Yang Qiguang was dizzy from the shaking and felt pain all over his body. He finally managed to open his eyes and saw Liu Wenge lunging towards Jiang Yimian. Startled, he cried out, "Watch out..."
However, the next second, Liu Wenge was once again pushed to the ground by the guards beside him.
Struck to the ground again, Liu Wenge felt pain all over his body and his vision began to blur, yet he was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
What humiliated him even more was that these were the same tricks he used to deal with others, but now they were being used on him.
He had never been so humiliated before. Just as he was about to continue his insults, he heard the guard say to Jiang Yimian, "Princess, what should we do with these people?"
Upon hearing that it was a princess, and seeing that the guards were clearly the same guards who had been at the entrance of the Bureau of Justice, Liu Wenge was immediately terrified and begged for mercy, saying, "Princess, it was my fault. I shouldn't have hit someone in the street. I will never dare to do it again. Please, Princess, forgive me."
It's all a misunderstanding. I know these two brothers; we all know each other.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yang was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Yang Qiguang quickly grabbed him, forcing him to shut up.
Jiang Yimian, however, was getting a headache from the noise. She gave Liu Wenge a cold look before saying, "If you knew this would happen, why did you attack them in the first place?"
Just as the guards were about to take the man to the authorities, Yang Qiguang suddenly spoke up: "Princess, Princess, I, I know him. This is indeed a misunderstanding. Please forgive him."
After saying that, he lowered his head and gripped the hem of his clothes tightly. Even though he hated it in his heart, he had no choice but to say those words.
Because his father did indeed steal from the Liu family, he couldn't refute it.
In the end, he was handed over to the authorities, and only he was embarrassed.
He couldn't afford to compensate the Liu family for their belongings, nor did he want to be the subject of gossip.
Now, at least some people believe that his father is innocent and that he was just someone who was bullied for no reason.
Jiang Yimian didn't speak, but only glanced at the person on the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Wenge quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Princess, Princess, we know each other. It's all a misunderstanding. He just said it was all a misunderstanding."
Jiang Yimian said coldly, "If there is a next time, I will definitely not let you off."
Liu Wenge quickly assured her, "Princess, don't worry, there will definitely not be a next time. I will never dare to do it again."
Jiang Yimian then waved her hand.
As soon as the guards released Liu Wenge, he immediately led his men and ran away in a panic, clearly terrified.
Yang Qiguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yimian's gaze fell on the papers scattered all over the floor.
The characters on it are elegant and graceful, with strength that seems to penetrate the paper. It's clear that the writer put in a lot of effort, and it's a pity that they're scattered all over the ground like this now.
I reached out and picked one up, only to find that the contents on it were quite interesting.
"Key points of the autumn examination papers?" Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, not expecting to see such a thing here.
Seeing this, Gao Yang quickly picked up the papers on the ground and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made the princess laugh at me. These were just some random notes I wrote for fun."
"I've participated in the imperial examinations several times and have a clear understanding of the question setters' thought processes, so I wanted to try my luck selling my knowledge, but unexpectedly, I got scrambled into this mess."
These key points were all summarized from his participation in the autumn imperial examinations. If he weren't so short of money, he wouldn't have been willing to sell them, but no one believed him.
Jiang Yimian just smiled, recalling the day she met this man at Zhao Xiaonian's stall, and asked curiously, "Did that master help you find the hairpin?"
Gao Yang was taken aback, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Of course we found it. That Master Zhao is very capable. How did the princess know about this?"
That day, he went back and, following the master's instructions, searched near the outhouse. Sure enough, he found the hairpin. He had originally planned to thank the master, but unexpectedly, he didn't see him for several days.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Seeing that the two were alright, he took Liu'er and got into the carriage and left.
Yang Qiguang's uneasy heart finally settled down after everyone left, but he stared at the carriage for a long time without looking away.
Seeing this, Gao Yang just smiled and said, "What, are you stunned? That is Princess Ning'an, personally appointed by His Majesty. We never expected to run into her today. We are really lucky."
My hand was almost ruined, but thankfully Princess Ning'an arrived in time.
Presumably, after today, Liu Wenge won't dare to cause us any trouble for a while.
"Hey, why did you stop me just now? That Liu Wenge was so outrageous, why didn't you take advantage of the princess's presence and teach him a lesson to vent your anger?"
If he hadn't stopped him, he definitely wouldn't have let that bastard off so easily.
Yang Qiguang didn't answer, but instead looked away and asked the person next to him curiously, "Have you met this princess before?"
Gao Yang simply shook his head. "No, she probably just happened to see me once when she went to Master Zhao's fortune teller."
I don't really remember her.
Forget it, let's not talk about her.
Is your face alright? It looks swollen. Should we go see a doctor?
"What if your injury hasn't healed by the time of the autumn examination? Wouldn't that affect you?"
The autumn imperial examination is less than half a month away, and he noticed that the other person's injuries were quite serious, and didn't seem like they would heal quickly.
Thinking about it, he only cursed: "That Liu Wenge is a real bastard. Every time he sees you, he humiliates you in all sorts of ways."
"If I had known he was here today, I wouldn't have let you come along. Now we haven't sold anything, and we've both gotten beaten up."
Yang Qiguang just shook his head, "It's okay, I'm used to it. You shouldn't have rushed over just now. It's all my fault that you got beaten up too."
Fortunately, you don't have any injuries on your face.
If he hadn't failed to see Liu Wenge and rushed over rashly, Gao Yang wouldn't have been injured in the process.
The matter between him and the Liu family was clearly none of his business.
Gao Yang simply waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile, "It's alright, we were lucky today, no one was seriously injured."
Despite Princess Ning'an's threat just now, we should avoid coming here recently, as Liu Wenge might cause trouble again someday.
You don't need to worry about the money. I have some left, enough for the two of us to eat for the next few months. Don't worry, just stay home and read.
Let's participate in the autumn imperial examination together and try our best to make the list this year.
He refused to believe it. This was the third year he had failed the exam. He was determined to show his mother that he was capable.
Yang Qiguang hurriedly refused, saying in a flustered manner, "You absolutely mustn't do that. That's all the money you earned by copying books with great effort. How can I use it?"
I'll think of another way.
Gao Yang's family was not well-off either; they made a living by copying books. How could he possibly use the other party's money?
He had already helped him a lot.
Since his father's death, he had almost always relied on the other party for support, and now he was even asked to continue using Gao Yang's money. He really had no right to do so.
