Seeing that the Second Prince was covered in grease, Pei Zhi kindly said, "Let me help you wash up."

After saying that, Pei Zhi got up, picked up the water from the basin next to her, and splashed the cold water directly on her face.

The second prince was splashed right on the head; from the day he was born until now, no one had ever dared to treat him like that.

"You bitch, &%."

Before the Second Prince could even finish his curse, Pei Zhi grabbed a towel from the shelf and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Your mouth stinks, you'd better shut up."

The second prince was gesturing wildly, but Pei Zhi was holding him down with a chair, so he couldn't move at all.

Although the Second Prince is a man, he has been neglecting his physical training and is currently unable to break free from Pei Zhi's control.

"I heard you really enjoy hitting people, is that right?"

Pei Zhi glanced around and saw a feather duster on a shelf next to the private room.

It must have been the person who cleaned the room who forgot to take it with them.

Pei Zhi took it and started whipping the Second Prince.

"Does getting beaten feel good?"

"So you'll only attack women who can't even kill a chicken, right?"

Why aren't you yelling? Is it not hurting enough?

The second prince was pouting, unable to make a sound.

The third prince rushed over and knocked on the door.

There was no sound from inside the door. The Third Prince pressed his face against the door and seemed to hear some faint noises.

Could it be that that idiot second brother succeeded?

The Third Prince felt a pang of conscience, but if he barged in and disturbed his Second Brother, he would probably be retaliated against by that fool.

This time, it will be difficult for him to have such a good opportunity again.

The third prince gritted his teeth and summoned his attendant.

"Come on, hit me in the face right now."

The attendant hesitated, "Master, I dare not."

"Just do it when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense? Don't worry, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

The attendants hesitated, not daring to make a move, but the Third Prince roared, "Hurry up, or there won't be any time left!"

The attendant gritted his teeth and punched the Third Prince in the corner of his mouth.

The Third Prince hardened his heart and said, "Let's try again."

The third prince was punched several times in succession and felt dizzy and disoriented before he finally told his attendants to stop.

"You can go down now, leave me here alone."

The third prince dismissed his attendants, letting the blood flow from the corner of his mouth, and then knelt outside the door of the private room.

To create the impression that he had been beaten up.

The Third Prince had to put on a show; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself when the Crown Prince arrived.

When Xiao Chengci heard the servant report that Shang Huai had invited Pei Zhi to meet male prostitutes at the restaurant, he was both angry and amused.

He muttered a curse under his breath, "Shang Huai is crazy," and then Xiao Chengci hurriedly rushed into the restaurant.

Xiao Chengci arrived quickly; the Third Prince had barely knelt down when Xiao Chengci rushed over.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince, the Third Prince greeted him as if he were his savior: "Your Highness."

What are you doing kneeling here?

“My second brother was inside and was going to harm that girl. I went to stop him, but he beat me up. I came back here.”

The third prince also wanted to say that he was of low status and could not stop his second brother.

Xiao Chengci had no interest in listening to the Third Prince's statement and kicked open the door.

Pei Zhi was tired from fighting and had just finished drinking tea. She was tidying up her somewhat disheveled clothes.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chengci disregarded everything, grabbed the Second Prince who was leaning against a pillar, and threw a hard punch at him.

The second prince had barely escaped the clutches of evil, and before he could even rest for a moment, he was violently punched until he was dizzy and disoriented.

Pei Zhi asked curiously, "Xiao Chengci, what are you doing here?"

Hearing Pei Zhi's calm voice, Xiao Chengci turned around and looked her up and down.

Then, Xiao Chengci looked at his second brother, whose collar he was grabbing.

Xiao Chengci disdainfully shook off his hand, "Where did he get all this grease on him?"

He was filthy from head to toe; it was disgusting.

Xiao Chengci shook his hand, and Pei Zhi considerately handed him a wet towel.

"He must have tripped and fallen."

“You…” The Second Prince angrily pointed at Pei Zhi and stood up to argue.

"What else could I do? Couldn't I hit him?" Pei Zhi asked considerately. "Why would I hit him when he's perfectly fine, right?"

"The last one, right?" Pei Zhi said, looking at the Second Prince.

The second prince covered his face; he had already sobered up.

He glanced at Xiao Chengci, then at the woman in the room, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

Xiao Chengci asked in a low voice, "Second brother, tell me, what do you want from my people?"

The second prince shook his head frantically, "It's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding."

The second prince couldn't understand how he had offended the crown prince's woman by simply entering a private room.

What a coincidence!

The second prince suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the third prince.

The Third Prince immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, my Second Brother has harassed women in my restaurant more than once. His behavior is truly despicable."

"As the younger brother, I dare not say more. I can only ask Your Highness to intervene."

The second prince looked at the third prince in shock and anger, and stumbled forward as if to kick him.

Xiao Chengci kicked him to the ground first, "Guards, tie up the Second Prince for me."

The second prince tried to say something, but it was suppressed and silenced.

After the disgusting things were taken away, Xiao Chengci finally took a good look at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you later."

Pei Zhi leaned back in a chair and watched the Third Prince direct and act in his own performance.

Pei Zhi was initially quite curious as to why the Second Prince would enter her private room.

If she remembered correctly, the Second Prince's private room was upstairs.

Even if the Second Prince had drunk too much, he wouldn't have gone to the wrong floor and managed to find her private room without any mistakes.

Seeing the Third Prince like this now, it's truly a brilliant move—using someone else to do the dirty work.

Just as Xiao Chengci was about to say something, Shang Huai walked in from outside.

What happened?

Xiao Chengci saw Shang Huai and was immediately filled with rage.

"Third brother, get out of here first, I'll settle accounts with you later."

The third prince quickly got up from the ground and thoughtfully closed the door for them.

"Shang Huai, where did you just go?"

Hearing Xiao Chengci's questioning tone, Shang Huai was very displeased: "Where I went is none of your business."

"You brought Zhizhi out and left her alone in the room. Do you know that she was almost abused by that beast, the second son?"

Shang Huai quickly looked Pei Zhi up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pei Zhi was unharmed.

"Where is that bastard Second Prince? I'm going to kill him right now."

Xiao Chengci said firmly, "By the time you go and deal with him, it will be too late."

Xiao Chengci sneered, "You brought her out but didn't take good care of her. I think you should never ask Zhizhi out again."

Pei Zhi stood to the side, saying nothing, watching the two men engage in a war of words in front of her.
