If the Third Prince was a bit hesitant and timid, then the Fourth Prince was just going to do it regardless of the consequences. Therefore, even though he was facing the famous people invited by his father, the little guy was still fearless. After he finished speaking, he even had a righteous attitude.
At this time, seeing that Shanzhang Yue was trying his best to act nonchalant, Zhang Shou laughed and said, "Where did the Fourth Prince hear that someone was expelled from the sect by Shanzhang Yue? The guy you mentioned is still staying in my house, but he didn't say that."
Yue Shanzhang was caught off guard by the questioning of the Fourth Prince, but he could only pretend to be calm. However, when Zhang Shou said this, he finally couldn't help but change color. Zhang Shou actually took Fang Qing in? Why? To pursue him to the end? Or for other reasons
The fourth prince's eyes widened at this time: "He's at the teacher's house? Why didn't Liu Feng tell me?"
Liu Feng, who was standing in a corner of the main hall at this time, was almost mad with anger. Fourth Prince, you are bullying this Yue Shanzhang for no reason, why are you betraying me? I just followed the emperor's order and found out the discussion of Yue Shanzhang's two students from the servants in Yashe, so I knew that Fang Qing, who scolded the third prince, was expelled from Zhaoming Academy, but I didn't know that he was recruited by Zhang Shou!
When Zhang Shou saw the emperor turning his head to look at Liu Feng, and the Qianqing Palace manager wanted to bury his head in the ground, he coughed lightly and said, "Fourth Prince, do you want to know why Fang Qing is in my house?"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince immediately forgot about the trivial matter of betraying Liu Feng, and that he was not the kind of person who would look at the faces of his father's attendants, and nodded quickly, he smiled and told the story of Mr. Song who met Fang Qing when he went out to sell sweet soup with his cart. Of course, he omitted the words that Mr. Song scolded Fang Qing, and only said that because of the friendship between them as fellow townsmen, he picked up the distraught Fang Qing.
Then, he talked about the incident in which Fang Qing mistook a man on the street for a rich family's servant, causing Mr. Song to be chased by a dog all the way, and after returning, they fought in front of him.
When he talked about how Fourth Master Hua brought the terrified rich man Li San'er to his home to apologize, the Fourth Prince was already laughing so hard that he squatted on the ground and pounded Zhang Shou's armrest, completely forgetting what the occasion was.
Although Shanzhang Yue tried his best to keep calm at this time, the actions of Fang Qing and Mr. Song really exceeded the limits of what he could imagine.
Especially when he thought that Fang Qing was the impulsive and reckless person he had accustomed to over the years, he felt his face burning, and he felt that Zhang Shou's taking in Fang Qing could not be a coincidence, but a premeditated plan.
As for the emperor, he was also amused by what Zhang Shou said. Especially when he thought about the foul-mouthed Mr. Song being chased by a dog and running away until his shoes fell off, he felt relieved, as if he had also vented the anger of Princess Yongping.
"These two are really funny... Zhang Shou, you really dare to take in anyone!"
"Mr. Song picked him up because Yingying liked the sweet soup he made, and his identity was exposed. The Song family wanted to kidnap this eccentric guy back, so I had to give him a place to stay. As for Fang Qing..." Zhang Shou shrugged and said casually, "Mr. Song picked him up anyway, so one more person doesn't make much difference. Besides, he earned his board and lodging by himself."
