The boss of the end of the world wears a red building, if you don't agree, just hold it
Chapter 225 Xiangling
A few days later, the weather cleared up and this rare snowstorm finally ended, and people finally felt relieved that the stone that had been hanging in their hearts for days fell to the ground.
It's been so cold these days that many frail elderly people have frozen to death. Funerals are all gathered in one place, and the happiest people are those who do funeral business.
Walking down the street, Lin Chengyu held up a string of candied haws and took a bite. It was sweet and sour, and quite delicious. "Just now I said I wanted to buy two strings, and you said you didn't want to eat them, but now you're staring at me again."
Xuan Zheng asked: "Is it delicious?"
Lin Chengyu nodded, eyes shining, "It's delicious, that person didn't lie to us, the hawthorn inside is a little sour, delicious and not greasy."
If something like candied haws, which is coated with sugar on the outside, is very sweet inside, it will taste a bit greasy. It's just right now.
"Is that so?" Xuan Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. Without waiting for Lin Chengyu's reaction, he lowered his head and took a bite of the place where he had bitten. In Lin Chengyu's shocked eyes, he praised seriously, "It is indeed delicious."
Lin Chengyu really didn't expect him to do this in the street. His pupils were dizzy. "That's enough. You are a prince, but you actually snatched food from others in public. If the emperor hears about this, you will definitely be scolded."
Xuan Zheng said nonchalantly: "You can scold me if you want, but you can't stop me from eating."
Lin Chengyu was amused by his rogue look, raised the candied haws a little higher, and asked, "Do you want to eat more?"
Xuan Zheng looked at the whole hawthorns on it and shook his head.
"Then I'll eat it myself." Lin Chengyu withdrew his hand and ate slowly.
But before he had taken a few bites, a girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards him in a panic. Xuan Zheng was quick to move and hugged Lin Chengyu to the side, and the girl fell to the ground in a prostrate posture.
The candied haws was held tightly in Lin Chengyu's palm. It was not hurt at all and still looked adorable.
Lin Chengyu bit off a hawthorn and looked at the few people chasing after him from a distance. They looked ferocious and it was obvious that they were not good people.
He originally thought it was a scam, but now it seems that he was wrong.
The girl on the ground heard the voices of those people and struggled to get up from the ground. There were already many people around her. She looked panicked and at a loss. When she saw Lin Chengyu, her eyes suddenly lit up and she threw herself at Lin Chengyu's feet, "Mr. Lin, save me."
Lin Chengyu looked at the bright red spot between her eyebrows and suddenly remembered something, "Are you Xiangling?"
The girl nodded repeatedly. Seeing those people getting closer and closer, she couldn't help but tremble with fear. "I am Xiangling. Please save me, sir."
The men who were chasing Xiangling soon arrived here. Seeing Xiangling hiding behind a well-dressed young man, they said cautiously, "This person is a maid who ran away from our mansion."
The implication is, don't meddle in other people's business.
But Lin Chengyu was not at all flustered, pretending to be ignorant and asking: "Whose family are you from?"
The big man hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng looked different from ordinary people, he was unsure of their identities and did not dare to force them. He replied, "We are servants of the Xue family. We are here on the orders of our master to capture this runaway maid and bring her back."
Xiangling's pale little face was covered with tears. It was true that she ran away, but she had no choice.
Since the Xue family moved out of the Rongguo Mansion, although Xiangling was taken care of by Xue Baochai, Xue Pan was bewitched and would not easily let go of the meat at his fingertips. In the end, Xiangling fell into his hands.
Not long after, Aunt Xue found a good marriage for Xue Pan. Today's Aunt Xue is the only daughter of the imperial merchant Xia family, named Xia Jingui.
The Xia family is an imperial merchant family listed in the Ministry of Households. They are well off. The Xia family has only one daughter, Xia Jingui, who was raised to have a tough personality.
Xiangling is beautiful, but since the misfortune she encountered in her childhood, she has been frightened every day and her personality has changed a long time ago. Such a weak and vulnerable little beauty is always hanging around in front of Xia Jingui. Xue Pan's eyes are almost growing on Xiangling. How could Xia Jingui tolerate her?
Xia Jingui looked down upon the overt methods of beating and insulting. What she liked to do most was to rely on her status as the eldest grandmother to torture Xiangling over trivial matters, and she would frame her from time to time.
She didn't do anything herself, but she was able to make Xue Pan very angry. That stupid bully was a brainless man. A few words could make him so angry that he wanted to hit people without caring about anything.
Ever since Xia Jingui came into the family, Xiangling has not had a good day. She is always worried that she might do something wrong and get beaten again.
This day, when Xia Jingui went out, she did not bring her dowry maid Baochan with her, but brought Xiangling with her.
After so long, Xiangling also knew what kind of person Xia Jingui was. Although she knew that Xia Jingui had bad intentions, she was always timid and dared not disobey her at all, so she could only follow her out.
She thought Xia Jingui wanted to scold her or hit her while she was out, and she thought she could just endure it, but she didn't expect Xia Jingui to sell her out.
Xiangling didn't understand why she had to be sold. If she was unhappy with anything, they could beat her or scold her, but why did they have to sell her?
From childhood to adulthood, she had no idea how many times she had been sold. She finally settled down in the Xue family for some time. The ladies and girls were all very kind. She had thought that she would live her whole life in the Xue family, but then came Xia Jingui, who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.
Xiangling felt that her life was miserable. She wanted to run back home to ask the lady and the young lady for help, but as a girl who had not been out for a long time, how could she outrun several men? She was about to be caught up. In the moment of despair, she actually saw the godlike young master of the Lin family.
That's why this show happened now.
Xiangling begged Lin Chengyu, "Our grandmother wants to sell me. I don't ask for anything else. Please be kind and send me home."
Lin Chengyu couldn't turn a blind eye to this girl with a rough life.
As early as when those big men came over, the guards of the palace appeared from all directions. When those big men saw so many people, all of them wearing swords, they did not dare to act rashly for a while and were really in a dilemma.
"Sir, please don't make things difficult for us. Our master has given the order. If we can't bring this girl back, we will be in trouble." The big man sighed, without any trace of his ferocious and arrogant look from before.
Lin Chengyu said: "I won't embarrass you. If I'm not mistaken, your master, of course, I mean the master in charge, should know me."
He looked at Xuan Zheng and said, "We have nothing to do right now, so why not go there and catch up with old friends."
When the big men heard this, they couldn't help but look embarrassed. Before they could speak to stop them, Lin Chengyu and others had already boarded the carriage and headed towards the Xue Mansion.
They were so anxious that they hurried back to report to Xia Jingui.
