The first thing Chen Xin did when he returned was to rush forward and throw the sword in his hand to Hong Yu, then give Liang Shuyi a big hug: "Are you all okay? Did those imperial guards do anything wrong?"
Liang Shuyi personally saw Chen Xin return safely and unharmed. She choked up and said, "No, it's okay this time. They didn't dare to come in. I heard from my mother that the last time Bai Jingfei came, he put on a big show in my house."
Chen Xin hugged his wife, and finally he felt truly calm: "Let him do whatever he wants. Sooner or later, he will know how powerful we are."
After Duke Liang coughed twice, Chen Xin finally let go of his hand and asked, "By the way, father-in-law, I just saw two fireworks on the city wall. What's going on?"
When the Duke's wife heard him ask this question, she immediately answered, "Nothing, just reinforcements have arrived."
The Duke was completely bewildered. What reinforcements? What reinforcements? He hadn't even realized what had just happened. "What reinforcements?"
Liang Shuyi asked blankly, "Dad, don't you know what Mom said?"
Amidst the Duke's wife's faint laughter, Duke Liang spread his hands and said, "How would I know? Look, your mother just heard the sound of fireworks outside and immediately urged me to bring this. I'm still confused."
The Lady of the Duke of Liang finally explained, "I simply felt that we were unsafe living in the capital, under the 'protection' of Tianshu Tower. I knew you wouldn't agree, so I made my own decision and contacted the King of Shu."
Upon hearing the title of King of Shu, Duke Liang's expression suddenly changed: "...You, you wrote him a letter, personally?"
The Duke's wife smiled playfully, "Yes, I wrote it."
Duke Liang froze in his place for a moment, then began madly circling around everyone with his hands behind his back. When he felt he had no choice but to accept the situation, he anxiously asked, "How many words did you write? What did you write? Did you mention me? How did the King of Shu reply?"
At this point, Liang Shuyi probably understood what had happened. The Duke's wife said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Alright, that's all old news from many years ago. You're so old, and you're still jealous, in front of the children. Aren't you ashamed?"
Duke Liang put his hands on his hips and said, "I don't care. Once we're safe, I want to know all the details of the whole thing!"
"Yes, yes, yes." After the Duke of Liang calmed down, the Duke's wife took off the hairpin in her hair and handed it to Chen Xin, instructing her, "Ah Xin, take my hairpin, go out from the west gate, and go ten miles southwest to find the people who are bringing reinforcements. They shouldn't be the army of Shu. If my guess is correct, they should be a group of death squads. There won't be too many people, and they will definitely come in handy."
Chen Xin looked at the handkerchief that came into her hands along with the hairpin, and subconsciously asked, "What is this?"
The Duke's wife spread out her handkerchief, revealing the seal mark on it, and explained, "This is the seal of the King of Shu. Without it, even my hairpin is useless."
"clear."
Duke Liang stared at the handkerchief with the seal of the King of Shu in Chen Xin's hand with wide eyes. If the situation was not urgent, he would have washed the handkerchief clean: "...I am so angry. If I had known earlier, I would not have been this idle prince!"
Seeing his father fuming, Liang Shuyi hurried over to comfort him, "Alright, Dad, calm down. If you think about it this way, you snatched my mother from the hands of the King of Shu, and now you have a well-behaved and lovely daughter like me, and now you have a lovely granddaughter. The King of Shu is watching the flowers blooming in the harem every day, so how can he enjoy the happiness of family life like us?"
After hearing her say this, Duke Liang couldn't help but nod his head after thinking about the 3,000 concubines in the Shu Palace who had nothing to do but stir up trouble all day long. His mood instantly improved a lot: "They say a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket, but my Shuyi is still good at talking, so comfortable! Okay, Ah Xin, you can go!"
To go outside and meet up with the King of Shu's men, only Chen Xin was needed. With so many people in this mansion, if there wasn't someone she trusted, Chen Xin really wouldn't be able to leave with peace of mind: "Miss Hong Yu..."
After returning the sword that Chen Xin had just thrown to her, Hong Yu said, "Stop being so girly. Save your energy and just call me Hong Yu like A Chen."
Chen Xin bowed his head and said, "Hong Yu, I'll trouble you with my family and the Khan."
Hong Yu smiled slightly, and the little red dot that had been flying and spinning around her also flashed its light at this moment, as if talking to them: "Don't worry, my little baby is quite excited today."
...About half an hour after Chen Xin left, a red firework rose outside the city. After confirming that Chen Xin had successfully reunited with the rescuers from Shu Kingdom, Liang Shuyi was just about to sit down to rest for a while and drink some water while waiting for Chen Xin's return. He picked up his teacup, and the terrifying wailing sounds outside the city instantly resounded through the night sky.
The residents of Gyeonggi Province, who originally thought that everything was over and that they could at least sleep well today, now hide in their homes because of these horrifying noises, not daring to go out, let alone make a sound, for fear that the zombies outside the city will suddenly rush in from outside the house.
The moment the teacup in Liang Shuyi's hand fell to the ground, if Hong Yu hadn't grabbed it, she would have rushed out of the house in the next second. Liang Shuyi couldn't get rid of Hong Yu's hand, so she had no choice but to plead with her while pulling her away: "Hong Yu, I beg you, let me out!"
After Hong Yu let her go, he pushed her towards the Duke's wife and said, "My current mission is to ensure your safety. Don't worry, Chen Xin won't die so easily."
The Duke's wife didn't know martial arts, and because of this, Liang Shuyi didn't dare to struggle free. She could only cry and say, "But I really can't stand the noise outside! Mother, I beg you, please let me out!"
After Duke Liang came over to help hold Liang Shuyi back, his wife also said, "You have to listen even if you don't want to. Anyway, I won't let you go."
Liang Shuyi's eyes were red from crying as she turned her gaze back to Hong Yu. "...I won't go out. How about this? You go and help him. Helping him is okay, right? Hong Yu, you also went through what happened with Mo Yu back then. You must know how I feel now, right?"
Even though she brought Mo Yu out, Hong Yu remained unmoved. Back then, she could watch Mo Yu die in battle according to her will in the dark without helping him, and now she could stop Liang Shuyi from seeing Chen Xin.
