Chapter 18 Heaven's Warning
Qingqiu dragged Mingye's leg all the way back on the ground.
Qing Ning slowed down a step and caught up with the two men, holding the 100-tael silver notes he had just given to them.
"Is everything cleaned up?" Mingyue asked lightly.
Qing Ning shook the banknotes and said, "My lady, I have taken care of everything. Those two men will not have the slightest chance to tell anyone about what happened today."
Those two people are obviously habitual offenders of human trafficking.
Just the lives of two bad guys.
Mingyue didn't take it to heart at all.
Judging from the lustful looks those two people gave her just now, if Qingqiu and Qingning had not intervened in time, those two stinky mouths would have said something dirty and disgusting.
She dealt with the beast in advance.
This will prevent someone from getting hurt in the future.
She is so kind~
Mingyue couldn't help but feel proud.
*
The bright moon itself is eye-catching wherever it goes.
Not to mention that when she went out, the maid behind her would drag a man over.
Minglian, who was talking to Gu Chengfeng, noticed that Gu Chengfeng seemed absent-minded when listening to her and did not put her first as before.
Now, when she spoke to him, he looked straight behind her.
"Ride the wind? Ride the wind?"
"...Ah...ah?" Gu Chengfeng came back to his senses and scratched his head. "Um, Sister Lian, what did you just say? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?"
Minglian forced herself to hold back and avoid showing any dissatisfaction.
She just lowered her head, twisted the handkerchief between her fingers, dressed in white, looked weak and helpless, and revealed an expression of self-blame that made people feel pity for her.
"I just said that you shouldn't take it personally when Mingyue hit you yesterday. She's always had a bad temper, especially since she came back from outside. I think she didn't get a good upbringing out there, so she may have offended you unintentionally. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Don't blame her. It's all my fault. An elder sister is like a mother. If I had disciplined her properly, she wouldn't be like this."
Xiao Zi stood up for the injustice and cried.
"My Lady, what does this have to do with you? The Second Young Miss has been bullying you since she came back. She has fine Shu brocade to wear, but you don't. She has endless golden charcoal in her house in winter and endless ice basins in summer, but you don't have any of that."
"Young Master, please forgive me for saying so much. If it weren't for you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protecting my queen, she would have been bullied to death by the Second Young Lady in the Marquis' Mansion, and the Marquis and his wife wouldn't have cared at all."
Minglian tilted her head and scolded.
"Xiao Zi, stop talking nonsense. My sister was finally found. I don't know how much she has suffered outside for so many years. As the eldest sister, it's my duty to give her some leniency."
Xiao Zi held her breath, but didn't dare to speak under Minglian's gaze.
I could only stomp my feet hard.
Minglian looked up and was about to say something else.
Gu Chengfeng still didn't seem to be listening to her attentively.
Look behind her.
What's behind her?
Having never felt ignored before, Minglian turned her head.
She wanted to see what was behind her that attracted Gu Chengfeng's attention.
I saw the bright moon walking towards the sunshine, like a goddess descending to the earth. The sunshine seemed to be particularly fond of her, giving her a layer of dazzling golden light.
The breeze blows her skirt as she walks towards us gracefully.
Many soldiers, officials, and female relatives were stunned and stared blankly at the scene before them.
He even breathed softly, as if afraid of disturbing the goddess.
Behind him, a maid named Qingqiu was dragging a man covered in wounds with one hand.
He looked quite disheveled, even worse than a street beggar, and his face was not clearly visible.
But even so, the moment she saw this man, Minglian felt shocked.
It was as if this person was supposed to be hers and would be of great help to her in the future.
This feeling, like before, came for no reason.
But Minglian just trusts her intuition.
Before she could take a step forward, she saw Gu Chengfeng pass her and walk towards Mingyue with a fierce look.
Huo Xingchen and Huo Chenyuan also saw Mingyue go out for a while and then come back with a man whose face was unknown. They both frowned and walked over.
Mingyue glanced at Minglian's shocked expression, as if she had lost something important.
Laughing inwardly.
It turns out that God favors the so-called heroine so much.
Even when she stole the opportunity, Minglian actually warned her.
"Hey, who is this man? How can you be so rude? You just took a short break and brought back a strange man. Do you know if he is a good guy or a bad guy? What if he is an assassin? How will you be responsible if he hurts people in the team?" Gu Chengfeng walked in front of Mingyue first. He was wearing a red dress that was as flamboyant as fire. His long hair was tied in a ponytail. The red hairband fluttered in the wind. He stood in front of Mingyue with his hands on his hips.
Like he's looking for trouble.
But those eyes were fixed on Mingyue's face, which made people's scalp tingle.
Qingning stood beside Mingyue in time, staring at Gu Chengfeng fiercely, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy and attack.
Mingyue raised her hand and asked Qingning to step back.
Even if Gu Chengfeng was arrogant, he would not attack her in front of so many people.
He is just blind and domineering, but not stupid.
If it weren't for the occasion, Mingyue really wanted to slap him again. Seeing Huo Xingchen and Huo Chenyuan also coming, Mingyue cursed in a low voice.
"roll!!"
Gu Chengfeng widened his eyes.
"you…"
Before he could finish his words, someone hit his shoulder hard. He was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground, with his shoulder almost broken.
"Whoever dares to bump into me!" After stabilizing his body, he was ready to settle the score.
Huo Xingchen ignored his look and glanced up and down at Mingyue casually to see that she was fine and had not been harmed by that mad dog Gu Chengfeng.
Now I feel relieved.
He turned around and slowly gave Gu Chengfeng a look.
"I hit you, what do you think?"
When Gu Chengfeng saw that it was Huo Xingchen, he should have admired heroes like him who were skilled in martial arts and defended their country.
But for some reason, he felt unhappy looking at Huo Xingchen.
He said sarcastically, "Don't you have a grudge against her? Have you forgotten how it felt to be abandoned before? Yo, why are you protecting her?"
Although many people don’t know who Huo Xingchen has a grudge against.
But those people at the top can still investigate this little thing if they want to.
Gu Chengfeng raised his chin and looked at Huo Xingchen provocatively.
Huo Xingchen's dark eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Gu Chengfeng was also unwilling to accept it. He knew that he could not beat Huo Xingchen, but he did not want to admit defeat and lose face.
The two were on the verge of a fight.
It seemed like he could rush up and start fighting in the next moment.
Just when the two were about to take action.
Huo Chenyuan's low and majestic voice stopped the two of them.
"Okay, what's the occasion and what are you going to do?"
Turning to look at Mingyue... and the man behind her.
Huo Chenyuan frowned slightly.
"He is...?"
Mingyue lowered her head to avoid his gaze, still acting like a stranger.
"In reply to your Highness, I just went out for a walk and saw him being locked in a cage by two human traffickers in a dilapidated temple not far away. I bought him."
Huo Chenyuan didn't care about the man being caught by human traffickers, but said anxiously.
"Human traffickers? It's so dangerous for a girl like you to go there. How can you be so brave as to save people? What if those two people have bad intentions towards you? What will you do?"
Huo Xingchen didn't say anything.
His scrutinizing eyes fell on the man lying on the ground in a miserable state and injured.
The Mingyue he knew would only do things that were useful to her, and she would not save others for no reason.
Even if a useless person dies in front of her, she won't even give him a glance.
This person...
What's the use?
