The man who wanted to buy the tiger was chased away. Only after leaving the Zhao residence did he start cursing.

In terms of background alone, this person is not afraid of the Zhao family.

However, the fact that a princess was living in the Zhao family was infuriating.

The princess, who should be living in the princess palace, insisted on living in a small courtyard, crammed together with a bunch of peasants.

This is something that many people cannot understand.

The man came out cursing loudly, and was overheard by a passerby, who then learned that he had been kicked out for trying to buy a tiger.

These "passersby" were actually servants from various government offices.

Many of the women in the inner quarters have nothing better to do than gossip all day long.

Even if you admire those flowers every day, you'll get tired of them, won't you?

Therefore, gossip from the streets and alleys became their pastime after meals.

If it were a normal person coming to his door saying they wanted to buy a tiger, Zhao Minggeng would never get angry. But this person who came to buy a tiger was really too rude.

The visitor was the heir of the Marquis of Haiping, who lived a dissolute life, relying on the legacy left by his ancestors.

It's impossible for him to inherit the will of his ancestors and take up arms on the battlefield.

This person still holds a grudge against Zhao Minggeng.

If Zhao Minggeng hadn't canceled the tax-free land, his life would be much more comfortable than it is now.

He usually has a playful and teasing personality, and he makes bets with people that if they can buy the tiger from the prince consort's house, those people will have to lose ten thousand taels of silver to him.

If he can't buy the tiger, he'll have to pay those rich playboys' brothel fees for 10 days.

Having drunk some wine, and emboldened by the alcohol, he went to the Zhao residence.

“My lord, let’s not beat around the bush. I heard that a young lady has come to your house, riding a big tiger.”

Today, I, the young master, have come specifically for that giant tiger.

"I, the young master, offer one thousand taels for that tiger. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Zhao Minggeng almost laughed out of exasperation at this idiot.

"No matter what, that tiger belongs to my niece, I have no right to make decisions about it."

Besides, that tiger was raised from a cub, and there's an emotional attachment to it; I would never sell it.

If Your Highness is interested, why not go to the deep mountains and catch one yourself?

"Is the Prince Consort unwilling to sell that tiger because he thinks the money I'm offering isn't enough?"

Then I, the young master, will add another thousand taels. One shouldn't be too greedy.

"It's just a big worm, two thousand taels is more than enough..."

Zhao Minggeng could tell that the young master couldn't understand human speech, and because the other party was too offensive, his words implied that he was very contemptuous of Zhao Qinghe, a young girl, for raising a tiger.

Could Zhao Minggeng tolerate this? Of course not. He was only kicking him out of the mansion because of his father.

This guy thought Zhao Minggeng wouldn't cause trouble, but it turned out he was the one who got dragged out, which was a bit embarrassing.

He was pragmatic enough that he dared not rebel within the Zhao residence.

The guy who came to attack him was obviously a trained fighter; he couldn't beat him.

Therefore, they could only start cursing outside the mansion.

The insults were quite vulgar. He thought that once they were on the street, the Zhao family members certainly wouldn't dare to lay a hand on anyone.

You could say he's stupid, but he knows how to assess the situation; you could also say he's not stupid, but he actually dared to mess with the tiger.

Of course, in his walnut-sized brain, a prince consort was just like a man taking a concubine; who knows, the princess might divorce him one day if she was unhappy.

There is nothing to fear.

However, what he didn't know was that, besides Zhao Minggeng being a princess, the tiger's owner was the younger sister of Princess Rui.

While everyone was talking about this, Zhao Minggeng had already gone to the Marquis of Haiping's residence and insisted on sparring with the Marquis of Haiping in the martial arts arena for half an hour.
