"Who? Who's meddling here?"

The obese man suddenly looked at Sheng Lingwei, and when he saw her face clearly, his eyes were filled with a lewd grin.

"Oh, you are a beautiful girl. Look at your fair and delicate skin and your slender waist. It must feel wonderful to touch."

"I must say, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. Ah, Yucheng County is so small, why have I never seen you before?"

"Stop spouting nonsense."

A bodyguard flashed forward, slapped the fat man away, and then drew his longsword and instantly cut off his tongue.

"Ah, young master, are you alright?"

"Young master, who are you people? How dare you harm my young master! Do you believe we will cut you into a thousand pieces?"

The six thugs were startled by the sudden scene and only came to their senses after hearing the fat man's shrill screams.

He quickly grabbed the long stick in his hand and charged straight at Sheng Lingwei and the others, thinking to himself that the woman in red was really beautiful, and once they captured her, they would definitely have a good taste of her.

Ha ha ha ha.

Seeing the naked malice in the eyes of the six people, a murderous glint flashed in Sheng Lingwei's eyes.

His appearance was like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he kicked the six thugs away, sending them crashing straight into the courtyard wall made of earth.

A loud "bang!"

The courtyard wall collapsed, smoke billowed up, and the six thugs were buried alive by the mud!

The ten guards glanced at the longswords they had just drawn, then at the collapsed courtyard wall, and sighed.

Oh my god, the princess is moving too fast.

They were utterly useless.

The group of exiled prisoners who had been watching outside the courtyard quickly put away their shocked jaws, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and hurriedly hid in a more distant place.

Fortunately, they didn't stand under the courtyard wall, otherwise they would have been buried under the mud.

Wow, that girl in red is really something.

"Waaah..." The obese man looked at Sheng Lingwei with a terrified expression. He had gotten himself into big trouble today. What should he do? What should he do?

Who can save him?

The guards helped Liu Zi's parents up. With their thin bodies, they shakily approached Sheng Lingwei and thanked her with gratitude.

"Young lady, thank you so much for saving my husband and me. We are extremely grateful, but..."

Sheng Lingwei raised an eyebrow. "Just what?"

Xu Chunsheng, the father of the sixth son, had a deep sorrow in his eyes. He turned to look at the obese man who was slumped on the ground and sighed.

"Girls, you'd better leave here quickly! If it gets too late, I'm afraid you'll face Ma Dadan's revenge."

Sigh, they were a useless couple anyway, so their deaths are fine, but they shouldn't have dragged other innocent people down with them!

"Ma Dadan?" Sheng Lingwei narrowed her eyes.

One of the guards immediately stepped forward to explain: "Princess, Ma Dadan is the chief bandit leader, the fat pig on the ground is his nephew, and his father is the second-in-command of the bandits."

"I see," Sheng Lingwei said with a cold smile.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, don't be afraid. Ma Dadan won't be arrogant for long. I have already sent people to wipe out that group of people."

Princess! ! !

Xu Chunsheng and his wife were extremely shocked. After exchanging a glance, they immediately knelt down on the ground.

"This sinner pays respects to Princess Chang Le. May the princess live a thousand years!"

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was unaware of your identity and have offended you greatly. Please do not take offense."

Sheng Lingwei sighed, stepped forward to help Xu Chunsheng and his wife up, and said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, there is no need for such formalities. Liu Zi is a good friend whom I value, and his elders are also my elders."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chunsheng and his wife looked even more frightened and quickly waved their hands.

"No, no, no, Princess, please don't hurt us! We are unworthy to be your elders!"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is already a blessing from heaven that my son has caught your eye. We are of lowly status and would not dare to offend Your Highness's eyes."

Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated.

Liu Zi's parents were simple and honest people, but unfortunately, their pride had been worn away over the years.

For them, simply being alive is a luxury!

Sheng Lingwei looked at the two of them with a gentle expression, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, now that Liu Zi has caught my eye, you can hold your heads high from now on. I will not treat you unfairly."

Furthermore, I will arrange for doctors to treat your health; you only need to focus on recuperating.

"This...Princess..."

Xu Chunsheng and his wife had tears in their eyes, deeply moved, with a thousand words they wanted to say, but they didn't know where to begin.

The couple became extremely anxious, and tears streamed down their faces.

Sheng Lingwei sighed in exasperation and quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, this place is no longer suitable for you to live in. You should pack your things and come with me to the Princess's residence. You can move out after the houses are built."

"This..." Xu Chunsheng looked conflicted. "Princess, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

Sheng Lingwei smiled and shook her head, "The princess's residence has many rooms and a spacious area. It's more than enough for your family of three. Besides, the more than 10,000 people I brought will also live in the princess's residence with you."

Xu Chunsheng and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that staying here would only cause more trouble, but they felt bad about troubling the princess.

Sheng Lingwei gave her guards a wink.

They immediately understood and quickly helped the couple into the room, helping them unpack their luggage.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack. The family of three had three bundles, which contained all their luggage.

As for the thin, tattered, and worn-out quilt, the couple planned to take it with them, but the guards stopped them.

They had already received a letter from Rong Momo and prepared plenty of daily necessities, so the princess's residence had no shortage of quilts.

Just as the group was heading back home...

A young woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress) and with a face full of acne, led a group of people to the front of the courtyard in a menacing manner.

Upon seeing the mess in the courtyard, she was first taken aback, then put her hands on her hips and shouted inside:

"Xu Chunsheng, Wang Juhua, you are traitors of Yucheng County. You actually colluded with that little bitch Princess Chang Le. You deserve to die."

"You two damned lowly commoners, get out here right now! I'll grind you to dust!"

The ten guards' expressions darkened, and they exuded a strong killing intent.

"Princess, the dog that's talking is named Wang Jiaojiao."

She is Wang Tian's daughter.

Wang Tian controlled all the exiled prisoners, which made the Wang family arrogant and domineering. They would kill innocent exiled prisoners whenever they were in a bad mood, acting as if they were local tyrants.

Sheng Lingwei's eyes were icy cold, and a bloodthirsty smile curled at the corners of her lips as she waved to the guards.

"Go! Tear that dog's mouth apart. If she can't speak, she shouldn't speak anymore. As for her little life, spare it for now. There will be plenty of people to torture her later."

"Yes, Princess."
