Novel Bin Chapter 257 - 257 I Can’t Breathe!
He had come after receiving the news and had yet to see Princess Ning Fu! He only saw that the letter said that Princess Ning Fu had been humiliated by Madam Liu, who had just followed her husband to the north!
As for why they butted heads…
The letter didn’t elaborate. It only mentioned that Duke Huai Yang’s mother’s wife and Princess Ning Fu had been bullied. Even the door of Duke Huaiyang’s residence had been smashed by this arrogant and domineering woman…
!!
From his point of view, what other reason could there be for conflicts between women? It was none other than trivial matters!
Therefore, when he heard that the carriage in front belonged to Lin Suisui, he didn’t hesitate to give her a show of intimidation!
However, he didn’t expect Mrs. Liu to be such a tough nut to crack!
After Wei Qing appeared, what he originally thought was just a trivial matter went out of control.
“Are you serious? Mr. Zhou, you just came to cause trouble for my sister with such fanfare, but you don’t even understand the circumstances of the matter?!”
Seeing Zhou Hengchang’s tense expression and silence, Wei Qing couldn’t help but shout at him as he sized him up contemptuously. “You’re really stupid. You’re even helping the person who set you up!”
Zhou Hengchang’s expression immediately turned ugly again.
However, it had to be said that Wei Qing’s words gave Zhou Hengchang a way out. He didn’t say anything else and only glared at Wei Qing coldly and glanced at Lin Suisui, who was still standing in the carriage at the side. Then, Zhou Hengchang turned around and quickly left with a group of people.
After Zhou Hengchang left, Wei Qing quickly turned to look at Lin Suisui and said seriously, “Sister, let’s leave quickly! That guy is super moody. Later, he might change his mind and come back to cause trouble. We have very few people, so we’ll be in danger!”
As Wei Qing spoke, he gestured to Su Le and quickly mobilized people to rush back.
Not long after they walked forward, they saw Lu Ze rushing over with a group of black-armored cavalry. Seeing that Lin Suisui’s carriage was fine, he only nodded at Wei Qing, who was guarding beside him, before jumping off the horse, opening the door, and rushing in.
“Sigh…” Wei Qing only had time to sigh. Before he could say anything, the carriage door had already closed.
Su Le acted as if he didn’t see the troubled look on Wei Qing’s face. After he raised his hand, the stopped carriage slowly moved forward again. Together with the guards Lu Ze brought over, they guarded the carriage as they rushed back.
“I’m fine.” Lin Suisui could barely breathe as Lu Ze held her in his arms. She could understand that he was worried, but before long, she couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hand and patted his back as she struggled to remind him, “Let go. I can’t breathe!”
“Next time…”
Lu Ze let go of Lin Suisui and sized her up nervously before speaking in a low voice. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Suisui. “I’m fine. You’ve arranged enough people to protect me!
Today’s matter is just a small accident! Who would have thought that the Zhou family would be so cocky and domineering as to attack me in Cloud Mountain City?!
Don’t worry, if I encounter such a thing again, I’ll just give in first and let you deal with them later!
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
When he heard Lin Suisui’s words, although Lu Ze’s expression improved a little, his anger had not completely dissipated. He patted Lin Suisui’s back before saying in a low voice, “These families have already become deeply rooted in the north over the years. They all have marital alliances with each other’!
Therefore, they’re already used to getting their way!”
Actually, the second young master of the Zhou family still had some sense of propriety. There were many people who were even more presumptuous than him!
Therefore, this was also the reason he was so nervous and afraid after learning that Lin Suisui’s carriage had been stopped by the Zhou family! After all, if she encountered others from the Zhou family, such as the even more tyrannical Zhou Hengyuan, the consequences…
“If it were those silkpants who only know how to enjoy their ancestors’ merits, they wouldn’t even be able to touch the edge of my carriage today.”
When Lin Suisui heard about Lu Ze’s worries, she comforted him in a low voice, “The people around profligates aren’t that strong! For example, were those soldiers beside Gao Xuwei or those soldiers from Duke Huai Yang’s ministry useful?!”
Lu Ze was clearly in a bad mood today, so he was much quieter than usual.
After returning home, Lu Ze sent Lin Suisui to the front yard. It was unknown what he was doing, but he only returned to his room in the middle of the night. When Lin Suisui woke up in the morning, Lu Ze had already left early. It was said that he had returned to the Imperial City’s government office to deal with official matters.
Although she had a dangerous encounter yesterday, Lin Suisui didn’t change her arrangement of going to Doctor Luo every day.
Firstly, she wanted to go over and take a look at the situation of those soldiers. Secondly, it was almost the new year, so she could also ask Doctor Luo what else he lacked for the new year.
After all, there had only been six of them in the past. Now that there were these soldiers, it was definitely impossible for them to leave during the new year!
Therefore, there were probably a lot of things to prepare.
Doctor Luo was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. After welcoming Lin Suisui down from the carriage, he came over to pay his respects, but he didn’t report the situation of the soldiers to Lin Suisui directly. Instead, he asked about Lin Suisui’s encounter with Zhou Hengchang on the way yesterday.
“I’m fine. It was just a small accident.” Lin Suisui didn’t expect that Doctor Luo would find out what happened to her last night this morning.
“Although Duke Huai Yang’s ministry doesn’t seem powerful, and there’s only an old princess and a princess in the residence now, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The few large families in the north used to be under Duke Huai Yang’s ministry’s control.
Even though Duke Huai Yang’s ministry had fallen into decline, those large families would still follow their orders!
“Besides, Princess Ning Fu is not married yet, so many people are eying her!” Although Doctor Luo was just a medical officer, he was much more familiar with the situation in the north than Lin Suisui was.
