Chapter 242 Help her defeat her inner demons
The second prince likes gold.
This has not changed.
The carriage pulled by four horses was made of pure gold, not only the carriage body but also the horseshoe nails of the four horses were made of gold.
What a golden and wealthy thing!
Such luxury is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
However, the Li family is indeed rich enough to rival a country.
The four-horse carriage that Li Yu and Bai Zhi rode in was in no way inferior in decoration to the one that the Second Prince and Bai Wei rode in.
The Li family's carriage was hung with various jade ornaments.
They are all carved from the finest jade.
Hanging in a string, when the carriage moved, the jade pendants collided with each other, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
"Greetings, Prince, Princess." Bai Zhi brought Li Yu to pay their respects to the Second Prince and Bai Wei.
The Second Prince waved his hand and said, "Today we are all accompanying Madam to her parents' home. Don't treat me as a prince, just treat us as relatives."
Bai Wei held Bai Zhi's hand and said, "That's right. Calling me princess is so formal!"
"Yes, Sister Bai Wei." Bai Zhi was instantly happy.
Two women walked ahead, hand in hand.
The two husbands followed slowly behind.
Zhao Zhaodi walked at the back with two wet nurses, one of whom was holding the little prince.
Refreshments were already prepared in the room.
When Bai Wei and Bai Zhi saw Su Yunluo, they went over to him the first time and held his arms on the left and right.
She kept calling her Sister Yunluo.
Su Yunluo greeted them one by one, and then couldn't wait to hold the young master in his arms.
When the little guy saw Su Yunluo, he was very affectionate.
The little hands hugged her neck tightly and refused to let go.
It made a babbling sound and bit Su Yunluo's face with its toothless mouth.
Su Yunluo's face was covered with saliva, but he didn't feel disgusted. Instead, he smiled even more happily.
"I heard that Xiangxiang's sister has been found, is that right?" Bai Zhi asked.
Su Yunluo nodded: "We'll see her later when we have dinner. She's quite timid, so don't ask her too many questions, or she'll be scared."
"understood."
At lunch time, Jiang Xiangxiang appeared with her sister.
When Jiang Niannian saw a stranger, she subconsciously wanted to run away.
Bai Zhi called out to him, "Nian Nian, do you still remember me?"
Jiang Niannian stopped and turned back to stare at Bai Zhi.
Then he quickly recognized it: "It's you. I remember it."
Before being bought, everyone lived together.
"We won't hurt you, you don't have to be afraid." Bai Zhi said.
Jiang Niannian stayed hesitantly.
But during the meal, she didn't say a word the whole time.
He didn't even look up at anyone, he just lowered his head and ate his rice.
As soon as I finished eating, I couldn't wait to put down my chopsticks and leave.
Jiang Xiangxiang quickly apologized to the two couples on behalf of his sister.
"I'm sorry, my sister didn't mean to be so rude."
"We all know it. We are so heartbroken that we can't blame her."
"Go take care of your sister and don't worry about us."
Bai Wei and Bai Zhi spoke one by one.
Jiang Xiangxiang thanked him gratefully and was about to leave when the Second Prince suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Jiang Xiangxiang also looked confused.
The Second Prince continued, "I heard that your sister became so sensitive and timid because she was abused. Is that true?"
Jiang Xiangxiang sighed and nodded with a look of heartache on his face.
The second prince asked again: "Who abused you?"
Jiang thought: "What's the point of saying it?"
"Say it out, and let me hear it."
Jiang Xiangxiang said, "He is the youngest son of the Ningyang Marquis's family."
"It's him? I know! Go ahead."
After the Second Prince asked this question, he didn't say anything else.
Everyone thought that he was just asking casually.
But unexpectedly, in the afternoon, when the two families were about to go back, a sack filled with heavy objects was thrown in from outside and directly at the prince's feet.
The contents inside were still moving.
"What is it?" Bai Wei covered her chest in fear.
The prince smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's just a beast. Go call the two sisters out and tell them I want to show them something."
Bai Wei didn't know what it was, but she did it anyway.
Soon, Jiang Xiangxiang and her sister came over with Bai Wei.
Jiang Niannian has been hiding closely behind her sister.
When everyone was present, the prince picked up the fruit knife on the table and split the sack in half.
The attack was a bit too rough and the person inside was cut and a pool of blood oozed out.
Soon, the person inside struggled out of the sack by himself.
The man was tied up tightly, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth and his eyes blindfolded, so he could only make whimpering sounds of fear.
When Jiang Niannian saw this person, her body began to tremble almost uncontrollably.
That kind of fear has penetrated deep into her soul!
"He was the one who bullied you, right?" The prince pointed at the disheveled man on the ground and asked Jiang Niannian.
Jiang Niannian was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
The prince walked over to Jiang Niannian, stuffed the fruit knife in his hand into her hand, and then forcefully brought her to the man: "I'll make the decision for you, kill him!"
Jiang Niannian shook her head. She wanted to drop the knife and run away, but the prince did not give her the chance and forced her to stay.
"He hurt you so much, don't you hate him? Why don't you dare to kill him? Such a person deserves death! Kill him!"
With the prince's encouragement, Jiang Niannian slowly tightened the knife in her hand.
The cold blade pressed against the man's neck.
The man screamed in fear, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't say a word.
A fishy smell hit the man, and he was so scared that he wet his pants.
Jiang Niannian hardened her heart, and hardened her heart again, but still couldn't do it.
The prince removed the cloth from the man's mouth and eyes.
The man immediately burst into tears and begged Jiang Niannian: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please spare my life. I promise to change for the better in the future and never do bad things again..."
The guy who was so arrogant before was now crying and begging for mercy from her.
Seeing that she didn't give in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.
The man's head hit his own urine, it was so disgusting and embarrassing!
Jiang Niannian suddenly let go of the knife in her hand, turned around and ran away...
"Come here, take this bastard away and lock him up first." The prince gave an order, and two guards appeared and dragged the man away.
Bai Wei was a little worried that the prince's actions just now would irritate Jiang Niannian, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this?"
The prince held Bai Wei's hand and patted it gently: "Believe me. I am helping her to overcome her inner demons as soon as possible."
"Really?"
"Instead of letting her live in fear every day, it is better to help her face the thing she fears most. Let her know that the devil is nothing more than that! He is just a useless man who kneels on the ground like a dog and begs for her forgiveness! Then, the fear in her heart will no longer exist."
