Chapter 503 Protection
Chapter 503 Protection
But the Princess Ruyi in front of him was too hateful, and Zhang Liang stopped them in order to save lives.
If this Princess Ruyi is truly unreasonable and domineering, then Xiao Wan will never bow down and let her be, unless the Emperor is truly unable to distinguish right from wrong.
Zhang Liang had already leaped over and blocked the guards who were chasing the mother and child, while Xiao Zhuzi also stepped forward to help, joining Zhang Liang in stopping the villains.
Xiao Nan was left behind to protect Xiao Wan and her group.
Bai Tuantuan sensed Xiao Wan's anxiety and worry, and stepped out of the carriage, still in her majestic and imposing form.
It abandoned its usual affectionate and playful demeanor in front of Xiao Wan and the Xiao family, and instead adopted a solemn expression of a king descending to survey all living beings, exuding a powerful aura that caused the onlookers to scream in terror.
"Ah! A tiger! A tiger! Help!"
The onlookers scattered in fright, but Xiao Wan and her group remained calm and composed.
Yang Zhao was also trembling with fear, but fortunately, he still had a sliver of reason left.
He looked at Xiao Wan and saw that Xiao Wan and her group were all calm and composed. The young lady Xiao even touched the white tiger. Yang Zhao was shocked.
After regaining my senses, I realized that this must be the pet kept by the Princess of Huide. Hmm? A pet?
This county princess is really bold! Since it's her pet, she shouldn't let it hurt people at will, especially since this county princess herself is a person of great merit.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhao felt relieved. Although he was still afraid, he dared to look at Bai Tuantuan.
You don't realize it until you see it, but once you do, you'll find this white tiger stunning. Its fur is so smooth and glossy, and white tigers are even rarer. Although it's a large tiger, it's so pleasing to the eye.
The key point is that it seems to be human-like and knows how to protect its owner.
As a man, Yang Zhao naturally admired such brave birds and beasts. Although he was timid, he was extremely fond of Bai Tuantuan.
Bai Tuantuan seemed to sense Yang Zhao's intense gaze, turned her head and glanced at him indifferently. This glance was not threatening or intimidating; it seemed she was just turning her head to see which human was looking at her so passionately.
Yang Zhao felt a tremor in his heart when he saw it, but he quickly grew to like it even more.
Bai Tuantuan only glanced at him before ignoring him. It had heard that its master seemed to be in some trouble, so it couldn't sit still and decided to come out to cheer him on and protect him.
On Zhang Liang's side, Princess Ruyi was furious when she saw that Zhang Liang, a commoner, dared to stop her. She raised her whip and ordered her men to seize Zhang Liang and Xiao Zhuzi.
He turned to look at where Xiao Wan and her group were standing, narrowed his eyes, and a hint of contempt and disdain flashed in them.
She walked towards Xiao Wan, intending to speak, but her eyes were drawn to the white tiger on Xiao Wan's bicycle.
What a majestic white tiger! Its fur is so glossy and smooth.
Li Ruyi's eyes lit up with interest; she was determined to have this white tiger.
She sat on her horse, looking down at Xiao Wan, whip in hand, and pointed at Xiao Wan: "Who are you? How dare you order your men to obstruct this princess's business?"
Despite standing on the ground, Xiao Wan remained calm and composed, replying indifferently, "I am Xiao Wan, the Lady of Huide County in Jiyun City. May I ask who you are and why you are chasing after innocent civilians? My men were simply acting out of a sense of justice."
Princess Huide? Haha?
Li Ruyi sneered inwardly. She knew this Princess Huide, and this was the woman she was waiting for—the vile woman who dared to ruin her plans.
If it weren't for her, how could my source of income have been cut off? That hateful wretch dares to go against me!
She's just a peasant girl who was granted the title of county princess by her uncle, yet she thinks she's something special. She dares to spout nonsense in front of me, a member of the royal family, saying she's standing up for what's right!
Hehe, she needs to show her what happens when you go against her.
"How dare you, a mere county princess, obstruct this princess? Guards, slap this princess!" Li Ruyi shouted coldly, waving her hand to order the guards to step forward.
Zhang Liang was torn between the two sides, but he gritted his teeth and decided to protect the county princess first, while sending Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Nan to protect the mother and child.
"You wicked person, how dare you hit my sister! I, I'll fight you to the death!" Xiaoyuer was furious when he heard that this damned princess had actually ordered someone to slap his sister's mouth.
She jumped down from Granny He's arms, rushed to Xiao Wan and stretched out her hand to protect her. Although she was only up to Xiao Wan's waist, she was very imposing.
Tian Shuang and the others also stepped forward to protect Xiao Wan. Xiao Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she saw everyone's protection.
She stroked her younger sister's head, deeply moved, but she was not afraid of this princess, nor would she allow this so-called princess to harm them.
