"Miss, it's the second young master, it's the second young master!" Liusu shouted excitedly while shaking Xie Nanjia's hand.
"Yes, it's him. I recognized him." Xie Nanjia nodded, appearing calm on the surface but surging with emotion inside.
Apart from Zhao Jingyu, there is no one else in the capital who is so arrogant.
This guy seems to be watching her all the time. Whenever she is in trouble, he always comes to rescue her first. Is he a savior
Zhao Jingyu stood on the roof of the car, his red clothes fluttering and his eyes cold. Wherever the arrow pointed, the people there retreated like the tide.
That’s right, this guy really dares to kill people. Even the emperor can’t do anything to him, let alone ordinary people like them. If they die under his arrows, there might not even be anyone to collect their bodies.
In an instant, the crowd retreated and order on the street returned to normal. People continued to carry the elderly and children to the north gate, as if the scene of watching the county lord create chaos had never happened.
The Su brothers breathed a sigh of relief, jumped off their horses, gathered in front of the carriage, and asked their two sisters if they were frightened.
Su Jincheng raised the curtain with a dark face and reprimanded Jinping County Lady: "As a young lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, how can you do such a frivolous thing? If something goes wrong, have you thought about the consequences?"
He had never been close to Princess Jinping from the beginning. In addition, she was usually taciturn and cold, so Princess Jinping had always been afraid of him. Now she was furious and her face was terribly gloomy. Princess Jinping was so scared that she shrank her neck and drooped her eyelashes, not daring to look directly at him. She hummed softly, "Brother, I know I was wrong..."
As he spoke, two crystal tears slid down his cheeks.
When the other brothers saw their sister crying, they immediately felt distressed and advised, "Forget it, forget it, nothing really happened anyway, don't blame your sister."
"Tsk tsk tsk, he can be forgiven for causing such a big disaster. Isn't his brother too unprincipled?" Zhao Jingyu sighed and jumped off the roof of the car. "If this was my sister, I would definitely teach her a lesson."
"What do you know? Sisters are meant to be loved." Although the Su brothers were very grateful to him for showing up in time to save them, they could not agree with his point of view. "You have many sisters in your family, so you can beat them if you want. Anyway, we don't beat them in our family."
"In that case, I am meddling in other people's business." Zhao Jingyu said with a smile.
Su Jincheng turned around and stopped the brothers behind him with his eyes, and clasped his fists to Zhao Jingyu and said, "My brother didn't mean what he said, please don't mind, Second Young Master. Thank you for helping me."
This is still a human thing to say. Zhao Jingyu thought to himself, laughed, and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a small favor, why thank you."
He didn't need any thanks, he just hoped that the Su brothers would give him a chance to accompany him and find a chance to meet Xiu'er.
He thought that since he had helped so much, the Su brothers should not refuse to go with him. However, after Su Jincheng was polite to him, he actually ordered the coachman and the brothers to turn around and go back home and not go to the north gate anymore.
Zhao Jingyu panicked immediately and stopped Su Jincheng and said, "Brother Su, we have come this far, isn't it a pity that we can't see the general?"
"It must be even more chaotic over there at the city gate. For the safety of our sisters, we'd better not go there. Please do as you please, Second Young Master Zhao!" Su Jincheng said.
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
Why should I ask for favors? I want to see Xiu'er, but you have gone home, how can I see her
Xie Nanjia did not expect Su Jincheng to ask everyone to go back home directly, but the chaos had just passed and Su Jincheng had the shadow of twelve years ago in his heart. She could not force him to continue to go to the north gate, so she had to let the carriage turn around and go back.
A good opportunity to meet was ruined by the ignorant behavior of Princess Jinping. She rolled her eyes at Princess Jinping who was still sobbing, lifted the curtain of the car and looked back. She saw Zhao Jingyu standing there in a red dress with a depressed expression. She sighed helplessly in her heart.
There is no way, plans cannot keep up with changes, so I can only think of other ways.
Zhao Jingyu watched the carriage go away with a lonely face, and threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground in frustration.
After he fell, he remembered the origin of the bow and arrow. He slapped his forehead and said in regret: "Look at my brain. I haven't told Su Jincheng that someone is plotting against me!"
The bow and arrow were not his. Someone had just taken advantage of the chaos to aim an arrow at the Su family's carriage. He discovered it in time and ordered Wei Jun and Huangfu to capture the man. He used the bow and arrow to jump onto the carriage and scare away the people.
At that time, he had no time to interrogate the other party about who the target was and whether he had accomplices. He just subconsciously did it for Xie Nanjia's safety.
Fortunately, he discovered it in time and dispersed the crowd in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Now, Xie Nanjia is safe and has been taken away by a group of brothers. He has been looking forward to it for the past two days, but it was all in vain.
"Oh!" He sighed, smacked his lips helplessly, and ordered Wei Jun Huangfu to take the man back to the west wing for interrogation.
He didn't go to the North Gate either.
Without the sleeves, what's the point of going
The carriage swayed as it moved back. Xie Nanjia leaned against the wall resignedly with her eyes closed. Princess Jinping stopped sobbing and glanced at her with resentment.
This damn girl is so lucky. She risked her dignity to draw people's attention to herself, just to create an opportunity for the people who were arranged in advance to take action. Unexpectedly, she was ruined by Zhao Jingyu at the critical moment.
It was Zhao Jingyu outside the South City Gate last time, and it was Zhao Jingyu again this time. Damn guy, does he think he is the savior? He does nothing all day long and is just busy saving people. And the person he saves is the same person. Is this a coincidence or deliberate protection? Has his plan been discovered by him
That's not possible
He is not a god, how can he predict everything so accurately
It must be a coincidence, it must be a coincidence.
While comforting herself, Princess Jinping was thinking about how she would deal with her mother's accountability when she returned home. If it was any other matter, it would be fine, but such an embarrassing matter could not be gotten over by crying and acting like a spoiled child.
It's so annoying, it's all this damn girl's fault! She couldn't help but glare at Xie Nanjia angrily, wishing she could stick a hairpin into her throat and put an end to it all.
"Why does the county lady always stare at our young lady like this? It's scary." Liusu noticed that her eyes were not right and questioned her bluntly.
Xie Nanjia opened his eyes when he heard the voice.
"How could I?" Princess Jinping turned away and said unhappily, "Where have you learned the rules? How dare you question the master so casually?"
"My master is the Second Young Lady, not you." Liusu said disdainfully.
"How dare you! Is the Second Miss more powerful than the County Lady? You slut are too arrogant! I will report to my Madam when I get back and have her punish you!" Caidie spoke up to defend her master.
Liusu sneered: "Madam, if you want to punish someone, you should punish the county lady. This disaster today was not caused by me."
"You..." Caidie couldn't argue with her and was so angry that she raised her hand to slap her.
"Just try and see if you dare to touch her!" Xie Nanjia said coldly.
Caidie was frightened and hesitated for a long time with her palm raised in the air, but finally did not dare to bring it down.
When they returned to the mansion, the servants who had gone ahead had already come back and told them the general situation. Sheng Qingyun was waiting outside the mansion gate with a group of people, feeling anxious.
Su Jincheng got off the horse and apologized to his mother, saying that he had failed to protect his sister and failed to handle the emergency properly, and asked his mother to punish him.
The rest of the brothers also followed suit, looking dejected and apologizing, filled with deep regret.
Sheng Qingyun was already thankful that the person could return safely. He did not care to find out who was responsible. He immediately grabbed Xie Nanjia's hand and asked her if she was frightened.
Princess Jinping was standing nearby, and seeing her mother only concerned with asking about Xiu'er without even looking at her, she felt sad and confused, fearing that she would lose her mother's love from now on.
If the task is not accomplished and the emperor loses favor because of it, it would be like losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken, and losing both the wife and the army.
After confirming that his daughter was safe, Sheng Qingyun took a dozen brothers and sisters to see the old lady.
The old lady heard the news and was anxiously waiting for them. The ladies from the other three rooms also rushed over after hearing the news.
Princess Jinping knew that she would not escape punishment today. As soon as she entered the house, she knelt down at the old lady's feet and admitted her fault to her grandmother in tears: "It's all my fault that I have never seen the world. I saw that the people were very simple and enthusiastic, so I wanted to say hello to them. I didn't expect to cause such a mess. My whole family is embarrassed because of me. Please punish me severely!"
There was a thud sound behind them, and more than a dozen brothers knelt down, expressing their willingness to be punished together with their sister.
The old lady had a gloomy face. No matter how much she valued Princess Jinping, she couldn't help but feel angry. She scolded, "You've embarrassed more than just our family. Don't forget that you're the future Crown Princess. I'm afraid you've also embarrassed the palace. If the Empress heard that you did such a frivolous thing in the street, what would she think of you? Have you ever thought about it?"
Princess Jinping really didn't think of this at first. When the old lady reminded her of this, she turned pale with fright. The Queen Mother was already quite dissatisfied with the Duke's Mansion because of her and Xiu'er's true and false identities. Would she take this opportunity to cancel her marriage with the Prince
If this is true, without her status as the Crown Princess, what qualifications does she have to stay in the Duke's Mansion? She will probably be expelled from the mansion as soon as the engagement is cancelled.
No, it can't be like this. I have worked so hard to obtain this honor, and I cannot just watch it being destroyed.
"Grandma!" She went forward and hugged the old lady's legs and cried loudly, crying her heart out, "Grandma, I didn't mean it, Grandma, save me, save me..."
The old lady sighed and said, "I know you didn't mean it..."
"Grandma wasn't there, so how do you know that my sister didn't do it on purpose?" Xie Nanjia suddenly said, "I tried to persuade my sister, but she didn't listen. She even told me about the story of throwing fruits into the carriage. I was the one who offended my sister and finally brought her back. My sister and Caidie scolded me harshly for this."
"..." Princess Jinping stopped crying immediately and looked at Caidie in panic.
