"elder sister!"
Donghua squatted down in front of Yang Cai'e, looking at her body with a face full of worry.
However, her gaze was fixed on Zhao Cheng, who was slowly walking behind Dong Hua.
"You really came..." Yang Cai'e thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud. She hugged Dong Hua tightly and said, "I almost got arrested again."
Donghua patted Yang Cai'e on the back and said, "Don't worry, sister, you are now the master's person. No one can bully you!"
Nine Fingers glanced at Zhao Cheng and the other two, and shouted, "Who are you people? How dare you meddle in my business? Do you know who my master is?"
Zhao Wu walked towards the nine fingers and said, "This Yan Chuan City doesn't have a lord yet..."
"Ahem!" Before Zhao Wu could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng quickly coughed to interrupt him, then gave Zhao Wu a wink and glanced at the crowd behind them.
Zhao Wu understood; there was no need to reveal his identity as a member of the Right Prime Minister's Office when dealing with this kind of thug.
Zhao Cheng said disdainfully, "I thought you'd say you know who my father is? I didn't expect you to talk about your master. You're really a dog relying on its master's power! Tell me, who is your master?"
Nine Fingers pointed at Yang Cai'e and said, "This lowly maid was bought by my young master. If you help her now, you are going against my young master!"
It turned out he was one of Wang Yufeng's men. Zhao Cheng knew what was going on and deliberately said, "I don't know anything about this young general. I only know that Miss Cai'e is one of my people."
"I thought he was some important figure. He doesn't even know who this young general is? How dare he come out and stand up for others?"
Although Nine Fingers was tough on the outside, he had witnessed Zhao Wu's ferocity and dared not make a move. He left after uttering a harsh threat: "Kid, you're finished!"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu swung his arm, and the scabbard flew out and shot towards Jiu Zhi's knee, causing Jiu Zhi to immediately kneel down.
"Ouch!"
"Donghua, help Cai'e up." Zhao Cheng walked up to Jiuzhi and said, "Didn't you hear me? I said, Cai'e is my person. You hit my person, and you think you can just run away like that?"
Nine Fingers looked up and asked, "So what do you want?"
Zhao Cheng looked at Yang Cai'e and asked, "How did he hit you just now?"
Yang Cai'e said, "He slapped me across the face."
"Come here, and fight back with your own hands."
"ah?"
"What, you're afraid?"
"I……"
Seeing Yang Cai'e's hesitant look, Zhao Cheng said sternly, "You are no longer a slave. You have to swallow your anger even when someone slaps you. What kind of freedom is this?"
Upon hearing the word "freedom," Yang Cai'e felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She immediately walked up to Jiu Zhi and slapped him back.
Still not satisfied, she slapped him again, saying, "This is interest!"
Zhao Cheng smiled slightly.
He dislikes people who dawdle and is even less willing to help a useless person.
Nine Fingers looked like he had given up and said, "I've already fought you, can you let me go now?"
Zhao Cheng asked, "What's your name?"
"Nine fingers!"
"That's quite a vivid description."
Zhao Cheng glanced at the nine-fingered hands and continued, "Zhao Wu, remember him. If he dares to retaliate, chop off the little finger of his other hand as well, so he becomes an eight-fingered person."
"yes!"
Zhao Wu kicked Nine Fingers in the back and shouted, "Get lost!"
Seeing Nine Fingers flee in panic, the people gathered at the alley entrance cheered in unison.
"good!!!"
Zhao Cheng disliked being ostentatious, so he quickly left.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Nine Fingers peeked out from around the corner not far away, rubbed his swollen face, and said, "You two follow him and see where he lives. I'll go gather the brothers!"
"Boss, his bodyguard is very skilled..."
"No matter how skilled you are, can you outnumber us?"
"What I mean is, with such skilled guards, his identity is probably not simple."
"Why are you spouting so much nonsense?" Nine Fingers kicked his underling away and shouted, "General Wang has been transferred to Changsui. Young Master is not what he used to be. With him backing us up, what are we afraid of!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Nine Fingers said with a gloomy face, "I must offer Cai'e to the young general. This is my only chance to turn things around!"
...
After returning home, Yang Cai'e's mood gradually calmed down, and the way she looked at Zhao Cheng was different from before.
Yang Cai'e vividly recalled her feelings on the street just now.
Seeing the winter paintings warmed my heart.
But when I saw Zhao Cheng walking over, I felt a great sense of security!
This man truly cares about the people around him!
"Wang Yufeng's matter hasn't been resolved yet, so don't go out alone for the time being."
"I see."
"There's something else I need to tell you. Donghua and I have discussed it, and we're going to give you a job..."
Before Zhao Cheng could finish speaking, Yang Cai'e shook her head immediately upon hearing that she was to be assigned work.
This left Zhao Cheng somewhat bewildered, and she asked, "Isn't it good to have your own job instead of being a maid?"
"I don't want to go!" Yang Cai'e shook her head like a rattle drum.
Donghua was also surprised and asked in confusion, "Sister, why?"
Yang Cai'e hesitated for a long time before lowering her head and saying, "I don't want to go to a brothel..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cheng immediately burst into laughter.
Donghua couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Cai'e asked suspiciously.
"Who told you to go to a brothel? If you want to go, I wouldn't let you!"
Yang Cai'e asked in confusion, "Then what kind of work could I possibly have?"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Aren't you a fan of Jin Yong? Would you like to meet him?"
