In the morning, the child heard from an auntie in the village that the rapist had been caught. He ran all morning to see what was going on. He didn't expect that the rapist would really be caught. The heavens had really opened their eyes and helped his sister take revenge.
Someone in the crowd shouted," Smash the rapist to death.”Then, eggs and vegetables were thrown at the rapist.
"Smash him to death, smash him to death." Someone in the crowd kept shouting and throwing everything in their hands.
The rapist's body was covered in vegetables and eggs, and his hair was messy. This form became the brightest scenery on the street as the crowd vented their anger. The child just threw a big rock at the rapist's head with great force. As the stone fell, blood flowed down. The corners of the rapist's eyes were dyed red. The child's hatred for him was so strong that he wanted him dead. His ears suddenly echoed," I will make you lose face to be a rapist.”
The rapist gritted his teeth and glared at the child. He had really miscalculated. He did not expect to be dealt with like this.
But he couldn't kill the rapist. Otherwise, he would be arrested and thrown into prison. His mother would have no one to take care of her, and he was the only one she could rely on. But he couldn't let the rapist get away with it.
The rapist's eyes were spitting fire, and the fire surrounded the little boy. If it wasn't for the fact that his body was weak, he wouldn't have been able to break free from this small hemp rope and would have been ridiculed and humiliated like this.
The child was not afraid that he would glare back at the rapist if he saw him glare back. She raised her little face arrogantly, with an expression that said,"What can you do to me?"
"Move aside, move aside." A group of bailiffs pushed through the crowd and appeared on the street. The crowd immediately made way for them. They couldn't afford to offend these people from the government. Even a small government runner didn't care about them.
"Bring him back to the yamen and lock him in prison.”The leader ordered the bailiffs behind him.
Two bailiffs stepped forward and released the rope, escorting the rapist to the yamen. This farce was also over. In the next few days, the hot topic in the town was about the rapist. Everyone was speculating who had subdued the rapist.
Mo Shangqiu went out to look for some edible fruits and ate them before walking out of the forest. Ye Wushang's injuries had recovered a little, and there was no longer any problem with him walking. However, his walking speed was clearly very slow. Mo Shangqiu had deliberately slowed down. The first time they met, he was also seriously injured. The second time they met, it was the same.
Mo Shangqiu couldn't help but find it funny. Could it be that she had become the benefactor of his life? As Mo Shangqiu had thought, she was indeed Ye Wushang's lucky star. When she mentioned her again many years later, Ye Wushang's smile became even brighter.
Mo Shangqiu retrieved her horse and told Ye Wushang to hide in the forest. When she came back to find him, Ye Wushang did not force her. After all, his injuries could not help Mo Shangqiu. Instead, he would become a burden to her and drag her down.
Mo Shangqiu had been gone for two hours. When she rushed back, she was sitting in the carriage and driving the horse leisurely.
"Young Master Ye." Mo Shangqiu called out to the deserted forest. A white figure appeared in front of Mo Shangqiu. The color of his blood had recovered a lot, and he did not look so haggard. Mo Shangqiu's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile.
"Get in the car." Mo Shangqiu said to Ye Wushang with a smile. Seeing that he was safe and sound, the worry in the depths of her heart lessened a lot.
" Mm." Ye Wushang carefully climbed into the carriage. Mo Shangqiu was afraid that he would use too much strength and supported him. Ye Wushang was slightly stunned, but he didn't care about the etiquette. However, the smile in his eyes betrayed his emotions when he entered the carriage.
Mo Shangqiu asked as the carriage moved slowly. "Is Young Master Ye from Xuan Lin Country?”
Ye Wushang, who was in the carriage, was stunned. Mo Shangqiu had intentionally distanced herself from them. When Mo Shangqiu saw that there was no reply from outside the carriage, she thought that Ye Wushang had fallen asleep.
"Yes, you can call me Wushang.”Ye Wushang thought for a while before answering her.
She thought that Ye Wushang had fallen asleep, but she did not expect his voice to ring out again. Along the way, Mo Shangqiu had only asked Ye Wushang a single question, and the two of them had not spoken after that. Ye Wushang did not hear Mo Shangqiu's words in the carriage. Feeling bored, he slowly fell asleep.
As Mo Shangqiu drove the horse carriage, she kept wondering if she should go to the place where her mother used to stay when she went to Xuanlin Country. He frowned and looked conflicted. He couldn't help but comfort her.
The carriage moved slowly, and the sky gradually darkened. The sunlight was getting more and more dazzling, and it felt scorching when it hit his body.
Mu Chuxue and Hongye also bid farewell to the auntie and rented a carriage back to Xuanlin Country. Mu Chuxue knew that Mo Shangqiu was leaving Xuanlin Country, so she followed Hongye.
Mo Shangqiu drove the carriage into the city." Wushang, where should I send you?”
"I'll get off here. I'll go back to the residence myself later.”Ye Wushang stuck his head out and jumped off the carriage after he finished speaking to Mo Shangqiu.
"I think Xue 'er is with your friend. If you see her, please help me take care of her for a few days.”Mo Shangqiu's eyes flickered. She was not worried that Ye Wushang would reject her.
"Alright, if you need anything, come to the Ye residence and look for me. Remember to look for the Second Young Master.”Ye Wushang nodded in agreement to Mo Shangqiu's request before turning around and leaving.
Mo Shangqiu looked at his departing back and a hint of loneliness flashed across her face. She shook her head to chase this feeling away. Mo Shangqiu then continued on her journey. Along the way, she randomly found someone to ask for directions to the Chen Manor. Mo Shangqiu did not spend much effort to arrive at the Chen Residence after receiving the answer.
Mo Shangqiu jumped down from the carriage and walked towards the Chen Manor's main entrance. The servant blocked her way.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Chen Manor?" The servant's condescending manner made Mo Shangqiu feel disgusted.
Mo Shangqiu kicked the servant away and swaggered into the Chen Manor. Seeing this, another servant wanted to block her way. His hand did not even touch the hem of her clothes when Mo Shangqiu grabbed his neck. The servant died as soon as he exerted force with his fingers. Mo Shangqiu shook off his servant, his expression dark and terrifying. These people might have bullied her mother before. She wanted to avenge her mother.
The servant who had been kicked trembled in fear. The Eldest Mistress of the Chen Manor was rushing over from afar. Mo Shangqiu said sternly.
"Where did this wild girl come from? How dare she behave atrociously in the Chen Manor?”
Mo Shangqiu's cold eyes swept over, scaring Liu Ruoruo so much that she felt suffocated for a moment. However, she quickly recovered and her expression was ruthless. "Men, chase him out."
"You're that bitch Liu Ruoruo.”Mo Shangqiu exuded a cold aura, and killing intent appeared in her eyes. Liu Ruoruo suddenly felt the temperature around her drop, and a chill ran down her spine.
"How dare you hide Furen's name.”The maid who was supporting Liu Ruoruo raised her hand arrogantly, wanting to slap Mo Shangqiu.
Mo Shangqiu grabbed her hand and gave her a backhand slap. He looked disdainful. "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch me?”
"Madam." The maid was slapped hard, and Liu Ruoruo was so angry that she lost her dignity.
"Who are you?" Liu Ruoruo scolded Mo Shangqiu without changing her expression.
Before Liu Ruoruo could react, five fingerprints appeared on her face. Her face instantly turned red and swollen.
"You have no right to know who I am.”Mo Shangqiu flung her sleeves and acted even more arrogantly, not putting anyone in her eyes.
Liu Ruoruo had no way to deal with Mo Shangqiu, so she called the servants out of the residence to invite Chen Shuheng back to the residence. Today, Chen Shu Heng had just been promoted to Duke of the State because he had presented a beauty to the Emperor. When the emperor was happy, he would give him the title of Duke.
At this moment, Chen Shuheng was drinking with a few ministers in the court. Tomorrow, the plaque would be hung up and it would become the Public House. If they didn't curry favor now, when would they? The ministers discussed. He invited Chen Shu Heng to drink at Yue Yang Tower. Chen Shu Heng knew that they wanted to curry favor with him, so he did not decline.
The servant ran a few streets and was so tired that he finally reached Yue Yang Tower. He lay in front of the gate of Yue Yang Tower and panted heavily. After resting for a while and adjusting his breathing, he stepped into Yue Yang Tower.
"Duke of Chen, let me toast you." The man who spoke was in his 30s or 40s and had a few wrinkles on his face. He said respectfully to Chen Shuheng.
"Hey, Lord Zhang, please." Chen Shuheng had a peaceful expression on his face as he stared at Zhang Rui, who was toasting him.
Everyone in the court knew that Zhang Rui was not a good official. There was nothing he would not do for corruption and bribery. The reason why he was sucking up to Chen Shuheng here was nothing more than to have a bigger backer.
"Duke, please enjoy your meal." Beside Zhang Rui sat a man of the same age. He was dressed in green and had a scholarly aura. He was a sixth-rank civil official, but he was also sucking up to Zhang Rui. They had all become bootlickers.
Chen Shuheng picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat when there was a knock on the door.
"Master, Furen invites you to return to the residence.”The servant's voice sounded on time, interrupting Chen Shuheng and the others 'gathering.
Chen Shu Heng stood up and cupped his hands." Milords, I have something to do at home. I will take my leave."”
Zhang Rui and the others also stood up and cupped their hands. "State Duke, please get busy first. We'll meet again another day.”
"Good, good, good." Chen Shu Heng repeatedly agreed and no longer declined. He lifted his clothes and walked past Zhang Rui.
Zhang Rui and the others sent Chen Shuheng out of Yue Yang Tower and back to the private room. After closing the door, Zhang Rui's expression immediately changed.
"Didn't you rely on marrying the Prime Minister's daughter to climb to your current position step by step?”
"Brother Xu, don't say that. Be careful that the walls have ears.”Zhang Rui reminded Xu Wen that this was indeed the sixth-rank civil official. He looked aloof from worldly affairs, but he was actually ambitious.
The two of them sat down and drank some wine. After chatting for a while, they returned to their respective residences.
Chen Shuheng rushed to the Chen residence in anger. In the past, he was afraid of Liu Ruoruo, but it didn't mean that he would be restrained by her in the future. It had better be something big or else he wouldn't let Liu Ruoruo off. Today, he would tell her that he, Chen Shuheng, would be the one in charge of the family from now on.
The servant followed behind and saw their master's gloomy face. He didn't dare to breathe too loudly and followed behind obediently.
They didn't dare to mention what happened in the manor. If they angered their master, who knew what kind of punishment he would receive? His life was more important.
Chen Shuheng had just stepped into the house when Liu Ruoruo threw herself into his arms and cried.
Mo Shangqiu looked coldly at Liu Ruoruo. What a b * tch who knew how to act. She felt disgusted and carefully looked at the man who was holding Liu Ruoruo.
