"Snapped……"

"Clap clap clap..."

The sounds of kicking, stomping, slapping...

A maidservant pressed down on Qin Siyan's outstretched hand that was reaching for the princess, and pulled it back.

Jiang Miaomiao only heard a "click".

Peeking through his fingers.

Oh dear! That hand is probably beyond saving.

Then another maidservant rushed over and kicked the man hard in the leg.

The man immediately fell to his knees and sprawled on the ground, landing face-first in the dirt.

Before anyone could react, Jiang Zifeng rushed over and kicked the man far away with a lightning-fast kick, followed by a few more kicks.

After beating the person up, he ran back to hug his younger sister.

"Help...help..." Qin Siyan groaned in pain as he lay on the ground.

He only regretted not bringing his servant with him, which was why he was ambushed by these people.

If it weren't for that brat, he would have already won the heart of the beauty.

So close, just a tiny bit more!

At that moment, he only felt pain in his head, hands, and whole body.

My chest hurts, it feels like it's being stabbed with a knife.

Jiang Qiao'er and Princess Rong'an stared in disbelief.

Then, mustering their courage, they walked hand in hand to Qin Siyan's side and kicked him hard.

He kicked it, but still felt unsatisfied.

He raised his foot again and, with all his might, kicked several more times, getting more and more excited with each kick.

Jiang Qiao'er, in particular, kicked him so hard her feet hurt, but she still wasn't satisfied.

She unleashed all the pent-up grievances she had suffered over the years on this lecherous man.

So, when Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu arrived...

Then they saw a pretty young woman, lifting her skirt and kicking Qin Siyan hard in the face and body, muttering, "I'll make you marry me, I'll make you ruin my reputation, I'll make you bully me... I'll kick you to death..."

Qin Siyan was beaten black and blue.

Right now, not only does my body hurt, but my whole face hurts, and my ears are ringing.

Unconcious.

Princess Rong'an pulled Qiao'er aside. She wasn't afraid of kicking the lecherous man to death, but she was afraid that Qiao'er would hurt her foot.

They were too weak; their kicks were just tickling. It should be Feng Ge'er who did the kicking. She had just seen Feng Ge'er kick the man, and he vomited blood.

It seems he has suffered internal injuries.

Nestled in her older brother's arms, Jiang Miaomiao saw Sister Yuan looking at her older brother with an expression of adoration.

But her older brother was only focused on comforting her.

What a slow-witted young man!

Jiang Ziyan looked at Qiao'er, his brows twitching.

Thinking to myself, my sister must have inherited Aunt Xiuxiu's true skills.

Looking at the person on the ground, he went up and kicked them several more times.

Sun Yanshu stared blankly at Jiang Qiao'er, his ears inexplicably turning red.

No one knew what he was thinking.

I used to think this girl was just pretty, but now I see she's not only beautiful, she's also incredibly brave.

He disregarded his own reputation to protect Princess Rong'an; his chivalrous heart is truly admirable.

After dealing with the spies at the door, Xiuxiu came in and got angry as soon as she saw them. She went up and kicked them a few more times.

Fearing that someone might die, Jiang Ziyan and Jiang Zifeng quickly pulled her away.

Manager Jin came over, took a look, and kicked Qin Siyan a couple more times. Then he ordered his servant to take Qin Siyan directly to the government office.

The charge was that this scoundrel had offended Princess Rong'an and was extremely disrespectful to her.

A large crowd had gathered at the entrance of Yipinju Restaurant, discussing the matter animatedly.

One pass to ten, ten to a hundred...

The news spread throughout Jiangzhou City.

The Qin family was a prominent and influential family in Jiangzhou, and apart from Qin Liulang's fondness for brothels, their reputation was always very good.

Qin Tongpan, a former prefect, was portrayed as someone who loved the people like his own children.

Whenever there was a natural disaster, the women of the Qin family were the most diligent in distributing porridge, and the beggars and children in the city would spread songs praising them.

The collapse of the Qin family's house shocked the entire city.

Not only teahouses and restaurants, but even vendors from the streets and alleys gathered together to chat...

"Have you heard? Qin Liulang offended Princess Rong'an and had his hand broken by her guards."

"Offending is an understatement. I heard he harassed the princess and got beaten to a pulp."

"If the Qin family is known for its strict family discipline, how could they produce such a dissolute son? He has utterly disgraced the family!"

An insider retorted, "What's so strict about that? Do you know that Qin Liulang is a lecherous man? He's taken in many beautiful concubines, but many of them have either fallen ill or died, and he's secretly taken away many of them..."

Everyone covered their mouths in surprise, their eyes wide. "How is that possible? You can't just make things up like that, or you'll get into trouble with the authorities."

Suddenly, someone appeared from behind, saying with absolute certainty, "It's no exaggeration. It's all over Jiangzhou City. And that's not all. I heard that Qin Liulang's father also kept a mistress, and that mistress's child is already ten years old..."

The man paused, then continued, "However, it seems that the mistress died of illness, leaving behind a child who was brought back to the manor..."

Another person chimed in, "And what else? Qin Liulang's deceased wife, I heard, accidentally fell into the water and drowned... Think about it, which lady of a prominent family isn't surrounded by servants? How could she possibly end up drowning?"

"Indeed, it's likely that Qin Liulang favored his concubine over his wife, and the two women fought over him, leading to Qin Liulang's assassination. On the day his wife passed away, one of them was even secretly carried out..."

A peddler chimed in, "No wonder. I once saw it when I passed by the back door of his house. The Qin family servants were carrying sacks out. It must be piled high with burial mounds..."

A man carrying a teapot passed by, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but chime in.

"Didn't Qin Liulang take the third daughter of the Zhang family as a concubine a few days ago? They were originally engaged, so guess how he managed to marry her?"

Everyone stared at him eagerly, asking, "How did you manage to marry him?"

The idler lowered his voice and leaned closer to the crowd, "I dare not say, but today's performance was probably just a repeat of the old trick, only it failed and was exposed..."

Everyone understood what he meant.

There was an uproar.

Madam Qin sat upright in the carriage, listening to the discussions of the people outside. All along the way, they were talking about the heroic deeds of her Qin family.

It was like being struck by lightning; I was so angry I almost fainted.

Seeing is believing, and she didn't believe those people would dare to beat her son or send him to the authorities.

Wasn't my son supposed to be looking for Jiang Qiao'er? Why did he go back and provoke Princess Rong'an?

There must be some misunderstanding here.

He said to the old woman who was serving him, "Go to Yipinju and send a few people over to take a look first."

The streets were teeming with pedestrians, and nine out of ten of them were talking about Qin Liulang and the Qin family.

Qi Caiwei was speechless with astonishment.

Looking at Madam Qin, she was usually arrogant and looked down on people. She boasted about how good her husband was in front of others every day, which made the wives of officials and noblewomen quite envious and jealous.

Looking back now, it all seems like a joke.

She wanted to laugh but didn't dare, yet the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

After thinking about it, she realized she should offer some words of comfort.

She took Madam Qin's arm and said, "Sister, don't worry. Don't take rumors seriously. Just send someone to arrest all those barbarian hordes..."

"Easier said than done!" Madam Qin said irritably.

She was a shrewd woman; how could she not see that this woman was making sarcastic remarks?

Judging from the barely concealed amusement in her eyes, it was clear that this woman was secretly mocking her.

Little did anyone know that Qi Caiwei would still try to show off her skills in front of Lu Ban, saying, "Sister Wang, this matter must be related to Lu Qingyao. Perhaps she is the one who had your son beaten. The princess is just an excuse."

When I went out this morning, there was only one carriage and no servants around. Where did this princess come from?

Madam Qin saw that Qi Caiwei was still taking a jab at her nemesis, completely unconcerned about Liu Lang's injuries.

After thinking about it, I suddenly realized.

Qi Shi was trying to matchmake Liu Lang and Jiang Qiao'er, and she was also trying to persuade him to take over Lu Shi's business.

He figured they were using her as a pawn.

Also, didn't the Qi family send people to keep watch? Why haven't those people shown up yet? Shouldn't they have reported it immediately?

Madam Qin turned to look at Qi Caiwei, "Where are the people you sent to keep watch? Don't you know that the princess is just an excuse? I'd like to ask you, what exactly were you planning when you summoned my son to Yipinju?"

Qi Caiwei was speechless, staring at her in surprise.

The old woman's temper changes so quickly, like turning the pages of a book; she even blames her son for being a good-for-nothing.

Simply ridiculous!

He withdrew his hand and said awkwardly, "Madam Qin, you can't blame me for this. I only told your son Jiang Qiao'er whereabouts. He has legs, and as for how he offended the princess, how would I know?"

If we've truly offended Princess Rong'an...

Without a doubt, it must have been that playboy's old habits kicking in. He didn't recognize the princess, and seeing how beautiful she was, he went up to flirt with her, only to end up losing more than he gained.

How can you blame her for this?

joke!

Mei Gu listened from outside the carriage, completely bewildered. Weren't these two just fine before? Why are they arguing?

She had advised her master not to make a move on Madam Qin.

This woman has clearly eaten more salt than rice; she's really made a mess of things...

He couldn't help but worry about his master.

Madam Qin gripped her handkerchief tightly, wanting nothing more than to slap him across the face.

"Qi, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Liu Lang's page told me everything. It was you who persuaded my son to go to Qing Shi Town and told him that the Jiang family had a beautiful young lady. That's why Liu Lang went to see her."

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that things have turned out like this, I suddenly feel that this illegitimate daughter is extremely hateful.

Sure enough, none of the children raised by that concubine were of good quality.

Upon hearing this, Qi Caiwei's anger flared up for no reason, and she retorted without backing down, "So what if it is? Who said they wanted to make money? What's wrong with Jiang Qiao'er? She didn't want to marry your son, what could I do? Now that things haven't gone smoothly, she's blaming me! Madam Qin, tell me, what kind of logic is this?"

Mei Gu was at her wits' end and quickly reminded her, "Madam, we've arrived at the pastry shop. Weren't you going to buy peach blossom pastries for the Third Miss?"

"I'll buy it another day."

Qi Caiwei was furious and wouldn't listen to Aunt Mei's advice.

These days, he has gone to great lengths to persuade Madam Qin to deal with Lu Qingyao, and has been acting subserviently in front of her.

I've put up with this old woman for a long time.

All this was to make her seize Lu's business, bankrupt Lu Qingyao, and leave her with no chance of ever returning to the capital.

Now that things have fallen apart, she doesn't want to be treated coldly.

Even if it's not for a steamed bun, it's for pride.

"Madam Qin, I must have something to say to you. It's true that I led your son to Qing Shi Town, but look at what's going on in your Jiang family's backyard. Jiang Qiao'er would rather be a nun than marry him, and he even flirted with the princess... Is that my fault? Don't you know what kind of person your son is and how outrageous he is?"

The speaker was quite forthcoming, while the listener's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Qi Caiwei was unaware that although she had gotten away with her words, the consequences were something she hadn't considered.

After all, she had been swaggering around in front of Lu Qingyao for many years, and that woman couldn't do anything to her.

Moreover, this is Madam Qin, whose reputation is already tarnished.

Caught off guard, Madam Qin slapped her hard across the face.

Qi Caiwei felt dizzy and lightheaded from the smoking.

He had the maid hold her down, then grabbed her hair and slapped her hard across the face, one hard slap on the left and one hard slap on the right.

She hit him while cursing, "You little bitch, you've got some nerve, daring to talk to me like that! You really think you're Madam Jiang? You're just a discarded wife, not even as good as Lu Qingyao, yet you keep calling me your good husband. Who knows, Jiang Yunze is already surrounded by women in the capital. Today I'll show you the consequences of using me as a pawn..."

She had nowhere to vent her anger right now, so she took it out on this little bitch.

She was a daughter of the Wang family. Others might fear Qi Caiwei's father, Minister Qi, but she wasn't.

When faced with the interests of the family, what can even the most beloved concubine's daughter do? She will still be sacrificed if necessary.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared in Jiangzhou.

Mei Gu heard her master let out a wail from inside the carriage and realized something was wrong.

He tried to call for help, but was suddenly restrained by a group of guards.

They could only watch helplessly as their master was thrown off the carriage and beaten black and blue.

Qi Caiwei covered her face and wept bitterly. She had never been beaten like this and thrown off a carriage in her entire life.

What a disgrace.

"Waaah... Aunt Mei, write a letter to my husband, tell my father, that Wang Guifen bullied me, she almost beat me to death, and I almost never saw them again..."

Wang Guifen was the maiden name of Madam Qin, and her cousin was the favored Consort Li.

Madam Qin is a ruthless character who values ​​her reputation highly; she wouldn't normally be so blatant in hitting people.

They must be furious today.

Mei Gu quickly told the servant to go back and drive the carriage, while she wrapped Qi Caiwei up in a cloak, head and body.

They hid under a big tree by the roadside.

There are too many people on the streets today, and Madam Qin is a prominent figure. If others see that it is their own mistress who has been beaten and thrown off the carriage, who knows what kind of rumors will spread!

Madam Qin felt much better after hitting the person and hurriedly arrived at the entrance of Yipinju.

A servant came to report: "Madam, the Sixth Young Master has been sent to the government office, and his fate is unknown..."

The servant didn't dare to continue speaking.

The news has spread far and wide; it seems the Sixth Young Master has been crippled.

Madam Qin felt dizzy and clutched her chest for a long while before recovering. She asked, "What about Princess Rong'an? How is she?"

If there was one family in Jiangzhou that she envied, was jealous of, and hated, but dared not touch, it was the Cui family.

Grand Tutor Cui's advice could make the emperor lose his appetite for several days, yet he dared not do anything to him.

The influence of the imperial tutor on the emperor should not be underestimated.

There were also his three sons, especially his eldest son, who was not only a Hanlin scholar but also a confidant of the emperor.

Who dares to offend them?

The servant replied, "The princess has been sent back. It's said that the young lady is young and was... was frightened by our young master. She cried all the way back..."

The young master is completely bewitched.

Princess Rong'an is only thirteen or fourteen years old, how could the young master have taken a liking to her?

It's good enough that I wasn't stabbed through the chest with a sword.

Madam Qin's brows were furrowed so deeply that she couldn't even care about her son.

Heading straight for the Cui family...
