Bab 315: Chapter 215: Protecting His Own Woman

Xin He paused before saying, "I'm not concerned about the fate of the Shen family. I fear that someone might harm you."

Her words struck a chord in Mu Houchu's heart, kindling a sense of warmth. It had never occurred to him that she would regard him as that significant.

Mu Houchu curled his lips, touched her head and said, "I won't let anyone harm me, because I still have to protect you."

"The stains of an assassination attempt cast on me by Concubine Shen is a major crime and one cannot escape the death sentence if found guilty. The whole matter came on so unexpectedly, and I didn't have the chance to think it through, but something about it seems amiss. After all, even if Concubine Shen is self-interested, she didn't have to stake her life on the line! Her stab aimed straight for my heart, clearly demonstrating her intent to die."
