The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

Chapter 76: The Hydrangea for Marriage

Yan Liujing nodded when she heard this. She had heard about the goddess Wuxiang being driven out of Bianjing. This was the first time such a thing had happened. Only Meng Ziyan could do such a ridiculous thing.

The four of them strolled around the city for a while, and as it was still early, they were not ready to return home.

"Little one, have you solved the problem of the Third Prince?"

Along the way, people on the street discussed very little, and Yan Chengan seemed to have thought of something.

"I don't know. The rumors have been dispelled since I left the palace."

Meng Xuanhe was not prepared to tell them about Ying Wugui's incident, so he just casually evaded them.

"You don't really plan to lock him up for life, do you?" Yan Cheng'an continued to ask.

"Are you curious?" Meng Xuanhe noticed that something was wrong with him today and asked him back with raised eyebrows.

"It wasn't like that at the time. I was just afraid that the emperor would ask about it again. You better watch out for your life."

Yan Chengan hurriedly denied it, with a panic in his voice that he himself was not aware of.

His eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon he returned to his usual carefree self and changed the subject.

"Hey, it seems like they're looking for a bride over there, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Yan Liujing was a lively person by nature. Seeing a large group of people gathered in front of him, surrounded by colorful flowers and willows, he suddenly became interested and hurriedly pulled them forward to join in the fun.

"It's started, it's started, is that the oiran? She's so beautiful." Many people on the side said in amazement.

The courtesan Su Yi was wearing a veil at the moment, and her extremely beautiful face was revealed in the hazy mist of gold and green.

A pair of emerald eyes were graceful and flowing, and her exposed snow-white wrists rested on a guqin. Her slender jade fingers gently plucked the guqin, and the flowing water-like music rippled in the city of Bianjing.

Meng Xuanhe noticed that the courtesan's eyes were restless. Although she was plucking the strings of the zither slowly, her eyes were constantly searching among the crowd.

Finally, she found the elegant blue among the crowd. The person in blue and white clothes looked at her with some sadness and sorrow in his eyes.

Meng Xuanhe seemed to understand something and squeezed forward, moving to the center of the crowd and separating himself from Yan Liujing and the others.

The people around me were chatting happily, as if there was some happy event.

"Congratulations, Governor Xiao. You are about to marry a peerless beauty." A middle-aged man said flatteringly.

Next to him was the prefect of Bian Jing, who was fat and big-eared.

Today they said they were throwing a bouquet to Su Yi to find a husband, but in fact the outcome had already been decided. The madam and Magistrate Xiao had already colluded with each other, and the bouquet would definitely end up in Magistrate Xiao's hands.

Meng Xuanhe listened to their words calmly. As a woman herself, she felt pity for the girl in plain clothes. Perhaps this was the helplessness of being a woman in ancient times.

She was forced to be sold into a brothel and was "sold" in this way.

She traveled here, if she was not the most favored princess, what would her fate be?

The clear and bright piano sounds flow gently, like the blue waves from the deep valley, flowing quietly, flowing along the long road of mountains and rivers, flowing through a glance of ten thousand years of longing.

The cool music sounded like spring water flowing down from a cliff, hitting the pebbles. The misty water vapor made Su Yi herself surrounded by the music and unable to see the destined person clearly.

"My dear gentlemen, come and take a look. Today is the day when our Qingle Tower's courtesan chooses her husband. All the guests who come today will have the opportunity to marry Miss Suyi."

When the song ended, the madam laughed.

All the men present held their breath, looking forward to the next part of throwing the embroidered ball. Whoever could catch the embroidered ball from Miss Su Yi would become her husband.

This temptation made many men blush and their hearts beat fast, and they were ready to receive the bouquet.

The madam looked in the direction of Governor Xiao and signaled with her eyes to the maid who was dressed up beside her. The maid nodded and gently threw the hydrangea.

All the men present watched with bated breath in the direction where the hydrangea flew. The hydrangea flew straight towards Governor Xiao.

The blue and white figure watched the hydrangea flying straight towards Prefect Xiao, and despair gradually filled the depths of his eyes.

Prefect Xiao smiled lewdly and was about to reach out to catch the flying hydrangea.

But half a breath later, the scene that people imagined did not appear.

A girl in a misty blue skirt leaped up and drew an elegant arc in the air. Then she suddenly raised her foot and kicked the hydrangea back.

The hydrangea was thrown back to the madam with such force that she was frightened for a moment.

After Meng Xuanhe kicked the hydrangea back in the air, it returned to the ground steadily.

Everyone was startled by the noise and looked in her direction unconsciously.

The girl is not attached to worldly vanity, is not interested in the troubles of worldly affairs, and is elegant, unworldly, clean and pure.

Prefect Xiao obviously didn't expect that someone would interfere at this critical juncture, and his face suddenly became gloomy, as if it was a sign of impending storm.

Humph, in the city of Bianjing, besides those powerful and wealthy people, there are actually people who dare to ruin my good deeds.

Prefect Xiao stared at Meng Xuanhe's figure without blinking, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

"What's going on?"

Prefect Xiao was extremely impatient, and the embroidered ball flew away. He was determined to sell this little bitch to a brothel and let her experience the feeling of living a life worse than death.

But the moment Meng Xuanhe turned around, he was stunned. Such a beautiful girl must be even better.

Prefect Xiao was daydreaming in his mind, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Xuanhe was even more lustful.

He changed his mind and decided to torture her himself.

Yan Liujing, Yan Chengan, Jiarun Jialang behind also heard the noise here. They didn't think that Meng Xuanhe would take action to intercept the hydrangea.

Meng Xuan usually keeps a low profile and would not show up in Bianjing City unless he can avoid it.

She did not disguise herself today and caused such a big commotion, which made the four of them feel confused.

"This hydrangea should have belonged to Prefect Xiao. What are you going to do if you intercept it? If you destroy the business of Qingleyuan, don't think you can get away easily. Come, tie this girl up and take her to Prefect Xiao's house, and let Prefect Xiao decide what to do with her."

The madam came to her senses and was furious. Meng Xuanhe stood with his back to her, so she couldn't see the man's face at all.

"Under the feet of the emperor, the prefect of Bianjing City is the most difficult official to be. I didn't expect that Prefect Xiao would dare to act so domineeringly." Meng Xuanhe sneered and said sarcastically.

With Prefect Xiao's status, he was not worthy of having contact with Meng Xuanhe. At this moment, no one in the crowd recognized her identity.

What Meng Xuanhe had never expected was that a small prefect could forcibly seize women in the city of Bianjing. The words of the old procuress left her completely confused.

"How dare you criticize the court officials? You are very brave."

Prefect Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. He had good relations with the powerful people in the capital. He was sure that Meng Xuanhe was not the daughter of those powerful families, so he looked at her more unscrupulously.

"Even if she is a girl from a brothel, she shouldn't be reduced to a commodity on the shelf."

Meng Xuanhe watched this farce with the mindset of a modern woman, so she couldn't just stand by and watch.

This was the first time she acted according to her heart, just to save the woman upstairs who was imprisoned by the times.

Su Yi was looking at Meng Xuanhe without blinking, as if she had never thought that a strange woman would save her.

Her eyes were filled with gratitude and worry for Meng Xuanhe. What would she do if she offended Prefect Xiao?

"A woman's eyes can be gentle in looking at pain, or they can be sharp in looking down on prosperity. A woman's hands can cook delicious food, or they can direct a ship on the move."

Meng Xuanhe's voice was not loud, but it could float into everyone's heart and stir up huge waves.

She never thought there were any natural differences between men and women.

Living in such an ancient time, she knew she couldn't change anything. But she was stubborn today and insisted on saving the woman in the brothel.

Everyone present was shocked by these shocking words, especially the women, who all cast doubtful glances at her.
