"That's right! Several guards have died in the manor recently. It's really unjust; they just got a scratch, and within seconds, they were poisoned and died."
"Don't be afraid, dear. Your husband will protect you."
"Hmm."
Suddenly, Long Rui looked up at Xuexue and seriously asked, "I heard that last night you were very brave, charging ahead alone and knocking down a bunch of men in black, is that true?"
Though Long Rui's voice was calm, the intelligent Xuexue could sense a hint of danger. She quickly smiled and denied, "Hehe... No, it's all rumors, just rumors."
Normally, Long Rui was very accommodating to her, but there was one thing he was particularly firm about: not allowing Xuexue to be in any danger.
"Are you sure it's just rumors?"
"Hehe... I'm sure, really sure."
"Shall we call Long Yi to testify?"
"No need, he's busy in the back garden. Let's not disturb him!"
