Luo Zhengyao remained silent this time. A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; a wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can't avoid...
Han Jin peeked out from behind the servant and thought Luo Zhengyao was truly pitiful.
Yan Shujin said in a low voice, "I think returning something to its rightful owner is something a good child should do. What do you think?"
Return it to its rightful owner?
Luo Zhengyao vaguely guessed what had happened, and propped himself up as he looked at Yan Shujin: "It was Li..."
"Smack."
Before Li Yue's name could even be uttered, Yan Shujin slapped him back to the ground: "Be a good boy, you know?"
After warning Luo Zhengyao, Yan Shujin stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "Bad kids get punished."
The sight of a teenage girl warning a grown man is laughable, but no one in the restaurant can laugh at the moment.
Yan Shujin left with her people, but before leaving, she glanced at Han Jing. Could this man like Sister Li? The first time they met, he was helping Sister Li get out of trouble, and now she saw him looking for Luo Zhengyao. It couldn't be a coincidence.
After Yan Shujin and the others left, Han Jing left a silver note on the table and slipped away with his men.
The servants of the Luo family rushed to help Luo Zhengyao up, and only then did the government officials arrive belatedly: "What happened?"
The manager of Dehua Restaurant was also puzzled. The timing of the government officials' arrival was too coincidental, and the person who dared to be so arrogant in beating the young master of the Luo family must be someone of considerable status.
Luo Zhengyao suspected that the person who hit him was from the Xuan Prince's mansion, and he knew that the Xuan Prince had a son and a daughter, so the person who hit him was obviously a woman disguised as a man.
The officials quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young Master Luo, shall we take you to the clinic first?"
Despite the throbbing pain in his body, Luo Zhengyao gritted his teeth and said, "You all arrived just in time."
The government official said sincerely, "This is what we should do. Why don't you find a place to rest first, and we'll go and fetch a doctor?"
Luo Zhengyao angrily said, "No need! I want to go back to my residence."
As the officials escorted Luo Zhengyao out, they assured him, "It's outrageous that someone dared to cause trouble and assault people. We will definitely investigate this thoroughly."
Instead of returning to the Prince's Mansion, Yan Shujin took Sun Qiao and the others to the entrance of Shengping Street. She had Sun Qiao and the others bring out small round stools and small tables from the carriage and place them under the shade of a tree. In addition, Yan Shujin also brought a lot of snacks, tea, dried fruit and melon seeds.
Sun Qiao and the others stood silently beside Yan Shujin.
Yan Shujin said, "You all eat too, and find a place to sit down."
Seeing that Sun Qiao and the others didn't move, Yan Shujin thought for a moment, kept some dried fruit and melon seeds for herself, and pushed the rest towards Sun Qiao: "You guys can share it."
Sun Qiao then took it and shared it with the others.
Yan Shujin waved her hand and said, "Don't crowd around me, it's a bit hot. Find a place to cool off yourselves."
Sun Qiao nodded to the others, and the guards found places to eat and rest, but Sun Qiao still stood next to Yan Shujin.
Yan Shujin said, "There's a round stool in the carriage. You can take it down and sit on it yourself."
Sun Qiao was full of questions, but having received the Prince Xuan's order to obey the princess in everything, he went to the carriage, moved a round stool down, and sat down.
Yan Shujin was short, so sitting on the round stool was just right for her, but Sun Qiao had long legs, so sitting on it made her look a little uncomfortable. Yan Shujin looked at Sun Qiao's long legs, which had nowhere to go, with a hint of jealousy.
Luo Zhengyao was practically carried onto the carriage by his servants.
The servant then whispered, "Young master, I saw the insignia of the Prince Xuan's residence on the hem of those people's clothes."
Luo Zhengyao kicked the servant: "Get lost, do you need to tell me?"
The servant didn't dare to dodge. Luckily, Luo Zhengyao was in pain and weak, so the kick wasn't too hard. The servant was also panicked. If Luo Zhengyao was injured, they wouldn't have a good time when they got back.
The carriage went straight back to the Luo residence. As soon as Luo Zhengyao returned, the house erupted in chaos. After all, a perfectly healthy person had gone out only to return beaten like this. Luo Zhengyao's grandmother and others were alarmed. Luo Zhengyao's mother, seeing her son's condition, burst into tears: "Who did this! Report it to the authorities! They cannot be let off lightly."
Luo Zhengyao's grandmother also said, "Take the family's token to the prefect! Is there no law anymore?!"
"Wait," Luo Zhengyao quickly stopped them, saying, "Grandmother, Mother, I have something to say."
Upon hearing this, Madam Luo asked, "Did you get into a fight with someone?"
"No," Luo Zhengyao said seriously, "It's very important."
Only then did Madam Luo send the servants out of the room. Madam Luo didn't even dare to touch her son's face: "What kind of deep-seated hatred is this? First, send someone to fetch a doctor."
Luo Zhengyao gasped in pain and said, "Grandmother, it was someone from the Prince Xuan's residence. I suspect it was Princess Yongfu who hit me."
Princess Yongfu?
For a moment, Madam Luo's crying stopped.
Luo Zhengyao said, "We'll see if we need to report this to the authorities after my grandfather and father return. Besides... I was beaten in the restaurant, and someone reported it to the authorities a long time ago, but the officials didn't arrive until the people from Prince Xuan's mansion left."
Madam Luo remained silent for a moment, then said, "Please call the doctor first."
At the intersection of Shengping Street, as soon as the carriage bearing the Luo family's insignia appeared, Yan Shujin immediately ordered Sun Qiao to lead men to stop the carriage. The servants inside were tied up, the carriage was smashed, and the horses were restrained by the guards.
Yan Shujin directed the guards to hang the banner they had brought on the tree. The characters on the banner were large enough to be clearly seen. After cleaning up the sunflower seed shells, she said, "Alright, let's lead the horses away."
Sun Qiao looked at the banner: "The servants of the Luo family shall be returned intact."
Others probably don't know, but these are people from the Luo family, and they're doing the same thing as when they come to the Luo family for business.
Sun Qiao couldn't help but ask, "How did the princess know that the Luo family would come here?"
"Because they need to fetch a doctor, and this is the shortest route," Yan Shujin said. "I've seen a map of the capital."
Sun Qiao said, "What if they were rescued beforehand?"
“No.” Yan Shujin said with certainty, “We’re so brazenly acting like this, it’s obvious we’re not to be trifled with, and we’re not afraid of retaliation from the Luo family. What does that mean? It means we’re more powerful than the Luo family. Do you think anyone would be willing to offend us for the sake of the Luo family? At most, someone might secretly send a message to the Luo family. Anyway, everyone who’s supposed to see it has already seen it.”
Sun Qiao asked, "What about these two horses?"
Yan Shujin said matter-of-factly, "I am a princess, with a very noble status. Do you think I'm just going to wait here for nothing? Of course, I have to charge a fee."
Sun Qiao: "..."
He couldn't see what made him seem noble, but one phrase came to mind: "A thief never leaves empty-handed."
