Chapter 436 I think you are tired of living!
Lan Xiyue looked in the direction Chu Xia pointed. She saw a slender figure in a light green brocade cloak slowly descending the steps at the carved wooden door of the "Linglong Pavilion" across from her.
Although she only caught a glimpse of a side profile and back figure, Lan Xiyue was almost certain that it was Yun Yiyi from the familiar posture and figure.
Chuchun also stared intently, her brows furrowed slightly, a look of confusion and vigilance on her face. "Princess, there seem to be two people following Miss Yun? They look... sneaky, they don't seem like good people."
She looked more closely. The two men were wearing gray cotton jackets. One was tall, the other short. Their eyes were wandering. They walked lightly among the pedestrians, whispering to each other from time to time, but their eyes were always glued to Yun Yiyi, revealing an indescribable vulgarity and calculation.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.
She stopped for a moment, watching the two men following Yun Yiyi, who was completely unaware, not too far away, like hyenas eyeing their prey.
"Let's go," Lan Xiyue's voice lowered, "Let's follow and take a look." She signaled Chuchun to put away the umbrella. The three masters and servants took advantage of the cover of street shops and pedestrians, quietly blended into the crowd, and followed them not far away.
Yun Yiyi in front was completely unaware that someone was following her. She carefully held a sandalwood box wrapped in brocade in her hands, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her steps were as light as a fluttering butterfly.
"Xiaoya, look!" Yun Yiyi's voice was as clear as a silver bell, filled with undisguised joy. She gently patted the box and said to the maid beside her, "This is the Hetian jade Ruyi hairpin that Linglong Pavilion just put on display today. It's very watery! Cousin Su will definitely be delighted to see this."
She paused, the brilliance in her eyes dimming slightly, tinged with a hint of regret. "Before... I was too naive, blinded by greed, and said a lot of hurtful things. From now on, I must get along well with my cousin and never let us be estranged again."
The maid Xiaoya nodded quickly, a smile on her face: "Young lady, you are right! You and the Princess Regent are connected by blood. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. As long as you are sincere, no matter how big the misunderstanding is, it will always be melted by the warmth of family love. The Princess Regent will definitely understand your intentions."
The master and servant were so immersed in the hope of repairing their relationship that they didn't notice that two wretched-looking men were following them closely about five or six steps behind them.
"Princess..." Chuchun's voice was extremely low, with a barely perceptible tension, "Those two... have been following Miss Yun stealthily. Their behavior is suspicious. I'm afraid they really have bad intentions!"
Lan Xiyue did not stop, but her eyes, as deep as an ancient well, instantly turned cold, sharply taking in every move of the two people in front of her.
She uttered an almost inaudible "hmm," and said, "Follow me first."
Chu Xia was impatient and couldn't help but curl her lips, muttering softly, "This Miss Yun is so careless when she goes out! She's the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and she only has a little girl with her, not even a guard! If our princess hadn't happened to pass by and seen her, she would have suffered a great loss today!"
As they were talking, Yun Yiyi and Xiaoya in front turned and walked into a slightly secluded alley in order to take a shortcut.
When the two men who were following saw this, a gleam of light flashed in their eyes. They looked at each other and grinned fiercely.
"The opportunity has come!" one of them said in a hoarse voice.
Without any further hesitation, the two men exerted force with their feet and rushed into the alley like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey. One in front and one behind, they completely blocked the way of the master and servant!
Yun Yiyi was startled by the sudden appearance of a black shadow. After seeing that they were two strange men, she frowned unhappily, and her ladylike arrogance immediately surfaced: "Where did this rude man come from? Why are you blocking my way for no reason? Get out of the way!"
The tall and thin man standing in front had high cheekbones and a pair of triangular eyes flashing with lust in the dim light. He didn't give way when he heard the words. Instead, he laughed strangely twice, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Oh, little beauty has quite a temper? Your face is so pretty that it makes your brother feel itchy. Don't be in a hurry to leave, come with your brother to a happy place to play, I guarantee you will feel comfortable!" As he spoke, he stretched out a dirty hand and wanted to touch Yun Yiyi's face.
"How dare you! Get out of here! A good dog doesn't block the road!" Yun Yiyi took a step back to avoid the hand. She was shocked and angry, and her voice rose a few notches. But at this moment she still didn't fully realize the approaching danger. She just felt that she had met a scoundrel.
The tall and thin man's lewd smile became even more pronounced after she scolded him, and his triangular eyes narrowed into slits: "Tsk, you're shameless, huh? You have no choice today!" His explicit gaze licked Yun Yiyi's body like a snake's tongue, full of disgusting possessiveness.
Yun Yiyi's hair stood on end when he looked at her, and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.
She instinctively wanted to turn around and go around, but was blocked by a burly man with a big waist and a face full of flesh!
The sturdy man crossed his arms and grinned with a malicious smile.
Yun Yiyi's face turned pale in an instant, her heart sank, and a huge fear gripped her.
The maid Xiaoya was also frightened out of her wits. She forced herself to remain calm, swallowed hard, and mustered up all her courage. Her voice trembled but she tried to raise it: "You...you are so bold! You are blind! Do you know who my young lady is?
She's the daughter of the Duke of Huguo! She's also the cousin of the Princess Regent! How dare you block our way? If the Princess Regent knew you dared to humiliate her cousin, how many heads would you have?!
When the two gangsters heard the words "Protector's Mansion" and "Regent Princess", a trace of panic and fear flashed across their eyes.
The tall and thin man even subconsciously shrank his neck, and the fat on the strong man's face also trembled.
However, this fear only lasted for a moment.
The tall and thin man rolled his eyes and quickly scanned the empty alley. He then looked at the master and servant in front of him who were unarmed and helpless, and his courage immediately grew again.
"Bah!" He spat, his face once again filled with a sinister and vicious look as he snorted sarcastically, "You damned girl! How dare you scare your grandfather with such words? Do you think I was brought up by being scared? The daughter of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion brings a little girl with her when she goes out? And even goes to give a gift to the princess? No one would believe you! I think you are tired of living!"
He took a step closer, staring at the trembling Xiaoya with eyes like a venomous snake, and grinned, "Later, I'll sell you, this sharp-tongued girl, to the cheapest brothel for a few taels of silver. That's just the right time for me and my brother to get a pot of good wine and have some fun!"
