She closed her eyes, but the expected pain didn't come. Instead, she fell into a strange embrace, clearly feeling a fresh and clean masculine aura.
Zhu Fei opened her eyes with a start and then jumped off Lou Fan. Her face flushed visibly in an instant. Gritting her teeth, she stared at Lou Fan fiercely and said, "You damned lecher! I'll surely take your life today!"
Lou Fan stepped back while saying, "Are you being reasonable, woman? If I hadn't stepped in to save you just now, you might have broken your leg. Instead of showing gratitude, you want my life. You're really a shrew."
Zhu Fei had a deep impression of Lou Fan. He was a lackey beside Lou Mingkou, and by all rights, he was extremely evil. But except for Zhu Yan, she had never been so close to any other man. Just thinking about what had just happened made her face blush uncontrollably, as red as a monkey's butt.
"Let me tell you, a person like you who works for that old guy won't end up well. I know I can't beat you. Do whatever you want to me, kill or torture!"
Zhu Fei closed her eyes. She knew that she wouldn't have a good end after abducting someone, so she thought that all that awaited her would be a dead end.
Unexpectedly, after she closed her eyes, there was no movement from Lou Fan for a long time. Instead, she heard his loud laughter. Zhu Fei opened her eyes in confusion.
"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?" Zhu Fei was so angry that her teeth itched.
Lou Fan didn't know why he was inexplicably tickled by the funny point. It was just that seeing her heroic look of going to her death just now, he inexplicably found it very interesting.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you go. Hurry up and leave." Lou Fan said with a smile.
Zhu Fei was as shocked as if struck by lightning. She was caught off guard by Lou Fan's inexplicable actions. Did she mishear? He actually let her leave?
Seeing Zhu Fei standing there motionless for a long time, the smile on Lou Fan's face grew stronger. "Reluctant to leave? Could it be that you're reluctant to leave me? Have you secretly fallen in love with me? There won't be another chance like this."
Zhu Fei angrily spat at Lou Fan. "Bah! You stinky hooligan! You'll surely regret this!"
With that, Zhu Fei disappeared. Only Lou Fan and the corpses all over the yard were left in the courtyard. Lou Fan stared at the disappearing figure for a long time without coming back to his senses.
He had never met a girl as lively as her before, and a ripple quietly arose in his heart. He took out a pill from his bosom, swallowed it, and then walked back to the General's Mansion with difficulty.
Lou Mingkou flew into a rage. He had never been so excited before. He gasped for breath and felt even angrier when he saw Lou Fan on the ground.
"You let the person escape? Someone could abduct someone right from under your nose? Lou Fan, have you got the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard!" Lou Mingkou said angrily.
He didn't believe that Lou Fan, whom he had carefully trained since childhood and was so highly skilled in martial arts, could let someone escape from his hands. In Lou Mingkou's view, Lou Fan must have deliberately let the person go.
Lou Fan knelt on the ground with his head down all the time. It was impossible to tell his expression. "This person is good at using poison. I accidentally fell into their trap and got poisoned, which is why the person escaped."
With that, Lou Fan raised his head and showed his pale and bloodless face to Lou Mingkou. He had taken the poison for some time, and now his face was deathly pale, and his lips were terrifyingly blue and purple. It was obvious that he was poisoned.
Seeing Lou Fan's appearance, Lou Mingkou's attitude improved a little. Now that the person had been abducted right under his nose, a name suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Mu Fengqie! I've actually been played by a green - horned girl! What a Mu Fengqie!" Lou Mingkou had some doubts at first, but after this incident, he finally understood.
Except for Mu Fengqie, Wu Feng hadn't come into contact with anyone else. Lou Mingkou gritted his teeth in hatred. He had just pulled out a thorn in his eye, and now there was another one in his flesh!
When Zhu Fei returned to the Minister's Mansion, she rushed to report. Mu Fengqie finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little better.
"However, Young Mistress... I don't understand one thing. Lou Fan clearly had the chance to kill me, but he didn't. Instead, he let me go. I've thought about it all the way and still can't figure out what he was thinking."
Zhu Fei had been thinking all the way about why he had let her go. Could it be that there was a bigger conspiracy between their master and servant?
Mu Fengqie also frowned. She didn't know the reason either, but one thing was for sure: she had now been completely targeted by Lou Mingkou.
"Did he really let you go without doing anything?" Mu Fengqie asked doubtfully.
Zhu Fei nodded in confusion. It was really strange. After such a thing happened, shouldn't he have silenced her?
Mu Fengqie was also a little worried. She said slowly, "There are only two possibilities. One is that they deliberately let us go and actually have another conspiracy. The other is... he isn't really loyal to Lou Mingkou?"
"Ah?" After hearing Mu Fengqie's analysis, Zhu Fei opened her mouth wide. "This should be impossible, right? Didn't he go to kill Wu Feng? It's said that he has been by Lou Mingkou's side for many years. How could he not be loyal to him?"
Even Zhu Fei, who had only been by Mu Fengqie's side for two months, was extremely loyal. Lou Fan had been raised in the General's Mansion since childhood and had been adopted as an adopted son. Shouldn't he be very grateful to Lou Mingkou?
Mu Fengqie had been thinking in her heart. She still thought Lou Fan was suspicious. Maybe he was a point that they could start with, and perhaps he could help them kill Lou Mingkou.
"You've overlooked one piece of information. Lou Mingkou has always beaten and scolded him at will. If I treated you as badly as he did, do you think you would have any grievances in your heart? Would you still be as loyal to me as you are now?"
Mu Fengqie had heard a little about Lou Fan's background from Jing Xunchi, so she had a bold guess in her heart. If it was really as she thought, then she must win Lou Fan over for her own use!
Hearing this, Zhu Fei firmly closed her mouth. She never thought that guy had such a miserable life. Suddenly, the scene of being in his arms popped up in her mind again, and her face flushed again.
Mu Fengqie had almost fallen asleep at dawn. Now that the great trouble in her heart was finally solved, she could finally have a good sleep.
She thought she could have a good sleep, but after only sleeping for a few hours, she was woken up by someone from the palace.
Xiao Qing anxiously woke up Mu Fengqie. Mu Fengqie looked at Xiao Qing sleepily.
