Chapter 204: Stone Statue Warning

 Midnight.

 It was snowing heavily, and Rong Che led people to patrol the streets with his head covered with snow.

 Sudden…

A strong fear surged from his heart, and his heart contracted suddenly, as if a thousand needles were stabbing him, making his whole body bend over in pain.

 The small stone statue in his arms fell to the ground.

 “Ah!” In an instant, Rong Che was sweating profusely.

 A thin stream of cold sweat breaks out on the body.

He held the small stone statue in his hand, but it was extremely hot to the touch. Panic spread in his heart, making him uneasy for no reason.

“Strange, why hasn’t he shown up today?” The deputy general followed Rong Che with a suspicious tone.

Rong Che held his chest with difficulty and hid the stone statue in his arms: "I want to go back."

The deputy general was stunned: "Hey, general, your home is over here!"

 The deputy general shouted loudly, but Rong Che ran away without looking back.

“Strange, General Rong would leave his post without permission?” He had followed Rong Che for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had seen Rong Che so panicked.

Rong Che galloped wildly, and the sound of horse hooves splashed snow all over the ground.

 He left enough guards for the Lu family, but he felt uneasy if he didn't see it with his own eyes.

 He couldn't bear any accidents about Yun Niang.

"Yun Niang!" Rong Che crossed half of the capital, and before the horse stopped, he galloped off the horse.

Before he entered the door, he felt an unprecedented panic.

General Zhenguo, whose expression remained unchanged even after Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, felt as if the blood in his body had solidified, and a chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the sky.

 He banged on the door like crazy.

Unexpectedly, with just a slight exertion, the door opened in response.

 The concierge fell limply to the ground.

Rong Che was breathing heavily, and he could clearly hear his heartbeat speeding up. At this moment he ran towards the backyard like crazy.

 At this time, he remembered everything in the dream.

 In the dream, Mr. Xu died on a snowy day.

 There was not even anyone to collect the corpses.

His eyes were red and he was holding back tears. He still looked like the general he once was.

 He was so stupid that he couldn't tell the difference between a dream and reality.

He walked through the courtyard and saw the maid who fell in the corridor and the guard whose throat was sealed with a sword, and felt extremely heavy in his heart.

 He stood staggeringly outside the courtyard.

 Fear, uneasiness, and despair almost overwhelmed him.

 A face as white as paper.

He stepped into the courtyard and his eyes narrowed.

 In the middle of the courtyard, a thinly dressed woman seemed to be frozen, sitting in the snow.

Hold a child tightly in your arms, completely enveloping the child in your arms.

She shrank, and there was a thick layer of snow hanging on her body, head, and eyelashes.

Rong Che’s heartbeat almost stopped.

 He approached quietly, fearing to disturb the two of them.

Yun Niang sang a lullaby intermittently, her mouth was white and purple, and she had been frozen to the point of numbness and unconsciousness.

Rong Che’s eyes were hot, and no one understood the fear in his heart.

 No one understood the surprise of his recovery.

He stepped forward and gently patted the snow off Yun Niang's shoulders. Yun Niang's whole body seemed to be frozen, her teeth were trembling, and she turned to look at him stiffly.

 The moment I saw him.

Tears fell in big drops.

 The hot tears brought a bit of heat to the cold skin.

Rong Che was heartbroken and picked her up gently: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

“I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you well.”

He easily picked up Xu and Lu Chaochao and walked towards the next door step by step.

 “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Leave everything to me.”

Rong Che was so frightened when he saw her that the tall and thick man became gentle and petty when he spoke, as softly as talking to a child.

Even, with a bit of a childlike voice.

 Rong Che did not alarm anyone. He took Mrs. Xu back to his bedroom, but Yun Niang refused to let go of the court.

Rong Che personally fetched hot water and went to get a change of clothes.

"Don't be afraid. If you and Chao Chao sit in the snow for a long time, your body and bones will easily develop diseases. I won't go out, I won't walk, I will sit outside the screen."

“You and Chaochao take a hot bath to avoid catching the cold.”

Rong Che had already prepared clothes for the Xu family in his house.

Even the cooks are good at cooking their favorite dishes.

 He never fights an unprepared battle.

 Xu just needs to turn around and leave the rest to him.

Xu's whole body was numb from the cold and she could no longer feel the cold. But when she left the warm embrace, she felt the biting cold.

 Rong Che is a gentleman.

 He covered his ears, squinted his eyes, and stood behind the screen with his back to her.

  The tense Mrs. Xu calmed down a little. While singing a lullaby to Chao Chao, she gently bathed Chao Chao to wash away the blood.

Lu Chaochao never opened his eyes from beginning to end, he seemed extremely tired.

Mrs. Xu put on her clothes, which fit her perfectly.

 She stepped out of the tub with her hair disheveled and placed the chai at the end of the bed.

Chao Chao murmured and grabbed the air with his little hands.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly held her hand and said, "Mother is here, and I will accompany Chaochao." Lu Chaochao then fell asleep peacefully.

Rong Che brought a towel out of nowhere.

He didn't say a word, just wiped her hair silently.

The candlelight was crackling, the heavy snow stopped unknown when, and the sky was faintly white.

Xu's brows were always furrowed. After wiping her hair dry, Rong Che said.

 “Go to sleep, I won’t leave, I’ll keep you awake.”

Mrs. Xu glanced at him and sat on the bedside without saying a word.

His eyebrows are lowered and his head is slightly lowered.

Rong Che clenched his fists. He was a gentleman and disdained the behavior of villains who took advantage of the situation.

 But he saw Mrs. Xu's tears falling.

How could he endure his sweetheart's appearance? He immediately hugged her shoulders gently, but that was all.

 His love for Mrs. Xu was mixed with the heaviness in the dream.

 To cherish too much, to love too much.

"Why did you come back? Why did you come back?!" Mrs. Xu suppressed her cry and clutched the corners of his clothes tightly.

 As proud as she was, in order to preserve the moment of the pilgrimage, she almost knelt on the ground and lost her dignity.

 She had never been so panicked.

 She was afraid of losing the court.

 Afraid that the hard-won happiness will be so short-lived.

"I'm sorry, it's me, it's my fault. I frightened you and scared you. I'll never do it again!" Rong Che's lips trembled slightly. How could he bear the pain of losing Yun Niang again?

 His admission of mistake made Xu cry without any scruples.

Rong Che was relieved when he saw her crying.

 Hold it up in your mind, which will harm your body.

Mrs. Xu didn’t know how long she had been crying. Her tense emotions relaxed and there was a reassuring atmosphere everywhere.

Leaning in Rong Che's arms, he cried himself to sleep without knowing it.

Rong Che placed her next to Chao Chao, tucked her in, and guarded the door politely.

At the same time, he ordered someone to deal with the affairs of the Lu family next door, and then ordered someone to return to the palace to report.

 The secret guards killed more than half of them.

 The guard in the house sealed his throat with a sword.

 This person is definitely not from Beizhao. Only the Southern Kingdom, the kingdom that serves the gods, has this ability.

 Perhaps he didn't notice the little maid, so he just knocked her unconscious and threw her on the spot. Statistics show that three people froze to death.

Rong Che was scared again, almost...
