"What do you want to do to our young lady!" Qiang Ze exerted his strength with the sword in his hand. Jiang Quhan was not afraid at all. His expression was calm and composed.

He gently stretched out his right index finger and middle finger to clamp the sword blade, and moved the sword away from his neck.

He smiled and said in a calm tone: "Your lady was drugged just now, and I was the one who relieved her of the drug's effects. Is it possible that you two still want to repay kindness with enmity?" After hearing his words, the sword in Qiang Ze's hand was loose. After coming down, Qingxu also put down the sword in his hand.

The tension eased a bit, and Qingxu and Qiang Ze behind them signaled Jiang Quhan to get up.

He stood up calmly and handed Ning Ziqing, who had been holding him in his arms, into Qiang Ze's hands.

Jiang Quhan calmly took out the folding fan from his waist and spread it out gracefully.His eyes glanced at the two swordsmen in front of him.

"You ladies are being targeted, you two need to be careful. You are not always lucky enough to meet me like today!" He said, put away the folding fan, turned around and left.

Hearing this, Qiang Ze and Qingxu frowned.They were too careless today, thinking that Ning Ziqing was following Fu Yujie, and the two were somewhat related, so there shouldn't be any problems.Unexpectedly, something went wrong.

They originally followed Ning Ziqing to Xianju Pavilion and waited outside the door.It wasn't until the sound of fighting came from the building that they rushed in instantly, but were entangled by the thugs as pirates.

Qiang Ze decided to cover Qingxu out of trouble and asked him to find Ning Ziqing, while he was entangled by thugs.He struggled and eventually succeeded in distracting the goon.

Jiang Ze successfully broke through and ran all the way to the fourth floor. When he found that the door of Ning Ziqing's private room was locked, he suddenly felt bad.

So, without hesitation, he climbed out of the window on the fourth floor, stepped on the eaves to the private room where Ning Ziqing was, and broke in through the window.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. If something happened to Ning Ziqing, he and Qingxu would not be able to explain to Su Yanqi.

Qingxu and Qianze glanced at each other, broke into a cold sweat, and then left Xianju Pavilion with Ning Ziqing.

When Huo Yunjue rushed to the fourth floor after catching the pirates, he found that the room was in a mess, and it was obvious that he had experienced a fierce fight.He was very worried about Ning Ziqing's safety and planned to chase her.

As soon as Huo Yunjue stepped out the door, he bumped into Jiang Quhan.

After Jiang Quhan stood firm, he saw Huo Yunjue's worried face. He then glanced at the room behind him and guessed that he might know Ning Ziqing, so he told him that Ning Ziqing had been rescued by two guards and asked him to rest assured.

Huo Yunjue was a little surprised after hearing this, so she asked Jiang Quhan about the appearance of the two guards who rescued her, and then she realized that they were the ones sent by Su Yanqi.

Only then did he feel relieved and prepared to take the pirates to the Cangzhou government office for interrogation in order to find out where the pirates were hiding.

He decided to settle the matter with the pirates first and then go to Fu Mansion to find Ning Ziqing.

When he led Wei Feng and Wei Yu back downstairs, he was stopped by Jiang Quhan who was behind him: "May I ask, my lord, are you the "Ah Jue" that the young lady said?

Huo Yunjue suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Quhan, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes a little confused.

He stared at Jiang Quhan for a moment, his expression became serious, as if he was examining the relationship between him and Ning Ziqing.

Jiang Quhan was a little frightened by Huo Yunjue's sharp gaze, and quickly explained: "My lord, I misunderstood. I saved the young lady just now, and she called your name when she was drunk."

After hearing what he said, Huo Yunjue's face turned livid. He was very angry that Ning Ziqing was drinking with a strange man behind his back and was still drunk.Anger surged inside him, and his eyes grew colder and colder.

He tried his best to control his emotions and thanked Jiang Quhan with clasped fists: "Thank you very much for saving my sweetheart. Since I have important matters to deal with today, I can only express my gratitude to you another day! Farewell!"

"You're welcome, sir. Let's go slowly!"

Jiang Quhan returned the greeting respectfully, looking at his leaving back with an unknown smile in his eyes.

He closed the folding fan in his hand and sighed quietly: "Interesting!"

As night falls, the Fu Mansion is brightly lit and crowded, and the servants are busy going in and out in a hurry.

Xinxiang Garden was crowded with people. In the dormitory, Mrs. Wen was delivering Tao Xinyi's baby. It was supposed that she would be in labor for a few days, but she didn't expect that she had a sudden stomach attack during dinner.

Fortunately, the mansion had already made preparations. At this time, the midwife was busy instructing the maids around her to bring out the necessary items, while also calming Tao Xinyi's emotions.

Tao Xinyi groaned in pain on the bed, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.The midwife checked the fetal position and asked the maids to bring hot water, gauze and scissors.

Everyone in the Fu Mansion was waiting anxiously outside the door, and Fu Yuyan was even more uneasy, pacing back and forth with a nervous expression.

Uncle Fu on the side looked displeased: "Can't you just calm down for a while? Look at your appearance, it dazzled my eyes!" He rubbed his forehead irritably.

Fu Yuyan stopped and rubbed his hands uneasily: "Dad, I'm too nervous, I'm worried about Xin'er!" He looked panicked, and when he heard the movement in the house, he added: "They say that a woman giving birth is like walking into a ghost gate, I'm afraid of Xin'er My son is in danger...!"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Fu interrupted him sharply, and then gave him a fierce look.

"Don't talk nonsense on this special day. In Xin Yi's belly is the eldest grandson of our Fu family. He will be born safely!" Mrs. Fu scolded with a straight face.

Fu Yuyan also felt that she had said the wrong thing, and she pursed her lips tightly and did not dare to speak again.

At this moment, the second lady and Aunt Luo also arrived.Uncle Fu looked around and found that Ning Ziqing was not there, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Why haven't you seen Qing Yatou? Where has she gone?" he asked.

Fu Yujie hid half of his body behind the second wife, and replied with evasive eyes: "Father, today I took my third cousin out to play. She drank a few too many glasses of wine and was very drunk. She is probably not awake yet!"

Fu Yujie looked slightly nervous. He was chased out of Xianju Tower by Qingxu during the day, and he quickly got on the carriage and fled back to his house.

After returning to the mansion, he had been uneasy, fearing that Ning Ziqing would file a complaint with Uncle Fu.

When he thought about not succeeding in getting Ning Ziqing today, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

In fact, Fu Yujie deliberately lured Ning Ziqing to Xianju Tower today. There was no miracle doctor at all.

He had only heard it mentioned by others occasionally, and seeing that Ning Ziqing was very concerned about Mr. Fu's condition, he came up with this excuse to lure her to Xianju Tower so that he could drug her.

Originally everything was under Fu Yujie's control, but Ning Ziqing was unexpectedly accompanied by guards.

He was really surprised. It seemed that he had underestimated the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.Fu Yujie's eyes gradually turned cold.

The assassin sent to Gucheng failed to assassinate him before, presumably it was also the work of the two guards.

Fu Yujie originally planned to assassinate Ning Ziqing on her way here, so that Mr. Fu would think she had an accident, so that no one would come to divide the Fu family's property.

Who would have thought that Ning Ziqing would be surrounded by guards with superb martial arts skills.

After today's miss, the two guards would probably be more wary of him.
