Chapter 103 Husband, did you hear everything?
"Bitch, do you know who I am?"
"It only takes me a few minutes to kill you. Just wait. Tomorrow I will make you, the so-called husband, come here and kneel down and beg for mercy, and then I will personally send you to my bed—"
The unbearable words were stepped on by Qi Muchao and turned into an extremely unpleasant scream.
Lu Wanning pinched her waist and stood beside Qi Muchao. She sighed towards Hu Er and looked at Qi Muchao, "Husband, did you hear that?"
Hu Er: “…”
The prefect on the other side nearly fainted, and his cronies didn't dare to say a word.
Just looking at this scene, it's not difficult to guess what happened, but Qi Muchao glanced at these people and looked at Lu Wanning, "What's going on?"
Hu Yan spoke for her, "The Crown Prince's Consort and I were strolling the streets today. On our way back, we passed by Erfang Lane and ran into this Hu Er. He thought the Crown Prince's Consort was just an ordinary woman, and his words were extremely foul. I got so angry listening to them that I couldn't hold back."
Qi Muchao narrowed his eyes and looked at the prefect, his thin lips slightly opened, "Now that we're at the prefect's, there should be someone to help uphold justice. Why do you still have to do it yourself?"
The master and servant sang in unison, and Hu Yan spoke again, "The prefect only helped that man and wanted to insult the Crown Prince's wife. This servant protected the Crown Prince's wife, and that's why the fight started again."
"It was my impulsiveness. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Qi Muchao glanced at the group of people coldly, "Protecting the Crown Prince's Consort is what you should do, what's the crime?"
Changing the subject, he walked towards the prefect and said, "How about asking Lord Li to tell us what exactly happened that caused Lord Li to instruct these yamen runners to attack two weak women?"
Weak woman?
Everyone present who had just been beaten by Hu Yan felt a dull pain in their wounds.
Can this be considered a weak woman?
After Hu Er recognized Qi Muchao, he didn't even dare to cry out in pain, let alone shout.
Seeing that his good friends were already trying to distance themselves from him, the prefect acted as if he knew nothing and was about to push all the blame onto him.
Hu Er clutched his hand, which was shaking with pain from being stepped on by Qi Muchao, and tugged at the edge of Qi Muchao's clothes. "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Qi Muchao tutted softly, and Chang Qing stepped forward to pull the man away, "How dare you!"
He looked at the prefect, "Is this a misunderstanding?"
The prefect was also a smart man. With a wave of his hand, he immediately ordered the bailiffs to arrest Hu Er.
He and Hu Er originally had similar interests, but he was also somewhat concerned about Hu Er's identity.
The eldest master of the Hu family was an official in the court. Although his status was not very prominent, the old lady of the Hu family was a lady of imperial decree.
In addition, Hu Er's sister entered the palace early and became a concubine, so he naturally tried his best not to offend her.
But he is not stupid. Compared with Qi Muchao, Hu Er's nepotism is nothing.
Naturally, he would stand on Qi Muchao's side. Now he just hoped that Prince Qi could concentrate on dealing with Hu Er and not pay attention to him.
Hu Er was locked up. Qi Muchao took Lu Wanning away. Before leaving, he asked the prefect to keep a good eye on him and not allow anyone to visit him. He would come to try him in person tomorrow.
After leaving the government office and getting on the carriage, he straightened his clothes that were a little messy from being pulled, and glanced at Lu Wanning, "Okay, now it's your turn to speak."
Lu Wanning grinned, feeling a little guilty, "Actually, I was just impulsive."
Qi Muzhao stretched out his hand and gestured, "Stop, this is not the first time you've been impulsive."
He said this, but his hands naturally poured a cup of tea for Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. After moistening her throat, she spoke and told Qi Muchao what she had heard from that woman yesterday.
"However, Yan Mingchang happened to be at the clinic yesterday, so I asked the woman to tell him about these things. I think he should be able to deal with it."
After saying this, Lu Wanning glanced at him guiltily, "Actually, I didn't intend to cause trouble for Hu Er today. It's just a coincidence that we met."
Qi Muchao listened for a long time and did not raise any objection to her teaching Hu Er a lesson. Instead, he frowned and asked seriously, "Why is Yan Mingchang in the clinic?"
Lu Wanning: “?”
Is this the point?
But she still explained: "Tomorrow the Banquet Mansion will hold a full moon banquet for the little one who was born not long ago, and he came to invite me."
Qi Muchao snorted coldly, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink."
Lu Wanning was not a fool, so she naturally saw what Yan Mingchang felt for her, but she couldn't just refuse and say that she already had a man when he didn't say anything.
Speaking of the full moon banquet, Lu Wanning thought about picking a gift for the little guy. As soon as she thought of the gift, she remembered the sapphire necklace that Sang Mingyue asked her to help get. She quickly slapped her head, thinking of her bad memory.
Qi Muchao was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"You have a beautiful sapphire necklace in your storeroom, remember?"
"Well," Qi Muchao thought she liked it, "you can pick out the things in the warehouse yourself, no need to ask for my opinion."
Lu Wanning shook her head. "No, Sang Mingyue's Treasure Pavilion is about to open. She heard that you bought your necklace, so she came to ask me if she could put it in the Treasure Pavilion. She wants to set a high price for it."
Qi Muchao looked at her, "Don't you like it?"
It’s okay. Lu Wanning doesn’t have much like or dislike for jewelry. If she has it, it’s fine. If she doesn’t have it, she won’t pursue it too much.
Of course, if the necklace was a shining gold brick, she might be reluctant to give it up.
Thinking about investing in Sang Mingyue now, and thinking about how he would become a close friend of the richest man in Beijing when he became rich, he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't like it."
"Then give it to her." Qi Muchao didn't care too much about these things. Some of the things in the small warehouse were bought by him casually, some were given to him by others, and some were exploited by him from Qi Liuchuan.
To be honest, he couldn't even remember what was inside.
Hu Er was locked up, and the news reached the Hu Mansion that night.
In addition, Yan Mingchang had also begun investigating the Hu family. Someone who knew the situation reported the news to the eldest master of the Hu family, who was so angry that his eyes turned black.
I knew that my disappointing brother would one day cause a disaster that could not be handled, but my mother was biased towards him and would come out to stop him every time he wanted to teach her a lesson.
Her father died early, and she raised two children alone with great difficulty. She didn't want to put him on a pedestal to let them quarrel among themselves.
Now that something really happened, the eldest master was so angry that his heart ached. He looked at his mother who seemed to be protecting his younger brother but kept silent when something really happened.
"I knew this day would come. He's ruined the reputation my father built up over the years. Normally, I could handle it for him when he bullied decent women, but now he's offended the prince of Prince Qi's mansion. Do you know what this means?"
The old lady's face was long. "Alright, what's the point of saying this now? He's your brother. Just because he's having a hard time doesn't mean you'll have a better life. The most important thing is to find a way to rescue him."
"How do we save him?" The eldest master was furious, but then he understood and smiled sadly, "Prince Qi and Your Majesty have been in love for many years. Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Your Majesty dotes on Prince Qi? The princes and princesses in the palace all treat Prince Qi kindly. Now that he has provoked someone, mother, tell me, how can I save him?"
The old lady's face fell. "Isn't Rou'er in the palace? Let her persuade His Majesty. Let her suffer a little and then release her. We don't ask for anything. At most, we can go to Prince Qi's mansion and apologize."
She was still a little dissatisfied. "Who told the Crown Prince's Consort to dress so plainly, with only a little maid by her side? Every lady goes out with a group of servants waiting on her. If she had revealed her identity earlier, Kang'er would never have bothered her."
Even at this point, the old lady still doesn't repent.
