Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Zhang Tianhai turned his head to look.

Just then, a figure in official robes rushed towards them. Zhang Tianhai regained some of his composure: "Big Brother?"

The visitor was none other than Zhang Tianyuan, the current Minister of Personnel.

He was having a meeting with the Emperor in the Imperial Study with a group of ministers when he heard that his younger brother was causing trouble at the brokerage firm and had brought a lot of thugs with him. He was so angry that he almost died.

After receiving His Majesty's permission, they rushed over as quickly as possible.

He rushed over and, upon hearing the word "Big Brother," immediately flew into a rage: "You bastard, you still remember I'm your big brother!"

Zhang Tianyuan was furious. "You bastard, do you think I'm too comfortable as the Minister of Personnel?"

They actually started a brawl at the brokerage!

I don't want my life!

It's just that the two brothers are quite old now, otherwise he would have slapped them across the face.

Seeing his enraged elder brother, Zhang Tianhai, who had regained his composure, felt a little guilty. But when he saw his son's severed hand, he became furious again: "Brother, you have to avenge Heng'er!"

"What's wrong with Heng'er?"

Zhang Tianyuan frowned slightly. He had always looked down on his nephew, who, like his son Zhang Feng, was a good-for-nothing who couldn't be helped.

"look!"

Zhang Tianhai sadly held onto his son Zhang Heng, raising his severed right hand.

Zhang Tianyuan was immediately shocked: "Who...who did this?!"

"That bastard is the one!"

Zhang Tianhai angrily pointed at Lu Feng. The Minister of Personnel, who had been preoccupied with scolding his younger brother, finally noticed Lu Feng and was immediately startled when he saw Yu Ningyan.

I almost called her "Princess," but thankfully I managed to stop myself.

"Brother, this bastard crippled Heng'er's right hand! He's your nephew, you can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Zhang Tianyuan was furious and looked at Lu Feng: "Lu Feng! You have to give me an explanation for what happened today!"

Seeing Lu Feng identified as the murderer, Zhang Tianyuan was furious.

My son is still lying at home, unable to get out of bed. We've seen countless doctors, but none of them say he can be cured. I'm so damn worried.

My nephew also fell victim to your cruelty!

Can't you, Lu Feng, cause trouble for other people? Why do you have to target my Zhang family and wreak havoc on them?

Faced with Zhang Tianyuan's anger, Lu Feng smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, are you sure you want me to give you an explanation?"

"if not?"

Zhang Tianyuan sneered, "Even if you are an official of the imperial court, causing someone to become disabled without cause is a serious crime! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will definitely impeach you before His Majesty tomorrow!"

Only then did everyone realize that this guy was actually an official.

Lu Feng glanced at Yu Ningyan and shouted, "Fine, Lord Zhang, you can ask me for an explanation. But you'll have to hear what this person next to me has to say first."

Seeing Yu Ningyan come out, Zhang Tianyuan was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a hint of respect, "What does this have to do with you?"

Yu Ningyan's eyes darkened: "This is extremely serious!"

However, she couldn't bring herself to say that someone had touched her butt in front of so many people, so she could only look at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng understood, and looked at Zhang Tianyuan, saying, "Lord Zhang, may I have a word with you?"

"What are you trying to do? Is there something you can't say here?" Zhang Tianyuan frowned.

Lu Feng grinned: "If I say this here, and everyone finds out, your nephew's situation won't just be a broken hand. Are you sure you want me to say it?"

Zhang Tianyuan's eyelids twitched, and he roared as they scattered.

Once the crowd had mostly dispersed, he stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "What exactly happened?"

“Old Zhang, you hold a high position, but your nephew is even bolder. He actually dared to pat this woman’s butt and even smell it. If she investigates this matter, how many members of your Zhang family’s second branch can escape?” Lu Feng said in a low voice.

Zhang Tianyuan's expression immediately became incredibly interesting, his lips trembling with fear: "Y-you, you, you're not lying to me?"

Why would I lie to you? Otherwise, could I cut off one of his hands?

Lu Feng scoffed, "When your son offended me last time, I only sealed his meridians and made him lie in bed for two months. Didn't you see how much the princess was crying just now!"

Zhang Tianyuan swallowed hard. He never expected things to turn out this way. Ren Yu Ningyan had just been assassinated last night, causing panic throughout the capital.

Today, my nephew patted someone's butt, and right here in public.

If Yu Ningyan were to investigate this, Zhang Tianyuan dared not even think about it.

He asked Lu Feng anxiously, "Damn it, what should we do?"

Lu Feng sniffed: "So you're scared now? You're even asking me for an explanation!"

"I wasn't aware of the situation just now."

Zhang Tianyuan lamented, "How did I end up with such a family!"

"Alright, alright, stop looking like your father just died. I've already satisfied the princess by cutting off your nephew's hand," Lu Feng said disdainfully.

"really?"

"Of course, it's only because I have this ability. If it were someone else, they might have caused some trouble."

Zhang Tianyuan was speechless: "Thank you."

Lu Feng nodded: "Of course, of course. We're colleagues after all. But as the eldest princess of the Western Chu Dynasty, it's not right for your Zhang family not to set an example in this matter, since your nephew has patted her on the backside."

Zhang Tianyuan frowned: "You mean, give me some compensation?"

"clever."

Zhang Tianyuan: "What should we give them?"

He just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be really troublesome if Yu Ningyan pursues it to the end.

"Give me 100,000 taels of silver," Lu Feng said casually.

Zhang Tianyuan cursed, "You fucking robbed me!"

This attracted everyone's attention.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. I was just saying it offhand. 100,000 taels is a bit of an exaggeration, let's say 50,000," Lu Feng said.

Zhang Tianyuan: "Fifty thousand is also an exaggeration."

Lu Feng roared, "That's the reputation of the Princess of Western Chu, Lao Zhang! Besides, I'm her bodyguard now, and your nephew actually molested Her Highness in front of me, making me lose face. My reputation plus the princess's reputation isn't worth 50,000 taels of silver! Are you kidding me! Not to mention your brother put up such a big show, over a hundred people attacking me, I almost died from being beaten to death, do you know that?!"

"Alright, alright, stop reading it. Fifty thousand it is! But let's make it clear first, after the fifty thousand taels of compensation, everything will be wiped clean!" Zhang Tianyuan looked pained.

Lu Feng nodded: "Leave it to me. When are you going to pay me?"

"Send it to your residence tomorrow morning," Zhang Tianyuan said irritably, then turned to scold his younger brother.

Lu Feng walked back satisfied, while Yu Ningyan frowned: "What were you two whispering about for so long?"

“It’s nothing. After all, you suffered a loss, so I asked you for five thousand taels in compensation.”
