Just when we were enjoying each other's company, there was suddenly a light. Bai Lu came in with a brazier in her hand. Seeing this, she immediately covered her face with embarrassment, put down the brazier, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Yunwen was awake. I was just afraid that it was too dark here, so I sent some light. I didn't mean anything else. I'm sorry if it ruined our mood. You can continue as if I didn't exist."

After saying that, she hurried to evacuate. With the light of the fire, I also saw Yunwen frowning. She shouted, "Wait a minute."

Bailu didn't dare to leave and stayed at the door. Seeing Yunwen's expression, I thought she must be in a bad mood and it must be related to Song Bailu, so I wanted to explain to her, but before I could say anything, she spoke to me first and said, "Song Bailu, did you let her in?"

I said, "Yes."

Seeing this, she bit her lip, her face looked a little ugly, and she kept coughing. I was about to help her calm down, but she pushed me away and said, "Zhou Bo, what do you mean? This place was built by you and me, and now you invite Song Bailu in. Don't say whether she has bad intentions again. Even if she has no purpose, she shouldn't live in the house we worked hard to build for nothing. This house is for you and me to use as a wedding room. What do you mean by calling her in now? You are still thinking about marrying three wives and four concubines, and you are still looking at the bowl and thinking about the pot. You are still greedy for Song Bailu's body, right?"

I sighed and said, "Of course not. Let me explain."

She shook her head, her face becoming uglier and angrier, and some blood started to flow from her mouth. She said, "Zhou Bo! She is a poisonous snake, don't you understand? She has repeatedly tried to take you away from me and drive me away from you. Haven't you realized how terrible she is? Don't you really want the two of us to live a good life?"

I couldn't get a word in. Yunwen was angry, and at this time Song Bailu came forward and said, "Zhang Yunwen, I know you have a deep grudge against me, and I have no way to defend myself. What you said is indeed what I usually do. I will not deny it, nor will I defend it, but you don't have to blame Brother Zhou Bo. He just wanted me to treat your injuries and reluctantly let me stay in for a while. There was no other reason for what you thought, not to mention that he would be greedy for my body. That is even more unbelievable. You misunderstood him. I'm sorry to disturb your world of two people. I will leave. Thank you Brother Zhou Bo for giving me an afternoon to stay and a meal. I am satisfied."

After saying that, Song Bailu bowed and was about to go downstairs. I hurried to get out and shouted, "It's so late, where can you go? Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

However, she did not listen to these words. Then I heard her footsteps gradually getting farther and farther away, until I heard the sound of the courtyard gate being opened. She had left and closed the door.

Out of consideration for Yunwen's face, I didn't dare to chase her out. I could only stand at the door of the house and look at the brazier.

I turned back, holding the brazier and put it aside. The room was much brighter. I sighed, then brought the potato pancakes and soup over and said, "Yunwen, you are weak. Don't be angry yet. I was indeed inconsiderate and didn't take your feelings into consideration. I sincerely apologize to you, but I was really afraid of delaying your treatment. I happened to see Bai Lu who was stranded on the way, and I thought I would save you first, so I brought you back. I really didn't think about anything else. But now you are fine, you have recovered, and you don't need Bai Lu anymore. I'm leaving now. Let's eat something first."

Yunwen remained silent, and the whole room fell into silence. She turned her face away, obviously still feeling a little uncomfortable. After a moment, she said, "Do you really think so?"

"I'm more afraid of losing you than making you angry, so I just want to protect your life," I said.

She pouted, her expression softened a lot, took the food and drink from my hands, but put them aside, and said, "Well, I shouldn't have doubted you on this point. Besides, why did Song Bailu leave without saying anything? Isn't she always timid and cherishes her life? Now there are wild beasts and wolves outside, it's very dangerous, doesn't she care about her own life?"

"She was afraid that you would get angry and something would happen, so I punished her because I had already given you several clear orders and stern warnings before. Besides, this time when she came here, she was indeed not like before. During the time when we were unconscious together, she had been taking care of us. Afterwards, she did all the work and just cooked. She was afraid that you would be unhappy, so she left immediately without delay. She did everything just to please us." I said.

"She does this to gain sympathy, right?" Yunwen said.

I sighed and told her about Bai Lu's experience. Yunwen was slightly moved by what she heard and her expression was no longer cold but softened.

"You also know that everything she did was to please her sister. She treated you like that before because Song Yingchun had a strong possessiveness of me. Although I was also wary of her and afraid of her bad intentions, I finally felt that leaving her alone outside, without light, without brightness, and nowhere to go, would only be coveted or even attacked by wild beasts. It was not a proper behavior. Even if we can't keep her, we should send her to a place to live tomorrow during the day so that she has a chance to survive. After all, she saved us again this time, especially you." I said.

Yunwen frowned again, then threw back the quilt and tried to stand up, but I stopped her. She said, "Zhou Bo, you're right. I was impulsive. I have to go get him back."

I knew Yunwen wouldn't be that persistent. After all, she is a considerate girl.

So I asked her to have a good rest, and then I hurried downstairs with a torch, led Sanfu, and went out of the courtyard gate. After closing the gate, I rode my horse to look for her. Fortunately, as I thought, she really went up to Diaolou Mountain, but I intercepted her halfway. As I rode forward, the wolves and dogs that followed her retreated. She didn't stop, but kept shaking her hands at me, crying, "Go back, sister Yunwen will be angry, don't worry about me."

"Bai Lu, listen to me, it was Yunwen who asked me to find you and take you back. Don't leave, otherwise I won't be able to find you and she will be really angry. In order to let me report well, get on the horse and go back with me." I said.

After hearing this, she sniffed and stopped, saying, "Really? Don't let your feelings be hurt because of me. I really don't mind."

"It's true, come up," I said.

She was skeptical and got on the horse. I asked her to hold the torch while I rode back. As we were going down the mountain towards the post house, I accidentally heard some unusual movement. I whistled at Bai Lu and then stopped the horse. I listened carefully and saw something sparsely around. I could hear that the sound was very similar to those of wild beasts, but the frequency of their movements was completely different, and the rustling sound when they stepped on the fallen leaves and grass was also different. It was clearly something with two feet.

"Damn, it's the hyena people, Song Yingchun is trying to find out about our situation!" I muttered.

Bai Lu was silent. When it came to Song Yingchun, she probably didn't want to say a word more.

In order to prevent Yunwen from getting into trouble, I shouted loudly and rode back on my dragon horse. Those hyena people were scared and fled in all directions. While fleeing, I seemed to hear some sounds of iron pieces clashing, but I was too lazy to pay attention to them. What I was more worried about now was whether Yunwen would be ambushed, especially when they took advantage of my absence.

We went back to the yard, closed the gate, and fastened the bolt. Bailu and I dismounted, and I tied up Sanfu. As we were heading back, I saw Bailu standing in a daze in the middle of the courtyard. I was wondering why she stayed there, but I saw someone standing right in front of her. The torch was lit up, and it was Yunwen standing there, with a look of concern on her face.

I hurried over, supported her, and said, "Why did you come down? Didn't I ask you to wait for me?"

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I just want to see you come back soon."

Bailu stood there in a daze, not daring to move, just looking at Yunwen, and I didn't dare let Bailu in, for fear that Yunwen would be upset. At this time, Yunwen walked towards her, took Bailu's hand, and said, "No matter what grudges we had in the past, let's go inside and talk about it first."

Bai Lu nodded, unable to hold back her tears.
