After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 97

Not long after, the fighting sound outside subsided, and Wu Ze reported outside: "All the assassins are killed, please rest assured, Duke and Madam."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and looked up at the man in front of her.

Lu Jiuyuan said, "Is there anyone left alive?"

"There is one alive." Wu Ze reported.

"Well, take it back and interrogate it carefully." Lu Jiuyuan ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wu Ze replied and walked away.

Not long after, the carriage continued driving.

Tao Yao was so frightened that she even forgot to get up from Lu Jiuyuan's arms.

Looking at the cute and quiet girl curled up in his arms, the gloom in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes was replaced by indescribable joy.

When the carriage stopped in front of Duke Lu's mansion, Tao Yao came to her senses.

When she saw that she was still snuggling in Lu Jiuyuan's arms, with her arms around his waist, her face burned.

But when she thought of the way he was protecting herself in his arms at the moment when the sharp arrow came, she suddenly felt a wave of turmoil in her heart.

He is a reliable and reassuring man.

Lying on the man's strong chest, she suddenly got up from his arms in no hurry.

"Can you still walk?" Lu Jiuyuan looked down at her and asked warmly.

Tao Yao came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, she shook her head unexpectedly, "Legs... are a little soft."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan naturally hugged her up.

Tao Yao took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around his neck.

Lu Jiuyuan noticed it and paused.

After being carried out of the carriage by him and entering the mansion again, Tao Yao felt guilty.

she lied...

In fact, apart from being afraid at the time, she is no longer afraid now, and her legs are not weak.

She can walk fine...

But when she saw the man's stern and majestic handsome face, she snuggled into his arms with peace of mind.

Lu Jiuyuan carried her all the way back to Tingfangyuan.

The moment he was put on the bed, Tao Yao suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Huh?" Lu Jiuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her questioningly.

Tao Yao's eyes flickered, and she said softly, "I, I dare not sleep alone..."

After speaking, she was shocked by her behavior.

She, she... what are you doing?
Could it be that she was brainwashed by Xi'er?
After calming down, she was just thinking about how to remedy it when she heard the man's low voice "hmm".

Tao Yao was stunned when she heard the words.

Is he... agreeing to stay?

For a moment, she seemed to have a little deer in her heart, "thump, boom, boom" and jumped extremely fast.

"Oh, then, then I'll take a shower first." After that, she jumped off the bed as if fleeing, and ran to the clean room.

Sitting down in the tub and being soaked in water, she became much more awake.

What was she talking about just now?

Thinking of facing Lu Jiuyuan in a while, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

After dawdling for a long time, when he went out, he saw that Lu Jiuyuan was no longer in the room.

She was stunned.

Could it be that Lu Jiuyuan went back to the Star Picking Hall?
Thinking of this, her tense body relaxed.

Fortunately, Lu Jiuyuan didn't take her words seriously.

As soon as she sat down by the bed, she saw Xi'er walking in.

Seeing this, Tao Yao hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Xi'er, were you okay just now, were you injured?"

At that time, she was frightened, and it was the first time she encountered such a thing, so she was confused and forgot about Xi'er.

Thinking of this, she was filled with guilt.

Xi'er smiled and shook her head, "Your servant is fine, don't worry, miss, the Duke's personal guards are all powerful, those assassins couldn't hurt me at all, and those assassins behind were all killed by the Duke's personal guards gone."

Tao Yao felt relieved, "It's fine."

Xi'er nodded, then smiled and said: "Just now Dong'er said that the Duke will stay in Tingfang Courtyard, is Miss ready?"

Tao Yao's face burned when she heard the words, "What else should I prepare? He has already gone back."

Xi'er was surprised, "Dong'er said that the Duke went back to take a bath in Zhaixingtang, and he will come over later."

When Tao Yao heard this, her eyes widened, "What?"

Xi'er laughed and said, "Miss, don't be in a daze, get ready."

Before Tao Yao came back to her senses, she turned over and took a piece of handkerchief and spread it on the quilt.

Tao Yao was a little surprised at first, but when she understood her intentions, she was ashamed and angry, "What are you doing?"

Xi'er said meaningfully: "Miss should understand." After that, he helped her to the makeup mirror and took a comb to help her comb her long hair.

Tao Yao: "..."

When I was in a state of confusion, I suddenly heard the voice of a servant from outside, "Duke."

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and Lu Jiuyuan really came over.

When the man walked into the inner room, she suddenly remembered something, got up quickly, and threw herself on the bed.

However, because of her rushing speed, she rushed onto the bed and hit the carved head of the bed with a "boom".

She let out an "ouch", gasped, but ignored her sore forehead, and quickly crumpled the handkerchief into a ball and stuffed it into the quilt.

Although Lu Jiuyuan was going to stay in Tingfangyuan tonight, the handkerchief that Xi'er shopped was too dazzling.

In case Lu Jiuyuan didn't mean that, she would die too quickly.

As soon as Lu Jiuyuan walked in, he saw the girl get up and rush to the bed.

When he heard her cry "Ouch", he was startled and walked over quickly.

He reached out to hold the girl's arm and helped her up.

When she saw the red mark on her forehead, she frowned.

"what happened?"

Tao Yao blinked her eyes, then shook her head with guilt, "No, nothing."

"Why are you running so fast?" Lu Jiuyuan sat down beside the bed, raised his hand and rubbed her forehead.

Seeing the serious and handsome face of the man, Tao Yao blurted out, "Yes, I'm so excited because you're here..."

Lu Jiuyuan paused, looked down at her, "Too excited?"

Tao Yao bit the bullet and said, "I was scared when I encountered that kind of thing today. Naturally, I was excited when I saw you coming."

Lu Jiuyuan's expression softened slightly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Tao Yao was warmed by his words, nodded obediently, and moved to the side of the bed, "Then let's sleep."

Seeing the girl lying obediently on the bed, Lu Jiuyuan's Adam's apple rolled, his lips became dry, and his voice was hoarse, "Go to bed first, I'm still hair dry."

It was only then that Tao Yao noticed that he had washed his hair, the original bun had been let down, and he was wearing a white singlet.

She was used to seeing him in black, but when she suddenly saw him in white, she felt a little uncomfortable.

However, in white clothes, he was less stern and majestic and more elegant, but he was equally fascinating.

She responded blankly, "Oh."

Lu Jiuyuan had already got up, went to the table and poured a glass of water, drank it slowly, then pushed open the window again, and stood by the window.

Xi'er and Dong'er had already left, and for a while, the room seemed strangely quiet.
