A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

On the way back to the manor, Luo Sen and Chen Xiaodong sat together on the seat outside the carriage. Inside the carriage, Qin Suiyou was resting with his eyes closed, while Beitang Yan was tugging at the hem of their clothes, tying them into knots, then untying them, and then tying them into knots again.

As the carriage moved to a street with more pedestrians, Chen Xiaodong gently pulled on the rope to control the speed.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats could be faintly heard from ahead, and the sound grew closer and closer.

Chen Xiaodong frowned, and Luo Sen pursed his lips.

"Unless it's an urgent military report, vehicles and horses are strictly prohibited from speeding through the streets. I wonder who is so bold as to cause trouble?"

Compared to Lawson, Chen Xiaodong, who knew more about Yejing City, had some guesses about this, but since he hadn't seen the person yet, he couldn't make any rash judgments, so he didn't say anything. Although the carriage was located on the side, just in case, he led the horse to move a little further to the side.

But life is unpredictable; no matter how much you try to avoid it, what's meant to happen will happen.

The approaching sound of hooves made Chen Xiaodong uneasy, and the figure that came into view was exactly what he had guessed. He prayed that the two of them would just pass each other by.

Contrary to Chen Xiaodong's wishes, the three horses insisted on riding side by side, causing pedestrians on the street to scramble to avoid them. Many vendors' stalls were overturned. Moreover, the horses on the other side seemed to disregard the fact that there was a carriage on this side and charged over.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Xiaodong watched as the horse, seemingly oblivious to everything, charged straight at the carriage, and the elderly vegetable seller beside him looked nervous. He steeled himself and prepared to lash out with the horsewhip he usually only used for decoration. But before he could even gather his strength, the horse closest to them seemed to be startled, neighing and raising its front hooves high, almost throwing the rider off. Fortunately, the rider was quite skilled at riding, holding the reins tightly and gripping the horse's belly with his legs.

Once the horse had calmed down, he saw that the two people traveling with him had also stopped beside him. The man on horseback dismounted angrily with a ferocious expression, and said in a rather arrogant tone, "Who exactly startled my horse? Step forward now, or no one on this street will be allowed to walk today. Arrest them all, and I don't believe we can't interrogate them!"

After saying that, the group of servants who were running behind him, panting heavily but still acting like thugs, prepared to scatter in all directions, making it clear that they would arrest someone as soon as their master gave the order.

"What happened?"

Inside the carriage, Qin Suiyou calmly asked.

"Across the street, Yang Song, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping, is leading Li Min, the second young master of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and Jin Ding, the eldest young master of the Jinyu Cloth Shop, riding horses in the street. Just now, the second young master of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review's horse was startled and almost fell off. Now he is causing trouble all over the street."

Lawson didn't know much about the three people in front of him, and then said, "Zhengjun, why don't we leave first? They probably won't dare to cause us any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Those three are very troublesome. Besides, things are different now. If they block our way, we can't get through."

As expected, Li Min was difficult to deal with. When no one stepped forward obediently, he walked over aggressively with his nose in the air.

Li Min lashed the axle with his whip and pointed at Chen Xiaodong, saying, "Did you deliberately startle my horse?"

Before Chen Xiaodong could speak, Qin Suiyou's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Young Master Li, what makes you say that? We were just walking along here peacefully, how could we have startled your horse?"

Li Min snorted coldly and said smugly, "You just think that I, the young master, am blocking your way on horseback, so you want to take revenge? What shameful things are you hiding inside here when I, the young master, am here!"

Qin Suiyou remained unmoved and continued calmly, "Since you know you're blocking the way, why do you still insist on having three horses travel abreast? Besides, there's a law in Yejing that says, 'Unless it's an urgent military report, carriages and horses are strictly prohibited from speeding in the streets.' You are the son of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, how can you knowingly break the law?"

At this moment, Yang Song walked over, followed by Jin Ding, who was somewhat timid but whose exceptional roundness prevented him from obscuring much of the object.

"So what you're saying is accusing us of misconduct? Who do you think you are, daring to lecture this young master!"

Seeing that a more powerful backer had arrived, Li Min consciously stepped back half a step to his side and echoed, "What kind of person is he that dares to lecture the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping!"

"I dare not call it a lesson; I am merely stating the facts. Fortunately, the damage caused today is not significant. You can simply compensate the vendors whose stalls were damaged along the street with some silver. In the future, try to avoid riding your horses recklessly in the market. Otherwise, who knows what kind of big trouble you might cause one day, and if that gets back to your elders, I won't need to elaborate on the consequences."

Yang Song seemed unfazed by the threat, arrogantly raising his eyebrows.

"Who are you? How dare you not dismount from your carriage and pay your respects when I, the young master, am here!"

Li Min added, "Anyone who dares to disrespect the Crown Prince is punishable by death!"

Then, the carriage curtain was lifted from the inside, and two figures stepped out.

Thinking that his identity had played a role, Yang Song crossed his arms and waited for his usual humble pleas for mercy.

However, things didn't go as Yang Song expected. Qin Suiyou and Beitang Yan did come out, but they didn't get off the carriage. Chen Xiaodong and Luo Sen gave up their seats and stood on the platform, looking down at the three people below.

Seeing this, Yang Song was about to get angry when he heard Jin Ding, who had been silent all along, say in a low voice, "I think he looks familiar."

Yang Song didn't think much of it. Hearing that the man was familiar to Jin Ding, he assumed he was the son of some merchant. This only made him feel more offended, and he swung his horsewhip at Qin Suiyou's face.

"Snapped!"

The whip didn't strike the spot Yang Song expected; instead, it was caught in the hand of a servant. Enraged, Yang Song tried to pull the whip again, but the servant, disregarding martial ethics, simply let go, causing Yang Song, who had exerted force, to fall heavily to the ground.

Qin Suiyou, who had intended to pull the person next to him away, saw Beitang Yan foolishly reach out and grasp the whip that was being swung at him. When he saw Beitang Yan let go, he immediately grabbed the hand that was holding the whip and looked at it.

After lying there for a long time, the calluses on Beitang Yan's hands had thinned to just a thin layer, and the protective layer was less. At this moment, the shocking whip marks on his palms were already bleeding, which made Qin Suiyou very angry. He couldn't help but glare at Beitang Yan.

It was Jin Ding who belatedly realized as he helped the angry and aching Yang Song to his feet that he said, "He seems to be the legitimate husband of the Prince of An."

These words startled Li Min, who was about to explode, while Yang Song, who was frantically thinking about how to teach those bastards in front of him a lesson, also stopped his screams from the pain.

Having his identity revealed, Qin Suiyou said no more, focusing on healing Beitang Yan as soon as possible. He gave Yang Song a cold look.

“The heir of the Marquis of Xuanping disregarded the law and rode his horse recklessly in the street, damaging stalls, speaking rudely and injuring people. I want to see what crime he can be punished for.”

After saying that, Qin Suiyou pulled Beitang Yan into the carriage.

"Xiaodong, let's go back."
