Zhang Huniu ran over from afar and saw the grandmother and grandson hugging each other, looking extremely pitiful. Her eyes immediately filled with anger.
As a seasoned traveler, she noticed that Shen Jiaojiao was sitting on a stool, surrounded by a group of imposing guards.
Liu Piaopiao, who was wearing purple, was also standing behind her; they were clearly in cahoots!
With her reason returning slightly, when she reached Shen Jiaojiao, she first bowed and inquired, "This humble servant is Zhang Huniu, the wife of Physician Wu. May I ask your name?"
Seeing that the other party was quite polite, Shen Jiaojiao replied, "I am Shen Jiaojiao."
Zhang Huniu's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the Crown Princess?
They've really bitten off more than they can chew!
Her previous anger completely vanished, and she quickly knelt down to pay her respects: "Greetings, Your Highness. My unfilial son has been far too presumptuous. I beg Your Highness to forgive him this time, considering his injuries. I will immediately discipline him severely upon my return!"
Actually, Liu Piaopiao didn't suffer much loss. Shen Jiaojiao glanced at Liu Piaopiao and nodded.
Shen Jiaojiao understood that this was the end of the matter, and she would let him off the hook.
"Madam, please get up. Let it go this time, but if you speak so recklessly again next time, it won't be so easy."
Zhang Huniu readily agreed, "Yes, yes, thank you, Your Highness, for troubling you."
She glanced at Liu Piaopiao and immediately smiled apologetically: "Piaopiao, you were frightened today. Your aunt will prepare a generous gift to apologize to you when you get back. I hope you will forgive my rudeness."
“My Wu Feng is not good enough for you at all. Don’t worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back and I will not bother you again.”
The merchant was indeed eloquent, and his words made Liu Piaopiao feel very comfortable: "No need for such a generous gift, it's fine if we don't see each other again."
Zhang Huniu immediately chimed in, "Don't worry, I'll definitely teach them a good lesson."
"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my unfilial son back first."
After Zhang Huniu finished bowing, she called for servants to help Wu Feng and Grandma Wu back home.
Fearing the two might say something inappropriate, Zhang Huniu simply stuffed a towel into their mouths.
A group of people came in a flurry and left just as quickly.
Liu Piaopiao watched the group disappear quickly into the distance, her eyes filled with envy: "Although Wu Feng isn't a good match, his family is incredibly kind."
"Although his grandmother was a bit of a shrew, her love for him was genuine."
"His mother is the same. If it weren't for your status and position, I don't think I would have gotten away so easily today. His mother even cleaned up his mess. How nice!"
Shen Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at him teasingly: "Please tell me your story."
Liu Piaopiao was just immersed in envy when he suddenly choked up when everyone around him was waiting to see what was going on. Did they have no heart?
"Thank you for today, otherwise I wouldn't know how to refuse this marriage proposal."
Shen Jiaojiao said quietly, "You rejected Wu Feng, but there are thousands of other Wu Fengs waiting for you. I helped you once, but I can't help you many times. You still need to find a safer way."
Liu Piaopiao thought about it and agreed. After a moment's thought, a brilliant idea struck her. She squatted down, grabbed Chen Jiaojiao's hand, and said excitedly, "I should repay your life-saving grace with my body, or else I..."
"No! No! No! I refuse, I'm already married!" Shen Jiaojiao shouted in protest.
Liu Piaopiao continued, "Hey, I haven't finished yet. That's not what I meant. I meant, why don't I just marry His Highness the Crown Prince? We can be sisters!"
The more she thought about it, the better it seemed, and Liu Piaopiao spoke even more enthusiastically: "I also brought a generous dowry, and all of this money will be yours! You know my identity, I pose no threat to you, and I can even help you."
"No way!!! I refuse!!!" Chu Tianling rushed home as soon as he finished his business at the manor, eager to see his precious baby.
Who would have thought that such a passionate heart would hear these words upon returning!
Chu Tianling pulled on the reins, and as soon as the horse stopped, he immediately dismounted and rushed over, snatching Shen Jiaojiao's hand from Liu Piaopiao's.
He called out to those behind him, "Dazhuang! Wang Dazhuang! Come here quickly!"
Wang Dazhuang, unaware of what had happened, jogged over from behind: "Your Highness! What are your orders?"
Chu Tianling put his arm around Shen Jiaojiao and vigorously wiped her hands with his sleeve, as if he were wiping away something dirty.
Liu Piaopiao squatted on the ground, then slowly stood up, and saw everything clearly.
What a stingy man! He has no class!
Chu Tianling stepped aside, shielding the person behind him, and introduced Wang Dazhuang: "Dazhuang! Look, this is Liu Piaopiao. You two can get to know each other. He lives next to the Crown Prince's residence. Try to get to know him more often when you have time."
Liu Piaopiao stared wide-eyed at Chu Tianling. What did this mean? So, to prevent him from contacting Shen Jiaojiao, she was going to introduce him to someone?
He turned his head and glanced at the man who called himself Wang Dazhuang. He exuded masculinity and was definitely a man!
"No need. Just say you don't like me, there's no need for all this..."
"I don't like it, I don't like it, stay away from it from now on!" Before he could finish speaking, Chu Tianling interrupted him with disdain.
Liu Piaopiao's words caught in her throat. Looking at the other person's serious expression, she felt annoyed.
"Hmph! You think I want to be close to you? What a piece of trash!" Liu Piaopiao also had her own temper, and turned away.
Wang Dazhuang stood to one side, looking this way and that.
No, what do you mean?
So, am I just one of you? Is it really that casual?
Chu Tianling didn't even glance at her, and strode back to the mansion with the baby in his arms.
Zhou Tianqi followed behind, and when he reached Dazhuang's side, he went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, keep it up, Liu Piaopiao is not bad."
After saying that, he gave him a look, told him to figure it out himself, and then left.
Then the other brothers followed Zhou Tianqi's example, taking turns going up, patting Dazhuang on the shoulder, giving him a meaningful look, and leaving.
This was the first time Wang Dazhuang had ever been treated so warmly since he started working at the Crown Prince's residence.
"Hey! What do you mean? At least listen to my opinion! Why did you all just leave!"
"Hey! Wait a minute! Fu Hang, why are you walking so fast?"
Seeing that Fu Hang had also left, Wang Dazhuang knew he couldn't just stand there dumbly at the door, so he quickly followed after him.
He quickened his pace to catch up, put his hand on Fu Hang's shoulder, and acted like good buddies.
He couldn't help but explain, "Why did Fu Hang walk so fast? I don't like that woman. I heard she's not in good health and coughs up blood from time to time. Besides, she's so tall, it's obvious she'll never get married."
Fu Hang stopped and looked at Wang Dazhuang: "Whether you like it or not has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me. That's your business."
Wang Dazhuang's heart skipped a beat. The other person's expression was very serious, and his rationality returned instantly.
Yes, he's a normal man.
The abnormal one is myself. I've known that for a long time, haven't I?
We've been doing this for so many years, haven't we?
Why do I feel so sad?
