At the same time, he was surrounded by beauties on both sides. If it weren't for annoying guys like Song Mo disturbing his enjoyment, this situation would be the perfect time to enjoy the fragrance and embrace the beauty!
"Alright, alright! It's all over! Everything's resolved!" Wei Tingyu pursed his lips and patted the two girls' trembling backs to comfort them.
Sure enough, his comforting words were very effective. Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu calmed down quickly after feeling their husband's reassurance, and their previously flustered breathing returned to normal.
“It’s not that we’re cruel! They wanted to slaughter us first, and we had no choice but to do it to protect ourselves!” Wei Tingyu knew that the two women were kind-hearted, and Miao Ansu was particularly timid. If they couldn’t get out of this hurdle, they might have nightmares in the future.
Song Mo and those guys deserved to die; he didn't care how they died!
However, he absolutely had to take good care of his wives and concubines! If they were kept awake at night and constantly having nightmares, that would be a dereliction of duty on his part as a husband!
"Yes! We're not afraid!" Dou Zhao nodded upon hearing this; she knew Wei Tingyu was telling the truth. In the current situation, if you don't kill him, he'll kill you; there's really no third option!
“Your Excellency is right!” Miao Ansu nodded, then said, “But this scene is too terrifying, I don’t want to see it!”
That's true!
Knowing that someone is going to kill is different from witnessing someone being killed!
Wei Tingyu nodded, knowing that Miao Ansu was right, and said, "Zhao'er and Susu, go and rest first. I will come to keep you company later!"
"Yes!" Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words.
Of course, they also knew that Song Mo, whose arms had been severed, had no chance of survival!

Chapter 53 A Gentle Haven Away from the Bloodshed!
"Madam..." Seeing that all his men were dead, and only he, with his severed arm, was still alive in Langting, Song Mo's legs went weak and he knelt down with a thud.
"Please...have mercy...give me...a way out..." At this moment, Song Mo truly felt the fear of impending death! Under the combined influence of pain and terror, his teeth began to chatter as he spoke.
Zhao Zhangru did not answer him, but instead turned to look at the window on the second floor in the distance.
Wei Tingyu, who had been enjoying himself, had stood up, while Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu had disappeared.
Zhao Zhangru knew that her two sisters couldn't bear to see such horrific scenes; they must have closed their eyes when Yan Chaoqing and Song Mo's two subordinates died.
Now that he sees his best friend actually about to kill someone, he certainly wouldn't dare to witness this scene!
To be honest, Zhao Zhangru was also a little uneasy at this moment. It was the first time for her to have killed someone with her own hands.
However, she knew that if she wanted to become the Marquis's right-hand woman in the future, she had to overcome her fear! She was no match for Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu in matters of the inner quarters and in making money, and therefore could not help the Marquis.
Then we can only fight harder and put in more physical effort!
When Wei Tingyu saw Zhao Zhangru looking at him, he immediately raised his right hand and made a slashing gesture in the air.
“Young Master Mei… no! I should call you Your Highness!” Zhao Zhangru nodded upon receiving the order, took a deep breath, then stepped forward and placed his knife against Song Mo’s neck, looking down at him and saying, “Do you want to live?”
“…Yes!” Song Mo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
Of course he wanted to live. Even ants try to survive, let alone him.
“But His Highness ordered the massacre of the manor with such decisiveness and without hesitation!” Zhao Zhangru sneered, looking at Song Mo’s desperate eyes, and said, “I’m afraid you’ve done this kind of thing quite a few times before!”
"In order to protect the secrets of your Dingguo Army, countless innocent souls have died under your swords!"
"You're saying you want to live now?" Zhao Zhangru's expression grew increasingly cold as he looked at Song Mo, who was now like an ant, his eyes filled with disdain!
After receiving the order from their lord to massacre the village and kill women and children, these soldiers of the Dingguo Army did not hesitate for a moment... Now that I think about it, aren't all those rumors about loving the people and protecting the country and its people just nonsense?
"..." Hearing Zhao Zhangru's stern questioning, Song Mo, whose consciousness was already somewhat blurred due to blood loss, still managed to raise his head and look at the woman in front of him. Under the sudden flash of lightning, she had seemingly snatched his life away like the Grim Reaper!
Song Mo simply couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, Wei Tingyu was also from a wealthy and noble family, so his wives and concubines should naturally be nobles as well! Why would these nobles speak up for those insignificant commoners?
Those common people's lives are so cheap; killing them to preserve the secrets of the Dingguo Army is their glory!
"Can't figure it out?" Zhao Zhangru looked at Song Mo kneeling in front of her and snorted coldly before raising her hand and bringing down her knife. She knew that arguing with this guy was pointless.
If you can't figure it out, go ask the King of Hell!
Whoosh! Thump!
With two soft thuds, Song Mo's head flew high into the air and rolled into the heavy rain outside the covered bridge. His unclosed eyes stared for three or four seconds before slowly closing.
Then its headless body slumped to the ground like a wad of cotton.
"Hoo!" Upon seeing the scene before him, a flicker of fear flashed in Zhao Zhangru's eyes! But in an instant, it was replaced by resolute determination!
This was the first time she had ever killed someone, and the feeling made her heart pound! But for some reason, the fear she had felt earlier vanished in an instant!
The sound of footsteps sounded softly behind him. Zhao Zhangru turned around and saw Wei Tingyu slowly walking out of the shadows.
"Lord Marquis!" As soon as Zhao Zhangru saw Wei Tingyu appear, he threw down his twin swords without saying a word and rushed into his arms.
"Alright! It's alright now!" Wei Tingyu gently patted the back of his concubine in his arms. He felt that her body was still trembling slightly, so he immediately comforted her.
"My lord... I'm a little scared!" Zhao Zhangru closed her eyes and rested her head on Wei Tingyu's chest. Only by hearing his strong and powerful heartbeat could her original tension gradually subside.
"It's alright!" Wei Tingyu chuckled and continued to comfort him, "This wicked man wanted to slaughter everyone in our village, not even sparing the old, weak, women, and children! Killing him was just doing justice for the people and eliminating a scourge!"
"No! I'm not afraid of killing!" However, Zhao Zhangru quickly shook her head and said, "What I'm afraid of is... feeling happy and joyful after killing someone... Am I a bad woman?"
"How could that be?" Upon hearing Zhao Zhangru's explanation, Wei Tingyu immediately realized that the girl was frightened by her own psychological changes.
He gently shook his head, then cupped the smiling face still nestled in his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and said, "You're happy because we've eliminated a great demon!"
"He not only avenged those who died unjustly, but also prevented more innocent people from dying under his knife in the future!"
"So you're still that chivalrous Zhao! Upholding justice and helping the weak! Of course you'll be happy!"
"That's right!" Zhao Zhangru was taken aback when he heard Wei Tingyu's words, but then he realized what was going on. He thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true!
When I killed Song Mo, all I could think about was doing justice for heaven, not the thrill of killing! So, does that mean I'm really born to be a female knight-errant?
Upon realizing this, Zhao Zhangru immediately felt much more relaxed, and then slowly took Wei Tingyu's arm, transforming back into a demure young woman.
Seeing this, Wei Tingyu didn't laugh at her, but instead gestured to the Silver Shadow Guards standing in the rain.
The Silver Shadow Guards immediately nodded and then began cleaning up the battlefield.
After all, we can't leave these severed limbs and broken bodies on the ground here forever.
……
Just as Wei Tingyu was leading Zhao Zhangru back to the main house, he discovered that Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu were not resting in their respective rooms, but were chatting away together on his large bed.
This was not at all unexpected for Wei Tingyu, because the reason was simple: after tonight's events, the two women would definitely be a little scared, and it was normal for them not to dare to go to sleep alone.
Looking at Zhao Zhangru next to her, the girl had clearly realized something, and her face turned bright red.
You should know that this kind of look is rarely seen on Zhao's face!
When Wei Tingyu saw three pairs of beautiful eyes all looking at him, he felt as if the temperature around him had suddenly risen a few degrees.
"Alright!" In this situation, he naturally wouldn't hesitate any longer. He picked up Zhao Zhangru in his arms and carried him towards the bed.
It's just tough on my back; I'm sure I'll have to work hard tonight...
……
Half an hour later, a group of men dressed in straw raincoats, bamboo hats, and plain clothes, carrying swords, arrived outside the manor and knocked on the manor gate once again.
"Master Tan!" Su Xin and Su Lan handed the baby brought by Song Mo to the newcomer, and said at the same time, "This orphan of the Duke of Dingguo is now entrusted to you all. From now on, there will be no more Dingguo Army, nor will there be any more Duke of Dingguo!"
“Then the young master…” Master Tan was stunned. He had originally received news that he was to come and meet Song Mo, who was carrying the orphan of the Duke of Dingguo, but when he arrived here, he did not see Song Mo and the others, only this baby.
"The tide has turned, and there's no turning back!" Su Xin and Su Lan looked at Master Tan and said, "From now on, Master Tan will never hear anything about the Dingguo Army or the Crown Prince again!"
"I understand! This child will be an ordinary person in the future and will not know anything about his origins!" Seeing that the other party had already explained things to this extent, Master Tan nodded. He had only come to repay a debt of gratitude and wouldn't think about anything else!
He immediately assumed it was Song Mo's arrangement, so he took the baby, led everyone around, turned and stepped into the heavy rain, disappearing into the vast night!
"Whether this child lives or dies, and what his fate is, is up to his own destiny. It has nothing to do with us!" Su Xin then ordered the servants beside her to close the door, and then looked at Su Lan and said.
“This is the safest way to handle it! After all, the Marquis is not as cruel as Song Mo, who would even kill the baby in the swaddling clothes!” Su Lan nodded, and at this moment, Wei Tingyu’s figure became even taller in their hearts.
Unfortunately, they knew that they were merely maids accompanying Dou Zhao in her dowry, and their martial arts skills were weak, so how could they possibly catch the eye of the Marquis?
Otherwise, like Aunt Miao or Aunt Zhao, being able to rise to become the Marquis's bedmate would be a life well-lived!
These twin sisters were quite in sync, their thoughts seemingly aligned! At that moment, the two women simultaneously looked up at each other and instantly understood!
It turns out my older sister (younger sister) was thinking the same thing as me!
"elder sister……"
"Don't say it!" The two sisters blushed at the same time, and then almost simultaneously covered each other's mouths with their hands.
You can't say that! As long as you don't say it, you can continue to deceive yourself!
But as they both looked up at the window of the main house on the second floor, they saw that the candlelight had also gone out at the same time, and a sense of melancholy rose in their hearts.
That room is a place that the two sisters can only dream of now!
……
The next morning, Zhao Zhangru, without even having time to wash and dress, flung open the window with a snap, and a cool breeze carrying the scent of grass and earth rushed into her nostrils.
"Ah! The air is so fresh after the rain!" Zhao Zhangru, who had been cooped up indoors all night, took two deep breaths and then clapped his hands happily as he looked at the lush greenery in the distance.
From her perspective, the distant green mountains and trees were naturally breathtaking! Even the floor of the courtyard below had been washed clean by last night's torrential rain, leaving no trace of blood!
As for the corpses, the Silver Shadow Guards have certainly disposed of them properly! After all, buried in this deep mountain forest, no one would know that the once renowned General of the Dingguo Army, the heir of the Duke's Mansion, Song Mo, and his loyal subordinates were buried here!
