After Xia Wan'er left, everyone felt sorry for Hu Huanxi and scolded the second young lady of the Xia family for her arrogance and domineering behavior.
However, Hu Huanxi lowered her head and walked into the charity home with tears in her eyes.
At the same time, Xia Wan'er left in a carriage.
The maid smiled and said, "Everyone says that the eldest daughter of the Hu family is so powerful, but it seems to me that they are all empty talk. After being frightened by the second daughter, she dared not even say a word. Look at her cowardly appearance, and she still dreams of marrying the prince."
Xia Wan'er was really desperate this time, but she had no other choice. If she didn't dissuade Hu Huanxi from wanting to climb up the social ladder, it would be troublesome if the prince was tempted.
Although what happened today has damaged her image, she will never have any contact with these lower-class people in the future, so why bother about what they think
She said in hatred, "I won't let anyone block my path to becoming the Crown Princess. If it happens again, I will make sure Hu Huanxi's legs are broken in front of me."
This was the only dream of her life, and she had paid too much for it. The Empress Dowager had delayed issuing an edict, resulting in the Empress not being able to set a date even though she had granted the marriage. She was anxious, and even though she had been comforting herself, she knew that there were too many unexpected events in this matter. What she had to do now was to eliminate these potential dangers one by one.
Especially, for a merchant daughter like Hu Huanxi, don't even think about taking away everything from her.
"Second Miss, there is an overturned carriage ahead and we can't pass." The coachman said as he lifted the curtain.
Xia Wan'er took a look and saw a carriage overturned on the ground in front of her, blocking the way.
"Let's change the route." Xia Wan'er said.
"Okay, I'll change the route." The coachman grabbed the reins and drove the carriage to the right. There was a narrow road here that could only accommodate one carriage.
I had just walked halfway along the road when I stopped again.
Xia Wan'er opened the curtain unhappily, "What's going on?"
In front of the carriage, there were several young men standing, and in front of them was another person, who was Hu Huanxi, whom she had just beaten.
She was now standing in front of the carriage with her arms folded across her chest. The expression on her face was no longer as aggrieved and cowardly as before. On the contrary, she looked a bit ruffian.
"It's you?" Xia Wan'er sneered, got off the carriage, and walked in front of Hu Huanxi. "Why? Didn't you think I didn't beat you enough just now?"
Hu Huanxi showed an evil smile on his face, and suddenly kicked her in the lower abdomen, followed by a punch. Xia Wan'er let out a miserable scream.
Xia Wan'er couldn't believe that Hu Huanxi, who had been so timid just now, suddenly turned into a vicious devil. She stretched out her hands to block, but Hu Huanxi's punches were so fierce and dense that she was knocked to the ground after three or four punches.
The coachman and the maid rushed forward, but were separated by the people brought by Hu Huanxi. The leader said, "We have our own grievances and debts. We will only hit Xia Wan'er. People who are not involved should step away to avoid accidental injuries."
Seeing this, the coachman and the maid were so frightened that they dared not go near.
At some point, the intersection was filled with vendors selling tung oil. They sat and talked, blocking the entrance. They were talking peacefully, but suddenly they started quarreling, and it was a very fierce quarrel. They even pushed and shoved each other, and the noise covered up the sounds of fistfighting coming from deeper in the alley.
"The most terrifying thing about being a human being is taking yourself too seriously. Xia Wan'er, remember this lesson. If you don't die in the future, it will be because of the life principles I taught you today." After the beating, Hu Huanxi rubbed his fist and said coldly.
Xia Wan'er lost a tooth and spat out a mouthful of blood. She barely stood up and stared at Hu Huanxi angrily, "I won't let you go. Just wait."
Hu Huanxi straightened her clothes, smoothed her hair, and said, "Whatever!"
After saying that, he led his men into a residential building next to the alley and left directly through another door of the building.
The maid and the coachman then dared to step forward and help Xia Wan'er up. Xia Wan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go and report to the police."
"Call the police?" The maid was startled. "Is it going to get out of hand? Why not just go back to the Madam and gather a few people to beat her up?"
"No," Xia Wan'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said coldly, "If she hurts the daughter of the prime minister and the future crown princess, she, Hu Huanxi, will be dead."
The driver said, "She will have to spend at least three to five years in jail."
Xia Wan'er went directly to the Ministry of Justice to report the case instead of going to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
She is the daughter of the prime minister and the future crown princess. She believes that only the Ministry of Justice can try her case.
The Ministry of Justice was originally going to send the case back to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen, as the Ministry would not handle such cases of fighting. However, it suddenly received a letter from the Regent, asking him to try the case and make a big deal out of it.
The Minister of Justice knew that when it came to matters in the Prime Minister's family, it was sometimes impossible to make a small matter out of nothing.
"Hu Huanxi was too ruthless. Look at Xia Wan'er's face, it's so interesting." After delivering the letter, Su Qing returned to Juxianju Restaurant. This was Hu Huanxi's property, no, the Hu family's. They ordered a large table of dishes, most of which were ordered by Xiao Tuo and Su Qing. They had a really good time just now, so they had to have a good meal.
If I hadn't watched the second scene, I would have felt so angry that I had no place to vent. After watching the second scene, I felt that Hu Huanxi's methods were no less than Xia Zian's.
Thinking back to the way Xia Zian had killed Afa in the palace, it was so cruel. Afa was dead with just one move, and she didn't even blink an eye.
Murong Jie drank tea, "It seems that Zi'an knows Xia Wan'er very well. He knows that she will report to the authorities. Once the report is made, the matter will spread from the official to the public. Let's wait and see the reaction in the palace. The Hu family should also come out to do something."
Xiao Tuo scratched his head. "Why does Xia Zian always go around in circles when doing things? It's so annoying."
Su Qing said coldly: "What do you know, you blockhead? Your head is full of grass, how can you know how ingenious this design is? If you make a scene at this critical moment, everyone will think that the second daughter of the Xiangfu is ignorant, and will also think that the Xiangfu is ignorant. In addition, it can divert most people's attention."
"Location!" Xiao Tuo suddenly slammed the table and said angrily.
"What location?" Su Qing was puzzled.
"The place for the duel, Su Qing, it's either you or me." Xiao Tuo suddenly exploded. It wasn't suddenly, but he really had been enduring for too long today.
Murong Jie stood up and said, "Whoever loses will pay the bill. I am leaving now."
Check out? Isn't this a public expense? This is expensive.
"No, we won't fight. How can we fight each other when we're brothers?" The two men followed Murong Jie out, arm in arm, talking with a smile.
"Is that so, brother?" Su Qing asked Xiao Tuo.
Xiao Tuo groaned, touched his pocket, and said expressionlessly, "Yes, brother."
Murong Jie hummed, "Okay, then you brothers should pay the bill together, half each."
Murong Jie walked very far away and could still hear the quarrel between Su Qing and Xiao Tuo.
"You ordered the braised pork elbow."
"You're the one who called me Shiso Duck, right?"
"You ordered this crystal soup, right?"
