When Su Ruojin looked up, she saw Wei Xuecheng holding a folding fan and smiling at her, his eyes full of ill intent.
Wei Xuecheng was also drugged at the banquet that day. After returning home, the people he sent out never returned, so he guessed that the plan had failed.
He felt guilty for several days afterward and hid in his residence, afraid to go out.
He later discovered that the Regent hadn't caused him any trouble, so he mustered up the courage to go out today, only to unexpectedly run into Su Ruojin.
The young girl was wearing a light pink dress today, and her skin glowed white in the sunlight. Wei Xuecheng couldn't suppress his excitement and stepped forward to stop Su Ruojin.
No matter what, he was the second son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. With his family background, countless noble ladies in the capital wanted to marry him, but he didn't even look at them.
She should feel honored that he is now willing to take the initiative to speak to her.
“Young Master Wei, we’re not acquainted, please move aside.” Su Ruojin glanced at Wei Xuecheng and walked around him.
The guards of the Prince's mansion had already determined that the maid who tried to harm her that day was one of Wei Xuecheng's people.
Su Ruojin didn't believe that Wei Xuecheng would suddenly attack her without Lin Wanqing's involvement.
Xiao Yanchu wanted to take action, but Su Ruojin stopped him. There were some things she wanted to do herself, but she didn't have time to do them right now.
With a single glance from Wei Xuecheng, the guards beside him blocked Su Ruojin's path.
Wei Xuecheng turned around and smiled, "Miss Su, since you already know me, how could we not be familiar? Besides, familiarity breeds contempt. I would like to invite Miss Su to sit at Yuhua Tower. What do you say?"
"Get out of the way!" Su Ruojin didn't have that much patience.
“Miss Su, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences. Do you think the Regent would offend the Duke of Dingguo’s mansion for the sake of a mere doctor like you?”
After saying that, he closed his fan and tried to lift Su Ruojin's chin.
The next second!
"Wei Xuecheng, how dare you!"
A figure attacked Wei Xuecheng directly. Wei Xuecheng had no martial arts skills at all and was immediately knocked to the ground and beaten mercilessly by the figure.
His guards tried to step forward to help, but were immediately stopped by the Imperial Guards and dared not move.
Su Ziyang stood up after seeing that he had beaten Wei Xuecheng enough, and clapped his hands: "Wei Xuecheng, if I see you harassing women in the street again, I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Wei Xuecheng's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he slurred, "Coo...Coo Ziyang, you actually dare...dared to attack my nest, you'll be waiting...wait for me."
The guards rushed forward to help Wei Xuecheng up and then hurriedly left.
Su Ruojin watched with great interest.
Second brother is so handsome.
"Little sister, are you alright?" Su Ziyang walked to Su Ruojin's side.
"Thank you, Second Brother, I'm fine," Su Ruojin replied with a smile. It felt really good to have her brother protecting her.
Where are you going?
"I want to go see my mother."
"It's on my way, I'll give you a ride."
"Then thank you very much, Second Brother." Su Ruojin would not refuse her Second Brother's kindness.
Along the way, Su Ziyang tried to find a topic to get closer to his younger sister, but after holding back for a long time, he didn't know what to say and was so anxious that he scratched his head.
Su Ruojin noticed her second brother's embarrassment and found it somewhat amusing. She took the initiative to speak up, "The sword you're using, second brother, is the Hua Fei Sword. If I remember correctly, it should be made by the Martial God Huang Jian."
She remembered that many of the gifts her second brother prepared for her were weapons such as small swords and crossbows.
"Little sister, you actually know about swords?" Su Ziyang was somewhat surprised.
Su Ruojin nodded: "I know a little bit. I remember Huang Jian once forged the Heavenly Profound Sword and the Silver Moon Sword..."
Su Ziyang was very knowledgeable about weapons, but he never expected that his younger sister would be so familiar with them as well.
