The people living near the inn had fled in all directions as soon as the incident happened, so it was quiet and deserted at the moment, and the small path saved the trouble of clearing the area.
Hu Qingyun invited the prince and Zhou Zhiyuan to talk in the small courtyard he had booked in the inn.
"I have long heard that the Crown Prince is a rare talent. Today, I see that he is indeed a master of both civil and military affairs. I really admire him! To be honest, what happened to my daughter today is a shame for my family. Your Highness, please do not blame yourself. I am willing to repay your chivalry and generosity with all my strength!"
Hu Qingyun was from another country after all, so Song Ruiyang didn't want to discuss it in depth, so he changed the subject and asked the girl, "Miss Hu, did you see the person who saved you today?"
Miss Hu was different from the other delicate little girls. She had already stopped crying and was not afraid in front of Song Ruiyang.
"It was Fat Pig Brother who saved me. Including the last time at the riverside, Fat Pig Brother saved me twice."
Then she leaned into Hu Qingyun's arms again, and whispered in what she thought was a very quiet voice, "Dad, I like the particularly good-looking fat pig brother. When I grow up, I want to marry him!"
Liu Yue, who was eavesdropping under the women's wall with bated breath, almost laughed out loud when she heard this. The girl had vision and a promising future, and she liked my young lady instead of the guy named Song.
Everyone in the room laughed, except Song Ruiyang, who leaned forward to ask, "Who is the fat pig brother that Miss is talking about? Why do you call him a fat pig?"
"That day we just got off the boat in Beijing, I saw a strange big bird and secretly chased it, but the bird flew to a big tree and disappeared. I heard my brother say under the tree, 'Wolves want to eat fat pigs, and I, Liu Liuyun, am a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered and I can't stand that.' Then I fell into the river, and the fat pig brother jumped in and threw me ashore. My clothes were not even wet! The fat pig brother is handsome and powerful. Dad, can you find him and marry me?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was anxious when he heard this. How dare this weed snatch the prince's reputation? He hurriedly said, "The young lady must have been so frightened that she forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince risked his life to save her, and was even washed out of the city a hundred miles away. Fortunately, His Royal Highness was blessed with great fortune..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Ruiyang interrupted him with a frown, "Brother Zhiyuan, as long as the rescued people are safe and sound, it is perfect. Why should we be concerned about who lends a helping hand? Besides, what the young lady said is true!"
"Hey! This guy has some knowledge. What kind of person is he? On the one hand, he is merciless in exterminating my Cao Gang, but on the other hand, he bravely saves people many times without caring about his reputation. It's interesting!"
Hei Muzi smacked his lips and hadn't said anything yet, when Jin Yu suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Yue and shouted in a crying voice.
"Boss! The guy named Song is a bad guy! You got drunk at the banquet in the palace that day, and you have forgotten the words he slandered you in front of so many people when you woke up, but I remember them clearly!"
Liu Yue coughed and said, "Well, I was drunk. The wine and food in the palace are really good. They are better than the best restaurants in the city. I'll steal some when I get a chance."
Being interrupted by Liu Yue, Jin Yu looked at Hei Muzi aggrievedly. Liu Yue probably didn't want to mention the embarrassment that happened that day, but she had endured it for several days and really couldn't swallow it.
Hei Muzi understood and said to Liu Yue, "Boss, Donggong must have said something unusual. You see Jin Yu is so angry that she is about to cry. Why don't we listen to her? Then we can deal with it better."
"Okay, you say, you say, hehe~".
Liu Yue didn't take it seriously. She had heard a lot of unpleasant words in the past few years. What they said was nothing more than that it was unbecoming for a woman not to marry and take care of children, but to hang out with so many men all day long.
Jin Yu choked up and intermittently told the last accusation of Song Ruiyang that night. Liu Yue was furious after hearing it, "I will definitely eat that guy alive! How dare he slander my father like this!!"
