But suddenly a figure rushed in from outside the dormitory, the speed was dazzling, he seemed to move to the corridor in an instant, snatched the knife in Zhang Yaxian's hand, and pulled Xia Muyao from Guan Fu and Zhuang Die's hands into his arms.

It's Zhao Yuanting. He looked down at the red and swollen face of the villain in his arms, his heart hurt, his big hand couldn't help caressing it, his eyes were dark, and he asked in a deep voice, "Does it hurt?" ”

Xia Muyao's eyes instantly wet, but she was forced back again, and then she smiled fiercely, "It doesn't hurt." "Anyway, in the future, there are more painful things than this.

"Second master?" Zhang Yaxian was startled, and then glanced at the maid with sharp eyes, the maidservant girl clearly said that the second master left the dormitory early in the morning, how could she appear again?

"You two, go and kneel in the courtyard for an hour, so that you can reflect on your behavior," Zhao Yuanting ordered Guan Fu and Zhuang Die, and then looked at Zhang Yaxian, "As a wife, you punish others for no reason, you lose your appearance, you are bulky, you will be exempt from punishment, if there is a next time, you will not be spared." ”

Zhang Yaxian sneered, "Punishment for no reason? The concubine wanted to ask, what is her origin? Since he lives in this courtyard and is rude to his concubines, shouldn't he be punished? ”

"Even if it's a punishment, do you need to use a knife?" Zhao Yuanting looked at the fruit knife in his hand, then threw it out and nailed it tightly to an old tree in the middle of the courtyard.

Xia Muyao's eyes were attracted suddenly, she broke away from Zhao Yuanting's protection, ran to the old tree, and took a lot of effort to pull out the fruit knife from the tree, and held it in her hand and looked at it like a baby.

When Zhao Yuanting saw it, he hurriedly walked over and took the knife from Xia Muyao's hand, "What to do with the knife, be careful of hurting yourself." ”

Xia Muyao finally got a knife, refused to lose it, reached out to grab it, Zhao Yuanting raised the knife above his head, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Muyao jumping and couldn't reach it.

"You promised me that if they really bullied me, you would give me a knife." Xia Muyao looked at Zhao Yuanting dissatisfied.

That's right, Xia Muyao made a bet with Zhao Yuanting last night, she said that his wife and concubine would still bully her today, and if she was hit by her, then Zhao Yuanting would give her a dagger to defend herself in the future.

Zhao Yuanting pretended to leave this morning, and then turned back, and sure enough, he saw this thrilling scene.

"I'll give you a good one when I go back, this kind of fruit cutting knife is not worthy of you." Zhao Yuanting said, folding the fruit knife from it, only to see that the knife was bent into a ball in an instant.

Xia Muyao opened her mouth, snorted, and said stupidly: "You have a lot of strength." ”

Zhang Yaxian, who had been watching them on the other side, was really gritting her teeth with hatred, how could she ever see such a Zhao Yuanting, patient, gentle, and even smiling.

"Go back to the room first, you need to apply cold water to your face." Zhao Yuanting's gaze refocused on Xia Muyao's red and swollen face. Zhang Yaxian had practiced martial arts, and this slap used all her strength, and her face was a little more serious than just now.

****

"You know what? This is the first time I have been beaten," Xia Muyao said when Zhao Yuanting put a sweat towel soaked in cold water on her face, "But with the first time, there will be a second time, and if I get beaten a few more times, I may get used to it." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't let anyone beat you again in the future." Zhao Yuanting's heart suddenly felt a little sour, Xia Muyao was really a little lonely.

"At this point, the only person I can rely on is you." Xia Muyao said weakly.
