Chapter 503 Subduing Young Master Xue!
Rong Yue was also angered by this Second Young Master Xue. You forced someone to marry a girl, and you still dare to be so arrogant! Does this mean that only your Xue family is in charge of Huayang County, and that it is your Xue family's world?
Mu Xin Nuan thought about why she came to Huayang County this time. It was because Lu Shaofeng and others alone could not shake the Xue family. Today, she encountered such a thing as soon as she went out. It was really a rare opportunity.
only?
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes flickered, and a plan came to her mind.
"Young Master Xue, is that it? Heh, I am indeed from out of town. So what? I have no idea what kind of prestigious family your Xue family is. However, even if the Emperor himself came, he couldn't just take my fiancée away like that! As for you?"
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, she glanced at him twice before saying disdainfully, "And what are you anyway, daring to swagger in front of me?"
Young Master Xue had always been arrogant; from childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. His temper flared immediately, and he pointed, "Guards, beat him up!"
"Yes, Second Young Master. Just you wait and see."
Now that the fight had begun, Mu Xin Nuan and Rong Yue naturally had to step back. As for the so-called guards that Second Young Master Xue had brought, they were nothing more than people who knew a little bit of fancy martial arts, just there to freeload at the Xue family's house. They weren't really that capable.
They had only exchanged a few moves when they were all knocked down, while on Mu Xin Nuan's side, only one person had made a move from beginning to end!
Even the dim-witted Second Young Master Xue realized something was wrong and understood he had messed with the wrong person. Supported by his subordinates, his legs swayed as he pointed a trembling finger at Mu Xin Nuan and said, "You, you guys, don't you dare run away! Just you wait!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who had attacked earlier stepped forward, startling the Second Young Master Xue so much that his body went limp, and he could barely walk without being supported by his subordinates.
Watching them run away, Mu Xin Nuan didn't say anything else.
Instead, it frightened Old Man Pei and the others quite a bit.
The boy skipped over to Mu Xin Nuan, and said with great admiration, "Young Master, you were really amazing just now!"
Mu Xin Nuan looked down at him, reached out and patted his head, and smiled, "Your name is Yuan Bao, right?"
The boy nodded vigorously. "Young master, my name is Yuanbao. You were truly valiant just now."
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled softly, "The one who was so heroic just now was that older brother, not me."
Old Man Pei sighed heavily. "Young master, thank you for your help just now, but... alas, you'd better leave quickly. Otherwise, if he brings his men over soon, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."
The old woman also wiped away her tears. "Yes, Young Master Li, you should hurry. If you delay any longer, it may be too late."
Mu Xin Nuan lowered her head and pondered for a moment. She then instructed a guard to send a message to Duanmu Chu Ze. She herself decided to stay there and sat on a small stool in the courtyard. "Someone, take Old Man Pei and his family away without fail. I want to see just how capable that Second Young Master Xue really is."
"Yes, son."
In fact, the guards were not worried about Mu Xin Nuan's safety at all. The princess did not know martial arts, so she could not sense it. However, when they confronted Xue Er Shao's men, they could clearly feel the killing intent from the shadows. That aura was very familiar and should be the secret guards who had accompanied the prince before.
Old Man Pei was confused and naturally couldn't leave. "Young Master, don't try to show off here. That man was a tyrant of the Xue family. If you don't leave now, you might not be able to leave at all."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder Pei, I'll be fine."
Although Old Man Pei didn't want to cause trouble for others, given the current situation, he feared that if his family didn't leave, Xiao Meng would really be violated by that beast.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Xin Nuan let Old Man Pei stay, while the others were taken away by her guards.
The two, one old and one young, sat down in the courtyard and began fiddling with some tools for making shadow puppets.
"Huh? Is this an unfinished shadow puppet?" Mu Xin Nuan casually picked up a shadow puppet that didn't have arms yet, and it looked like a woman.
"Young master, the limbs and head of this shadow puppet are carved separately and connected by thread so that it can move freely during the performance."
"Oh." Mu Xin Nuan nodded, then suddenly a wicked smile appeared on her lips. "I wonder what it would look like if that Second Young Master Xue were beaten into this shadow puppet-like state?"
"Huh?" Old Man Pei didn't understand for a moment and expressed his confusion. But Mu Hua behind her understood and immediately burst out laughing, "Young Master, if he comes in a little while, I'll beat him up like this, then you'll understand, won't you?"
Mu Xin Nuan was initially delighted, but then shook her head. "The Prince governs Yan with the law. Even if we are of high status, we cannot act in this way. It is wrong for him to condone his subordinates' violence, so we should naturally find a way to bring them to justice, rather than resorting to violence to stop violence."
Rong Yue seemed to understand, but she said with some resentment, "There's nothing wrong with using violence to fight violence, just like that bastard, Second Young Master Xue."
Before long, a few more people appeared in the courtyard. Before Mu Xin Nuan's smile could even spread, she was taken away. Before leaving, she turned back and shouted to Old Man Pei, "Don't worry, Uncle, nothing will happen."
Given Mu Xin Nuan's insistence, Duanmu Chu Ze did not take her too far in the end. He simply stopped the carriage at the entrance of the alley. Not long after, Xue Er arrived with a large number of men, each armed with weapons, and they rushed directly toward Pei Lao Han's house.
Mu Xin Nuan snorted coldly, "You're courting death! A Ze, it shouldn't be difficult for you to punish this Second Young Master Xue today, right?"
Duanmu Chuze gave her a cool look and forced out a single word through his nostrils, "Mm."
Mu Xin Nuan wasn't annoyed by his attitude. Instead, she carefully lifted a small opening in the carriage curtain and looked out with great interest.
Before long, they heard countless screams coming from the alleyway. Mu Xin Nuan even heard Xue Er Shao's wails, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Just as the constables were bringing those people out tied up, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly pulled down, and she herself was also tightly restrained by a strong force, unable to move at all.
"You seem to be in a good mood? Hmm?" The last syllable of her voice rose slightly, and Mu Xin Nuan suddenly felt a tightness in her throat. She gave a dry laugh, wanting to dodge, but she couldn't move at all. She could only plead, "Aze, I was wrong."
