After saying that, Xu Youyou glared at Xu Jinhuan and turned to leave.
As Xu Jinhuan watched her departing figure, only one sentence remained in his mind: That's it?
He said something harsh and left, acting like a primary school student.
Just then, a plump woman came out of a house and greeted Xu Jinhuan with a smile.
“Jin Huan, let’s stay in this room. It looks clean enough, and there’s some straw inside. We can just dust it off and go to sleep.”
Xu Jinhuan nodded, went inside, found a clean spot to sit down, opened her bundle, reached in, and took out two steamed buns from her spatial storage to eat.
Eating steamed buns while listening to the patter of rain outside the window creates a unique and pleasant atmosphere.
Unlike the tranquility of Xu Jinhuan's place, Xu Youyou encountered trouble again.
"Hehe, talented lady, we didn't have a chance to get to know each other better last night, so you'd better spend more time with us brothers today."
"Yes, we were really tormented by that man in black last night. Who did this all because of? It was because of you! Don't you have to make it up to us?"
The two constables stood in front of Xu Youyou with a somewhat lewd air, talking while brazenly eyeing her body.
Xu Youyou subconsciously took two steps back, her eyes filled with disgust and fear, silently calling out Lei Tingjun's name, hoping he would descend from the sky and rescue her.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
At this time, Lei Tingjun was still recovering from his injuries in the capital and was too busy to save Xu Youyou.
“Talented girl, don’t be afraid, we will treat you very gently.”
"Yes, you're playing with the Fifth Prince, and you're playing with us too. It's all the same, so why refuse?"
The two constables approached Xu Youyou step by step with lewd smiles, and their words gradually became more and more vulgar.
Xu Youyou was forced to retreat slowly, gradually being cornered. Seeing that she had nowhere to retreat, she had no choice but to invoke the Fifth Prince's name.
"You all know I am the Fifth Prince's woman, aren't you afraid that he will punish you if he finds out?"
Upon hearing this, the constable suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly mocking Xu Youyou's ignorance.
"Xu Youyou, do you still think you're the young lady you used to be? Now you're just an exiled criminal. The Fifth Prince is busy with state affairs every day, how could he have time to think about a nobody like you?"
"Just look at those people who came to rescue you last night. They were obviously all half-baked and incompetent. If the people in the capital really wanted to save you, why would they send people like that!"
Xu Youyou instinctively wanted to refute, but she couldn't say that the person who came last night was Lei Tingjun, so she could only swallow her words.
Seeing that Xu Youyou had nothing to say, the constable seemed to perk up and continued to speak in an lecturing tone.
"You should be more down-to-earth and take good care of us brothers. Then we can keep you outside the mansion as a mistress. That would be much more comfortable than you suffering in the north."
After saying this, the constable prepared to loosen his belt.
Xu Youyou hugged herself tightly in fear, but suddenly her eyes lit up as if she had an idea.
“Brother constable, there are two of you. I can’t serve you all by myself, and I won’t be able to do it to my heart’s content.”
The two constables exchanged a glance, and one of them asked, "So what do you mean?"
Xu Youyou said with a smile, "You should know that I have a younger sister. Although she is a little thin, she is very beautiful. Even I envy her."
Why don't we, the two sisters, serve our two elder brothers together? That would surely create a beautiful story.
That's what she said, but what Xu Youyou was really thinking was that with Xu Jinhuan's current temper, he would definitely make a scene if something like this happened.
I just don't know if Xu Jinhuan's fighting skills are good enough to defeat two constables.
Ideally, both the two constables and Xu Jinhuan would be severely injured, so that she could reap the benefits.
After listening to Xu Youyou's words, the two constables exchanged another glance. "The two sisters together? That's a good suggestion."
They said excitedly, "As expected of a talented woman from the capital, she really knows how to have fun. You wait here, we brothers will be right back."
After saying that, the two left the house.
Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "Please don't come back."
"Squeak"
The dilapidated door of the house was opened again.
Xu Youyou glanced alertly at the doorway and instinctively moved to a corner.
"Miss Xu, are you alright? I just saw Old Liu and the others leave this room," Officer Li asked with some concern.
This is our future cash cow, we absolutely cannot afford any problems!
Xu Youyou thought Xiao Li was worried about her, so she gently smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile.
"It's nothing. They seemed to have something to do; they said a few words to me and then left. By the way, thank you so much for yesterday. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been..."
At this point, Xu Youyou wiped her eyes, looking somewhat frightened.
Looking at Xu Youyou's somewhat affected manner, Xiao Li's eyes flashed with disdain. He thought that once she entered the brothel, he would have to get the madam to teach her a lesson, as her acting was far too mediocre.
Looking at Xu Youyou's plain figure and delicate appearance, Xiao Li noticed her delicate features.
He thought to himself, "If it weren't for her reputation as the most talented woman in the capital, and the extra money I could get if she were sold, I wouldn't have helped her at all."
But he spoke only sweet words, “Miss Xu, there’s no need for that. I have long admired your talent since I was in the capital. It is my great honor to be able to accompany you on your journey.”
Xu Youyou was surprised to find that this person was also her fan. After a moment of surprise, she became quite smug. Her reputation as a talented woman was indeed somewhat useful.
They didn't even consider whether she wrote the poem herself.
Just as the two were having a pleasant conversation, a scream came from the dilapidated temple.
"ah!"
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Youyou's lips curled up slightly; it seemed her plan had succeeded.
"Brother Li, let's go see what happened."
The constable, Xiao Li, nodded noncommittally. The delivery time was approaching, and he only needed to keep an eye on the most important goods.
Following the sound, the two men saw several women using old, worn-out brooms meant for sweeping temple courtyards, forcefully hitting the two men's bodies.
As the women beat him, they cursed, "You're old enough to be a father to young girls, and you still dare to do such a despicable thing! Have you no shame?!"
"Even if I die, I will not let you harm my daughter!"
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. What was going on? Where was Xu Jinhuan?
Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan, who was on Xu Youyou's mind, returned to the dilapidated temple in the rain. She had just used her lightness skill to scout out the surroundings.
Originally, we were looking for a high-altitude place suitable for a large group of people to stay temporarily during heavy rain, but we unexpectedly discovered something...
As Xu Jinhuan took off her raincoat, she looked at the scene before her with confusion. What had happened in the dilapidated temple? She had only gone out for a short while, yet someone dared to beat up the constables.
What immense hatred must have accumulated to dare to risk one's life?
"Xu Jinhuan, you are very good."
Xu Youyou looked at Xu Jinhuan, who was completely detached from the matter, and said through gritted teeth.
