Chapter 136 Finding Trouble

Liu Quanren's figure disappeared around the street corner, but the crowd of onlookers did not disperse immediately.

Jiang Huan turned to look at the stall that had been knocked over and the people around her, and her aura softened instantly.

She first nodded to the two guards: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

"It's my duty." The guard bowed slightly and disappeared as silently as he had come.

Jiang Huan then walked up to the stall owner, her voice gentle.

"Auntie, I'm so sorry for disturbing your business just now."

As she spoke, she took out some loose silver from her purse and placed it on the stall.

The stall owner, who had been pale with fright, quickly waved his hand when he saw the loose silver.

"No, no, the stall was just bumped a little, nothing was damaged, it's not worth you paying so much."

"Take it, consider it a way to calm your nerves."

Jiang Huan smiled reassuringly, but her tone left no room for refusal.

Ordinary people already have a hard life, and to have them cause trouble like this by powerful figures makes her furious.

When oxen and horses from a past life meet oxen and horses in this life, it's inevitable that they'll feel a sense of kinship.

"This..." The stall owner was at a loss for what to do.

The surrounding crowd watched the whole thing, and their gazes toward Jiang Huan changed from initial sympathy and worry to admiration and goodwill.

"What a kind-hearted young lady!"

“That spoiled brat deserves to be beaten; he’s used to being arrogant and domineering because of his father.”

“Aunt Zhang, please accept this money. It’s a blessing from a benefactor.”

As Jiang Huan listened to the sounds around her, the corners of her lips under her veil turned up slightly.

They resolved the dispute, comforted the weak, and even gave that spoiled brat a beating.

Although she didn't do it herself, she's still considered herself a hero.

Why do I feel strangely good about it?

Amidst the bustling crowd, a figure sat on the second floor of a nearby teahouse, taking in everything that had just happened on the street.

This person is none other than Liu Shuyao, the legitimate daughter of the current prime minister.

Liu Shuyao has been weak and sensitive to cold since childhood, and she always wraps herself up tightly when going out in late autumn.

When she saw someone forcibly taking a woman, she wanted to go down and help, but seeing that the guards around Jiang Huan were highly skilled, she did not step forward.

The little maid beside her was so excited that her face turned bright red.

"Miss, look, that girl is amazing, and her guards are so impressive. She even paid compensation to the vendor. She's beautiful inside and out."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Liu Shuyao's eyes, and she nodded slightly, acknowledging the little maid's words.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Liu Quanren covered his face and rushed back to his residence in a disheveled state.

"Father, you must stand up for your son!"

Upon seeing the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Quanren burst into tears and threw himself in front of him.

This startled the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites. When he looked up and saw his son's miserable state, he was both shocked and furious.

"Ren'er, what happened to you? Who beat you up like this?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Quanren, with snot and tears streaming down his face, recounted the events that had occurred on the street, embellishing the story.

He said that he had kindly approached the other party to talk to him, but the other party was unreasonable and allowed the evil servant to beat him severely.

"This is outrageous! It's utterly lawless!" Upon hearing this, the official from the Ministry of Rites was so angry that his beard trembled.

He had a son late in life and doted on him. He always treated him like a precious gem, and he never let him suffer the slightest grievance.

She was even more furious when her son told her that the other party's owner was a woman.

“How dare those two lowly guards lay a hand on my son? And that woman, for letting her servant commit violence, her crime is doubled.”

The official in charge of the Ministry of Rites looked at his son's swollen face with heartache. "Ren'er, don't cry. Father will avenge you."

"Someone come here."

The butler rushed in immediately: "What are your orders, sir?"

"Go, gather all the guards that can be mobilized in the manor. I want those who harmed Ren'er to pay the price!"

"Yes, sir." The butler acknowledged the order and hurried away.

The official from the Ministry of Rites personally helped his son up, wiping away the blood from his nose, showing great distress.

"Ren'er, don't worry, Father will definitely bring that vile woman and her wicked servant back."

Upon hearing this, a glint of malice flashed in Liu Quanren's eyes.

“Father, that woman is wearing a veil, but she has a wonderful figure and a sweet voice. I want her.”

"Very well, very well," the official from the Ministry of Rites readily agreed. "Bring him back, and you can do whatever you want with him."

The steward acted swiftly, and in no time at all, he had gathered all the guards in the manor.

The personnel had already assembled, and the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites simply waved his hand.

"Come with me! I will bring that lawless slut to justice today!"

"Yes," the group replied in unison.

They followed behind the Liu family father and son, marching in a grand procession towards the market where Jiang Huan was located.

Jiang Huan calmed the stall owner down, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Huo Lin hasn't come out yet, so he's probably unaware of what happened on the street.

She's probably still choosing books. Maybe she should go take a look too?

Jiang Huan lifted her leg and walked towards the study, but before she reached the entrance, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

"Found her, Father! She's the one who ordered people to beat me!" Liu Quanren shouted, pointing at Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan paused, looking up.

A man in official robes walked at the front, panting, while Liu Quanren lagged behind.

Behind the two were more than a dozen burly guards armed with weapons.

Before Jiang Huan could react, a group of people swarmed around her.

Jiang Huan raised an eyebrow slightly. "After beating the young one, the old one has arrived?"

I must say, that's incredibly fast.

The guards appeared just in time, standing on either side of Jiang Huan.

Their imposing presence made the guards instinctively tense up, hesitant to step forward rashly.

The official in charge of the Ministry of Rites was used to seeing all sorts of things, but he wasn't intimidated by Jiang Huan's display of power.

Even if these two guards were quite skilled in combat, they couldn't fight against four hands.

With so many people on his side, how could he be afraid of a mere woman?

The official from the Ministry of Rites snorted coldly and glared at Jiang Huan: "You vile woman, is it you who ordered your wicked servant to commit violence in the street and seriously injure my son?"

Jiang Huan rolled her eyes. It really was the villain who accused her first.

"Just now, someone tried to pounce on me in broad daylight on the street, swearing rudely. My two guards thought it was some stray dog ​​that had suddenly appeared and was about to bite someone, so in a moment of panic, they..."

As Jiang Huan spoke, she held up her finger and gestured.

"Yes, I only blocked it slightly. Who knew your son's physique was so fragile?"

Jiang Huan winked sarcastically.

"A light block sent you flying two miles; you can't blame me for that."

She shrugged, looking utterly innocent.

Liu Quanren was so angry that he jumped up and down after hearing Jiang Huan's veiled remarks.

"You're spouting nonsense and distorting the truth." He pointed at Jiang Huan, his face flushed red.

The official in charge of the Ministry of Rites was so angry that his vision blurred: "How dare you!"

He had never seen such a shameless woman, who dared to argue so brazenly in front of him.

"Eloquent tongue! Guards, seize this vile woman for me!"
