After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Lu Zhiran smiled slightly and said, "Stay in the hotel and prepare four upper rooms for us."

The waiter looked behind Lu Zhiran.

"There are other guests."

As they were talking, the six servants that Lu Zhiran brought with him, who had just found a place to park the carriage, walked in.

"Yes, there are six of them."

With these six strong servants following behind Lu Zhiran, the malicious looks from people coming and going in the inn towards Lu Zhiran and Xiaoying instantly disappeared.

This is someone brought here.

But it's not a fat sheep that they can target.

The waiter immediately realized that Lu Zhiran was not someone to be trifled with.

There was a hint of respect in his enthusiastic expression.

"Okay, eight guests, please follow me." The waiter led Lu Zhiran, Xiaoying and six servants upstairs and arranged them in adjacent rooms.

The six servants didn't expect that Lu Zhiran would be so generous when he was away from home, and the room he arranged for them was actually the upper room.

Lu Zhiran said to the six servants before they each entered their own rooms.

"I'm sorry to bother you. Two of you share a room."

The six servants scratched their heads, feeling a little embarrassed. "Madam, don't be wronged. There are six of us living in one room in the mansion. In fact, you don't need to book three rooms. Just one room will be enough. Don't waste that money."

"It's already open, just live well."

After Lu Zhiran finished speaking, he took Xiaoying back to the room.

She lived in the same room with Xiaoying. Lu Zhiran was not a lady with airs and felt it was too embarrassing to live in the same room with a maid.

When you are away from home, you must take care of each other.

Go into the room.

The room is decorated quite elegantly, and outside the window one can see people coming and going.

As night fell, the lights in the town gradually lit up. Lu Zhiran sat at the table in the room, holding a book in his hand, but he had no intention of reading.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety. She knew the purpose of this trip was important and she had to act with caution.

He went to see General Wu every day and took him to take back Zhang's property.

How to do this requires careful consideration.

Xiaoying stood aside, looking at Lu Zhiran's furrowed brows, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She knew that she was of humble status and could not share too much pressure with Lu Zhiran, but she still hoped that she could do something to help Lu Zhiran get through this difficult time.

I can only quietly make a pot of good tea for Lu Zhiran.

Make her less worried.

It was late at night, and the hustle and bustle of the town had turned into a faint silence. Only the occasional barking of dogs in the distance broke the silence of the night.

Lu Zhiran gently put down the book in her hand and slowly walked to the window. She looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The silver light shone on her face, reflecting her determined expression.

She had a beautiful face and eyes as bright as stars, but at this moment she looked a little solemn.

The hem of Lu Zhiran's clothes fluttered gently in the night breeze, as if blending into the night.

The ink-black long hair was gently tied up with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of elegance and agility.

Xiaoying walked to Lu Zhiran's side, with a hint of worry on her face, but she tried to stay calm.

She said softly, "Miss, it's late, you should go to bed early. There are still many things waiting for you to deal with tomorrow."

Lu Zhiran turned around and looked at Xiaoying's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She smiled slightly, patted Xiaoying's hand gently, and said, "Xiaoying, don't worry. I know what I am doing. But you are right, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and I really need to get enough rest."

Having said that, Lu Zhiran turned and walked towards the bed, began to take off his ornaments, and prepared to wash up and rest.

Xiaoying followed closely behind, busying herself with getting hot water for Lu Zhiran and carefully making the bed for her.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling in the room, adding a touch of poetry to the quiet night.

After washing up, Lu Zhiran lay on the soft bed, feeling the rare peace and tranquility.

She closed her eyes and began to regulate her breathing, allowing her mind to gradually calm down.

She knew that tomorrow would be a tough battle and she had to be fully prepared.

The moonlight shone through the window lattice onto Lu Zhiran's face, adding a touch of softness to her resolute features.

Xiaoying tiptoed to the bed, covered Lu Zhiran with a quilt, and then lay back on her own bed to rest.

……

Time seemed to be stretched, and every moment seemed extremely long.

Lu Zhiran was originally immersed in a dream, but suddenly, a strong feeling of suffocation came like a tide, instantly waking her up from her sleep.

Her mouth and nose were covered tightly. The feeling of suffocation made her heart beat faster instantly, and fear surged into her heart like a tide.

She struggled to shout, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something and she couldn't make any sound.

A deep and magnetic male voice came from my ear, with a hint of threat in the voice: "Don't scream if you don't want to die!"

Lu Zhiran's heart trembled. She tried to calm herself down and see the situation clearly.

She carefully turned her head and vaguely saw a man in the darkness. He was dressed in black and his face was covered with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes.

He held a dagger in his hand, the tip of the dagger was against her neck, the cold feeling made her shiver involuntarily.

And she was being half-held and held hostage by him.

At this moment, Lu Zhiran discovered that Xiaoying was squatting in the corner, trembling, her face full of fear and her eyes full of tears.

Apparently he was threatened.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhiran felt a strong surge of anger and worry in his heart.

She knew she had to stay calm to find a chance to escape.

There were bursts of noisy sounds coming from the street outside.

Those were government soldiers searching for fugitives door to door. Their footsteps, shouts, and occasional knocking sounds made this originally quiet night extremely tense.

"Check, come out... There's a fugitive in this inn..." The soldiers' shouts were getting closer and closer, and their footsteps had stopped in front of the inn's door.

Lu Zhiran's heart tightened. She knew that she had to find a way to escape at this moment, otherwise once they were discovered by the soldiers, both her and Xiaoying's lives would be in danger.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Then "Woo woo woo..."

Lu Zhiran had his mouth and nose covered by the man in black and was unable to speak.

Seeing her like this, the man in black slightly loosened his hand that was covering Lu Zhiran's mouth and nose, and asked in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, don't scream. What are you going to do?"

Lu Zhiran remained calm and whispered to the man in black: "Let me go, I can help you escape."
