The Admired Goddess Was Defiled by a Villain Like This

The commotion grew louder and louder.

Looking at this group of fierce-looking big men, the talented scholars and beautiful women cowered back.

Many of them looked towards the Prime Minister's Son, their faces urging him.

Weren't you usually quite righteous? Why are you so silent now?

Han Lin acted as if he hadn't seen anything, sitting there silently.

Sometimes identity is useful, but sometimes it's actually useless.

For example... when a scholar meets a soldier, reason doesn't prevail.

You want to talk about background and reason with them, but they just want to slap you in the face.

Why stick your head out then? Do you think your face is too hard?

Seeing that the Prime Minister's Son was useless, some clever people hurriedly went towards the inside of the small courtyard.

As things stood, the situation had completely exceeded their expectations.

Now, the most important thing was to quickly invite someone who could handle this matter!

During this grand gathering, the Chen Family Eldest Miss had been responsible for presiding over everything.

Only she could solve the current predicament!

Su Qing wasn't in a hurry, his sharp eyes scanning over them one by one.

He was waiting for someone, and also seeing if there were any unruly people.

If there were, he would be very happy to give them a small lesson.

Unfortunately, with the previous example, these scholars were all tight-lipped.

Wherever his gaze reached, no one dared to meet it.

Clearly, these people all understood the principle that a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him.

Just as he was feeling a little bored, a commotion came from far away.

The talented scholars and beautiful women all raised their heads, their faces filled with joy, as if they had found their backbone.

At this moment, their backs seemed to straighten up a lot as well.

Su Qing didn't care about these people, his eyes examining the figure walking from afar.

This was a classical beauty who seemed to have a gentle temperament.

Her skin was fair, even somewhat pale, as if she hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

Her face was exquisite, with slender willow-leaf eyebrows and pale pink lips, her overall appearance leaning towards fragility.

Her petite figure was wrapped in a well-fitting light cyan dress, and she walked quite slowly.

This girl, carrying a scholarly aura, was the Chen Family's pearl, the Capital's number one Talented Woman of Chen Family.

Although her age might not be older than anyone present, no one didn't admire her.

Not only were they convinced by her talent, but her delicate, willow-like demeanor was also quite endearing.

The moment Chen Chu Ci appeared, she was instantly the center of attention, like a moon surrounded by stars.

The scholars who had been timid just moments before now straightened their backs as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Each of them looked as if they shared a common enemy, practically itching to rush forward and offer themselves to be slapped just to show their support.

Clearly, the appearance of this popular talented woman of Chen Family directly boosted the morale of everyone present.

They seemed to have found their backbone and were now fearless.

Qin Lan Shan looked at her bestie at this moment, slightly lowering her eyes, feeling somewhat inferior.

In the past, before the Tang State Residence had its troubles, the two had gotten along quite happily.

But after the incident, she no longer had time to see her.

And this former bestie of hers was still so radiant and dazzling.

But what about herself?

She was now just the daughter of a convicted official; their statuses were vastly different.

"What, is being my slave such a shameful thing? Head up, chest out!"

Su Qing seemed to have noticed something, and he admonished the shopkeeper in a low voice.

There is indeed a thick barrier between you two now.

It's just that you're on the inside and she's on the outside, so don't get confused.

Qin Lan Shan was brought back from her wandering thoughts and subconsciously raised her head.

She felt inferior not because she was the master's slave, but because of her family's affairs.

Since the master had brought her out, she couldn't afford to embarrass him!

Chu Ci... Hmm?

The shopkeeper looked at her bestie, who was walking towards them, and frowned slightly.

Why did she feel like Chu Ci's condition was a little off?

Her face was cold, and she couldn't see her usual gentle smile at all.

Was it because she was being disturbed?

But why did the look in her eyes seem so unfamiliar?

Her eyes, which used to be so bright, were now so empty.

It was as if... she was being controlled.

Thinking of this, Qin Lan Shan was shocked and subconsciously looked at the young man beside her.

"Young Master Su, what does this mean? Is the Realm Protectorate really going to do whatever it wants in this Capital?"

"Or is the Realm Protectorate already planning to start a war with the Chen Family!"

Chen Chu Ci directly ignored her former bestie and questioned her in an icy voice.

"I'm just acting impartially. I suspect you're harboring remnants of the Heavenly Principles Sect here."

"Talented Woman of Chen Family, you wouldn't mind if I searched up and down, would you?"

Young Master Su had no intention of exchanging pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"What if I say no? You're putting the Chen Family..."

Chen Chu Ci was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"If you disagree, it means you have a guilty conscience, and I need to investigate even more."

"The first person to be taken down for investigation will be you, Talented Woman of Chen Family, be prepared."

Young Master Su had no intention of listening to such platitudes, and smiled slightly.

His voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable domineering air.

It could even be said... completely unreasonable!

Without any evidence, he came to search someone's place and didn't even give them a chance to retort!

Not only that, but he even said he was going to take her down.

This kind of unbridled behavior instantly caused an uproar.

The scholars, who had been cowering just now, stepped forward, wanting to argue on the basis of reason.

Unfortunately, before they could say anything, they were directly pressed to the ground by the big men in front.

Those who shouted loudly had their mouths stuffed, their faces filled with monstrous rage.

In front of their goddess, they had all transformed into generous men of courage, only regretting that they couldn't share her worries.

"Talented Woman of Chen Family, that's settled then. If you have any opinions, you can tell me later."

"Hmm, it's best to tell me alone, otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget."

As Young Master Su spoke, he placed his hand on the talented woman's slightly thin shoulder.

He didn't do anything, just helped to tidy up her slightly disheveled collar.

"Ah!!"

"Shameless thief, quickly let her go!"

"Come at me if you have the guts, what kind of skill is it to bully a weak woman?!"

Those scholars who could still speak had eyes that were about to split open, and they let out angry voices.

They wanted to rush up and rescue her, but they were casually pressed down.

At this moment, they could only watch helplessly as their flawless goddess was sullied by others.

Their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they could only make muffled sounds.

Some even had tears welling up in their eyes because the person who had acted was too rough.

Su Qing glanced at the surrounding scene of desolation, feeling rather strange in his heart.

Are they thinking that I'm really useless, that I can't protect anything, or something like that?

Hmm, the scene before him is simply a large-scale gathering of aggrieved parties.

After this wave, he really has become a great villain.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
