These maids were recruited by Nanny Xie and were also from Prince Yu's Mansion. Du Gu Fuya had long planned that if the plan failed midway, he would forcefully kidnap Liu Yushu to the mansion.
Mu Chan quickly stepped in front of Liu Yushu to block the maids' hands. But two fists were no match for so many feet. Mu Chan was caught, and two maids grabbed Liu Yushu's arms from left and right, forcibly subduing her.
Liu Yushu's eyes were red as she roared angrily, "Let me go!" At this moment, she wished she could tear these people from Prince Yu's Mansion to pieces.
She didn't want to be plotted against by Du Gu Fuya anymore, didn't want to be toyed with by him. She wouldn't obediently be his plaything and let him manipulate her!
Liu Yushu struggled constantly. She would never give in easily again. She used all her strength to push one of the maids to the ground, straddled her, and slapped and punched her. The maid was beaten black and blue. The other maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do and whispered nervously, "What should we do? The prince said we mustn't hurt Miss Liu!"
"You bitch, how dare you hit me!" The beaten maid was driven to desperation by Liu Yushu and started to fight back. In a real fight, Liu Yushu was no match for the maid. She was pushed to the ground by the maid, who held her hands tightly and cursed at her, "You're just a good - looking face that the prince takes a fancy to. Other than that, what's so great about you? You're just lucky to be born into a wealthy family. I'll tell you, I have a hundred ways to make you suffer without leaving a mark on your body!" After saying that, she deliberately spat on Liu Yushu's face.
"Stop doing this. The prince has ordered that we mustn't hurt her, or we'll both be dead." The maid beside was terrified and said in a flurry. She took out a small white jade bottle from her sleeve, opened it, and poured out a black pill. She pried open Liu Yushu's mouth and was about to feed it to her.
Liu Yushu knew the medicine must be problematic. She tightly closed her mouth and refused to take it, but she couldn't match the maid's strength. Finally, the pill was stuffed into her mouth.
Just as the pill was about to be swallowed, a loud shout came from the door. Two men in black armor rushed in like fierce gods. They drew their heavy iron swords from their waists, waved their hands, and the swords fell. The maids had their throats slit, and the blood splashed all over Liu Yushu.
Liu Yushu was stunned. What was going on? Who were these soldiers? Were they good guys or bad guys?
"Xiaoshu, I'm here." Wu Chunzhe appeared in golden silk armor. He took big strides and rushed to Liu Yushu's side in a hurry. He hugged her tightly in his arms.
Seeing that it was Wu Chunzhe, the tense nerves in Liu Yushu suddenly relaxed. She slumped in his arms and shed silent tears. "I'm so lucky you're here."
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. From now on, no one will ever be able to bully you, not even the royal relatives." Wu Chunzhe said with great distress, gently stroking her back that trembled from crying.
The soldiers present were all stunned when they saw this loving couple hugging each other affectionately. They looked embarrassed. They had only seen General Wu, who was brave and merciless on the battlefield. They had never seen this tender side of Wu Chunzhe. They sighed with emotion that even the coldest and toughest men could be as gentle as water when facing the woman they loved. And the only one who could make Wu Chunzhe show his tenderness in public without any scruples was Liu Yushu.
Wu Chunzhe had dedicated all his love and firsts to Liu Yushu. Completely and without any disguise.
"Okay." After crying for a while, Liu Yushu remembered that she had been fed the medicine. She quickly stuck her finger down her throat and vomited out the medicine after retching a few times.
Her clothes were dirty, and her face was dirty too. Wu Chunzhe saw that her home was in a complete mess. Ignoring her objections, he took her back to the General's Mansion. Of course, her younger brother went with them too.
When Liu Yushu arrived at Wu Chunzhe's General's Mansion, she found that he had prepared everything. There were all the things she needed in the room. When she opened the cabinet, there were five or six sets of gorgeous and clean clothes. There were rouge and powder on the dressing table. When she opened the jewelry box, it was filled with hairpins and ornaments.
"If you're still missing anything, just tell me." Wu Chunzhe stood at the door with a smile.
Liu Yushu shook her head with a smile. "I'm not missing anything." She didn't expect that the usually careless Wu Chunzhe could be so meticulous. It seemed that she had neglected him in the past.
Since joining the army, Wu Chunzhe had grown a lot. When he was free in the barracks, he often missed his family and Liu Yushu. When he calmed down and recalled the details of being with her in the past, he gradually understood how to love her.
He used to be too naive. When facing her, he only knew how to act recklessly and didn't know how to be gentle.
Mu Chan knocked on the door. Wu Chunzhe opened the door and let Mu Chan in. He blocked the door, which made Mu Chan a little embarrassed.
Mu Chan went over to help Liu Yushu change clothes. Looking at the gorgeous clothes in the wardrobe, she was a bit dazed and dazzled for a moment. Liu Yushu pointed at the light orange one. Mu Chan took the clothes off the rack and put them on the couch, then helped Liu Yushu take off her dirty clothes.
"You can go and do your work first." Seeing that Wu Chunzhe didn't leave, Liu Yushu told him to go away.
Wu Chunzhe walked straight to the couch and sat down. He said with a smile, "I'm free now. I'll stay and accompany you." He glanced at Mu Chan, signaling her to go out.
Mu Chan understood and backed out.
Wu Chunzhe got up and offered to help Liu Yushu. "Let me do it."
"No need. You don't have to do this kind of thing." Liu Yushu turned around to avoid him and muttered, "Go out. It's so boring for you to watch me change clothes."
"I've never seen it before. I want to see it today." Wu Chunzhe said with a shameless smile, putting his arms around her slender waist from behind.
She snorted and scolded, "You're so glib." She pushed him. "Turn around. Go and stay behind the screen. Hurry up."
Wu Chunzhe pouted unhappily. "We're going to get married soon. What are you afraid of? I'm going to be your husband soon. I'm not an outsider."
"Are you still going to keep nagging? If you keep nagging, I'll leave right now." Liu Yushu threw down the clothes and walked out angrily. Wu Chunzhe quickly surrendered and blocked her with his arm. "Okay, okay, I'll go out. Take your time." He sighed helplessly and went out, closing the door behind him.
Liu Yushu showed a sweet and triumphant smile, thinking that Wu Chunzhe really listened to her. This was great.
Wasn't what she wanted a man who would obey her every word? As for love, it wasn't that important to her anymore, at least not that crucial.
She felt more grateful to Wu Chunzhe. She was very grateful that Wu Chunzhe had appeared to protect her at a critical moment after her family's downfall and even dared to confront Prince Yu Du Gu Fuya for her.
She thought Wu Chunzhe was very reliable. At least for now, he was.
Thinking about the future, even if they got married and he wanted to take concubines, she wouldn't stop him. She felt indebted to Wu Chunzhe in her heart. She didn't love him deeply, just liked him. So she couldn't selfishly monopolize Wu Chunzhe. He deserved someone better.
"Hey, are you done changing? I'm almost falling asleep waiting." Outside the door, Wu Chunzhe muttered discontentedly.
Liu Yushu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So he hadn't left! It was so inappropriate for a great general to stand guard for her. What would the servants think? His subordinates were still around. Wouldn't he lose all his face when he returned to the camp?
"Okay, you can come in." She said briskly.
Wu Chunzhe pushed open the door. When he saw her in the orange dress, his eyes lit up immediately, and he blurted out, "My wife looks so beautiful."
Liu Yushu quickly covered his mouth with her hand. "What are you talking nonsense about? I'm not your wife yet. What would the servants think if they heard this?"
Wu Chunzhe didn't really care. "Anyway, you're the only wife I'll ever have. Let those who like to gossip talk. If the gossip ever reaches your ears, I won't spare them." As he said this, he deliberately glanced at the servants outside, with a fierce and intimidating look in his eyes.
Only in front of Liu Yushu was Wu Chunzhe a sunny and cheerful little puppy.
"I really can't do anything about you." Liu Yushu turned around and glared at Wu Chunzhe. She held his face with her two fair little hands and stroked it gently, looking at his face carefully. There was a touch of vicissitude on his face, and his eyes were no longer as bright as fire as before. The once rebellious young man had transformed into a mature general because of the changes.
Thinking of Wu Chunzhe's experiences, Liu Yushu's heart ached sharply. "A Zhe, let me cook for you. What would you like to eat?"
Wu Chunzhe caught her fair hand and grinned. "You've just escaped danger. You must be very tired. Let me cook for you. How about skewers? I often make them in the barracks. I'm very skilled at it."
Liu Yushu nodded with a smile. "Okay." There was a faint glimmer of tears in her eyes. At this moment, she truly felt that meeting Wu Chunzhe was the luckiest and happiest thing in her life, without a doubt.
