All the pedestrians were stunned by the scene. A child was the first to react, clapping and cheering. His voice brought the crowd back to their senses, and they began to applaud. “Bravo!” “Serves him right!” “Karma!”
The man who fell from the horse awkwardly got up, dusting himself off. Walking to the horse and seeing it was injured and unable to rise, he slapped his thigh in regret. But when he saw the rope that caused the incident, his anger was clear. He glared at the crowd, causing the people to stop cheering, not daring to meet his eyes, quietly leaving. Everyone showed a timid expression. Even the injured people didn’t dare to seek justice.
The fleshy-faced man shouted wildly: “Who did this? Who?” When his gaze fell on Shan Xiaoya, he was stunned by her cold and proud eyes. His momentum immediately weakened. The flesh on his face trembled, and he looked away from Shan Xiaoya, turning to others. “Who did this? Step forward! I think they’re tired of living. Step forward!”
Prince Jing sat upstairs, watching everything clearly. He was surprised by her agile movements and captivated by her spirited demeanor. This only strengthened his determination to possess her. Among his women, he was lacking such a proud and unique beauty.
Shan Xiaoya, never one to cause trouble, seeing the man punished, gave him a cold glance and turned to walk away, leaving behind a wild man shouting in the street.
Chapter 026
Huoyan Nan was sitting on the second floor of the Hundred Flowers Tower when the commotion downstairs caught his attention. He happened to see Shan Xiaoya skillfully using a rope to stop a horse. He had originally thought she would take the initiative to admit her actions, but unexpectedly, she left the scene silently, walking deep into the street. Prince Jing turned to his guard and whispered a few words.
The guard looked in the direction the prince indicated, glanced at Shan Xiaoya, nodded, and quickly disappeared in the direction she had left…
Huoyan Nan snapped back to reality and squeezed her voluptuous body firmly. “Ping’er, I’ll find you later. I have some matters to attend to now,” he said, preparing to stand up. Ping’er clung to his arm reluctantly, “General, can’t you wait until Ping’er has served you?”
