Chapter 76 I Regret Being a Dog

Meng Zhiye walked up, looked at Princess Xiangning, and softened his voice.

"The princess is magnanimous and spared Miss Jiang and Miss Chenyu this time..."

Before she could finish her words, Princess Xiang Ning interrupted her sharply, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of talking to me?"

Meng Zhiye is gentle and timid.

She mustered up the courage to stand up, intending to say something good for Jiang Yueyao, but unexpectedly, Princess Xiangning didn't even glance at her, and the words she said were extremely unpleasant.

Meng Zhiye's pink lips trembled, and crystal tears instantly filled her eyes. Her fair face turned red and white, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her sister being humiliated, Meng Zhixia hurriedly said, "Why are you so mean to my sister?"

"Heh..." Princess Xiang Ning glanced at her, reached out, and grabbed her neck. "You little bastard, you're not worthy enough to talk to me!"

This scene happened too suddenly.

No one expected that she would actually take action.

Jiang Yueyao was closest to her and was the first to react. She didn't have time to think about it and reached out to push Princess Xiangning.

But someone was quicker than her.

He pounced directly and knocked Princess Xiangning to the ground.

Then, Chenyu's hand grabbed her neck.

When the maids and servants nearby saw this, they were shocked.

"Princess, Princess... This is a rebellion against heaven... Someone is trying to murder the royal family..."

"Someone, come, come quickly."

The whole lobby was in chaos.

Jiang Yueyao wanted to go up and pull Chenyu up, but someone pushed her and she fell to the ground.

Screams, shouts, roars... For a moment, Jiang Yueyao really wanted to close her eyes and die.

At this chaotic moment, a loud shout was heard.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

The other party's voice sounded familiar. Jiang Yueyao looked up and first saw Xiaoxi who was running towards her, and then saw Duan Yanzhou in official uniform.

The moment she saw him, her tense nerves relaxed a little. She quickly got up from the ground and went to pull Chenyu.

But Chenyu still held Princess Xiangning's neck tightly and refused to let go.

"I will kill you today!"

"She is so beautiful that she can make fish sink..." Jiang Yueyao was frightened and rushed over to pull her, but she couldn't pull her away no matter what.

At this moment, Chenyu seemed to be mad with anger, her eyes were red, and she looked like she wanted to strangle Princess Xiangning to death.

Duan Yanzhou walked over and tapped Chenyu's wrist with the hilt of the sword in his hand. The next moment, Chenyu's hand loosened.

Princess Xiangning lay on the ground, motionless, as if dead.

Everyone was terrified.

Jiang Yueyao's legs felt weak.

"Duan... Lord Duan... what should we do?"

Before he could finish his words, a group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded everyone.

Duan Yanzhou looked at the man in the lead and frowned.

"Master Yu?"

The person who came was Yu Chong, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

He bowed to Duan Yanzhou and continued, "I am here to arrest someone on the orders of Lord Hu."

"Catch someone? Who?"

"The Jingzhao government received a report that someone was assaulting the royal family here." He glanced at Jiang Yueyao and Chenyu, "These two are the criminals. Lord Hu has ordered them to be taken away immediately."

Duan Yanzhou's face darkened. "You want to arrest someone without any evidence? Is this how Jingzhao Prefecture handles cases?"

"Didn't Lord Duan see that the princess was unconscious?" Yu Chong looked at Princess Xiangning lying motionless on the ground.

A maid knelt beside them and cried, "The princess was hit by the neck by this scoundrel and has passed out. What can we do? The prince has always loved the princess the most. Don't even think about running away."

"I didn't use any harsh force at all, she was just pretending." Chenyu looked impatient.

"You are such a rude and unruly person! First you assaulted the princess of the royal family, and then you started talking nonsense! Come, tie him up and take him to the government office."

Duan Yanzhou wanted to stop him again, but Yu Chong said hurriedly, "This matter concerns Prince An's Mansion. I advise Lord Duan not to interfere."

Duan Yanzhou ignored him, but walked up to Jiang Yueyao and whispered a few words.

"Princess Xiang Ning pretended to be dead, and now she can't explain herself."

"You two follow them first, I will find someone to rescue you as soon as possible."

"Be careful not to get into conflict with the government again, or you'll be guilty of a more serious crime, and I won't be able to save you then."

With his words, Jiang Yueyao's uneasy heart calmed down.

She nodded, pulled Chenyu, who was as stubborn as a bull, and followed the officials.

As soon as the officials left, Princess Xiangning, who was lying motionless on the ground, had her eyelids trembled and she finally woke up slowly.

When everyone saw this, they all smiled mockingly.

Duan Yanzhou was even more ruthless.

"I was planning to call a doctor to see the princess, but I haven't even hired one yet. How come you woke up?"

Princess Xiangning glanced at him and stood up with the help of a maid.

She adjusted her crooked bun and raised her eyebrows.

"This princess advises Lord Duan to stop meddling in other people's business."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and led everyone away.

Meng Zhixia burst into tears.

"Sister, what should we do? Sister Jiang has been taken away. We must find a way to save her."

Meng Zhiye's eyes were red with anxiety.

She couldn't help but look at Duan Yanzhou.

At this moment, Duan Yanzhou was whispering to Xiaoxi: "Go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and give this thing to the old Grand Tutor. Let him take care of it himself."

Xiaoxi took the things, turned around and left in a hurry.

Duan Yanzhou put his hands on his hips and looked at the chaotic lobby on the first floor, thinking that Lu Sui would really cause trouble for him.

Wanhelou cannot be without a shopkeeper for a day, and he was just thinking of finding someone to take over for a day or two when a soft voice came from behind him.

"Master Duan."

Duan Yanzhou turned around and looked at Meng Zhiye.

"Who are you?"

"My father is Meng Qingtang, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. I am Meng Zhiye, the eldest daughter of the Meng family. This is my sister Zhixia."

"It's Miss Meng." Duan Yanzhou met her red eyes and saw that she was covering her arm with her hand. He subconsciously asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No," Meng Zhiye shook his head gently, his eyes reddening even more, "I'm just worried about Yaoyao."

"She and Chenyu were taken away by the government before they even got married. In the future...in the future..." She couldn't help crying as she spoke.

Duan Yanzhou understood what she meant.

But when he met her fragile tearful eyes, he felt a little flustered.

"Hey, don't cry yet. They're fine. I promise."

"real?"

"Really, Chenyu..." Duan Yanzhou wanted to say something, but the words slipped back to his lips. "Anyway, don't worry, maybe they will be back soon."

…

Jiang Yueyao and Chenyu were directly sent to jail by Yu Chong.

The moment the prison door closed, Yu Chong stood outside the door, looked at Jiang Yueyao and smiled.

"Shopkeeper Jiang is truly formidable. He actually dares to go against the princess. He truly has no idea of ​​his own limitations."

Jiang Yueyao was so tired that she sat down on the haystack and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Chenyu leaned against the prison door with her arms folded, looking at Yu Chong.

"You came so quickly, but did you plan this in advance?"

When Yu Chong heard this, his eyes widened. "What are you talking about, girl? What premeditated plan? Be careful or I'll punish you for slander without reason."

"Heh..." Chenyu rolled her eyes, "Oh, I'm so scared."

"You..." Yu Chong's face turned pale with anger at her arrogant attitude.

He approached the cell door, a sinister look on his face, and lowered his voice.

"So what if it was premeditated? You've offended Princess Xiang Ning, and you still expect to leave this prison alive?"

She is so beautiful that she is not afraid at all.

Instead, I became interested.

"How much good has she done for you? If you let us both out, I can give you double."

Yu Chong looked at her as if he had heard a huge joke.

"You? Double?" He looked at Chenyu as if she were a fool. "You're just a waiter in a restaurant, you can't even take out ten taels of silver, and yet you dare to speak so shamelessly in front of me? I think you're tired of living."

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Chenyu didn't bother to talk any more.

Just leave a sentence.

"Master Shao Yin, please don't regret it."

Yu Chong blurted out without thinking.

"I regret it? I regret that I'm a dog!"
