The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

...Ling Su?

Xue Mingyue was confused for a moment, and her heart that was about to jump out of her throat suddenly dropped back.

The stiff body slowly turned sideways, and she caught sight of a piece of gray robes from the corner of her eye. Moving her gaze upwards, she ran into the eyes of the person behind her. The familiar look made her stunned.

Tall as a young man, his eyebrows are naturally alienated and indifferent.

——Ling Su, her grandfather’s friend whom she has known since childhood, is highly skilled in martial arts.

At the end of his eyes, he caught sight of the man lying on the ground and the bloody sword he was holding.

Xue Mingyue's tense shoulders were relieved for an instant. She released the fingers that were pressing hard on her sleeve arrows, let out a long breath, reluctantly raised the corners of her lips and asked, "Ling Su, why are you here?" Here?"

Ling Su said: "You don't have to laugh if you don't want to."

Xue Mingyue was startled when he heard this.

She subconsciously reached out and touched the corner of her mouth. Was she smiling so ugly?

Maybe he could tell what she was thinking. Ling Su looked down at her and said, "Your face is ugly and a little pale."

After saying this, he explained the purpose of his visit: "Mr. Lou is worried that you are not having a good time in the capital. Recently I learned that you have also come to the Qiu Hunting Paddock. In addition, it is not far from Chunxia Town, so he asked me to come over and visit you. .”

Ling Su paused at this point, frowned and said, "But I didn't expect that you would be the only one left here. Why doesn't the Marquis let you go back to Beijing?"

Xue Mingyue shook her head: "It's not because of him."

She was about to explain the reason when she saw Wu Yehuo running over in a hurry. He looked at her anxiously, and after initially judging that she was fine, he immediately knelt down on one knee and handed over his hands to plead guilty: "I am late, let the madam handle it."

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Lidong hurried over and immediately knelt down to apologize.

They were all left by the Marquis to protect his wife, but they almost put her in danger. This was a dereliction of duty on the part of both of them.

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips tightly, her usually casual light-colored eyes were full of coldness, and her voice became colder: "Is there anyone left alive? The person behind the scenes must be found out within today."

Wu Ye immediately said: "If there are any survivors, I will reply to you as soon as possible."

Xue Mingyue nodded lightly.

He quickly retreated and ordered people to pull away the corpses of the assassins on the ground.

"This assassination is obviously well-prepared. Lidong, please bring me here to check the surroundings carefully. Don't miss any places where people may be hiding. What happened today will never happen again."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lidong responded quickly and then asked hesitantly: "But since we are all gone, how about your safety, madam..."

Her eyes couldn't help but fall on Ling Su, and she almost asked him if he was trustworthy.

"Don't worry, this is my friend Ling Su, he was the one who saved me from the assassin just now," Xue Mingyue glanced at him sideways, "With him here, my safety will not be a problem."

Ling Su met Lidong's distrustful gaze and sneered dissatisfied.

The sarcastic words circled around his lips, and when he was about to speak, he remembered that these people were all Xie Lang's subordinates. He could not give Xie Lang face, but he had to consider Xue Mingyue's current status.

He said coldly: "I will protect Mingyue."

Lidong frowned slightly when he heard this, always feeling that this title was a bit inappropriate.

But looking at the expressions that Madam and Liu Yun were accustomed to, she was both Madam's friend and saved Madam, so she swallowed these words back, responded, and then turned around and left.

After she left, Ling Su looked at Xue Mingyue solemnly and asked, "Are these assassins coming for you because of Mr. Xie?"

Xue Mingyue: "..."

Xue Mingyue admired the sensitivity of this childhood friend.

But before the results of the interrogation came out, she couldn't determine who sent the assassin. She just sighed exhausted, shook her head and said to him: "Before you talk about this, please accompany me to drink a glass of water."

She was really, really frightened just now and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Until now, she still felt a burning pain lingering in her throat and chest, and her fingertips were still shaking slightly. Even if she tried to restrain herself, it was of no use.

Liu Yun and Liu Xing were also so frightened that they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

But he still skillfully cooked a pot of milk tea and brought it to the table to calm the two of them.

Ling Su sat unaccustomedly on the chair covered with several layers of cushions, smelling the sweet milk drink in his hand, and then looked at Xue Mingyue who was holding the sweet drink and drinking it, a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He hesitated and said: "...Mingyue, when did you like drinking this kind of drink?"

Xue Mingyue leaned on the recliner as if she had no bones. The frightened and beating heart in her chest finally calmed down. She couldn't help but froze for a moment after hearing these words.

"People's preferences always change." She said slowly.

She used to like drinking tea, and she liked the feeling of sweetness after bitterness.

But when she suffered too much before she could taste that little bit of sweetness, she realized that it was really not worth it. If you don’t eat sweets when you can afford them, is it possible to leave them to suffer later?

Perhaps since her rebirth, no one had ever pointed out her changes so clearly, and Xue Mingyue felt a little unnatural for a moment.

She pursed her lips and smiled at Ling Su.

He explained in a hurry: "The food and clothing in the Hou Mansion are much better than those in the Xue Mansion. It was only after I drank it that I discovered that this milk tea is delicious. Don't be stunned, it tastes really good." Not bad.”

After a long while, Ling Su nodded silently.

In fact, she didn't need to say anything, she could tell just by looking at him. Compared to some time ago, she not only looked much better now, but her mental condition had also improved a lot.

The whole person looks very relaxed.

This was far from the tense and anxious look he had seen in Xue Mansion before.

Xue Mingyue watched him finish the milk tea and immediately laughed: "Isn't it delicious?"

Ling Su nodded: "It tastes good."

Hearing what he said, Xue Mingyue was instantly satisfied, and quickly asked Liu Xing to refill it for him, and smiled: "I also have grape flavor, Ringo flavor, orange flavor, sweet and sour."

"Mingyue, why did Mr. Xie leave you here alone?"

Ling Su waited patiently for her to finish speaking before asking aloud.

He looked at Xue Mingyue seriously, frowned and said before she spoke: "No matter what the reason is, since he keeps you, he shouldn't leave only so many people. He is putting you in a dangerous situation." Dangerous situation.”

Xue Mingyue wanted to say that it was not that serious, but she fell silent again when she thought of the assassination just now.

Especially, after seeing the concerned eyes of the other party, she finally did not think of any excuse to deal with Ling Su, and said honestly: "Actually, it was His Majesty who asked me to stay."

"Thank you Lang... Lord Marquis, he should be doing something for His Majesty."

Xue Mingyue pursed her lower lip, but her voice became lower and lower uncontrollably.

Ling Su looked at her expressionlessly.

He pointed it out directly: "You are guilty of even making excuses for him."
