All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

"Chu Qirui, be careful!" Lu Yundi came to his senses and saw the bandits attacking Chu Qirui from behind, and immediately shouted.

Her voice echoed through the quiet woods, startling the roosting birds.

Chu Qirui heard the sound and turned around quickly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He swung his long sword and instantly cut off the machete in the bandit's hand. The bandit cried out in pain, fell to the ground, and struggled in pain.

"Madam, it's okay." Chu Qirui put away his sword and smiled at Lu Yundi, his eyes full of concern.

Lu Yundi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She quickly walked to Chu Qirui, looked him up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that he was not injured.

"These bandits are becoming more and more rampant. They even dare to attack us in broad daylight." Lu Yundi frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Chu Qirui gently held Lu Yundi's hand and said softly, "Madam, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's leave first."

The two turned around and prepared to leave, when suddenly a burst of laughter came from deep in the woods. Then, a group of bandits rushed out from all directions and surrounded them.

"Haha, we didn't expect that the young marquis of Chongren Marquis's Mansion and the wife of Marquis Zhenxing would appear here together. It really surprised us!" A bandit leader sneered, with greed flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yundi held Chu Qirui's hand tightly and said with a firm expression: "Chu Qirui, we can't let them succeed."

Chu Qirui nodded gently, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Madam, don't worry, I will protect you."

The bandit leader was puzzled to see the two men so calm. He waved his hand, signaling his men to go forward and capture them.

"Wait!" Chu Qirui suddenly shouted. He looked at the bandit leader and said calmly, "Do you know who we are?"

The bandit leader was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Of course I know, one of you is the young marquis of Chongren Marquis's Mansion, and the other is the wife of Zhenxing Marquis. However, now that you have fallen into our hands, it will not be so easy to escape."

Chu Qirui smiled slightly and said, "Since you know our identities, you should also know that we are not ordinary people. If you dare to attack us, the consequences will not be something you can bear."

A hint of hesitation flashed across the bandit leader's eyes, but he quickly regained his indifference: "Humph, we are just bandits, is there any consequence that we cannot afford?"

Chu Qirui's expression suddenly became serious, and he said coldly: "Then you can give it a try."

As Chu Qirui finished speaking, the atmosphere around them instantly became tense. The bandits raised their weapons and prepared to attack. Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi were also ready to fight.

At this moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from the depths of the woods and hit a bandit in the chest. The bandit screamed and fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, and then a mysterious man in black walked out of the woods. He was agile and had sharp eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.

"Who are you?" The bandit leader looked at the mysterious man warily.

The mysterious man did not answer. He just glanced at Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi indifferently, then turned around and attacked the bandits.

Seeing this, Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi immediately joined the battle. For a moment, the woods were filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.

After a fierce battle, the mysterious man finally repelled the bandits. Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi also took the opportunity to escape from the woods. They looked back and saw the mysterious man standing there, looking in the direction they left, with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"Thank you for saving us." Lu Yundi said gratefully to the mysterious man.

The mysterious man shook his head slightly and said, "I just can't stand the behavior of these bandits, so I'm helping them. You also have to be careful, there are still many bandits around here."

Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi responded in unison and continued on their way. They secretly vowed to wipe out the bandits and restore the tranquility of the forest.

Deep in the woods, the bandit leader covered his wound with a vicious look in his eyes. He looked in the direction where Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi left and said coldly, "Just wait, I will definitely come back!"

"We must return to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible and request reinforcements." Chu Qirui said as he walked, his eyes full of determination.

Lu Yundi nodded. Her face was a little pale, but her eyes were filled with unshakable determination: "Yes, we can't let these bandits continue to do evil."

The three of them carefully walked through the woods and finally came to a safer road. Chu Qirui and Lu Yundi stopped and turned to thank the mysterious man.

"My benefactor, we don't know your name, but my husband and I will never forget your life-saving grace." Chu Qirui bowed deeply.

The mysterious man nodded slightly, and a barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes: "I just saw injustice and helped. Be careful, the bandits are cunning, don't take it lightly."

After saying that, the mysterious man turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing around the corner of the road.

……

Lu Yundi was angry and scared, and couldn't help but vent his resentment to Chu Qirui.

Chu Qirui frowned slightly. Facing Lu Yundi's resentment, he was not angry, but seemed a little helpless. He sighed softly, took a step forward, and looked at Lu Yundi softly: "Madam, if you have any resentment, just come to me. But, are you really willing to understand the story behind this?"

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she quickly firmed her gaze and bit her lower lip and said, "Of course I am willing to understand! Young Marquis Chu, how can I not be angry about what you have done all along? You clearly know how I feel about you, but why do you avoid me again and again?"

Chu Qirui's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Madam, I know that my feelings for you have hurt you. But I did this because I have more important things to do in my heart. Please believe that I did not mean to hurt you."

After hearing this, Lu Yundi's anger subsided a little, but he still asked unwillingly: "More important things? What is more important than my feelings for you?"

Chu Qirui took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yundi firmly: "Madam, there are some things in this world that we cannot change. As the young marquis of Chongren Marquis's Mansion, I have the mission and responsibility of the mansion on my shoulders. I must do something I am unwilling to do for the future of the mansion."

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with shock. She didn't expect Chu Qirui to say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment, and then her tone softened a little: "The mission of the Marquis' Mansion? Is your Marquis' Mansion more important than my feelings?"

Chu Qirui shook his head gently, his eyes revealing endless guilt: "Madam, this is not to say that the Marquis's Mansion is more important than your feelings. It's just that in this world, there are some responsibilities that we cannot shirk. I don't want you to get hurt, but I really can't give up my responsibilities."
