Chapter 356 I Still Have Feelings for Him
On the day Xiao Jue was executed, Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to book a room in the best location next to the viewing platform.
Early in the morning, she left the two children to Xiao Jin and left the house.
Su Ying felt that she was a person who liked the atmosphere of everyday life, especially when she saw the officers escorting Xiao Jue in the prison car over. She was particularly excited to see the hustle and bustle.
She sat by the window, holding a handful of freshly roasted melon seeds in her hand. The steaming melon seeds made her feel even more fragrant when she saw Xiao Jue's gloomy face.
The streets were already crowded with people who came to watch the excitement, and they never imagined that the first time they would see what the eldest prince looked like would be when he was beheaded.
The moment he was sent to the execution ground, Xiao Jue finally panicked.
This development is wrong!
Why haven't the Queen Mother and the others come to rescue him yet? !
Looking at the Minister of Justice sitting on the chair, Xiao Jue's expression became even uglier.
The Minister of Justice looked at the sky and confirmed that the time was about right. He took out the command arrow and threw it to the ground, "Execute immediately!"
The long knife in the executioner's hand was shining with a cold silver light in the golden light.
Xiao Jue's eyes widened in horror. At the moment the executioner raised his hand, a black arrow flew out and accurately pierced the long knife in the executioner's hand.
The knife made a "bang" sound and was knocked back by the arrow feathers.
At this moment, a masked man hiding in the crowd rushed in with a knife drawn.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Justice immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to step forward to stop them.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Su Ying looked at the chaotic and screaming crowd, with a slight smile on her lips. The people in the Taifu Mansion were really patient and waited until today to take action.
The masked men seemed to be experts, and soon the officers and soldiers were at a disadvantage.
The masked man took advantage of the chaos and brought Xiao Jin into the crowd. The chaotic crowd further hindered the officers and soldiers' pursuit.
After Su Ying had finished looking at everything, she threw the melon seeds into the plate, turned around and walked downstairs.
She came out alone today, but since she was already out, she planned to visit her shop on the way.
When Su Ying turned the alley beside the teahouse and was about to walk to another street, she saw several masked men protecting Xiao Jue running towards them.
Xiao Jue saw Su Ying first. The moment their eyes met, Su Ying's expression paused slightly, and then she stopped.
The masked man saw Su Ying in front and thought she was blocking his way, and he was so alert that the hairs on his body stood up.
Su Ying glanced at them calmly and said, "If you don't want to die, get out."
The masked man was stunned. He didn't expect Su Ying to let them go.
Xiao Jue didn't expect that Su Ying didn't intend to take action. Could it be that she still has feelings for him?
Xiao Jue looked at Su Ying lovingly. If he wasn't still running for his life, he really wanted to run up to her and give her a response.
If Su Ying knew what he was thinking, she would definitely dig out his eyes!
If she hadn't planned to see a dog-eat-dog drama, she would have made him regret not dying at the hands of the executioner.
Xiao Jue had just left with the masked man when soldiers chased after them.
However, the officers and soldiers did not notice Su Ying, a woman, and rushed past her.
Su Ying walked out of the alley and turned to go to her shop. When passing by the dazzling shops on the street, Su Ying still couldn't resist the desire to shop. Now that she had money, she couldn't control the urge to put things in the space!
She has always been a person of action, so when she passed by a shop, she went in.
It took her a whole morning to walk down the street. Almost every shop owner saw her out with a smile, and she stopped only with satisfaction.
Su Ying put all the things into the space at the designated location before returning to the street.
"Help, help...ah!"
Su Ying had only taken two steps when a delicate woman fell down at her feet.
"Don't be afraid, bitch. If I catch you, I'm going to kill you!"
A few ruffians quickly caught up with the woman.
The woman was so frightened when she saw them chasing after her that she grabbed Su Ying's dress tightly, "Madam, please help me, Madam, please save me, please..."
The woman kept kowtowing to Su Ying, and her appearance was truly pitiful.
Soon, the ruffians ran over, grabbed the woman by the hair, threw her to the ground, and slapped her in the face. "You desperate bitch, you dare to run, I'll beat you to death!"
The woman screamed in fear, her pleading eyes always fixed on Su Ying, "Madam, save me, please, madam..."
Such a big commotion attracted a lot of people to watch, but few people dared to step forward because of the reckless man.
Seeing that the woman was about to be dragged away by the men, Su Ying slowly spoke, "How much is her silver? I'll buy her."
The rough man looked Su Ying up and down, then stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty taels of silver."
Fifty taels!
The onlookers all gasped. An ordinary maidservant of decent quality could be bought for only two taels of silver. How good must this person be to deserve fifty taels of silver?
Unexpectedly, Su Ying agreed without even thinking, "Okay, fifty taels, I'll buy it."
Su Ying took out a silver note from her pocket and threw it over.
The ruffian didn't expect Su Ying to give the money so readily. He took the banknote and checked to make sure it was ok before pushing the woman over.
"The man is yours." After saying that, the ruffians took the silver and left.
The woman staggered to Su Ying and knelt down, "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam. Mingyu will be yours from now on. Mingyu is willing to serve you like a slave."
There was no expression in Su Ying's eyes, she just asked her to stand up.
"Madam, Mingyu was chased by those people because her father owed gambling debts. Mingyu was given to them by her father as collateral. Now that Madam has bought Mingyu, she is yours. But there is still an old mother at home. Before leaving with Madam, can you go home with Mingyu to explain the situation to her mother? Mingyu is also worried that her mother will be worried. If her mother knew that Mingyu was with such a good Madam, she would definitely feel relieved."
This request didn't sound excessive, so Su Ying didn't refuse.
"good."
Seeing that Su Ying agreed, Mingyu was very happy and thanked her profusely. She took Su Ying to an alley at the intersection in front.
The alley extends into a dead end, with only an inconspicuous house at the end. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see it.
"Mingyu's home is just ahead."
Mingyu walked in front, and looked back at Su Ying from time to time, as if she was afraid that Su Ying would be lost.
Soon, the two of them walked outside the house.
Just as Mingyu was about to knock on the door, her eyes became fierce and she suddenly turned around and pounced towards Su Ying.
A hint of coldness flashed across Su Ying's eyes. She grabbed her hands and twisted them behind her back, then kicked her and slammed her face against the wall.
“It was a good performance.”
