Hua Zhi walked to the window. The moisture-filled wind blowing on her body blew away the last bit of heat, making her feel very comfortable.
Unfortunately, tonight is destined to be uncomfortable.
She cast her eyes towards the yard and immediately whispered, "Baoxia, look quickly, what is that?"
Bao Xia looked in the direction the young lady pointed. She wanted to scream and wake up all the servants to protect the young lady, but the young lady held her hand tightly. She saw the young lady gently shaking her head at her, so she could only suppress this thought, swallowed her saliva, and whispered, "I'll go and take a look."
"It looks like something has fallen there, I'll go take a look too."
"Don't go. Don't get wet so late at night."
"I can't sleep anyway, it's okay."
Bao Xia shook her head desperately, tears splashing everywhere with her movements. She stood in front and didn't want the young lady to leave.
Hua Zhi touched her pale face and said silently: "Believe me."
Normally, when she was holding Xia Xin, the young lady would believe everything he said, but now it was different. No matter how powerful the young lady was, could she deal with the bad guys that even the guards at home couldn't deal with? They were still lying there, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Not to mention anything else, the young lady was far inferior in strength. How could she, how could she watch the young lady walk right under the eyes of the bad guys
Biting her lip, Bao Xia turned around and walked out of the house. She only needed to shout and everyone would wake up. It was better than letting the young lady go into danger alone.
Hua Zhi grabbed her, her eyes full of fierceness, which made Bao Xia lower her head and cry.
Time waits for no one. Hua Zhi didn't care about anything else and just walked past her to go out. She knew without thinking too much that the bad guy must be eyeing her room. If they became suspicious, they would be like fish on the chopping board.
Baoxia took a few quick steps and ran ahead of the young lady, wiped away her tears, straightened her back, took a few deep breaths, took the umbrella, opened the door and walked out of the house. Huazhi was afraid that Baoxia would reveal her true feelings, so she hurried to follow.
"Miss, I'll go check it out. Please don't come out. It's still raining heavily."
Hearing Bao Xia's voice, which was no different from usual, Hua Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay, be careful."
When Baoxia walked into the rain, Huazhi stepped over the threshold.
How could she not come out!
It would be easier for the bad guys to attack her if she came out, and she would be the one who would suffer in a fight in the small room.
Moreover, she also needed to make some noise to wake everyone up. When there were too many people, it would become chaotic. Even if she could run away in the chaos, it would be a skill, which was better than having her life taken away in her sleep.
Standing in the corridor where she could catch the rain with her hands, Hua Zhi had the defenseless look of a young lady who knew nothing about the world. She tensed up and sensed her surroundings. Almost immediately she smelled blood, not coming from the people in the yard, but from behind her.
At the same time as Bao Xia's scream rang out, she was also held hostage from behind, so she also screamed. Although her mouth was covered immediately, the effect was enough.
Soon the lights in the room came on, and some people ran out without even having time to put on their clothes.
"Miss!" Nian Qiu and Fu Dong were frightened when they saw the situation in front of them. The three guards who were on duty looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.
Bao Xia threw away the umbrella and ran towards the young lady, "What do you want? Let my young lady go."
"Stop! If anyone dares to come even a step closer, I'll scratch your face first!"
No one dared to move.
Hua Zhi looked terrified and cried. Bao Xia felt sorry for her even though he knew she was pretending, let alone the others.
Those who were brought out by Hua Zhi were all people who had served her for many years. The longer they followed her, the more they knew how good the lady was. Not only did no one think about protecting themselves and hiding themselves, but they all showed their faces. Liu Xiang even had a pale face and pulled open her collar to reveal her snow-white collarbone to attract the attention of the bad guys.
The villain didn't say anything for a while. After a while, Hua Zhi clearly felt that he relaxed a little. Yes, none of these people could pose a threat to him.
They took Hua Zhi hostage and turned around to retreat into the house. The maids were so anxious that they were about to cry. They wanted the young lady to be in the same room with the bad guys. Even if the young lady was rescued in the end, her reputation would be ruined!
Fortunately, the bad guys were also worried about being caught in a trap, so they did not go any further inside after stepping over the threshold. After making sure that there was no one hiding in the house and there was no possibility of being attacked from both sides, the bad guys relaxed a little.
"Bring some food, if you dare to do anything..."
Fu Dong ran to the small kitchen with weak legs. Bao Xia did not dare to approach him. He knelt on the ground in the rain and begged in a weak voice, "Please let my young lady go. Please."
The other maids also knelt down and begged.
Hua Zhi endured the bitterness in her heart and timidly stated her identity, "I am... I am the eldest daughter of the Hua family. You, you let me go, otherwise, otherwise the Hua family will not let you go."
"The Hua family?" The man sneered maliciously. "What do you have to fear when the Hua family was confiscated and exiled? Why don't you let me go? Shut up, everyone. If you keep arguing, I'll start with your young lady."
The yard suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of falling rain.
Fudong came over with a bowl of porridge, which was being warmed on the stove for the young lady to eat tomorrow morning. She selfishly filled only half the bowl and walked over with gritted teeth and courage.
"Put it on the threshold, away from it."
Fu Dong paused and almost dropped the knife in his hand hidden in his sleeve.
Hua Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she cried louder, shouting as she cried, "Fudong!"
Fudong looked up subconsciously and saw that the young lady was crying but had no tears, and there was a warning in her eyes. He felt inexplicably at ease. He obediently put the porridge on the doorstep, then backed away step by step.
"The dignified Hua family has indeed fallen into decline." The villain looked at the bowl of porridge with disdain. Even though he was disgusted, he bent down to take it. When he touched the bowl which was still hot, a hint of joy appeared on his face. His body just needed some hot food.
Because of this joy, his men relaxed a little.
How could Hua Zhi miss this opportunity? She stabbed the silver hairpin in her hand towards the man's exposed neck with the greatest speed and strength she could muster.
A woman who had just been crying actually dared to attack him. This was something the man had never expected. By the time he reacted, it was too late. He felt a sharp pain on the left side of his neck, and his subconscious attack missed. The woman actually ducked and rolled away from his hold.
"Miss!"
"Leave!" Hua Zhi shouted. Although her breathing was rapid, there was no trace of the cowardice she had just shown on her face.
Baoxia wanted to rush over, but was held tightly by Fudong who retreated to her side. They couldn't fall behind at this time, but she couldn't do nothing either. Knowing that the young lady had seen through her plan, she slid the knife hidden in her sleeve that she usually used to cut fruits to the young lady's feet, shouting, "Miss, feet."
As soon as Hua Zhi heard Fu Dong's voice, she knew what was going on. She felt the knife in her hand and felt a little more confident as she listened to the noise.
PS: The girls’ love for Kong Kong cannot be reciprocated with my own body, so I can only update more often. There will be a third update (bang, Kong Kong held back tears and slapped her in the face. He only has a few chapters left and he is still so generous. He deserves to be forced to death by the updates!)
