Chapter 124 That scoundrel can't stand to see me doing well.
Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears, terrified: "Your Highness, please understand! This woman was riding her horse recklessly and bumped into my son! Your Highness..."
"Who is right and who is wrong should be sent to the Dali Temple for investigation, and the truth will come out."
Lu Shangfeng didn't even glance at the mother and child, but looked only at Tuoba Feiyuan and smiled, "What do you think, young lady?"
"They should have been thoroughly investigated. They were the ones who frightened my horse!" Tuoba Feiyuan snorted coldly, looking at the mother and child with disdain.
However, it does feel great to have someone stand up for her.
My bad mood today has suddenly improved by half.
In particular, Lu Shangfeng took off his own robe and draped it over her shoulders.
Countless people around her were looking at her with envy.
Even the noble prince treated her with utmost respect, his tone of voice carrying a hint of flattery. How could anyone not envy her?
Tuoba Feiyuan finally regained some of the confidence that Chu Yueli's words had crushed, thanks to Lu Shangfeng.
The woman continued to plead, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you're innocent! Your Highness..."
The woman had never seen the Dali Temple in person, but she had heard of it.
If you're taken to the Dali Temple, you'll probably be skinned alive as soon as you get inside!
She deserves to die, but her son is so young. How can she send him to that hell on earth to suffer?
Two guards grabbed them and were about to drag them up.
Lu Fengjin arrived and said in a deep voice, "Wait!"
"Fifth brother?" Lu Shangfeng raised an eyebrow.
Tuoba Feiyuan snorted and didn't even glance at him.
“Third brother, this child is still so young, how can he be sent to the Dali Temple?” Lu Fengjin walked up to Tuoba Feiyuan, suppressing his anger. “Yuan’er, it was wrong of you to run so fast in the bustling market just now. We are in the wrong.”
He had been chasing after her all the way here, but he hadn't expected Tuoba Feiyuan's horsemanship to be even better than he had imagined; he could barely keep up with her.
Of course, he also had to take care of the people on the street, so he naturally didn't dare to go too fast.
But Tuoba Feiyuan didn't care; he knew something bad was bound to happen.
"Madam, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been chasing Yuan'er, she wouldn't have accidentally bumped into you..."
"Lu Fengjin, what nonsense are you talking about? They rushed out on their own, and they even scared me..."
"Yuan'er!" Lu Fengjin really didn't want to argue with her anymore.
Although he is a prince with a noble status, he must not oppress the people in this way.
He ignored Tuoba Feiyuan and looked only at Lu Shangfeng: "Third brother, if this matter is brought to the Dali Temple, it may very well reach Father Emperor. Do you really want to alarm Father Emperor?"
Having the Dali Temple interrogate two defenseless commoners is fine if no one complains, but if anyone does, it will surely arouse public anger.
He glanced around and said, "The streets are bustling today; many people must have witnessed the events. Does Third Brother really intend to investigate?"
Lu Shangfeng's eyes flickered. It wasn't necessary for him to get involved in this matter. He was just doing Tuoba Feiyuan a favor.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then I was wrong."
He waved his hand: "Someone, give this mother and child proper compensation and send them home."
"Yes!" The guard's attitude towards the woman and child immediately improved. After handing over the silver, the woman quickly left, fearing that she would really be taken to the Dali Temple.
Lu Shangfeng looked at Tuoba Feiyuan, whose eyes were red with anger, and laughed, "Miss Tuoba, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that..."
He glanced at Lu Fengjin again, and although he didn't continue speaking, everyone could understand the meaning behind his words.
Tuoba Feiyuan gritted her teeth, glared at Lu Fengjin, and said angrily, "You dog of a man, you just can't stand to see me have it easy, can you?"
