The faint fragrance drifted into the room. When Shen Rong smelled it, she suddenly woke up from her drowsiness.

She remembered that there was no incense burning in the room, so how come the fragrance suddenly came out?

Although the smell was very light, Shen Rong, who had been dealing with various herbs for a long time, was able to detect it at the first moment.

Shen Rong felt something was wrong after just one sniff. She immediately covered her nose. The smell was like that of a drug.

Shen Rong did not dare to take it lightly and took another handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

Just then, there was a slight sound from the window outside, as if the window was gently pushed open.

Shen Rong sat up on the bed with her body tensed, the quilt tightly grasped in her hands betraying her nervousness.

She quietly turned sideways to look towards the window. With the help of a faint moonlight, she saw a dark shadow walking quietly towards the bed through the curtain.

Shen Rong looked at the tall figure and felt her heart leap into her throat.

Seeing the shadow getting closer and closer to the bed, Shen Rong suddenly remembered the two children and Changsheng who were still sleeping behind her. She hurriedly and calmly put the children and Changsheng into the space.

But Shen Rong did not hide in the space. She sat in the corner. With a thought, a hoe appeared in her hand.

Shen Rong sat quietly in the corner beside the bed, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in one hand and holding a hoe in the other, waiting for the thief to come in.

The moon was exceptionally bright tonight. As the other person approached, his figure appeared exceptionally tall in the moonlight. Shen Rong felt a sense of oppression through the curtain, and her hands trembled slightly unconsciously.

That person was able to sneak into the inner courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion, so he must have some martial arts skills. I don't know if she will be able to beat him later.

On this October night, Shen Rong's back was wet.

At this moment, the man outside crouched down and stretched out his hand towards the bed curtain.

Shen Rong stared at the figure outside the tent. She saw a hand reaching out and the curtain swaying slightly. She didn't bother to cover her mouth and nose, but raised the hoe with both hands and smashed it at the man.

Along with the sound of the hoe falling, there was a knock on the door and Chun Xing's voice.

"Master, the temperature dropped at night, I brought you a blanket..."

When the man heard the sound, he was in a panic. Instead of retreating, he advanced and opened the curtain, leaning forward to get into the bed. Unexpectedly, he was hit hard in the face.

"boom!"

The sound outside rang out along with the sound of Shen Rong's hoe hitting the ground, followed by a scream.

"Ah!" Chen Ziping let out a scream, which was particularly abrupt in the silent night.

The screams suddenly resounded through the sky, startling the moon in the sky so much that it hid in the clouds.

Chen Ziping was stunned by the blow and felt as if half of his face was gone.

In the dim light, he did not notice that the fallen gauze curtain wrapped around a nose and fell under the bed. He only had time to glance at Shen Rong in the bed, then quickly covered his face and escaped through the back window.

All this happened in just a breath or two.

"What happened, Master?"

Chun Xing heard screams from inside the house and banged on the door in panic.

Shen Rong watched the man leave in the blink of an eye. She held the hoe in her hand and couldn't calm down for a long time.

She never expected that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was so dangerous.

Just now, if she saw it correctly, the man was holding a knife in his hand. It was because Chun Xing shouted outside that the man panicked and rushed into the bed, and that's how she succeeded.

If the man was alert towards the bed as usual, Shen Rong would not be sure to hit him with one strike.

Shen Rong thought that she and Changsheng had just arrived, and her grandparents were still there. Shen Rong didn't want her grandparents to worry, so she decided not to disturb others.

She put the hoe into the space, and then answered Chun Xing, "Is that you? The child's father just had a nightmare. It's okay. The quilt is not needed. We are not cold."

"Master, you are not afraid of the cold, and there are two little masters..."

After hearing Chun Xing say this, Shen Rong finally felt the chill in her body. She was so nervous just now that she didn't even feel whether she was cold or not.

In fact, there were several quilts in her space, but Chun Xing mentioned the two children now, so it would be unreasonable for her not to open the door.

Shen Rong got up from the bed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she found that she seemed to have stepped on something. She subconsciously kicked the thing under her feet under the bed, and then went to open the door for Chun Xing.

The door opened. Because Changsheng and the child were still in the space, Shen Rong did not let Chunxing in. She planned to take the quilt and send her back to rest.

"Master, how can you do such rough work? Let me bring the quilt in!" Chun Xing went into the room holding the quilt.

Shen Rong stopped the man with a smile, "The child's father is not used to having outsiders around when he sleeps. Please give me the quilt. It's already late. Go back and get some rest!"

Seeing that Shen Rong was really going to come in person and was not being polite with her, Chun Xing obediently handed the bedding over to Shen Rong.

After Chun Xing left, Shen Rong locked the door and lit the candle in the room.

There was a stain of blood on the floor beside the bed. Following the stain and looking under the bed, Shen Rong saw that half of the green gauze curtain had been soaked with blood.

In that gauze curtain, you can vaguely see something inside.

Shen Rong pulled out the gauze curtain and opened it, revealing a nose and a few yellowed front teeth.

These are all from that man.

Shen Rong put the ball of gauze wrapped around her nose into the space, and cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground. Shen Rong glanced at the other half of the gauze, thought about it, and then tore down the other half. She used a lamp to burn most of it, leaving only a piece of gauze and placed it at the foot of the bed.

In this way, the curtain on the bed was gone for no reason, and Shen Rong would have an excuse tomorrow.

Here, Chen Ziping covered his face and endured the severe pain as he ran straight to the West Mansion next door.

He covered his face for so long, and although he didn't look in the mirror, he now knew what he had lost.

His nose was dug out and will never grow back!

Chen Ziping never dreamed that his nose would be dug out by a hoe. He was so angry!

He couldn't understand why a woman would put a hoe on her bed when she slept.

That cruel woman!

Even if he died, he would never forget the appearance of that vicious woman.

At this moment, he forgot that if he had not heard the news and thought about eliminating future troubles for his sister, he would not have ended up like this.

However, he thought of the person he had just seen in the room, and thought that his trip was not in vain.

His sister didn't know who had deceived her, but there was no child in Guiyuan at all, only a woman.

Then he thought again, if someone hadn't spread the rumor, he wouldn't have had his nose dug out. Thinking of this, he wished he could cut the person who spread the rumor into pieces.

Da Chen and her husband Gong Shaojia were not asleep. The lights in their yard were still on, and they were obviously waiting for someone.

Soon, the front gate was pushed open, and Chen Ziping rushed into the house with his face covered.

Before Mrs. Chen had time to see her brother clearly, she heard him shouting in a hoarse voice, "Brother-in-law, please get a doctor for me! My nose is gone!"

Xiao Chen was shocked. Nose gone? What does that mean?

Little Chen could never have imagined that her brother's nose had been dug out by someone with a hoe.

She saw her brother running in with blood all over his face and immediately panicked. She couldn't understand a word his brother said.

However, when Gong Shaojia saw that his wife's brother was seriously injured, he hurriedly asked his servants to call a doctor.
