67 Repayment
◎I want Xiaoyaoer to pledge herself to me◎
The guests on the first floor were all eating hurriedly, oblivious to what was happening with Shu Yao. The shopkeeper kept bowing and scraping beside Master Wang. Seeing Shu Yao's simple attire, he figured she must not be someone important, so he said to Master Wang, "Master, calm down. I'll send someone to your room in a moment."
Prince Wang approached Shu Yao with a wicked smile, sucked hard on her neck twice, and shouted with an intoxicated expression, "Delicious, delicious."
Shu Yao felt nauseous, but she was restrained by two people and couldn't move: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Prince Wang looked her up and down with ill intentions: "I have taken a fancy to you. If you serve me well today, I will let you go."
"You are forcibly abducting a woman." Jiang He, who was standing next to him, was trembling with fear, but she still mustered up the courage to resist.
Only then did Prince Wang notice that there was such a pretty girl next to him. An evil idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He gave the shopkeeper a look, and the shopkeeper immediately understood and called two thugs to restrain Jiang He.
Jiang He was frightened and burst into tears instantly. In a panic, she knocked over the dishes on the table and looked at Shu Yao for help, her little face full of tears.
Shu Yao shook her head and told her not to worry, while she was quickly thinking of ways to deal with the situation in her mind.
But Young Master Wang didn't give her any time to think. With a command, she and Jiang He were forcibly taken to the second floor.
The diners on the first floor seemed to be used to it and just kept eating. Some of the women even left without finishing their meals. No one cared about today's farce.
The waiter brought out the roasted Eight Treasures Duck, only to see the mess on the floor. He scratched his head, sighed, and took the duck back.
On the second floor, Chen Jing'an lowered the curtain, pursed his lips, and his eyes were grim.
Noticing that something was wrong with him, the young man in blue opposite asked, "What's wrong with you?" He rarely saw Chen Jing'an with this expression.
Chen Jingan raised his eyes and said, "Huaizhu, let's stop here for today. I'll listen to the rest tomorrow."
The man named Huaizhu slowly stood up, opened his fan and waved it, then walked away without saying a word.
Chen Jing'an stared at the tea in the cup that was rippling slightly, his eyes filled with gloom.
Shu Yao and Jiang He were taken to a private room. Prince Wang ordered his men to tie them both to chairs. Jiang He struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the harder the punches fell on her.
Shu Yao quickly signaled her to stop. Jiang He believed Shu Yao, and sure enough, the thugs stopped beating her.
Shu Yao knew that in this situation, resistance would only speed up her death, but if she pretended to be obedient, there might be a chance of escape.
In the huge room, only Prince Wang, Shu Yao and Jiang He were left. Everyone else had left obediently.
Prince Wang's fingers, which were as fat as pig's trotters, kept touching Shu Yao's face: "Beauty, what's your name?" He smiled, his eyes full of lust.
Shu Yao didn't answer him.
Prince Wang was not in a hurry. Instead, he went to the table and drank a glass of strong liquor. When he drank the second glass, he took out a packet of white powder from his sleeve and mixed it into the wine. He tilted his head back and drank a big gulp, then forced Shu Yao to drink the rest.
Shu Yao naturally knew that it was not a good thing. She closed her mouth tightly and the wine flowed down her chin, but some of it still went into her throat.
She felt a little uneasy.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Prince Wang suddenly became exasperated. He threw down his wine glass, crossed his arms, and looked down at her condescendingly: "My little beauty, you have a strong temper. How about we play a game?"
After saying that, he picked up an apple and put it on Jiang He's head without caring about her reaction.
Jiang He was sweating profusely. The apple on her head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it hard for her to breathe.
Prince Wang stood farthest from Jiang He, holding an extremely sharp knife in his hand. He asked Shu Yao, "My little beauty, do you think I can stab that apple?"
When Jiang He heard this, she was so scared that she almost fell off the chair. The apple on her head fell to the ground with a "pop", and she couldn't stop shivering all over.
Shu Yao also widened her eyes in horror: "Don't touch her, come to me if you have anything." She was very upset. If she had not brought Jiang He to the capital, she would not have encountered these bad things. But now is not the time to regret, she must quickly find a way to get rid of this fat pig.
When Prince Wang saw the apple fall, he picked up another one in displeasure and was about to put it on Jiang He's head when he heard Shu Yao say, "Prince Wang, I have a more interesting game here. Do you want to try it?"
Prince Wang became interested when he heard this. He put down his knife and apple, turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shu Yao deliberately smiled coquettishly.
The prince's soul was taken away.
"Young Master Wang, can you help me untie it first?" She smiled innocently.
Prince Wang was lustful, but he still had some sense: "What if I untie you and you run away?"
Shu Yao glanced at Jiang He who was standing beside her. "My sister is still here, how could I possibly run away? Besides, Prince Wang's men are all outside the door, so I can't run away even if I want to."
Prince Wang touched his chin and thought about it. It made sense, so he untied her. The moment the rope was loosened, Shu Yao picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it on the back of his head quickly and accurately.
Prince Wang howled like a wolf, rolled on the ground with his fat body, covered the back of his head, and cursed at Shu Yao: "You stinky woman, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you?" He wanted to get up, but his head was dizzy and he had no strength.
Seeing that he had not fainted yet, Shu Yao prepared to give him another shot.
But at this moment, a man in black suddenly flew down from the beam in the dark, knocked Shu Yao back with a palm, and helped Prince Wang up from the ground.
Prince Wang slapped the man in black in the face and said, "You only came out after seeing me get beaten. Why did our Wang family keep you here?"
The man in black stood there silently without saying a word. He was indeed distracted just now.
Shu Yao didn't expect that this prince had secret guards, and she made a mistake.
Prince Wang grinned grimly, took out a shiny dagger and slowly walked towards Shu Yao.
Jiang He also realized that the situation was not good. She shouted helplessly: "What are you doing? Don't kill my sister."
But Prince Wang ignored her and squatted in front of Shu Yao with a knife in his hand. The tip of the knife gently scratched her cheek. The cold touch made Shu Yao shudder all over. She seemed to smell the scent of impending death.
Prince Wang smiled wryly: "You are so brave. Don't worry, I will let you go after I peel off this beautiful skin of yours. Hahahaha."
Skinning?
Shu Yao was finally scared. She wanted to escape, but the secret guard pinned her to the ground and she couldn't move.
The sword was pressed against her forehead, and the hideous smile on Prince Wang's lips grew wider and wider. Just when she felt the tip of the knife was about to dig through her skin, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening.
Prince Wang stopped what he was doing. His mood was ruined and he looked towards the door in displeasure. But when he saw the person coming, he was slightly stunned for a moment.
Shen Jing'an was holding a pot of wine and said in an intoxicated tone, "I heard that Prince Wang got two little beauties. This prince also wants to see their beauties."
Hearing the familiar voice, Shu Yao suddenly looked up at the door. When she saw the familiar figure, she suddenly felt relaxed, like a dying fish finally seeing the water source.
Prince Wang cursed inwardly. His family was just a royal merchant who contracted all the restaurants in the capital. In the final analysis, they were just a family of merchants. Seeing a royal relative like Shen Jing'an, he still felt a little uneasy.
He threw away the knife and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Prince Shen is here, please take a seat."
Chen Jing'an walked right past him and came in front of Shu Yao.
When Shu Yao saw him, she suddenly felt like crying.
Chen Jing'an bent down, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his warm fingertips, gave her a reassuring look, and then said to Prince Wang: "Prince Wang, I want these two girls."
Prince Wang was naturally unhappy. He slightly frowned and said, "Prince Shen, this is not very kind. How about you play with me?"
Chen Jingan snorted disdainfully, "How dare a mere commoner negotiate with this prince?"
When Prince Wang heard this, his expression changed several times and he kept rubbing his hands: "Then the prince must leave one for me."
Chen Jingan laughed angrily and asked, "Are you sure you want to leave one for you?"
The prince knew that he was angry and shrank his neck: "Thank you for your love, I will give these two girls to you today." After all, he couldn't afford to offend the Prince Changxiang's Mansion.
Chen Jing'an didn't say anything, but helped Shu Yao up from the ground. After being freed, Shu Yao quickly ran over to untie Jiang He.
Jiang He has not yet recovered from his shock.
As they walked out, they heard Prince Wang muttering unhappily, "What a bullshit Crown Prince! Once Prince Changxiang's second son is born, who knows who will be the Crown Prince."
After hearing these words, Shu Yao looked at Chen Jing'an with some concern, but Chen Jing'an seemed to not take Prince Wang's words seriously at all, and his face was calm.
He took the two of them to his box.
"Xiaoyao'er, were you scared just now?" He gently tidied up the loose hair on her temples.
Shu Yao was very grateful to him: "Thank you for saving me today, Prince."
Chen Jingan smiled and said, "In that case, Xiaoyao'er owes me another favor. How are you going to repay me? Or perhaps, give yourself to me?"
"Ah?" Shu Yao raised her head in shock.
Shen Jing'an gently rubbed her head: "I was just talking nonsense."
Shu Yao felt relieved and said "hmm". Chen Jing'an really helped her so much. It seemed like he would appear every time there was danger to help her solve it.
He is really a very good person.
Jiang He stood timidly beside Shu Yao, not daring to even look at Chen Jing'an. The person standing in front of her was the prince, and she, a commoner, dared not peek.
Shu Yao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Jiang He: "Have a cup of hot tea to calm your nerves."
Jiang He drank it obediently. She really wanted to thank Chen Jingan, but she didn't dare.
Chen Jing'an's eyes were always on Shu Yao: "Xiao Yao'er, I heard that you went to Dongping Village?" The Ji family fell into decline and their property was confiscated. When he heard Mei Niang say that Shu Yao had returned to the countryside, he thought that their fate had ended there, but he didn't expect to meet her again today.
Shu Yao nodded: "I guess we will live in Dongping Village from now on."
Chen Jing'an said nothing more.
Shu Yao thought for a moment and said, "That Young Master Wang is not a good man. I don't know how many girls he has harmed. Can you do me another favor, Prince?" She had just made such a big noise downstairs, but no one came up to help. It was obvious that they were no longer surprised by Young Master Wang's behavior of robbing girls. If this continued, who knew how many more girls would be harmed. However, her power was too small, so she shamelessly asked Shen Jing'an for help.
Chen Jingan knew what she meant as soon as he heard it: "This young master Wang has indeed committed many evil deeds. I will go to the government to make some suggestions."
Unexpectedly, he agreed. Shu Yao immediately said, "Prince, if you need me in the future, just let me know. I can do it." In her heart, Chen Jing'an's image became taller.
After this incident, Jiang He no longer had the heart to travel. After saying goodbye to Chen Jing'an, the two took a ox cart back to Dongping Village.
Chen Jing'an looked at the two people's departing backs with an unclear expression.
Along the way, Shu Yao kept comforting Jiang He, fearing that this incident would leave a shadow on her.
Fortunately, Jiang He was open-minded: "Sister, luckily we met the prince today. We are quite lucky."
Shu Yao: "Go home today and have a good sleep and forget all the unpleasant things."
Jiang He nodded.
The two arrived at the village entrance when the sun was setting. Shu Yao suddenly felt hot for no reason.
