Mu Wan'er was caught off guard and her identity was revealed in public.

She never expected that she rarely appeared in front of others and was not even an eye-catching presence in the Lin Mansion. How could she be recognized here?

The dagger in her hand was clasped tighter on Wen Yao's neck.

Because no one knows better than her: tonight, she will not be able to walk out alive.

Before Lin Jiaoyue left, she told her that as long as she could hold off the group of people in front of her and buy time for them to escape, she would be successful.

She thought that no one here knew her identity and she could be entangled with it for a while.

But who knew that the thin girl would recognize her at just one glance.

What to do now? !

Exposing himself will definitely affect the eldest young master. Although the Lin family official holds the position of minister, the young lady has no princess to protect her, and the young master is only a lieutenant in the Gyeonggi Guard. He cannot bear the responsibility of harming the county lord, let alone the authority. The thunderous wrath of the distant lord.

The fleeting fear on Mu Wan'er's face was all reflected in Mu Rong's eyes.

He said solemnly: "Since you are Lin Jiaoyue's maid, you must have heard about me. With your skills, you can't make a move against me. If you put down the dagger in your hand and don't hurt her, I will protect you from death." .”

Mu Wan'er was stunned for a moment, but soon a decisive smile appeared on her face:

"The Marquis opened his mouth and shut up, but it was Lin Jiaoyue... Do you still remember the days of tenderness and sweetness with the eldest lady?"

When she spoke, her eyes were locked on Xu Rongrong.

Although she had never met Xu Rongrong in person, the current situation naturally made her know that the girl standing opposite was the truly feared county lord himself.

Now that she has revealed her identity, she can't make it easy for her.

So he continued:

"Although this servant has never seen the love between the Marquis and the eldest lady with her own eyes, she also knows that every rare treasure in the eldest lady's room was made by the Marquis!"

"In order to celebrate the birthday of the eldest lady, the Marquis went into danger alone and entered the enemy's palace, and came back with wounds all over his body."

"Have all the friendships in the past been forgotten by the Marquis?!"

Every time she said a word, Mu Rong's face became darker and darker.

Although he couldn't see the face of the girl next to him, he knew in his heart that if he allowed Mu Wan'er to continue talking, all the efforts he had made these days would be in vain.

So he suddenly took action, his slender fingers like hooks, reaching straight for Mu Wan'er's face.

But Mu Wan'er, who was determined to die, was so cunning. She pulled Wen Yao over and stood in front of her: "What? Is the Marquis so angry that he doesn't even care about Xin Huan's life?"

Mu Rongshou retreated.

Xu Rongrong took a few steps forward: "Stop pretending, you must already know that you have arrested the wrong person. The person you want is me!"

"So what if I caught the wrong one?" Mu Wan'er tightened the dagger in her hand, "Since you used such a large array and found it in such a short period of time, please explain that the knife in my hand is Although my life is not as valuable as the county lord’s, it is still worth giving in to.”

After speaking, she hesitated for a moment: "But...since the county master himself has spoken, if you are willing to come over obediently, I will let her go."

Wen Yao was gagged and blindfolded at the moment, and she whined and shook her head.

Xu Rongrong took another step, and Mu Rong stopped her: "No!"

Mu Wan'er used force in her hands, and Wen Yao's neck was cut with a dagger, leaving a trail of blood.

But the little girl was not afraid. The stinging sensation on the wound let her know the direction of the dagger, so she was caught off guard and hit the dagger.

She knew that as long as she died, the people behind her would die without any support.

But... Mu Wan'er saw through Wen Yao's thoughts at a glance and hid.

The sudden change in the lightning made Xu Rongrong's hair stand on end. She shouted: "Wen Yao, don't move!"

Wen Yao whined in response, shaking his head desperately.

Mu Rong grabbed Xu Rongrong's arm: "You can't go any further, it's dangerous!"

Xu Rongrong broke away from him forcefully, her eyes always fixed on Mu Wan'er's face, trying to see something from it.

Mu Wan'er's palms were sweaty.

She didn't expect that the master and servant in front of her were both willing to die for each other.

Xu Rongrong took another step forward resolutely, but just this small step made Mu Wan'er shrink back.

Is there really such a master in this world?

She thought of Lin Jiaoyue's words before leaving: If you agree, after I escape, I will return to Beijing and ask my brother to take your memorial tablet as my concubine.

This...maybe this is the only chance for a little maid like her to get close to the young master.

She raised her head and saw that the moon had quietly set behind the house.

The eldest lady should have left Yuzhou City at this time and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Rongrong: "Such a deep relationship between master and servant is really enviable to me... In this case, I will help the county master."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Wen Yao past and grabbed Xu Rongrong with her own hands.

Mu Wan'er's movements were extremely fast.

But someone was faster. As the sword light flashed, Mu Wan'er's arm reaching for Xu Rongrong was cut off.

On the other side, Mu Rong jumped out from the thorn, hugged Wen Yao into his arms, and dodged to the side.

All this was accomplished in an instant.

Mu Wan'er fell to the ground and struggled while holding her broken arm.

Xu Rongrong looked at her: "Did Lin Jiaoyue ask you to do this?"

Mu Wan'er bit her lip: "It's this slave who wants to avenge the eldest lady! She and the Marquis were so loving. If you hadn't come out of nowhere, how could she have ended up like this!"

"The eldest lady is noble by nature, but because of you, she has nothing now!"

"I want to avenge her! Revenge her! All this is done by me alone and has nothing to do with her!"

Xu Rongrong was condescending and looked at her coldly: "I have barely revealed my whereabouts during my trip to Yuzhou. How can you, a little maid of the Lin family, know about my itinerary?"

Mu Wan'er glared at her: "Does the county master dare to convict the Shangshu Mansion based on this suspicion?"

Xu Rongrong glanced at her without comment.

When Mu Wan'er saw this, she understood in her heart. The blood on her broken arm was gurgling down, but she seemed unaware: "Does the county master think that I will falsely accuse the eldest lady?"

Before Xu Rongrong could speak, she took action suddenly.

A white light flashed out from her left hand and went straight towards Xu Rongrong.

At the critical moment, Mu Rong pushed Xu Rongrong away.

His right hand directly clasped Mu Wan'er's neck.

Xu Rongrong had just calmed down and shouted: "No!"

But there was a slight "click" sound, and Mu Wan'er's throat bone shattered and she fell to the ground dead.

The "hidden weapon" she just shot out of her hand was just a jade pendant with no lethality.

At this time, the jade pendant fell at Xu Rongrong's feet and broke into two halves.

Xu Rongrong raised her head and looked at Mu Rong quietly: "Why is Mr. Hou so anxious to silence Miss Lin?"

Mu Rong felt a pain in his chest.

The whole person felt like falling into an ice cave.
