The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

Chapter 217 is more like a betrothal proposal!

They were all silver notes with a face value of one thousand.

With that thickness, it would cost at least three or four hundred thousand.

Are they from Peacock Terrace so rich?

He is so young, yet he has already saved so much money!

Besides being surprised, Li Shu thought again that before her wedding to Ning Jin, the total amount of betrothal gifts given to her by the Dingbei Marquisate did not seem to be more than 300,000 or 400,000!

So this is really a betrothal gift?

Who gives out three or four hundred thousand yuan as a New Year’s gift?

Is it possible...

Lin Yuan interpreted her previous words "stay with me forever" as her acceptance of him...

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips slightly and looked at Lin Yuan.

She wanted to tell him that she didn't mean that at the time.

But when she met those eyes that were filled with her and her expectations, she was inexplicably unable to speak.

Seeing that she was about to speak but hesitated, Lin Yuan hurriedly said, "Miss, you don't know, Sanniang left me a few gambling houses to manage when I was thirteen. Most of this money is the profits from those gambling houses over the past four years. I originally wanted to give it to Sanniang, but she said that I was not young anymore and should save money for my wife, so these are all from a clean source! I definitely didn't steal or rob them!"

My wife...

It's more like a proposal!

Li Shu pursed her lips tighter.

But the fact is, when Lin Yuan ran back to the building to pack a New Year's gift bag for her, he compared the thickness of the New Year's gift bag that Yin Wanyu gave her, and stuffed all his belongings into it!

After a long while, Li Shu spoke carefully, "Lin Yuan, no one would give so many New Year's gifts at once, you..."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Yuan suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, then lay down with her in his arms.

In surprise and doubt, she heard countless sounds of breaking through the air.

The next moment, dozens of sharp arrows pierced the carriage.

Before she could even startle, Lin Yuan had already taken off his cloak and wrapped up countless sharp arrows that could hurt them, and rolled into a corner while holding her.

She was secretly marveling at his skills when another sound of breaking air came.

At the same time, she heard Jingzhe Guyu shouting, "Miss, be careful!"

I also heard the screams of countless passers-by.

But she subconsciously hugged Lin Yuan's neck so that it would be easier for him to roll over and dodge with her in his arms, but she did not wait until the sharp arrow shot into the carriage.

Until Lin Yuan said in her ear: "It's okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man climbed onto the carriage and shouted at him, "Boss, these are all assassins. After being surrounded by us, they realized there was no hope of escape and simply committed suicide by taking poison. They didn't have anything on them to prove their identity."

"Spread out, don't let anyone follow you."

"Yes."

After the man withdrew, Li Shu looked up at Lin Yuan.

His face was the coldest she had ever seen.

The dark eyes that were still filled with her were now surging with terrifying murderous intent.

Strange, but it made her feel at ease.

And when he noticed her gaze, and looked down at her, his expression softened instantly, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared.

At this moment, Li Shu's heart beat faster.

"Miss, are you scared? I'm so negligent. I forgot to tell you that besides Jingzhe and I, Sanniang has arranged several other groups of people around you. No matter what kind of danger you encounter, we will definitely protect you!"

"That's it."

Li Shu suddenly realized what was happening, then loosened her arms that were tightly hugging Lin Yuan's neck, and at the same time stepped back from Lin Yuan's arms.

Then, Aunt Gui's panicked voice reached her ears, "Jingzhe! Where's the young lady? Is she hurt?"

Li Shu immediately stood up and said to Lin Yuan, "It's New Year's Day, and the guards in the capital may be a little relaxed, but the scene just now was definitely not something an ordinary person could handle. Change your appearance before going down."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan nodded, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes again.

If he hadn't been in the young lady's carriage today, the young lady would have probably already...

As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, she got out of the carriage.

People from the city defense camp have already come to maintain order.

The leader must have seen her.

As soon as he saw her, he immediately came up to her and bowed, saying, "General Feng Yuan greets Madam Ning. I am the Lieutenant General of the City Defense Battalion. This area is within my patrol today. It was because I and others were not vigilant enough that Madam Ning was attacked. I will return to the camp later to ask for punishment, but I would like to ask Madam Ning a question..."

"You ask."

"There were many people walking around just now, but no one was injured. Those assassins only attacked your carriage, Madam. I wonder if you have made any enemies recently?"

"I don't think so."

"Then, after we have found out the identities of those assassins, we will go to the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion to inform the Crown Prince's wife."

"Well, I'm done."

"We need to collect the arrows inside and outside the Crown Prince's wife's carriage, so we have to take the Crown Prince's wife's carriage back to the camp temporarily. Do you want us to arrange a carriage to take the Crown Prince's wife back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"..."

Just as Li Shu was about to say no, Nanny Gui turned it down for her, "Don't bother. There's a carriage from the Grand Princess's Mansion in the back. Our young lady can just take the carriage."

Miss?

Feng Yuan looked at Nanny Gui with some concern, but didn't dare to ask more.

At this time, Lin Yuan, who had changed his appearance, got off the carriage.

Meeting Feng Yuan's inquiring gaze towards Lin Yuan, Li Shu said, "He is also my secret guard. It was thanks to him that he blocked the arrow that shot into the carriage just now."

After saying that, Li Shu immediately said, "Let's go."

Feng Yuan watched them get on the carriage behind, and then watched the carriage drive away. Only then did he begin to carefully look at the carriage in front of him that had been pierced like a hedgehog, and the arrows scattered around the carriage.

Then he entered the carriage and looked at the arrows scattered on the ground and the holes pierced by arrows around the carriage. He imagined what it would look like when the arrows shot into the carriage, and couldn't help but be amazed at the secret guard's skills.

If it were him, there would be no way he could ensure that his master would be unharmed in that situation.

Do not!

Not to mention him, even their leader would never do it!

Meanwhile, on the departing carriage, Nanny Gui clutched her chest in fear and said to Li Shu, "To cause such a scene under the Emperor's feet, on New Year's Day, is something no ordinary person could possibly do. Young Miss, you should just go back to the Marquis' Mansion and not go to Nanshan Temple! If we encounter another attack, or one that's even more ferocious than the one just now, even with Lin Yuan here, he might not be able to protect you!"

Qinghong and Cuiwei nodded vigorously behind Aunt Gui.

Li Shu watched them in silence for a moment before stopping the carriage and saying, "Just now, your carriage was right behind me, yet it wasn't attacked. This shows the enemy's target is very clear. Madam, you and Qinghong Cuiwei get off the carriage here and return to the Marquis' Mansion. Guyu will follow you back. Jingzhe and Linyuan will accompany me to Nanshan Temple."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, Mammy. I know what's going on."

"Then Miss, please come back quickly!"

After saying that, Aunt Gui turned to Lin Yuan and said, "The young lady is now in your hands!"

Lin Yuan was about to nod when he heard Aunt Gui say, "Your face looks awkward no matter how you look at it. Next time, change your appearance to a better-looking one!"

Lin Yuan: “…”

After Nanny Gui and the others got off the carriage and it started moving again, he took out a small mirror from his bosom and looked at his face again and again.

Is it awkward?

Why does he think it looks pretty good?

He didn't put away the mirror until Li Shu covered her face with a handkerchief and burst out laughing.
