Chapter 442: Must Take Care
Chapter 442: Must Take Care
"Who is your master?" Xing Yue asked with a puzzled look.
She receives so many guests every day, and she never knows who would do such a thing just because they covet her.
The leader refused to say anything. After all, it was in public and speaking out would bring unnecessary trouble.
He just threw Xingyue out and said condescendingly: "You will know who my master is when you see him. Take him away!"
At the command, the group of men behind them rushed forward, grabbed Xingyue and dragged her out forcibly. No matter how she struggled and cried, it was of no use.
At this moment, everyone in the hall watched all this happen quietly, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.
Even the person in charge of Fengyue Tower was pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Su Lanyin asked anxiously, "Who are they? Don't you care about them?"
The young man looked helpless: "They are people around the Fifth Prince. The master they are talking about is naturally the Fifth Prince. We are insignificant and have little influence. Who dares to intervene?"
"But Xingyue works in your store. Are you just going to let her be taken away?"
"Why do you think my shopkeeper is not in the store at this hour? He is obviously avoiding me on purpose. He also wants to protect Miss Xingyue, but... no one wants to have a conflict with the prince's people. If we offend the royal family, how can we gain a foothold in Shengjing?"
Su Lanyin was a little angry, but she also understood what the shopkeeper did.
Putting aside the fact that Xingyue was useful to her, she could not forgive him for forcibly abducting a woman.
As a woman, she must take care of what she can!
Thinking of this, Su Lanyin jumped up and flew down directly from the second floor. The boy behind her widened his eyes in surprise, and his mouth was so big that he could fit an egg.
"stop!"
Su Lanyin landed directly in front of the group of people. Her righteous appearance made her pretty face look more masculine.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you be so lazy?"
The leading man's lackey questioned angrily.
Su Lanyin was too lazy to waste time talking to them and went straight to the point: "Let him go, or don't blame me for being rude."
The men were stunned at first, then looked at her thin body and burst into laughter.
"What did you say? Hahahahaha..."
"Boss, he said he would be rude to us, haha..."
"With such small arms and legs, I'm afraid she'll break her hands if she hits someone!"
……
There was contempt and disdain in the eyes of several people, but Su Lanyin didn't care.
She raised her hand, and saw several silver needles flashing with cold light. She flicked her hand, and the silver needles immediately flew out.
With a few "whoosh" sounds, the tall and strong men on the opposite side fell to the ground one by one and lost consciousness.
Other people in the hall watched with great interest, even with surprise.
Before everyone could react, Su Lanyin immediately pulled Xingyue and ran away.
The two of them kept running all the way until they entered Zuixianlou, where they stopped.
Su Shengming was sitting in the front doing the accounts. When he heard the voice, he looked up and saw his sister dressed in men's clothes and holding a girl by the hand.
He immediately stood up and greeted her: "Yinyin, what are you doing? This girl..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stunned, staring at Xingyue's eyes without blinking, full of disbelief.
Su Lanyin was panting heavily and finally recovered. Just as she was about to explain, she saw her third brother staring at the person next to her.
She looked back and found that the veil on Xingyue's face had fallen halfway when she was running away just now.
At this moment, she had not yet realized that she had been exposed and was still full of confusion.
It was not until Su Lanyin pointed to her cheek that she realized what was happening.
"Uh... my veil..."
Xing Yue hurriedly reached out and grabbed the veil and put it back on to cover her beautiful face, her eyes full of nervousness.
"sorry, I……"
Su Lanyin was puzzled: "What are you sorry for? It's my third brother. What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman before?"
Su Shengming was choked when he realized what was happening. He lowered his head in shame, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He explained awkwardly: "I... I didn't mean anything else, I just... I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have stared at the girl."
Su Lanyin snorted at him, then took Xingyue's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Xingyue. My third brother is not a bad person. He just hasn't seen the world."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been played around by bad women before.
Xing Yue frowned, pulled her hand away, stepped back a few steps, looked defensive, and said cautiously: "Thank you for saving me, sir, but men and women should not touch each other..."
"what?"
Only then did Su Lanyin realize that she was wearing men's clothes.
She raised her hand and took off the hairband on her head. Her inky black hair fell down, matching her delicate features, showing her feminine charm.
"You...you are a girl...I see you...you seem familiar..."
Xingyue frowned and stared at her face, thinking carefully, and finally, she remembered something.
"Flower boat! Poetry gathering!"
Su Lanyin nodded: "That's right, I went there with my second brother."
"So it's you. You're from the Su family, no... I heard that you severed your relationship with the Su family. I should call you Miss Lu."
"Don't worry about home, just call me Lanyin."
"Miss Lanyin, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect you to help me out again."
"We are all women. We should help each other when we encounter troubles. Don't you think so, Third Brother?"
"Ah? Oh, right!" Su Shengming was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded when he realized what was happening. "Sit down and take a rest. I'll have someone bring you some tea. You're all sweaty from running around. You don't look like girls anymore."
Su Lanyin stuck out her tongue at him, then asked as she retied her hair, "Miss Xingyue, how did you offend Fu Mingli for no reason?"
"Fu Mingli? Oh, you mean the Fifth Prince?"
"Ah."
"He is a royal relative, how dare you call him by his name?" Xing Yue said nervously, "If someone else hears it, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here."
What Su Lanyin said was true. The business of Zuixianlou had not yet recovered, so there was not a single customer now.
Xing Yue sighed, with a sad face: "The Fifth Prince went to Fengyue Tower on the night of his engagement. It happened that I was singing on stage and he took a fancy to me. However, he was unwilling to pay money to redeem me, so he wanted to rob me. The shopkeeper naturally refused, but he didn't dare to offend him, so the situation became deadlocked."
"After that, the Fifth Prince sent people to Fengyue Tower to cause trouble several times. The shopkeeper was also afraid, so this time he chose to escape and let me be taken away."
Su Lanyin was puzzled: "You are his cash cow, how could he be willing to give you up?"
"He is reluctant, but he doesn't dare to offend the Fifth Prince."
"This Fu Mingli is such a bastard!" Su Lanyin said angrily.
