Chapter 375: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (9)
The two maids behind also bowed.
Mrs. Xu quickly helped the man up. Such standard etiquette must have been taught by the elders in the family.
She had originally looked down on the young lady from the Yan family, and it turned out that she was too narrow-minded.
Madam Xu asked for tea and snacks to be served, and Yan Xue politely took off her veil.
When Madam Xu saw her, she was stunned. Her appearance was no less beautiful than that of the queen in the palace!
When Lord Xu heard that someone had arrived, he hurried over from the front yard.
Yan Xue bowed to Lord Xu. Lord Xu looked at Yan Xue's appearance and was shocked. He said quickly,
"Niece, there's no need to be so polite. Your father and I were once good friends. He did a lot for the people of Jiangzhou.
I didn’t expect that… Well, let’s not talk about it anymore. Now I need to trouble you with something.”
Yan Xue had a good impression of this prefect, but he was a little too familiar. Moreover, she had never heard her father mention this person, even her niece.
But he was a high-ranking official after all, and one more backer would give her one more way out. She quickly stood up and saluted again, "Since it's Uncle Xu, you can talk as you please."
Xu Zhonglin nodded. This girl was very smart. He told her how he wanted to lure out the three evil men.
Yan Xue frowned and said, "Uncle Xu, you probably don't know that I was seriously injured while chasing the three evil men.
I almost lost my life, and it took me more than a month to recover. My four brothers wouldn't let me go out, but now I saw Madam Xu's post, so I accepted the invitation and came forward."
Prefect Xu smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know this. He quickly said, "Don't worry. We will arrange people to protect you this time. We will never let you get hurt."
Yan Xue smiled. This seemed a bit empty talk.
When Prefect Xu saw that the girl didn't respond, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just let me know what you think. As long as it's within my ability, I'll try my best to satisfy you."
Yan Xue shook her head. "I don't have any ideas. I just hope that Uncle Xu can help me if I encounter difficulties in the future."
When Prefect Xu heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly responded, "Of course, of course."
......
"Prince, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Duanmu Ci shook his head, "No, she will agree."
"Ok."
At 3 p.m., Yan Xue changed into a red dress and left the room with Baoya and Huang Ying. She wanted to take a good stroll around Jiangcheng this afternoon.
The three of them walked around for a long time, but they didn't see a single young woman on the street. At most, there were a few older women shopping on the street.
At this time, a breeze blew by, and Yan Xue's veil accidentally fell off. When the people around saw the lady's appearance, they gasped in surprise: "Oh my God, she is so beautiful!"
At this time, Duanmu Ci, who was drinking on the third floor of Zuiyue Tower, caught a glimpse of this scene.
My heart, which had been silent for a long time, beat twice unconsciously, and I didn't look away until the figure disappeared.
Qin Yu next to him continued the previous topic and said, "Prince, I have arranged six guards to protect Miss Yan tonight. I believe they will be able to capture the three evils."
Duanmu Ci drank a glass of wine and said, "No need."
"Oh, no?"
"Yes, no need, I will protect it myself."
Qin Yu's expression was complicated, "Prince~"
Duanmu Ci curled his lips and said, "Don't worry."
Yan Xue spent an afternoon walking around and had already visited half of Jiangcheng.
She was so tired that she found a restaurant that was said to be the largest in Jiangcheng and asked for a private room.
After the three of them sat down, the waiter served them tea. Baoya took the menu and ordered six of the restaurant's signature dishes.
Although she can't eat, she knows a lot.
Yan Xue took off her veil, sat by the window, and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
Xiao Guang's voice suddenly sounded, "Host, the three evil men are watching you in the restaurant across from you."
Yan Xue glanced up and saw a few noblemen sitting by the window opposite her. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had handsome faces.
She then retracted her gaze, "You tell me that the three men opposite are the three evil men?"
"Yes, host, they are the best at disguising themselves, so it is not easy for them to be found."
Yan Xue thought about it and it made sense. With their appearance as noble gentlemen, no one would have thought that they were actually the three evil guys!
Yan Xue finished her meal hastily. Just as she got on the carriage, she heard a neigh and the carriage suddenly started running away.
Baoya and Huangying hadn't gotten into the carriage yet, so they hurriedly started chasing after it.
Just as Baoya was about to exert her strength, she heard her master's voice in her mind, "No need to chase."
Baoya and Huangying ran after the carriage for a mile, one after the other, and then barely stopped.
Baoya pulled Huangying back, and Huangying asked worriedly, "Baoya, are we going to ignore the young lady?"
"Let's go, the lady has already made a plan, and if we go there it will only ruin the plan."
"But......"
"The Third Master and the Fourth Master have already passed by, don't worry."
"Ok."
Yan Xue's carriage stopped at a secluded place in the city. She got out of the carriage with her head held high.
The veil had already fallen off, and when she looked up, she saw three men standing in front of her.
Yan Xue retreated in panic, her face full of fear and anger, and asked loudly: "What do you want to do?"
The three men looked at the girl with their eyes wide open in shock, and one of them showed an obscene smile.
He walked forward while rubbing his hands and said, "Hey, I didn't expect she would be so beautiful!"
Another person echoed: "Yes, it's really a bargain for the three of us brothers."
They approached Yan Xue step by step. When the three of them were only two meters away from Yan Xue, one of the men suddenly stretched out a hand and tried to grab Yan Xue's chest.
However, at this critical moment, a figure came rushing over like lightning, hugged Yan Xue tightly in his arms, and quickly flew to the roof not far away.
The system shouted excitedly: "Host, host, the male protagonist is here to save you!"
Yan Xue nestled in the man's warm embrace like a kitten. She raised her head slightly and stared at the man's handsome face.
The man's face had clear lines and was three-dimensional like a sculpture. His deep eyes were staring at the three uninvited guests under the beams.
Duanmu Ci felt the girl's gaze, slowly lowered his head, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
That smile was as beautiful as the mountain flowers blooming in spring, which made Yan Xue fall for it.
"Ms. Yan, don't worry, leave these people to me." He said softly.
Yan Xue nodded obsessedly, as if conquered by the man's charm.
The man looked at the three people below who were about to jump up, and reluctantly let go of the girl in his arms.
The obsession in Yan Xue's eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of great interest.
