Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 592 - 590

Chapter 592: Chapter 590

When the wooden planks of the carriage were scattered apart, revealing the three occupants to everyone’s sight, the people on the street gasped in horror and were simply dumbstruck.

Some hurriedly covered their own eyes, and those with children hastily covered their children’s eyes.

"Oh my god! The morals of society are completely degenerating!"

"What a disgrace!"

"It’s an eyesore!"

"What a degenerate!"

"Scum!"

"Utterly disgraceful!"

"No sense of propriety!"

...

Yang Liu quickly shut her eyes, refusing to look directly at the scene, thinking her master’s actions had been ruthless!

How could one live with such shame?

But those people were relentless, repeatedly pushing the limits and testing the patience of her master.

Xiao’er also thought it was too harsh! However, if she wasn’t blessed with an undefeatable power, she’d be in the same situation.

Seeing Xiao’er’s expression of discomfort, Shangguan Xuanyi was worried. Would this maiden think that he was too brutal?

When Xiao’er turned her head and saw the conflicted look on Shangguan Xuanyi’s face, she immediately understood his concerns.

Xiao’er squeezed Shangguan Xuanyi’s hand and gave him a reassuring smile, not saying much.

No matter how Shangguan Xuanyi treated others, he was unconditionally kind to her. This gesture filled her with warmth and happiness.

Xiao’er had no sympathy for them. There was a saying: Heaven is merciful, but man reaped what he sowed!

Seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi let out a breath of relief and returned Xiao’er’s smile, also not saying much.

Everything was said in silence, they understood each other perfectly.

The Third Prince reacted rapidly, hastily using his clothes to cover his body and face.

Zhuge Meiyu was bewildered: How had she ended up under the clear sky? Wasn’t she in the carriage?

Then she turned her head, and saw the contemptuous gaze from the commoners in the street, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Coming to her senses, Zhuge Meiyu let out a scream that echoed to high heaven.

"Shut up! Do you want more people to see?" The Third Prince, hearing Zhuge Meiyu’s shriek, furiously whispered this--while at the same time, he raised his crop but instead of his usual stern discipline, he struck the horse, making it surge forward even faster.

Zhuge Meiyu hastily picked up her clothes to cover herself in confusion, utterly at a loss whether to cover her face or her body.

Birou snapped into action as well, she paid no mind to her own modesty and used her clothes to cover Zhuge Meiyu.

The carriage continued to move. The Third Prince kept his face veiled and whipped the horse again, making it gallop faster.

In Imperial City, there was a Chess Club where government officials loved to idle away by playing chess. Upstairs in a private room, two officials were playing chess and when they heard the clamor on the street, they both looked out of the window in astonishment!

A carriage without any cover, carrying three "nearly naked" persons, quickly disappeared into the far end of the street.

"Utterly scandalous!"

"Absolutely shameless, a disgrace to the family!"

One of the officials shook his head, not wanting to look any further to avoid getting an eye-ache.

Another official squinted thoughtfully at the vanishing carriage, "The people in the carriage looked a bit like the Third Prince and the Princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"What! Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?" The official hearing this, quickly leaned further out of the window!

If it really was the Third Prince, then he would need to prepare his pen to lash out again!

As a royal prince, his actions were utterly disgraceful! It’s a complete mockery of imperial dignity!

The Third Prince used to be a person who stricty followed rules! Ever since the princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty came, why has he become so unscrupulous! These two together would probably lead society astray!

"I don’t know, anyway, the woman really looks like the princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

He couldn’t see the man’s face as it was covered with his clothes, but he saw the Third Prince dressed like that this morning. Adding on that the woman is Zhuge Meiyu, who in this world would dare to touch the Third Prince’s fiancée, it must be the Third Prince without a doubt!

"Let’s go, let’s go down and take a look! There are signs on the wood of the carriage’s compartment."

The two government officials did not continue playing chess and hurriedly ran down.

The scene just now was utterly scandalous, the people on the street gathered in small groups discussing feverishly, all guessing who the three people on the carriage were.

Some kids were asking their parents:

"Mommy, what were those three people doing just now?"

"Mommy doesn’t know, mommy didn’t see."

"Dad, why weren’t they wearing clothes?"

"Maybe because it’s too hot, their clothes were soaked with sweat, they were changing them!"

The parents, sweating bullets, were racking their brains on how to answer.

"Dad, I’m also hot, my clothes are also wet, I want to change clothes too!" After saying this, the little boy began to undress.

The father, frightened, quickly slapped his hand: "We’re in the street! How can you change clothes here!"

"But weren’t those three people changing their clothes on the street just now!"

"That’s because they have no shame! We can’t learn from them! Shameful!"

The two government officials turned pale listening to this, truly the behaviours of those people are corrupting the children, those under keep following the bad example of those above, children are the future of the country, such behaviour must be denounced, arrested, and eradicated!

The two came to the fallen carriage compartment board on the ground and inspected it - indeed it was the inn’s carriage, the girl must certainly be Zhuge Meiyu!

The two officials rushed back to the Government Office to write memos.

The carriage stopped at a deserted alley. The three of them had already dressed. The Third Prince, usually refined and elegant, now had a gloomy face.

Zhuge Meiyu buried her face in her knees and sobbed.

Birou knelt beside her, shivering.

"Enough, stop crying!" The Third Prince was thinking of countermeasures in his heart, but Zhuge Meiyu’s crying made him very annoyed.

"You scold me! I’m miserable! Isn’t it all because of you!" Zhuge Meiyu had never been wronged since she was a child, and now she couldn’t bear it.

"It’s this prince who has been ruined by you!" The Third Prince laughed with anger upon hearing these words, who exactly ruined who!

Ever since being with her, his life has never been so miserable.

The image he had painstakingly built for many years was destroyed in an instant!

Now even the Li family is distancing themselves from him, he has been rejected several times when he visited!

"What do you mean by this!" Zhuge Meiyu was furious when she heard this, she raised her head, her eyes red, and stared at him fiercely.

As soon as the words came out of the Third Prince’s mouth, his reason returned, and he regretted being too impulsive just now.

"I said that we were all ruined by Shangguan Xuanyi and the lady of Rui’an County!"

Zhuge Meiyu’s face softened a bit: "That’s right! They were the ones who ruined us!"

Directing dissatisfaction with each other at a common enemy could not be wrong!

"I will not let them go."

"What do we do now?" Zhuge Meiyu thought about what happened just now, truly she felt like dying!

How would he know what to do! Annoyance flashed across the Third Prince’s face.

"Let’s hurry back while there nobody is here!" The Third Prince glanced at Birou next to him, and thought of a plan: "we’ll say the people in the carriage were two of your maids and a servant boy!"

"That’s a good idea!"
