Riding the Pheonix Chapter 197: Wen Ru

After bidding farewell to Yang Shu, Mingwei went to Changlechi alone. ()

In just a few days, Changlechi has returned to its former prosperity, with people coming and going.

Mingwei looked at the long street under the sun and sighed.

Are those lost people not far away but unable to return to the sunshine so close at hand?

As she walked, she noticed a person.

This is a woman, wearing green clothes and a power fence on her head. She is holding a portrait and asking passers-by for news.

The black gauze on the fence obscured her appearance, but it was of no use to Mingwei.

She would still take the trouble to remember their anger among her classmates.

This is Wen Ru, Miss Wen Si.

This is really strange. Didn’t the Wen family say that Miss Wen Si was lost?

She asked all the way, and Mingwei followed all the way.

Wen Rucai kept asking until he reached the end of Changle Street and put away the portrait in his hand in frustration, sitting beside the flower garden feeling sad.

It was getting dark, but she remained motionless.

Night gradually falls, and the Changle Pond shows a lively atmosphere different from that of the day.

Countless stalls are set up from the street to the end of the street, selling all kinds of delicious snacks to tourists.

Compared to the daytime, there are not many pedestrians but more pedestrians.

This is an open society with no curfew. At this time, the officials were out of office, the students were out of school, and the people were out of work, and they happened to go to the streets to find something to eat.

Mingwei was a little hungry, so she bought a meat pie from a roadside stall. Seeing that she was pretty, the stall owner cut an extra portion of meat, which made my mother glare at her several times.

After she was bored and ate through several nearby stalls, Wenru finally moved.

She stood up and walked slowly with the flow of people. After passing Changle Street, I chose a remote path and turned in.

Ming frowned slightly.

Because she found that a few second-rate men followed Wen Ru into the alley.

Wen Ru probably discovered it and walked faster and faster.

Seeing that she was far away from the street, the second-rate man following her no longer covered up the sound of his footsteps and quickly chased after her.

"Sister, are you afraid of walking alone at night? Brother, will you walk with me?"

Wen Ru shouted "Ah" and ran away.

How could she, a little girl, outrun these men? After a few moments, he was forced into a dead end, and he watched them getting closer and closer.

"What do you want to do?" Wen Rushu shouted loudly, "How dare you do anything wrong under the emperor's feet?"

The **** on the left smiled and said: "What are you talking about, girl? We are acting bravely, and seeing that you are alone, we are afraid that something will happen to you, so we are just accompanying you."

"Yes, yes! Why don't girls recognize good people's hearts?"

"For the sake of our kindness, the girl took off the power fence and asked me to take a look?"

Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, Wen Ru had already hit the wall behind him and had no way to retreat.

She learned some rudimentary fists and kicks, and mustered up the courage to break through the encirclement, but was easily forced back by them.

These men are not the weak young ladies she usually bullies.

"Go away! Go away!"

What can her shouting change? The one at the front lifted her barrier and saw her face clearly in the moonlight.

"Wow, the girl is so beautiful. We are so blessed today!"

Seeing these people coming forward and pressing her against the wall, Wen Ru had no chance to take any chances anymore and cried: "I am the young lady of the Wen family of Marquis Cheng'en, and the prince is my cousin. How dare you touch me? You will be cut into pieces with thousands of swords and divided into pieces by five horses!"

These **** didn’t believe it, and burst into laughter: “You think we have never seen the world? Miss Houfu, how many servants are there around you? How can you dress like this and go out shopping alone?”

"The prince's cousin? Let's try what it's like to be the prince's brother-in-law tonight!"

Wen Ru cried anxiously.

She was already prepared, but only after experiencing the feeling of being alone and helpless did she realize how terrifying it was.

"Go away, go away!"

Wen Ru felt desperate when she felt several pairs of disgusting hands touching her body.

She began to regret why she was so impulsive.

When the man's scream came, she was still immersed in her own emotions. Only when her wrist was freed from her control did she realize that she was free.

"Hey, are you okay?" The woman's voice seemed familiar.

Wen Ru raised his head blankly and saw an exquisite face.

Ming Wei frowned, waved his hand in front of her, and said to himself: "Are you scared? What can I do? Forget it, never mind, I have done my best to save people."

She turned around and was about to leave when Wen Ru cried out and grabbed her arm: "Ming, Mingwei!"

She is a little girl after all.

Mingwei let her cry for a while and said, "Okay, put away your tears and let's go out quickly to find the night watchman."

Wen Ru had just been saved by her, so she didn't dare to be disobedient and slowly stopped crying.

She looked at the second-rate men lying on the ground and was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses: "D-did you hurt them?"

"What if?"

Wen Ru said blankly: "Isn't your family a civil servant?"

"Can't civil servants learn boxing?" Mingwei led her out of the alley and happened to see a group of night watch officers passing by not far away, so she called out.

These officials tied the people up quickly and said: "Trouble two girls to go to the Yamen to testify."

Wen Ru shrank back, hid behind Mingwei, and whispered: "I, I can't let my family know."

Mingwei said: "Thank you, sir. My uncle is the Imperial College Secretary. His surname is Ji, and he lives in Yangjiao Lane. I will ask the housekeeper to go to the Yamen tomorrow to explain the situation. How about that?"

The official frowned.

If you are a lady from an official family, it will be difficult to ask others to show your face in the Yamen.

Mingwei said again: "I have a few acquaintances with you, Mr. Gao, please be accommodating."

Gao Huan happened to be their immediate boss. After hearing this, the official agreed and ordered two people to come out: "It is late at night. It is not safe for the two ladies to be outside. Send them back."

Ming thanked them with a smile and led Wenru back to Ji's house.

When I went out today, Mingwei said that she might come back late.

Seeing her being sent back by official officials~IndoMTL.com~The Ji family didn't ask any questions and just thanked the two official officials profusely.

As for Wen Ru, Mingwei only said that she was a classmate in the academy. It was too late today and she had to stay at home for the night.

Boss Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji were big-hearted and didn’t ask any questions.

Ji Ling was very attentive and called Mingwei to the side to ask questions.

Mingwei replied: "The reason for this is complicated. Cousin, trust me, I will handle this matter well."

Ji Ling said: "How come my cousin doesn't believe you? However, your classmates are all official ladies, so why would you rashly live in someone else's house? If there is any trouble here, you can ask your cousin for help."

Ming Wei smiled: "I know my cousin treats me well. But I don't know the reason why. I'll ask her first and then tell my cousin."

After comforting Ji Ling, she led Wen Ru into her house and asked, "What on earth is going on? Didn't the Marquis of Cheng'en say that you were lost?"

Hearing this sentence, Wen Ru burst into tears.
