She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Shi An knew his master all too well; that seemingly lazy smile clearly concealed a sharp edge. A sudden tightness gripped the back of his head, and he waved his hand, creating an afterimage: "No, no, no! This subordinate doesn't understand Miss Jiang at all, not even a little!"

Xiao Che glanced at him: "Go do it!"

办？

What to do?

Shi An had been a bodyguard for six years, and this was the first time he had received such an unclear mission.

Who should this medicine be given to?

If it wasn't Miss Jiang, could it be... someone who upset Miss Jiang?

Quite a few people have upset Miss Jiang today!

Princess Cui is one of them.

Sun Langjun is one of them.

Zhao Shuyun and Ruan Zhenzhen dared to set a trap to smear Miss Jiang's innocence, they deserve to die!

But Miss Jiang has already taught Zhao Shuyun a lesson herself, and she has also said that she would let Ruan Zhenzhen go this time. Meanwhile, Sun Langjun has already broken his knee on the spot. So the only one who should be punished is Princess Cui!

wrong!

There was also Madam Jiang who abused Miss Jiang by taking advantage of her seniority!

At that moment, he finally understood.

Who exactly is the master planning to deal with?

"Understood! I'll take care of it immediately and make sure Miss Jiang gets her revenge!"

He vanished into the night in a flash.

Every few breaths.

They turned back again.

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang seems to be short of money. She just went to the storeroom and packed up all her previous belongings so that Yunmi can take them to the pawnshop tomorrow!"

Xiao Che tapped his fingers slowly on the window frame, pondering her purpose behind making it into jewelry.

But I couldn't see through it for a while.

This coward's every step he takes is strange and incomprehensible.

"Keep a close eye on it."

Shi An replied, "Yes, Your subordinate understands!"

……

When Jiang Ruining returned to her room, Xiao Che was already asleep.

She was a little afraid to sleep.

At night, the fear of snakes is amplified.

Yunmi assured her confidently, "Please sleep soundly, young lady. My hearing is excellent! I won't let anything unclean near you!"

Before Jiang Ruining could even feel sleepy, she had already fallen fast asleep!

Jiang Ruining looked at her, fast asleep and carefree, and was both amused and annoyed: "Whose maid falls asleep before her master!"

Close your eyes and force yourself to fall asleep quickly.

But I could always hear the faint rustling sound of scales scraping the ground, and the more frightened I became, the more alert I became.

He nudged Yunmi awake: "Wait until I fall asleep before you go to sleep."

Yunmi woke up, groggily watching her mistress's mouth open and close. She seemed to hear it, yet also seemed not to, and nodded haphazardly, "Okay, this servant understands."

Jiang Ruining wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling with silk satin and curled up.

The ice cream wasn't cool enough, and I started sweating after a short while.

Peeking out, I saw that Yunmi was asleep again!

Jiang Ruining was speechless.

She untied herself from the silk and satin, tiptoed around the screen, ran to the bedside, and poked Xiao Che's hard chest.

Xiao Che opened his eyes, his pupils shining brightly in the darkness, and asked knowingly, "What is it?"

Jiang Ruining had dared to curse him that evening, and didn't dare go up directly, afraid of being thrown off. Her voice, meant to be assertive, was weak: "I want to sleep in the bed, this is my bed!"

Xiao Che chuckled: "Is it because you're being petty and think I would take advantage of you?"

Jiang Ruining chuckled dryly, "How could that be! I'm just afraid I won't be able to control myself and will end up molesting you again!"

Xiao Che snorted coldly and closed his eyes.

Jiang Ruining tugged at his sleeve: "We made a promise, you have to protect me. You can't be as unreliable as that girl Yun Mi."

Xiao Che's voice, chilling in the dim light, rang out: "You dare treat me like a maid?"

Jiang Ruining sat on the edge of the bed, her feet off the ground: "How many days have you treated me, your savior, like a maid? I only asked you to wait until I fell asleep before you slept, how is that being bossed around!" She shook his arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Master~"

Xiao Che's Adam's apple bobbed as he slapped her hand away: "If you shake it again, I'll break your arm!"

Jiang Ruining grabbed his left wrist with her other hand, her fingertips gently stroking his protruding wrist bone: "Then feel the bed to make sure it's clean!"

Xiao Che didn't move, but his joints twitched slightly.

Jiang Ruining stopped shaking him and started pinching his fingers instead.

Xiao Che's lips tightened; he was thoroughly annoyed by her. He reached out and swept his hand over the inside of the room: "Sleep!"

"Sigh!" Jiang Ruining used both hands and feet to quickly climb onto the bed, covered herself with silk satin, and lay down next to him.

I'm still a little scared.

Afraid she was deliberately playing a trick on her, he noticed the snake but didn't help her drive it away: "Your Highness..."

Xiao Che interrupted her impatiently, "Shut up!"

Jiang Ruining said "Oh," then closed her eyes and remained still.

Xiao Che glanced sideways at the cowardly figure curled up in a ball, and his teasing instincts kicked in again. He gently ran his fingertips across the blanket.

The palms, calloused from years of wielding a sword, rubbed against the blanket, producing an extremely faint rustling sound in the quiet of the night.

Jiang Ruining stiffened: "Did you hear anything, Your Highness?"

Xiao Che replied succinctly: "No."

Jiang Ruining grabbed his clothes and listened intently to what was happening.

It's very quiet.

There was indeed no sound.

Am I hallucinating?

She leaned closer to him, pulled his arm up and placed it under her neck, rested her head in the crook of his neck, and snuggled into his arm.

He's really hot.

Snakes probably don't like hot places, right?

Thinking this way, I relaxed a little.

Late at night.

Jiang Ruining eventually succumbed to sleepiness and gradually fell asleep.

Xiao Che listened to the gradually even breathing beside his ear, each breath spraying onto his neck, warm and wet. The beautiful face magnified under his eyelids looked restless, her brows slightly furrowed, her slender white hands tightly gripping his clothes.

How could a young lady from a noble family be so unrestrained and dissolute, with no regard for the proper boundaries between men and women!

"Why... is money so important...?"

The body beside him suddenly trembled, his breathing became rapid, and his babbling became indistinct and suppressed.

"Forcing me to die... Mom... Why do you have to force me to die... You're all so cruel..."

Xiao Che reached out and pressed her acupoints.

She didn't wake up; she was still struggling in her nightmare, her pulse pounding and her mouth constantly babbling.

Xiao Che frowned. The wife of a high-ranking official was so crazy and foolish that she wanted to force her own daughter to death in order to promote her niece.

Raise your hand.

Gently pat her back.

Just like when he was a child and his birth mother comforted him when he was scared...

After a long time, the person in my arms finally calmed down and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ruining was woken up by the noise.

Because of fear, she couldn't sleep well at night and had nightmares, waking up several times throughout the night. Right now, she was so sleepy that she could only open her eyes a crack.

The brocade curtain was lifted.

Sunlight streamed in, stinging her eyes: "Pull it up, pull it up!"

Yun Mi drew the brocade curtains shut, poked her head inside, and raised her voice, trying to wake her mistress completely in the most direct way: "Miss, Princess Cui has arrived at the manor with a group of young ladies, and they've already entered the inner garden, heading straight for us!"
