The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Well, wasn't I a real good fighter today? I pinned that guy to the ground with one hand and he couldn't even get up. But he knew he couldn't win, so he just tickled me. I don't know where he learned that from, he's not manly at all. Next time I'll teach him what a fight between men is like!"

Kang Ge'er said this as he touched his neck and accidentally hurt it, causing him to grimace in pain.

Chu Qinling saw this and pulled his hand off

"Why are you touching it? It's not healed yet."

"Who likes to fight?"

Chu Qinling didn't believe it, even though he knew Kang Ge'er wouldn't lie to him.

“Who likes to read?”

Kang Ge'er asked in return, your brother likes reading the most, he doesn't know what's so interesting about those history books and classics.

Chu Qinling was choked, then suddenly everything became clear to him and he relaxed completely.

He was obsessed with appearances and trapped himself.

He was somewhat happy that he could understand Kang Ge'er and Kang Ge'er also understood him.

"Oh, don't be upset, I don't know you. We are brothers who are in sync. You obviously know that I don't want you to interfere, so you stopped them from coming forward."

This is a tacit understanding between the two brothers that does not need to be said.

"I'm just angry about why you didn't get out of the way. Don't lie to me. I know you have a way to avoid getting hurt."

Chu Qinling looked angry, much more angry than the little adult he had just been.

"If I don't get hurt, what will happen if the Cui family comes to trouble me? I'm also injured now, and they'll point their fingers at my neck and argue with me."

"It's not necessary to do that. I'll let my father make the decision when the time comes..."

"Oh, please don't!"

Kang Ge'er sat up straight and quickly stopped him.

"It's such a small matter. His Majesty is busy with many things. How could he care about us children fighting?"

Chu Qinling was just talking and would never really trouble his father.

However, looking at Kang Ge'er's nonchalant expression, Chu Qinling sighed. This fool really thought it was just a simple fight.

"What do you think of the two brothers from the Cui family?"

The two brothers of the Cui family, Kang Ge'er thought about it.

"The older one is called Cui Ze. He's quite polite, but a bit of a wimp."

Their family is the kindest in the capital. Fourth uncle is also a concubine's son, but he is no different from the one born by my grandmother.

"The little one..."

When Kang Ge'er thought of the wild cat-like boy, his neck felt a dull pain.

"Very bad! He's rude and impolite, but he's a bit more courageous than his brother. He didn't even beg for mercy after I beat him so hard, and he didn't even make a sound. He used all his strength to tickle me."

Kang Ge'er doesn't like either of these two brothers, but in comparison, he prefers dealing with the younger one. If he is not convinced, he will just beat him up.

Cui Ze looked gentle and seemed to have apologized when something happened, but he was angry and upset in his heart.

It feels like punching cotton, so painful!

Kang Ge'er is still too naive, Chu Qinling thought.

But he was not going to give him an explanation. There was no way to explain it without any evidence.

When Chu Qinling arrived at the palace gate, he sent Kang Ge'er away. After Kang Ge'er left, he looked back.

Looking at the departing carriage, Chu Qinling thought to himself, one day, you will be able to do whatever you want without any worries.

On the way back, Kang Ge'er no longer had the cheerful smile on his face.

It's over. I'm going to get scolded when I get home.

He should have held back just now, ah, why did he suddenly become impulsive?

I had clearly thought it through, but once I started, I couldn't stop.

But it feels so good to have a fight, much more enjoyable than bickering.

What kind of official position did that person today say the master of the Cui family held?

Kang Ge'er forgot, but he remembered that the boy he beat up had a sister from the Fourth Prince's house.

This time it's really over. If that kid goes back and complains, he will cause trouble for his family again.

He was fearless just now because he didn't want his brother to think too much.

I have to find an excuse. Kang Ge'er's head started to hurt from thinking about it. He felt a little regretful that he didn't let his younger brother make a move just now. He was so smart that he would definitely be able to think of a way.

When he reached the door, Kang Ge'er sat on the steps and sighed for who knows how many times.

The servants behind him were all laughing in their hearts when they saw their young master like this.

The old lady and the mistress had known about it for a long time and were waiting for him. They also ordered them not to tell their brother.

Kang Ge'er suddenly stood up.

Forget it, he is not afraid of being hurt whether he sticks his head out or hides his head.

But when he thought of his mother, his scalp began to tingle.

Kang Ge'er forgot that he had put back a pager, and had already told his family the whole story with exaggeration.

What awaits him is a trial by three judges.

By the time he discovered it, it was too late. He was already standing in the house.

"My son, let me see how badly you're hurt."

Seeing Kang Ge'er's neck and hands were wrapped up, Mrs. Lu's tears, which she had been holding back for so long, fell like beads.

"Mom, don't cry. I'm fine. I just look serious."

Kang Ge'er was used to comforting his mother, and he knew that his mother would cry.

Seeing that his mother's tears were almost soaking the gauze in his hand, Kang Ge'er changed his hand and took the handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Lu took his hand with a distressed look and quietly opened it a little. When she saw the scratch marks inside, tears began to fall down her face.

"That kid from the Cui family is so cruel. He scratched our Kang Ge'er into this state. I heard that the scar on his neck is even worse. What if the scar doesn't heal?"

As she said this, she hugged Kang Ge'er and scolded Cui Jie a hundred and eighty times.

"And Xuan'er, how dirty is that? Damn it! What kind of child did Madam Cui raise? I'm going to knock on their door tomorrow and demand an explanation from them!"

"All right!"

Song Shengfu stopped Lu from continuing.

"It's just a fight between kids, it's not that serious!"

"Yes, yes, Mother."

Kang Ge'er agreed and he also felt that it was not a big deal.

Song Shengfu pulled Kang Ge'er over and asked him a few questions, and Kang Ge'er told the truth.

Thinking that he would be lectured by his grandmother, Kangger listened with his head hung.

"Well done! Good boy, you have the spirit of your grandfather!"

Song Shengfu clapped her hands on Kang Ge'er's shoulders, and Kang Ge'er raised his head with bright eyes.

"You did well! Next time someone provokes you, fight back. We can't afford to offend the princes, but can we afford to offend others?"

"Brother Kang, remember this!"

Song Shengfu touched Kang Ge'er's head

"An apology is the most meaningless thing in the world. It doesn't mean anything. To be precise, under a certain level of authority, it's worthless. Why did that Cui family kid push you instead of others? If the Sixth Prince was standing there, would he still push you if he knew your identity?"

Kang Ge'er shook his head

"Right! People like them only bully those who are weaker than them. They bully others because they think the bullied ones won't resist. It's just like if you hit a servant of the Cui family, he wouldn't dare to resist. They will find their own sense of existence in the bullied people, and treat such people by beating them back with their fists. Grandmother also doesn't like to reason with others, because people who are reasonable won't deliberately cause trouble."

"But grandma, will this cause trouble for the family? Will someone bully Fourth Uncle outside?"
