Chapter 35: On the brink of danger
"It's so comfortable!"

Shi Nuanyu soaked comfortably in the bathtub and exhaled.

As the saying goes: There is no place like home.

She said to the little girl who was busy beside her:

"Zhenbao, you've been tired for a few days, go down and rest."

"No, Jewel has to serve the princess."

Zhenbao was still angry and didn't want to say anything extra to her.

Shi Nuanyu wondered what she had done to make the little girl so angry.

"Treasure, come here."

Hearing her cry, Zhenbao pouted and approached her reluctantly.

While she wasn't paying attention, Shi Nuanyu grabbed her hand and pulled it hard, and the treasure fell into the bathtub.

"Princess, you are teasing Jewel again."

She angrily pretended to get up.

Shi Nuanyu held her firmly, holding her little face and asked word by word.

"Zhenbao, what are you angry about? Can you tell me about it?"

It doesn't matter if you don't ask, but as soon as you ask, the little girl's tears flow like they're free.

"Wow, princess, why did you go to the clan house? A beating with a stick in the clan house is very painful, and Zhenbao doesn't want you to feel any pain."

Zhenbao burst into tears, "Princess, please don't go to the clan residence, Zhenbao is afraid."

Those clan members who made mistakes were in a terrible state when they came out of the clan house.

"The princess is too weak to hold on."

Shi Nuanyu felt mixed emotions and wiped the tears from the little girl's face.

"I have done something wrong and caused irreparable harm to others. Zhenbao, do you remember what I said to you?"

Zhenbao replied sadly, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

"It's great that you can retell it."

"If you do something wrong, you should be punished. You can't flout the laws of Southern Moon just because you're a royal family member."

Shi Nuanyu patiently explained, "Besides, your princess is a very fearless person. She is just a little bit punished. At most, she will stay in bed for a few more days."

Looking at the little girl's worried eyes, Shi Nuanyu felt warm in her heart.

In her previous life, only her aunt cared for and loved her. She didn't expect that after traveling through a book, she would meet a sister who was wholeheartedly kind to her.

"The princess is afraid of pain. The princess is most afraid of pain."

Jewel muttered tearfully, lowering her head like a wounded fawn.

Shi Nuanyu silently held the little girl in her arms. The long-lost care and concern made her feel a little at a loss.

She could no longer find any words to comfort the girl who was so kind to her.

The lights in Ningxiangju were bright, the maids were busy cleaning the courtyard, and grandma was personally guarding by the bed, keeping an eye on the person lying on it at all times.

Grandma is an old lady in the general's mansion. She used to be the personal maid of the mistress of the general's mansion. She also watched the two deceased young generals grow up.

When the mistress of the general's mansion left for the border, she specifically left her behind to look after the mansion. For this promise, grandma never married.

Looking at the young master who was still sleeping, she wiped away her tears and prayed in her heart for the blessing of the old general in heaven.

"Grandma, why are you crying?"

After Shi Nuanyu finished washing up, she was worried about Dan Baiyu who was still unconscious. When she rushed to the door, she saw this scene and thought that something had happened to Dan Baiyu.

Zhenbao followed her with a smile on her face. It was obvious that the little girl had been coaxed.

When grandma saw her about to kneel down and pay her respects, Shi Nuanyu supported her in time.

"Grandma, you don't have to do this."

"Shi Nuanyu, let her go."

There was also a rough and hoarse voice speaking with it.

Shi Nuanyu subconsciously turned her head to meet a pair of sinister eyes. The man stared at her coldly, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

She felt like she was falling into an icy cave, and her palms began to feel cold, as if she was surrounded by countless poisonous snakes.

Shi Nuanyu withdrew her hand that was about to support her grandma and explained hurriedly.

"I……"

Grandma burst into tears, "Young Master, wake up! This old slave is so scared." Shan Baiyu comforted her weakly, "Grandma, the boy is awake."

He comforted the old woman, but his eyes were fixed warily on the woman standing in front of the bed with a look of astonishment on her face. His vicious eyes were bright and frightening.

The heavy stone that weighed on Grandma's heart finally fell, "It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up."

The servant standing by swiftly poured a glass of water and carefully helped Shan Baiyu drink it.

The dry voice was moistened and the throat finally felt better.

"Why is Her Royal Highness the Princess here?"

Shan Baiyu's voice was flat, but Shi Nuanyu could hear the dissatisfaction and hatred towards her.

She tried hard to suppress her inner fear and kept her voice steady.

"This is the princess's residence, so I came here naturally."

Although the other male protagonists also disliked her, they were wary of her identity as a princess.

Shan Baiyu is different, he will kill himself.

As a person who grew up in the frontier after the age of nine and has seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he is no longer afraid of death.

Shan Baiyu's eyes were filled with anger. "Your Highness, you are not trustworthy. Such behavior is truly despicable."

Princess's Mansion, Ningxiangju.

He returned to this damn place again.

"I……"

Shi Nuanyu didn't know how to explain. Should he say that the original owner broke his leg and he brought him to the princess's mansion to recuperate out of guilt?

Or maybe your adoptive parents came to cause trouble, so you took him back to the princess's mansion for their safety.

"Master Bai Yu, why are you yelling at the princess? If it weren't for the princess and the general's mansion being completely taken over by your adoptive parents, you are not grateful and are actually disrespectful to the princess."

Zhenbao couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Shan Baiyu and cursed.

Why should our princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, suffer such injustice?

"Jewel, shut up."

Shi Nuanyu had no choice but to ask her to shut up. After Zhenbao's noise, the fear in her heart disappeared for the most part.

"Young General, don't worry. I will keep my word. Once you recover from your injuries, you can return to the General's Mansion on your own. I will not stop you."

She is different from the original owner and has no intention of taking a male lover.

Even if she no longer has to worry about her life, if she wants to find someone, she will find someone who is compatible with her and will not care about her own life.

Zhenbao pouted when his princess scolded him, and he stepped aside unhappily, glaring at the vicious man on the bed.

"Is this true?"

Shan Baiyu didn't believe that the vicious princess, whose words and actions were inconsistent, would let him go so easily.

When someone hates you, he won't believe you even if you tell him the truth.

Shi Nuanyu nodded seriously, "Of course."

She has no interest in Shan Baiyu. Wouldn't it be unpleasant for her to keep him here?

"Young Master, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who saved you."

Grandma, who found an opportunity to speak, began to explain that she was afraid that her young master would anger the princess again.

Shan Baiyu kept silent and stared at Shi Nuanyu with suspicion.

Shi Nuanyu calmly accepted his scrutinizing gaze. When their eyes met, the air stagnated in an instant, and the space around them seemed to be distorted. The air was looming, as if it was about to turn into thousands of sharp blades.

Her chest seemed to be squeezed by something, and the blood and qi rushed up, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Shi Nuanyu felt frightened. What was holding her back?
When she was on the verge of despair, her eyes were covered with a layer of black mist, and a cold touch touched her face. She was shrouded in darkness and fell into a cold embrace.

"If you don't value your life, young general, you can find another place to die."

Floating life!

The terrifying air pressure around Shi Nuanyu disappeared, and she collapsed powerlessly in Fusheng's arms.

Seeing the person coming, Shan Baiyu withdrew less than 10% of his internal energy.

"Don't meddle in other people's business."

Fusheng ignored him and handed the Shi Nuanyu in his arms to Zhenbao.
