Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

When He Chun heard Ling Chuan say that he could deal with him, he quickly advised: "Young Master Ling, please think twice. This man is the second son of the Yongning Earl's Mansion. Because he cannot inherit the title, he is usually quite arrogant. If he gets naughty, he will really dare to smash the store. Before..."

"No need to do that. The nobles and aristocratic families in the capital all care about their reputation. You can take people out to spread the word. If the matter gets out of hand, won't Earl Yongning have to step in to deal with it?"

He Chun was still trying to persuade him: "That's the Earl of Yongning, a military commander and nobleman. Everyone in the capital has to give their family some face. If the second son of the Earl of Yongning is causing trouble, who would come to join in the fun? Anyone with a bit of sense would definitely stay away."

"That's easy. Don't say that Mr. Zhao is causing trouble here. Just say that Mr. Zhao got beaten here. That'll be all."

He Chun was completely stunned. How could this be possible?

However, Lingchuan's method should be effective. There are many people in various government offices in the capital who want to curry favor with the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. If they heard that the second young master Zhao was beaten, they would rush over to help.

He Chun went there in a hurry, while Ling Chuan walked slowly towards the front shop.

Zhao Youtang was looking curiously at the colored glass panels piled up in the shop. These colored glass panels were not as white as the ultra-clear glass of later generations. They had a slight green tint. With so many pieces stacked together, the green color was even more obvious.

He wanted to ask what it was, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, after all, he came here to cause trouble today.

He heard yesterday that Miss Tao Ran from the Music Bureau actually showed up in public to sing in this shop.

Three years ago, when Tao Ran was still a talented woman in the capital, Zhao Youtang admired her very much, but others looked down on him. Later, the Tao family was convicted and Tao Ran entered the Jiaofangsi. Zhao Youtang felt that his opportunity had come, but his father told him not to cause trouble in the Jiaofangsi.

Zhao Youtang could tolerate this. What kind of place is the Jiaofangsi? With his conditions, it would be a matter of minutes to bring Tao Ran home as a concubine. However, after spending hundreds of taels of silver, he didn't even get to see her.

Later, he learned about Tao Ran's rules, which required everyone except a limited number of powerful people to take a test on their literary talent. So Zhao Youtang paid a large sum of money to get a poem, and only then was he able to enter Tao Ran's courtyard.

After a few words of exchange, Tao Ran found out that the poem was not written by Zhao Youtang, but he still gave Earl Yongning some face and sang a song for Zhao Youtang, but he did it behind a screen.

Zhao Youtang boasted about this for two months, but Tao Ran never saw him again after that.

The more you can't get it, the more you miss it. In other words, Zhao Youtang has been pursuing Tao Ran for a year, but there has been no progress.

Later he learned that the newly crowned runner-up and third-place winners had not been able to meet Tao Ran, and he felt a little smug about it. He was bragging about it when he was drinking with others yesterday, and then he heard about this incident.

If someone with higher status than himself came into Tao Ran's yard to listen to music, Zhao Youtang could still accept it. But yesterday Tao Ran actually sang and played the guitar in public. What were the status of those peddlers and hawkers that they were treated better than him?

I have never seen Tao Ran sing and play the guitar in person, so what qualifications do a bunch of peasants and money-makers have to watch her sing and play the guitar in person?

All in all, Zhao Youtang was in a very bad mood. If his father had not been strict in the past two years, he would have taken action as soon as he entered the door.

But after sitting there for a long time, not only did the shopkeeper not come, but a few waiters kept hanging around in front of him, so he could no longer sit still.

"Where's your boss? If you don't come, I'm going to smash the store."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ling Chuan walking towards him slowly.

With Ling Chuan's handsome appearance and elegant temperament, Zhao Youtang immediately determined that this guy seduced Tao Ran.

He squinted his eyes and looked Ling Chuan up and down: "Are you the owner of this shop?"

"No." Ling Chuan raised his chin and said, "I am the owner of this shop."

Ling Chuan's attitude was clearly provocative. Zhao Youtang came here to cause trouble, so he couldn't stand this. However, he still had some rationality left.

"So, it was you who invited Miss Tao Ran to sing here a few days ago?"

Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "So that's what happened. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with inviting a prostitute to sing for the opening of my shop."

As he spoke, he moved closer: "Could it be that Miss Tao Ran is your lover?"

This sentence was truly heartbreaking. Zhao Youtang had never been provoked like this before. Based on his temper three years ago, he would have taken action now.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If there is someone who can support you, find him now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Although he was provocative, Ling Chuan didn't want to suffer a loss, so he took a step back and said, "Then how do you want to be rude?"

Zhao Youtang couldn't bear it any longer and laughed grimly: "Smash it for me."

At his command, the four followers immediately took action, smashing the coffee table, chairs and other objects. The glass panel in the middle was the first to be damaged, shattering all over the floor with a clanging sound.

Xia Miao and the others wanted to step forward to stop them, but Ling Chuan waved his hand to stop them: "Let him smash it. Whatever he smashes, he will pay for it at the price."

Yun Fu Ji's business was already good, with the counter at the door crowded with customers buying snacks. They were startled when they heard the noise and gathered around to watch.

Soon, even the shopkeeper in the next shop heard the noise and came over.

"Manager Wang, didn't Manager Li say that the owner of this shop has a strong background? How could someone dare to come and smash the shop?"

Shopkeeper Wang was looking inside. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at Shopkeeper Xu and pointed inside the shop. "Look, that guy inside is none other than the second son of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, Mr. Zhao. Do you think his background is good enough?"

Shopkeeper Xu was shocked: "It's true, there is always a mountain higher than the other."

Zhao Youtang smashed the store just to vent his anger, but Ling Chuan acted calm and just stood aside with his arms folded watching, not even trying to stop him, which made him even angrier.

"Smash it, smash it, smash the whole shop for me."

The four followers were not idle either, smashing everything along the way. In addition to the glass panels, they also smashed the tables, chairs, benches, and decorative ornaments in the shop. They smashed everything from the inside out. The tables and stoves for making snacks, as well as the counter for selling snacks, were all hit.

As the shop was smashed and looted, it was no longer possible to stay in it, so Lingchuan and others simply retreated to the street.

Zhao Youtang followed him out, looking at Ling Chuan with a sneer, "I'm telling you, if you know what's best for you, get out of the capital right away, or else it won't be the shop that gets smashed next time."

At this moment, a large group of people rushed in from the door, led by Song Xianzu, the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Bingmasi.

As the commander of the Military Department, Song Xianzu did not need to patrol. However, when he heard his men report that the second son of the Yongning Earl had been beaten, he was horrified. That young man was a troublemaker. If he was beaten in his own territory, would he still be able to serve as the commander of the Military Department?

In order to sit firmly in this position, Song Xianzu personally brought soldiers over.
