Chapter 387 Punish the Scum
“Which hand?”
Lin Mengya said word by word in a deep and ruthless voice.
Despite her thin and weak figure, she firmly held the scum down, with a murderous look on her delicate face.
Her black eyes were full of ruthlessness getting increasingly thick, making others tremble with fear.
No one believed that the gaze was from a seemingly weak young childe.
“Let go of me! Who do you think you are? I got a name in the Capital City! B*stard, I’ll send someone to kill you!”
The scum kept saying some rude words. The people around tended to wait and see.
Nevertheless, obviously this scum was very unpopular. Some people, who had been bullied by him before, cheered secretly. However, they could only swallow their emotions for fear of the scum’s forces.
“I’m asking you, which hand did you use to touch her!”
Lin Mengya’s patience was about to be exhausted by him.
Despite her weakness in strength, she seized the weak spot of this man with her vigorous hands. In a short while, the scum’s forehead was already covered with sweat.
“Refuse to tell me? Well, I’ll chop both of your paws!”
No one expected that this young childe, who had been kind a moment ago, was actually so ruthless.
They saw him pick up the chopsticks on the table and suddenly insert them into the scum’s hand on the table.
The scarlet blood was gushed up, looking especially distinct on the back of the white and fat hand.
It was accompanied by the scum’s heartrending scream. This vicious means immediately made the crowd, who had just created a disturbance, fall into temporary silence.
“You’re reckless of life! I tell you, I’m Gu Qing, and my boss is the master of Willow Gang... Ah...”
His howls got increasingly heartrending, because Lin Mengya had fixed the other hand of his on the table with chopsticks.
No one expected that Lin Mengya would have such great strength that she could even easily penetrate the table more than an inch thick with chopsticks.
But at this moment, Master Guo secretly prevented his two deputies from stepping forward to help Lin Mengya out of the predicament.
He just motioned for them to go outside to stop the scum’s henchmen from delivering a message.
He meaningfully stared at the sullen and angry young man with a pair of shrewd eyes.
The young man was agile with the passionate way of repaying and revenge. Both of these revealed that the child was extraordinary.
Who was he exactly? He had such tactics and sense. It would be a pity if he was only the son of a businessman.
“Willow Gang, right? I’ve never taken it seriously. Your boss has lost to me before. Tell your boss to wait for me without playing any tricks. The day I come back after handling my business will be the last day of his life!”
In fact, this tumor-like gang had restrained themselves a lot recently because the Crown Prince lost his power repeatedly.
Lin Mengya had been busy with the affairs in the palace with no time to deal with these minions.
It was mainly because she clearly knew that the marketplace had its own rules and nothing could be accomplished without rules. As long as there was another gang, that was comparable to Willow Gang but more aboveboard than Willow Gang, rising, she didn’t mind helping it in secret.
Unexpectedly, these peripheral local ruffians were so unrestrained.
In this case, she would certainly eradicate them once and for all and leave no chance for their revival!
“You... Ouch, my hands! Wait and see. You and your wife will cry and beg me for mercy sooner or later!”
The scum was obviously not observant and thought that he could still bully any others as usual with the support of his boss.
However, he didn’t know that the young man in front of him was the fiend who was considered a pain in the ass by the boss he mentioned.
Nowadays, all members of Willow Gang knew that they would rather mess with the King of Hell than Princess Yu!
However, the severe pain made the scum’s red face turn pale, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Although Lin Mengya didn’t think it enough to vent her anger, she couldn’t cause more trouble because they were setting out.
After giving a cold glance at the scum, she directly walked up to Master Guo and gently saluted with hands folded and raised in front of her face, but Master Guo reached out and held her arms.
” Master Guo, I caused the trouble and will bear the consequences.”
Lin Mengya said apologetically, but Master Guo showed a rare appreciative smile.
“You’re brave and astute and act without the slightest hesitation. Little brother, you are talented. If you can’t protect your own wife, you can’t be considered a real man. I appreciate you. Rest assured. It’s just a Willow Gang. I’ve traveled around the world for the half of my lifetime and been through various hardships. Let’s go. All of our members have arrived.”
Lin Mengya knew that she had won the respect of Master Guo .
Making a living in their circle, they had their bottom line that kindness and hatred should be clearly distinguished. What she did in the morning was natural and didn’t expose any flaw of a childe from a wealthy family. So she had won the favor of the entire caravan.
Now her sense of responsibility even made other admire her more.
If they had only regarded Lin Mengya as a child, now she had become a remarkable figure in this small team.
However, only Master Guo knew that this little guy was not a reckless person.
The little guy knew nothing about martial arts, but he managed to seize the scum’s weak spot at once with her advantage of lithe figure and sharp eyesight.
Her wit made her more than a reckless man.
“Thank you, Master Guo. I’m Yuan Lin from Yunzhou. I’m upright and aboveboard. If anyone wants to mess with me, just come to me. It has nothing to do with others.”
After finishing speaking, Lin Mengya strode out of the inn.
She didn’t miss that several people looking like local ruffians itching to have a go just now.
In the future, Master Guo and others still had to settle here, so she told her name on her own initiative.
Anyway, the Yuan family in Yunzhou were a couple meticulously selected by Yunzhu, and they did have an only son named Yuan Lin.
However, it was said that this Yuan family were experts in poison.
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. No matter how many scums got killed, no one would feel sorry.
Master Guo urged the members to set out, and Lin Mengya returned to the carriage.
Baishao’s face was still flushed, but her eyes were filled with tears.
She had never suffered such grievances in her lifetime. But at the same time, she was worried about her Master.
“Things have been settled. Don’t be sad. I have taught him a lesson for you. Sorry, I implicated you in this.”
Lin Mengya said apologetically. She had originally planned to leave all three maids at home waiting for her.
But she also understood that if she didn’t take one of them, the three maids would definitely go on the tour with her in secret.
She would rather take one of them with her. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened before they left the Capital City.
Seeing the grievance on Baishao’s face, she considered it seemingly not severe enough to punish the scum by injuring his hands.
Seeing her Master’s expression, Baishao shook her head vigorously.
The reason for her indignation wasn’t just that the scum had taken liberties with her.
Besides, she complaint about herself.
“Master, I don’t blame you, but blame myself for being so useless. If I were a man, perhaps I could protect you.”
Lin Mengya knew that no matter how outstanding a girl was, she still felt herself inferior in this society.
Even an extremely intelligent girl like Shangguan Hui had to live a cautious life for the power of her family, right?
If she were not born in the relatively enlightened Lin family , she would certainly be reprimanded by her family for not complying with the standards for women.
The fate of Baishao was much more tragic than hers.
If Baishao had not entered the prince’s mansion and served her, she would not be able to escape the fate of being someone’s concubine sooner or later.
“No, it’s the same as a girl. We are not different from men.”
Lin Mengya held Baishao’s hand and sincerely told her about the idea of equality between men and women in modern times.
“I have read in a book that there is a State of Ease on the shores of the North Sea. In the country, women can also be officials and go to school. If a man is not loyal to a woman, the woman can also divorce him.”
Baishao looked at Lin Mengya with astonishment, as if she dared not believe that there was such a place around the world.
“However, a century ago, the situation in the State of Ease was the same as in the Jin State. Women could only be subordinate to men. But afterwards, countless women fought desperately for their rights. I believe that it will happen in the Jin State sooner or later. It shows that we women are not inferior to men.”
Lin Mengya’s words were like an imperial edict to Baishao.
She believed every word of Lin Mengya with no doubt.
The inferiority complex deep in her heart suddenly disappeared like dark clouds.
She seemed to have grasped something, but it flashed by. Some inexplicable thoughts gradually germinated in her heart.
“I know that you are not an ordinary girl. How can you lose to a man with your talents? Believe me, in the future, you will be a role model for the women in the Jin State. When the time comes, there will be millions of women taking you as their model. And the day where men and women are equal, will come sooner or later with our efforts.”
Even if Baishao knew how difficult to strive for equality between men and women, she was still moved by the State of Ease described by Lin Mengya.
If she were not destined to live in the backyard because she was a girl, perhaps she could have a different life.
During the period in the prince’s mansion, despite making use of her Master’s prestige, she could still manage the manors and shops of the prince’s mansion well.
Even some money-losing business showed a turn from loss to profit under her operation.
Even Steward Deng in the prince’s mansion always relied on her to make decisions.
She, who had an active mind, suddenly caught the inspiration.
