Harem Daily Life

Chapter 216 Hero saves beauty

Seeing that the young lady seemed to be deaf-mute, Tao Yanyan took Yin Jiu and Dong Fang over to ask what happened.

"I advise you to mind your own business and stay away." One of the men said disdainfully.

Without saying a word, Yin Jiu kicked the guy who was disrespectful to Concubine Tao three meters away.

He had better hold back, otherwise the man would have died on the spot.

It is forbidden to kill any living creatures in the first month of the lunar year, so he held back.

Tao Yanyan looked at Yin, a teenager in his nineties who was very ruthless in fighting, and walked away silently.

Another man saw his companion being beaten and wanted to take revenge, but as soon as he raised his arm, Yin Jiu grabbed it and twisted it, dislocating it on the spot.

Except for a few guards, everyone else took a deep breath. Li, the chief steward, stepped forward to stop them and said, "Let's send someone to take this young lady home. As for these two fools, forget it."

Tao Yanyan nodded, Yin Jiu retreated, and the two men, one covering his arm and the other covering his stomach, looked extremely embarrassed but still uttered cruel words: "Who are you? How dare you commit a crime in broad daylight? I must tell my uncle and punish you!"

"Who is your uncle?" Tao Yanyan asked.

The man who was kicked away said arrogantly: "I'll scare you to death if I tell you this, my uncle is a third-rank official of the dynasty, Mr. Shu, the Minister of Personnel."

Dong Fang leaned close to Concubine Tao and whispered in her ear: "It seems to be Concubine Shu's father."

Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes and said, "Then just tell him when you go back that I will keep my name and surname Tao Yanyan."

"Hahahahaha, a grown man has a sissy name, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Just wait, not only will I tell my uncle, I will also go to the palace to sue you for letting your slave commit crimes. My cousin is the current emperor!"

Everyone: "..."

You are either stupid or not. The person in front of you is Concubine Tao, the most beloved by the current emperor.

Tao Yanyan smiled and said: "Go ahead, go ahead and sue me. I'll be waiting. Whoever doesn't sue me is a puppy."

Everyone: "..."

When the two men saw that Tao Yanyan didn't fall for their threats, they could only make harsh remarks and walk away in shame.

Tao Yanyan then looked at the young lady beside him, only to see that she had no maid following her and could not speak. She was probably alone and was stopped by the two ruffians.

Tao Yanyan took Xiao Jinan's bag and took out a pen and paper from it. This pen was a charcoal pencil that she specially asked someone to make, and she made a few for her own use.

"What's your name? Where do you live? I'll send someone to take you back." Tao Yanyan asked.

The young lady was about the same age as Tao Yanyan. Seeing the handsome young man in front of her, she couldn't help blushing and took the paper and pen and wrote: "My surname is Gu, please take me to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."

Tao Yanyan didn't ask about her identity, and wanted to ask Dong Fang to take two people to send her there. Li Zongguan saw it and said: "The shop we are going to later happens to be near Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, why not go there directly."

When Tao Yanyan heard that, he agreed and invited her to ride in the carriage to take her there.

The young lady was a little hesitant, as she felt that it would damage her reputation if she shared a carriage with a young man. But Tao Yanyan led him into the carriage without giving her any explanation, causing the young lady's cheeks to turn red, and she hurriedly covered her face with a handkerchief.

"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" Xiao Jinan sat opposite the young lady and couldn't help but ask.

The young lady shook her head and glanced secretly at Tao Yanyan.

"Have you been unable to speak since childhood?" Xiao Jinan asked with his head tilted.

Tao Yanyan patted him: "Don't ask too much, it's impolite."

The young lady nodded, looked at Tao Yanyan again, and lowered her head sadly.

For a moment, there was some awkwardness in the carriage.

Seeing that the young lady was well-dressed, Tao Yanyan thought that she should not be a servant of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. However, since there was no maid accompanying her, she did not look like a young lady, so she asked, "Why did you go out alone without a maid?"

The young lady thought for a moment, borrowed a piece of paper and pen from Xiao Jin'an, and wrote: "I came out to buy embroidery thread, and somehow I got separated from the maid. I didn't know the way, so I ended up at the same place. Those two people said they would help me lead the way, but then they made advances on me. Fortunately, you showed up in time to save me. When we get back to the Marquis' Mansion, I will let my father, the Marquis of Ningyuan, thank you."

Tao Yanyan looked at her and found out that this was Gu Yi's half-sister.

She is quiet, pretty, and well-behaved. It's just a pity that she can't speak.

At this time, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was in chaos.

"My Lord, what should I do?" Madam Gu panicked and kicked the maid who followed Gu Ning out: "You stupid girl, I told you to follow the young lady, where did you go? If anything happens to my Ning'er, I will beat you to death!"

Gu Yi was on holiday during the New Year holidays and was staying in the Marquis' Mansion. When he heard that Gu Ning had not returned after going out, he became extremely worried.

If there was anyone else in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion that he cared about, it would only be Gu Ning. Gu Ning had been unable to speak since childhood and didn't know what to do when he was alone outside.

"What's the use of crying here? Why don't we send someone out to look around?" After saying this, Gu Yi wanted to go out to look for someone, but was stopped by Lord Gu.

"Don't make it public, and don't look for her in a big way!" Lord Gu said solemnly, "A woman's reputation is a big deal, so if you want to find her, you can only do it quietly. Come, take a few teams to the place where the young lady disappeared, and dig three feet underground to find her!"

The housekeeper took a few servants and maids out.

Ning Yuanhou sat down on the stool and said, "What kind of sin has this committed? One was lost seventeen years ago, and another one is lost seventeen years later!"

After saying this, his eyes turned red.

Gu Yi frowned. He had a little memory of what happened seventeen years ago. When he was very young, he had an aunt who treated him very well. When his stepmother didn't give him food, it was the aunt who secretly brought him food. Unfortunately, he never saw the aunt again. So, did the aunt get lost?

He looked at his two half brothers who had no idea what was going on, then looked at his stepmother who was sitting and crying, then stood up and said, "I'll go look for her too."

But as soon as she stood up, she saw the housekeeper hurried back with a happy look on his face: "She's back! She's back! The young lady is back!"

Lord Gu stood up immediately and asked, "Did you find him? Where is the person?" Then he looked behind the butler.

"My Lord, Madam, the young lady was brought back by a young man. She is still outside the door. And... they were riding in the same carriage."

"What?" Madam Gu said anxiously, "Quick, quick, go and have a look! Oh, my Ning'er, how can she ride in the same carriage with a young man? How can we discuss marriage if this gets out?"

"Why are you so anxious, mother?" Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Let's see the young man first. If he dares to ride in the same carriage with my sister, he must take responsibility. Maybe Ning'er's marriage will be settled this way."

Gu Yi frowned: "I was kind enough to find Ning'er and send her back, but you are still plotting against me? Humph!"

Gu Ning is disabled, so it is difficult for him to get married. Gu Yi looked down on Gu Cheng's despicable and calculating look, and strode out of the door first.
