Ye Zhen was almost taken away, which shocked the whole Lu family, especially Old Madam Lu. She asked Ye Zhen to draw a portrait of the man who escaped and offered a reward for their capture.
Pei Shi hugged Ye Zhen in her arms. When she thought that her daughter was almost taken away, she felt a burst of fear.
"Mother, I'm fine, really." Ye Zhen felt a little pain from being hugged, but she comforted Pei Shi with a soft voice. She was very afraid because she had never killed anyone, but she felt very calm because she knew very well that if she had not done so, she would have been the one to die.
"You were almost taken away. How can you be fine?" Pei Shi's voice was a little choked. "That Liu Hua is really too much! She really thinks that our Lu family is easy to bully. "
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly, and she buried her face in Pei Shi's arms. She would not let Liu Hua go. It was just a quarrel, but Liu Hua wanted to harm her like this. If she didn't have a bow and arrow with her today, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even if she was not caught, her reputation would be ruined.
Old Madam Lu looked at Ye Zhen distressed and said angrily, "Yes! This matter can't be forgotten like this. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace and personally seek justice from the empress dowager. "
"Grandmother, mother, I've made you worry about me." Ye Zhen whispered guiltily.
"How can we blame you? We can only rest assured if you come back safely." Old Madam Lu said softly. "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Fortunately, he passed by, otherwise …"
Ye Zhen came out of Pei Shi's arms. "Where is Mr. Chen?"
Pei Shi touched Ye Zhen's head tenderly. "Your father and brother are thanking him. Fortunately, he is here. He is our benefactor."
"Mmm." Ye Zhen was also grateful to Huang Fuchen. He was noble and elegant. With him escorting her back, even if it was said that she was almost taken away in the future, there would be no gossip. He probably thought of this and sent her back in person.
Old Madam Lu looked at Ye Zhen gently. "Yao Yao, you have been frightened today. Go back and rest early. You can rest assured that grandmother will seek justice for you."
Pei Shi said, "Mother, I will send Yao Yao back to the house."
"Go!" Old Madam Lu nodded lightly.
Before Pei Shi and Ye Zhen could leave, they saw Lu Shi's second wife hurriedly coming over with Lu Jing. "Oh, I heard that Yao Yao was taken away outside. Who rescued her? Is Yao Yao okay?" Pei Shi and Ye Zhen's eyes lit up.
Pei shi looked at Second Madam Lu, who seemed to be anticipating something bad had happened to Yaoyao. She said coldly, "Yaoyao wasn't captured. She's fine."
"Why not? I've heard about it …" Second Madam Lu stared at Ye Zhen, trying to find a little clue from her face.
Old Madam Lu asked lightly, "What did you hear? Wasn't Yaoyao safe and sound? Fortunately, her archery skills are excellent, and she came back safe and sound. "
"That's really a blessing from the heavens." Second Madam Lu was a little disappointed. "I thought Yaoyao … Sigh, it's good that she's back. I wonder who saved her?"
"Mr. Chen," Old Madam Lu said lightly.
Second Madam Lu was stunned. "Which Mr. Chen?"
Mrs. Pei said expressionlessly, "Huangfu Chen. I believe Second Sister-in-law has heard of Mr. Chen's name."
"Is Mr. Chen in the capital?" Second Madam Lu asked in shock, wondering what kind of luck Lu Yaoyao had to be able to meet Mr. Chen.
Ye Zhen gently pulled Pei shi's sleeve. "Mother, I want to go back to the house."
Pei shi said softly, "Okay, okay, let's go back."
Looking at the back of the mother and daughter, Second Madam Lu reluctantly smiled a few times. "Mother, what will happen to Yaoyao in the future? Although she's back, it's inevitable that there will be some unpleasant words outside."
"What unpleasant words outside? What's wrong with Yaoyao?" Old Madam Lu couldn't bear to hear others speak ill of Yaoyao. As soon as she heard Second Madam Lu's words, her face sank.
Seeing the old madam's unhappy look, Second Madam Lu smiled and said, "Mother, I'm worried about Yaoyao."
"She doesn't need you to worry about her. Yaoyao is fine." Old Madam Lu said, "With Mr. Chen sending her back, what else can others say?"
When Lu Jing heard that Lu Yaoyao almost had an accident, she couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She wanted to come and see Lu Yaoyao's miserable appearance, but it seemed that everything was different from what she imagined. "Is that Mr. Chen so great?"
"Huangfu Chen is the only royal family of the previous dynasty. He has the ability to bring the dead back to life. Even the former emperor is very courteous to him. He and Yaoyao have already met at Elder Xu's place. Fortunately, I met him today, and he sent Yaoyao back safely." Old Madam Lu said.
Lu Jing was jealous. Why is Lu Yaoyao always so lucky! She curled her lips and said, "Third sister is really lucky."
Old Madam Lu glanced at the mother and daughter. "It's good that you care about Yaoyao, but don't mention this matter again."
"Yes, grandmother." Lu Jing nodded unwillingly.
On the other side, Lu Shiming was entertaining Huangfu Chen. He was really grateful to him. Just now, when he saw Quan Fu covered in blood, he was so scared that his legs went soft. He thought that something had happened to his daughter, but after asking carefully, he found out that it was just a false alarm.
"Actually, I didn't do anything wrong. Miss Lu has already scared those people away." Huangfu Chen said with a smile.
Lu Shiming coughed lightly. "Although our Yaoyao is good at archery, she still wouldn't dare to kill people …"
How could they spread the news that Yaoyao killed the robbers? Wouldn't Yaoyao become a demon? Since no one saw it, he might as well treat it as Huangfu Chen's doing. That way, he could protect Yaoyao's innocence and not let others know about Yaoyao's valiance.
Lu Shiming thought silently in his heart. He originally wanted to raise a delicate and cute girl, not a valiant daughter who could ride a horse, shoot an arrow, and kill robbers.
That was too different from the image of a little girl.
Huangfu Chen understood that Lu Shiming loved his daughter very much, and he was afraid that the slightest bad rumors about Yaoyao would spread. He smiled and acquiesced to his words. "No matter what, it's good that Miss Lu can come back safely."
Lu Xiangzhi clenched his hands and stood at the side. "Father, I'll find those three bastards and avenge my sister!"
"Yes, you have to find them, but you can't kill them." He had already killed one, so how could he deal with the Royal Princess if he didn't keep the other two alive?
Huangfu Cheng said, "It's not difficult to find them. I know the direction in which they escaped. They are all injured, so they can't have gone far."
Lu Xiangzhi immediately said, "Then, please give me some pointers, Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen, our Lu family will remember your great kindness." Lu Shiming also said gratefully.
"Third Master Lu, you're too kind." Huangfu Chen shook his head and said.
