Tang Jun watched with a black look on his face as she was about to finish her drink. Before leaving, she couldn't resist badmouthing Rong Xun a few more times.
"If I had known what kind of person Rong Xun was back then, I would have risked my old life to stop you from being with him."
Tang Youyou just gave a helpless smile. If she had known back then that her fate would be trapped here, would she still have stayed by Rong Xun's side?
She thought the answer should be no.
But at the moment, she just wanted to focus on the present. If this child was born, she alone would definitely not be able to protect him.
This was one of the reasons why she hadn't completely cut ties with Rong Xun, and also why she was very happy to keep Ye Yue and Zhui Feng by her side.
If she were alone, who would be willing to live under the surveillance of these people every day?
"Oh?" Rong Jiangyu was sitting in the main hall. When he heard what the guard reported, he was slightly surprised. "Is that really the case?"
The fact that Tang Youyou had been attacked was a bit unexpected to him. As far as he knew, although Tang Youyou caused trouble everywhere, she hadn't reached the point where someone would want her life.
But this was also a great opportunity. Those who failed might come again.
At this moment, what Tang Youyou lacked was a man who could protect her, and he, Rong Jiangyu, was surely the first to seize the opportunity.
Rong Jiangyu straightened his clothes and walked out of the mansion gate. Not far away, he saw the subordinates of General Lan Er surrounding a delicate - looking girl in the street.
He had been in a great mood, but after seeing this scene on the street, his mood instantly hit rock bottom.
"They are becoming more and more presumptuous."
Rong Jiangyu had already warned Lan Er that this was not his territory yet, and he should restrain his actions.
But now, Lan Er had completely ignored his words, and even his subordinates had become more and more daring.
"Your Majesty, do you want your subordinate to—"
Rong Jiangyu slightly waved his hand. "No need."
If he had other choices, he would never have taken a fancy to General Lan Er, the founding general of the Xia Kingdom. What he fancied was the 50,000 troops under his command.
If he could completely control these troops, he could do without General Lan Er.
Rong Jiangyu walked past these people. His gaze lingered on the surrounded girl for a while.
Taking this opportunity, the little girl immediately struggled and grabbed at him, but was promptly separated by the guards.
"Presumptuous!"
Hearing the scolding from the guard, the girl immediately looked so scared that she seemed to want to bury herself in the dirt.
The Hu person didn't recognize Rong Jiangyu when he saw him, but just thought he looked familiar.
Seeing that he kept staring, the Hu person pushed the guard away and stared at him with a pair of big blue eyes, threatening, "If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
This level of threat was just like a joke between children to Rong Jiangyu.
He could ignore it and just walk away.
But today, he didn't.
Rong Jiangyu took out a mysterious iron sword from somewhere and directly beheaded the man.
For a moment, everyone present was panicked. Screams filled the once - deserted street. Some people with poor endurance even fainted on the spot, including the harassed woman.
Rong Jiangyu completely ignored the surrounding screams and only fixed his gaze on the fainted woman.
At first glance, this woman looked somewhat similar to Tang Youyou.
She just lacked a bit of arrogance and was not as flamboyant.
Tang Youyou heard that the servants at home were not working but standing somewhere chatting. She wanted to go closer to listen, but they noticed her and quickly separated to do their jobs.
"Don't be so scared. I don't eat people. What were you just chatting about? Tell me and amuse me."
The servants didn't have much contact with Tang Youyou, but they knew that this woman, who could be regarded as the mistress of the house, was kind - hearted and never made things difficult for others, so they relaxed.
One of them leaned over and whispered something in Tang Youyou's ear.
Tang Youyou couldn't help frowning as she listened. After hearing the whole story, she couldn't hold it in anymore and quickly ran to a flowerbed to vomit.
After taking a break, she felt better, but still felt uncomfortable. No matter how angry Rong Jiangyu was, he didn't have to behead someone in public, right?
Ye Yue and Zhui Feng had, of course, already heard the news. Ye Yue originally wanted to tell Tang Youyou, but was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he held back.
Seeing Tang Youyou vomiting like this, he naturally knew what had happened, so he glared at the two servants and scared them away.
"Why is Rong Jiangyu so cruel?" Tang Youyou wiped her mouth. Seeing Ye Yue looking calm, she asked, "Didn't you know about this a long time ago?"
Ye Yue didn't dare to admit it and just said, "We're used to fighting and killing. We've experienced even more cruel scenes. This little thing isn't enough to surprise me."
Seeing his confident look, Tang Youyou turned her head in disgust.
She wanted to go to the street, but Ye Yue stopped her in time.
"It's still too dangerous now. What are you going out for?"
"Of course, I'm just bored staying at home and want to go out for a walk."
Ye Yue knew what was on her mind. She just wanted to go and see the crime scene and the beauty who had been rescued by a hero.
"You're pregnant now. How can you go to a place stained with blood?"
Ye Yue blocked her way and refused to let her out no matter what.
What he just said was only one of the reasons. He also knew a thing or two about the feud between Rong Jiangyu and Tang Youyou.
The biggest fight between the master and his wife was also because of Rong Jiangyu.
Although he could see clearly that Tang Youyou didn't have any romantic feelings for Rong Jiangyu, Rong Jiangyu was not the same.
What if that man had evil intentions?
Although Ye Yue was extremely skilled in martial arts, compared with this kind of person, he still had some disadvantages to a certain extent.
It wasn't about martial arts, but about bad intentions.
Tang Youyou didn't think that Rong Jiangyu would have feelings for her at all.
She had seen his most wretched appearance, seen him act like a crazy and hungry ghost, and seen him living a life that was hardly human.
Rong Jiangyu might even want to kill her.
But perhaps he didn't want to offend Rong Xun, so he had never taken action.
If she couldn't go out, she wouldn't. Tang Youyou turned around and went back to her room.
Although she didn't go out, that man came to the door right on time.
Ye Yue stared at him with wide eyes, his gaze full of vigilance and contempt.
"To see my young lady? I'm sorry. My young lady is not feeling well and won't see outsiders."
Ye Yue said firmly, holding a sharp sword in front of him.
Rong Jiangyu wasn't angry. He just thought that the person in front of him was a bit different from the one who had guarded outside before, but he didn't think much of it.
"Really? It seems she was frightened yesterday."
