Dou Lianyi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back.

But this time she retreated, she would have to move closer to Lu Shangxuan, and she really didn't want to.

So in the end, Dou Lianyi withstood Duan Wujiu's pressure and stood motionless.

"Mrs. Jun, don't you want to stay and see what General Xiao is planning to reward you?"

She didn't know if it was Dou Lianyi's illusion, but she always felt that Duan Wujiu's voice sounded a little pleasant.

She frowned, not quite understanding where that pleasure came from.

And judging from Duan Wu Jiu's appearance, he didn't seem to want to investigate her last incident in public.

Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi lowered her eyebrows and responded in a tone that sounded normal: "No, it's my honor to save the eldest princess. I don't expect to be rewarded by General Xiao."

"Mrs. Jun is really sincere," Duan Wujiu raised his lips and smiled coldly, "It's just that once a person is too sincere, he becomes stupid."

Dou Lianyi raised her head suddenly, with a flash of anger in her eyes: "Master Duan, you are really..."

"Are you trying to say that I've gone too far to deceive others?"

Duan Wu Jiu immediately guessed what Dou Lianyi had to say, and he seemed to be even more interesting.

"Lian Niang, why are you talking back to Master Duan! Why don't you apologize to Master Duan quickly!"

Lu Shangxuan on the side felt his heart beat fast. He was afraid that Duan Wu Jiu would be angry at him, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Dou Lianyi towards him, and apologized desperately.

"You let me go!"

Dou Lianyi's eyes widened, and she didn't care that Duan Wu Jiu was beside her, and just waved her hand to throw Lu Shangxuan away.

However, Lu Shangxuan was worried that Dou Lianyi would say something offensive again, so he squeezed her arm tightly in his hand and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Shut up and don't speak anymore, or else you will get back home." You look good!"

"Oh, I don't know how the prince wants to make Mrs. Jun look good? Why don't you tell me and tell me? After all, isn't that what our Dongchang does?"

Duan Wujiu's eyes fell on Lu Shangxuan's hand holding Dou Lianyi. He didn't know if it was an illusion. His eyes were like a deep pool, swirling with a bottomless whirlpool, intending to stir people up inside. Never come back to life.

"Mr. Duan, are you kidding? We can't discuss this matter in Dongchang." Lu Shangxuan could feel that cold sweat was pouring down his back. A cold feeling surrounded by murderous intent made his brain a little sluggish. "If what my wife just said offended Mr. Duan, I will ask her to apologize to you!"

While Lu Shangxuan smiled apologetically, he pulled Dou Lianyi hard, asking her to bow her head to Duan Wu Jiu and apologize.

Dou Lianyi bit her lip, knowing that if she didn't say this, she might not be able to leave the general's mansion.

So she could only lower her eyebrows, and said calmly and in compliance with Lu Shangxuan's wishes: "Master Duan, if Lianyi has offended him in any way, please be generous and show your respect this time."

After Dou Lianyi finished saying this, she waited for a long time but didn't get Duan Wujiu's answer.

She raised her eyes in confusion, and met Duan Wujiu's focused gaze.

"ripple."

Duan Wu Jiu's red lips moved slightly, and it seemed like he was chanting her name normally, but against his jade-like face that was indistinguishable from male and female, there was a hint of weirdness. "Master Duan, please call me the county's wife."

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly and subconsciously reminded Duan Wu Jiu.

I always felt like something bad would happen if I heard my name from his mouth.

After a while, Duan Wu Jiu continued to test with a smile on his face, "I thought you didn't like the identity of the county's wife. Otherwise, why don't you look very happy every time you hear it?"

"I have never had such an idea. I think Master Duan must have misunderstood or misunderstood Ripple's actions."

Dou Lianyi looked calm and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Instead of getting entangled with Duan Wujiu, who couldn't tell the truth, it would be better to face Lu Shangxuan.

After all, not everyone dares to provoke Duan Wujiu, a moody and unpredictable governor of Dongchang.

"Oh, you are still the first person who dares to question this governor," Duan Wu Jiu was not annoyed, but seemed to be in a better mood. He raised his hand and gently stroked the long hair on his temples. He suddenly smiled softly: "Okay, don't stare at me with big eyes and small eyes. Let's go back to the house, so as not to make everyone think that I am so murderous and unblinking."

After that, he glanced at Dou Lianyi lightly, then waved his hand lazily, turned around and left without any hesitation.

After Duan Wujiu had gone far away, Lu Shangxuan, who had been afraid to express his anger, could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

This god of death was simply too terrifying. Being stared at by him was like being watched by countless venomous snakes, unable to move. Lu Shangxuan shuddered subconsciously, with a still frightened look on his face.

But he still didn't forget to urge Dou Lianyi, asking her to quickly pack up and go back to the house together.

On the contrary, Dou Lianyi had already adapted to Duan Wujiu's cold feeling. For some reason, she always felt that Duan Wujiu would not kill her easily.

Could it be because of that absurdity?
Before Dou Lianyi could figure out the reason, he followed Lu Shangxuan's footsteps and left the general's mansion in a hurry.

It wasn't until he got on the carriage that Lu Shangxuan truly relaxed. A sinister expression appeared on his face, and he kept cursing: "But a eunuch from Dongchang has the nerve to dress ostentatiously. It's really shocking." nausea!"

"But it's weird. How could General Xiao deal with an eunuch? Could it be that he did something to attract Dongchang's attention?"

Lu Shangxuan talked to himself for a long time, but did not wait for Dou Lianyi's reply. He subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at her, only to see Dou Lianyi sitting on the edge of the carriage with an expressionless face, the furthest distance from him. Far away.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan immediately became a little unhappy.

"Let me talk about Lian Niang, why did Wu Jiu keep staring at you during that time in the general's mansion? Could it be that he has taken a liking to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Dou Lianyi could react, Lu Shangxuan shook his head again and murmured: "How is this possible? He is just an eunuch. Even if he is the governor of Dongchang, he is still a useless person who cannot do anything. That’s all.”

Speaking of this, Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly. Seeing that he was going too far, she couldn't help but reply: "How do you know he is a useless person?"

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief: "Lian Niang, weren't you frightened by him? Do you know who Duan Wujiu is?"
