Gu Chengyan knew something was wrong, but before he could stop her, Yin Jin'an pulled on the reins, and the horse's hooves rose high, stomping down on Guan Yingying.
Ah~
Guan Yingying screamed, and the horse spun around and trampled her again.
"You tyrants who oppress the people, do you even have a shred of law in your eyes? You treat human life like dirt... Ah~"
Not only him, but Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin also lashed out with whips.
Guan Yingying screamed, which terrified Gu Jiaojiao, who huddled in the car and desperately shouted to the driver, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
The horses in the carriage were also startled and started pulling the carriage around wildly.
Gu Chengyan had already dismounted, protecting Guan Yingying, and pleaded with Yin Jin'an and Li Yunmu, "Second Young Master Yin, we can talk things over. How could you hit someone so casually?"
Li Yunmu threw the servant he had beaten to death in front of Gu Chengyan.
“Young Master Gu, your servants are quite capable, inciting this damned bastard to betray his master and insisting on talking about equality with me.”
Yin Jin'an didn't say anything more and turned to Gu Chengyan, saying, "Five thousand taels! Your servant poked my horse's hoof!"
Yuanyuan watched as Yin Jin'an and his group rode off in pursuit. She hurriedly returned to the carriage, untied the horse from the post, and rode after them.
Yin Jin'an had a volatile temper, she knew that, but she didn't expect it to be this tragic.
From afar, they saw Yin Jin'an directly trampling on "Wealth and Honor," while Gu Chengyan used his own body to protect Guan Yingying.
Both of them were trampled by the horse's hooves, their faces and heads covered in blood.
Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin then whipped the two men with horsewhips.
She was still quite alarmed; Gu Shizi's feelings for this "Wang Fugui" were truly extraordinary!
The incident escalated so much that people on the street gathered to watch the spectacle.
The street official came over and quickly pulled Yin Jin'an and the others apart, saying all sorts of nice things before they stopped.
Guan Yingying was so frightened that she was out of her mind, clutching her head, her face covered in tears and snot.
As the rouge and powder on her face fell off, Gu Chengyan became even more terrified; she couldn't let anyone see her face.
He took off his outer robe and covered her head and face with it, pleading, "Young Master Yin, let's find a place to talk. We'll discuss how much compensation to pay."
Yin Jin'an said, "What's there to talk about? This treacherous servant is inciting people. Even a dog of a servant dares to directly question his master. If things go wrong, he might even dare to kill his master tomorrow. What's the point of talking! Either hand over the money, or we'll go see the officials."
How could Gu Chengyan dare to go see the official?
Guan Yingying couldn't say a word. Gu Chengyan covered her mouth and said, "Fine, I'll pay whatever you say you'll pay."
"You've ruined my horse's hoof, five thousand taels."
Li Yunmu said, "That scoundrel almost killed me. I'll pay him five thousand taels to calm his nerves."
Zhou Lingyin also said, "I also have five thousand taels."
Guan Yingying was furious. Five thousand taels per person, that's fifteen thousand taels! Her two general stores are doing so well, and she only makes six hundred taels a year.
She bought that courtyard in the south of the city for only fifty taels of silver.
Fifteen thousand taels was half a lifetime's income for her.
However, Gu Chengyan could only agree: "Okay, I will present it to you later. Give me a few days and I will definitely deliver it to your door."
Seeing that he agreed readily, Yin Jin'an didn't linger. With a "giddle," he spurred his horse and rode off.
Gu Chengyan picked up Guan Yingying, mounted her on his horse, and dared not return to the Marquis's residence. He circled around several times until he found no one was following him, then rode to the South City.
Guan Yingying suffered injuries to her bones and internal organs, and after being jostled all the way, she had already passed out.
Gu Chengyan hurried to the pharmacy and called the doctor who was on duty to his home to treat Guan Yingying's injuries. Guan Yingying woke up in pain during the bone setting.
After the doctor left, Guan Yingying cried loudly, and the crying made her wound hurt again.
Gu Chengyan held her hand and comforted her for a long time, saying, "Don't cry. Today's events are all my fault. I always thought you wouldn't go out and interact with people, so I didn't tell you to stay away from these playboys."
Guan Yingying was in excruciating pain all over her body; even breathing heavily was painful.
"Even if it's the privileged class, how can they bully ordinary people like this, and the government doesn't do anything about it?"
“Yingying, those three, two from Duke’s mansions and one from Prince’s mansion, how dare the government offend them?” He held Guan Yingying’s hand tenderly and said, “It’s different from your hometown now. Here, masters are masters and servants are servants.”
Guan Yingying closed her eyes for a long time, not knowing why, but Yin Jin'an's extremely handsome face kept flashing in front of her.
"Who's that guy in the brocade robe with floral patterns? Why is he so violent?"
"Are you talking about Yin Jin'an? He is the second son of the Duke of Xun, the number one playboy in the capital. He goes to the arena most often every day and watches the barbarian slaves being eaten by tigers and leopards without blinking. His heart is the coldest and hardest."
The Duke of Xun's mansion has three legitimate sons. The eldest son inherits the title, the third son is pampered, and Yin Jin'an is the second son, who is a nobody who is neither loved by his maternal grandparents nor his paternal uncles.
He roams around like a prostitute, murders and dalliances; he's the worst kind of scoundrel in the capital!
Guan Yingying's initial anger was miraculously soothed. She clicked her tongue; wasn't this the quintessential beautiful, strong, and tragic villain from a novel—perfect for a transmigrated woman to subdue as a male supporting character?
She went out for a short while and unexpectedly ran into them!
The Duke of Xun is a much higher rank than a Marquis; he's a top figure in the capital!
“I must bring him back. If I can bring him back, he will definitely be a loyal and helpful person.”
There are plenty of people like this in novels; once tamed, they will be loyal no matter where they are.
She was confident that with her advanced civilization, which was over a thousand years ahead of its time, she would eventually be able to tame this brutal boy.
While hissing in pain, he secretly devised a taming plan.
The first step is still to go out and make money, make money, make money!!!
