Chapter 128 No filth shall come within three feet of the lady.
As the man walked forward, his eyes lewdly scanned Yu Nian's body. She was truly a delicate beauty; even with a veil, her bright, alluring eyes were enough to reveal her allure.
People around whispered among themselves that the entire Dongming Street was the territory of the Black Panther Gang, especially their leader, Wang Biao, who often bullied men and women here.
This woman is so delicate and frail; she's bound to be in trouble if she faces Wang Biao.
The crowd gasped and involuntarily took a few steps back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Yu Nian stood firmly in place, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
Yu Nian's calm demeanor made Wang Biao pause for a moment, but only for a brief pause. He had been lording it over people here for years and had never failed before, and today would be no exception.
She's just a young woman, what can she do to him?
"Young lady, you hit me with something, shouldn't you make amends?"
Wang Biao couldn't help but feel a surge of desire as he looked at the beautiful woman who was within his grasp.
Wang Biao quickened his pace as he took a step, but just before his next foot landed, a dark shadow flashed out, its swift movement kicking up a cloud of dust.
He turned sideways and kicked out with his leg!
Wang Biao's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto an egg stall a few meters away.
Wang Biao's hair was so thick that he didn't even see his opponent's face before he was kicked away.
The egg shattered, and a sticky, bright yellow liquid stained Wang Biao's clothes and hair, emitting a faint fishy smell. He looked utterly disheveled.
"By order of the lord! No filth shall come within three feet of the Lady; anyone who disobeys shall be executed on the spot!"
Hai Yan's expression was sharp and his voice was firm. The murderous aura emanating from him, belonging to the Eastern Depot, permeated the surroundings, frightening everyone into running away like startled birds, forgetting all about the excitement.
As expected of someone under Chunyu Han, he may have a bad temper, but his skills are indeed impressive.
Yu Nian was confident in her abilities. Chunyu Han had sent Hai Yan to follow her, so he would naturally protect her. Therefore, even though she was powerless, she was not worried at all.
I just didn't expect Chunyu Han's orders to be so harsh. Well, that's actually quite in line with his style.
Wang Biao opened his mouth to curse, but when he wiped the egg yolk off his face and looked closely, all the foul language died in his stomach.
He didn't recognize any adults, but he recognized the uniform of the Imperial Guard and the goose-feathered sword that could take his head at any moment!
Wang Biao was in a daze and didn't have time to think about how such an important person could appear in this poor area. He scrambled to his feet and ran away.
He cared about nothing but escaping for his life.
"Hmph! Coward..."
Haiyan hadn't even drawn his sword, and this coward was already so scared. How boring.
"Chuntao, give them the money for the eggs and vegetables."
In her haste, she could only grab a cabbage from a nearby stall, and she didn't forget the poor egg stall owner either.
"This money will be deducted from your wages later."
Yu Nian walked past Hai Yan and whispered something.
With Haiyan's skills, he could have kicked that thug anywhere he wanted, but he deliberately kicked his things, which was rather unethical.
Hai Yan's lips twitched, and he snorted again. The Prime Minister's mansion is so wealthy and powerful, how could this eldest daughter be so stingy! He was just protecting her, she really doesn't know what's good for her.
Yu Nian helped Yu Qiao, who was curled up on the ground, up and brushed the dust off his body. These people were really ruthless.
"Second brother, are you injured? I'll take you to the pharmacy to have a look."
Yu Qiao was still clutching those items tightly in his arms, and Jingzhe was rubbing against him.
If his crafts and cat are both fine, then he's fine.
"I'm fine, thank you, Xiao Wu."
Yu Qiao lowered her head deeply, her tone as light as a child who had done something wrong.
No older brother wants his younger sister to see such a shameful side of him, and Yu Qiao was no exception.
How could he be alright after being hit so many times? Knowing Yu Qiao's personality, he wouldn't want to cause Yu Nian any trouble.
"Alright, let's go back first."
Yu Nian didn't pressure Yu Qiao; she simply helped him up and quietly helped him pack his things.
"Haiyan, go buy a bottle of liniment for bruises and sprains."
Yu Nian didn't mean to distract Hai Yan; she just felt that Hai Yan should know better than Chun Tao which ointment was suitable for this kind of external injury.
Haiyan: "..."
He, a dignified second-rank Imperial Guard of the Eastern Depot, has now fallen to the point of running errands for her. If word gets out, his colleagues will laugh their heads off.
Haiyan was annoyed, but he still went to buy it. It wasn't worth it if Yu Nian went to the adults to complain about him over such a small matter.
After packing her things, Yu Qiao picked up the few copper coins that had fallen into the dust, blew on them, and carefully put them back into her purse.
Yu Nian saw this small gesture and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Despite his seemingly weak appearance, Yu Qiao was actually quite resilient. Even in his current state, he refused to return to the manor and accept the path that Yu Huaifeng had paved for him.
Yu Nian asked the driver for help to move the things into the yard.
The salary Haiyan sent to the Prime Minister's residence was not recorded in the residence's register. Yu Nian gave it to Yu Qiao so that her father wouldn't find out.
With these things, Yu Qiao at least wouldn't have to worry about food.
"Xiao Wu, why did you bring so much stuff..."
The pain in her body made Yu Qiao afraid to exert herself, and her voice was even softer than usual.
"This is considered a deposit for making the puppets. Second brother, please don't think it's too little."
Yu Nian smiled lightly. How could Yu Qiao not see that Yu Nian didn't want him to feel burdened?
"Come and see, I've done everything you asked me to do."
When Yu Qiao's doll was mentioned, his eyes indeed lit up.
"No rush, eat something first, we can look at it after the medicine is applied."
Yu Nian pressed Yu Qiao into a chair and made sure he was seated. If her second brother were in her time, he would definitely be a workaholic.
Chun Tao brought Yu Qiao a steaming basket of buns. The steam made Yu Qiao's delicate features more attractive, and he then realized that he hadn't eaten yet.
Yu Nian sat next to Yu Qiao and clearly heard his stomach rumble, but instead of eating first, Yu Qiao called out "Awakening of Insects" first.
I broke the first bun open, blew on it, and placed it in the cat food bowl designated for the Jingzhe Festival.
Yu Nian's eyes softened. When she first saw Jingzhe, she knew it had been carefully cared for. Judging from this, Yu Qiao would rather go hungry herself than let Jingzhe go hungry.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Xiao Wu."
Seeing that Jingzhe was enjoying her food, Yu Qiao picked up a steamed bun herself and began to eat it slowly and carefully.
Although she had left the Prime Minister's residence, Yu Qiao had not lost her demeanor and manners.
What an interesting person.
Yu Nian didn't watch Yu Qiao eat, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so she got up first and went to play with the things on his shelf.
When Haiyan returned, Chuntao helped Yuqiao apply the medicated oil.
After lifting her outer garment, Chun Tao felt her breath catch in her throat, and she almost dropped the medicinal oil in her hand.
