Unreasonable
Chapter 366 Unreasonable
Apparently, the man could not believe that the woman standing in front of him, with the messy hair and clothes, was Princess Yu, who was well-known in the Capital City.
Fortunately, the experienced Steward Deng took out the token from Prince Yu’s Mansion. The problem was then solved. However, the leader still did not accord them the proper respect.
"Even if you are Princess Yu, you should be with your husband and your family at home. I don’t think they would approve of you getting involved in affairs with some hooligans. You should behave yourself and act like a real princess."
The man was actually lecturing Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya felt angry, but found it funny at the same time. The man was a warrior, but he spoke like a scholar.
"I forgot to ask. Who are you?"
Lin Mengya was trying to be patient, while the man was quite disdainful of her. Lin Mengya was curious about his attitude, because they had never met each other before.
"I’m the deputy commander of the royal guards, Ye Shuanghe. Princess Yu, you may go back home now, but should you have anything to do with these hooligans, I hope you will cooperate with us in our investigation."
That line sounded familiar to Lin Mengwu. The man could really have been a policeman in a gangster film if he had been born in modern society.
That was the classic line in almost all those films.
Lin Mengya also knew that he must have been sent here by someone.
The commander looked righteous, but Lin Mengwu knew he was being used by someone, probably out of personal interest.
Lin Mengya tidied herself. It seemed that she was not angry with Ye Shuanghe for what he said.
Ye Shuanghe was now sure that the beautiful woman was threatening in manner, but cowardly at heart.
Therefore, he did not know that the woman merely appeared calm. Her tone became severe again.
"Those hooligans came here to attack me. It is your responsibility to keep the Capital City safe. As the command of the royal guards, you did not check on those hooligans when you arrived, and instead, you are blaming us, the victims. What kind of guards are you? I’m sure my husband would be as curious about the answer as I am. I should send him to you and let him ask you the question himself."
There was a light in Ye Shuanghe’s eyes. He did not seem as cocksure as he was earlier.
The deputy command had been informed by the commander of how eloquent the princess could be. He thought he had already taken the moral high ground, but the woman put him at a disadvantage with merely a few words.
"Forgive me for not being over concerned with your safety. I would feel ashamed if Prince Yu were to come and ask me this himself. I’ll let them escort you back home right now."
He was trying to send her away because he failed to outspeak her.
Lin Mengya felt even more curious.
She did not want to leave, because it was obvious that those people in the room were sent here by Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengyu.
As for these royal guards, Lin Mengya knew they were sent here by the Crown Prince to save those hooligans.
If she left now, they would remove all the evidence.
"Hold on. I was scared, being the victim and eyewitness of this case. I’m also a doctor. I just checked on them and found that their injuries are quite serious. I hope you can deal with them for me and keep me updated. Keep them alive so I figure out why they were doing this. If you don’t have anyone who can heal their wounds, I can do the job. I don’t want them to die of hunger or cold in the prison, that way I’ll never be able to find out the truth."
Lin Mengya was indicating something. Ye Shuanghui knew this was getting troublesome.
He was here not just for dealing with the situation; he was here to catch Lin Mengya on site.
