Chapter 1300 Rumors Are Spreading (2)
As the young lady of the Duke of Liguo's mansion, Xiangyun has a noble status and naturally would not carry money with her. Now she is surrounded and forced by a group of injured people. She can only agree but cannot take out the money.
"Everyone, when my guards and maids come, I will definitely compensate you. Please wait."
A drunk whose arm was scratched by the carriage saw Xiangyun's hair full of pearls and jade, and she was alone, so he became greedy, "Young lady, saving people is like putting out a fire. What if your people come and delay our injuries? Since you are unwilling to compensate, I will take it myself..." As he said, he stretched out his greasy big claws to grab the silk-threaded golden phoenix hairpin on Xiangyun's head.
Xiangyun was startled, screamed, hugged her head and hid back.
The drunk saw Xiangyun dodge and stretched out his claws to grab it. Just as his hand was about to touch the golden phoenix hairpin on Xiangyun's head, suddenly, a cold light flashed, and a willow leaf knife with a cold wind flew over. With a "whoosh", it accurately pierced the drunk's wrist.
The drunk was stunned for a moment, and then covered his wrist that was pierced by the knife and screamed.
"Oh, my hand----"
Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction where the knife flew. Outside the crowd, Situ Changge walked over with a gloomy face, walked to Xiangyun's side, and half blocked Xiangyun in front of her as a protector. His handsome face was full of clouds, and he looked coldly at everyone and the drunk who was crying and howling.
Xiangyun saw Situ Changge coming back, slowly put down her hands on her head, complained: "Why did you come back just now? Just now... I was scared to death... Woo woo..."
The man slightly turned his body, looked at the girl with eyes as red as a rabbit, and his heart softened, saying: "I'm sorry, I came back late and frightened you!"
In fact, he had tried his best to rush back. In order to save time, he did not subdue the horse, but killed it directly. The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he was afraid of the current situation. Unexpectedly, when he rushed back, he still saw a scene that made him distressed.
She was surrounded and threatened by a group of vulgar people, and a man even wanted to use violence on her, which frightened her like a frightened rabbit, with red eyes, holding her head and hiding straight back.
He felt distressed and shot out the flying knife in his sleeve without thinking. Although he was always calm and composed, and he always abided by the gang rules, at this moment, for her panicked little face, nothing mattered to him. He just wanted to protect her and not let her be bullied.
Xiangyun was so scared that she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what she said to him, but after hearing his warm and caring answer, she realized how unreasonable her complaint was to him.
To him, she was just someone he had just met. No one could blame him for saving her or not. But she was as willful as a child. She was angry and complained to him just because he came back a little late. He reminded her not to leave in advance. It was her disobedience that caused the trouble. In the end, he saved her. But she still blamed and complained. She was really... too ignorant...
Just when she was thinking in frustration whether she should apologize to him or say something to him, the drunkard with the wrist shot through was already shouting: "Ouch, my arm was scratched by you. Not only did you not pay compensation, but you also crippled my hand. You are simply bullying and oppressing innocent people..."
This sentence immediately resonated with the wounded and the people. Everyone blamed Xiangyun and Situ Changge for injuring people so badly.
