Chapter 130 Marry me someday!
Princess Liduan's hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, her face was covered in smudges of ash, her clothes looked like she had rolled in mud, and she had lost one of her shoes.
She looked at Sheng Junyao in the sunlight, her eyelids twitched, and she suddenly hugged Lu Yangyang tightly, burying her head in her shoulder, sobbing, "Yangyang, I'm so ashamed to face anyone, sob sob sob~"
Lu Yangyang and her older brother exchanged glances, then Lu Yangyang pulled her away from him. "Don't get my clothes dirty, really, they're already dirty enough..."
To be honest, Princess Li Duan completely shattered her first impression.
My first impression was of a pure green peacock, so bright and beautiful it was just missing its tail feathers.
At this moment, it looked as if he had been pulled out of the mud; his clothes were so faded and dull that you could no longer tell their original color.
“I’m already like this, and you still despise me? I don’t want to live anymore, I have no face to live anymore…” Princess Li Duan covered her face with her hands, and this time the tears rolled down her face with real emotion, leaving two marks on her dusty face.
Lu Yangyang: "You seem to be in pretty good spirits."
Princess Li Duan froze, as if pondering whether she should faint to fit the occasion.
Fortunately, at this moment, the two guards who came with Sheng Junyao brought over two other people who were tied up. They were the same two guards who had led the way for Princess Liduan last night.
Upon seeing Princess Liduan, the two men were filled with remorse and hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "Princess, we failed to protect you properly. Please punish us."
Princess Liduan was in no mood to punish anyone. She had caused such a huge mess that night, and her mother would definitely scold her to death when she saw her.
She waved her hand weakly: "Get up, it's not your fault."
If she hadn't insisted on taking a detour in the rain, she wouldn't have encountered this situation.
"By the way, this family is nothing short of bandits! They're incredibly audacious, even robbing me, the county princess! It's infuriating! You, go and call my men right now! I won't let them get away with this! It's utterly outrageous!" Princess Li Duan snapped out of her daze, practically bursting with rage. "I'm going to have my uncle chop them up!"
Realizing something was wrong, Landlord Zhang, who had led his men to chase after them, heard Princess Liduan's words as soon as he entered the door.
He was completely dumbfounded. Cold sweat poured down his face. He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness: "Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please spare my life!"
"Now you know to beg for mercy? Then who gave you the audacity to lie to me, the county magistrate, last night?! I'm furious! I'll chop off their ancestors for eighteen generations today!" Princess Liduan glared at Landlord Zhang through gritted teeth, then shouted at her guard, "What are you all standing there for? Beat him up! How dare he tie me up?"
Still feeling unsatisfied, he stormed over to Landlord Zhang and kicked him in the face.
Lu Yangyang quickly grabbed her: "Be careful, I'll handle this!"
Then he raised his foot and stomped on Zhang the landlord's wrist. With a cracking sound, he crushed the wrist bone.
"Ahhh!" Zhang the landlord immediately clutched his wrist and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Hmph! You bully others by relying on your power, you big bad guy!" Princess Liduan cursed angrily.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I've already crushed his wrist bone. Don't worry, even a god couldn't bring it back. His hand is definitely ruined. I've avenged you." Lu Yangyang quickly grabbed the man. She hated these idiots who forcibly took women from the common people. Even if it wasn't Princess Li Duan today, she would still cripple this bastard!
“And what about his stupid son!” Princess Liduan shouted. “Pah! His stupid son wants to get married? Does a fool want to carry on the family line and have a whole litter of fools? Stop messing with me, you’re making me so angry!”
Lu Yangyang nodded: "I think you have a point."
"Otherwise I..."
"Yang Yang!" Sheng Junyao shouted, walked over, and said to the two guards, "Drag him away, cripple him, and then send him to the government office for legal punishment."
"Yes." The two guards hurriedly dragged the person away.
Sheng Junyao then looked at the crowd of onlookers who had come to watch the commotion. He walked up to one of the old men, who immediately knelt down, trembling with fear, and said, "Honorable, esteemed person."
“I will report this matter to the local government, and someone will come to investigate. All those involved will be severely punished. I hope the village chief will cooperate,” Sheng Junyao said.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely cooperate, cooperate." The villager kowtowed frantically.
Sheng Junyao glanced at him indifferently and ignored him. As the village chief, he knew there was something wrong with the marriage, but he never thought of reporting it to the authorities. If Yangyang hadn't stumbled upon it, Princess Liduan and the others would have been in trouble today.
Even knowing that he might be restrained by the power of Zhang the landlord and didn't want to offend anyone, Sheng Junyao still found it utterly despicable.
He walked up to Princess Liduan, cupped his hands and said, "Princess, forcibly taking a woman is a serious crime. The government will definitely handle this matter impartially. Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds."
"No, no, you, Brother Sheng handled it very well, thank you Brother Sheng. If it weren't for you and Yangyang today, I would definitely be finished, I..." When Princess Liduan heard him say that he had crippled those two, her eyes were already sparkling. She no longer cared about how he handled it.
At that moment, two pig-like screams came from outside the door, showing how ruthless the attack was. The group of people kneeling at the door were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt down.
“It’s getting late, Princess. Where are you going? I’ll take you there,” Sheng Junyao said.
Lu Yangyang then realized that her encounter with Sheng Junyao was purely coincidental, and hurriedly said, "Brother, you have things to do, so you can go first. I will take the county princess with me. We will go to Qinglian Temple. The princess is there. The county princess should go find the princess."
“That’s on my way. I’m going to the western suburban camp. Let’s go,” Sheng Junyao said.
“Okay.” Lu Yangyang nodded, pulled Princess Liduan along, and followed him outside.
Lu Yangyang rode a horse, accompanied by Princess Liduan. Since Sheng Junyao's two guards had been left behind to help with some tasks, they had a spare horse for Lin Shuang. Sheng Junyao escorted them to the foot of Qinglian Temple, told Lu Yangyang to come and pick her up when she was done, and then turned and left.
After he left, Princess Liduan said with envy, "Your elder brother is so good to you."
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes at her: "You still haven't told me what happened. How did you almost get kidnapped and forced into a wedding ceremony!"
Princess Liduan looked dejected: "Don't even mention it, I've had the worst luck ever. I waited for nothing yesterday, only to find out that my mother had come to Qinglian Temple. I rushed over to find her, but not long after I came down the mountain, I encountered a downpour, and the road collapsed. I wasn't giving up, so I thought I'd take a shortcut. But as soon as I got near this village, I fell into a mud pit, startled the horse, and it ran away."
"At the time, there was no other way. There happened to be a village nearby, so I thought I'd find a place to stay for the night and continue my journey after the rain stopped. Who knew that the house I went into looked the most impressive? As a result, I was drugged and they wanted me to marry their mentally challenged son. I had a sudden idea and said that I was infertile and had gone to Qinglian Temple to seek medicine. They didn't quite believe me, but Lin Shuang jumped out and said that she could marry him. She gave me a look and told me to stall them for a bit. Then I was thrown into the cellar. They dressed Lin Shuang up and said that they were going to have the wedding early in the morning. Luckily, you came in time, otherwise Lin Shuang and I would have been finished."
"Waaah, Yangyang, I love you so much, why don't you marry me in the future?"
