Chapter 152 Let Me Do As You Please
Gu Ziying stood up and said, "I'm going back now."
Li Shuchen: "I'll take you."
Princess Changning said lazily, "I won't see you off; I'm too full to walk."
Gu Ziying: "Okay"
The two went downstairs, and Li Shuchen went to the kitchen.
He handed Gu Ziying a package of duck meat and some cold noodles.
Gu Ziying: "I'm leaving."
Li Shuchen: "Please be careful on the road."
Gu Ziying: "Don't worry."
Li Shuchen returned to the Three Treasures Hall
Princess Changning lay on the chaise longue, gently rubbing her belly, and looked at Li Shuchen.
"Ziying has been seen off?"
Li Shuchen slumped in his chair and replied, "Yes."
Princess Changning: "Your cooking method for this duck is exquisite and your way of eating it is novel, which is why people can't forget it. The duck itself must be of good quality. Where did you buy it?"
Li Shuchen: "I'll go talk to this woman about the deal tomorrow."
Princess Changning instructed, "The ducks must not be of poor quality at the banquet."
Li Shuchen nodded: "I know."
It's getting late
Princess Changning, having finished her meal, rose and said...
"I'm leaving"
Li Shuchen: "I'll take you."
The two went to the kitchen, where Li Shuchen handed over the packaged roast duck.
"Please be careful on the road."
Princess Changning confidently declared, "Who dares to rob me?"
Li Shuchen nodded: "That's true."
Princess Changning took a couple of steps and then suddenly turned back: "Li Shuchen, you've been busy all day, get some rest."
Li Shuchen replied with a smile, "I know, you too."
After saying that, Princess Changning turned and left.
Li Shuchen went back to the Sanbao Hall to sleep.
September
Li Shuchen woke up early and got ready.
So he took the grapes and went to the alley where he had bought the duck the day before.
Li Shuchen took small steps, humming a song leisurely.
Suddenly something pounced on me
Li Shuchen took a closer look
"Big White? What are you doing out here again? Aren't you afraid someone will catch you and eat you?"
The giant white dog stopped quacking and mocking, quickly flapped its wings, turned its head, and ran two steps forward.
She even turned back to signal Li Shuchen to follow.
Li Shuchen's expression froze upon seeing this. Could something have happened to the woman and the little girl? He recalled the woman weeping with her face covered the day before, and a bad feeling washed over him. He quickly uttered two words.
"Go quickly"
And so the two people and the duck hurriedly headed towards their destination.
Before even entering the house, I heard a disgusting voice say...
"Lady Lin, you have no choice but to obey today."
Li Shuchen kicked open the door, and what he saw was a man cornering a woman against the wall.
One hand gripped the woman's hands tightly, leaving her powerless to resist.
So he shouted.
"stop"
Upon hearing this, the man lowered his hand, turned around, and walked away with a lewd expression, saying...
"Hey~, where did this girl come from? She's so pretty, it's a pity she's a bit chubby. If she were a little thinner, she'd be a good match for me."
But I'm not picky. Anyone who can barely make it into my harem, come on, girl, let me give you a kiss first."
The man pouted and opened his arms, about to hug Li Shuchen.
Li Shuchen went up and kicked him hard in the lower body.
"Screw you! Look at yourself, all freckled and oily-faced, and you shamelessly flirt with girls. How disgraceful you are!"
Li Shuchen glanced quickly across the yard and noticed that the little girl's mouth was stuffed with a rag and her face was covered in tears.
Two smiling men were standing nearby, watching the little girl cry.
However, at this moment, the two smiling men were not smiling as they helped the disgusting man.
Li Shuchen stepped forward to check on Madam Lin and the little girl. Apart from finding some redness on Madam Lin's wrist, there were no other injuries.
Only then did I feel relieved.
The disgusting man clutched his groin, exasperated.
"You two, give her a good beating! This girl dares to insult me and kick me! Does she know who I am? I'll make sure she pays the price!"
Two male servants, sleeves rolled up, were about to go up and beat up Li Shuchen.
Li Shuchen didn't give them time to react; with a flying kick and a sweeping motion, he easily took down two opponents.
Upon seeing this, the disgusting man panicked and tried to run away.
Li Shuchen immediately shouted
"Grape, close the door."
Grape had been watching from the doorway, and upon hearing this, she quickly closed the door.
Seeing that he couldn't get out, the disgusting man pointed at Li Shuchen and shouted in a fit of rage.
"My father is the magistrate of Qingxiong County! Do you even know who the magistrate of Qingxiong County is? You dare to touch his son? Let me go now, and I'll spare you and not pursue this matter any further!"
Li Shuchen frowned upon hearing this. How did the son of the magistrate of Qingxiong County end up in Fengzhu County, bullying women and children and acting like a tyrant?
Seeing that Li Shuchen hadn't reacted for a while, the disgusting man assumed she was scared and straightened up, laughing.
"Hahaha, now you're scared, aren't you? Release me right now, or I'll tell my dad and he'll throw you in jail!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen feigned fear and said...
"I'm so scared, I'm so scared of going to jail!"
Hearing this, the disgusting man became even more confident, and said as if bestowing a reward, "Scared? Call me 'Master' and let me kick you once, no, twice, and I'll spare you."
Li Shuchen thought to himself, "I called you a bastard, and you kicked me twice? I should have kicked you twice!"
Thinking this, she kicked him again in the lower body with quick, sharp, and precise movements.
"Whoops"
The disgusting man let out a loud howl and rolled on the ground.
Lin Niangzi wiped away her tears and stepped forward to say to Li Shuchen.
"Good girl, you should leave quickly; you can't defeat him."
Li Shuchen ignored him and asked in return, "When did he arrive in Fengzhu County?"
"About a month and a half ago, he already abducted several girls from our Fengzhu County. He always pressured the girls to give in first, and if they didn't, he would forcibly abduct them like today."
Li Shuchen frowned and asked, "Has no one reported this to the authorities?"
Lin Niangzi covered her face and wept.
"What good would reporting him to the authorities do? He's the magistrate's son!"
"So what if he's the magistrate's son? Such a heinous act deserves punishment. Our magistrate is a good official who distinguishes right from wrong. I'll explain this matter to him in detail, and I believe he will surely rid the people of this scourge."
After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Fearing that Li Shuchen would cause trouble, Madam Lin quickly said, "He is the son of the magistrate of Qingxiong County. How can our magistrate of Fengzhu County possibly interfere? Miss, you'd better not go."
Li Shuchen paused after hearing this. Upon reflection, this matter was indeed a family affair of the Qingxiong County magistrate, and it was difficult for the Fengzhu County magistrate to adjudicate.
However, Qingxiong County is two counties away from Fengzhu County. This disgusting man has gone so far; even his own father probably doesn't know what he's been doing.
Li Shuchen gave a soft snort.
"It's alright. Doesn't the magistrate have the prefectural governor above him? Asking him will surely resolve this matter."
The disgusting man laughed wildly upon hearing this: "Hahaha, the Prefect? Even my father rarely gets to see him, let alone a mere woman like you. Aren't you afraid of spouting nonsense and hurting your delicate tongue? If you do, I'll feel quite sorry for you~"
Li Shuchen took a deep breath, his face grim, and walked straight toward the disgusting man.
