Ridiculous Situation Of A Hero Saving the Beauty

Yun Zhe's lips twitched when she thought of the novel her Miss was reading.

At this moment, Wu Yue muttered, "Concubine Liu said that she would accompany Miss, but she's not even in sight right now. I'm afraid she's plotting something."

As soon as she thought of what Madam Liu and Lu Mingzhu had done to her young miss, Wu Yue felt a strong sense of disgust. She absolutely did not believe that anything good would happen if Madam Liu were to accompany her young miss.

Lu Xiang's eyes darkened. She might not dare to plot against her, but she was definitely looking to create trouble for her.

However, Madam Liu did not manage to become Mrs. Lu as she wished in this life. As such, many things that should have happened, as in her previous life, did not happen. Lu Xiang could not predict how Madam Liu would deal with her during this period of time.

However, after knowing the nature of the mother and daughter, she was no longer the same ignorant and stupid Lu Xiang from her previous life. She would no longer be tricked by their schemes again.

Lu Xiang's smile was extremely faint. If one did not look carefully, it was almost impossible to tell that her smile was filled with deep sarcasm.

After an unknown period of time, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Lu Xiang was about to lift the curtain to see where they were when the carriage stopped out of the blue.

"Are we there?" Yun Zhe asked as she looked at Lu Xiang blankly.

"That's not right. If we're here, the coachman will tell us before he stops the carriage." Lu Xiang shook her head. The Silk Cloth Manor was the largest cloth manor in Yangning City. The entrance to the manor was usually very busy. Moreover, if they had reached the manor, the coachman would have said something.

As soon as Lu Xiang finished speaking, a sleazy male voice sounded out from outside the carriage.

"Aiyo, Big Brother, the coachman was scared away by us. There are beautiful girls inside. We're rich."

When Yun Zhe and Wu Yue heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

"Miss, outside… outside…" This was the first time the two of them had encountered a hooligan. They were so frightened that they could not speak properly.

Lu Xiang was also shocked. Panic flashed across her face, but she quickly calmed down. There was no fear on her young face. Instead, her gaze was sharp and cold.

The coachman deliberately drove the carriage to a place which few people would frequent.

Madam Liu was really good. She had managed to bribe the servants of the Lu Manor in such a short time.

Lu Xiang lifted the curtain and saw three hooligans. One of them had a foxtail grass in his mouth and his eyes were sizing her up as if he was looking at a piece of goods.

However, looking at the three people in front of him, a smile suddenly appeared on Lu Xiang's gloomy face, revealing deep sarcasm.

Familiar memories flooded her mind. The ambush in the back alley, the hero saving the damsel in distress, her heart secretly promising that she would marry no one but him—

All of this was Xiao Muheng's plan.

Lu Xiang's smile was like a shining pearl in the eyes of the three men. It was indescribably beautiful, and they were momentarily mesmerized by her.

Damn, this was the first time they had seen such a beautiful girl. No wonder that young master wanted to use this move to win her heart.

Lu Xiang finally understood why Madam Xu had put in so much effort to get her out of the manor. Her previous life's experience has told her that Xiao Muheng and Madam Liu were birds of a feather and had been conspiring against her for a long time.

Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or in this life, even if the time and place were different, Madam Liu would always think of a way to coax her out of the Lu Manor.

For example, she had used her father's name to get her out of the manor today.

At this moment, Lu Xiang had the urge to laugh at her own stupidity in her previous life.

"Big… Big Brother, this girl is so beautiful…" One of them was so stunned that he was tongue-tied. His greedy eyes were glued to Lu Xiang's body.

Lu Xiang looked at them quietly. Since Xiao Muheng had designs on her, he would not allow the three of them to do anything to her.

In her previous life, she had thought that this ridiculous scene was real and gave her heart to him. Little did she know that she was just a chess piece in Xiao Muheng's hands. She had died in such a cruel manner.

Rage burned in Lu Xiang's chest. Her eyes were as cold as ice, so cold that it made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

The big brother looked at Lu Xiang, who was as cold as ice, and his heart trembled violently. His legs turned weak. He swallowed his saliva and tried to suppress the panic in his heart. He looked at Lu Xiang fiercely. "Yes, she's very beautiful. I wonder how much she could sell…"

Before he could finish, Lu Xiang interrupted him sternly. "Cut the crap. Here's 100 taels. Help me rob a carriage in the back alley of Silk Cloth Manor. Anyway, you're all just putting on an act for others to see."

"Ah?" The eldest brother was stunned. He looked at Lu Xiang in shock and quickly shouted, "What acting? What nonsense are you talking about?"

He had an imposing demeanor, but no one knew that he was feeling guilty all these while.

This girl wasn't playing by the rules.

They were indeed entrusted by someone to put on an act and would not dare to do anything for real to this girl, but how on earth did she know about it?

Crash! Crash!

Lu Xiang swung the banknotes in her hand but her heart was secretly bleeding. It was not easy for her to save up, and now she was letting someone else take it away.

However, she would be happy to pay even 1,000 taels of silver to be able to trick Madam Liu and Xiao Muheng.

Staring at the three of them with eyes as sharp as daggers, Lu Xiang said again, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it. Anyway, it's all an act. You can earn another 100 taels. This business is not a loss for you. If you refuse, I'll immediately put out an arrest warrant in the entire city for the three of you when this is over. You have to consider carefully if the crime of robbing the daughter of the magistrate would still enable you to live long enough to spend the money earned—" Even if death is not an outcome, the punishment would make you suffer a fate worse than death.

The expressions of the three people in front of her changed.

One of the more timid ones even shivered and whispered to his big brother.

"Brother, is what she said true?"

"Who the hell knows."

"It should be true. Who would dare to pretend to be the daughter of the magistrate in broad daylight? Brother, think twice."

"That's right, that's right. If the magistrate comes after us, we won't be able to enjoy life even if we have the money."

"F*ck, we've been tricked. When that person asked us to do something, he didn't tell us about this woman's identity."

Their voices were very soft, but Lu Xiang knew from their changing expressions that they were afraid for their lives.

They were just small-time hooligans on the street. Suddenly, someone asked them to pretend to hijack a carriage.

If they could earn money just by acting, why not?

But the other party did not say that this girl was the daughter of the magistrate—

Big Brother gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Xiang hesitantly. "If I listen to you, won't the people in the other carriage send us to the magistrate's office too?"

"Since I am telling you to do this, I am sure that they won't dare to report it to the magistrate's office." Madam Liu was the mastermind behind this. Would she dare to report it? "Besides, do you have a choice? Once I call out for help, you won't have a chance."

Lu Xiang said indifferently while her slightly narrowed eyes seemed to flicker endlessly.

The three people standing in front of the carriage were so anxious that they could not make up their minds.

When Yun Zhe and Wu Yue heard their Miss' words, their frightened and uneasy hearts gradually calmed down.

Their Young Miss was so calm and collected. As their Yong Miss' maidservants, how could they be timid?

However, the two of them were also puzzled. How did Miss know that the other party was just acting?
