Chapter 298: Secret Visitors
Listening to Duan Yixin’s words, Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly. He asked, "Xin’er, how do you know?"
Duan Yixin hesitated for a moment and explained, "Actually, my five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, especially the sense of smell and taste. Just now, I smelled a strong smell of blood approaching this mansion. I think you should know this since they could be assassins."
When Xuan Ruiquan learned about this, he thought, ’No wonder someone came to her house to kill me in the previous life, and she knew it. It turns out that even when we were strangers, Xin’er always went out of her way to protect me.’
Recalling their past, Xuan Ruiquan’s eyes became gentler. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the oil stains on the corners of her lips with his thumb and said, "I will go check it out. You stay and don’t leave this place."
Duan Yixin nodded, and then Xuan Ruiquan looked at the maidservants and said, "Protect her well."
The maidservants bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Wangye."
After giving the order, Xuan Ruiquan smiled at Duan Yixin and then left the dining room. Seeing that he had left, Duan Yixin looked at the six maidservants curiously. Judging from what Xuan Ruiquan just said, these maidservants are not ordinary servants.
When she smelled the faint smell of blood on their bodies yesterday, Duan Yixin didn’t think much about it because everyone in this mansion had the smell of blood to varying degrees on their bodies.
At first, she thought it was because they worked with Xuan Ruiquan, so the smell of blood from Xuan Ruiquan’s body might stain their clothes. But now, Duan Yixin thinks her guess might be completely wrong.
