The man made a sword flower and put the sword back into the scabbard: "Miss, you don't have to thank me."
"When you see injustice, you should draw your sword and help."
Su Rui liked to travel the world of martial arts, but in reality, she was well protected by her family and had never met a true martial artist. Seeing the man's dress and speaking style, she felt a little moved. She smiled sheepishly, "Young Master, you are so righteous."
The man looked around and saw that Su Rui was accompanied by only a young maid who didn't know martial arts. He said, "I think the young lady should be a lady from a wealthy family. I just arrived in Liaocheng today and heard that Liaocheng has been in chaos recently. Where does the young lady live? I have nothing to do and can escort her back."
Speaking of the fact that she only had one maid by her side, Su Rui couldn't help but secretly get angry. She usually had guards with her when she went out, but now there were too many things to do, and the people in the yamen were simply not enough, and their Su family's guards had also been transferred there.
Fortunately, she met a good person today, otherwise she would have lost her life.
Su Rui said gratefully, "Then I'll trouble you, sir. I live in the government office." She was still on guard and specifically stated that she lived in the government office. If the man had any problems, he would definitely not dare to go with them.
The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, please."
Su Rui didn't know why, but she breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Rui was about to get on the carriage when she saw Wei Fu and Long Yin and their group. She was furious and couldn't help but go to Wei Fu and asked, "Why didn't you save me just now?"
Wei Fu blinked his eyes and said cutely, "When I came over, I saw that young man saving you!"
"I saw that he was quite skilled in martial arts and those assassins were no match for him, so I didn't intervene."
Su Rui: “…”
Well, it was a good thing that Wei Fu did not intervene, otherwise she would not have had the chance to meet this young man.
She snorted and got into the carriage.
Although Wei Fu met her, he did not go with her.
Instead, he escorted the person back with his legs swinging, and other officials would handle the subsequent matters.
They went back and after handing over the work to the officials of the yamen, it was time for dinner.
Wei Fu handed the little boy from the bun shop to Tingyu, asking her to take care of him, and then ran to have dinner with the prince and the others.
When she went to the dining room, she saw the young man having a pleasant conversation with the prince and Su Cheng.
Su Rui was riding in a carriage, so she had to return earlier than Wei Fu and the others. She thought that since someone had saved him, it was normal to invite him to her house for tea and dinner, so she made the invitation. However, the young man felt that it would be inappropriate for him to disturb Su Rui, a woman, so he declined.
But Su Cheng just came back at this time, so Su Rui quickly told Su Cheng that she was rescued by that young man.
Su Cheng invited the young man to have dinner together.
The young man did not refuse anymore.
After the prince held Wei Fu and sat down, he introduced him to Wei Fu: "Fu'er, this is Master Zhou Xi, who saved my cousin on the street."
Wei Fu politely raised his little paw, did not mention what he had seen on the street before, and was polite and lukewarm to Zhou Xi.
Seeing Wei Fu like this, Su Rui felt unhappy and thought that Wei Fu looked down on Zhou Xi, a man of the underworld.
"Princess, do you dislike people from the Jianghu?"
Is this the first time Su Rui calls Princess Wei Fu?
Wei Fu looked at her in surprise and did not answer. Instead, he pointed at a piece of braised pork and said, "Big brother, Fu'er wants to eat some meat."
She is very tired today.
Although she didn't have to find evidence or anything for this morning's case, she was very tired.
She needs food to cheer herself up.
Wei Fu had ignored Su Rui before, and although Su Rui was angry, she was just angry. But this time, Wei Fu's behavior made Su Rui's face fall.
It made her feel humiliated.
She slammed the table and looked at Wei Fu angrily: "Princess, I'm talking to you, are you deaf? Can't you hear me?"
The prince's face suddenly darkened: "Since you are not hungry, go back to your room and rest!"
Su Cheng also looked unhappy, thinking that his sister was too ignorant.
The princess, at such a young age, already knew how to share the prince's worries and do things for the people. Every day she was like a little adult, helping sincerely. He felt distressed watching her.
But my own sister is already of marriageable age, and she doesn't know how to do anything except making unreasonable demands.
Seeing that Su Rui didn't move, he pulled Su Rui up and said, "I'll take you back!"
Su Rui shook off Su Cheng's hand and asked angrily, "Whose brother are you?"
"Before, you said I was wrong when I said that the princess was wrong. Yes, sometimes I was wrong, but what did I do wrong today?"
"The princess was on the road, and when she saw me being attacked by assassins, she didn't come to help, but just watched me being besieged by assassins. Just now, I spoke to her, but she ignored me and treated me like air. This was clearly her fault, so why is she punishing me and scolding me?"
Su Cheng and the others didn't know that Wei Fu had met Su Rui on the road. After hearing what Su Rui said, they all looked at Wei Fu, but they all felt that Wei Fu was not that kind of person.
After hearing what Su Rui said, Wei Fu didn't explain anything. He just held the bowl and ate without grunting.
Long Yin said in annoyance, "Hasn't this been explained before? We didn't take action because we saw this Master Zhou take action and knew that Master Zhou could save you, and we were still escorting the prisoner."
"Miss Su is truly forgetful. If you dislike us so much, why don't you go back to Jingzhou first? Otherwise, we won't be tired of each other if we stay together."
Su Cheng's face couldn't be any darker: "If I were the princess, I wouldn't want to talk to you either."
"Think about it yourself. How many times has the princess saved you? And what is your attitude towards the princess? With your current attitude, the princess can punish you even if she wants to."
"Mr. Long is right. If you don't want to come with us, then go back first!"
Su Rui said angrily: "Go back if you want. Do you think I want to be with you?"
"There's no brother as biased as you. My attitude towards her is because she provoked me first."
The prince was tired of listening to this, and he didn't want Su Rui to say anything unpleasant to hurt Wei Fu, so he said coldly: "Cousin, take your cousin away!"
Zhou Xi stood up at this time and tried to appease them gently: "Your Highness and Master Su, please don't be angry."
"Miss Su, please calm down. I know you are like this because you were frightened by the assassination today."
"It's too dangerous for you to go back alone. It's better for you to go with your brother. The assassins who tried to kill you have not yet been identified."
