Chapter 160 Getting Angry for No Reason
Frightened by Jiang Chengfeng's domineering aura, several officers looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, someone finally stood up and shouted, "Jiang Dazhu - you are too presumptuous. You actually dared to beat up an officer!"
Jiang Chengfeng retorted, "You want to arrest people without an arrest warrant. Are you officials or bandits?"
Fang Xinyuan had always been stubborn. Even though he was caught by Jiang Chengfeng, he still refused to give in and shouted, "Brothers, this Jiang Dazhu is so bold. He first beat up Master Zhu and now he beat up the police. This daring thief must be a member of the Red Immortal Sect. Let's catch him!"
Jiang Chengfeng's face suddenly turned gloomy. If what this girl did before was to protect Zhu Kewei, it could be understood. But now she was just making false accusations out of anger and shame, and it was an accusation without any basis!
Not only Jiang Chengfeng, but even Shen Ruoyan was angry and jumped off the carriage. "Miss Xinyuan, you have no evidence, but you are making false accusations. How can that be justified? Although my Shen family is not as good as your Fang family, we are definitely not the kind of family that can be manipulated by others! If Miss Xinyuan doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will go to the prefect and the governor to ask. Can the officials just lie?"
Shen Ruoyan didn't want to make enemies with others, but she also didn't want to see anyone embarrass Jiang Chengfeng. Jiang Chengfeng was too important to the Shen family, and they couldn't let him make any mistakes. However, Fang Xinyuan's repeated provocations had completely angered Shen Ruoyan.
Shen Ruoyan's words were very harsh. To put it bluntly, she had completely broken off relations with Fang Xinyuan.
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Shen Ruoyan playfully, but the latter glared at him unhappily, as if to say, it's all your fault!
After being scolded by Shen Ruoyan, Fang Xinyuan also realized the inappropriateness of her words and hurriedly explained: "Sister Ruoyan, I didn't mean that. Listen to me, ahem——"
After being held upside down by Jiang Chengfeng for a long time, Fang Xinyuan began to feel his blood boiling, his breathing became difficult, and speaking became labored.
Shen Ruoyan glanced at Jiang Chengfeng and sighed, "Jiang Dazhu, let her go! If she dares to make trouble again, I will go to the prefectural government office and complain!"
After thinking about it, Jiang Chengfeng felt that he should give the eldest lady some face, so he held Fang Xinyuan under his armpit.
After getting a short breath, Fang Xinyuan began to struggle wildly again, cursing: "Jiang Dazhu, you bastard ! Let me go!"
Jiang Chengfeng was too lazy to pay attention to the little wild cat. Instead, he looked at Shen Ruoyan and asked, "Miss, how do you want me to let her go?"
Shen Ruoyan was puzzled and said, "Just let her go!"
Jiang Chengfeng said "oh" and opened his arms. Fang Xinyuan, who was still struggling, screamed. When she landed, her butt hit the ground first, and she cried because of the pain.
"Jiang Dazhu—I won't let you go !"
Shen Ruoyan smiled bitterly, knowing that Jiang Dazhu was deliberately embarrassing Fang Xinyuan. She glared at Jiang Chengfeng first, then glared at Fang Xinyuan coldly, "Miss Fang, although we are all women in the Shen family, we are definitely not the kind of people who will allow others to bully us!"
I don’t know if it’s because Fang Xinyuan is afraid of Shen Ruoyan, but after hearing what Jiang Chengfeng said, she didn’t talk back. She pouted and said aggrievedly: "Sister Ruoyan, I didn’t mean that - it’s just that Jiang Dazhu is really -"
Shen Ruoyan didn't want to listen to her explanation, so she turned to look at the other officers and said sternly, "Brother officers, Miss Fang arrested someone without reason, I will forgive her, but please don't bother her anymore!"
The officers looked at each other, and finally at Fang Xinyuan, and remained silent. Today's matter was wrong to begin with, and even though the Shen family was a merchant family, they were not someone that the officers could bully at will. Miss Shen had already given them face by saying this.
Because of the fall just now, Fang Xinyuan had a hard time getting up. One hand supported her waist and the other hand covered her hips. Shen Ruoyan knew that the fall was not light, but she saw Jiang Dazhu laughing secretly. She wondered if this guy was interested in that part of a woman. Her face immediately turned red and she waved her hand, "Let's go!"
After leaving Huayang City, the group walked for more than two hours but did not encounter any villages or towns to stop for the night. They had no choice but to find a small woods on the side of the road to rest and eat something before continuing on their journey.
After riding for a long time, Jiang Chengfeng felt sore all over, so he asked Deshun and Shen Yao to sit down under a tree, eating snacks, drinking water and chatting. Shen Ruoyan also got out of the carriage and sat with her personal maid Dong'er to drink water and eat snacks.
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Shen Ruoyan and found that the latter looked unhappy, so he asked Deshun in a low voice, "Do you know what happened to the eldest lady?"
Deshun shook his head, "I don't know. It seems that after leaving Huayang City, the eldest lady's expression has always been like this. I don't know who she is angry with?"
Shen Yao, who was chewing a steamed bun, said, "Brother Jiang, I guess the young lady's anger has something to do with you!"
"Is it related to me?" Jiang Chengfeng was very puzzled. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't provoke her today. However, using the process of elimination, it seemed that this was indeed the case. He didn't expect that Shen Yao, who was usually dull-witted, could also be smart sometimes.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng stood up with a smile, walked to Shen Ruoyan and sat down, and said with concern: "Miss, the journey is urgent, you must take care of yourself, after all, you are a girl!"
Shen Ruoyan ignored him and turned to look at the maid Dong'er and said, "Dong'er, call Deshun and Shen Yao to take the food out of the carriage and heat it up again!"
After Dong'er left, Shen Ruoyan still ignored Jiang Chengfeng and just lowered her head to pretend to sleep. Jiang Chengfeng was even more certain that this girl was really angry with him. This girl's temper seemed to be getting weirder and weirder recently. Could it be that she had her period?
"Well...Miss, what's wrong with you? It's as if you have a deep hatred against me!" Jiang Chengfeng was thick-skinned and didn't feel embarrassed, so he spoke .
Shen Ruoyan finally raised her head and glanced at Jiang Chengfeng, snorting coldly: "Do you think that you can flirt with decent girls just because you have the support of the Governor?"
What do you mean by flirting with a decent girl? Am I, Jiang, such a person? I am a gentleman, okay! Besides, that little wild cat is not as pretty as Miss Shen Er!
"Miss, you must have misunderstood!" Jiang Chengfeng's face was full of bitterness, "You also saw what happened at that time! Fang Xinyuan deliberately picked a fight, and I was forced to fight back! Besides, that girl was as fierce as a little wild cat, how could I possibly flirt with her?"
Shen Ruoyan refused to give in and sneered, "Fight back? I think you are just trying to take advantage of me by taking advantage of the situation with the counterattack, right?"
No way? You can see that? Be more careful next time!
