They kicked Nan Kezhi aside, and even kicked her once. Nan Kezhi was so frightened that she lost her mind.
A man stood condescendingly before the Prime Minister's wife, pointing at her and cursing, "You slut, with your vixen-like face, you only know how to seduce men. You're over fifty and still don't know shame. You rely on your seductive face to flirt with other women. You have no shame and dare to seduce married men. You filthy woman should go to hell..."
The rough man cursed with every swear word he knew, then grabbed the Prime Minister's wife by the collar and raised his hand to slap her.
Snap—
The clear, piercing sound carried far, and Nan Kezhi's heart-wrenching cries echoed, "Let go of Mother! Mother! Don't hit Mother! Please, don't hit Mother! Hit me, scold me, Mother!"
The rough man's slaps fell one after another, until the Prime Minister's wife vomited blood.
But she remained silent, her expression resolute.
"Ying Shu!" A rough, deep roar pierced the air.
Immediately afterwards, a throwing knife flew through the air, grazed the door frame, and knocked down the villain who was holding the Prime Minister's wife.
Grand Commandant Song rushed in, grabbed the Prime Minister's wife, and cried out in anguish, "Yingshu! How dare they...!"
"Men! Seize him!"
The guards captured all the villains, and Grand Commandant Song picked up the Prime Minister's wife and hurried out of the woods.
In the desolate wilderness, Grand Commandant Song, carrying the Prime Minister's wife, mounted his horse.
The Prime Minister's wife struggled, "Put me down. I dare not trouble Grand Commandant Song to escort me."
"Mother! Let go of my mother!" Nan Kezhi broke free from the guards' restraint and rushed to Song Taiwei's horse, grabbing tightly onto the Prime Minister's wife's skirt.
Commander Song held the Prime Minister's wife tightly in his arms, staring down at Nan Kezhi and threatening, "If you don't let go, I'll throw you into the mountains alone!"
These words were mainly intended to threaten the Prime Minister's wife.
Sure enough, the Prime Minister's wife immediately stopped struggling and tearfully pleaded with Nan Kezhi, "Kezhi, let go and listen to me."
Nan Kezhi's tears streamed down her face...
"Elder sister, that Commander Song... seems to have feelings for Mother... Yesterday he... he was very rude..."
Nan Qianyue wiped away her tears, her chest filled with burning anger. "I know, this isn't over. Eldest sister will make that woman pay the price."
"Does eldest sister know who it is?" Nan Kezhi's eyes widened, tears still streaming down her face.
Nan Qianyue felt there was no need to hide it from her, so she nodded and said, "Yes, it's Lady Lou, the wife of Grand Commandant Song."
“Madam Song?! But we were saved by Grand Commandant Song…” At this point, Nan Kezhi dared not think any further.
Nanqianyue patted her head reassuringly, "Don't think about it. Get well first. Tonight, your older sister will take you to beat up someone and get back all the grievances you suffered yesterday."
Nan Kezhi was shocked, then nodded heavily, "Okay!"
She believed in her older sister.
After leaving Qingyin Courtyard, I went to the Shi Courtyard to visit my younger brother during my southward migration.
Before I even stepped into the courtyard, I heard the sounds of weapons clashing.
In the spacious courtyard, several guards surrounded Nan Yichu with unsharpened knives. Nan Yichu held a long knife in his right hand and a short sword in his left, haphazardly hacking at the knives in the guards' hands.
Nanqianyue's appearance successfully attracted the attention of the guards, who looked to her for help: "Young lady, please save us!"
"Is my little brother practicing martial arts?"
As soon as the young lady spoke, the guards immediately had a reason to step back.
Just as Nan Yichu was about to call back the guards, his eyes lit up when he saw Nan Qianyue.
"Elder sister! You're finally back! Are you alright? Prince Anzheng's men said you—"
"Stop, stop, stop." Nan Qianyue interrupted him, raising her chin slightly and pointing at the weapon in his hand. "What are you doing?"
Nan Yichu raised her weapon, her gaze resolute, and said, "I will learn martial arts, and then protect you!"
He wanted to be like Prince Anzheng, taking up a sword on the battlefield, and if anyone bullied his family, he would use force to suppress them!
Nanqian Yue smiled with satisfaction, "You have ambition. Eldest sister, we'll talk to Father another day and ask him to allow you to learn martial arts and find you a master with high martial arts skills."
"Really!" Nan Yichu jumped up and down excitedly, circling Nan Qianyue several times.
"Big sister, you're so kind!"
"Alright, alright, your older sister called you here to inform you that you need to come with me tonight." Her expression suddenly turned serious.
Nan Yichu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
The moon raised an eyebrow as she moved south, "Didn't they even ask why?"
Nan Yichu slung the long sword over her shoulder and said proudly with a smile, "My eldest sister would never harm me, so there's no need to ask any more questions!"
...
Dinner is over.
Standing under the peach tree in the courtyard, Nanqianyue closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance. When she opened her eyes, a chill filled her quiet pupils.
"Miss, Lady Lou has been sent to a separate residence by Grand Commandant Song to reflect on her actions." Wei Da appeared out of nowhere.
Li Bing followed closely behind, asking, "Miss, are you sure you don't want to tie up the princess?"
Nanqianyue plucked a petal from the moon and rubbed it, "No need."
She's a princess, after all. If she's kidnapped rashly and things get out of hand, the royal family will side with the royal family, but not with her, a mere subject, even if she's the victim.
She had other ways to deal with the eldest princess.
It's better to destroy someone's spirit than to kill them.
A dark and windy night is the perfect time to do sneaky things.
A cemetery in the northern suburbs of Beijing.
The hooting of owls echoed eerily through the graveyard.
In front of several tombstones, a loosely woven sack began to move, and the sound of a woman sobbing could be heard.
A pale hand emerged from the sack.
"Who? Who dares to hit me?" A woman crawled out of the sack. She was about to question him when she suddenly saw her surroundings and screamed in fright.
"Ah—! A ghost! There's a ghost! Help—!"
She ran wildly through the graveyard, but tripped over a dead tree and found herself lying in front of a distorted ghost face.
