Mrs Xu tried to get up and approached her daughter.
âYi er, oh what happened, my Yi er, who did this?â
The stocky woman supported her daughterâs helpless body. She was half-conscious and raised her hand to point at the Crown Prince who was standing quietly in his place.
âHe, he raped meâ
The girlâs words took everyone by surprise, including Luo Xiang who didnât seem to understand what was happening. Old man Xu Man tried to get up and lunged at the Crown Prince, but Bei Yau and the little soldiers immediately blocked him with straight swords in their hands.
âInsolent! Youâre being presumptuous!â
As a result, Xu Man retreated back to his place and fell with a trembling body, eyes wide at the sight of people who didnât seem to hesitate to draw their swords to kill him.
âY-you guysâ
While everyone was still in a state of confusion, old man Xuâs eldest daughter appeared in front of the door carrying many uninformed people who were probably local officials.
.....
âThatâs him, sir, heâs the one who raped my sister, that man!â Xu Li exclaimed while heading up to the Crown Prince. Immediately the men who raised their swords entered the yard and approached, their numbers were far greater than Bei Yau and his men, so they wouldnât be afraid, however, Bei Yau didnât even need to move much, just a little step forward when heâs knocking all the village guards down and all fall backwards.
âAhhâ fell hard and piled on top of each other.
......
Bai Ying finally woke up and came out of the room, although still with puffy eyes and sleepy, the commotion that could be heard clearly in the room made him unable to continue his sleep. Unlike in the palace, there was no sister Yan and sister Bi to serve him by bringing him fresh water for him to wash his face or putting on his outer clothes when he woke up, so his face and hair were completely messy right after waking up.
He met Chen Ming outside his room with Xiao Hong.
âHoaaa, big brotherâ
Chen Ming pulled his lips, he was actually still very sleepy and the sun wasnât too bright at that time, but why was everyone making such a fuss? The three then headed towards the exit.
The helpless girl crawled closer to the Crown Prince who was still standing firmly in his place. Luo Xiang himself didnât understand what had just happened, but the family in front of him didnât seem to have any good intentions.
âMaster, you must take responsibility, you canât do this to me.â
But before he could even get close to the Crown Prince, Bei Yau had already held the girlâs body and prevented her from advancing.
âMiss donât be presumptuousâ
Bai Ying and Chen Ming had just emerged from the house and widened their eyes at what had happened right in front of their eyes.
âbrukk!â
One family, Old man Xu, his wife, and their two daughters were pushed down right at his feet by Bei Yau and his men, while the Crown Prince just watched with indifferent eyes.
âYour Honour! What have you done?â Bai Ying exclaimed.
The helpless old man groans on the ground with his wife who has difficulty getting up, while his daughters are seen hugging each other with the youngest daughter whose face and hair and clothes are messy.
Luo Xiang turned his head, not expecting Bai Ying to appear there, though he was not that surprised.
âYing Ying, donât mind them, come here quickly.â
But Bai Ying lowered his body to help the young girl who fell at his feet.
âMiss Xu, what happened to you? Why is your face like this? Then your clothes, ouch who did this to you? Guard Bei what exactly happened?â he asked looking at Bei Yau who stammered and couldnât answer anything.
âEhâ he turned to the Crown Prince.
The young girl Xu Yi held Bai Yingâs leg and cried incessantly, her cheeks were red and there were claw marks everywhere, her upper clothes were torn and almost exposed her smooth upper body, the girl was crying till she stammered.
âYoung master, help me, give justice to me, he, he has raped me, please help meâ
Bai Ying widened his eyes, and the helpless girl pointed her finger at the Crown Prince, hardly believing what she heard, but, the poor girl in front of him now, how could he lie?
......
âYing Ying!â The Crown Prince chased Bai Ying towards his room, who had already entered and locked him from the inside. He tried to open it.
âYing Ying listen to my explanation, you canât really believe that girl right?â cried the Crown Prince. He could have pushed open the thin door with a single thump without effort, but Bai Ying would be furious with him.
Bai Ying looked angry and sat on the edge of his bed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI donât want to hear anything, why can Your Highness do such a lowly thing?â
Chen Ming and Xiao Hong stopped not far behind the Crown Prince standing behind a building pillar. Chen Ming pursed his lips.
âYou guys womanizer men are really hard to change, I canât believe thisâ
Xiao Hong poked Chen Mingâs arm.
âPrince, I canât believe that the Crown Prince did it, he really loves the Realm Kingâ Xiao Hong whispered.
Chen Ming turned his head and saw Xiao Hongâs innocent face.
âThen? So far, who knows how many girls the Crown Prince has slept with without Xiao Yingâs notice, love has nothing to do with this.â
Xiao Hong frowned, scratching his head, not understanding every single of Chen Mingâs words.
âHas nothing to do with? Prince mean, His Highness the Crown Prince doesnât love those girls?â he asked.
Chen Ming turned his head, almost hitting Xiao Hongâs head in exasperation, but he turned his body towards the exit.
âNever mind, Iâm tired of explaining it to you, letâs see what exactly happened.â
Xiao Hong was still stuttering on the spot when Chen Ming left himself there, he caught up quickly.
âPrince, wait for meâ
.......
Meanwhile in the front yard of the house. Bei Yau and the Xu family, as well as the local village chief and other officials, had gathered to discuss the matter, to be more precise they were holding the Crown Prince responsible for what had happened to the daughter of the Xu family. Purple Water Village Chief Sa Ye came with other officials, all of whom were old men over their fifties.
Since entering the village, Bei Yau and the others barely found any young men walking in the village other than the village guards who from their looks also looked to be well over their forties. Thatâs odd. But maybe because itâs a small village, young people tend to choose to leave the village to find work in the city, thatâs not unusual.
Bei Yau stands in front of the village head explaining what punishment should be given to people who have committed immoral acts in their village, one of which is marrying a village girl or living forever in the village without being allowed to leave. And Bei Yau was obviously furious about it, who do those people think they are?
âPresumptuous! Everything hasnât been investigated whether itâs true or not but youâve talked about punishment, you canât accuse random people just because of the girlâs rambling words, what is your evidence?â Bei Yau said.
The village chief and the other old officials looked at Bei Yau with sharp eyes, although they couldnât do much because Bei Yau was definitely not their opponent, especially after what that person did to the village guards who had no way of fighting those strong people.
âBut, everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes, if Miss Xu comes out of the room where the young master was, you saw that too right? What are they doing in the room if not having intercourse? After all, what the young master did to Miss Xu was very cruel, he abused the poor girl and made her cheeks and eyes swollen and almost paralyzed by his heavy blows, he must take responsible no matter whatâ
Bei Yau looked at the old man sharply, he clenched his fists to hold back and didnât beat him up, and it was indeed useless, he didnât want to use his strength on the weak and cunning people in front of him.
âThat is absolutely impossible, although His... Young master came out of the same room as Miss Xu but no one can prove that our young master was the culprit, there were no traces of blood stains or anything on the Young masterâs hands or clothes, this is so ridiculous, for that I warn you, you donât want to have anything to do with us, believe meâ
Bei Yauâs words surprised the village officials, not long from the direction of the gate of the house another group of people in the same clothes came running in.
âWhy donât we? Who do you think you are?â shouted someone in the very front, their voice preceding them.
A woman dressed quite differently from the women behind her with a cold face and sharp eyes looking at Bei Yau and the others. Everyone who entered was a young woman, with a large and well-built body holding weapons such as swords and spears like bodyguards, and they wearing menâs clothes.
