She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 203: A Villain Meets a Worse Villain

Acid Scholar hurriedly said: "We can pursue her, she’s with the child, she definitely won’t get far!"

Jie Chen closed his eyes slightly: "No need."

He knew Xiang Ying’s capabilities.

She could conjure a horse out of thin air; by this time, she might have already left Mei City’s vicinity.

Acid Scholar frowned and analyzed: "There are two official roads, east and south. East leads to the capital, while south heads towards Xizhou."

"With Xiang Ying’s personality, she’s likely to flee back to Xizhou! I’ll immediately send reconnaissance soldiers to spread the word. Set up strict checkpoints at the entrances to Xizhou. Xiang Ying will surely not escape!"

Bai Wuchang Li Fengcheng rushed over and grabbed Xiang Li by the clothes.

"You must know where Xiang Ying has fled to. Speak up, or I’ll beat you to death!"

He raised his whip, and Lin Lingxiang rushed over to protect Xiang Li: "Don’t you dare hit His Highness!"

Xiang Li pulled Lin Lingxiang into his arms, his face revealing a calm composure: "I do not know."

Li Fengcheng scoffed: "You won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin. It seems I’ve been too nice to you recently, you’ve become oblivious. Come, bind them! After a few whips, we’ll see if they speak or not!"

He had just finished speaking when he was kicked to the ground by Jie Chen.

"I said no need, did you not hear, are my words pointless?!" Jie Chen roared furiously, startling the surrounding soldiers.

Li Fengcheng climbed up from the ground: "Vice General, the prisoner’s escape may implicate you in punishment, letting them go so easily is too lenient!"

Jie Chen’s eyes were cold and dark, radiating a murderous aura.

"Don’t make me repeat myself."

Li Fengcheng had no choice but to shut up.

The prisoners looked at each other, feeling it was all very strange.

The elder princess actually escaped, which was normal, maybe she had been planning all along how to lower the guard of these Nanyue soldiers.

But Vice General Jie Chen, he actually didn’t plan to send troops to chase?

The Sixth Prince quickly learned of this news.

He was originally reprimanded by King Yong and the imperial envoy for concealing weapons.

But when he heard that someone from Jie Chen’s team had escaped, and it was Xiang Ying,

He laughed derisively: "Jie Chen is truly foolish, to be used by Xiang Ying!"

The Sixth Prince immediately summoned his trusted aides to convey the news to King Yong and the Imperial Envoy.

Sure enough, King Yong was extremely angry and called Jie Chen for a scolding session.

However, what the Sixth Prince did not expect was that when Jie Chen left King Yong’s room, he was unscathed.

King Yong instead followed behind him with a smile, even saying he was waiting for his good news.

After the scout reported this situation to the Sixth Prince, he was extremely surprised.

"What exactly did they discuss?"

"I do not know...."

"You don’t know then go find out! Do I have to teach you how?!"

The Sixth Prince was furious, and the scout quickly bowed and retreated.

"A bunch of useless fools!" The Sixth Prince cursed angrily.

The one most delighted by the news of Xiang Ying’s escape was Xiang Qianqian.

She gently clapped and laughed: "Good, really good, now that Xiang Ying is gone, I’d like to see how that group around Xiang Rongrong dare to act smug."

Xiang Qianqian wished to torment the females to vent her anger, while the Sixth Prince wanted to torment the prisoners from Xizhou to force Jie Chen’s hand.

The two hit it off immediately.

Not long after, Xiang Qianqian received the Sixth Prince’s permission and sent people to the camp where the prisoners were held to choose females to serve her.

The first to be taken away was Xiang Rongrong. She was only returned in the evening, crying inconsolably with an apparently slapped face, cursing Xiang Qianqian nonstop as a lowlife.

Yu Pin asked what had happened.

Xiang Rongrong said while sobbing: "That bitch Xiang Qianqian, she only wants to torment us because elder sister is gone and no one can control her now."

"She had me give her massages and wash her feet, treated me like a maid. If I resisted, the people sent by the Sixth Prince would whip me."

Yu Pin became anxious: "This is unacceptable! Let’s tell the Vice General and ask him to decide for us!"

Xiang Rongrong hurriedly said no.

"Elder sister used to be close to the Vice General, and now that she has suddenly run away, these past few days the Vice General’s expression has been frighteningly dark. We mustn’t provoke him anymore."

"Besides, the Vice General took care of us in the past also for elder sister’s sake, now he may not be willing..."

Hearing this, the others’ faces also darkened, especially the females. If Xiang Qianqian is humiliating them one by one, what life do they have left?

Indeed, as Xiang Rongrong said.

This time, Xiang Qianqian specifically called for Lin Lingxiang to serve.

Before she left, Xiang Li placed a packet of medicinal powder in Lin Lingxiang’s hands.

"Use this to protect yourself."

Lin Lingxiang placed the medicinal powder in her sleeve and nervously made her way to the Governor’s Mansion.

The entire South Garden of the Governor’s Mansion was now occupied by the Sixth Prince, and Xiang Qianqian naturally resided there as well.

Following the maid across the long bridge over the waterless lake, they arrived at the South Garden.

Today, Xiang Qianqian was adorned in gold and silver, dressed provocatively with a triumphant and flamboyant expression.

Upon seeing Lin Lingxiang arrive, she sneered coldly.

"Lin Lingxiang, I’ve said it before, if I can’t deal with Xiang Ying, do you really think I can’t handle you?"

"When you sided with Xiang Ying and denied me food, you should’ve foreseen this day coming."

"The wheel of fortune turns; it’s finally my turn to vent my anger, come here!"

With a wave of her hand, the surrounding nannies and maids came forward with sticks in hand.

A malevolent darkness shimmered in Xiang Qianqian’s eyes: "You think you can stay with my Crown Prince forever? Dream on!"

"Lin Lingxiang, there is a cruel punishment in the palace specifically for palace maids who dare to climb into the Dragon’s bed. They’re beaten with sticks until their bellies are ruined, causing them to bleed profusely and ensuring they can never conceive. Feel it well!"

"Beat her stomach until blood is drawn, and don’t stop until you see it!"

Lin Lingxiang was startled!

She struggled, shouting: "Don’t touch me!"

Before she could use the medicinal powder, the maids had already pinned her to the ground.

The old woman raised the stick and struck Lin Lingxiang in the stomach.

Lin Lingxiang instantly curled up in pain.

Xiang Qianqian, on the other hand, laughed even louder: "Quick, call for Xiang Ying to save you, where has she gone? Oh, I forgot, Xiang Ying has already run away and abandoned you all."

Lin Lingxiang clenched her teeth tightly; the more pain she showed, the more triumphant Xiang Qianqian would become.

Just as the second blow was about to land, the door was forcefully kicked open.

Xiang Qianqian’s façade shifted, as she scolded: "Who dares to kick in my door?"

A troop of servants and maids rushed in, with Lu Pan Chu confidently striding forward with a powerful aura.

Seeing her, Xiang Qianqian’s fierce and malevolent presence diminished.

"Lady Lu..."

Lu Pan Chu paid her no heed, instead signaling to the maids.

The maid immediately went to check Xiang Qianqian’s makeup box.

"Miss, take a sniff!" The maid presented a rouge box to Lu Pan Chu.

Indeed, it was the scent of orchids.

Xiang Qianqian watched their actions with confusion and quickly tried to explain: "Lady Lu, you couldn’t possibly think I’m stealing, could you? I had this before I entered the Governor’s Mansion!"

It was a gift from Supervisor Ke.

Unbeknownst to her, these words only infuriated Lu Pan Chu even more.

She furiously threw the rouge box to the ground.

"It was you, beat her!"

Xiang Ying had mentioned that the only thing that could conflict with her medicine was the orchid scent.

This despicable Xiang Qianqian had compromised her chastity and now dared to become a concubine to the Sixth Prince, stepping over her.

The more Lu Pan Chu thought about it, the angrier she became: "Beat her hard!"

The tide turned in an instant, and Xiang Qianqian, terrified, scurried around the room until she was finally pinned to the floor by the servants, with the maid’s palm striking her cheek viciously.

"Lady Lu, what have I done wrong? Lady Lu! Ah..."

Lin Lingxiang was stunned by the scene before her.

Deeming her a nuisance, Lu Pan Chu had the maids drag Lin Lingxiang up and push her out.

"Send her back to Jie Chen!"

The door slammed shut in front of Lin Lingxiang.

Screams continued to emanate from within.

Lin Lingxiang was returned to the camp, and everyone hurriedly gathered around, with Xiang Li gripping her hand tightly, fearing she had been mistreated.

However, Lin Lingxiang looked utterly bewildered.

Xiang Rongrong asked anxiously: "Did Xiang Qianqian beat you until you were dazed? What did she do to you? Speak up!"

Lin Lingxiang replied perplexed: "I don’t know... It seems that Xiang Qianqian offended the Lu Family’s lady. Before I was tortured much, Lady Lu and a group of people stormed in and beat up Xiang Qianqian."

Everyone was taken aback, and Xiang Rongrong led the applause in delight.

"Good, that’s excellent, Xiang Qianqian, that self-satisfied look of hers, turns out someone had long been displeased!"

Sure enough, after being beaten by Lu Pan Chu, Xiang Qianqian never managed to cause trouble again.

Skinny Monkey later informed them that Xiang Qianqian’s face was broken, and she had been searching everywhere for a doctor.

The womenfolk all heaved a sigh of relief.

Little did they know, Xiang Ying had inadvertently protected them once again.
