Chapter 517: Chapter 517, Must Do It (21 Updates)
Aunt Chen’s hand shot up, and several guards immediately leaped out, “The guards on this boat will show no mercy when they strike!”
Hu Qingcheng was furious.
Sun Yian was also furious.
This was the first time they had been so openly disrespected, and in front of so many people at that.
Sun Yian was arrogant and bold enough to commit murder and arson, with several lives already on his hands.
He bellowed, “Get them for me, snatch that girl on the boat back, and let this young master have some fun with her…”
“Slap! Slap! Slap!”
“Ah…”
The sounds of slaps and screams almost coincided.
By the time everyone realized what had happened, Sun Yian had been slapped.
“Ah!” Sun Yian clutched his face.
He hadn’t seen who hit him at all, only felt a shadow flash by, then his face started to hurt.
His dignity and face swept to the ground, Sun Yian’s eyes reddened with anger, “Get them for me, smash this boat up for your young master!”
No sooner had Sun Yian spoken than the young men behind him scattered, only to be kicked into the river one by one by the four guards.
“Ah ah…”
A chorus of screams ensued.
Mu Rourou was on the second floor, gently pushing open the window, her eyes glowing with excitement.
This, this is what a real man is, skilled in martial arts.
“…”
Xie Yi sat to one side, with Qin Mao beside him. Originally, the three were working on the mechanism that Xie Zhinuan had described, but after getting tired, they decided to heed Mu Rourou’s suggestion and laid out quilts on the floor to sleep.
He hadn’t expected that Mu Rourou would share a quilt with them; she was a lady of a respected family, yet she was so bold.
Thinking about his soul’s age, Xie Yi quickly turned away, deciding to keep his distance from Mu Rourou in the future.
Sun Yian and Hu Qingcheng, seeing their own servant boys kicked into the river, also panicked.
They felt that the owner of the boat might have a formidable background, but also thought that even a strong dragon could not suppress the local snakes, telling themselves not to be afraid.
But only when they too were picked up and tossed into the river floundering did they truly panic.
Struggling to get back to shore, “You, just wait, I won’t let you off!”
Xie Zhinuan stood at the entrance of the cabin, watching with a cold gaze.
As Sun Yian and Hu Qingcheng issued their threats, they also saw her.
“…”
They blinked their eyes.
Indeed, she was a celestial beauty. Judging by her hair ornaments and clothes, she was an unmarried maiden.
Sun Yian’s desire to capture her grew even stronger, determined to have this beauty at any cost.
Sun Yian was more lawless than Hu Qingcheng, the only son in the family doted on by his grandmother and mother, and even the County Magistrate would fulfill almost every request for his beloved son.
Confident in his wealth, he believed he could accomplish anything he wanted to do.
He stood on the shore, his eyes dark and gloomy as he watched Xie Zhinuan. Xie Zhinuan poised herself gracefully, neither avoiding nor retreating, gazing back at him indifferently.
She was not one to provoke trouble.
But neither was she afraid of it, particularly with the situation in Gaocheng County being so problematic. She felt she ought to do something; otherwise, how could she live up to the reputation she garnered by leveraging Li Hengyi’s influence to act with such authority here?
Sun Yian, still cold, was the first to back down.
He snorted, “Let’s go!”
Hearing this, Hu Qingcheng snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed Sun Yian into his carriage.
A group of drenched chickens left in a mighty procession.
Only then did Xie Zhinuan purse her lips and turn to enter the cabin.
“Miss Xie!” Zhao Xiuya and Qin Yu came over, hand in hand.
Both seemed hesitant to speak.
Xie Zhinuan immediately understood that they wanted to leave.
After spending a few days with Qin Mao, Mu Rourou, and Xie Yi, though still calm and shy, Qin Mao had clearly become much more lively.
This was a good thing.
