Donghou Street is located in the east of Kyoto City. It is a well-known slum in the capital. Compared with the prosperity of Kyoto, this place seems chaotic and barren, with all kinds of people, good and bad people mixed together, gambling houses, brothels, and even beggars.

It's hard to imagine that this place belongs to Kyoto.

Si Xi clung tightly to Yun Chaomu, his little face turning pale with fear.

She never expected that the young lady would come to this place. It was so scary. The bearded man selling the equipment had been staring at them for a long time, and the hair on her body stood up.

"Woo, miss, what are we doing here?"

"Find someone."

Clouds on the road in the morning and evening.

Si Xi was about to cry. Looking for someone? Who was she looking for in Donghou Street? But she was a maid and didn't dare to question the young lady's decision.

Yun Chaomu walked along the long street, ignoring the eyes that were staring at them. No matter where the two young girls walked, there would definitely be people watching them. She had been stared at since she was a child and had long been accustomed to being ignored. What's more, she was not afraid of being harassed by others and she would not let herself suffer any loss.

Yun Chaomu frowned. She didn't know where the Chu family had moved to. It would definitely not be okay to walk around aimlessly like this.

"Si Xi, wait here for a moment."

After Yun Chaomu finished speaking, she walked towards a small stall on the roadside where an old lady was selling fruits with her granddaughter. She didn't want Si Xi to know that she was going to the Chu family, so she came over alone to ask.

"Old man, can I ask you something?"

"Girl, what do you want to know?"

The old man asked.

"Excuse me, do you know where the Chu family lives?"

The old man had a good attitude. After hearing Yun Chaomu's words, he was stunned and said, "The Chu family? Is it the former Jingguo Mansion?"

Yun Chaomu nodded, and the old man raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Go straight along this road, turn right at the end, there is an alley, and the house at the end is it."

"Thank you, old man."

Yun Chaomu thanked him and bought some fruits to bring up.

"Miss, if you want to eat some fruit, just tell me and I'll go buy it for you."

When Si Xi saw Yun Chaomu coming back with fruits, he hurriedly took the fruit basket and said.

"Let's go."

Yun Chaomu called Sixi and walked towards the direction the old man pointed.

As I walked along the way, my mood became increasingly heavy. I could hear shouting, beatings and scolding all the time. There were no guards patrolling, which was very different from the prosperous and majestic capital city.

Suddenly, a series of sounds of beating and scolding came into my ears.

At the entrance of a dark alley, I saw several people surrounding a man and beating him with fists and kicks, swearing and hitting him non-stop.

Yun Chaomu took just a glance and then looked away, continuing to walk forward. She didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.

"Beat him, beat him hard. If I don't hear this grandson calling me grandpa today, I won't be named Huang."

When the arrogant and angry voice was heard, Si Xi trembled and stuck closer to Yun Chaomu.

Most passers-by just took a quick look and left in a hurry, as everyone was afraid of getting into trouble.

Yun Chaomu had already walked past, but the scolding sounded again, "Ha, ha, so what if you used to be a young marquis, aren't you still under my crotch now? Hahahaha..."

It was this sentence that made Yun Chaomu, who was already walking, stop suddenly. The three words "young marquis" were too sensitive and rushed straight into her mind. She suddenly turned around and walked towards the group of people.

She wanted to see who was being beaten. Did she hear it wrong?

"Miss, Miss, where are you going?"

Si Xi was startled and screamed, which also woke up the ferocious men. The leader had a fierce face, inverted triangle eyes, and a big black mole near his mouth. He looked wretched and violent.

The moment he saw Yun Chaomu, his inverted triangle eyes lit up instantly, and he looked greedy, "Hey, where did this little beauty come from?"

Yun Chaomu looked past him and at the man lying on the ground. He was wearing a coarse grey shirt and was curled up on the ground. His body was covered with mud and footprints. He had his back to her and she couldn't see his face. She could only see his thin back.

"Who is he?"

Yun Chaomu heard his own suppressed voice and tried to remain calm.

"Little beauty, who are you asking? This loser? Why? Little beauty, do you know him? That's right, after all, he was once the famous young marquis of Prince Jing's mansion, although he is now a useless person. Little beauty, what is your relationship with him?"

The man surnamed Huang said with a pout, then he stepped over the man curled up on the ground and walked towards Yun Chaomu.

The moment Yun Chaomu heard his words, he froze there, his ears buzzing. He stepped forward, pulled away the man named Huang who was blocking his way, and walked up to the person curled up on the ground.

It was a face that was beaten purple, one of the eyes was swollen, and there was even a hideous wound on the right cheek, spanning half of the face and extending to the neck. It was not difficult to see how dangerous the wound was at the time, but if you look closely, his facial features are handsome, especially those upturned peach blossom eyes...

He was once romantic, passionate and unbridled.

My brain exploded with a bang.

Yun Chaomu stared at the face in a daze. He was lying on the ground, motionless, as if he was dead, but his eyes were clearly open.

"Are you scared, little beauty? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"roll!"

The man surnamed Huang saw Yun Chaomu standing there in a daze. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frightened, but they were so beautiful that it made people feel itchy. He raised his hand with a smile and wanted to touch Yun Chaomu, but he only heard a loud shout!

"What do you mean, little beauty?"

The man surnamed Huang frowned, mainly because he had lost face in front of his brothers. He was about to grab Yun Chaomu immediately. The next moment, Yun Chaomu suddenly made a move, clamped his arm, bent it back, and directly pressed his valve acupoint, causing him to scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Let go, let go, let go!"

"Let go of the boss, you little girl, you have such courage!"

No one expected that Yun Chaomu, a seemingly weak girl, would suddenly attack. Everything happened so fast that Sixi had no time to react. When he came to his senses, Boss Huang had been clamped and his younger brothers immediately rushed up and reached out to grab Sixi.

Si Xi screamed in shock, "How dare you! You are tired of living! You even dare to tease our young lady. Believe it or not, I will arrest you all! Young lady, help!"

Si Xi didn't dare to report her identity as a member of the Yongning Marquisate, but when she saw those stinky men trying to catch her, she immediately dodged and screamed.

There was a loud snap and a pig-slaughtering scream was heard. Yun Chaomu directly broke the arm of the man named Huang.

“It hurts… it hurts! Please spare me, lady, please spare me. I’m wrong, I’m wrong! I’m really wrong! Stop it, everyone, stop it!”

The man surnamed Huang cried out in pain, his facial features twisted and sweat breaking out on his forehead. He immediately begged for mercy while angrily cursing his stupid subordinates.

“Have mercy, lady, have mercy... I was wrong, so wrong!”

He begged for mercy repeatedly, and his eyes went black due to the pain.

Yun Chaomu's eyes were red, but she endured it tightly. She shook off the man who was holding her hand and said, "If you dare to bully him again, I will kill you!"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The man surnamed Huang covered his drooping arms and shook his head like a rattle, cursing loudly in his heart.

"roll!"

The clouds are severe every morning and evening.

"Yes, yes, let's go..."

The man surnamed Huang gritted his teeth and begged for mercy, but there was hatred in his eyes. He had just been subdued by Yun Chaomu with one move, his hand was broken and his acupoints were pressed, the pain went deep into his bones, although he was unwilling, he could only leave in shame.

As soon as the man left, the alley became quiet and filled with shadows, but the man was still lying there.

Yun Chaomu slowly squatted down, "Chu Ling..."
