Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

215 Don’t Come Over!

The carriage stopped near the market.

Yu Niaoniao was the first to jump out of the carriage. She turned around to look at Shen Xu. Seeing that he was about to get out of the carriage, she hurriedly reached out to help him hold his skirt.

She reminded him in a low voice, “Don’t forget that you’re the County Princess now. You have to pay attention to your image at all times!”

Shen Xu could only let go of his skirt and whisper.

“Being a woman is too much trouble.”

Yu Niaoniao held his arm. “This is nothing. A real woman has it much harder than you.”

Shen Xu carefully got out of the carriage and looked up. The market was filled with people and street vendors. It was very lively.

This was the first time he had seen a bazaar among the people. He could not help but feel curious.

He walked forward. Yu Niaoniao quickly pulled him back and reminded him again.

“Keep your steps small. Don’t sway from side to side. You have to remember at all times that you’re a lady.”

Shen Xu could only slow down.

He saw someone playing monkey on the street and immediately walked over.

Under the command of its master, the little monkey made all kinds of movements, causing many people to watch. Every time the little monkey made a difficult move, the crowd would erupt with enthusiastic cheers.

Shen Xu watched excitedly and couldn’t help but want to applaud.

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly covered his mouth and admonished him.

“Don’t make a sound, or your identity will be exposed!”

Although he was wearing female clothes, his voice was still that of a man. Once he spoke, his identity would immediately be exposed. Shen Xu could only swallow his words and clap hard.

After the performance ended, the performer led the little monkey to ask the judges for a reward. Most of them turned and walked away. Shen Xu felt that he had not had enough. He generously threw a silver ingot over.

The silver fell into the basin with a crisp sound.

The performer and those around him were stunned.

So much money. He was rich!

The performer quickly pocketed the silver and kept bowing to thank him. The scene attracted a lot of attention.

When Yu Niaoniao and Shen Xu left, there were still people discussing what had just happened.

“Not only is that young lady generous, but she’s also very beautiful. I wonder which family she’s from?”

“Look at you. Don’t tell me you like her?”

“Don’t think too much. That young lady looks very unfamiliar. She shouldn’t be a local. She might leave tomorrow.”

… .

While everyone was discussing, a short man looked at Shen Xu’s departing figure with covetous eyes.

Something occurred to him. He chuckled and followed.

Shen Xu had been pampered since he was young and was used to being extravagant. No matter what he saw, as long as he was interested, he would buy it. After buying it, he would play with it for a while before throwing it aside.

Yu Niaoniao strongly condemned his extravagance.

“That’s a waste!”

Shen Xu said indifferently, “It’s not worth much anyway.”

Yu Niaoniao could not help but reveal an envious expression. She wanted to be rich too!

When Shen Xu saw that someone was selling oil paper umbrellas, he thought that they looked pretty good. He did not care if he needed them or not and took out his purse to pay.

At this moment, a short man suddenly rushed out from the side and snatched the wallet from Shen Xu’s hand. Then, he ran far away.

By the time Shen Xu reacted, his hand was already empty.

As the heir of Prince Min, how could he tolerate his things being snatched by a little thief? Without thinking, he chased after him and shouted.

“Stop! Return my pouch!”

His voice was powerful and did not sound like a delicate lady at all.

The short man in front of him, who was running wildly, staggered and almost fell. He was terrified. Why was this young lady’s voice so rough?

In the blink of an eye, Shen Xu was about to catch up to the short man, who couldn’t care less about anything else. He sped up his escape while Shen Xu chased after him.

Yu Niaoniao chased after him and shouted.

“Forget it, stop chasing!”

Now that the human traffickers had not been arrested, she was very worried that Shen Xu would be in danger.

However, Shen Xu did not care about this at all. He only wanted to catch the thief and get his wallet back.

The short man was clearly extremely familiar with the terrain. He darted nimbly through the crowd, occasionally turning a corner.

Yu Niaoniao realized that there were fewer pedestrians and shops around her.

They were already moving farther away from the bazaar.

Yu Niaoniao had a bad feeling.

As it turned out, her hunch was right.

She and Shen Xu were led to a remote place. There was not even a house here, and the streets were empty. There was no one else except them.

The short man who had snatched the pouch suddenly stopped.

He turned to them with a wicked grin.

“The two of you must have worked hard after chasing for so long. Why don’t you sit with us for a while?”

Shen Xu stopped and cursed angrily.

“Cut the crap and give me back my purse!”

The short man threw up the pouch in his hand and caught it. He said calmly, “The pouch is here. If you want it, come and get it.”

Shen Xu wanted to say something, but Yu Niaoniao tugged at his sleeve. He turned around to look at Yu Niaoniao but saw two burly men appear not far behind her.

Looking around again, he saw a completely unfamiliar environment. Only then did Shen Xu finally sense that something was wrong.

He was nervous and scolded fiercely, “What do you want? I’m warning you, I’m not someone you can provoke!”

The short man grinned and said, “No matter what your identity is, you have to be obedient when you reach Wangsong City.”

Yu Niaoniao noticed the Eagle Guards in the dark.

She immediately shook her head at them, indicating that they shouldn’t move yet.

The few people in front of them were clearly just lackeys.

There was no point in capturing them.

The best solution now was to follow the clues and find out who was behind this and save the women who had been kidnapped.

Meng Xizhou, who was hiding in the shadows, understood what the County Princess meant. He could only let go of the hilt and continue to wait.

The short man approached the two burly men, Yu Niaoniao and Shen Xu.

Shen Xu shouted in panic, “Don’t come over!”

Yu Niaoniao also pretended to be afraid and hunched her shoulders, trembling.

The two burly men grabbed Yu Niaoniao and Shen Xu respectively. Yu Niaoniao and Shen Xu struggled hard. The two burly men took out the handkerchiefs they had prepared in advance and covered their mouths and noses.

The handkerchief was smeared with knockout powder.

After Yu Niaoniao and Shen Xu inhaled the knockout powder, they quickly felt dizzy. Their limbs went limp, and they fainted in a short while.

Seeing this, the short man chuckled with a wretched and smug expression.

“This young lady is born with delicate skin. She can definitely be sold for a lot of money.”

A big man pointed at Yu Niaoniao and asked.

“What do we do with this kid?”

The short man looked at Yu Niaoniao and saw that she was dressed exquisitely. She must be from a good family.

“Take him with us. We’ll contact his family later and see if we can extort some money?”
