Chapter 48 Lin Yue Bai
“My name is Lin Yue Bai, remember it. Although my home is quite far from here, my uncle, Wang Zhi Bai, has settled in Lian Town. You can directly come to the yamen to find me. I want to see if there is any law in this world that allows common women to be robbed on the street.”
“Wang Zhi Bai… Isn’t that the name of the magistrate?”
“My heavens, this woman’s uncle is actually the magistrate of Lian Town. It’s truly unbelievable.”
“Wang Hu, relying on his father’s wealth, has always been arrogant and domineering in town. I didn’t expect him to have kicked a steel plate this time. I don’t know if he can survive this.”
“His father has plenty of silver. He can save his only son, it’s fine even if he goes bankrupt.”
“This is not necessarily true. Didn’t you hear what that person called Lin Yue Bai said? She said her home isn’t here? Her uncle is the magistrate, not to mention that her family might have other high-ranking officials. And judging by her accent, she seems to be from the capital, so she probably has a significant background.”
“I have heard of the magistrate’s main family. They are the well-known Bai family in the capital. Not only are all the direct descendants of the clan officials, but this year, it is said that Prime Minister Bai’s only legitimate daughter, Qian Bai, was sent into the palace as a consort!”
“That amazing, now Wang Hu won’t be able to show off anymore.”
After Lin Yue Bai spoke, Gu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
Immediately, the surrounding crowd’s chatter made Gu Yu smile wryly, feeling that he hadn’t checked the almanac before going out today and had actually provoked such a big trouble.
Now, he could only hope that this woman wouldn’t be too headstrong and that the matter could be resolved through reasonable conversation. Gu Yu would strongly approve of that.
Otherwise, he could only react as the situation unfolded.
Although Gu Yu could directly use his space to take Lin Yue Bai away, the sudden disappearance of a person would definitely cause a huge uproar.
After all, in the feudal ancient times, people believed in all sorts of ghosts and gods, and Lin Yue Bai had a noble identity. Gu Yu was afraid that… all the onlookers who participated would also be arrested.
If the murderer couldn’t be found, they might all be dealt with together.
Therefore, he had to see how the situation developed.
Until the last moment, Gu Yu had no intention of revealing his space as a cheat.
“Why aren’t you talking anymore? Weren’t you very powerful before? You even said you would take me home. I really want to see what your home is like to raise such trash.”
“…It was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I was blinded by greed, and I offended Miss. I truly deserve to be beaten!”
By stating her identity, it meant that Lin Yue Bai did not intend to let Wang Hu off. After Wang Hu had been lying on the ground for a long time without speaking, she immediately spoke to press him for an answer.
This made Wang Hu’s already pale face even paler. After hearing that Wang Zhi Bai was Lin Yue Bai’s uncle, even if Wang Hu had a hundred times more his current courage, he wouldn’t dare to touch this woman again.
What bad luck. He finally encountered a beautiful woman, but she turned out to have such an unprovokable background.
Now, he was in a difficult position and didn’t know what to do.
After saying a few words to save the situation, while his mind was rapidly thinking of a way to cope, Wang Hu’s eyes darted around.
Afterwards, seeing Gu Yu standing honestly beside Lin Yue Bai, Wang Hu’s eyes lit up. He felt that he had found someone to take the blame for him.
Since Lin Yue Bai already thought this man was his accomplice, then it was better to use him than not.
To die for the great young master Wang would be considered a worthy death!
“Miss Bai, I am truly sorry. I am not usually this frivolous. It is this man standing beside you who has been repeatedly instigating me and making me attack you.”
“Oh? What did he instigate you to do?”
“He said you were beautiful. At that time, I didn’t pay much attention, but who knew that after seeing Miss Bai, I realized that you truly…”
“Stop, are you saying that this person called me beautiful?”
Lin Yue Bai interrupted Wang Hu before he could continue. Then, her eyes instantly became bright and sparkling. Following that, her gaze towards Gu Yu made Gu Yu instinctively feel that something was wrong.
Could it be that this woman had taken a liking to him!
