After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 277 The Trouble Caused by Commandant Liu
"You slut, it's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you. Don't push your luck."

The man's arrogant voice echoed through the street, accompanied by the woman's cries and pleas for mercy.

Shi Nuanyu looked down and saw a man dressed in fine clothes grabbing a woman's hair. The woman was beautiful and dressed simply, and it was clear that she was the one being forced.

Just as he was about to order A'Rao to rescue the person, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Stop!" Fu Le rushed over aggressively, followed by two maids. "Liu Fugui, you're forcibly taking a woman again! Believe me, this princess will report you to the king!"

Liu Fugui boasted smugly, "My father is the Grand Commandant, and you are just a princess sent by Dongchen for a political marriage. The Crown Prince doesn't want you, and the Second Prince doesn't want to marry you. You're a useless piece of trash who dares to interfere in my business."

Everyone knows that Grand Commandant Liu is a first-rank official in the imperial court, deeply trusted by the emperor. Going against the Liu family is like throwing an egg against a rock.

Fule's face turned red, and she clenched her fists.

"The emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. As the son of a court official, you should set an example. Liu Fugui, your violation of the law is a disgrace to any gentleman."

Don't be afraid, do what you believe is right, and be a good princess who serves the country and its people, just like your elder sister.

"What nonsense about being a gentleman! I am a tyrant!" Liu Fugui scoffed, glancing at Fule with disdain. "So what if I forcibly take a woman? Who can punish me?"

Seeing Fule's stubborn expression, he became lustful and his lewd gaze swept over her body.

"Neither the Crown Prince nor the Second Prince want you. If you follow me, you'll live a life of luxury and I'll make sure you're happy every day."

“Despicable, shameless, and vile,” Fule cursed. “Even if I complain to the Crown Prince today, I will make you suffer.”

Princess is right. Women should not be bound by so-called rules and fate. Women can make a living through their own efforts.

Liu Fugui kicked the woman disdainfully, "How dare a mere unloved princess interfere in my affairs?"

Having said that, she angrily reached out to slap Fule. Fule, who was helping the woman up, was caught off guard and fell backward uncontrollably.

"Princess Fule, the princess said that if someone bullies you, you should repay them a thousandfold. Why don't you hit him?"

The screams of pain from hitting a heavy object were accompanied by scattered items and confused voices. Fule was pulled by the hand to steady herself. She opened her eyes and shouted with joy.

“Treasure, it’s you, Fule misses you so much.”

Zhenbao nodded with a grin and pulled Fule into a hug.

“Princess Fule, Treasure misses you so much. You’re so pitiful, being bullied by that ugly fool.”

Enraged, Liu Fugui scrambled to his feet and smashed the broken stall. The stall owner, too angry to speak up, quickly hid in a corner.

"Where did these little girls come from? Guards, take them back to the manor. I'm going to torture them to death."

The onlookers looked on with pity. The girls had met a bad end. Liu Taiwei's only son was tyrannical and had killed or injured countless people.

An old woman murmured in anguish, "Oh, what a tragedy."

Her two children also entered the Grand Commandant's mansion and never came out again.

Who are you going to arrest?

Shi Nuanyu slowly emerged from the teahouse, patting Fu Le's shoulder reassuringly, her cold gaze falling on Liu Fugui.

"I had no idea that the upbringing of the subjects of Beilin was so poor that they would do something as simple as forcibly abducting a woman in the street."

Fule hugged her arm in delight.

"Princess sister, Fule knew you were here."

She straightened her back and smugly tried to intimidate Liu Fugui.

"You're finished. Princess Sister won't let you get away with this."

Zhenbao chimed in, "You scumbag, the princess won't let you get away with this."

Liu Fugui and his entourage were surrounded by guards. He was slightly flustered, and when he realized that this was Beilin, he became arrogant and shouted.

"Bah! The timing of Nan Yue's arrival has nothing to do with Bei Lin's affairs. My father is the Grand Commandant, and a single word from him can send you to prison."

He scornfully cursed, "A lowly woman has become the Crown Princess? Is there no one left in Nan Yue? Not a single one who can..."

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the street. Liu Fugui fell to the ground, his right cheek quickly turning red. A'rao grabbed his neck. "Anyone who disrespects the Crown Princess shall die."

Shi Nuanyu looked down at him coldly, stepping on his fingers.

“You are the first person who dares to act recklessly in front of me. I am very displeased. I hereby award him twenty strokes of the cane.”

The guards, sensing her presence, brought her a chair, which she readily accepted. She glanced around at the people and spoke casually.

"I've heard that the son of the Grand Commandant of Beilin is arrogant and domineering, cruel and brutal in killing the people. The officials of Beilin are all useless and inferior, yet we've tolerated them until now."

"I am the Crown Princess of Nanyue, and I despise the filthy. Today, I will show some compassion and clear your name."

She had come up with a way to bring down the Liu family, but she wondered how he would respond.

What does the chaos in the Northern Court have to do with her?

"Shi Nuanyu, if you dare to touch me, aren't you afraid that Bei Lin will send troops to Nan Yue and cause war?"

Liu Fugui was held down by several guards. A'rao gave him a signal, and the guards raised their boards and brought them down heavily.

The screams reached the ears of the surrounding people, who looked at each other in bewilderment, none daring to step forward and cry out for justice.

Shi Nuanyu listened leisurely, “Ten years ago, Nan Yue, Bei Lin, and Dong Chen signed a ten-year peace treaty, allowing the people of the three countries to live in peace.”

"I never expected that Bei Lin would intend to disregard the treaty, especially since these words came from the only son of Liu Taiwei, a high-ranking official of the Bei Lin court."

She suddenly realized, "Grand Commandant Liu would not hide his plans from my beloved son. This matter is probably true. Grand Commandant Liu is really something else. He is going to cause chaos in the world. Wouldn't the name of a traitor fall on him?"

“Nan Yue is different. She is conscientious and abides by the treaty, after all, the world belongs to the people.”

Who would dare to bear such a grave crime as triggering wars among nations?

Liu Fugui was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he forgot to scream when the paddle hit him.

There are many people around; who knows what kind of rumors will spread.

Shi Nuanyu chuckled and played with the teacup that A Rao handed her.

"These treacherous officials intend to disrupt the peace of the world, so why do you still dare not report your grievances?"

Zhenbao had prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone early on, and was pulling Fule aside to shout out.

"Her Highness the Crown Princess loves her people like her own children. You can rest assured and boldly voice your grievances. She will not punish you."

Fule understood immediately and shouted back, "Those who have been wronged, cry out for justice! Your Highness will help you."

The fact that Grand Commandant Liu dared to retaliate meant that the charges against him were confirmed, and with hundreds of eyes watching him, he wouldn't dare to make any underhanded moves.

"Your Highness, I have been wronged!"

The woman who had just been forcibly taken by Liu Fugui knelt down in front of Shi Nuanyu, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shi Nuanyu personally helped her up and gently comforted her.

"Speak, and I will make the decision for you."

The woman stopped crying and stared blankly at her. In her mind, royalty were always high and mighty and looked down on commoners. Yet, Princess Nanyue was so gentle.

She sat in a chair, while Fule and Zhenbao each sat at a table, carefully taking notes.

“I am from Zhangjia Village in the west of the city. This morning I came to the market with my father to sell some wood carvings to supplement our family income. Who would have thought that Liu Fugui, who was passing by, would target me? He threatened me with my father to make me a concubine in his mansion. When I refused, he arrested my father.”

She pleaded urgently, "Your Highness, please save my father! He is still suffering in prison."

Shi Nuanyu nodded, "Don't worry, I will save your father."

She can't interfere in the affairs of the Beilin Prison, but Yu Changfeng certainly can.

"Your Highness, I beg you to do justice for this old woman!" A pitiful cry rang out as an old woman stumbled forward and knelt down. "My two children were tortured to death by that bastard Liu Fugui..."

One or two people cried out for justice, and dozens more followed suit. People flocked to their villages to voice their grievances, and within a short time, long queues formed on the streets.
