I sneered in my heart, thinking that she saw that my earrings were of good quality and overshadowed the pair she gave to Chen Rong Xinyue. But she didn't think about it. If she really cherished her friendship, Chen Rong Xinyue would never give it to the maid even if she gave her a wooden hairpin.

The tip of the arrow was on fire, and the sound of it breaking through the air and Chen Rong's screams were heard at the same time, as it whistled towards me. The earrings were so small, and the fireball was so big, whether it hit or not, it would burn my ears, cheeks and hair, and disfigurement was inevitable.

I quickly dodged, but the fire soon came in front of me and I subconsciously closed my eyes.

A gust of wind blew by, and someone beside me snatched the arrow away. I could feel the heat in front of me move away.

I opened one eye and saw Feng Long standing not far away, holding the Red Emperor Whip in his hand, with an angry look on his face and his thick brows furrowed. It was he who had used the whip to sweep the arrow away just now.

He hurried over and asked, "Lanxiang, are you okay?"

I bowed and replied, "Thank you, Master Fenglong, for your timely rescue. Lanxiang is fine."

He coiled the Scarlet Emperor Whip back around his waist, glared at Fang Feng Yi Ying, and asked, "Miss Fang Feng, why did you use a weapon in my house? Is there anything you can't talk about calmly?"

Fangfeng Yiying pursed her lips, bowed, and replied: "Fangfeng Yiying greets Master Fenglong. Master, you don't know that you, my concubine, secretly broke my things and snooped through my luggage, so I..."

Feng Long glared and said, "You can't be so harsh! This arrow is on fire. If it burns her face, no amount of magic medicine or elixir can save her. How can she live like this in the future?"

Fang Feng Yiying glanced at me sideways, then looked at Feng Long, meaning that from now on, you, Master Feng Long, will be protecting me. However, she was afraid of Feng Long and did not say it out loud.

Seeing that she remained silent, Feng Long did not want to be too harsh on the guest, so he turned to ask Chen Rong Xinyue: "Xinyue, why don't you try to persuade her, but just stand there and watch?!"

Chen Rong Xinyue looked aggrieved: "Brother, I didn't know that Sister Yiying would be so quick to shoot arrows. I tried to persuade her before, but the thing was really broken, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to give her a little punishment..."

Feng Long said angrily, "You, you! Really! Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll take Lanxiang away now, and I'll talk to you later! You girls get together to recite poems, play the piano, and paint. It's safer to play with rouge and powder than this! Lanxiang, let's go!"

Then he turned and led me out of the garden.

Seeing that he was still angry, I comforted him, "Sir, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. Lanxiang is fine now. Nothing has happened today."

He sighed and said, "Alas! You are right, but my sister is also spoiled and unrestrained. Don't blame her for not protecting you. I will teach her a lesson later! As for Miss Fengfeng... it is not my turn to teach her a lesson for the time being."

I thought to myself, maybe Chen Rong Xinyue didn't have time to react later, but before that, it was clear that she didn't take me seriously. Whether to protect or not, that's it. If it's not troublesome, she will give advice, if it's troublesome, she will shrink and not bother to care. If Feng Long scolds her again because of me, I'm afraid she will not only not listen, but will also hate me even more in the future.

I smiled and said, "Young lady didn't react for a while, so please don't blame her. I have already scolded her just now, so don't let this matter hurt the harmony between brother and sister."

Feng Long sighed, "Lan Xiang, you are so smart and gentle! Even if she is only one tenth as good as you! But did you damage Miss Fang Feng's things? You are always cautious, how come you failed this time?"

I looked around and saw that it was quiet, except for a boy carrying tea in the corridor. I lowered my voice and said, "Sir, there is something fishy about Miss Fangfeng. If you don't believe me, you can follow me to her room to take a look."

Feng Long hesitated for a moment and said, "This...is not good, right? It's not convenient for me, a grown man, to go into the room of a girl in the boudoir."

I added: "We should make do with expediency. This matter concerns the young master, so Master Fenglong does not need to worry too much."

Feng Long was surprised and said, "Is it related to Jing's safety?! Then I have to go and take a look."

So he led me to Fangfeng Yiying's house. Fangfeng Yiying only brought a maid, who was now serving her personally. The servants who carried the luggage really went back after dinner as the elder said, and never came back here again.

There was only one maid in the yard trimming dead branches. When she saw Fenglong and I coming over, she quickly threw the big scissors over and bowed, saying, "Your servant Yuzhi greets the young master and Miss Lanxiang."

Feng Long smiled and said, "Get up. I just happened to be passing by, so I wanted to see how Miss Fangfeng's place is tidying up, and see if there's anything else she wants to buy. I feel a little hungry, and you're here. Go to the kitchen and get me some braised meat and hot soup. I want the old hen soup cooked by Mama Liu."

The maid hesitated a little and said, "Sir, Madam Liu didn't make this soup this morning, so it can't be heated up..."

I smiled and said, "If it's never been made before, let her make it now. Bring the braised pork first, and some good tea. It's a rare occasion that the young master wants to eat it, isn't it?"

The maid suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes! That's right, young lady! Yuzhi will do it right away!"

Feng Long and I exchanged a glance and said to her, "After you get it, go to Mr. Feng Long's place and wait. We will just walk around the yard and come back soon. We won't eat here."

The maid answered yes and trotted out of the yard.

I immediately locked the gate of the courtyard, held out my hand from a distance, and said, "Please come in, sir."

Feng Long smiled bitterly, raised his hand, a ray of light fell on the door, and the door lock fell.

I followed him into the house and saw that the furnishings had changed slightly, but the two large boxes were still in the bedroom.

I walked closer to the box, and Feng Long leaned over and asked, "Are you talking about this box?" He raised his hand to do the same thing again, but I quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, wait. Do you have a sharp weapon like a dagger? This time I need to pry the lock open."

Feng Long was surprised and said, "Why is it so troublesome? It's just a matter of raising my hand."

I smiled slightly and said, "I want to leave the house, but I'll have to ask the young master to be furious later."

Feng Long immediately understood and said, "So that's it! I was wondering why Jing came back but didn't come in, waiting at the door. It turns out he was waiting for you!"

When I heard that Tu Shanjing had returned, a surge of warmth surged in my heart, and I said, "Yes, Lanxiang was worried about having no excuse to leave the mansion. If I said that I ran away because I was punished by Fangfeng Yiying, she would inevitably get suspicious. So she used this as an excuse to ask the young master to expel me from the mansion."
