Prince Sui approached An Jiuyue slowly, greeting Prince De and Jian Xun.
“My 21st brother is here! Oh, and our young Xun is here too! What’s wrong? Have you taken a fancy to this young lady too?”
His ill-mannered hand reached for An Jiuyue’s chin rudely.
“My 21st brother, the maids serving you in Prince De’s residence are almost filling up the backyard. How about letting me have this one this time?”
Before Prince De could even reply, he watched as An Jiuyue narrowed her eyes and grabbed Prince Sui’s wrist.
“Ah!” Prince Sui’s scream cut through the air.
“Let… Let go… Hurry… Let go… It hurts… It hurts…”
Prince Sui’s face flushed red in pain. He lifted his other hand, intending to swat An Jiuyue’s hand away.
“Ah!” There was another scream. A silver needle pierced Prince Sui before it could even touch the back of An Jiuyue’s hand.
His legs gave out, and he knelt down slowly.
He felt as if his entire arm had shattered. He was trained in martial arts, but it hurt so much that he could not even stand and had to sit.
Prince Sui’s guards could not stand by idly when they saw An Jiuyue bullying their master.
They immediately rushed past Prince De and toward An Jiuyue, ready to beat her up and seize her.
However, these men were nothing to An Jiuyue.
She raised her leg and kicked the guards away with a few roundhouse kicks, despite their supposed skill. They collapsed to the ground and were unable to get up.
Prince De was speechless. Thankfully, he did not get in her way. Otherwise, he would be the one beaten up!
Jian Xun, that immoral thing, wants to use me to cause trouble? I’ll teach him a lesson when we get back!
The people Qian Jiyun brings back are clearly just like him—not to be trifled with! How dare he try to use me to cause trouble!
Jian Xun’s hair was standing on end. He gulped and took a subconscious step back.
If Prince Sui, that big idiot, didn’t appear suddenly and shielded us from this disaster, Uncle and I would’ve been the ones beaten until we kneel on the ground.
No, not Uncle, but me! I was standing closest to An Jiuyue!
Why did Mother ask me to do this? It’s a thankless task! We didn’t even bring a guard with us. How can we bring such a valiant lady back to Prince De’s residence? Even my toes know it’s impossible!
“What did you say you wanted to do? Where are you taking me?”
An Jiuyue held on to Prince Sui, but her gaze remained fixed on Jian Xun.
“I—” Jian Xun opened his mouth, but he suddenly lost his voice.
The Prince De Residence, of course! However, he suspected the lady would kill him if he said that.
After all, Prince Sui had only reached out to An Jiuyue but was already in such a miserable state. He had not even touched her!
Yet, Jian Xun wanted to get her to the Prince De Residence! He would be near his death!
