Jiang Ling, who had been single her entire life, never expected to wake up and find herself transmigrated to a place called Lujia Village during a devastating famine year.
Facing a family ful...
The man stared in astonishment, then the knife fell to the ground, and he crashed heavily to the floor.
"Who goes there? Playing tricks here? Come out if you dare!" Huang Pian wasn't stupid. He was shocked when he saw the cold arrow and shouted in the direction it came from.
"Hahahaha! Huang Pian! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!" He Shunsu lifted the carriage curtain, fanned himself, and got out of the carriage!
Huang Pian was completely stunned when he saw that the person getting off the carriage was the Third Prince He Shunsu. Of course, he wasn't the only one who was stunned; Jiang Ling, who was secretly observing from the side, was also there.
Jiang Ling covered her mouth and exclaimed inwardly, "How could it be him? What's he doing here?"
However, when Nianci got off the carriage, Jiang Ling was even more surprised and froze on the spot.
"Fourth...Fourth Young Master, how come you're with the Third Prince?" Jiang Shan, who was standing to the side, was also a little confused.
Jiang Ling took a step back and leaned against her carriage, panting heavily as she tried to maintain her last shred of sanity.
"Jiang Shan, keep a close eye on the Fourth Young Master!" Jiang Ling said.
Jiang Shan nodded repeatedly, his eyes now fixed on Nianci.
"Third...Third Prince?" Huang Pian was usually arrogant, but he was no longer the same when he saw a prince. He pushed away the servant who was supporting him, and despite the severe pain in his thigh, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
He Shunsu's eyes were full of contempt, but he kicked Huang Pian with his foot: "You caused a ruckus at the Six Doors, Huang Pian, how many heads did you chop off?"
Huang Pian trembled upon hearing this; he had indeed acted too impulsively before.
After the Six Doors rescued Jiang Wenxi and injured him, he was single-mindedly thinking about revenge. Having gotten used to being arrogant and domineering, he no longer took the Six Doors seriously.
Now that He Shunsu has reminded me, I do realize that I've gotten myself into trouble.
But then he thought that his sister was the concubine of the current prime minister, so it wouldn't be easy for him to take action.
He knelt on the ground, feigning concern, and explained, "I...I'm not...the Third Prince. It was the Six Doors who were arrogant and broke into my house in the middle of the night, and even injured me! Look at my legs, that's proof!"
"I've spent so much money trying to treat this leg lately, but it hasn't gotten any better. Please take a look..."
As she spoke, Huang Pian pointed to the leg whose gauze was already stained red.
"Huang Pian, you just said that the Six Doors were arrogant and broke into your house in the middle of the night? You're not lying to me, are you?" He Shunsu's expression was so calm that it was hard to read.
Huang Pian stole several glances at He Shunsu but couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Deciding to take a gamble, he nodded, revealing a look of trepidation.
"Third Prince, you must do justice for me! The Six Doors are utterly lawless! It's all that woman named Ye Feng's doing!"
Before coming, He Shunsu already knew the ins and outs of the serious matter. Huang Pian's clumsy acting skills naturally couldn't fool him, but he still intended to make the act more convincing.
He nodded and looked at the Six Doors. At this moment, Ye Feng and the others were already kneeling on the ground.
"Huang Pian said that your Six Doors are lawless, and that you broke into his house at night and injured him, especially?"
"Your Highness, this is indeed the case; Huang Pian did not lie..."
"Third Prince, did you hear that? Third Prince, I beg you to do me justice! Arrest them! Arrest them! Arrest them and behead them immediately!" Huang Pian perked up at these words, practically jumping up and down as he pointed at Ye Feng and the others.
"However! The Third Prince has a reason for this, please listen to the whole story!" Ye Feng was kneeling on the ground, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
The Third Prince nodded in acquiescence.
"It's because Huang Pian tried to forcibly abduct a woman, but my disciple Jiang Wenxi stopped him. As a result, Huang Pian tricked and kidnapped Jiang Wenxi, locking her in a secret room and abusing her for two days and two nights. My disciple is a woman, not even fourteen years old this year! When we rescued Jiang Wenxi, there was no good flesh left on her body! Third Prince, under such circumstances, what crime have I, Ye Feng, committed?"
"You! Ye Feng, you're talking nonsense! Stop spouting lies! I kidnapped you? I abused you? What the hell is your evidence?" Huang Pian pointed at Ye Feng and cursed.
Anyway, his subordinates wouldn't betray him, and the maids had already cleaned up everything in the secret room. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't find any evidence. That's why Huang Pian was so calm at this moment, even going so far as to distort the truth.
Upon hearing Huang Pian's sophistry and distortion of the truth, Ye Feng was so angry that his eyebrows shot up. If it weren't for the presence of the Third Prince, Ye Feng's weapon would already be drawing blood.
"Oh? If that's the case, then why not let Jiang Wenxi come over to confront him?" the Third Prince said calmly.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Huang Pian, feeling guilty, had beads of sweat the size of soybeans inexplicably appearing on his forehead.
He quickly wiped his forehead and said, "Third Prince, I think this is inappropriate! What if Ye Feng and the others have already planned it? As the saying goes, 'If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason!'"
Huang Pian spoke with extreme grievance, and if one did not know his character, one might actually be fooled by his acting skills at this moment.
The Third Prince stroked his chin and gave Xiao Hai a wink. Xiao Hai then quietly left the crowd.
"Since you two both have conflicting accounts, then... let's both be taken to prison to await judgment!" the Third Prince suddenly said coldly.
Huang Pian naively thought that the Third Prince was on his side. After hearing this, Huang Pian was stunned. He was about to curse, but then he suddenly remembered He Shunsu's identity and could only kowtow to express his gratitude.
Hidden in the shadows, the guards descended from the sky. Looking at these fierce-looking men, Huang Pian felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
