Chapter 142
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao lifted the car curtain and looked out, and saw a thick tree lying across the middle of the road. The tree was so thick and lush that it was indeed difficult to move.
Chun Xing couldn't sit still any longer, so she lifted the curtain and walked out. She jumped off the carriage and walked to the big tree. She bent down and wanted to hug the tree away.
Seeing her move so skillfully, Luo Shuiyao didn't understand what she was going to do. She saw that she wanted to hug the tree trunk by herself. Before she could say anything to stop her, she saw Liu Xiangdong coming out with a group of people, pushing away the weeds more than one person tall on the roadside.
Today, the coachman was driving a carriage with the emblem of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He usually drove the Marquis's wife to various families to attend banquets, so naturally he recognized the Second Young Master Liu.
Seeing that he came with ill intentions and an aggressive demeanor, he frowned and asked, "Second Young Master Liu, what are you going to do?"
Liu Xiangdong's lips curled slightly, his eyes gleaming with malice as he stared directly at Luo Shuiyao, who had lifted the curtain and was looking out. "I'm not doing anything. I've heard that Miss Luo is incredibly beautiful, and I just came here today to meet her with my friends. I don't have any other intentions."
Seeing that Liu Xiangdong had bad intentions, the coachman and Zhuangzi jumped off the carriage and stood in front of it. Chun Xing also stepped back a few steps and stood side by side with them, making a protective gesture.
The driver, Qian Gang, had also worked at the Marquis's mansion for many years and considered himself somewhat respectable. Seeing this, he coldly rebuked, "My young lady is the cousin of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion. Second Young Master Liu is acting like this, leading a bunch of street urchins to intercept us. If my Lord Marquis were to learn of this, he would surely come to question us."
However, Liu Xiangdong smiled nonchalantly upon hearing this. "Hmph, she's just an orphan with no connections to the Marquis's Mansion. How could she have the nerve to allow the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to tear apart the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion over her?"
Then his expression changed, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Qian Gang: "Get out of here."
Qian Gang hadn't expected that the Second Young Master Liu wouldn't even give him face, showing no fear of the reputation of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion. He panicked and turned to look at Luo Shuiyao for help.
Luo Shuiyao lifted the curtain and jumped down from the carriage. She stood behind them and looked up at Liu Xiangdong.
"Second Young Master Liu is quite arrogant. People who know your family know that your family is just a baron's mansion, but those who don't know would think that you are some kind of royal relative. At the foot of the capital, you, as a son of an official, knowingly break the law and despise the royal law, yet you are not afraid of being punished by the Kyoto government at all, right?" Luo Shuiyao said with a cold gaze and sharp words.
Liu Xiangdong's expression changed slightly when he heard Luo Shuiyao's words, but he quickly regained his arrogant demeanor. "Hmph, you think the Jingdu Prefecture would offend my uncle's family over an orphan like you? Don't be naive. I want to see you today. If you obey me, I can spare your life. Otherwise..."
Liu Xiangdong threatened. The people behind him had been ready to make a move since they saw Luo Shuiyao's appearance, and now they rushed up impatiently.
Luo Shuiyao was not afraid at all. She straightened her back and winked at Zhuangzi and Chunxing.
In an instant, the two men quickly disarmed the men who had rushed up and kicked them to the ground.
Liu Xiangdong barely had time to react when he saw the people he had brought lying on the ground wailing. A chill ran down his spine, and he cursed, "What a bunch of rubbish!"
Then he took a few steps back and prepared to leave.
When Liu Xiangdong left the house today, he didn't bring any servants from the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion with him. Instead, he ordered his attendants to fetch some hooligans from the market. He worried that if he used the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion's servants, he would be hard-pressed to escape responsibility. But if he used hooligans, he could easily shift the blame onto them. Presumably, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion wouldn't investigate so strictly for the sake of its reputation, and certainly wouldn't antagonize the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion over an orphan girl.
And when he found out that Luo Shuiyao went out with only two maids and an old coachman, he was secretly delighted. It was indeed a godsend opportunity.
He thought that the group of grown men he brought with him could not possibly deal with a few old, weak, and disabled people. However, he never expected that these two maids would be so skilled in martial arts.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless and these people were knocked to the ground by the two maids with just a few blows, he began to think of retreating, thinking that today was not the only day to teach this orphan a lesson, and at worst he could plan it later.
But he didn't expect that he wanted to leave now. How could Luo Shuiyao let him get away so easily?
On the other side, Yang Wei and his companions stuck their heads out to look at the two people standing at the intersection, and faintly heard their conversation.
Two scoundrels were leaning against a big tree by the roadside, holding a piece of dogtail grass in their mouths, and were staggering and talking about something.
Yang Wei and Yang Yu moved closer and heard one of them say, "Second Young Master Liu said we should wait a while until those people finish their business before letting us pass."
Another person echoed, "Hey, I can't help but get excited when I think about how we can enjoy the company of a beautiful rich lady."
The man was a little suspicious when he heard his words: "I don't know where that young lady comes from. If her family comes looking for us, what should we do?"
The man who had just revealed a greedy look waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Second Young Master Liu gave us fifty taels of silver each. After we enjoy it, we brothers agreed to avoid Kyoto for a while and come back after this matter is settled. What's there to be afraid of?"
The man nodded when he heard his words. "Indeed, fifty taels is enough for us to live happily for a while. When we come back in a year or two, who will remember who we are? Besides, if these rich ladies experienced something like this, they would probably die of shame and anger. We don't have to be too afraid. Her family will definitely not publicize this matter, otherwise the reputation of her women will be ruined."
The two looked at each other and laughed obscenely.
Yang Yong heard them talking nearby and couldn't help but feel angry. He wanted to rush up and scratch them immediately.
Yang Yu was also furious. He turned around and looked at Yang Yong.
Yang Yong nodded at him.
Yang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ferocity flashed in his narrow eyes, and he rushed forward while the two were not paying attention.
The two men were just thugs hanging around in the city. How could they beat him? They were knocked to the ground in just a few moves.
The thug holding the dogtail grass in his mouth dropped it instantly, and then he started cursing: "Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you attack me!"
At this time, Yang Yong took a step forward and pressed him to the ground with his knee.
Hearing the foul language coming out of his mouth, Yang Yong did not hesitate, raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face several times. The force was so great that after a few "crackling" sounds, several of the thug's teeth were knocked out and blood gushed out of his mouth.
