Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Following that, the husband and wife discovered that the closer they got to the capital, the more cautious the Third Prince became; fortunately, there were no more accidents.
Just as they were about to reach the capital, the Third Prince sent someone to deliver a letter to the Emperor before increasing their traveling speed.
Early one morning, the Third Prince changed into clean clothes and continued their journey to the capital.
When they passed a forest, they suddenly heard a woman scream from afar.
It was a scream, but they could discern she had a lovely voice, like a singer.
More importantly, Gu Chengrui felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, so he stopped the carriage and said, “Third Prince, do you want me to go over and see what’s going on?”
“Go ahead.” The Third Prince hesitated momentarily before waving his hand and asking two soldiers to follow.
Gu Chengrui took his first aid kit and brought two soldiers over.
When they reached the foot of a mountain, they saw a scholar standing near a woman with his back to them.
He didn’t want to go over at first, but he wanted to see who this woman was and why he felt her voice was familiar.
Therefore, he walked over.
However, he was enraged when he saw the scholar undoing the girl’s clothes with a perverted expression.
Fortunately, it was winter, and the girl wore extra clothes. Otherwise…
Thinking of this, Gu Chengrui rushed forward and kicked the scholar to the side. He roared, “Are you even a scholar? A dog has better ethics than you!”
“Who, who are you? I’m saving her!” The scholar fell to the ground and looked at the three with a flustered expression.
At the same time, he pushed himself back up with both hands.
“You’re telling me you’re saving her with what you’re doing?”
“Can’t 1 check her wounds?”
“There’s so much blood on her forehead, and you…” When Gu Chengrui said this, the scholar got up and turned to run.
Gu Chengrui immediately turned to the two soldiers and asked, “Sorry to trouble you two.”
After saying that, he immediately checked the girl’s head. Fortunately, it was only a superficial wound and did not hurt her skull. He stopped the bleeding and bandaged it quickly.
When the blood on her face was cleaned, Gu Chengrui was stunned when he saw the thin and delicate oval face.
If he remembered correctly, this girl was the eldest daughter of his aunt, with her name being Yang Wanning.
Zhou Ying, afraid of Gu Chengrui getting accused of sexual harassment, walked over and saw him staring at the girl’s face in a daze. She asked curiously, “Do you know her?”
“If I remember correctly, she’s a cousin from the Yang family.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
“What a coincidence. Let’s carry her back before treating her so the Third Prince won’t have to wait too long.”
“Alright, 1’11 check if there’s any fracture.” Gu Chengrui first took her pulse and confirmed there were no internal injuries or fractures before doing anything else.
He helped her up onto Zhou Ying’s back, and the two soldiers finally caught the scholar.
“Tell me, who ordered you to ruin this lady’s reputation?” Gu Chengrui demanded immediately.
“What do you mean? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Although the scholar panicked, he still pretended to be calm and replied.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui knew he could not quickly get anything out of him, but he could not let the Third Prince wait too long. He said to the two soldiers, “Let’s bring him back and interrogate him properly at the camp.”
After saying that, he stuffed a large pebble into the scholar’s mouth.
When the scholar saw this, he panicked and desperately shook his head. However, Gu Chengrui ignored him and chased after Zhou Ying..
