Shili Pavilion.
Li Wenxiu paced back and forth anxiously, "Why haven't they arrived yet? Xiaohua, did you find anything wrong?"
The maid Xiaohua nodded, "That's right, that's right. Everyone says it's today. The palace sent people to set up camp at Wuliting yesterday."
Li Wenxiu endured the longing, her eyes yearning for more.
Suddenly, several imperial guards rode by.
"Look, young lady, they are the Imperial Guards. They must be on their way to welcome the young prince."
Li Wenxiu nodded, lifted her skirt, and ran to the roadside, standing on tiptoe to continue being the "waiting-for-husband stone."
“Miss, we don’t have much time left. The eldest daughter can’t cover for long. If Madam finds out that you’ve left the manor without permission again…”
"I know, I know," Li Wenxiu replied dismissively, thinking that at worst she would just have to go back and copy books as punishment.
Not long after, the Imperial Guards returned to Wuliting to reply to the letter.
Li Wenxiu stood on tiptoe, "There's smoke and dust behind us, is that them?...It's them!"
Military flags can already be seen flying.
Five thousand men rode at a slow trot, carrying the triumphant spirit of a great victory, like a mighty army approaching with overwhelming force.
"Hey? Your Highness, someone's waving over there."
Huo Baijun, with his sharp eyes, spotted a familiar figure. "Is it... Miss Wenxiu?"
Xiao Zhixing naturally saw it as well.
She frowned. What was Li Wenxiu doing here? It seemed she had come specifically to wait for her.
She sped up and ran over, arriving close by.
Li Wenxiu rushed over, almost bursting into tears of joy, nearly hitting Ye Ti with her clumsiness. "Sister Zhixing, sob sob, please go and save Sister Rushu, please..."
Xiao Zhixing quickly dismounted and helped her up, saying, "Speak slowly, there's no rush."
Li Wenxiu gripped her hand tightly, her face flushed with anxiety, but she was also infected by her composure and quickly calmed herself down, saying:
“Feng Hui has been harassing Sister Rushu by forcing her into marriage every day. The Lin family has been unable to bear it and has refused him time and time again. Unexpectedly, this man has joined forces with the third branch of the Lin family to scheme against Sister Rushu and frame her for having an affair with him. Today, he will come to force her into marriage again.”
“In the Lin family now… no one is willing to help Sister Rushu, sob sob, she doesn’t want to trouble others either… but as long as you can save her, I will serve you like a slave to repay you.”
Xiao Zhixing patted her on the shoulder and said, "Silly girl, she's my friend too. You don't need to be her slave."
She turned around and said, "Huo Baijun, take a hundred men to the Lin residence. Do nothing else but surround the Lin residence. No one is allowed to enter without my order."
"If the evildoers are already inside, drag them all out and let me deal with them."
She had previously caught a glimpse of Lin Rushu in the camera's view, and every time she saw her, she could still respond to Feng Ying's past actions, so she stopped paying attention to the matter.
Unexpectedly, this person became even more arrogant.
Huo Baijun, a former spoiled young man, is the most suitable person to deal with Feng Hui.
She needs to meet with Luo Mangong first before she can go over there.
Huo Baijun responded loudly, "Alright, watch me! Anyone who dares to bully Miss Rushu, I'll beat him to a pulp!"
He selected a hundred brothers and, without waiting for Li Wenxiu, headed straight for the Lin residence from the west gate.
Li Wenxiu hurriedly boarded the carriage and followed after them.
Xiao Zhixing led his men to the North Gate and arrived at Wuliting.
Luo Mangong greeted him with a smile, "Young Prince, this old servant is here to await you on His Majesty's orders. You all have had a long journey home. Please freshen up and rest for the night, and you will enter the capital to pay your respects to His Majesty tomorrow."
Xiao Zhixing bowed from horseback and said, "Eunuch Luo, you've worked hard. Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
After a long and dusty journey, everyone definitely needs to freshen up before they can show their best.
Luo Mangong looked at the well-organized and disciplined troops, his smile deepening. "Of course, of course. His Majesty is pleased. There will be a grand ceremony to enter the city tomorrow. Young Prince, please follow this old servant into the camp."
Luo Mangong prepared delicious food and wine for everyone, as well as new armor and military uniforms.
"Master!" As soon as she arrived at her tent, Xuemei and several maids came out to greet her, overjoyed.
"My lord, hurry, freshen up! The prince is eagerly awaiting your arrival in the capital, and everyone is looking forward to seeing your majestic figure tomorrow, so we must dress up properly."
Xiao Zhixing waved his hand, "Wait a minute, I need to go into the city, we'll talk when I get back."
While Xiong Chumo and Ji Bai led the others to rest on the spot, she leaped onto Blood Night and headed into the city alone towards the Lin residence, keeping an eye on the situation.
[Here they come, the villains are here!]
I really want to tear him to pieces. How can there be such a disgusting person in the world?
[Quickly, Your Highness, go and play the hero to save the damsel in distress! Cut down Feng Hui with one stroke!]
Huo Baijun arrived first at the entrance of the Lin residence.
Only after the soldiers surrounded the Lin residence and blocked the gate did Feng Hui arrive with a group of people carrying more than ten loads of betrothal gifts in a grand manner.
"Hey, Huo Baijun, what do you mean by this? Did you come all this way back to congratulate me on marrying my sweetheart?"
His first words had that sinister, manipulative tone.
Huo Baijun looked him over, somewhat puzzled. Although Feng Hui had been arrogant and domineering before, he didn't have this kind of imposing manner as a son of a concubine.
Today, seeing him looking so respectable, he even has the air of a legitimate heir.
He rolled his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no one in the Lin family who's got your sweetheart. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
As a former leader of the spoiled rich kids in the capital, he looked down on such a vicious thing as Feng Hui.
Even spoiled brats have their own style. Being good at playing games is a skill, but they disdain the evil ways of bullying the weak.
Feng Hui glanced at the menacing soldiers, flicked his sleeves, and sneered, "Fine, today I'll make her marry me."
With a wave of his hand, a servant brought him a chair, which he sat down and waved back.
A man who looked like a butler shouted at the gate of the Lin residence, "Miss Lin, you and my young master were so happy when you met under the moon, how can you deny it now?"
