Chapter 256 Are you here to ask me to bestow a marriage upon you?
"That brat, she's grown up so well. I should have known better than to sell her back then. If I had kept her, I might have been able to sell her for a high price."
As the man watched the carriage depart, he was so engrossed in the game that he could hardly contain himself. He couldn't help but rub his hands together in a lewd manner.
His sister was a good-for-nothing, she didn't let them enjoy their lives, but luckily she gave birth to a daughter who looks just like her, and is obviously useful.
"Such a big carriage, and a coachman, do you think she's really become a rich man's daughter?"
The woman spat in disgust, "Any royal woman who comes out of a place like that will have her reputation ruined, let alone what she is. She's probably just someone's kept mistress."
"Rich people like to raise their children from a young age and then play with them when they're older. I reckon this little slut will be the same."
The man turned to look at her. "If that's the case, then even if we recognize the person, it'll be useless."
"I'm just saying this. You've already found out, haven't you? That little hussy is a girl from the Lin family. It doesn't matter if she's young or not. Look at her, she's dressed in gold and silver, she must be living a very comfortable life."
The woman slapped the man, looking displeased. "Shut up your act, you're going to be enjoying yourself with this little slut later!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
The man smiled as he watched the carriage depart.
Their good days are just around the corner.
"You all listen to me. No one is allowed to run around. If you do, I'll send you back immediately."
When the carriage reached a deserted area in the suburbs, Chu Xiujie ordered the carriage to be driven away and then led away three fast horses.
"Lord Chu is truly impressive!"
Er Ya got off the carriage in a sarcastic tone.
Chu Xiujie wouldn't stoop to the level of a little girl; Er Ya's words were always unpleasant to hear.
"Are you able to ride a horse?" Chu Xiujie asked Daya.
Of the three girls, she was the quietest and didn't talk much.
Da Ya nodded.
Sanya was the first to mount a horse. "You shouldn't ask my eldest sister that question; you should ask my second sister. My second sister is the worst at riding!"
"Sanya, why don't you say your handwriting is the ugliest? Even my feet are better written than yours!"
"Hehehe." Sanya rode off first.
Chu Xiujie looked at Daya, "You can write with your feet? Really?"
Da Ya blushed and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense."
The four of them rode their horses to the village.
The scenery on this estate is quite nice. Chu Xiujie has only been here once before. He came here to slack off, and he brought these three girls along just to find an excuse to be lazy.
Before the four men had even entered the village on horseback, someone suddenly rushed out and plunged a knife into the horse that Da Ya was riding.
The horse was startled and galloped off in an instant. Da Ya, who was riding on the horse, lost her balance and was thrown off.
"careful!"
Chu Xiujie jumped off his horse and slid down to his knees to barely catch the person.
When she was hugged tightly, Da Ya felt as if her heart had stopped beating for a moment.
"Are you alright? Were you scared out of your wits?" Chu Xiujie put the person down and looked up to see that the person from before was gone.
"Big sister, big sister!"
Er Ya and San Ya rushed over upon hearing the news.
"I'm fine." Daya came to her senses, her legs feeling a little weak.
"Someone must have done this on purpose." Chu Xiujie blew into his mouth with a dark face.
Soon two masked men appeared. "Send them both back. I'll take your eldest sister to see the Lord. These people are far too arrogant."
Judging from the man's attire, he seemed to be a farmer, so investigating him would be troublesome. He needed to consult with King Jing first.
"I……"
"Ah!" Daya screamed softly as she was pulled onto the horse and sat in front of Chu Xiujie.
The horse started running, and Daya instinctively grabbed Chu Xiujie's sleeve. "I haven't even said I was going yet, and you've already taken me away."
"Giddy up!" Chu Xiujie cracked his whip. "Haha, I told you not to speak so slowly. If you don't want to go, remember to speak faster next time."
Sitting on the horse, listening to the sound of the wind, Daya's heart gradually calmed down.
Er Ya and San Ya: ? ? ?
They just took the eldest sister away like that, what about the others?
The guard said, "Ladies, I will escort you back."
...
...
"Little pig, why did you bring this girl here? Are you begging me to grant you a marriage?"
King Jing was meticulously wiping his sword inch by inch with a velvet cloth when he saw Chu Xiujie bring a pretty young girl. He immediately put the sword down and became intrigued.
"You've finally come to your senses, lad, and want to settle down. This girl is truly wonderful; she's clearly a good woman. I will bestow a marriage upon you both right now!"
"Cough cough, Master, open your eyes and look carefully! This is Lin Anyuan's daughter! Do you really want me to die even faster? If Lin Anyuan hears this, he'll chop me into mincemeat!" Chu Xiujie's eyes widened, and he almost choked on his own saliva.
King Jing stroked his chin and chuckled, "Wrong, it's even finer than minced meat; it might just turn into meat paste."
"Master, have some shame!" Chu Xiujie's face darkened. "How could I be so beastly as to lay a hand on a little girl?"
Lin Anyuan could really strangle him.
That person is incredibly cunning.
"Little girl, please sit down. I was just joking. I hope I didn't frighten you." King Jing had someone offer Daya a seat.
Daya bowed and sat down, cautiously looking at Prince Jing.
Chu Xiujie recounted the events.
Prince Jing scoffed, "These people must have heard the news of Lin Anyuan's southward journey, so they couldn't wait to come and kidnap his family."
They have enough reach, but no one to use them, so they came up with such a despicable method.
Chu Xiujie suddenly realized, "Oh no, isn't Madam Ye in danger?"
Prince Jing couldn't resist teasing him again, "Little pig, are you worried about Lady Ye? Do you really want to be chopped into mincemeat?"
Chu Xiujie: "...My lord, what kind of time is this to still be in the mood for jokes?"
The most urgent task should be to protect the safety of Lin Anyuan's family.
Otherwise, if someone fights for you and their wife and daughters get into trouble right under your nose, how can you face your loyal general?
“I’ll send you a few more men. I’m entrusting this matter to you. By the way, how is your injury?” King Jing asked.
Chu Xiujie was seriously injured and had been recuperating for more than a month before he appeared in public. He was unable to get out of bed before that.
"They're almost ready to live."
Daya listened silently. So this person was injured. No wonder she seemed to smell a faint scent of blood on horseback earlier.
After accomplishing a few important tasks, King Jing waved his hand and said, "Alright, send that young lady back properly. Honestly, you could have come by yourself, but you brought Lin Anyuan's daughter along, ruining my mood."
Chu Xiujie pretended not to understand and left with Da Ya.
As soon as they left Prince Jing's Hall of Diligent Governance, Daya couldn't help but speak up.
"Your name is Little Pig?"
