Chapter 113 The Sixth Prince is blatantly favoring Shen Chu!
The moment the poodle's sharp teeth touched her neck, Chen Chu's heart pounded.
If you get bitten by a dog that big, you'll either die or go crazy.
At this point, he no longer cared about hiding the fact that he knew martial arts.
She gathered her strength in her palm, ready to send the lion dog flying with a single blow, when the lion dog suddenly let out a miserable howl and collapsed limply to the ground.
The lion dog carried a familiar jade bone fan, its thin blade piercing straight into its throat, killing it instantly.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up to see a bright red figure descending from the sky, landing slowly beside her like a god.
The bright red flying fish dress accentuated his tall and slender figure, while his captivating peach blossom eyes looked down at her with a familiar disdain.
"Aren't you going to get up? Do you want me to help you?"
Shen Chu recovered from the aftershocks of Pei Yuantian's attack, her abdomen still throbbing slightly.
She dared not move rashly, and stretched out a hand, "Would Your Highness like to lend a hand?"
Pei Yuan scoffed, his eyes and brows clearly showing his rejection.
"Ah Chu, are you alright?" Li Chengxuan rushed over anxiously. "You scared me to death! Did that beast bite you?"
"I'm fine."
"Don't move, let me help you up."
"Thank you." Shen Chu handed her hand to Li Chengxuan, preparing to grab his arm for support.
Before her hand could even touch Li Chengxuan, a large hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her, and lifted her up.
Chen Chu...
What I'm saying is, can we please stop bringing her up all the time?
As soon as she regained her footing, Pei Yuan impatiently let go of her hand, so quickly that it made her heart ache.
Noticing a lingering ache in her abdomen, Shen Chu dared not move around and silently sat down on a chair at the meat pie stall.
Pei Yuan glanced at her and said, "You, a young master, a prince, and an imperial censor, getting into a brawl, you guys are really something."
Shen Chu grinned dryly, "A young man who doesn't fight is a wasted youth."
"Are you implying that I, the prince, am getting old?" Pei Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Chen Chu blinked. Was that what she meant?
"If that's how Your Highness sees it, there's nothing I can do about it."
Pei Yuan chuckled and his sharp gaze swept over Li Chengxuan and Wang Yao.
The two shuddered and slumped into the chairs next to Shen Chu, their eyes darting around, neither of them displaying the arrogance they had displayed moments before.
Pei Yuan sneered, "Did I, the prince, tell you to sit down?"
Li Chengxuan and Wang Yao immediately jumped up from their chairs, their speed so fast it was as if the chairs were biting their butts.
When Li Chengxuan glanced at Shen Chu, who was still sitting still, he became anxious and reached out to tug at her sleeve.
"Achu, get up quickly."
Chen Chu's stomach was still aching slightly, so she didn't dare to move and mumbled, "My legs are weak, I can't get up."
Li Chengxuan was afraid that Pei Yuan would take his anger out on Shen Chu, so he quickly reached out to help her up.
She braced herself on her knees with her hands, gritting her teeth as she prepared to get up.
Seeing that her lips were pale and her fingers trembled slightly on her knees, Pei Yuan frowned deeply. "Did I tell you to get up?"
Sigh.
Shen Chu immediately let go of his hand and sat back down as steadily as Mount Tai.
Thanks to Pei Yuan's erratic behavior, no one could make her leave the chair until it was certain that the baby in her womb would be alright.
Li Chengxuan's hand froze in mid-air, his gaze meeting Wang Yao's.
At that moment, the two of them empathized with each other's grievances.
Both of them were involved in a group fight, so why could A-Chu (Chen Chu) sit down while they had to stand and listen to the lecture?
The Sixth Prince is blatantly favoring Shen Chu.
When did they become so close?
"Tell me, why did you fight?"
Wang Yao's eyes darted around, and he preemptively said, "I was just teasing a little beggar, and the young master and Lord Shen didn't even bother to find out the truth..."
"Did I tell you to say it?" Pei Yuan glared at him, and Wang Yao choked, too scared to speak again.
Pei Yuan gestured with his chin towards Li Chengxuan, "You tell me."
Li Chengxuan dared not lie and recounted the whole story: "...Your Highness, your subject and Achu could not stand Wang Yao's bullying, so we started fighting."
Wang Yao looked aggrieved. "Neither of you suffered a loss. Chen Chu injured me and forced me to lick the little beggar's shoes."
"Hehe." Pei Yuan chuckled softly, "Did you lick it? If you're not finished, you can continue."
Wang Yao... The Sixth Prince asked about the reason for the fight but didn't uphold justice?
Pei Yuan's face darkened. "To allow vicious dogs to attack an official of the imperial court in the street, Wang Yao, do you think your father's title is superfluous?"
Wang Yao was terrified. If any other prince had come today, he would have dared to argue his way out of it.
But in front of the Sixth Prince, he dared not say a word more, for fear of angering the Sixth Prince and having his whole family arrested and imprisoned by the Flying Eagle Guard.
The entire Changning Marquis's residence was taken to the Flying Eagle Guard. The Marquis's wife is dead, and Shen Yan is still unconscious. It is said that Old Madam Shen fainted as soon as she returned home.
He dared not provoke Pei Yuan.
Wang Yao immediately apologized to Li Chengxuan and Shen Chu with a pale face, "I was wrong. I will never tease people again, and I will never hurt people again. Please forgive me, Young Master and Lord Shen."
Seeing Wang Yao looking like a stray dog, Li Chengxuan immediately perked up and gave Wang Yao a good scolding.
Wang Yao and his men slunk away.
Pei Yuan dusted off his flying fish robe and saw that Shen Chu was still sitting in the chair, her face a little pale. He frowned and snorted coldly, "You're more timid than a woman. A dog scared you so much that your legs went weak?"
Shen Chu grinded her teeth; this guy always managed to find different angles to dislike her.
In this world, she's afraid of nothing but snakes, okay?
But she couldn't say that her stomach hurt, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Knowing he was afraid of dogs, he still dared to save someone from being bitten. After saving the person, he couldn't even get away unscathed. He acted out of reckless courage. Stupid!"
It's one thing to call her a coward, but to call her stupid is another!
This is intolerable!
Shen Chu blurted out, "I may be afraid of snakes, but I'm not afraid of dogs. Otherwise, how could I dare to argue with Your Highness every day?"
A collective gasp filled the air.
Li Chengxuan said in a trembling voice, "Ah...Ah Chu, wake up! Speak properly to His Highness."
Shen Chu huffed, "How can a person and a dog talk to each other properly?"
"Hmph," Pei Yuan scoffed lightly, looking over coldly, "You've gotten quite bold, haven't you? Do you know what happened to the last person who insulted this prince?"
Li Chengxuan felt a chill run down his spine and his legs trembled when Pei Yuan looked at him.
Good heavens, would the Sixth Prince really want to kill A-Chu?
No, he had to save his brother.
Li Chengxuan, quick-witted, glared at Chen Chu with a serious expression, "Chu, I won't allow you to call yourself a dog."
Shen Chu... what a terrible teammate!
"Who are you calling a dog?" she asked, cracking her knuckles and giving a forced smile.
Pei Yuan twirled his hand, his knuckles making a crisp cracking sound. "Yeah, who's the dog?"
Li Chengxuan shrank his neck and silently took two steps back, "Woof woof!"
He's a dog, okay?
*Pfft*
Shen Chu was amused by his aggrieved look, and her anger dissipated.
Her smile was like snow melting on a mountaintop; her eyes and brows were full of joy, pure and delightful, making it impossible to look away.
Pei Yuan couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, then realized that he actually thought Shen Chu's smile was quite beautiful. His expression darkened, and he turned and left.
Suddenly, she had another fit of madness. Shen Chu pouted and subconsciously touched her stomach, only to suddenly realize...
