Chapter 1876: Xun Sheng Meets the County Princess

The two leading figures among the newcomers were dressed as scholars and had handsome appearances. Behind them were four people carrying wooden sticks, likely bodyguards or enforcers.

Chen Qiu, gasping for breath, supported Chen Bing's hand and whispered, "Father, don't worry, I've brought Xun Sheng here for help. Xun Sheng's close friend is a local wealthy man. He brought four bodyguards with him. We don't need to fear them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bing let out a sigh of relief, "Well done."

Xun Sheng had some reputation, and he didn't believe that these people would dare to lay hands on him. Even if they did, with the four bodyguards around, they were all skilled. He wanted to see who would come out on the losing end.

This was Changjin Prefecture after all, not Dong'an Prefecture where they could call the shots.

Even the people from the Pan family relaxed when they saw the newcomers. Their expressions seemed to gain a newfound confidence all of a sudden.

Chen Qiu stood up and swept her gaze over the Lu family members before running to Xun Sheng's side. She looked pitiful as she said, "Brother Xun, it's them. I don't know where these bandits came from. They barged into our house and started calling for violence. My father has been beaten like this, and they still want to force him into the water. It's truly unjust."

Xun Sheng first approached Chen Bing, took a look at his injuries, and frowned.

Chen Bing immediately started groaning and complaining about the pain, looking quite pitiful.

Xun Sheng stood up, saying, "I don't know where you people came from, but breaking into someone's house is against the law. Even if you report it to the officials, you won't have a leg to stand on. Moreover, you're also attacking and injuring people, which is against moral and legal principles."

Lu Sanzhu pointed at Chen Bing and scolded, "Why don't you ask him what he did?"

"Regardless of what uncle Chen did, we should start by discussing things rationally. If he has committed a major mistake, you can report it to the authorities. Engaging in private fights is unacceptable in any case."

After Xun Sheng spoke, his companion stepped forward as well, "That's right, shouting and calling for violence as you did is disgraceful. This is Changjin Prefecture. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame us for not being polite."

As they spoke, the four bodyguards advanced directly, pounding their sticks heavily on the ground.

This scene made both the Pan and Chen family members lift their chins, looking across with cold smiles.

The onlookers were a little shocked, involuntarily stepping back, afraid that they might get involved.

Lu Sanzhu was taken aback, widening his eyes, "What? You don't dare to fight back now?"

Xun Sheng shook his head, "Resorting to violence is beneath us. We are all well-mannered people and naturally unwilling to engage in such actions. However, you have already injured uncle Chen. Why don't you apologize first and then sit down to discuss this properly, to see if there's any misunderstanding?"

Chen Bing yelled, "There's no misunderstanding. They can't stand seeing me doing well. They not only came to pick a fight but also want to use this opportunity to harm me."

Upon hearing these words, Xun Sheng frowned. He had just given the best advice, but uncle Chen...

Before he could say anything more, he suddenly heard a strange female voice.

"Xun Sheng, can you represent the Chen family?"

Xun Sheng was momentarily stunned, turning to the source of the voice. The girl in front of him seemed very familiar.

As he kept looking, his pupils slightly dilated, and he stepped forward a few steps in disbelief, "You, you're village lord Lu, no, wait."

He hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, "Xun Sheng, I've had the honor of meeting Princess of Wen'an."

Everyone else: ???

Did they hear correctly just now?

Princess of Wen'an?!
