Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 875: Like ambitious people

Shen Luoxin was slightly startled. The embarrassment of having her secret thoughts exposed in public made her at a loss for a moment.

Then a hand stretched out from behind to pull her behind her. The tall man had already stood in front of her, blocking everyone's speculation and her embarrassed expression.

It's Shangguan Chu.

He stood in front of the steps, side by side with Ji Wuyan, protecting Shen Luoxin behind him.

He looked coldly at the girl who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment. Her gauze red dress was dirty and wet and clinging to her body. Her graceful figure was no longer charming. She must have dressed up carefully before coming here. Her face was made up after crying. Horrible.

She probably didn't know it herself.

She also didn't know how many secret guards there were in this small courtyard. Even if Qingshan left, even if she was drugged out, and even if Shen Luoxin never showed up, she, an innocent and ignorant maid, wouldn't be able to get them.

She didn't even know that most direct descendants of aristocratic families would receive training from a young age. Ordinary drugs usually wouldn't work. He was just pretending to be tricked and wanted to see who was responsible.

Shangguan Chu had no intention of telling the other party this.

The last glimmer of light in the other party's eyes was like a candle in the wind, flickering and extinguished. She smiled foolishly, and whispered to herself in despair, "It's her...it's her. If she hadn't suddenly appeared, how could I have failed? Yes, it's her, it's Shen Luoxin's fault... No wonder everyone is Saying that she and her mother are losers will bring disaster... Let me go!"

Their eyes met, and the woman reached out her hand tremblingly, but Shangguan Chu took a half step back without hesitation, then looked down at the other party and said softly, "After all, you should thank Miss Shen... Do you think If you do something wrong to yourself, will you have a place next to me?”

Shangguan Chu frowned, picked up the oil-paper umbrella standing aside and held it up before slowly walking towards the other party. The little girl who was shouting and crying just now calmed down and looked up at Shangguan Chu.

Rather than letting her learn this lesson on her own, it would be better to let her continue to encounter obstacles and suffer losses in the future and then let others teach her.

The scene was lively and chaotic.

Shangguan Chu just lowered his eyes and looked at the almost embarrassed woman in front of him. There was no emotion in his eyes, as if he were looking at a piece of grass, a piece of wood, or a dead object. After a long while, he laughed and said, "What the girl said is wrong. I am a businessman. There is no distinction between high and low here. The maids in the house and the relatives of the emperor are all the same to me. Only you...now In my eyes, he is worse than an ant."

Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, the boy quickly stepped forward and dragged her out. She didn't know where she got the strength to struggle desperately, but the two boys couldn't hold her down for a while. In addition, the ground was slippery and they couldn't use their strength. The three of them fell to the ground one after another.

"Isn't it?" Bai Xue smoothed the messy hair covering her forehead, blocking her sight, and then said, "I've asked about it. There hasn't been any girl around you these years. If I become one, maybe there will be one in my belly. As the first great-grandson of the Shangguan family, why can't I have this place? I just want a place to be ranked, and this is not a high request."

The little girl was kneeling on the ground, her clothes were messy, her hair was messy, and her face was messy. However, when she talked about these things, she was calm and determined, and the ambition in her eyes was clear.

He likes ambitious people, but hates people who are only ambitious. "What are you thinking about, girl." He smiled, his smile cold and dangerous, and his words were somehow filled with a bloodthirsty evil spirit, "If this young master has such a good place next to me, it will be your turn to take it. I didn't want to tell you at first, so as not to scare a little girl like you, but you are always blaming Miss Shen for blocking your path to wealth, so I will let you know clearly so that you don't have to worry about it in the future. Use the means to harm people.”

Bai Xue stared blankly, watching the other person slowly leaning over, watching the other person's mouth slightly curled up with a cold smile, like a demon hiding under the almost perfect skin that was gradually awakening...

She shrank back, took a step closer to her opponent, and whispered softly, "Girl, when you live to this age, do you really not know how young men from aristocratic families resolve these romantic debts that they don't want to admit? Like you What does a human life mean to us?”

After saying that, he raised his lips and smiled, slowly stood up straight, raised his hands and glanced around, "What are you waiting for? Should you wait for Qingshan to come back or wait for me to do it myself? Find a piece of hemp rope to tie a bundle , and then throw her into the busiest area of ​​Dongshi. Since she is from Yanjing and knows many people here, there will always be someone to take her back. "

The boy is like waking up from a big dream.

Bai Xue didn't know whether she was frightened or heartbroken. She didn't even struggle. Like a piece of wood wrapped in a red gauze skirt, she just let a few boys tie her up and drag her away.

Ji Wuyan shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the busiest area in the East Market is nothing short of a romantic place.

If Bai Xue, who is only wearing a red gauze skirt, is abandoned in such a place, she will either be picked up by the madam and taken to the building to be washed and sold for a good price, or she will be taken back by a lustful person and spend the night having fun with someone else. If he were to be rescued by someone he knew well, his reputation would be completely ruined.

It seems that there is a way to survive, but everyone knows that every path is a dead end.

The brother's methods have always been like this, but he rarely takes action against the girl's family. If Bai Xue had not said too much in the end, it would not have ended like this.

It's just that her brother's anger today didn't seem to be for himself, but rather... She turned to look at Shen Luoxin, the light in her eyes grew brighter, and she suddenly felt that Bai Xue's trouble was not entirely a bad thing.

While Shangguan Chu ordered the servant to dispose of the cloak on the ground, he climbed up the steps and handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Ji Wuyan, then bowed and thanked him, "Thank you so much for today's matter, Miss Shen." After that, he bowed again, sincerely. And gentle.

It was completely different from the cold and bloodthirsty look just now.

In fact, Shen Luoxin had probably guessed that even without him, Bai Xue would not have succeeded in what happened today. It's just that at that time, it was true that I was so angry that I wanted to beat the person to death, and now it's true that I felt like I was meddling in other people's business.

Bai Xue screamed out her feelings for Shangguan Chu in front of everyone. Although there was no evidence and no one would believe it, she was so upset that she couldn't say anything polite. She just shook her head and said no, and asked worriedly Ji Wuyan said, "After this incident, will Bai Xue cling to you randomly outside?"

"Just go ahead and grab it." Ji Wuyan didn't care much and nodded outside, "It's getting late, let's go back together?"

"Okay." Shen Luoxin naturally had no objection. After saying goodbye to Shangguan Chu, he took the books he wanted before leaving with Ji Wuyan.
