Chapter 54 Reporting to the Police
Lu Hengzhao smiled playfully.
"I'm still young, and my third brother is already 20, so of course he's better than me."
As he spoke, he grabbed another fruit and ate it.
Wang simply ignored her.
But when she mentioned this, she remembered something.
"Qing'er, have you seen Princess Xiangning today? Your marriage to her is already settled. You can talk more when you see her and cultivate your relationship."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wang immediately asked, "What's wrong? Are you two having a conflict?"
Lu Hengqing hesitated again and again, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He shook his head.
"My son and the princess are fine, mother, there is no need to worry."
"But you don't look well, what's on your mind?"
"Maybe he's tired." Lu Hengqing promptly offered to leave. "Since you have nothing to do here, I'll come back later. Go back and rest for a while."
"Go ahead," Wang said with a worried look on her face. "If you feel unwell, ask Changshun to get the palace doctor to come and see you."
"good."
Coming out of the house, Lu Hengqing's face darkened little by little.
He resented his mother in his heart.
If she hadn't lost herself while watching the lanterns, how could she have been wandering outside for more than ten years?
Enduring endless hardships, being looked down upon, and suffering endless humiliation...
Now that he has finally come back, she should be extra nice to him!
But her heart and eyes were still filled with her little son whom she raised by her side.
Lu Hengqing thought that he couldn't count on anyone. Only when he became strong would others respect him, instead of being forced to apologize to Jiang Yueyao like today at the Baiyu Lake.
When Lu Hengqing thought of Jiang Yueyao, he thought of Lu Sui.
Lu Sui doesn't like him!
From the first time they met, his third uncle was extremely indifferent to him. After that, when they met several times in the mansion, the other party also treated him as nothing.
He would be like this to everyone, but he had seen the other person touching his brother's head and smiling gently.
Everyone looks down on him.
Anyone can bully him!
Lu Hengqing lowered his brows and his eyes became increasingly violent.
One day, he will get back all the humiliation and injustice he has suffered today.
One day, he would make Lu Sui kneel before him and beg him with tears.
When Lu Hengqing thought of that scene, he felt refreshed.
…
Drink realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival.
But none of them were used to drinking this wine, so Jiang Yueyao went to buy yellow apricot wine.
After sunset, Aunt Chun set up the dining table in the yard. Jiang Yueyao and Chenyu brought out dishes from the kitchen, filling the entire table.
The four of them sat down, each poured a glass of yellow apricot wine, and the oldest Aunt Chun said some auspicious words, and then they started eating.
Chenyu has been praising her since the moment she picked up the chopsticks.
“This fish is delicious.”
“The ribs smell so good.”
“The shrimp balls are so crispy.”
“The chicken soup is delicious.”
Jiang Yueyao looked at her and felt heartbroken.
"Did you have a hard time in the past?"
Chenyu, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, said: "..."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Yueyao felt even more distressed and picked up another piece of pork ribs for her.
"Take your time to eat. There's no rush. From now on, whenever I have something to eat, I'll leave half a bite for you."
“…”
That's not necessary.
Finally, after eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yueyao suddenly heard a noise coming from the yard, like the sound of fighting. Jiang Yueyao's heart tightened. She put on her clothes and got out of bed. She felt for the stick behind the door and went to the window to look out.
Under the cover of night, with the help of moonlight, Jiang Yueyao saw the beauty that could make fish sink to the bottom of the water at a glance.
She was unarmed and fought against four people at once. In just a moment, she knocked them all down.
Jiang Yueyao quickly opened the door and ran out.
Chenyu got a rope from somewhere, and she moved skillfully, tying the four people together in no time.
Yueyao was stunned by what she saw.
Seeing her coming, Chenyu clapped her hands.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll report it to the authorities tomorrow morning."
When they heard the call to the police, the four tied-up people panicked.
One of them hurriedly shouted, "Lady, lady, don't report it to the police, don't report it to the police. The four of us brothers just want to steal some small money to use."
"Oh, you carry a knife with you to steal money?"
Chenyu didn't believe his nonsense at all.
She drew the soft sword from her waist and brought the blade close to the man's throat. "I'll give you one more chance. If you dare to hide it again, I'll kill you."
"You..." The other party wanted to be stubborn, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Immediately afterwards, blood flowed down his neck.
Seeing that Chenyu was serious, the other party was really scared.
"I'm telling you, the four of us brothers were ordered to chop off your hands."
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she felt her hands go cold.
She was horrified and couldn't help but ask, "Who ordered you to do this?"
"We really don't know. People like us, when we take money and do things for others, we don't ask who the other party is, and the other party naturally won't tell us their identity."
"I only know that the accent is from another place..."
"Out of town?" Jiang Yueyao frowned. She looked at Chenyu, "The grudge you made?"
"I've always been a chivalrous man, and I've only been thanked by others. No one would bother me." Chenyu glanced at her, "Could it be someone sent by Princess Xiangning?"
After all, she was the only one who was offended yesterday.
When the two of them thought about it, they felt that it was very possible.
In the second half of the night, Jiang Yueyao didn't dare to sleep anymore. She kept her eyes open until dawn.
As soon as it was daybreak, she went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the authorities.
The police arrived quickly and took the four people away.
After the shock last night, Jiang Yueyao was in a daze the whole morning. When Yuan Zheng brought Yuan Shuyan in, she was staring at the abacus in a daze.
It was not until someone came up to her and called her that she came back to her senses.
Seeing her like this, Yuan Zheng curled his lips and smiled.
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Yueyao smiled embarrassedly.
Then she casually told him what happened last night: "...Now those four are still in the Jingzhao government office. I've been waiting all morning, but there's still no result."
After hearing this, Yuan Shuyan was very scared.
"Are you hurt?"
"Chenyu's martial arts skills are not weak. They didn't hurt us, but they are a little worried." Jiang Yueyao frowned. "I just came to the capital not long ago. Apart from Princess Xiangning who doesn't like me, I haven't offended anyone."
"Could it be her?" Yuan Shuyan guessed.
Yuan Zheng shook his head: "Although Princess Xiang Ning is arrogant and domineering, she has always been open and aboveboard. I have never heard of her doing anything behind anyone's back."
"Think about it again, have you ever offended anyone?"
Jiang Yueyao was about to shake her head when she suddenly thought of someone.
Just then, Chenyu ran in from outside.
Angrily.
As soon as she saw Jiang Yueyao, she spoke angrily.
"I just went to the Jingzhao government office. I originally wanted to ask about the four people. But I heard that they were released the moment they entered last night."
Jiang Yueyao was dumbfounded.
"Let him go?"
"How can you let him go? The case isn't closed yet..."
Seeing that she was anxious, Yuan Zheng spoke quickly.
"Don't worry, come with me to the Jingzhao government office first and see what's going on."
"good."
Jiang Yueyao followed Yuan Zheng out.
The Yuan family's carriage was parked at the door. Yuan Zheng got on the carriage first. His carriage was a bit high, and he was worried that it would be difficult for Jiang Yueyao to get on, so he reached out to pull her.
The matter was urgent, so Jiang Yueyao didn't think too much about it. She reached out and used his strength to get into the carriage.
The curtain was lowered, and the carriage quickly drove away from its original location and headed towards the Jingzhao government office.
At this moment, in a jade shop across the street, Lu Sui was looking out the window.
His gaze fell on the Yuan family's slowly departing carriage, and his originally gentle eyes gradually cooled...
