Chapter 61 The Self-Righteous Prince of the Ye Family
On the way home, Gu Ruanci recalled Lu Enyan's words, "Just come to me if you need anything," and felt at ease.
"County Lady, this prince is not as cold as he appears."
Nong Chun sat in the carriage, fiddling with the things Lu Enyan had given her.
Zang Xia also said, "From what I heard before, I thought he was a very difficult person to approach."
Gu Ruanci replied, "I've been ill for a long time. Although I have an enviable background, Prince Duan is like that. He favors his illegitimate children and even keeps his distance from the princess. His younger brother is always trying to replace him. If I trusted others easily in such an environment, I don't know how many times I would have died."
Nong Chun and Zang Xia nodded and said nothing more.
"County Master, the road ahead is blocked..."
Changsong said something in front.
Gu Ruanci asked, "Who is it?"
"It looks like someone is fighting. I'm going to take a look."
Not long after, Changsong came back and said that a man was beating his wife in front.
"What kind of man is this?"
Nongchun couldn't help it and said something casually.
"What's the reason?" Gu Ruanci asked calmly.
"That woman was being beaten and still screaming, wasn't it because she didn't cook for her mother-in-law..."
Zang Xia couldn't help it: "This is too much..."
Gu Ruanci remained calm and asked, "With so many people watching, was there no one trying to stop it?"
"They've stopped them. The man's face was red and he couldn't speak clearly. He was about to hit someone. The woman was sitting on the ground complaining to someone."
Changsong found out everything very clearly and spoke directly.
Gu Ruanci thought for a moment and said, "Since someone is already in charge, let's go around it..."
Chang Song said, "County Lady, there are more and more people, and the intersection is blocked. We really can't get out. Or, let's go back and take another route."
"Get out of the way, let me see who is so shameless as to hit a woman in the street."
A familiar voice came from over there.
Gu Ruanci thought it was Wen Haiyue, so he asked Changsong to stop turning around.
"Let's go and have a look."
Then, she took Nong Chun and Zang Xia out of the carriage and walked towards the scene of the incident.
As I got closer, there were indeed a lot of people gathered around. I could hear someone scolding the man, accompanied by a woman's crying.
"What's the point of crying? You have hands and feet. If he dares to hit you again, just fight back!"
Sure enough, it was Wen Haiyue's voice.
"How can I beat him?" The woman looked aggrieved and her voice trembled.
On the other hand, the man was still angry and wanted to go forward and hit someone even though he was being held down by several people.
"I must beat you to death today!"
The man's shouting completely infuriated Wen Haiyue.
She turned around and wanted to punch the man.
"Sister Haiyue..."
Wen Haiyue had already swung his fist into the air, but was stopped by someone.
She looked closely and saw that it was Gu Ruanci who appeared in the crowd.
"Sister Soft Words, you're here too? Just watch over there while I take care of this bastard first."
"Sister Haiyue, what identity do you want to use to teach him a lesson?"
Gu Ruanci didn't think much about it and spoke up to stop him.
Wen Haiyue's fist paused in the air again, and then he looked at Gu Ruanci suspiciously.
"Sister Soft Words, what do you mean? Do you think this man shouldn't be beaten?"
After Wen Haiyue finished asking, someone on the other side said contemptuously, "A man like this is simply a disgrace to us. It's really puzzling that the Chaoyang County Princess would defend such a man."
A man walked out from another direction, looking at Gu Ruanci with disappointment in his eyes.
"It's the Yunyang Marquis's son..."
The onlookers recognized the person and stepped back a little.
Gu Ruanci hadn't seen Ye Chenglei for ten years, and she didn't expect that their next meeting would be in such an occasion.
Ye Chenglei looked at his cousin who had been missing for many years, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"My dear gentlemen, please save me. If you don't save me, he will really beat me to death..."
The woman changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position and bowed towards Ye Chenglei and Wen Haiyue.
Many people couldn't help themselves after seeing the woman's action and even spoke harshly to the man.
But the man did not defend himself, and always tried to break free from the other person's grip and rush towards the woman.
"Lord Chaoyang, are you sure you want to protect someone like this?"
Ye Chenglei asked again, his tone filled with confusion.
Even Wen Haiyue said: "Yes, soft words, this man is simply too bad..."
Gu Ruanci had a good impression of Wen Haiyue before, so she was meddling in this matter.
"Just report it to the police. They will always find a way to deal with this kind of thing. You injured someone, but they are still family."
Gu Ruanci still didn't want to get involved in this mess, especially when she looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, and her clothes formed a sharp contrast with the man's.
"Princess Chaoyang, you are also a woman, how could you be so cold-blooded?" Ye Chenglei asked in disbelief.
Gu Ruanci looked at him indifferently and asked, "Since you are so enthusiastic, I will take care of it to the end. But I have to tell you in advance, if you hit the wrong person, remember to take responsibility."
"What do you mean? So many people saw this man beating his wife and even threatened to kill her, and you're saying we were wrong to punish him?"
Ye Chenglei's words were just as infuriating as those of the Zhou family.
Wen Haiyue sensed something from Gu Ruanci's resolute attitude. She walked up to Gu Ruanci and asked, "Ruanci, did you discover something?"
It seems that although this person is a bit impulsive, he is not stupid after all.
"Sister Haiyue, didn't you notice that the man looked disheveled and skinny, while the woman was dressed in bright clothes and had fair skin?"
After Gu Ruanci finished speaking, the woman's crying stopped abruptly.
Ye Chenglei then looked over and found that the man's clothes were indeed tattered and had many patches on them, but the woman's were completely the opposite.
"A husband who dotes on his wife like this and now goes on a rampage and hits others, is there no hidden agenda?"
Gu Ruanci's words suddenly made an idea flash through Wen Haiyue's mind.
"Are you cheating on me?" She looked at the woman and asked directly.
The woman immediately argued: "No, really not, I just forgot to cook for my mother-in-law, and she beat me when she came back!"
When the man heard that someone was willing to take an impartial perspective, he finally remembered that he could explain himself.
"No, it's not what she said, he sold my sister!"
The man's roar instantly made the people who were suppressing him lose their strength.
The people who had just punched him several times also felt a little regretful.
The woman looked frightened and tried to escape, but she had nowhere to go as everyone was watching.
Gu Ruanci looked at Ye Chenglei sarcastically and asked, "Prince Ye, did you hear that? Do you still want to act like a hero and save the beauty? This man is right here, do you still want to beat him up and seek justice for that woman?"
