Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Miss Qiu was frail and could not bear this way of traveling for a while. After a few days, her face turned pale.

Mu Bo felt very distressed when he saw this, and after entering the northwest, he found an inn to rest for a while.

The town's officials heard that Mu Bo was coming and held a banquet to entertain him. Originally, Mu Bo wanted to bring Miss Qiu with him, but Miss Qiu was too exhausted, so he had to go to the banquet alone with his guards.

Fearing that Miss Qiu might be in danger, Mu Bo deliberately left Zhou Yan behind to protect her, while Lu Yu was responsible for her safety.

In the inn, Miss Qiu felt much better after a good sleep, but her appetite was still poor, so she asked the nanny to go to the kitchen to see if there was any porridge.

When the nanny came back with the porridge and side dishes, she glanced at the closed door and said softly, "Guardian Zhou has been guarding the door the whole time!"

Miss Qiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "He has been guarding outside the door?"

Mammy smiled and nodded, "He has been guarding it since His Highness left."

Hearing this, Miss Qiu felt a strange feeling in her heart. She said nothing and drank her porridge silently.

I thought Mu Bo would come back in the evening, but when Miss Qiu waited until Kuai Zi came, she didn't hear any sign of him coming back, so she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

She opened the window and looked at the moon in the sky. There was a bright moon hanging in the sky, big and round, with only a few stars twinkling. It looked extremely desolate.

On the roof, Zhou Yan watched Miss Qiu looking up at the moon with her chin propped up, her eyes still gloomy. She picked up the wine jug beside her and poured a sip of wine into her mouth.

Miss Qiu did not notice Zhou Yan not far away. She was thinking about Mu Bo and didn't even look at the moon before she thought of her worries.

The reason why Mu Bo didn't come back today must be that he stayed somewhere else.

Generally speaking, whenever a high-ranking official comes to inspect, the local officials will not only arrange a welcoming banquet, but will also arrange for beautiful women to accompany him afterwards. This is a necessary procedure.

Although Miss Qiu was spoiled by her parents when she grew up, she was not ignorant. When she knew that Mu Bo had not returned yet, she realized that he must have another woman.

She couldn't help but sigh quietly. It had been less than a month. Was she going to fall out of favor?

Just as she lowered her eyes in sadness, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a navy blue figure on the roof. Upon closer inspection, she found it was the masked guard.

She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then raised her voice and said, "It's late at night and it's very cold, Guard Zhou should go back to the house. I don't have anything to do here, it's okay!"

Zhou Yan was originally lying on the roof of the second floor with his hands under his head. When he heard Miss Qiu talking to him, he immediately sat up and looked straight at her.

Obviously, the two of them were some distance away from each other, and Miss Qiu couldn't see the look in Zhou Yan's eyes clearly, but she just felt that a gaze as real as a real eye was staring straight at her, causing her back to stiffen involuntarily.

"Thank you Miss Qiu for your consideration."

Zhou Yan nodded to Miss Qiu, turned over and jumped off the roof. After landing, he looked up and found Miss Qiu still looking at him from the window.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness will not be back today, so Miss Qiu should also go to bed early."

After saying that, he nodded to Miss Qiu and turned to leave.

Miss Qiu stood blankly at the window, looking at the empty backyard. Then she sighed, gently closed the window and went to sleep.

The next day, Miss Qiu saw that Mu Bo had not returned yet, so she discussed with the nanny to go out for a walk. As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yan guarding the door.

"Miss, are you going out?"

Miss Qiu was stunned for a moment when she heard the question, then nodded and asked in confusion: "Can't I go out?"

She didn't know what the royal rules were, but in some wealthy families, after their wives got married, they rarely went out, so she was afraid of breaking the rules and asked about it.

"Yes, I will accompany you for protection, please rest assured, Miss Qiu."

Zhou Yan nodded at her, pointed to two guards, and followed Miss Qiu out.

After all, the Northwest and Qiu County are in different regions, and Miss Qiu had never seen many things before. After shopping for a morning, she bought many small gadgets.

The two guards Zhou Yan brought with him were carrying a lot of things, including food and toys. They returned to the inn before lunch.

Just as I stepped into the lobby, several people came out pushing and shoving.

Miss Qiu and the nanny were walking in front and were bumped into by someone when they were not paying attention. Miss Qiu was so scared that she screamed and was about to fall down. Seeing this, Zhou Yan quickly pulled her.

Miss Qiu only felt an iron hand grabbing her and lifting her up, then she was hugged into an embrace. When she looked up, it was Zhou Yan wearing a mask.

At this time, Zhou Yan looked at those people coldly. They were obviously drunkards with drunken eyes. When they saw Miss Qiu in his arms, they immediately smiled lewdly.

"Hey! Where did this little beauty come from? Come on, have a drink with your brother!"

As one of them spoke, he reached out and grabbed Miss Qiu.

There was a murderous look in Zhou Yan's eyes. He grabbed the man's hand and twisted it hard. With a "click", the man's arm bent at an abnormal angle.

The man screamed, hugged his arms and stepped back, and woke up because of the pain.

"Ah! You bastard! How dare you break my arm? Do you know who I am?"

The man's facial features were wrinkled in pain and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

The other people with him also changed their expressions when they saw this. One of them glared at Zhou Yan, pointed at him and cursed: "You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on Lord Zhang's son? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Zhou Yancai didn't tolerate any of them and beat them all up in no time, among whom the son of Lord Zhang was the worst hit.

Not only did they break his arm, they also beat him so hard that his face was bruised and swollen. He lay on the ground crying and unable to get up.

Miss Qiu encountered such a thing for the first time. She was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she tried to dissuade him, "Guardian Zhou, forget it!"

"My lady is His Highness's woman, how can you allow these grandsons to desecrate her?"

Zhou Yan just glanced at her and asked the nanny to help her go back to the house first. As for those who were causing trouble, he asked the guards to send them directly to Lord Zhang's residence.

As far as he knew, the county magistrate of this town was named Zhang, so it seemed that he should be his son.

Mu Bai should be in his house now. It depends on how Lord Zhang handles this matter!

Miss Qiu was still upset about the beating and was afraid that Mu Bo would misunderstand her as being restless, so she kept waiting for Mu Bo to come back.

But Mu Bo didn't come back until ten o'clock after dinner. When Miss Qiu smelled the unfamiliar scent of powder on him, her eyes darkened.

But she still moved closer to Mu Bo hesitantly and called him in a low and aggrieved voice.

"Your Highness."

Mu Bo also knew about the beating. Seeing that Miss Qiu looked unhappy, he quickly hugged her in his arms to comfort her.
