"How can he run away? Everyone knows that he is a playboy. Bah, he is vulgar. He has nine concubines at home, but he still goes to brothels every day." Yuchi Ziling said in annoyance.
"He wanted me to make it even for him, but he gets mad when I mention this. Never mind, I won't be able to settle my anger unless I give him a beating."
That night.
The crescent moon hung on the branches, and a night sky covered the city of Rong'an.
It was curfew time, the streets and alleys became extremely quiet, and every household turned off the lights and went to sleep.
However, the curfew only applies to the common people. At this time, the lights in several large brothels in the capital are still bright, and the powerful and wealthy are drinking and having fun, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and never get tired of it.
In the backyard of the General's Mansion, two people in night clothes jumped up from the wall of the backyard. They flew over the eaves and walls and headed straight for Zuixianlou, the largest brothel in the city.
In Zuixian Tower, Yang Zhe was surrounded by beauties and was drunk.
However, what he didn't know was that near where he parked his carriage, two people were watching from a big tree.
It was not until two or three in the middle of the night that the guards helped the drunk Yang Zhe out of Zuixianlou.
Seeing the carriage coming out, Ye Xingyi immediately left his hiding place and ran along the wall to a relatively remote alley that he had to pass through to return home.
"Click." Yuchi Ziling pulled out two sections of the gun barrel from behind, put them together, and twisted them together to form a long spear.
The long sword was unsheathed, and Cai'er also drew her sword.
"Da da da." The carriage turned into the alley and moved forward slowly.
The two men lay on the wall and watched the slowly approaching carriage.
"Ha..." The guard following behind the team yawned, looking tired.
Suddenly, Night Walker leaped up from the corner of the wall and fired a shot directly at the two guards at the back of the team. They were knocked unconscious against the wall.
"What's going on?" The two guards in front heard the voice and turned around nervously.
With two "bangs", the butt of a gun came at them, stabbing and chopping, and the two guards fell to the ground.
Yuchi Ziling did not kill them and spared several lives.
"Cai'er, take him out."
Cai'er lifted the curtain and jumped into the carriage. Yang Zhe was still in a daze in the carriage, and he was hugging a charming woman.
"Ah... Woo." The woman was about to scream, but Cai'er covered her mouth.
"Shut up if you don't want to die." Cai'er threatened.
The woman nodded rapidly.
"Pa." Cai'er knocked the woman unconscious with a palm.
Yang Zhe then realized that something was wrong. He stumbled up and tried to escape, but was carried off the carriage by Cai'er.
Yuchi Ziling didn't say anything, she just went up and kicked him in the stomach.
After a few punches, Yang Zhe's originally chubby face turned into a pig's head in an instant.
"Big, big shrimp, you're killing me, big shrimp, you're killing me." Yang Zhe's mouth was swollen and he begged for mercy incoherently.
Originally, he just wanted to teach this pervert a lesson and had no intention of killing anyone. Yuchi Ziling clapped his hands and led Cai'er away in a leisurely manner.
Yang Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the guards lying on the ground in all directions, he was furious. He went up to the guards and kicked them one after another.
"What's the use of you? You're all fucking trash...good-for-nothings!" He cursed, venting his inner anger.
…
General's Mansion, main house.
Madam Su Hui tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. Later that day, she heard from the servants who were out that the news that Prince Xuan wanted to come and propose marriage had spread.
The sudden news made Su Hui very anxious. She got a headache when she thought of Yang Zhe's playboy appearance.
"No, Ling'er's personality is such that she's prone to trouble."
Suddenly, Su Hui remembered that she had not told her daughter not to do anything rash, so she quickly got up and rushed to her daughter's residence.
It was late and there was no one in the boudoir.
"Oh, what should I do?" Su Hui sat restlessly in her daughter's boudoir.
Anxious and helpless, Su Hui could only sit down and wait for her daughter to come back.
It was around four o'clock when Yuchi Ziling returned to her courtyard.
She was startled when she entered the room and saw her mother sitting in a chair looking at her.
"Hey, Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"What have you been doing?"
Su Hui had actually guessed what her good daughter was going to do, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in getting angry.
"Give that scoundrel Yang Zhe a good beating and see if he dares to propose marriage again."
Yuchi Ziling raised her chin like a proud swan.
"You really are..." Su Hui couldn't describe her feelings at the moment. She calmed down and asked,
"You beat someone up and gave your name?"
"That can't happen. Your daughter is not stupid."
Su Hui nodded.
At this time, Cai'er blurted out,
"Miss, when I arrested someone, I threatened the brothel girl. Was I exposed?"
“…” The mother and daughter were petrified.
"What did you say? You didn't say your name?"
"No, I told her to shut up."
Su Hui shook her head and sighed. Knowing it was a woman, it was easy to guess that it was her daughter who did it. No daughter in the capital was so fierce. Even if the other party had no evidence, they would not give up.
"Mom, why are you afraid of him? If he asks for marriage, you have to marry him. Just refuse."
"You think it's simple. It's all your fault. If you don't beat him, your father might have a chance to make him give up if he tries to maneuver around.
Now, what if he goes to the Emperor to complain about his misfortune, and the Emperor asks you to marry him, will you be able to escape?"
"That's outrageous. What does my marriage have to do with him?"
"You are too naive. Don't you know the face of the royal family and the moral character of the current Darong royal family?"
"He's just a tyrant who cares about appearances."
"Don't be so reckless. I don't know how this will end now."
"At worst, I can just run away. Let me become that dandy's tenth concubine. What a dream."
Yuchi Ziling didn't look worried at all. She reached out and grabbed a loquat from the table and started eating it.
Seeing her daughter's carefree look, Su Hui was really powerless to complain. After thinking for a while, she said,
"Change your clothes and come with me."
After saying that, Su Hui got up and went back to her main house.
Yuchi Ziling said "oh" and quickly went into the room with Cai'er to change clothes.
After a while, Yuchi Ziling came to the main house.
The calligraphy and paintings on the wall of the main house were moved away, Su Hui reached out to open the secret compartment, and took out a small brocade box from it.
"Mom, what is this?"
"I've thought about it, you really have to leave the capital. You take this thing with you."
Yuchi Ziling curiously took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a crescent jade pendant.
"This thing is beautiful and valuable."
"Listen, most of your father's closest friends are in the capital, and there's not much here who can protect you.
Your uncle is in the military camp with your father and you can’t go there either.
You have a childhood marriage, but Uncle Jiang didn't let your father tell you about it because the Jiang family was demoted and they didn't want you to marry into a lower class.
The Jiang family has a son who is the same age as you. This jade pendant is a token of your love. You should go to Binhai County in southern Xinjiang to find the Jiang family.
Your father and Uncle Jiang still exchange letters occasionally, but the young master of the Jiang family is still unmarried.
You can decide for yourself when you get there. Even if you don't marry into the Jiang family, Uncle Jiang will take care of you. We'll talk about it after the storm has died down.
This is the safest way I can think of for you."
