The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Shen Xiaoyan was unable to break away from Brother Chen’s entanglement. She shouted in shock, “No, there is no such thing. My husband’s family name is Liu, and we are about to get married. Let go of me quickly, I want to go home, let me go…”

Brother Chen snorted and advised, “Dear, stop dreaming anymore. Your uncle has married his own daughter to the Liu family and promised you to me. Stop think about it. From now on, we are family.”

Hearing this, Xiaoyan was surprised and couldn’t believe it. How could her uncle do such a thing? She was scared, and she was still yelling and trying to break free.

People shook their heads and sighed, sympathizing with Shen Xiaoyan’s misfortune, but no one cared about the business of the “couple”.

“Dear, just accept it now. It’s indecent to quarrel on the street. Let’s go back and talk about it. Besides, there is still a lot of work to do. You must familiarize yourself with our home and discuss how to arrange our life in the future. Let’s go home.”

Brother Chen urged and pulled, trying to take the beautiful girl back.

As Brother Chen said, her aunt and uncle coveted the Liu family, so they wanted to marry their daughter instead of her. They agreed to sell Xiaoyan so that they could get some money and get rid of the obstructive one.

Poor Xiaoyan didn’t know it, and she was always deluded, dreaming about getting married.

At this moment, the government officials hunted down the murderers, causing chaos in the streets. People rushed towards each other and ran away.

Several angry people deliberately entangled with Brother Chen and signaled Xiaoyan to run away.

Shen Xiaoyan took the opportunity to break free. She dodged in the chaos, and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

Brother Chen was so entangled that he couldn’t catch up. He shouted angrily, helplessly watching the beautiful woman who was in his hand disappeared.

Xiaoyan finally got rid of that brother Chen and let out a long sigh of relief. She was still panicked. She was running while looking around, afraid to be caught back by Brother Chen.

Even if she was not caught, what should a weak woman do in this strange place?

Xiaoyan hid in a back-street alley. Looking at the strange houses and people, she didn’t know where to go. She was terrified and very helpless, and she shed tears from time to time.

Just then, a middle-aged woman came to her.

She looked at Xiaoyan and was very sympathetic to her encounter, “You are the woman who was sold by her uncle. You are so pitiful, where are you going?”

Shen Xiaoyan frowned and was anxious. She sighed with tears in her eyes, “I came here for the first time. There’re no relatives and no friends. I have nowhere to go. Oh, I want to go home, but I have no money, and I don’t know the way. I am so sad… “

She wanted to go home and ask for it clearly, go to her in-laws and tell them the truth, and ask back for her husband. Now, she had only that place to settle down.

“Well, poor girl, how could you wander around alone? The world is so chaotic, and if you meet a bad person, terrible things would happen. You live far away, how do you go alone? Not to mention how could you eat and drink, how tired you will be, you will encounter countless danger on the way. “

Xiaoyan was even sadder and more scared. It was really hard for her to return home.

The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, “Girl, how about you go with me? I’ll find a place for you first, and then think of a way, would you like it?”

Shen Xiaoyan was terrified and helpless. She heard the words, as if she had seen a savior. She was delighted and hurriedly thanked her.

It was like the old saying goes, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”

…

Suddenly someone came and interrupted Shen Xiaoyan’s narration.

Zhang Yunyan was a little nervous. They stopped.

The man saw them and stood still instantly.

In the night, they couldn’t see each other clearly, and they didn’t know who they met late at night, which made them all nervous.

They had been unable to evade, and couldn’t stop here to confront each other. They were moving slowly and very vigilant.

Coming closer, Zhang Yunyan saw clearly that this was a young man. He was ordinary, and seemed like a civilian at first glance.

Yunyan asked, “You don’t rest at home in the middle of the night and you are in a hurry. Where are you going?”

The man then knew that they were two women, and his nervousness was eased. He was a bit surprised that they dared to go out late at night. They got a nerve.

He answered, “I’m going to Shihe Village to visit my brother and sister-in-law and find my child by the way.”

“Why, your child is lost?”

The man looked sad and sighed, “Yeah, it’s been many days, how can I fall asleep. I heard that Shihe Village also had missing children and wanted to ask if there was any news.”

Zhang Yunyan sighed. Anyone who encountered this kind of thing would be anxious. No wonder he hurried away in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, a bright shooting star cut through the night sky, which was very distinct. Of course, it was not the shooting star, but the weird red bright object which was shocking.

The three of them were very surprised and shocked. No one spoke. They watched the “shooting star” go away and soon disappeared.

Zhang Yunyan looked at the night sky and asked, “What is that, do you know?”

The man shook his head and was puzzled, “I don’t know. I heard that these days it often appears. I don’t know why, or what it is, and whether it will bring good luck or disaster to this place.”

Shen Xiaoyan was terrified and said to herself, “I hope it is not demon or monster, and it will not bring disaster.”

Zhang Yunyan secretly sighed. The thing only appeared in the past few days. It would not be a good sign. She hoped that it wouldn’t hurt the people.

The man sighed again and prayed silently.

He was in a hurry and said, “My name is Li Youlin, and I live in Lianhu Village. If you hear about any missing children, please tell me.”

Yunyan heard the name of Lianhu Village. She was both surprised and excited, and asked, “You are from Lianhu Village! Great, you can rest assured that if we see the lost child, we must tell you.”

The man was grateful, “Thank you, goodbye!”

Zhang Yunyan looked at him leaving and sighed. She wanted to help people in her hometown find children, but she was afraid there was nowhere to find. She was going to send Shen Xiaoyan back to her distant hometown, and would be in a hurry along the way. How could it be so coincidental that she could see the child? She was just saying.

She wanted to have a good chat with Li Youlin and learn about the situation in her hometown. However, they were both in a hurry, and it was late at night, so she had to give up.

Zhang Yunyan looked at Li Youlin. He had gone. Then she was looking at the dark night sky. Except for the twinkling stars and fluttering clouds, she could not see the fiery “shooting star”. It seemed that the mysterious thing was far from here.

In the dark, Zhang Yunyan looked at the tall courtyard wall of Yan Mansion, breathed a sigh of relief, and accompanied Xiaoyan to leave this evil place.

Shen Xiaoyan went on to talk about her own experience. In the narration, she also sighed from time to time, and the sadness in her heart went with tears.

…

As mentioned earlier, Shen Xiaoyan escaped from the hand of Brother Chen and had nowhere to go. She accidentally encountered a kind middle-aged woman and left with her.

The middle-aged woman lived far away from the city. Without delay, she immediately led Xiaoyan out of the city. On the road, they hitchhiked and came to a village without suffering.

The woman took Shen Xiaoyan to a family and said, “This is my nephew’s house. Let’s go in to rest for a while and drink some water before leaving.”

At this moment, a man came out. He looked at Xiaoyan and the middle-aged woman, wondering.

The middle-aged woman introduced to Xiaoyan, “His name is Luo Yusheng, so you can call him Yusheng.”

“Nice to meet you!” Xiaoyan greeted him.

Luo Yusheng hurriedly greeted back. He was very happy, looking at Xiaoyan with a smile.

Shen Xiaoyan glanced at the unfamiliar man. He was not only tall but also very strong, and looked like a kind man. He was wearing patched clothes which was full of dirt and stains, and hadn’t been changed for a long time.

Xiaoyan was a little sad and sighed silently.

The middle-aged woman told Shen Xiaoyan that Luo Yusheng’s parents had passed away. He was nearly thirty years old, but he had not married and lived alone. His family life was pretty good. Just because the home lacked a person to keep the house, it seemed a bit messy.

She said while letting Xiaoyan sit down to rest and poured a bowl of water. Then she took Yusheng to the yard with her.

They argued as if discussing something, which was not loud enough to be heard.

Shen Xiaoyan looked around as she drank water, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly. This couldn’t be called a home.

The room was messy and dirty. There was no furniture except an old bed, a table and a stool. The bedding was old and dirty, and there were two baskets in the corner filled with sundries.

Xiaoyan was sad when she saw that Yusheng was a poor man. He was just as poor as herself. He supported the poor family alone, which was no better than her.

Xiaoyan was distressed for herself and sighed for the strange man.

After a while, Luo Yusheng entered the room with a smile, looking Shen Xiaoyan as if he wanted to say something.

Xiaoyan looked at the yard, the middle-aged woman was gone. She hurriedly asked, “Yusheng, where is that woman?”

Luo Yusheng smiled, his expression was a little weird, “She… She went to the village to do something, and she will be back soon.”

Why didn’t she tell her? Shen Xiaoyan was suspicious and a little uneasy. The village was unfamiliar to her, so she could only wait here.

Xiaoyan was alone with the strange man. She felt very uncomfortable. She lowered her head or looked around in silence.

Luo Yusheng was joyful, and he looked at her with a smile from time to time. There was something unspeakable in his joy. His eyes were hot, which made Xiaoyan very uncomfortable and uneasy.

She tried to avoid, feeling embarrassed.

The sun was about to set, and the woman had not returned.

Shen Xiaoyan was anxious. She got up and said, “Yusheng, where did the woman go? She hasn’t come back in such a long time, please take me to her.”

“She… She goes… Well, let me tell you the truth. She had already left. Where can you find her? She had sold you to be as my wife, and this will be your home since now.”

When Shen Xiaoyan heard it, she was dumbfounded with a scream. She immediately awakened and got up to leave.

Luo Yusheng pulled her back and shut the door. He spent the money to buy Xiaoyan, how could he let her go?
