Chapter 20 The prince presents a jade pendant!
"Why are you saying that about my mother?" Yu Youning glared at the Yong'an Marquis. "My mother taught me to be trustworthy and to do what I say. What's wrong with that? You're my grandfather, why are you speaking for him?"
"Rebellion!" Marquis Yong'an was filled with anger. He strode towards Yu Youning and reached out to hit Yu Youning.
Yu Youning naturally would not stand there and be beaten obediently, so he immediately dodged.
Chu Huaixu walked forward at this time. He was not very old and not tall, but his aura could not be ignored.
"Marquis Yong'an!" Chu Huaixu said coldly, "Zhai He was the one who broke his promise first. Is this how you usually raise your children?"
Yong'an Hou stopped immediately, realizing that he hadn't noticed the Crown Prince was there. He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am not going back on my word. This was just a joke between children—"
"Is this bet, with me as a witness, just a joke in the eyes of Marquis Yong'an?"
"this--"
Marquis Yong'an was a little surprised and a little flustered. He didn't expect that this matter would implicate the prince.
Why would the prince witness this bet?
And why would he stand on Yu Youning's side?
Could it be that he helps Yu Youning because she and Li'er are both granddaughters of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?
Thinking about it this way, Marquis Yong'an felt that he had uncovered the truth.
After all, Li'er is the future Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince's health and life all depend on Li'er.
It is understandable that the prince would support Yu Youning for Li'er.
The Marquis of Yong'an, who thought he had seen the truth, laughed again. "Your Highness, although Youning, like Li'er, is the granddaughter of an old minister, Youning grew up outside, is uneducated, and is extremely naughty. Your Highness really doesn't need to defend her for Li'er's sake."
Chu Huaixu pursed his lips tightly, his voice even colder than before, "Who told you that I only protected Youning for Lin Ruoli's sake?
I've made it very clear just now. I'm the witness to their bet. Since Zhai Heming has lost, he must fulfill the bet now!"
Upon hearing this, the silent Marquis Chengyi's face darkened to a gloom. He glanced at Zhai Heming angrily, "What are you waiting for? If you lose, just admit it! What's the point of crying like that?"
Zhai Heming's body trembled and his tears fell even harder.
Why didn't his father help him?
Why does everyone want to bully him?
Zhai Heming opened his pair of red eyes and looked at Yu Youning, with a look that seemed to want to eat Yu Youning alive.
Even though Zhai Heming stared at her like that, Yu Youning was not afraid at all.
If you lose the bet, you must accept the loss! No one can refuse to pay!
Zhai Heming bit his cheek, tears streaming down his face, and finally spoke in a bad tone.
"I'm a little piece of shit!"
"I'm a little piece of shit!"
“I’m a piece of shit!
I'm done shouting, are you satisfied now?"
By the end of his speech, Zhai Heming's voice had already cracked.
Yu Youning smiled and nodded, "I'm satisfied! You keep your word, you're a good kid!"
Yu Youning praised sincerely, but Zhai Heming did not appreciate it and was even angrier than before.
In Zhai Heming's opinion, Yu Youning was humiliating him!
Zhai Heming's eyes were red from crying. He stared at Yu Youning, but he clenched his teeth and refused to say another word.
Seeing him like this, Yu Youning showed a relieved expression on her face that didn't belong to her age. "You just said that you would never say a word in front of me again, and now you're starting to implement it. This is great!"
Zhai Heming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into tears again.
Yu Youning is so bad!
Even after all this, you still don't want to let him go!
Marquis Chengyi's expression was even uglier than before, and he glanced at Yu Youning coldly, "My son has fulfilled his bet, so we'll be leaving first. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Marquis Yong'an, goodbye!"
After saying this, Marquis Chengyi turned around and left. Although Zhai Heming was still crying, he did not forget to catch up with him.
Looking at the backs of the father and son as they left, Marquis Yong'an trembled with anger.
Although both families are marquisates, Marquis Hechengyi is a first-class marquis, while Marquis Yongan is only a second-class marquis.
Marquis Chengyi holds real power and is highly valued, unlike him...
Over the years, he has been trying to establish a good relationship with Marquis Chengyi, but there has been no progress.
It was not until Lin Ruoli enrolled in the Imperial College and became closer to Zhai Heming, the son of Marquis Chengyi, that he developed a personal relationship with Marquis Chengyi.
Just when the relationship seemed to be getting better, it's all over now!
Yu Youning humiliated Zhai Heming in such a way, in front of so many people.
Marquis Chengyi did not dare to bear a grudge against the crown prince, nor did he dare to cause trouble for Wei Jiuzhao, and he would not confront the Marquis Zhenbei Mansion at will. He would only vent all his anger on the Marquis Yong'an Mansion.
When he thought of this, Marquis Yong'an felt dizzy and his body swayed.
Yu Youning noticed Yong'an Hou's movements with sharp eyes and looked at him with concern, "Grandfather, what's wrong with you? Are you sleepy?"
Marquis Yong'an had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.
He is not sleepy!
He was about to faint from her anger!
But thinking that the prince would speak up for Yu Youning, Yong'an Hou did not get angry immediately. He just said in a deep voice, "It's getting late. Let's go back to the mansion. Your mother is still waiting for you."
Thinking of his mother, Yu Youning nodded immediately, "Okay, okay! Let's go back home! I want to see my mother too!"
As he spoke, Yu Youning looked at Huo Qingchen, "Do you still want to learn from me?"
Huo Qingchen answered without even thinking, "Of course I have to learn!"
Yu Youning is two or three years younger than him, but she can lift the stone lock a thousand times at a time. He is born with supernatural powers, how could he lose to a little girl like Yu Youning?
"Then practice well!" Yu Youning instructed earnestly, "Five hundred times a day, no more, no less."
"Why not more?" Huo Qingchen asked curiously, "Isn't more better?"
Yu Youning glanced at Huo Qingchen with some disdain. "You're so stupid! Don't you know that more haste makes waste? You didn't become fat overnight! You trained too much at once and injured yourself. Won't you be unable to train in the future?"
Huo Qingchen thought carefully about Yu Youning's words, and finally nodded in agreement. "You make sense! I'll remember it! Five hundred times a day, no more, no less!"
"Okay, then I'll go home to find my mother!"
Yu Youning said this and waved at Huo Qingchen.
Just as he was about to leave, Chu Huaixu stopped him.
"Youning."
Yu Youning looked towards Chu Huaixu, puzzled, "What's going on?"
Chu Huaixu pursed his lips, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
He knew Marquis Yong'an.
Marquis Chengyi is so angry today, Marquis Yongan will definitely blame Yu Youning for this.
Marquis Yong'an didn't say anything now, but it would be hard to say once he returned to the Marquis Yong'an's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Chu Huaixu took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Yu Youning, "This is my token of love. Take it. If you encounter any problems or if someone bullies you, send someone to the palace with the jade pendant to find me."
