The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

At this moment, Shen Leyan really felt that she was unable to breathe...

She wasn't really angry, she just felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to talk to him.

But she also felt that what he said was really irritating!

As she thought about it, she was so angry that she laughed at herself.

Shen Leyan bit her lower lip and turned her back to him.

Emperor Yong'an carefully observed her expression from the side, and he was a little confused.

"Yan'er?"

Shen Leyan continued walking forward as if she hadn't heard anything, but not as fast as before.

Emperor Yong'an racked his brains to make Shen Leyan happy.

Suddenly he saw a pastry shop on the side of the road and wanted to ask Bao Shun, who was following behind him, to buy some butterfly cakes and purple rice cakes that Shen Leyan liked to eat.

But in order to show his sincerity, he decided to buy it himself.

He believed that Yan'er would be happy when she saw the pastries he bought specially for her!

When Shen Leyan, who was walking in front, reacted, Emperor Yong'an was no longer behind her.

What about people?

Looking at the crowded street behind her, she suddenly became a little nervous.

Shen Leyan looked around in the crowd, feeling anxious and regretful.

But she walked for a long time and didn't see Emperor Yong'an. Even her maid and Baoshun were nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that she just walked too fast...

Not seeing anyone, she had to rely on her memory to go towards the location of their carriage. She believed that if they couldn't find her, they would definitely come back.

Just as she was returning the same way, she suddenly heard a commotion, mixed with a woman's cry for help.

As she passed by the crowd, she took a look from a distance.

Through the crowd, I saw a woman being dragged by several servants in the street.

The woman had a pretty face, but it was full of fear and tears, and her clothes were torn into a mess.

Shen Leyan couldn't bear it, so she stopped and wanted to see what was going on.

Everyone around was pointing and talking, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

They were willing but unable to do so. After all, ordinary people would never dare to provoke a wealthy and prestigious family like the Li family.

At this time, a servant shouted viciously: "It is your blessing that our young master likes you, how dare you disobey!"

When Shen Leyan heard this, she was furious. How could someone kidnap a woman in broad daylight? Is there any law in the world?

She didn't want to cause trouble, but he really couldn't sit idly by and watch something like this.

"stop!"

The servants seemed not to have heard her and ignored her, continuing to drag people forward.

Shen Leyan wanted to stand in front of them and stop them, but was stopped by a kind-hearted lady.

"Girl, they are from the Li family, it's better not to mess with them!"

"The Li family?"

"Yes, the girl is from out of town, right?"

"The Li family is the richest and most powerful family here. They've done a lot of bullying. We ordinary people can't afford to offend them."

"Is there such a thing? Will the Yunzhou County Magistrate just let them do this?"

"Ah... not to mention that the county magistrate can't do anything about it, even the prefect doesn't want to offend the Li family."

"The Li family's business is spread all over the country, involving multiple industries. You can imagine how rich they are!"

"Of course, the Li family is not only rich, but also extremely powerful."

"They have the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, someone even the prefect wouldn't want to offend. How could ordinary people like us dare to provoke them?"

"What's more, the young master of the Li family they are talking about is the only child of the second branch of the Li family. He has been a pampered and doted on child."

"He's also the most notorious bully in Yunzhou City. Similar incidents like today's have happened countless times."

"There are so many victims in the backyard of the Li Mansion that it's hard to count them all."

"There are also women who are willing to go there specifically for the Li family's money, but they are only a minority."

"Because he not only enjoys beautiful women and uses them for pleasure, he also enjoys torturing them. The women he toyed with were either killed or injured."

"And if he sets his eyes on a woman, he will do whatever it takes to get her, regardless of whether she's willing or not."

"Even if he likes a married woman, he can still force her back to his house like this."

Mentioning this matter seems to have aroused public indignation.

Other onlookers also whispered about the Li family's unscrupulous behavior.

"Hey, I heard that some time ago, in order to make Madam Zhang obey him, Master Li even had his men beat Madam Zhang's husband to a cripple."

"I was there at the time, and the scene was simply astonishing..."

"In the end, in order to save her husband, Madam Zhang had no choice but to agree to marry Young Master Li."

"That bastard actually made Madam Zhang watch with her own eyes as her husband, with his leg broken, crawled back home like a dog!"

"He also forbade anyone from helping him. If anyone tried to help him, they would be beaten as well."

"This Li Lian is worse than an animal!" someone said angrily.

"Shh!"

"You're asking for your life! How dare you shout his name so loudly?"

"Be careful, he might find out and take revenge on you!" The person next to him reminded him quickly. After all, this Master Li was known for his vengeance.

No matter what trouble he got into, his father, the head of the second branch of the Li family, would settle it for him.

After all, he is the only child that Mr. Li treasures most. He is held in the palm of his hand for fear of dropping him, and held in his mouth for fear of melting him.

Even if there was something he couldn't solve, he would ask his brother, the eldest princess's husband, to come forward and settle it for him.

There is no need to ask the eldest princess to come forward in person. Just mention her name. Once ordinary people know about it, they will not dare to go against the Li family.

"How outrageous!" Shen Leyan couldn't imagine how scared and helpless these women were.

"Miss, listen to my advice and don't get involved in this matter."

"You'd better leave here quickly. I see you're well-dressed, so I think you're from a wealthy family."

"But a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If you are targeted by that Young Master Li while trying to save someone, your life will be ruined!"

"Yes, there are many young ladies here who have been bullied by that beast. You'd better not be so stubborn, young lady."

Shen Leyan gently broke free from the aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, I know you mean well, but if I don't intervene today, my conscience will be uneasy."

She couldn't just sit back and watch innocent people being bullied!

After saying that, she strode forward and stood directly in front of the group of servants.

"You are so bold that you kidnapped a woman in broad daylight. Do you have any respect for the law?" Shen Leyan shouted loudly.

The group of servants were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
