Chapter 480: Cutting the Wind (4)
When Cheng Ruoying woke up, she was already in the county magistrate's mansion.
Sitting next to him was my father's concubine, Aunt Tian.
Aunt Tian was the one who persuaded my father to marry the bride price two years ago. She is a very honest person.
"Miss, you're awake." Aunt Tian wiped her tears and stood up to take care of her.
"Auntie Tian, how is Dad? Was it Fan Chengyou who brought me back?"
"Miss, don't move. Your lungs are badly injured. It wasn't Fan Chengyou who brought you back. It was Prince Yi who brought you back."
who?
Cheng Ruoying thought she was hallucinating.
"The prince also left behind a lot of medicine, some for health and some for scar removal. Miss, when you came back, your mouth was full of blood, and Prince Yi's face was as cold as ice. I thought... I thought you..." Aunt Tian wiped her tears again.
"Why is he here?" Cheng Ruoying spoke with some difficulty, her injured tongue hurting badly.
But she had too many questions.
"I heard from the master that the prince originally came to congratulate the young lady on her wedding, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident when he arrived in Xichuan!
Liu Cheng has been executed on the spot by the prince! Now the streets are full of people, all thanking the prince!
"oh."
Cheng Ruoying responded indifferently and lay down again.
"The eldest lady, the second lady..."
"Dead?"
"He's not dead, he's locked up by the master."
"Don't send her any food. Let her starve for three days. Wait until I'm done resting."
After Cheng Ruoying finished her instructions, she closed her eyes again.
Aunt Tian sighed.
The second young lady is really confused!
The master was so angry that he almost turned his back. If it weren’t for Prince Yi, everything would be over!
He still doesn't repent and has been cursing in the woodshed all day.
After Cheng Ruoying rested in bed for three days, County Magistrate Cheng had almost cleaned up Xichuan City, which had been messed up by Liu Cheng.
Cheng Ruoying has always been the one who makes the decisions on family matters, and she can do whatever she wants with that badass sister.
Early in the morning, Cheng Ruoying dragged Cheng Ruoxi out of the house.
After not having eaten for three days and only being given water, Cheng Ruoxi was so hungry that her eyes were blurry and she was at the mercy of others.
I was well protected before and had never suffered such a crime.
But she still insisted.
His eyes were red as he cursed his sister and his father with the most vicious words, calling them treacherous villains.
Cheng Ruoying acted as if she couldn't hear anything and went all the way to the door of Fan's house.
In front of the Fan family’s door, many people were cursing.
The Fan family did a lot of bad things for Liu Cheng behind the scenes.
They used various means to force people to take over their shops and plunder their wealth.
There was a man with a broken leg, and a woman holding a sick child who had no money to treat her illness. Men and women were smashing the door of the Fan family's house with stones.
Fan Wende's family had been thrown into a stone mine on the outskirts of the city, leaving only the old and the young.
There were also cries and pleas for mercy from inside.
"See? This is the well-behaved and upright Fan family you mentioned."
Cheng Ruoxi panted and sneered.
"Don't try to fool me. You've been confusing right and wrong and calling a horse a zebra many times!
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now that you have won, you can say whatever you want!
Cheng Ruoying, I wondered why you left Brother Chengyou, but it turns out you hooked up with Huo Zhanfeng!
No wonder you used to love running around the military camp so much!
Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, I'm talking about you!"
Cheng Ruoying closed her eyes and took a breath.
Without another word, he dragged her away again.
"Don't bother wasting your time! You and Dad broke your promise. Even if the Fan family did something, you were the ones who did the wrong first!
Brother Chengyou is so good to you. Even though you ran away, he still waited for you for two years. Did you ever think about him when you were hanging out with other people outside? "
A slap hit her hard on the face.
"You're such a scoundrel, such a prostitute... You're truly my good sister!"
For so many years, she has been loving an ungrateful person!
It’s really not worth it!
Cheng Ruoying threw Cheng Ruoxi onto the horse, and galloped headfirst to the stone quarry.
In the mine on the outskirts of Xichuan City, the people working there are all prisoners and those who do hard labor to make a living.
Many women in the family have no choice but to work there to earn a meager income to support their families.
Cheng Ruoying directly threw Cheng Ruoxi into the mine, in the same area as the Fan family.
"Since you like the Fan family and your brother Chengyou, then stay with them!
The Cheng family will just pretend that you don't have a daughter like me!"
“…Who cares!”
Cheng Ruoxi struggled to get up and looked around.
When the Fan family saw Cheng Ruoying, they wanted to run over and beg for mercy, but Cheng Ruoying left without even looking back.
The guard whipped Fan Chengyou.
"You useless thing! You can't even carry two stones, what are you looking at?"
"Why are you hitting people? Stop it!" Cheng Ruoxi staggered over and stood in front of Fan Chengyou.
Fan Chengyou's eyes flashed, and then he whispered painfully: "Sister Xi, why are you so stupid? Don't quarrel with your sister, admit your mistake to her quickly, this is not the place for you to stay."
"Brother Chengyou, they are wrong. I don't have a sister and father like that!"
…
When Cheng Ruoying turned a corner, she saw a tall and straight figure and subconsciously wanted to hide.
Before he could take any action, Huo Zhanfeng turned around after being reminded by the person next to him.
His sharp and deep eyes swept over the woman, and his brows furrowed.
Cheng Ruoying felt her heart tighten.
He was already striding towards this side.
The black cloak fluttered in the wind like an eagle spreading its wings ready to fly.
Cheng Ruoying felt timid and didn't know what to do with her hands, so she just let them hang at her sides as if she was standing in punishment.
"you……"
"...Your Highness." She saluted in a flustered manner, which was neither right nor wrong.
Huo Zhanfeng was a little stunned.
He remembered that this girl used to be very generous. She was very heroic when she mounted a horse and graceful when she dismounted.
Why do you act like a little girl now?
Nervous fingers were digging into the palms of my hands.
oh.
Then he stopped, a little distance away.
He thought he might have scared someone.
After all, she is young.
"Miss Cheng, it's only been three days, and you're seriously injured. You'd better get more rest.
I have something over there, I'll have it delivered to your house later."
After Huo Zhanfeng finished speaking, he turned and left.
Cheng Ruoying stood there for a long time, and the mess in her heart was finally cut off by a pair of scissors.
She couldn't figure out what Huo Zhanfeng meant just now.
But I know, first of all, he asked her to rest more.
Second, he had something to give her.
The blood in her body suddenly seemed to boil, making her want to jump when she walked.
Riding on the chestnut horse, she rushed home.
Huo Zhanfeng returned to his original position.
Several brothers who had just been rescued from the mine supported each other, with mocking smiles on their skinny faces.
"General, oh, no, Your Majesty, it's a pity that your family doesn't allow you to take concubines. You've let down Miss Cheng's love for you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Huo Zhanfeng frowned.
The brothers were really excited to finally come out of the dark mine, and they had endless things to talk about with Huo Zhanfeng.
Then they started laughing and talking to each other.
"What nonsense is that? I remember Miss Cheng secretly learned our stick techniques, right?"
"Yes, the prince taught me the stick technique, and Miss Cheng uses the red tassel spear, and the dance is just as powerful."
"Once on the street, I saw her covering her face with a piece of cloth and peeking at the prince."
"I've seen it too! When the prince returned to the capital, she also returned to visit her relatives. On the way, I saw her lift the carriage curtain several times to peek at the prince!"
Huo Zhanfeng: “…”
