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."
