"No matter how smart a woman she is, she can't go against the government when the situation is forced." Lu Jinfeng smashed his fist on the ground, his eyes filled with anger, "Blame me for being too weak, to the point that I can't even protect my own woman!"

"Shout louder. Don't even mention protecting her, even the two of us can't protect ourselves." Shangguan Bai glanced at him, his gaze strange. "Didn't Chen Mu Mu Mu say that you and her are siblings, and that your Master hasn't been acknowledged? Aren't you afraid that your words will ruin her reputation?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu kept up with the official, saying that they were just siblings?

Then she … She really did like Shangguan Bai.

Lu Jinfeng was very stifled, and seeing Shangguan Bai thinking for Chen Mu Mu like this, he said sinisterly: "So what, if worst comes to worst, I'll just marry her!"

Anyway, he passed through his door and came to his home, and could already be considered his wife.

"You're quite open-minded, but you didn't ask Mu Mu Mu for her thoughts. Is she willing to marry you?" When Shangguan Bai saw his agitation, he added fuel to the fire.

"She should be willing." Although she did not say it, he could tell that she did not hate him anymore.

Mother once said that the first step for having a lover is to never hate the beginning. If you don't hate it, then under the same roof, sooner or later, love will be born.

And he was confident that he would be able to make Chen Mu fall in love with him, firmly holding her hand.

Of course, the prerequisite was …

Lu Jinfeng silently glanced at Shangguan Bai beside him, and said in his heart.

Unless this sultry Shangguan Bai didn't get involved in his relationship with Chen Mu Mu Mu.

Chen Mu Mu Mu's impression of Shangguan Bai was very high, and Shangguan Bai's own condition was not bad. If Shangguan Bai had the heart to fight with him for Chen Mu, then his chances of winning would drop by half.

However … This eyesore was truly interested in Chen Mu Mu.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Jinfeng's heart became even more worried.

"Should?" Shangguan Bai smiled. "This way, you aren't sure about her feelings for you, you can just force yourself onto her like this, regardless of her wishes, will she be willing if you're willing?" If she didn't love you, she wouldn't be happy. "

Lu Jinfeng held onto the large stone with all his might, his chest rising and falling as his breathing became ragged.

"So what? She can only be mine."

He looked at Shangguan Bai, raising his head as if he was declaring his ownership of the matter, and transcribed, "I dare say that she likes me too."

That's wishful thinking.

An almost imperceptible bitterness suffused Shangguan Bai's lips. He lifted his eyes, however, they were clear and his tone was slow and meaningful.

"Unfortunately, you may not be her good person."

"What did you say?" Lu Jinfeng stared at him, her eyes burning with anger, "Why do you say that, you are not her!"

"But I have eyes." Shangguan Bai pursed his lips and smiled lightly, "Her ambition is thousands of miles away, and you have no ability to protect her. You can't compare yourself with her, even protect her under your own wings. When she is with you, other than enduring poverty, suppressing her ambitions, and feeling fear for all sorts of things, what else can you get from her? "

Shangguan Bai leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes slightly. His voice was distant and cold, but it seeped into one's heart.

"Lu Jinfeng loves a person means you want her to be happy and give her all the happiness."

He could do it.

Just as Lu Jinfeng wanted to speak, he heard Shangguan Bai say: "If she can't do it, then she should be allowed to leave."

"You are unwilling to let go, so you must do your best."

Shangguan Bai stared at him, his eyes cold and resolute. "Lu Jinfeng, I hope you can protect her and make her happy for the rest of her life."

Lu Jinfeng was startled. "You …"

He could tell that Shangguan Bai liked Chen Mu Mu, so why did he say such words?

Why...

He knew it in his heart.

He looked at him deeply, nodded his head slightly. "I will, thank you."

"No need to thank me. I did not say that I would withdraw." Shangguan Bai said.

Lu Jinfeng, "... She's mine! "

As expected, people who dealt in business were the most cunning. No wonder they were called evil merchants. They were simply two-faced and fickle.

"Not yet." Shangguan Bai suppressed the blood and qi in his chest, seeing that he still wanted to speak, he raised his hand and made a silent gesture. He leaned his ear to listen for a while, then said, "Those people should have already left."

"Since they've left, let's leave." Lu Jinfeng was worried about Chen Mu Mu and was about to stand up and leave after hearing what she said.

"No rush, they're almost here." Shangguan Bai extended a hand to stop him, "If I were to go out recklessly like this, it will only attract more killers."

No one knew how many more groups of killers there were out there, but they were all injured, so it would be inconvenient for them to waste time on them.

If he continued to waste more time, he might even lose his life.

"How much longer?" Lu Jinfeng understood this principle, and could only watch as the sun at noon slowly climbed into the clouds, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Chen Mu Mu wasn't an ordinary person. She was strong and intelligent, able to stand alone in this world.

But so what? In the end, she was still a woman.

In the face of prison, would she be afraid, flustered, and hesitant?

She had always been strong and independent, but that didn't mean she was tough at all, and he wanted to be able to help when she needed help, not watch her suffer and be helpless.

He wanted to be the one who protected her.

"It should be soon." Shangguan Bai glanced at him and said leisurely, "Rather than being so anxious and impulsive, why don't you take advantage of this time to think about what to do next? You can't go to the prison as soon as you leave." "Then you will only harm her."

"Do you have an idea?" Lu Jinfeng took a deep breath in and out, trying to calm himself down.

"Find out who the mastermind is, then we can return her innocence." Shangguan Bai squinted his eyes and smiled, a cold light that was rarely seen flashed in his eyes. "You dared to scheme against my Shangguan family, you should let them see the Shangguan family's methods, otherwise they would think we're easy to bully."

After the two discussed for a while, they heard footsteps coming from outside the cave after half a cup of tea.

Lu Jinfeng and Shangguan Bai's expressions tensed up. They thought that the killer had come again, but when they heard the girl's anxious voice calling out to them, "Big brother, where are you?"

"It's one of our people." Shangguan Bai gestured, and the young man said loudly, "Yue'er, we are here."

The woman heard the sounds and came over. When she saw the two of them, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"How did you all get covered in wounds? Can this really be saved?"

Was he here to save her or to anger her? If the two of them were a little narrow-minded, they probably wouldn't even be able to breathe.

Lu Jinfeng sized the girl up, and saw that she was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a body like fire, red clothes, beautiful figure, bright and beautiful facial features, and amorous almond eyes, giving her a rather valiant and charming appearance. As he looked at her, he became a bit dazed. He had a feeling that he had seen this woman somewhere before.

As his gaze fell, it suddenly stopped on the simple wooden bracelet on the woman's wrist, and his eyes dimmed.

He remembered that this bracelet was originally from his mother, Li Liu'er. In order to make him happy with his wife, he used three taels of silver as a pawn. Later on, he and Chen Mu went to redeem it, but the pawnbroker treated them like fat sheep and didn't succeed in redemption. The next time he went to the pawnshop, the bracelet had already been bought.

He remembered where he had seen this woman before, at Feng Ling Xian's house.

"This is my sister, Shangguan Yue." When Shangguan Bai saw that he was staring straight at Shangguan Yue, he took the initiative to introduce him, "What, did you fall in love at first sight?"

"Big brother!" Shangguan Yue glared at him, her fair and charming face quickly flushed red, "What nonsense are you spouting? It's not the first time I've met you."

The one who fell in love with him at first sight was her. She had been yearning for the past few days, but who would have thought that she would meet him in such a situation?

She turned her head, her almond eyes flashing, and her voice was tender and gentle, with a hint of bashfulness in it, "Young Master Lu, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Lu Jinfeng nodded at her, then shifted his gaze away from her wrist.

"Do you remember me?" A hint of happiness flashed past Shangguan Yue's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Shangguan Bai's voice suddenly sounded out.

"Shangguan Yue, don't go over there to reminisce about old times. We are both injured."

Shangguan Bai's excited heart was retracted. Seeing the injuries of the two, he hurriedly called out to the people who accompanied them: "Quick, help the Young Master and Young Master Lu to leave, we shouldn't stay here for long."

When the evening sun set, the messenger sent someone to the prison to summon Chen Mu Mu.

Chen Mu Mu Mu came to the room summoned by the messenger, but it was empty. She looked around and frowned after a while, "Since sire has summoned this commoner to investigate, why didn't you show yourself?"

He called out twice, but there was still no sound from the room.

Chen Mu Mu Mu was getting impatient as he turned around to leave. "Since sire doesn't wish to see this commoner, this commoner shall return to his cell to wait."

Seeing that she really wanted to leave, the person hiding behind the curtain finally couldn't hold it in and jumped out.

"Do you like being in a cell so much?"

Chen Mu Mu Mu turned his head to look. The person dressed in luxurious clothing, with a handsome face and a slovenly smile on his face, wasn't that Qin Tianshui?

Why did Qin Tiansei want to see her?

They had clearly been summoned by the messenger, but the person they had just met was Qin Tianshui. What was the relationship between the two of them?

In the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, thousands of thoughts had already flashed through his mind.

Chen Mu Mu smiled and said naturally: "I don't like it, but under the circumstances, the cell is safer than any other place."

Qin Tianshui walked briskly, and before long, he was in front of her. "Are you mocking me for wanting to harm you?"

"Could I, as a prisoner, be brought out by someone for no reason?" Chen Mu Mu asked.

This girl's mouth was truly sharp. He couldn't even compare to her.

Qin Tianliang laughed lightly, "Don't worry, I still have the same words. I am not your enemy, and I did not think that I would harm you."

"I'm short on time." Chen Mu Mu Mu continued, "Sometimes, opportunities pass by in an instant and if you miss it, it will cause you to regret it for the rest of your life. You're delaying me, so how can you say that you're harmless to me?"

"To be able to come up with so many reasons even after meeting you once." The corner of Qin Tianshui's mouth twitched. "Fine, since you think I'm wasting your time, I'll go straight to the point. How about we make a deal?"

"Tell me about it." As a merchant, he could not help but feel excited when he heard the words "deal".
