Rong Xiu subconsciously reached out, grabbed Hua Yuanzhao's wrist and pulled her back, protecting her behind him.

"Lord Hua, Miss Hua is treating my younger sister, so she should be received by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Rong Xiu said politely, but his attitude was extremely strong.

"My mother should have discussed this matter with you." Rong Xiu glanced at the crowd watching the show and added deliberately.

Prime Minister Hua was dissatisfied. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had indeed looked for him, but he did not say that Hua Yuanzhao would be allowed to stay in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a few days!

Gu Changsu felt even more upset when he saw Rong Xiu's hand holding Hua Yuanzhao's wrist. This Rong Xiu was simply lawless!

"When did the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion become the official doctor of your Zhenguo Mansion?" Gu Changsu asked righteously, "Is the Zhenguo Mansion so overbearing?"

"Now that Lord Hua wants to take his daughter home, does the Duke of Zhenguo want to stop even this?" Gu Changsu asked sternly, "Or is this what Miss Hua wants?"

He stared at Hua Yuanzhao with sharp and sinister eyes. If Hua Yuanzhao dared to nod, she would be unfaithful, unfilial and disobedient to her parents!

Rong Xiu frowned slightly and was about to retort, but Princess Changle's words involuntarily came to his mind.

——Life is hard for women, and not everyone has the capital to act recklessly like you do!

Rong Xiu didn't say anything, and Gu Changsu thought he was at a loss for words, so he looked at him with contempt.

Gu Changsu flicked his sleeves, raised his chin and sighed condescendingly: "Why, Rong Shizi is speechless now?"

He pretended to say, "You've been meddling in Miss Hua's affairs all day long, ruining her reputation, but you've never come to propose marriage..."

At this point, Gu Changsu laughed: "After all, Rong Shizi is a man who has killed enemies in battle, how come he doesn't even have this little bit of responsibility? Is he playing with the feelings of the eldest lady of the Hua family?"

By now, he and Rong Xiu had already torn their relations apart. Since the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was destined to be unwinnable, he would definitely not allow the Prime Minister's Mansion to form a marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!

Otherwise, if the Prime Minister's Mansion goes back on its word and joins forces with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to join others, wouldn't he fail in his plan?

"Third Prince, please don't use yourself as a benchmark to judge others! I can't learn such dirty thoughts!" Rong Xiu couldn't stand it anymore and started to retort.

He tilted his head to look at Hua Yuanzhao who was standing next to him. Half of her body was hidden in the shadows, and her expression was unclear.

Rong Xiu's heart skipped a beat and his palms began to sweat from nervousness.

——After hearing that bastard’s nonsense, Zhao Zhao couldn’t have misunderstood, right?

He lowered his voice and said hastily: "Don't worry, since I have ruined your reputation, I will definitely take responsibility to the end! As long as you nod, I--"

I will come to propose marriage immediately!

“Murder!”

"The cook killed someone!"

Before Rong Xiu could finish his words, he was interrupted by shouting from Fanlou.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Fanlou was in chaos, with men and women screaming and hiding in corners.

The cook in blood-stained clothes waved the gleaming boning knife, chopping and howling like a madman.

"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

"Don't come over here—"

The cook stumbled out while chopping, as if something was chasing him.

Gu Changsu was standing at the door with Hua Yuanshan. He was slow to react and when he was about to hide, it was too late.

Seeing that the boning knife in the chef's hand was about to fall on him, Gu Changsu subconsciously grabbed the woman next to him and pushed her in front of him to block the knife.

Being caught unexpectedly, Hua Yuanshan was so frightened that she couldn't move and could only watch the cold light strike down.

In a flash, Rong Xiu swung the sword in his hand and threw it towards the cook.

The handle of the knife hit the cook's wrist, and the cook was knocked flying. The boning knife in his hand deviated and scratched Hua Yuanshan's arm.

The moment the blood exploded, Hua Yuanshan was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, covering her arm and screaming.

Shihu rushed forward and subdued the mad cook with one grappling move, knocking him unconscious.

Everything happened in a flash. The people gathered around patted their chests in fear, their eyes lingering between Gu Changsu and Rong Xiu.

The two men were confronting each other at the door. Gu Changsu stood on the moral high ground and criticized Rong Xiu. Even the onlookers felt that Rong Xiu was a good-for-nothing.

But after something happened, the difference between the two people's performances was immediately apparent! The scale in everyone's heart tilted unreservedly towards Rong Xiu's side.

Rong Xiu patted his sleeves and was about to speak when a commotion broke out.

"There's a ghost! A ghost——"

"A madman is hacking people! Help—"

In just a moment, the whole street seemed to be in chaos, with people going crazy and making trouble everywhere.

"Young Master." Shihu knocked the cook unconscious with a palm and looked at Rongxiu anxiously.

No matter whether he goes crazy or sees ghosts, these matters are now under the investigation of our little ancestor. If the Jinwu Guards are not deployed to control the situation, this little ancestor will definitely be punished!

Rong Xiu frowned and tilted his head to look at Hua Yuanzhao: "Miss Hua, I..."

"This is the remaining antidote." Hua Yuanzhao stuffed the medicine into Rong Xiu's hand and said, "Go save people first."

The streets are full of innocent people, saving them is the most important thing!

When she was at the princess's mansion, she asked for medicinal herbs and Qionghua and prepared some antidotes, hoping that they would come in handy!

Rong Xiu was worried, but he also knew that he couldn't afford to delay any longer, so he didn't act pretentiously.

"Be careful." Rong Xiu hurriedly ordered and turned to leave.

Hua Yuanzhao looked at his back in a daze. There were crowds of people everywhere on this long street, and who knows how many people would get hurt if a commotion suddenly broke out.

"Evil girl! What are you standing there for? Come and bandage your sister!"

Prime Minister Hua's voice was like thunder, exploding in Hua Yuanzhao's ears, startling her and pulling her out of her thoughts.

Hua Yuanshan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She looked at the blood on her arm in fear and asked crying, "Dad, am I going to die soon..."

Prime Minister Hua was angry and anxious. Seeing Hua Yuanzhao standing there without moving, he couldn't help but yell, "Come and bandage your sister!"
