The old man was terrified and refused to let Du Siyuan take his pulse. He only wanted money and kept saying that he felt insecure and did not trust Du Siyuan.
Still pretending?
Su Luo took out a bottle of powerful makeup remover from her spatial storage, opened the cap, and splashed it directly onto the old man's face.
"Ah...murder."
She poured the remaining half bottle onto the face of the old man who was still lying on the ground.
Seeing Su Luo treat the two elderly people this way, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
This woman seems to be some kind of princess. How could she treat an elderly person like this? That's too arrogant!
But then, after Su Luo splashed water on the old man on the ground, his body, which had been unable to move, suddenly jolted and began to move, even wiping the water off his face with his sleeve.
"He's awake! He's awake! That's great!" someone in the crowd said.
Nangong Manyu only knew that she was being extorted, but she didn't know if Su Luo's actions were her solution.
"Stop pretending, the Prefect of the Capital will be here soon, none of you will escape."
The two elderly people were taken aback by Su Luo's words, and the person on the ground slowly woke up. The two sat on the ground together, their eyes still looking aggrieved.
Just because they can't see something doesn't mean others can't see it either.
Nangong Manyu and Ye Yueze pointed at the two old men.
"You...your faces!"
Everyone looked at the two old people, saying that seeing is believing and hearing is deceiving. Now they could see it clearly.
"Their faces are fake. These two are in disguise. Look, everyone, they are not old people at all."
Su Luo reacted quickly, tearing off the old woman's face. At first glance, the disguise was truly undetectable.
"Your disguise skills are good, but even with your superb skills, there are still some oversights."
The skin was peeled off, and the old lady turned out to be a woman in her thirties.
The woman bumped into the man beside her. He was originally the old man's man, but now the disguise on his face had been removed by Su Luo's powerful makeup remover.
"Hmph! We're just unlucky today, that you actually saw through us."
We believe we have no flaws; how did you know we were fake?
The woman was quite confident in her skills, believing that her disguise technique was flawless.
Even if Su Luo saw through it, she still thought it was just a coincidence.
The woman's question is also everyone's question; they disguised themselves so well that no one noticed.
"Hmph! You can fake your face and demeanor, and you can fake your frail and old body, but you've forgotten how an old person can have such distinct fingernails and crescent moons."
The woman held up her hand to look at it; her nails were smooth, with pinkish blood inside and a delicate white crescent-shaped mark.
"So it was this nail that gave us away."
Everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."
Su Luo continued, "It's not just that. Just like when you pushed Dr. Du away, your reaction was quick, and the strength was not something an elderly person of your age should have."
"It was all a lie. You took advantage of our kindness. You swindlers have no conscience."
The people were indignant, and compared to what had just happened, they felt truly ashamed of having let down Nangong Manyu and Ye Yueze.
"You heartless bastards, just wait for the Prefect of the Capital to come and arrest and execute you all."
"Make way...make way, the Prefect of the Capital is coming."
Xiao Fei personally went to find the Prefect of the Capital. Upon hearing her voice, the people made way for her.
Upon seeing Nangong Manyu in the crowd, Xiaofei burst into tears and stepped forward to examine Nangong Manyu's body.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright? You scared me to death! I thought I would never see you again, sob sob... It's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
Xiao Fei's repeated calls of "Princess" stunned everyone. Who were these people? One minute they were a princess, the next they were a queen.
These scammers have really messed up today.
Ye Yueze turned to look at Nangong Manyu, his face full of confusion. What did that maid call Manman? Princess?
In Nanning, there is only one princess of Manman's age who fits the description, and that is the Fifth Princess, Nangong Manyu.
"Nangong Manyu, Manman, are you the Fifth Princess?"
Seeing that she could no longer hide it from Ye Yueze, Nangong Manyu nodded to him.
The Prefect of the Capital came over, knelt before Nangong Manyu and Su Luo in his official robes, and said, "Your subject, Prefect Bian Zhixing of the Capital, greets Princess Yu and the Fifth Princess."
Everyone gasped at the same time. What were they doing? That was the princess of Nanning! They had just insulted the princess. Would they be arrested by the authorities?
The Prefect of the Capital knelt down, and all the people who had gathered around, along with the common folk on the street, also knelt down.
"Fifth Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me..."
"This lowly person is foolish and ignorant; please forgive me, Fifth Princess."
How could Nangong Manyu blame her own people? She said gently, "Everyone, please get up. You were also deceived. I don't blame you."
The Prefect of the Capital and the people all stood up, but the two people who had been pretending and inciting the people only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to run away.
They made their living in this line of work and all had some martial arts skills, so they quickly fought off the guards and escaped.
"Catch them! Don't let them escape!" the Prefect of the Capital shouted from behind.
The three were repeat offenders, and without even discussing it, they all knew to run away to different corners.
They could escape the guards' hands, but they couldn't escape Shuang Shuo's curved blades.
Shuang Shuo only wanted to show the Seventh Prince the nature of humanity. Just as he was about to make his move, Su Luo arrived, so he continued to observe from the shadows.
However, those who bullied the Seventh Prince deserve to die.
Before the Prefect of the Capital could lead his men back for questioning, the three men were killed on the spot by his blade.
"Who are you to dare kill people in the street? Even if these people are frauds, I will take them back to be convicted. How dare you!" The Prefect of the Capital said, pointing at Shuang Shuo.
Shuang Shuo glanced at the Prefect of the Capital, sheathed his scimitar, walked up to Ye Yueze, and bowed.
"Seventh Prince, I'm sorry to have startled you."
Now it was Nangong Manyu's turn to be surprised. How did this silly little boy who used to play behind her turn into the Seventh Prince?
There is no Seventh Prince in Nanning, but a person from Beiliang happens to be here, and Yue Ze lives on South Street. Could he be the Seventh Prince of Beiliang?
"Shuangshuo, who sent you here? Did my brother ask you to secretly follow me again?"
"Seventh Prince, your master is also concerned about you."
Of the group, the most bewildered was the Prefect of the Capital. On this most peaceful day, a group of discontented people had arrived.
"This...this..."
After killing everyone, Shuang Shuo turned to the Prefect of the Capital behind him and said, "My lord, the Seventh Prince of Beiliang has just arrived in Nanning and has already encountered such a thing. It is clear that the administration under the emperor's nose is not so good."
Furthermore, Northern Liang and Southern Ning are about to form a marriage alliance. If this matter escalates, it will be bad for everyone. Does Your Excellency really want to ruin this marriage alliance for the sake of a few swindlers who have bullied the Fifth Princess and our princes?
