189 “Then, if anything happens to you, I won’t wait for you!”
It was obvious that the person who had rushed over through the crowd this time was the real person in charge of the Wang family.
The person who had shouted at the crowd not to let them leave was actually a burly man with a fierce expression.
He reached out to support a white-bearded old man as he strode over and stood in front of the crowd blocking Lin Suisui and the others. “Before you decided to let Shunye do such a shameful thing, did you think of the consequences if things failed?!
What we’re doing now will offend Gu Erlang and the Fang family!
If we let them leave now, what’s the difference between letting a tiger return to its den?!
“What if he finds out that we were rude to his wife? You also know Gu Erlang’s methods and temper! Previously, he killed those people who had ill intentions towards his wife without any hesitation!”
“But if we don’t let them go, won’t we offend Gu Erlang even more?!” After hearing this man’s words, some people couldn’t help but question.
If they let them go now, there might be room for reconciliation later.
However, if they really followed his suggestion and detained these women here, they would really become enemies with Gu Erlang!
“What’s there to be afraid of? Can Gu Erlang singlehandedly kill everyone in our family?!” The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows and glared at the person who raised the doubt with disdain. He smiled proudly as he said, “Our family has been through trials!
If you can’t even handle such a small matter, what else can I rely on you for in the future?!”
“How are you sure that I won’t kill all seventy-three members of the Wang family?!”
Before the old man could finish speaking, he was sent flying into the crowd and smashed to the ground. At this moment, Wang Shunye was so shocked that he took two to three steps back and relied on the help of his nephew to stand still.
Lu Ze strode in from the crowd. The longsword in his hand had already been unsheathed. He was no longer as low profile as before. He was like the most perfect jade in the mountain and which at this moment, the dust on its surface had finally faded, revealing its original appearance.
A sharp killing intent swept through the entire venue, making the unprepared Wang family subconsciously take two to three steps back and distance themselves from Lin Suisui.
With Lu Ze coming over, if the Wang family really wanted to stop them, they wouldn’t be able to.
For once, Lu Ze didn’t attack directly this time. Instead, after seeing that everyone was frightened away, he stopped and walked to Lin Suisui’s side. His protectiveness was obvious, but there was also a hint of aloofness.
At this point, although the Wang family was unwilling, they could only give up for the time being and let Lin Suisui, Mrs. Luo, and the others leave with Fang Rui’er.
This incident was resolved quickly.
Soon, with Lu Ze’s help, they returned to their tent.
As soon as they returned to the tent, Lu Ze pulled Lin Suisui back to the carriage of the ox cart. He left the rest of the matter to the Fang family. After all, the Fang family was the most heartbroken about Fang Rui’er encountering such a thing.
“Are you alright?!” After entering the ox cart, Lu Ze began to carefully examine Lin Suisui’s hands. He was relieved to find that she wasn’t injured.
“I’m fine. At that time, I wanted to save Rui’er as soon as possible, so I left directly! However, I didn’t expect to be stopped by them.”
When Lin Suisui thought of what had just happened, she was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
“They clearly want him to rape Rui’er and force her to marry him. No matter what, they won’t let the Fang family off! Originally, I heard from Mrs. Luo that Rui’er is actually already discussing marriage with Mr. Jin.”
After briefly telling Lu Ze about what had just happened, Lin Suisui could not help but lament, “After this incident, I wonder if the marriage…”
“If Mr. Jin is a responsible man, he definitely won’t take this matter to heart. However, if he cares, it’s actually human nature. I can only say that he’s not a good match for Fang Rui’er!”
When Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui’s lament, he said calmly, “Moreover, if the Jin family’s sixth son really avoided her because of this matter, the Fang family will be lucky for seeing his true colors before Fang Rui’er marred him.
The northern region is dangerous. Sometimes, it’s common for northern barbarians to cross the border and enter the territory to burn, kill, and plunder!
Sometimes, some tragedies are hard to avoid!”
Lu Ze said these words very implicitly, but Lin Suisui understood. She subconsciously thought of what King Gu Han had said to her when she was kidnapped.
She hesitated for a moment before looking up at Lu Ze. “Previously, I heard from King Gu Han that although many of the women who were kidnapped were abused by the northern barbarians, they didn’t give up. They went through painstaking efforts to return to their hometown, but in the end, most of them were abandoned by their families!
Actually, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.”
“There’s no need to ask. I don’t care.” Lin Suisui’s hesitation gave Lu Ze a chance to interrupt. He didn’t give Lin Suisui a chance to ask and gave her an answer.
“You were the one who was kidnapped and injured. It’s my fault for not protecting you, not yours!
I’m glad that you could come back safely!
Suisui, there are some things I should explain to you today. Perhaps we will encounter more danger in the future. It might even be a hundred or a thousand times more dangerous than the current situation.
I can’t guarantee that I can protect you for the rest of your life.
Therefore, if that day comes, I hope you’ll consider your own safety first! I want you to live. I don’t care if you’re a so-called chaste woman. I only want you to live!
“As long as you’re alive, you can return to my side again. As long as you’re alive, you can spend the rest of your life with me. That’s the greatest blessing from the heavens!”
Lu Ze reached out and pulled Lin Suisui into his arms. His tone was gentle. He was much more affectionate and comforting than usual.
“Then, if anything happens to you, I won’t wait for you!” Lin Suisui pursed her lips and tugged at the corner of Lu Ze’s shirt. Although Lu Ze’s words made her heart race, she still wanted to maintain her cool. Little did she know that her words were filled with tenderness.
