhirou smiled lightly and walked away arrogantly.
Xia Mingyang was so angry that he drew the sword from his waist and turned around to chase after him.
But before the tip of the sword touched Bai Zhirou at all, three extremely sharp swords were pressed against his throat, chest and abdomen.
If he couldn't control his strength and moved forward another inch, he would die on the spot.
"I forgot to tell you that Qiu Tong and the other two are my princess's personal guards and have the authority to get rid of bad guys for me." Bai Zhirou didn't turn around, but her red lips moved, making Xia Mingyang feel cold all over.
Everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion waited for a whole day, but until dark, there was still no sign of Xia Yuning.
Princess Rong's heart grew colder and colder.
The daughter she raised with care in her hands!
Is it just gone like this?
As she was sobbing and crying, a sound of breaking air was heard.
A golden hairpin was deeply embedded in the pillar next to Princess Rong, with a piece of paper stuck on it.
Prince Rong took the things away, and the letter told them to take the silver and go to Jixian Pavilion, thirty miles away.
Princess Rong recognized the golden hairpin as the one Xia Yuning wore on her head when she was abducted that day.
Prince Rong and his wife immediately took their men to Jixian Pavilion.
When the prince heard the news, he quietly left the palace.
The sky was dark, and the carriage was hung with a lantern that made people angry.
Bai Zhirou didn't want to miss this historic moment, so she drove the carriage there.
"Princess, there's no need to worry about that vicious woman Xia Yuning. We don't need to get involved in this mess." Ming Cui didn't understand Bai Zhirou's behavior.
"I'm worried about her? You think too much. I just want to see how miserable she is." Bai Zhirou was talking to Ming Cui on the surface, but she was actually looking at the map panel in the air.
The outside of Jixian Pavilion, thirty miles away, was covered with small gray dots, and it was obvious that the other party was well prepared.
After a bumpy ride, the group finally arrived outside Jixian Pavilion.
A woman's crying could be heard from far away, and it sounded a bit creepy in the pitch-black suburbs.
But the voice was clearly Xia Yuning's.
"Excuse me, are you from Duobao Tower? I have money, please let my daughter go!" Prince Rong shouted with a gloomy face.
Sure enough, there was a movement in the pavilion. "One hand over the money, the other hand over the person."
The man walked out slowly, escorting Xia Yuning. The torch on the pillar swayed in the wind, making his figure look like a ghost.
Prince Rong went up with the silver. Princess Rong also got off the carriage. Seeing Xia Yuning being caught by the criminals, her face turned pale with fear.
When the two sides met, the villain borrowed some silver, pushed Xia Yuning hard, and whistled loudly.
In an instant, the bushes became crowded with people, and dozens of thugs with machetes jumped out.
They rushed towards Prince Rong and his family of three with ferocious faces. At once, the guards led by Prince Rong drew their swords and rushed forward.
But the other side had more people and more power, and one could defeat ten, so the guards were quickly defeated.
Xia Yuning was shaking with fear. Seeing the big knife coming down towards her, she pushed Princess Rong out.
Princess Rong, who was still protecting Xia Yuning, was not paying attention for a moment and was pushed by Xia Yuning, causing her to stagger and uncontrollably crash into the knife edge.
The sharp blade flashed with cold light, reflecting Princess Rong's panicked face and the villain's hideous smile.
She turned her head to look at Xia Yuning. She wanted to ask why he pushed her to the edge of the knife?
With a "clang" sound, a long sword pushed away the big knife, and Qiu Tong joined the battle with Ma Da and Bai Liu.
Princess Rong fell to the ground, but survived.
After training, the three men's fighting power has been greatly improved.
Bai Zhirou walked in slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
In comparison, Xia Yuning and Princess Rong looked extremely embarrassed, completely losing their former dignity and virtue.
Bai Zhirou helped Princess Rong up and brushed off the dust on her body.
Princess Rong was still looking at Xia Yuning in disbelief as she had just pushed herself forward to block the knife without hesitation.
"Yuning, why did you push me out? Why?" Princess Rong asked with a sob.
The moment she was pushed out, countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but she rejected them one by one.
She still couldn't accept that her beloved daughter pushed her out without hesitation at the critical moment of life and death.
"I, I'm not, I didn't." Xia Yuning denied incoherently, tears streaming down her face unconsciously, and the scar on her face became even more hideous.
