Chen Chengzhi stood in front of the gate of Yicui Tower, looking a little uneasy. He kept looking inside the door.
The guard at the door, noticing his suspicious behavior, stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Looking around here?"
Shen Chengzhi was frightened by this shout and trembled slightly, but then he calmed down and explained anxiously: "I am here to look for someone. A young master asked me to come here to find him if I have anything to do."
There was an imperceptible tremor in Shen Chengzhi's voice.
Upon hearing this, the guard frowned slightly and looked Shen Chengzhi up and down. Seeing that although his clothes were simple, they were clean and tidy, and there was no trace of cunning in his eyes, he asked half-doubtfully: "Which young master are you looking for? Do you have a name or a token?"
When Shen Chengzhi heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he thought to himself: Oh no, I was so careless that I didn’t even ask the other party’s name, let alone any token.
He shook his head in frustration and stammered, "I...I forgot to ask his name, but he did tell me to come find him here."
Seeing this, the guard felt that this matter was a little strange, but seeing that Chen Chengzhi looked sincere and did not seem to be pretending, he thought for a moment and said, "In that case, you wait here for a moment. I will go in and report and see if the young master you mentioned is here."
After saying that, the guard turned around and was about to enter the building. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn back and remind Shen Chengzhi: "Don't run around, stay here honestly."
Shen Chengzhi nodded repeatedly, then found a corner at the door and stood still, his eyes fixed on the building, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety, fearing that his rash behavior would disturb the young master.
After a moment, the guard quickly returned to the door and let Shen Chengzhi in.
When Shen Chengzhi heard this, a hint of excitement and gratitude flashed in his eyes. He quickly straightened his clothes, trying to make himself look more decent, and then followed the guards into Yicui Tower.
Shen Chengzhi came to Chen Jingxi and kowtowed deeply, "Thank you for saving my life, my sister's injury will be healed in a while."
Chen Jingxi was very happy when he heard this, and motioned Shen Chengzhi to stand up, “You already thanked me a few days ago.”
Shen Chengzhi lowered his head, still kneeling. He hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I... I have an unwelcome request."
"Get up and talk."
Chen Chengzhi stood up and said, "My sister...she has been talking about wanting to see you, sir. I wonder if you can...can you go visit her?"
Chen Jingxi nodded. "Okay, I promised to tell her a story last time. After I finish explaining what I have to do, I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Chengzhi was overjoyed and quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Find a place to sit down first."
After Chen Jingxi finished explaining a series of trivial matters, he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, a rapid and angry roar suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Stinky boy, get out of here!"
Add a bunch of extremely effeminate insults.
Chen Jingxi frowned slightly. The voice sounded very familiar. He walked out slowly and saw dozens of people gathered outside the door, coming in a threatening manner.
In the center of the crowd, Lu Ting'an was carried by several servants, one hand wrapped in white cloth and hung around his neck, and one leg wrapped in bamboo strips.
Seeing this, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Is this guy getting his comeuppance?
Lu Ting'an saw Chen Jingxi at a glance, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted an order: "Break that kid's legs for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of servants he brought with him rushed up like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.
However, they were facing the well-trained guards of Prince Su's Mansion, and they would naturally show no mercy to the provocation of these servants.
The scene was chaotic for a while, but the result was no surprise.
These people may rely on their numbers to commit violent acts in the streets and alleys on a normal day.
But under the sharp blades of the guards of Prince Su's Mansion, it seemed vulnerable.
Soon, the ground was filled with wailing figures, and the scene was a mess.
Seeing this, Lu Ting'an's face changed drastically. His original arrogance disappeared in an instant, replaced by fear and panic.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, get up and beat them!"
But the only response he got was the groans of his companions.
At this moment, Han Yu kicked down the person carrying Lu Tingan's sedan chair.
Lu Ting'an lost his balance in an instant, fell on his back and screamed in pain.
Then, she started crying again, saying, "This is too much of a bully!"
Seeing this, Han Yu curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer, took a step forward, and raised his foot as if to step on him.
Seeing this, Lu Ting'an quickly raised his hands to protect himself, crying and begging for mercy: "Stop hitting me, I admit my mistake!"
He carefully helped Han Yu's feet back to the ground and said, "Please help me explain to my brother that I was wrong. Please don't hit me anymore."
Chen Jingxi came out of the house and saw Lu Ting'an's embarrassed appearance, and a smile inexplicably welled up in his heart.
He coughed lightly and said, "Do you admit your mistake?"
Lu Ting'an repeated reluctantly, "Yes, I admit my mistake."
This guy gave in pretty quickly.
"If you want to admit your mistakes, you must have the right attitude. Your current attitude is just average."
Lu Ting'an said in an unhappy tone, "What do you mean by 'just so-so'? Isn't this sincere enough?"
"It's really not sincere enough, and it lacks some thought."
"What's the gift?" It was the first time he heard that admitting one's mistake required a gift.
Chen Jingxi said: "In short, it's money."
Lu Ting'an's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "You mean you want money?"
