Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: Return to the Mansion (5)

Yang Ruxin’s eyes flashed for a moment. Qi Jingyun had been keeping a low profile all this way, so how did Cai Mingda find out about him? Moreover, it seemed that Qi Jingyun held this man in high regard, which left only one possibility, Cai Mingda was one of his Prince’s men.

On this side, Yang Ruxin and the others got off the carriage.

Over there, Cai Mingda had already said goodbye to Qi Jingyun and was about to get on the carriage when he suddenly saw Yang Ruxin. Then, he saw two familiar faces and his brows immediately furrowed. How could the Cheng Family’s girl and boy be here?

“Third Master,” Yang Ruxin said with a faint smile, “didn’t you go down to take a look around?”

“No,” Qi Jingyun nodded slightly, “How was it? Did you enjoy yourselves? There are plenty of snacks to try in Yangzhou City…”

Yang Ruxin shook her head, “Enjoy? We were nearly scared to death and angered to death, we didn’t even eat our fill…”

Qi Jingyun raised an eyebrow slightly.

“The local bullies here are tough,” Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but sigh, “Someone actually dared to kidnap a girl in broad daylight. I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I brought the person back…” she said, pointing to Cheng Fofo and Cheng Nuo.

Qi Jingyun frowned, “In my grand Daxuan Empire, someone dares to do such a thing?”

“Why wouldn’t they dare?” Yang Ruxin scoffed coldly, “But forget it, they say even a mighty dragon can’t suppress the local snake. The kidnapper is the nephew of the County Magistrate, what can we do? Luckily, we’ll be leaving soon. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to interfere. If they silenced me, that would be the end of it…”

Cai Mingda was trembling at the news, cursing that nephew in his heart.

“Is that so?” Qi Jingyun’s gaze immediately turned to Cai Mingda.

Cai Mingda dared not reveal his identity now and could only nod fervently, indicating he would definitely investigate and deal with it sternly.

Qi Jingyun’s gaze relaxed a bit.

“Exactly, the victims are right here,” Yang Ruxin sighed again, “Such officials are like termites, experts in exploiting the common people. It’s uncertain when their superiors will be implicated… It’s a pity I don’t have the authority, otherwise, I would deal with him…”

Qi Jingyun smiled a little, “Since you’re here, come aboard the ship. We’re about to set sail…”

Yang Ruxin thanked him, glanced at Cai Mingda, and then led everyone onto the ship.

Qi Jingyun swept another glance at Cai Mingda before finally boarding the ship.

As the passenger ship slowly departed from the dock, Cai Mingda wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was helped onto the carriage by a servant.

“Master, where to?” the coachman asked. These past days, the master had been resting at Little Taohong’s place.

“Back to the mansion,” Cai Mingda said irritably. He needed to get back and deal with that woman, since her worthless nephew was going to ruin him. If he died, would the Fu Family still be able to enjoy the good life?

No matter how Cai Mingda went back to settle things, Yang Ruxin and her party were comfortably enjoying their dinner, which was particularly sumptuous with newly purchased Huaiyang cuisine as they had just done their shopping.

Meanwhile, in a residence on the outskirts of Yangzhou City.

“Are you sure it was him?” A woman missing one arm and one leg was hysterically shouting, “Is it really him?”

“The subordinate saw the resemblance…” the subordinate was also conflicted, “Only, last time he was dressed as a man, but this time the subordinate saw him on the street dressed as a woman…”
