"Mr. Zhou, two years ago you were still bargaining with the Canal Gang for that little bit of canal transportation fee. Now that you have become a dog of the Eastern Palace after getting close to the Crown Prince, you are biting the Canal Gang. I will knock out your dog teeth today."
Zhou Zhiyuan had not suffered such a loss for a long time, and being humiliated in public was a serious shock to his already inflated heart.
He immediately started to scream like a madman with red eyes, "What are you standing there for? Beat this bitch to death!"
In the past, the Zhou family was just a small civil servant family with no power, and the servants had little sense of existence when they went out. Ever since the eldest daughter was appointed as the Crown Princess, and the eldest son got a lot of lucrative jobs in front of the Crown Prince, the servants also followed suit and felt that they were superior to the common people.
Seeing that someone actually dared to attack Zhou Zhiyuan, a group of servants immediately became excited and wanted to show their presence.
Liu Yue had just gotten rid of his anger and was feeling refreshed. He imagined himself wearing golden armor and looking majestic and impressive.
Suddenly a group of servants rushed up to fight, Liu Yue was a little scared. Damn, are they bullying me because I have poor martial arts skills? It’s no problem to fight the weakling Zhou Zhiyuan alone, but I can’t beat this group of strong men!
Before Liu Yue could figure out a way to escape, Zhuo Yue had already formed a human wall with his men to block Liu Yue behind them, glaring at him and ready to greet the servants.
Liu Yue was feeling touched by everyone's protection behind the human wall. When she looked up, she saw the petty official and several yamen runners preparing to escape in the chaos.
Then he left the heated scene to Zhuo Yue, flew over to block the way of those people, and asked with a smile, "Are you leaving now, sir?"
"The mission has been completed. I have to go back and report. See you, boss!" The clerk forced himself to say a few words.
"Your Excellency, please see clearly that we only complained a few words about the imperial court's notice. Just now, there was a small friction between my Cao Gang and another merchant. We have never been disrespectful to the officials. Your Excellency, do you agree?"
The clerk was not stupid, and nodded quickly, "My brothers and I have seen it clearly. The Cao Gang dared not speak out and had no complaints. The friction with other businesses is not within my jurisdiction, so I left with my brothers first."
After dealing with the petty official, Liu Yue looked back and found that no fighting had occurred. Zhou Zhiyuan and a group of cowardly servants were preparing to return to the capital.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to attack me? When you cry and beg me, just wait, let's go!"
"Tell me who the bitch is, bitch? The leader of the Cao Gang is actually a stunningly beautiful woman?"
Zhou Lanqing didn’t care about Zhou Zhiyuan at all. A slap wouldn’t kill anyone. What was important was that the person who had always wanted to meet the prince was actually a stunningly beautiful woman!
The Zhou Mansion in the afternoon was as quiet as any other house in the capital, except for Zhou Zhiyuan's yard, where intense emotions were surging.
Zhou's father was doing his job in the Hanlin Academy as usual, while Zhou's mother went to a temple outside the city to worship Buddha a few days ago, and the servants were sent away.
Zhou Zhiyuan snorted coldly, "Keep your voice down. You're so anxious to get jealous. Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you? You don't even care about me. I'm your brother!"
Zhou Lanqing kicked a pot of flowers, causing it to fall over, with the dirt and flowers scattered all over the floor. "If the prince is seduced by someone else, and my position is unstable, will you still have a chance to do something? Humph!"
"Sister, you are a rich lady, you have talent, beauty and family background. That bitch may look good, but she is still a lowly person. If she wants to marry a rich man, she has to see if she is qualified. Besides, the prince has always been not interested in women, and he is only served by eunuchs."
Zhou Lanqing was still not satisfied and rushed forward to step on the flowers on the ground. Her embroidered shoes were covered with mud. "As long as I am not married, I will never be a real princess. How can I not be on guard? Brother, you have to help me. Don't allow other women to get close to him, especially beautiful ones! Even the palace maids are not allowed!"
