Su Bi hasn't shown up yet, but Ning Yuehang can't sit still anymore.

When he heard that someone was looking for trouble with Ning Xihua, he quickly ran to the gate of Ning Mansion, and even Ning Yueyan didn't have time to hold him back.

When he went out, he saw that the one leading the trouble was Li Cheng, the person he disliked the most, and he became even more furious.

Ning Yuehang rolled up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and pushed forward to the door. He was not afraid of the large number of people on the other side, as if he was ready to beat up anyone who dared to get close to him.

"Li Cheng, are you out of your mind? You dare to make trouble at the door of my Ning Mansion. Have you forgotten that we don't hang the three big characters "Ning Wang Mansion" on the door just because we want to be low-key?"

Because his second uncle was in the capital all year round and Yizhou was under the jurisdiction of his father, only the sign of Ning Prince's Palace was hung in the capital, and the old house in Yizhou only had the plaque of Ning Mansion on the door.

But everyone in Yizhou knew that Ningfu was the Ning Prince's Palace, a prince's palace that had been rooted in Yizhou for nearly a hundred years and had been passed down from generation to generation.

Li Cheng was not frightened when he heard this. "That's wrong. I didn't come here to cause trouble today. I just want to see Princess Yuexi and hope that Princess Yuexi will give us some swords and thatch."

Ning Yuehang sneered, "Who would come to see me like this? Besides, there is a shortage of sword grass now, why should we give it to you? You eat, drink and have fun every day, and you have to go out of the city when the plague breaks out. After the city is closed, you hide at home like a turtle. You are not as good as the playboy next door who goes out to help?"

Li Cheng was ridiculed and couldn't hold back his face. He said angrily, "Don't talk like you are so noble. After the sword grass was found to be able to treat the epidemic, it was monopolized by you. Do you dare to say that you Ningfu didn't take this life-saving medicine in advance? We are all noble families. You can't just eat meat while we can't even drink soup, right?"

When Ning Yuehang heard his slander, he raised his fist and was about to hit him in the face.

Before he could take a step, someone grabbed his collar from behind.

"You have to provide evidence when you speak. Jian Caocao is managed by the government. What does it have to do with our Ning family?"

Ning Yueyan held down the angry Ning Yuehang and sneered, "Besides, slandering the princess of the current dynasty is equivalent to defaming the royal family. The punishment is exile at the least and beheading at the worst. You should think clearly before you speak."

Li Cheng felt guilty after hearing what Ning Yueyan said. He stiffened his neck and said, "You don't have to scare me here. We just want to meet Princess Yue Xi and ask her for the sword thatch to save the elders in our family. Is it wrong to be filial?"

He didn't say any more to them, and rushed to the door with his men, as if he would not stop until he saw the princess.

The Ningfu guards quickly surrounded them. Ning Yuehang also rushed to the front line, staring at Li Cheng's face and eager to try. It seemed that a physical conflict was about to occur between the two sides.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of sword strikes and a white light flashed by like lightning. Before anyone could figure out what was happening, they heard Li Cheng screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

"Hand! My hand!"

Looking closely, I saw Li Cheng lying paralyzed on the ground, holding his left hand. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and the severed part of his left hand was lying in the blood.

The people who came with him to cause trouble scattered in an instant, standing far away from Li Cheng and not daring to get close.

Looking back again, I saw a man in black clothes and a jade crown on his head, standing on a horse with a sword in his hand. Blood was still dripping from the silver-like blade of the sword.

He had a handsome face, but a murderous aura filled his body, and his eyes were cold and ruthless, as if he had just chopped off a branch instead of a man's arm.

When everyone saw the man's aura of a superior and the well-trained soldiers following him, they all took a few steps back in the direction away from Licheng.

"Bah! Where did this bastard come from? How dare you cause trouble for Princess Yuexi?"

Huailiu spat in the direction of Li Cheng with a look of disgust.

Li Cheng looked at the person's posture and knew that it was the Crown Prince. He held his broken arm in pain and knelt down to kowtow to Su Bi.

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I only wanted to ask Princess Yuexi for medicine because my father is ill. I definitely don't mean to embarrass you!"

Su Bi's expression was icy. "I spared your life because you were being filial. I cut off your arm because you were trying to disturb the peace of Yizhou."

He turned his head and looked at everyone. Those whose eyes passed by had their hair standing on end and shrank their necks, not daring to look him in the face.

"The sword grass is uniformly transported and distributed by the government, and is given priority to the seriously ill and dying patients in Yu'an Hall, Taoist temples, and academies. Others who are only suffering from coughs will have to wait for some time. The sword grass transferred by the court is on the way, and soon everyone will be able to use the medicine."

Su Bi looked at the people below who dared not say a word, "If there is anyone who needs to take medicine in advance, there is no need to come to Ning Mansion, just come to me."

His tone was normal, but people could hear a threat in it.

"Do you have any questions?"

Li Cheng and the others shook their heads.

Huai Liu even yelled, "Why don't you get out of here?"

Li Cheng was supported by his servants, picked up his severed limbs, and quickly left the Ning Mansion. The others scattered like birds and beasts.

Ning Yuehang was impressed by Su Bi's aura and thought that the sword was simply stunning. He looked at him with admiration.

Ning Yueyan also bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping Ning Mansion out of trouble."

Today's disputes may seem like a small matter, but if not handled properly they can cause endless trouble.

What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. If Jiancao is given to Li Cheng in order to quell the dispute, countless Li Chengs will use this as an example to demand special treatment. Once the dissatisfaction of ordinary people that has been suppressed by the epidemic for a long time breaks out, there may be another riot.

The Crown Prince eliminated this hidden danger with one stroke of his sword, which was very decisive and efficient.

Su Bi got off his horse, walked up to the two men, and nodded gently, "It is my duty, so there is no need to thank me."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Yueyan again and said gently, "Since we are here, there is no reason not to pay our respects to Madam Ning. Is it convenient for Madam Ning?"

Ning Yueyan hurriedly bowed, "Of course, it is an honor for our family to have you here, please."

Su Bi nodded and walked ahead with Huai Liu.

Ning Yueyan was about to follow behind, but was grabbed by someone.

Ning Yuehang looked dazed and asked in a low voice, "Is that the Crown Prince?"

Ning Yueyan rolled his eyes and nodded.

Seeing that Ning Yuehang hadn't reacted yet, he said maliciously, "He's still the fifth sister's fiancé."

After saying that, he left him and quickly followed in the direction of Su Bi.

Ning Yuehang looked at Su Bi's back and angrily punched his palm.

"Fuck! What do you mean by handsome? You're breaking into my house and trying to steal my fifth sister!"

No, we can't let him succeed!

He hurriedly chased after him, fearing that Ning Xihua would be abducted by this man.

Arriving at the Ning Mansion, Su Bi first went to pay a visit to Old Madam Ning.

Although there was a plague in Yizhou, the old lady was not affected. On the contrary, she seemed much more energetic because of the care she received from Doctor Xu.

Ning Chen rushed over after hearing the news, but was stopped outside the room by the old lady. Even Ning Yuehang and Ning Yueyan were not allowed in. He only met Su Bi.

No one knew what the two talked about in the room. When Su Bi came out, she respectfully bowed to the old lady.

Mrs. Ning accepted the gift with a smile and seemed very satisfied with Su Bi.

"It's almost the end of the year. Your Highness is alone in Yizhou, without any relatives or friends. If you don't mind, you can celebrate the festival at your home."

Ning Chen looked at his mother in surprise.

You know, the Ning family has always attached great importance to the Spring Festival. Inviting the Crown Prince to celebrate the festival at home is almost equivalent to the old lady acknowledging the Crown Prince and treating him as a member of the Ning family.

Su Bi still lowered her head humbly and replied, "Yes, grandmother."

grandmother!?

Ning Yuehang's eyes almost popped out of his head.

How come he calls me grandma even though they haven't even gotten married yet? Is the Crown Prince so familiar with others?

Mrs. Ning, however, did not look surprised at all and happily responded to the call of "Grandma".
