Chapter 550

The other party actually dared to refuse.

That was naturally a very great humiliation.

Hearing Prince Zhongshun, and that he was the Emperor's own brother,

Cheng Shaoshang was startled.

This was an existence her family absolutely could not afford to provoke.

However, she couldn't possibly be willing to serve some Prince in bed.

So she used her old trick again, having to bring up Jia Hui: "I am the betrothed concubine of the Marquis of Wushuang, Jia Hui!"

Sure enough,

hearing the Marquis of Wushuang, Jia Hui, Chief Clerk Pan was immediately startled!

Then he sized her up.

Skeptically, he said: "If you are the Marquis of Wushuang's concubine, why are you in such a disheveled state?"

Cheng Shaoshang was very smart; she wouldn't say she had run away from home, as that might make the other party even more fearless. Now there was no one on the street, and if she were taken away, it would truly be without anyone knowing, and she would have nowhere to turn for help!

So she said: "I asked my maids to go ahead and buy things, and I'm waiting for them here."

Chief Clerk Pan was skeptical.

He had to hurriedly hold an oil-paper umbrella and run back to the sedan chair in the middle of the road: "Prince, this little girl says she is the Marquis of Wushuang's concubine."

【395】 Prince Zhongshun: Take this Cheng family little lady to serve me in bed tonight!

"Marquis of Wushuang? Concubine?"

Prince Zhongshun, who looked oily and fat and resembled the Retired Emperor by three or four parts, frowned.

Regarding Jia Hui, he was a well-informed Prince.

And he was Li Shimin's own brother, so he was naturally very familiar with him.

Or rather, he had heard of Jia Hui quite often.

As for Jia Hui, he hadn't had much contact with him.

He hadn't even met him!

He hadn't attended court these past few days and had only learned through his eyes and ears.

Of course,

now that there were newspapers, it was even easier to understand.

This made him feel a bit wary.

Chief Clerk Pan added: "This should be true; this Marquis of Wushuang takes many concubines—the Sheng family, the Gao family, the Luo family, the Cheng family—it's all written in the newspapers."

"Then whose family is this woman from?"

"She shouldn't be from the Sheng or Gao families."

Chief Clerk Pan thought for a moment and said.

Prince Zhongshun laughed: "As long as she's not from the Sheng or Gao families, it's fine. As for the so-called Luo family, they're just a fallen household, and the Cheng family? What kind of lowly, worthless thing is that."

The Gao family had produced a consort.

And the Sheng family were censor officials, and that Madam Wang also had a background.

So Prince Zhongshun would avoid provoking them if he could.

As for the Luo family, there were no such concerns.

Having lost their official titles, there was no hope of reinstatement now.

Who cared?

And the Cheng family, don't make me laugh.

A mere captain.

An ant, nothing more.

Therefore, Prince Zhongshun said: "Take her away."

Then he lowered the curtain.

And intended to continue the sedan chair.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Chief Clerk Pan immediately shouted to his two subordinates who were blocking Cheng Shaoshang!

"Arrest her and take her away."

"Yes, Chief Clerk!"

The two guards immediately intended to forcibly take Cheng Shaoshang away.

Cheng Shaoshang was instantly desperate.

If she were taken away, she would be toyed with, and the outcome could be imagined.

How she regretted it, wanting to return to half a day ago!

But there was no regret medicine in this world!

"Stop."

Fortunately!

At the critical moment, just as the two were about to grab her hands,

a team of City Guard men appeared.

The leader was Hao Meng, who was riding a horse!

Because Jia Hui had dispatched thousands of soldiers to search everywhere.

In the entire capital,

apart from those in the Imperial Palace,

only Jia Hui could do this.

A large number of troops were searching everywhere, and she wasn't hiding at home.

But on the street.

So it was still very easy to find.

"Save me!!"

Seeing the appearance of Hao Meng and the others, although Cheng Shaoshang didn't recognize them,

she saw hope.

And the other party seemed to be from the City Guard.

And she knew this was Jia Hui's subordinate.

So she immediately shouted excitedly and anxiously, "I am your Commander's concubine, Cheng Shaoshang, save me quickly!"

Hao Meng confirmed it was Cheng Shaoshang and immediately brought over twenty soldiers.

They surrounded the two guards.

Including Prince Zhongshun's sedan chair and the dozen or so horses.

They were all surrounded!

"I am Hao Meng; I greet Concubine Cheng!"

Getting off his horse, Hao Meng stood in front of Cheng Shaoshang and bowed respectfully.

This was one of his master's women, and in the future, she might even be one of his concubines, so he naturally had to be respectful.

Cheng Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, General Hao, for saving my life."

She thanked him gratefully.

At first, hearing the title "Concubine Cheng," she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

But having experienced today's events,

However, having experienced today's events.
