A gust of wind blew past, and the leader flew out of the door.

When Song Jinshu opened her eyes, she saw a perfect profile. At that moment, she felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

A cold yet caring voice came: "Are you okay, sir?"

Song Jinshu shook her head blankly, and Lu Ruoyu helped her straighten up. Fortunately, he arrived in time.

If she had been a step later, she would have been bullied.

At this moment, the leader woke up from the pain and was very surprised to see Lu Ruoyu.

This person's skills are better than his. He didn't expect that there is such a master in Jingyang County.

It seems that this trip will not be smooth, but with the support of the eldest princess, I believe they dare not disobey.

The people on the opposite side helped the leader up. Feeling humiliated, the leader angrily said, "I'm the eldest princess's man. Are you openly challenging her authority?"

"Don't talk about the princess, you are just a running dog. The princess's status should be respected. You, a dog, cannot represent the princess!"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. People like you who disregard the imperial authority deserve to have their entire clan exterminated! If you continue to cause trouble, I will throw you all into prison."

No matter how soft a person is, he cannot stand being bullied like this.

Now that they are bullying her at her doorstep, if she takes a step back, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing?

Song Jinshu waved his hand and said, "Someone, take them all to jail!"

The yamen runners immediately stepped forward and surrounded the people, and the leader and his group raised their weapons, and the conflict was about to break out.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, a carriage came galloping from a distance, and Zi Yu opened the window and shouted.

Both parties stopped what they were doing, and Song Jinshu looked at Zi Yu with an indifferent expression.

When Zi Yu passed by the leader, she glared at him fiercely, what a bunch of trash!

He couldn't even protect the princess, yet he came out to show off his power and acted like a big shot!

Instantly, Zi Yu was right before her eyes. She leaned forward and saluted, saying apologetically, "Master Song, how are you? My princess has woken up. When she heard that you saved her, she wanted to come and thank you in person, but she hasn't fully recovered yet, so she sent this servant to bring you a thank-you gift."

As she spoke, Zi Yu signaled the maid behind her to bring up the gift. It was an exquisite sandalwood box, and it looked like the things inside must be very valuable.

Song Jinshu was smiling but not really smiling. They slapped her in the face and then gave her a candy.

Is this treating her like a dog?

"Miss Ziyu, you are too polite. As long as the princess is fine, there is no need for a thank-you gift. After all, the princess suffered in my Jingyang County, which is also my fault. The princess did not pursue the fault, which is already a great blessing. You should take this gift back!"

The leader saw her humble attitude at the moment as a sign of fear.

Humph! He was only a seventh-rank official. No matter how much he acted, he was still not impressive enough in front of the princess.

Seeing Song Jinshu's gentle and humble attitude, Zi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the leader and the others, her eyes flashing with impatience. They were really useless people who could not do anything but made things worse.

You do stupid things and then you have to wait for her to help you clean up your mess!

"I have an unwelcome request, and I hope Master Song will not blame me."

Song Jinshu raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Miss Ziyu, please speak."

"These people are from the Princess's Mansion. Their brains are damaged by the door, and they do things without any rules. They have offended Lord Song unintentionally. Please consider them as fools and don't bother with them..."

"Besides, the princess needs someone to protect her when she returns to the capital. If we deal with them, the princess will be left unprotected and she won't be able to return home for a long time. If the princess asks about it, we won't be able to explain it to her."

I have to say that only a beautiful woman can speak nicely. She belittles those people with every word, but defends them everywhere.

If Song Jinshu really dealt with these people, he would be disregarding the safety of the princess.

She clenched her fists and sighed in her heart. In the face of absolute power, she was really powerless.

"Of course, the princess's safety is the most important. Since these people are mentally ill, for the princess's future safety, we should replace them with a new batch! Otherwise, they will cause trouble everywhere and bring shame to the Princess's Mansion."

Zi Yu's mouth twitched. Fortunately, Lord Song was sensible and did not pursue the matter further.

Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, the eldest princess will not let her go.

"Thank you, Lord Song. This gift is from the princess to you as a thank you. It's not expensive, so please accept it."

Without waiting for Song Jinshu to speak, the maid behind Ziyu pushed the thing into Wang Er's arms.

Zi Yu continued, "I will take the people back now. Sir Song, please keep the events of last night confidential."

Song Jinshu nodded and said, "Yesterday, I only arrested a group of child traffickers. I didn't see Miss Ziyu or anyone around her."

Zi Yu smiled with satisfaction, then led her men away. Before leaving, the leader turned around and glared at her fiercely.

Wang Er and other yamen runners glared back angrily. If it wasn't for the wrong time, they would have put sacks on their heads and beaten them in the middle of the night.

Noticing that everyone present was in a rather low mood, Song Jinshu curled his lips and said encouragingly, "Alright, all of you go back to work! We'll be busy later!"

Everyone looked at each other and dispersed. Only Song Jinshu, Lu Ruoyu, Wang Ercao and Dutou were left in the bustling county government gate.

Song Jinshu looked at the two worried people opposite him, sighed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. No matter what, they didn't succeed, right?"

"Keep watch over those people in the prison. Don't let them take the person away."

Cao Dutou and Wang Er responded in unison: "Yes! As ordered!"

After watching the two leave, Song Jinshu looked at the next person: "What about you? Why don't you go back to your work?"

Lu Ruoyu glanced at her lightly, his eyes full of concern. He knew that she was feeling bad.

"Be patient and wait. It won't be long before they kowtow and apologize to you."

Song Jinshu: ???

"What do you mean?"

Who kowtowed to her and apologized? Was it that group of lackeys just now?

Why is Song Jinshu so unbelievable?

And how could Lu Ruoyu be so sure that those dogs would lower their proud heads and kowtow to her and apologize?

Lu Ruoyu just smiled and said nothing. He would fight for this face for her.

Inside the inn.

Princess Leping held her chin with her hands and watched Zi Yu packing her luggage at the foot of the mountain with boredom.

She said sullenly, "Ziyu, have you seen Master Song?"

While packing Princess Leping's personal belongings, Zi Yu replied calmly, "Princess, this servant has said many times, and I saw that Lord Song was very happy!"

"Really?" Princess Leping sighed somewhat disappointedly.

Zi Yu paused, then turned and looked at her princess strangely: "Princess, you seem to have a different view of this Mr. Song?"

"I…"
