This scene was also witnessed by Chai An, who was standing at the entrance of Panlou, pretending to be welcoming guests.
A smug smile appeared on his lips before he turned and entered Panlou!
He was certain that the Li family was about to suffer a terrible fate! Once this nasty plaster was applied, even peeling it off would result in a layer of skin and flesh falling off!
……
Shouhua, along with Chunlai and two female Silver Shadow Guards, walked around East Market Street but couldn't find her fourth and fifth sisters, so she frowned.
Where did these two little girls go? Why are they so playful?
"My lady!" At this moment, Chunlai's eyes lit up, and she pointed to an arched bridge in the distance, saying, "Let's go up to the bridge and take a look! It's higher up there, and we can see farther. Maybe we can find the two young ladies!"
"Okay!" Shouhua was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. That was a good idea! Besides, she was indeed a little tired from walking just a few steps! She could rest on the bridge!
However, just as the four of them reached the top of the bridge, two men dressed as thugs suddenly ran out and blocked their way.
Before Shouhua could react, Chunlai immediately shielded her in front of him.
At the same time, looking at the two young men, he said, "Under the Emperor's nose! In this peaceful and prosperous world! What kind of madman dares to harass an innocent woman?!"
The two guards responsible for protecting Shouhua are Silver Shadow Guards. They will only take action after receiving a clear order from their master or sensing that their master is indeed threatened!
The two thugs were merely blocking Shouhua's path, about four or five steps away, so they weren't considered a threat.
Shouhua was also somewhat bewildered, as this was the first time in her life she had encountered something like this.
Could there be some misunderstanding? She thought to herself and decided to ask.
However, before he could speak, he heard the voice of a spoiled brat suddenly appear behind him.
"The Emperor? What a coincidence!" The voice was extremely arrogant, and as soon as it appeared, Shouhua and Chunlai turned their heads to look at the newcomer's face.
He was dressed in brown clothes and had a fair complexion; judging from his attire alone, he certainly looked like a wealthy young master.
However, his speech was full of frivolousness, and there was a hint of gloomy malice in his eyes!
Shouhua was already worried after just one meeting, since he and the other party were complete strangers and he knew that the other party was definitely trying to cause trouble!
"The emperor sitting in the Golden Palace is, by all accounts, my brother-in-law!" The other person's eyes widened even more when he saw Shouhua turn her face, staring intently at her as he spoke, "Who do you think I am, some kind of madman?"
Shouhua was startled upon hearing this! Although he didn't know if the other party's words were true, the fact that they dared to speak like this in broad daylight meant there must be some truth to it!
If he really is a member of the royal family, it would be best not to clash with him, since that might cause trouble for the Marquis.
Shouhua thought to himself, and whispered to Chunlai, "Ignore them! Let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled Chunlai and prepared to turn and leave.
However, the two spoiled brats' henchmen spread their arms and blocked the way.
"Don't worry, my lady!" The playboy grinned and approached Shouhua, saying, "Women are not my thing! No matter how beautiful a woman is, she's just a wooden stake in my eyes!"
Upon hearing this, Shouhua frowned and thought to himself, "If that's the case, why are you blocking my way?"
However, before she could ask, the other party continued, saying, "It's just a bet! You must marry a woman from the Li family within ten days! Otherwise, you'll lose a whole estate!"
"My lady, let me take a good look at you, and I will not only spare you the trouble, but also reward you with ten taels of gold!"
Without waiting for Shouhua's reaction, he waved his hand, and his two attendants stepped forward from the left and right to try and remove Chunlai...
He himself took two steps forward and reached out to lift Shouhua's light silk hat.
"My lady! My lady!" Chunlai immediately became anxious upon seeing this, after all, Shouhua was the Marquis's beloved concubine! What would happen if she were to be harassed in public?
Shouhua was extremely nervous at this moment, after all, she would not allow any other man to make any advances toward her!
What should I do? Should I order the Silver Guards to protect me?
But if this spoiled brat is telling the truth, wouldn't I be in danger of offending a noble person in the palace?
This has caused the Marquis a lot of trouble!
Shouhua was caught in a dilemma: could he not both preserve his innocence and avoid causing trouble for the Marquis?
However, just as Shouhua was filled with fear and uncertainty, she suddenly saw that the other person's hand, which was originally going to lift her light silk hat, was frozen in mid-air and could not move forward even an inch.
The reason was certainly not that this spoiled brat suddenly had a change of heart and stopped flirting with him.
Shouhua clearly saw a large hand reach out from behind her, passing over her shoulder and firmly clamping down on the other person's outstretched wrist.
Moreover, this large hand was very powerful, because Shouhua could clearly see the pain on the playboy's face!
However, this also means that there is a man standing behind him right now!
Thinking of this, Shouhua subconsciously turned around and took a step back, and as expected, she was almost touching the man behind her!
As he turned around, the thin strands of his straw hat even brushed against the other person's cheek.
Good heavens! What terrible luck I've had today!
The person behind him who tried to help also said, if you want to help a respectable woman, you don't need to get so close.
Could it be that I've just escaped one wolf's mouth only to fall into another?
However, her doubts didn't last long, because Shouhua, in her haste to retreat, forgot to move her feet and suddenly lost her balance, falling backward.
When she lost her balance, her mind naturally went blank.
In a panic, Shouhua even closed her eyes, bracing herself for the moment her body would make heavy contact with the cold stone slab...
However, the next second she sensed something was amiss!
A strong arm suddenly passed through her side, wrapped around her waist, and firmly fixed her body there.
Before Shouhua could scream, the other person pulled her up again with great force, lifting her already unbalanced body back up.
However, the force was quite strong, causing Shouhua to crash into the other person's arms.
The latter actually released the playboy's wrist and held Shouhua tightly in his arms with both hands!
Still in shock, Shouhua immediately raised her hand and pushed the other person away, desperately trying to break free from his embrace.
After all, apart from Wei Tingyu, she had never had such close contact with any other man!
Both emotionally and rationally, Shouhua cannot accept this!
In her opinion, let alone falling heavily to the ground, even if she had to choose between death and her current situation, she would rather choose death!
"Shouhua!" However, instead of letting go of Shouhua, the other person hugged her even tighter.
However, the gentle call from his mouth in her ear caused Shouhua's entire delicate body to tremble violently.
Because she recognized the voice immediately—wasn't it her own lord?
Shouhua was stunned for a moment, and then her body responded!
That's right, the feeling of that embrace and the scent on the other person... there's no mistake! It's the Marquis!
However, Shouhua was still uneasy until she saw it with her own eyes! She raised her jade arm and lifted the veil in front of her hat. After confirming the face in front of her, she finally couldn't help but shed a tear.
"Alright, alright! It's alright now!" Seeing the beauty in his arms with tears streaming down her face, Wei Tingyu felt even more heartbroken! He gently patted her back to comfort her while looking at the playboy in front of him with an almost cold gaze.
This spoiled young man was somewhat surprised to see Wei Tingyu appear, and his wrist was still aching slightly.
However, aside from accepting his bad luck at that moment, he had no other fear or apprehension.
After all, given his sister Yang Meiren's status, he believed that even the Marquis of Jining wouldn't dare to do anything to him!

Chapter 129 Embracing a Beauty and Beating Up a纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled brat)! This Marquis is a professional!
Although this playboy thought so, he still froze on the spot after seeing Wei Tingyu's gaze!
Because he seemed to read a meaning in the other person's eyes that terrified him!
That gaze made him tremble as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if he were falling at high speed into a bottomless abyss with no end in sight!
Of course, Wei Tingyu glared at the playboy before looking away.
Comforting his beloved wife in his arms was the most urgent task at hand, and he didn't want Shouhua to suffer any psychological trauma because of this.
"Why don't you order the Silver Shadow Guards to take action?" Wei Tingyu felt the trembling of the beauty in his arms subside slightly before patting Shouhua's pink back and whispering in her ear.
"I don't know anything about the other party..." Shouhua sniffed, looked up at Wei Tingyu's face with a worried expression, and then said, "I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the Marquis..."
"Don't do that again!" Wei Tingyu frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it wasn't enough to just provide the women around him with guards; he needed to make them understand that they must dare to fight back in critical moments!
"What if the other party..." Shouhua paused for a moment after hearing Wei Tingyu's words, and then asked.
"No matter who they are or what their status is!" Wei Tingyu interrupted Shouhua without hesitation, looking at her with a firm expression and saying, "In my heart, you are the most precious!"
"Only by protecting yourselves can you truly live up to my expectations!"
"Whether it's troublesome or not, that's not something you need to worry about!"
"Even if the sky falls, your husband will hold it up for you!"
"do you understand?"
When he said the last four words, he gently cupped Shouhua's little face in his hands and looked directly into her eyes.
"Yes!" Shouhua was naturally greatly shocked upon hearing Wei Tingyu's words.
After all, in this era, the saying "a wife is like a piece of clothing" was the law believed by most aristocratic families!
