Tu Feibai said nothing, just staring at her. Yu Yi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and pleaded: “Let A Ju stop the bleeding for the madam first.”
“Tu Feibai looked at Yu Yi intently, ignoring Ding Jingman on the floor: “Why did you run away before?”
Yu Yi was stunned, lowering her head to avoid his intense gaze: “A Ju is just a maid. The commander won’t truly marry A Ju.”
“You didn’t believe I truly loved you, so you ran?” Tu Feibai pulled her close, embracing her waist, his voice filled with deep emotion, “But you came back when I was in trouble.”
Yu Yi nodded.
Tu Feibai whispered: “A Ju, look at me.” When she kept her head down, he forced her chin up, about to kiss her.
Yu Yi forced herself to endure, knowing she needed to make Tu Feibai believe her. But the thought of this man trying to kiss her while his third concubine lay bleeding on the floor was unbearable. She summoned all her strength to break free, shouting, “No!”
Tu Feibai was caught off guard, stumbling back and his face darkening. No one had dared to defy him like this, especially not a woman.
Yu Yi pointed at Ding Jingman angrily: “She’s almost dead, how could you…”
Before she could finish, Tu Feibai strode forward and forcefully pushed her onto the bed, then pressed down on her.
At this point, Yu Yi could no longer hide her martial skills. With her right arm pinned, she struck Tu Feibai’s jaw with her left fist, causing his head to turn, though his large, strong body still pressed her down.
Disoriented by her punch, Tu Feibai suddenly realized she was no ordinary maid.”
Killing intent arose in his heart, and he quickly drew and cocked his gun to shoot her. Yu Yi desperately knocked his gun-wielding hand away.
The bullet hit the pillow, sending white feathers flying everywhere.
Blinded by the feathers, Yu Yi heard the gun being cocked again. Fearing another shot, she grabbed a cutting tool, turned it on, and stabbed at Tu Feibai like a dagger.
Tu Feibai grunted briefly and fell to the side. Yu Yi pushed him off, quickly disarming him and pointing the gun to prevent further attack.
