Ye Siheng raised his eyebrows. These families were afraid that the matter would be exposed and others would blame them.

Even if my daughter is rescued, firstly, she has no dignity as a human being, and secondly, she has no use value, so she plans not to save her.

Sure enough, it is a cycle of cause and effect, with its own destiny.

He couldn't help but feel sad for those girls.

Several adults and family heads left quickly.

Ye Siheng pondered for a moment, and his brows finally became a little loose.

Qingfeng prepared a carriage and came back. Seeing the prince's expression, he said, "Your Majesty, are you trying to save someone?"

"It won't cost their lives." Ye Siheng said, "You can lead a team of secret guards without letting anyone know."

Qingfeng also understood Ye Siheng's intentions.

Lessons are lessons, but if a girl's family is humiliated to death by thieves and bandits, that would be too cruel.

This matter was handled quietly, and those officials and family heads would not think that Yesi Heng was easy to persuade, so as not to cause trouble to the prince if anything happened in the future.

"I understand," Qing Feng said.

Yesi Heng curled his lips and murmured: "It seems like he is really a waste."

He had to go back quickly and tell Ali.

——

Suburbs of Beijing.

Qingfeng took the token and easily led a group of secret guards out of the city.

They had already received a tip-off and learned that the bandits were hiding in the Tianliang Mountain area.

The thieves seemed to know the news of these noble ladies' journey and ambush them on the way in advance, so they abducted them.

Qingfeng Company fired two signal bombs, mobilized nearby spies, and figured out the location of the bandits.

But when he got nearby, he heard the sound of swords fighting, and there was a fire in the small village.

Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and did not immediately check what happened.

He asked the secret guards to stay where they were, while he led the two of them forward to secretly see what was going on.

At first glance, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was actually Chu Ye who led his elite soldiers to fight against the bandits.

Obviously, the elite soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp were well-trained and the third-rate bandits were no match for them, and they were defeated in the blink of an eye.

Qingfeng said: "Let's go back the way we came. We don't need to take action anymore."

After giving the order, the secret guards left with Qing Feng.

There was chaos in the small village.

Chu Ye had almost dealt with the bandits, and the armor on his body was stained with a lot of blood.

Some soldiers shouted: "General! There's a situation!"

Chu Ye heard the sound and went over and found a small thatched house with many girls in gorgeous clothes, all of them looking pale.

The person at the front was holding a bloody dagger.

He had seen this woman, her name was Xue Shengnan.

In front of her was a cold corpse of a bandit.

Xue Shengnan's face was full of horror. She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Ye blankly, tears welling up in her eyes: "I...I killed someone...I killed someone."

When Chu Ye saw that her clothes were torn and her shoulders were exposed, he couldn't care about anything else and immediately took off his cloak and put it on her.

"Miss Xue acted in self-defense, I can't blame you." Chu Ye comforted her warmly, "The cloak is a little dirty, please don't mind."

Xue Shengnan's mind went blank when he suddenly heard a gentle and soft voice. He seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Her tears were glistening, and I felt pity for him: "Chu... Mr. Chu?"

"It's me. It's okay. You don't have to be afraid anymore." Chu Ye said.

Only then did the other noble ladies come to their senses, hugging each other and crying bitterly.

Chu Ye also wanted to do an inventory and let the soldiers escort the captured bandits back to Kyoto.

Xue Shengnan still stayed there, and then a soldier came and said: "Girls, don't be afraid. I heard that you were going to Tianfo Temple to offer incense. The general said that you will be sent to Tianfo Temple now.

When others ask, just say that you went to Tianfo Temple."

Xue Shengnan asked weakly: "Have the arrangements been made at Tianfo Temple?"

"The general has sent someone," the soldier said. "Remember, as long as you keep your mouth shut, no one else will know what happened tonight."

Several noble ladies were escorted out of the small cottage, even their faces were covered.

They got on two carriages respectively. Because Xue Shengnan's clothes were torn, the soldier sent a set of clothes and said: "This is what the general intends to bring to his wife. It is new. Let the girl change into it first."

."

Xue Shengnan took it, his heart moved slightly, and said: "How can your general bring the clothes he made for Mrs. Xiao when he came to suppress the bandits?"

"The general was going back to the city, but on the way back he saw the slaves running for their lives. Knowing that there were bandits making trouble, he came over immediately with a few soldiers," the soldier said.

Xue Shengnan pursed his lips: "Thank you very much."

The carriage is on its way to Tenbutsu Temple.

The noble ladies were out of danger. Now they finally recovered and began to chatter again.

Xue Shengnan put on new clothes, and since it was difficult to move around in the carriage, they also helped him.

When I touched the embroidery on it, I was surprised and said: "This seems to be the craftsmanship of a flower girl!"

"Which flower girl?"

"It's the flower girl from Yecheng. Her embroidery skills are excellent. It's not easy to find her to make a jumper. I finally understand why Mr. Chu brought new clothes back to Beijing."

"Xiao Wanyi married so well, her parents-in-law are harmonious, her husband loves her, and now she is pregnant. She is the happiest woman in Kyoto." Another person said sourly.

None of these noble ladies wanted to climb the high branches of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but the Chu family looked down upon them at all. At the elegant gathering banquet, Mrs. Shen only exchanged a few polite words with their family members.

If their family talks about the age of their children, Mrs. Shen will immediately change the subject.

After going back and forth, their family understood what the Chu family meant, and they stopped being hot-tempered.

Xue Shengnan felt a little dazed listening to their words.

She touched the material of her clothes. Although it was not expensive or rare, it was still comfortable and soft. It must have been carefully selected by Chu Ye.

Once upon a time, she also wanted to marry such a good man who was upright and loved his wife.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Mrs. Xiao is married to a good husband."

A noble girl nudged her with her elbow and said jokingly: "Your future husband is not bad either. Although he comes from a poor family, he is currently the second best. With the support of your Xue family, he will definitely have a bright future."

Xue Shengnan raised his head and raised the corner of his mouth: "This is hard to say."

Others only regarded her as being modest and did not continue the topic.

Sure enough, as the soldier said, Chu Shuo sent someone to make arrangements in advance. They went up the mountain behind and stayed in the Buddhist monastery in the middle of the night without disturbing too many people.

Only then did Jiang Shengnan see clearly the embroidery on his clothes. They were pomegranates and bats, which meant having more children and more blessings.

She folded the cloak again and smelled it. It seemed that Chu Ye's breath still lingered on it.

There is a little more tenderness between the eyebrows.

Her mother died early and her stepmother was unkind. She hid her clumsiness for many years, pretending to be useless and obedient.

But now, she has what she wants.
