Chapter 106 - 106: Too Hard
Seeing Yuan Chen clench his fists tightly and clench his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds, and his handsome face covered in a thick layer of powder as he shook off the powder, if it wasn’t for Xiao Baoxin’s martial strength, he probably would have come up and risked his life.
Before he broke off the engagement, he, Yuan Chen, was a talented scholar in Jiankang City. He was young and elegant, and was pursued by many young ladies. Now, everyone knew that his relationship with men was messy. He was still talented, but he was far from being as popular as his private life. His reputation was notorious.
In addition, Zhou Weiniang had stood up for him and poisoned Xiao Baoxin to death. In the end, she had accidentally injured his own little sister. He could not remove the reputation of being a troublemaker. He was so tired that it was difficult for him to talk about marriage now. The moment Madam Yin opened her mouth to probe, she was immediately pushed back. Those who were kind would only say that their families were already discussing it, while those who were not would mock and ridicule them. It was fine for other people’s young ladies to guard their women, but it was impossible to guard against your family’s men and women.
It was just breaking off the engagement with Xiao Baoxin, but in the end, he couldn’t even talk about the marriage.
He was no longer a relative of the Zhou family, and the whole family treated him like a ferocious beast. The Zhou family was on the side of their own family. The Zhou family had determined that he had seduced and lured Zhou Weiniang. Otherwise, a dignified and prudent little miss would not have killed someone for no reason. From his words, they even suspected that he had instigated Zhou Weiniang…
In short, Zhou Weiniang had all sorts of excuses, but he had all sorts of schemes.
The selection of officials in Daliang was still based on the previous dynasty’s nine-grade official system. Each state and county had a major official, who was reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs according to the nine grades. The Ministry of Civil Affairs selected officials according to the recommended grades of the major official.
He was now sixteen years old, not yet of the age to be an official. He was not in a hurry. All these years, he had wanted to create some fame and lay the foundation for becoming an official in the future. Who knew that there would be so many scandals and his reputation would be ruined.
Zhou Siniang’s father was originally the Chancellor and was highly respected. Many important officials in the court were his children.
At that time, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs was Wang Tong, the head of the Wang family. He was the uncle of Wang Shiqi, who had a good relationship with him in the past.
In the past, Wang Shiqi was his helper, but now that their disgraceful relationship had been exposed, Wang Shiqi’s leg had been broken and he had been locked up in his home. Until now, he had never seen it on the market. It was obvious what the Wang family meant.
He had paved a bright path for himself, thinking that once he turned eighteen, he would soar into the sky.
He hadn’t even flown for half a day when Xiao Baoxin broke him!
How could he not hate her?
Every night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He wished he could rip her bones apart and suck her dry!
Now that the enemies have met, their eyes are red with envy–
“What do you want to do? Do you want to fight?” Mei Hengdao immediately went forward to block Xiao Baoxin.
She naturally knew that her wife had martial arts, so she wouldn’t be unable to defeat a weak chicken. However, if they were to fight, she would naturally be the one to do such a rough job.
When he saw the plum blossom, Yuan Chen’s arm subconsciously ached. It was this cheap servant who dislocated his arm last time!
Yuan Chen was furious but did not dare to step forward. He lowered his voice and said hatefully,”Xiao Baoxin, are you done? My reputation has been ruined by you. What else do you want?”
“What are you-”
“Who is it?” “You met your old flame?””As he spoke, a fat man walked out from inside.
Her body was wider than the four of them combined, and she trembled as she walked. Her facial features were beautiful, but when the flesh on her face squeezed, it was unsightly.
Xiao Baoxin:
Wasn’t Yuan Chen trying too hard?
From the moment the man spoke, Yuan Chen could tell from his restrained expression that this man was someone he could use and didn’t dare to offend. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly stopped and retracted his aura completely. He respectfully gave up his seat.
This man looked to be in his twenties and was dressed in luxurious clothes. Thinking about his size, it was difficult for Xiao Baoxin to guess who he was. The only person who could be fatter than the Wang family’s Liu Lang and held a high position was King Huaiyang, Song Zhiyuan.
The Prince of Huaiyang lost his mother when he was young and was raised by the Empress Dowager. Although he and Emperor Yuheng were half-brothers, they had a very close relationship and were very filial to the Empress Dowager. Every three to five days, he would go to the Empress Dowager’s place and gather anything good in front of the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Yuheng was a suspicious person. He kept an eye on his uncles and nephews, but he was very assured of his younger brother. After he ascended the throne, he had been promoted year after year. He was only twenty-one years old now, but he was already a servant and a supervisor. He was in charge of the palace and was one of the nine ministers.
If he told them all the official positions he had, it would probably be dark.
It was just catching a little thing, how could he not have met Yuan Chen, and now there was also the Prince of Huaiyang?
Do you have to be so sad? Why did she always have to make a fuss whenever she had any thoughts?
“Lady Xiao?” Prince Huaiyang had obviously seen her before. After staring at her for a long time, he finally recognized her. Then, he looked at Yuan Chen, as if to say,’What’s going on between the two of you?’
“Why do you have so much free time to look for…Chaoyu?” He looked at Xiao Baoxin with a smile and felt that Xiao Baoxin in men’s clothes had a different style. She looked much more refreshing and pleasant than Yuan Chen, who was wearing a thick layer of powder.
As expected of the number one beauty in Jiankang City, heavy makeup and light makeup were always suitable.
“We already have nothing to do with each other.”Yuan Chen said angrily.
He was calling her a dog, but the problem was that even dogs would find you messy.
“Young Master Yuan is thinking too much. 1 came here to look for my younger brother. It was just a coincidence.”
“What a coincidence!” Yuan Chen sneered.
Nonsense, if it wasn’t such a coincidence, would he have caught your f * ck again? She could block the show again, but did she have the right to do so? It was a typical case of thinking too much and thinking that everyone wanted to harm him.
“Eldest Lady is here to look for Boshu, right? Boshu was indeed supposed to come here to practice martial arts, but he hasn’t arrived yet. I wonder what delayed him on the way?”
The door of the second to last room was suddenly pushed open. Yang Shao strode over and spoke to help.
When he saw the Prince of Huaiyang, he was stunned for a moment. This was his superior. He was under the control of the Prince of Huaiyang, and the Prince of Huaiyang was under the control of the Emperor.
When he saw Yuan Chen standing at the side, he understood what was going on. His stomach suddenly felt disgusted and he almost vomited on the spot. The Prince of Huaiyang looked like a dog on normal days, but it turned out that he also liked this kind of thing. Fortunately, Yuan Chen had gotten a place.
Really… You can’t judge a book by its cover.
Greetings, Eleventh King.”
The King of Huaiyang recognized Yang Shao. The news of the man who defeated three generals in the palace had spread. He was often seen in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.”! see.”
There was no need to say anything. Everyone knew.
“Your Majesty, you have misunderstood that Lady Xiao’s younger brother wishes to take this humble servant as his master, so he comes to this humble servant’s house to practice martial arts every two days.”Yang Shao explained..
