After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 247

Huai An could not stand it anymore. He drew out his long sword furiously, "Shut up!"

Seeing that Huai An actually dared to take out his weapon, General Zhang was not polite either. He raised his eyebrows and drew out his saber, "Who are you that you dare to be so presumptuous here!"

Huai An had this kind of temperament that except for the Heir Apparent, he had never yielded to anyone. He was immediately furious and said, "I'm your grandfather!"

After he finished speaking, he started fighting with General Zhang.

As soon as they started fighting, the guards and soldiers in the military camp surrounded them directly, trying to subdue Huai An.

Huai An alone was more than a match for a dozen or so soldiers in this camp.

Ning Changan helplessly said, "Everyone stop fighting! Stop fighting! Stop quickly!"

But no matter how he persuaded, he could not stop them. He had no choice but to turn to Gu Ying, “Madam... You see... This is getting out of hand... Wouldn't it be better to wrong Madam first... We’ll wait until the Heir Apparent returns, then we can talk about this, alright?"

Gu Ying felt a little choked in her throat. The cold wind blew on her face, stinging like a knife, and the chilliness crept into her heart in an instant.

She let out a long breath, trying to put on a smile, but she couldn’t smile at all. She could only turn her eyes lightly to look at the flustered Ning Changan, "Master Ning, when will the Heir Apparent come back?"

Ning Changan faltered, "The Heir Apparent went out with Miss Shen, and he usually comes back after a day or two..."

"I see." Gu Ying pursed her lips, she didn't know what to feel. She took a look at Huai An and said lightly, "Huai An, stop fighting."

These plain words made Ning Changan feel sour in his heart.

Huai An gritted his teeth, "Madam!"

Gu Ying smiled and said, "I said, there is no need to fight them anymore. We'll wait for the Heir Apparent to come back."

Huai An frowned tightly, and stopped his actions.

General Zhang was furious with shame. He asked his men to take down Huai An, Gu Ying, Yin Lan and the other troublesome thugs.

Gu Ying was a little absent-minded, her thin body swayed unsteadily in the cold wind.

Yin Lan supported her distressedly, seeing her expressionless look, her eyes slightly red.

Ning Changan pleaded anxiously and pulled General Zhang aside, not knowing what he said.

After a while, General Zhang with the surname Zhang came back with a black face.

"Since Counselor Ning has vouched for you, you can come in. If you dare to make trouble again, be careful or I’ll chop off your legs!”

...

The bustle disappeared.

A soldier came to lead them inside.

Gu Ying's lips were dry. It took her a long time to regain her senses. She placed her hand on Yin Lan's wrist and leaned half of her body against her, before she had some strength.

There was a faint pain in her lower abdomen again. She wrinkled her eyebrows and took a deep breath.

She realized that when she heard this news, she didn’t blame the Heir Apparent at all in her heart.

It was as if men should be like this, just like Jiang Yin, no one would be loyal to their oaths or loyal to a woman.

She had already experienced betrayal once in her previous life. To experience it again now seemed commonplace, and it did not hurt as piercingly as in her previous life.

If she had not come this time, she would not have known of Miss Shen's existence.

When the Heir Apparent returned to Bianjing for disaster relief, would he be concerned about her feelings and the Duke Residence’s reputation, so he would secretly raise Miss Shen outside first?

Then, when the timing was right, would he accept Miss Shen into the Duke Residence smoothly and logically?

She shook her head by herself.

Fortunately, she had come.

She could accept that there was a Miss Shen, but she could hardly accept being deceived and betrayed.

If the Heir Apparent really cared about this Miss Shen... she could also let them be together happily. But the divorce book would still have to be written.

Ning Changan kept chattering apologies in her ear, asking for forgiveness.

"Madam, I'm really sorry... I didn't tell you the truth about the Heir Apparent and Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen is very skilled in painting, and she has saved many commoners. The Heir Apparent does treat her differently from others... But I can also see that the Heir Apparent loves Madam very much, he often mentions you to us.”

"Madam..."

Ning Changan could not go on, hesitating whether to speak or not.

"Are you...alright?"

Gu Ying felt a little funny. Forgive him for what? He didn't do anything wrong, he just kindly lied to her in order not to let her be sad...

It was she herself who insisted on following him all the way. It was also she herself who was too confident...

Now it seemed that she was still too young.

After walking inside for a while, Gu Ying could no longer walk. Her legs felt as heavy as lead, the road ahead seemed endless, and the gray sky had started to drizzle at some point, the icy raindrops falling on her face, the chill piercing to the heart, making one shiver. On both sides were the curious eyes of the commoners sizing her up. She stood in the center, listening to the whispers of those people.

"Is this girl really here to find the Heir Apparent?”

"What about Miss Shen then?"

"No matter how beautiful this girl is, how can she compare with Miss Shen? Have you forgotten that Miss Shen nearly met with danger last time, and it was the Heir Apparent who personally sent people to fetch her?"

Gu Ying suddenly curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile, or it couldn’t be considered a smile. It was just that the arc of her mouth was cold and aloof, with a hint of sadness.

Then, to everyone's surprise, her body softened and she fell sloppily into the rain.

"Madam!” Yin Lan anxiously shouted.

At this point, Ning Changan didn’t care about anything else. He bent down to pick her up and wanted to carry her to his own tent.

But General Zhang walked over to stop him horizontally with his saber, and coldly snorted, "She's just a commoner, she doesn't deserve to stay in a good tent. Throw her into the tent below where the humble people live."

Ning Changan angrily said, "Zhang Mo! You will regret this!"

Zhang Mo arrogantly said, "Regret? There is nothing in this world that I regret! When the Heir Apparent is not here, my words are imperial edicts. Ning Changan, if you dare to disobey, I will make you unable to walk away!”

He lost face in front of everyone today because of Huai An, and now he extremely disliked Huai An and Yin Lan, the two servants.

As for this exquisitely beautiful young lady from a prestigious family, he still had some interest.

After throwing her into a lower-grade tent, he would look for an opportunity to secretly tie her up and bring her to his own tent, to taste the flavor of such a beauty. How enjoyable!

...

When Gu Ying woke up groggily, it was already the second half of the night.

Raindrops were falling on the tent roof, making the tent extraordinarily quiet.

She was in a small tent, lying on a dilapidated straw mat, with Yin Lan sleeping next to her.

After days of running around, even Yin Lan's sturdy body could not stand it anymore.

Gu Ying sat up and took advantage of the dim candlelight in the tent to gently caress the dark circles under Yin Lan's eyes. She didn't disturb her and just sat there absent-mindedly for a while by herself.

Fortunately, their bundles and belongings were still there. She covered Yin Lan with the blanket on herself, got up and took out a black pellet from the bundle to hold in her mouth.

The pellet was extremely bitter and hard to bear. She closed her eyes expressionlessly and swallowed it.

Right after she finished taking the medicine, she heard Huai An's voice outside.

"Is Madam awake?"

Gu Ying opened the curtain to see Huai An standing in the rain with his black clothes all wet, "Huai An, come in quickly."

Huai An shook his head and glanced sideways at Yin Lan lying inside, "When there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkeys reign as kings. Zhang Mo is not our person. I dare not casually expose my identity. While Madam was fast asleep, I have already found out the whereabouts of the Heir Apparent. I plan to set off to find the Heir Apparent now. With me away, Madam, you must take good care of yourself and wait until I come back with the Heir Apparent." After he finished speaking, he turned to leave without waiting for Gu Ying to speak.
