Chapter 33: A bit like Lanling King
Ji Zixuan also helped him and said, "Yes, Miss Chen, if you don't want him, he will just go back to the hell. Miss Chen is willing to help, so I think she has a good impression of him. As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, and Miss Chen redeemed him. It's fate, so you should take him back to the mansion. If you don't want to cause trouble, just let him be a servant."
Ji Zixuan made a gesture to silence her and said, "Don't worry, Miss Shen. I will keep my mouth shut about what happened today."
"What's your name?" Shen Junheng asked after pondering for a moment.
The actor answered seriously, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Yu."
Shen Junheng is not a person who is easily moved by emotions, but this time he nodded for some unknown reason.
Lin Yu was delighted.
Shen Junheng said calmly, "I'm short of a toilet cleaner in my house. Are you willing to do it?"
"Yes!" Lin Yu answered firmly, sounding as if he had won some rare and good job.
Liu Xiaodie couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Junheng asked him, "Do you know any girl in this Zuichunlou who is obedient and dutiful?"
Lin Yu was stunned and shook his head in confusion.
Ji Xiaoxuan said, "I know. I just saw a girl named Ziyuan who looked very obedient and well behaved. Miss Chen wants to redeem her as well and bring her back to the mansion to be a maid?"
Shen Junheng said to Liu Xiaodie with a half-smile, "Go find Jiu Niang and redeem Miss Ziyuan."
"Yes." Liu Xiaodie turned around and went to find Jiu Niang.
After a while, Liu Xiaodie came over with Ziyuan.
Lin Yu glanced at Zi Yuan with a hint of hostility, but Zi Yuan just lowered her head and pretended not to see it.
Lin Yu didn't know why Shen Junheng also wanted to bring Ziyuan back to the mansion. Judging from her appearance, the mansion didn't seem to be short of maids. Besides, who would come to the brothel specifically to buy a maid?
"Let's go." Shen Junheng said to Liu Xiaodie and others.
"Let's go together." Ji Zixuan said, and without waiting for her answer, she took Liu Xiaodie's wrist and followed Shen Junheng.
Liu Xiaodie was stunned, feeling a shock she had never experienced before. Ji Zixuan was, after all, a daughter of an official family, and there was a difference between them. Yet, she was so intimately holding her hand. Even though she and the young lady had grown up together, she had never been so close to her.
As Shen Junheng and others walked out of the gate of Zuichunlou, a group of masked men suddenly jumped out from the roof of a nearby building and attacked them with weapons in their hands.
"Murder!" The crowd was immediately frightened and scattered like birds and beasts.
Shen Junheng was horrified. This group of villains were so arrogant. They dared to commit crimes in broad daylight under the feet of the emperor!
Shen Junheng quickly calmed down and backed away while shouting to Ji Zixuan, "Hurry into Zuichunlou!"
Zuichunlou had been operating in the capital for seven or eight years, and its clientele was often high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The owner behind the scenes must have been quite prominent. Such a brothel must have employed a powerful group of thugs.
But those villains were so cruel that as soon as Shen Junheng turned around, one of them suddenly stabbed her in the back with a sword.
The villain attacked swiftly and ruthlessly. Shen Junheng had no time to dodge. The tip of the sword was about to pierce her body. Suddenly, Lin Yu arrived in time and pushed her forward. The sword pierced his arm, and a deep and long wound appeared on his arm. The blood flowed down his arm, which was shocking.
Shen Junheng was pushed by him and staggered forward a few steps and fell to the ground.
She was shocked and quickly stood up. When she turned around, she saw Ji Zixuan was stabbed twice and fainted on the ground. Lin Yu was covered in blood and stood in front of her, fighting with the gangster with his bare hands.
His brave and fearless posture really has some of the style of Lanling King.
Is he willing to sacrifice his life to protect someone?
The plot of sacrificing one's life to save someone in a novel was unexpectedly happening to him. Shen Junheng was deeply moved. She and he had just met, and she was only helping him redeem himself. Was it worth risking his life to save him?
Liu Xiaodie and Zi Yuan hid under the table, trembling.
Jiu Niang finally rushed over with Zuichunlou's thugs and engaged in a fierce fight with these criminals.
When these villains saw Ji Zixuan lying in a pool of blood, they didn't want to fight anymore and quickly retreated.
"Call a doctor quickly!" Jiu Niang quickly helped Ji Zixuan up.
Liu Xiaodie crawled out from under the table and together with Jiu Niang helped Ji Zixuan into the room.
"You're badly injured." Shen Junheng walked up to Lin Yu, his eyes filled with concern and gratitude. "Thank you for blocking the sword for me just now."
"I..." Lin Yu spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Yu, who had just been fighting bravely with the bad guys, suddenly seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his body softened and fell on Shen Junheng.
Shen Junheng was caught off guard. The sudden weight on her body caused her to lose her balance for a moment. She staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground.
Shen Junheng frowned slightly and struggled to help him sit down on a chair nearby.
"Can you still hold on?" Shen Junheng frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Yu nodded weakly and leaned forward. Shen Junheng hurriedly supported him, and he leaned his head on her shoulder.
She felt a strange throbbing in her heart. She thought it must be because she was not used to being so close to others, so she was nervous. But he was injured while saving her, so she couldn't push him away.
He was of low status, so the people in Zuichunlou naturally wouldn't let doctors treat his injuries. With such a big incident happening, the officials would probably come soon.
Shen Junheng also didn't trust the people in Zuichunlou and didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he thought about leaving the place quickly.
Liu Xiaodie hurried over and asked her with concern in her eyes if she was hurt.
Shen Junheng shook his head and asked indifferently about Ji Zixuan's injury.
Liu Xiaodie said that Ji Zixuan was not injured in any vital parts and her life was not in danger.
Shen Junheng nodded, and asked Ziyuan to come over. Together with Liu Xiaodie, they helped Lin Yu up and left Zuichunlou.
They got on the carriage and drove away quickly.
As soon as he arrived at Fanshuiju, Shen Junheng ordered someone to quickly call a doctor.
"Miss, should we help him to the newly built building or the backyard?" Liu Xiaodie asked cautiously.
Liu Xiaodie thought to herself, hey, after playing with Princess Chenghuan for so long, the young lady finally started keeping a lover.
But this man is really brave. He even dares to block the sword for the young lady. The young lady is lucky.
Shen Junheng glanced at Liu Xiaodie and said, "Of course it's the backyard."
Liu Xiaodie and Zi Yuan helped Lin Yu to an empty room in the backyard.
Shen Junheng also followed in and sat down beside the bed.
Lin Yu was seriously injured, with his clothes punctured in several places. Seeing the deep blood stains on his clothes, Shen Junheng couldn't help but frown.
Lin Yu's face was pale, and he smiled weakly at her, "Don't worry, Miss. I'm strong and I won't die."
Shen Junheng looked at him and said calmly, "Why did you save me?"
Shen Junheng's help to him was just a piece of cake, but he blocked the sword for her, which was a life-saving favor.
She didn't think that just because she did a little favor it was worth him risking his life to save her.
She wondered what his motives were.
