Ning Cuo immediately grabbed her, hugged her back into his arms and said, "I don't mean to blame you!"

Xiao Tu leaned in the man's arms, her snow-white face raised with joy, "Really?"

Ning Cuo nodded quickly, fearing that if he was a little slow to react, the man would go and hang himself again, "Really?"

Xiao Tu was so moved that she threw herself on the man's chest. However, the joy on her face lasted only three seconds. She showed her sorrow again and said, "Although my husband doesn't blame me, I still feel uneasy. After all, my mother and two sisters have been hurt quite a lot!"

After saying that, her watery eyes looked at her with self-blame again!

Ning Cuo really wanted to know how serious this greater damage was, but when he saw her looking at him, his face suddenly became solemn and he said, "I guess this is not your fault alone!"

Xiao Tu nodded with a worried look, "That's true. My mother wanted to poison me, but I was just too scared, so I fought back a little. Husband, do you really not blame me?"

Ning Cuo stared at her pale and beautiful face, and said with a look of lust and confusion, "If that's the case, then it's not your fault."

Xiao Tu burst into laughter and threw herself on his chest, "Husband, you are so kind!"

Ningcuo, hehe~

This is all thanks to the old princess, who is Prince Jade’s mother!

Duke Ning was now extremely grateful in his heart that he no longer had a mother to trouble her!

But the woman in his arms, deeply moved, raised her fair and soft face and said, "Husband, can I ask you a question?"

Ning Cuo stroked her soft little face and said, "Ask!"

Xiao Tu said affectionately and expectantly, "If one day, your mother and I both fall into the river, who will you save first?"

Ning Cuo: “…”

Don't even think about escaping if your mother dies!!

That night, no lights were allowed to be turned on in the flower garden!

But there was always noise coming from inside the house, especially from a window, and it could be said that the noise was so loud that it lasted until dawn!

The next day, in the small courtyard where peach blossoms were flying, the door was still closed at noon.

Xiao Lezi and Li Mingshan stood on either side of the door, looking like two door gods.

The two of them looked at the time from time to time, and then because they were too bored, they started chatting about random things.

Until a sound was heard from inside the house, the two of them pushed the door open and walked in at the same time.

Ning Cuo was standing in front of the bed in her boudoir, his clothes already dressed, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Xiao Tu was lying on the bed, her beautiful red eyes staring at the man weakly.

Ning Cuo bent down at this moment, lowered his head and kissed her little face, "Sleep a little longer, I will come back early tonight to accompany you!"

Xiao Tu hid her face directly, "Who wants you to accompany me? Go away, go away!"

Ning Cuo kept smiling, put one hand behind his back, and slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as he left, Xiao Tu immediately covered her lower back and yelled, "This bastard almost drained me dry last night~"

Li Mingshan looked at her with a twitching mouth, "Didn't you swear last night that you could easily defeat the other party with just a little trick?"

"I've already got him. I transformed myself into a weak and scheming little white lotus last night and bewitched that bastard. He didn't care about the old princess at all."

"So what's going on with you now?"

"Speaking of this makes me angry. I just asked that bastard a question, and he couldn't answer it himself, so he blamed me? Humph, this is clearly anger out of shame!"

Li Mingshan was silent for a moment, "I'm very curious, what did you ask the prince?"

"I asked him, if his mother and I fell into the water together, who would he save first?"

Li Mingshan, "..."

Such a venomous question, worthy of you!

In the afternoon, Xiao Tu, shouting that he was sucked dry, ran out of the palace at a gallop.

Xie Yulong was waiting on the street early. When he saw her, he ran up to her excitedly and said, "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as extraordinary and mysterious as ever!"

Xiaotu smiled and patted his shoulder, "You've been doing well lately!"

Xie Yulong smiled happily and said, "Thanks to the master's help, our family is now truly blessed with happiness!"

Xiao Tu smiled, "It seems your elder brother has been doing well recently."

"That's not true. My mother and sister-in-law are so happy every day. My brother, the cold-faced devil, is also beaming with joy every day!"

Xiaotu smiled and nodded, "What's the matter that made you come to me specifically?"

Xie Yulong said earnestly, "The main reason I invited you here this time is that I have a good brother who has some problems at home, and I want you to take a look!"

Xiaotu readily agreed, "No problem, where are the people?"

"It's in Tianxiang Tower. I'll take you there!"

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance on the street.

Then a man was seen riding a horse in the lead, shouting loudly and driving away the people on the road.

Xiao Tu followed the crowd and retreated to the sides, then looked curiously towards the source of the loud noise not far away on the street.

Under the bright sunshine, a team of hundreds of people on horseback were galloping towards them from a distance. As they got closer, an eerie and cold smell of blood hit my face.

It was like a large, gloomy black cloud, trampling up countless dust and covering it in darkness.

Sitting on horseback were a group of people wearing black cloaks embroidered with beautiful patterns, with black masks on their faces and long swords slung around their waists. Wherever they passed, they were so imposing and murderous that people dared not look at them for too long.

Xiao Tu was watching with interest when Xie Yulong frowned and said, "It's someone from the East Factory!"

Xiao Tu looked at him, "Dongchang?"

Xie Yulong nodded solemnly, "Yes, apart from them, who else would dare to be so arrogant on the street!"

Xiao Tu thought for a moment, "I've heard of this place. Are you saying they are all eunuchs?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yulong immediately looked around cautiously. Seeing that no one had noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's not the case. They are the Imperial Guards under the command of the Eastern Depot and the Grand Commander Gong Ningcuo!"

Xiao Tu tilted her head, "Ning Cuo, Rusty Guard?"

"Yes, did you see the colorful patterns on their clothes? It's the one with fish swimming in a bunch of flowers. That's the flying fish uniform of the Dongchang Embroidered Uniform Guard. Master, if you run into this group of people in the future, don't think too much, just turn around and walk away!"

Xiaotu raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

A trace of fear flashed across Xie Yulong's eyes, "Because this group of people are a group of evil ghosts, a group of evil ghosts led by an evil ghost leader, who are powerful, bloodthirsty, cruel, and murderous!"

"The evil ghost leader is the governor you mentioned. Is that right?"

"Shh, Master, keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you. Governor Ning has countless assassins and spies under his command. They specialize in blending in with the people or monitoring the officials and dignitaries!"

Perhaps it was because they were whispering to each other, which was too obvious among a group of frightened people.

The leaders of the Rusty-Clothed Guards who were riding by on horseback glanced over sharply with cold and bloodthirsty eyes.

Xiao Tu also turned her head at this moment, and their eyes met.
