Chapter 79 Rescue
Chen Yuan immediately understood what Gu Huailing meant.
"The one who tied the bell must untie it. My husband, are you trying to use the Buddha statue as a guide to solve the case from that year?"
Gu Huailing's eyes flashed with approval, "Madam is smart."
After the matter was clear, Shen Yuan felt a little embarrassed. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Huailing, "I'm sorry, sir, I wronged you."
Gu Huailing's eyes darkened a little as he gently placed a kiss on the corner of her lips.
The Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet will be held in a month.
Chen Yuan has been living almost entirely in Yuxing these days.
She wanted to carve a Guanyin statue that was exactly the same as the one she made back then.
Chen Yuan has been busy these days, selecting jade painting patterns and has been very busy all day long.
Although she had many top-quality jades, none of them were the same as the ones she had back then.
"Madam, something bad has happened! The Fourth Prince and a horse slave from the Prince of Fuguo's mansion started fighting! They almost destroyed our shop!"
Shopkeeper Chen rarely panics like this.
Chen Yuan put down the pen in his hand, immediately stood up and walked downstairs.
The store was in a mess, with seven or eight guards lying on the ground.
The fourth prince covered his nose with his hands, and blood kept dripping down.
He raised his knife and pointed it at the woman in front of him, "Get out of the way! I will kill this slave today!"
Chen Yuan looked at the woman. She was wearing a lotus-colored dress and her face was clean without a speck of dust. She was obviously trembling with fear, but she opened her arms to protect the person behind her.
"Fourth, Fourth Prince, we were wrong in what happened today. Tomorrow I will have my father come to apologize."
Chen Yuan's gaze shifted to the woman, Liu Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
He is a kind person and has helped me in my previous life.
"Qingqing, please move aside. Is a little horse slave really worthy of your protection? If you were to flirt with a stranger in public, would your Protectorate Mansion still have any face left if this got out?"
"Miss, everyone is responsible for their own actions." The slightly hoarse voice of the manservant behind her sounded.
His face seemed to have been burned by a fire; it was uneven and his original features could not be seen, except for his eyes which were sharp and deep.
Those are eyes with great depth.
"You offended the Fourth Prince because of me. I can't just ignore you."
The Fourth Prince sneered, "Liu Qingqing, don't forget your status. How can I face the shame of my woman being so tangle with a lowly bastard?"
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale and she bit her lower lip tightly.
The horse slave behind her glared fiercely, "My young lady hasn't even been engaged yet. If the Fourth Prince insults her again, I'll pay you with your life!"
Ma Nu flashed and stood in front of Liu Qingqing.
"You dare to threaten me!" The fourth prince raised the knife in his hand and chopped at the horse slave!
"Stop!" A cold shout rang out, and Shen Yuan picked up the porcelain bottle and smashed it towards the Fourth Prince's hand.
"Who dares to hit me!" The Fourth Prince was furious.
Looking back at the person who came, the anger in his body was suppressed.
Shen Yuan walked over slowly and looked directly at the Fourth Prince, "Your Highness, why are you causing trouble in my shop?"
The Fourth Prince was stunned. He didn't expect that this would be Shen Yuan's shop.
His face darkened. "I didn't know this shop belonged to Madam Gu. This prince will compensate for everything that was broken."
"It's unlucky to see blood in my newly opened shop."
The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes, "What does Madam Gu want?"
"I heard from my master that the Emperor only released Your Highness from house arrest because of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. If word gets out about Your Highness's behavior today, will he be grounded again?"
Chen Yuan looked outside the door, the meaning was very clear, get out of here!
The Fourth Prince's eyes were sinister. It was well known that Gu Huailing protected Chen Yuan as if he were protecting his own eyes.
To offend Chen Yuan is to offend Gu Huailing.
There was no need for him to confront Shen Yuan at this time.
As for that lowly groom, he has a hundred ways to kill him once he leaves this door!
The Fourth Prince took a deep breath and said, "I will give my wife a favor and take my leave first."
Shen Yuan made a gesture of invitation.
After the Fourth Prince took his men out, Liu Qingqing immediately walked up to Chen Yuan.
She bowed to Shen Yuan and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your help today. I will definitely repay you for this great favor in the future."
Her voice was as soft as a little white rabbit, and as innocent as in her previous life.
Unfortunately, she had a bad fate and was eventually assigned to be the fourth prince's concubine.
One year after their marriage, she committed suicide in the Fourth Prince's residence.
"Madam?" the little white rabbit called again.
Chen Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Liu Qingqing gently, "Miss Liu, there's no need to be so polite."
The horse slave beside him looked at Shen Yuan warily.
He is quite defensive.
Chen Yuan retracted her gaze and said, "Miss Liu, you can go to the backyard and rest for a while. Wait until the Fourth Prince leaves before returning."
Liu Qingqing's eyes lit up, she was also afraid of the Fourth Prince.
A slave came forward and said, "Thank you, Madam. I will protect my young lady."
Chen Yuan hated people without brains the most, so he immediately said coldly, "How can you protect me? Wait until you get out now and the Fourth Prince will stab you to pieces?"
The groom lowered his head, pressed his thin lips into a straight line, and clenched his fists tightly.
In the end, it was Shopkeeper Chen who sent the two to the backyard.
The Fourth Prince acted quickly and had someone deliver the banknotes before dusk.
Only when it was completely dark did Shen Yuan leave the jade shop.
She closed her eyes and took a nap in the carriage.
The originally stable carriage suddenly stopped.
Shen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
The soft, tearful voice from the day before rang out from outside the carriage. "Madam, I am Liu Qingqing. I beg for your help."
Chen Yuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw the little white rabbit from the day, now with disheveled hair, tear marks on her face, and blood stains on her skirt.
Chen Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly let her get in the car.
"Don't cry, tell me what happened slowly."
Chen Yuan gently put a cloak on Liu, her voice gentle and soothing.
Liu Qingqing's emotions seemed to be strangely calmed down. "Madam, please, save Zhinu."
Zhinu, the name of the horse slave.
"Just now, when Zhinu and I were returning home, we were suddenly chased by the Fourth Prince's men. Zhinu was seriously injured by them."
"The person was taken away by the Fourth Prince?" If that's the case, Gu Huailing still has to step in.
Liu shook his head gently, "No, I hid Zhinu and asked Madam for help."
Her helpless look reminded Shen Yuan of herself last time.
The first time she attended a banquet of noble ladies in the capital, she was framed and made a fool of herself in public.
At that time, it was Liu Qingqing who stood up to defend herself.
Chen Yuan always remembers this kindness.
She looked at her and soothed her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
Liu Qingqing hid Zhinu in a dilapidated house.
"In that big vat up front. He's badly injured. I don't know if he'll die."
Liu Qingqing said this with tears in her eyes again.
Chen Yuan walked over with her and opened the lid of the big jar, but found that there was no one inside.
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale instantly.
Shen Yuan frowned slightly, and the next second a cold dagger was pressed against her neck.
Liu Qingqing yelled, "Zhi Nu, stop it!"
"Miss, are you hurt?" Zhinu said hoarsely.
After saying this.
"Bang!" With a sound, the whole person fell backwards.
