"Look! Look!" The woman looked around at the people, then pointed at Xiaolian and said, "This girl has admitted it all!"
"What are you doing? What are you doing!" The two guards finally noticed the situation and quickly came over to protect Su Lixia.
"I never imagined that the rumors were true, and I even witnessed it with my own eyes." Lin Ziwen fanned himself with a fan, enjoying the spectacle.
Su Lixia smiled awkwardly and said, "That's all in the past. I've already turned over a new leaf."
Lin Ziwen took a deep breath, then exhaled, and then wrapped his arms around Su Lixia's waist.
While Su Lixia was puzzled, Lin Ziwen simply said, "Hold on tight!"
With a leap, Lin Ziwen embraced her and jumped down from the second floor. The original book did not mention that Lin Ziwen knew martial arts, let alone used them.
What's going on? What mechanism did I trigger?!
Su Lixia was shocked!
"Judging from that woman's appearance, I didn't want to let you off easily, so I apologize for my rudeness." Lin Ziwen apologized for his actions earlier.
"Not at all, thanks to you, young master. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. But you can even fly!"
Although she had already experienced it once, Su Lixia was still very curious about this kind of thing that wasn't mentioned in the original book.
Lin Ziwen chuckled and said, "I only know some light-body skills, nothing as exaggerated as the princess described."
"Princess! Princess!" Xiao Lian also escaped and ran out, but Su Lixia was nowhere to be seen. Then she ran towards the palace and indeed ran into her.
"Xiao Lian!" Su Lixia had completely forgotten about Xiao Lian. Looking at Xiao Lian with her hair all disheveled, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her and amused.
"What happened to you?" Su Lixia asked with concern.
"Just now, when that fat woman saw you being taken away, she pushed through the crowd to chase after you. I stepped forward to stop her, but she actually grabbed my hair!"
Su Lixia brushed aside her stray hairs and said with heartache, "You've really suffered, Xiaolian. It's my fault for not protecting you well! How is that woman?"
"He was taken away by the guards, and I guess he was taken to court and handed over to the prefect for questioning."
Su Lixia frowned, exclaimed in shock, and said, "These were all minor matters, and it was my fault before. Here's what we'll do: you go there yourself, release that woman, and give her some extra money. That'll settle things once and for all."
"Huh?" Lian'er asked in confusion, "But she also humiliated the princess!"
"Oh dear! It's nothing serious! You should go now!"
"Okay." So Xiaolian tidied herself up and went over.
Once inside the carriage, Lin Ziwen asked, "Even if you made mistakes in the past, isn't the princess angry that she humiliated you in public like this?"
"I can't even remember how it happened to her son, but it must have been really outrageous. Marriage is a major event for us Central Plains people, especially since it's a man's responsibility to carry on the family line. If I really delayed him, that would be truly hateful."
Lin Ziwen shook his head and smiled, saying, "If you ask me, I think they're just after the position of the prince consort. With their wealth and status, how could they not find wives?"
Su Lixia scratched her head and said, "Never mind, let's hurry back to the palace."
So when Xiaolian returned, they went straight back to the palace.
And somewhere on the second floor behind them.
"Your Highness, shall we go back too?" the young guard tentatively suggested.
Someone chuckled and said, "I said I was just there to watch the show, but I didn't expect to actually see something interesting."
"What's so interesting about Young Master Lin rescuing the princess from dire straits? It's just a classic case of a hero saving a damsel in distress!"
