“However!” she said, “maybe, no one except us knows that my cla.s.smate Mei ever wore this clothing. He has probably already escaped, so we’d better just let him go. After a period of time, I will catch him and give him up to you. Moreover, everything stolen by him will also be returned!”
Looking at Puyang Yue with begging eyes, she hoped that he could forgive Mei. She hoped he wouldn’t take action against Mei.
However, Puyang Yue told her a fact that she wasn’t expecting. He told her: “When landlord Yang reported it to the feudal official, Adai and b.u.t.terfly stayed together. After b.u.t.terfly saw this cloth, she inadvertently blurted something out. That is the reason I have this important piece of evidence now.”
Bai Languo was very stunned. She glared at Princess b.u.t.terfly, as if she was glaring at the person who had killed her father.
b.u.t.terfly was frightened. She quickly hid in the arms of Puyang Yue. She explained in a crying tone,“I didn’t mean to say it. I didn’t expect that Adai would honestly tell everything to his family after going home. Then . . . then . . . ” She cried loudly in the arms of Puyang Yue.
b.u.t.terfly was a princess, so Bai Languo was helpless. Looking at b.u.t.terfly, who was sobbing, Bai Languo almost cried out. She said, “Anyhow, anyhow, your father is a prince. He has power and is very handsome, so . . . so your father should help you make up for your mistake!”
Puyang Yue let out a sigh and said, “If b.u.t.terfly didn’t blurt it out, I would have let him go. As the bodyguard of a princess, he only needs to be held liable for running away. However, landlord Yang asked me to uphold justice. I am a prince, so I will not perform malpractice for personal benefit.”
“My cla.s.smate Mei did that just for fun. How can you not save him?”
“He has escaped. He won’t be caught anytime soon.”
“If he is caught, what will you do?”
“He will be punished according to his crimes.”
“He. . . What crimes has he committed?”
“It will depend on the things that he stole.”
“How many things he did he steal?”
“I roughly estimate that he will be in prison for at least two or three years.”
“Two or three years?” Bai Languo was frightened. She said, “He was so young. How can he spend his good years in prison? No, no, I must save him, must save him!” She swore, waving the cloth. Suddenly, she had an idea. Then, she held the cloth and looked for a lantern. “Yes! I should destroy the evidence!”
Suddenly, she felt someone attack her. Her wrist was shocked numb. The piece of clothing also fell down to the ground.
b.u.t.terfly quickly ran over to pick up the cloth. Then, she gave it to Puyang Yue. She said to him, “Dad, here you are!”
Bai Languo couldn’t help glaring at Puyang Yue. She looked as though she had been fooled terribly. She angrily asked, “As a disabled man, how can you be so good at kung fu. . . ?”
“My dad has very good kung fu! You’d better not to offend him, because you will never defeat him!” b.u.t.terfly was very proud of her stepfather.
Bai Languo was very angry. Hmph!“Your kung fu is better than mine, so why did you ask me to protect you? Are you an idiot?!”
