In the Furong Pavilion of the Hot Spring Villa, Mu Qingni was sitting on the soft couch with Princess Ningguo, drinking tea and chatting...
Princess Ningguo also heard from her son that Zhu Xi's newly built hot spring villa was better than her plum garden. She was very dissatisfied. This time she specially asked Mu Qingni to come and see it. She wanted to compare them with her own eyes to see whether her plum garden was better or her fifth nephew's villa was better!
Princess Ningguo was the eldest daughter of Emperor Chengqian, ten years older than the late Crown Prince, and the first child of Emperor Chengqian and the late Empress...
When the late Empress was too busy to spare any time, Princess Ningguo took on the role of mother, taking charge of the upbringing of her many younger brothers...
Therefore, not only did Emperor Chengqian and his wife always rely on her, but all the brothers under her were also afraid of her.
Mu Qingni's father, Mu Feng, was a child picked up by Emperor Chengqian, who adopted him as his adopted son since childhood...
Mu Feng was also raised by the late queen along with the prince and his brothers since the day he was adopted by Emperor Cheng Qian. Therefore, Mu Feng can be said to have grown up under the care of Princess Ningguo!
A few years ago, Mu Feng was discovered by his wife Su for having a mistress. In a fit of rage, Mrs. Su left home and lived in a nunnery.
Mu Feng also felt guilty towards his wife, so he spent most of his time living in the military camp. He focused all his energy on helping Emperor Cheng Qian expand his territory and rarely returned home.
The couple just left Mu Qingni, still a child, alone in the mansion, with only a few servants to look after her. Her father didn't love her and her mother didn't care...
Princess Ningguo couldn't stand it any more, and since the two mansions were not far from each other, she often invited Mu Qingni to live with her. Later, Mu Feng's concubine took advantage of the fact that she had given birth to a son and moved into the mansion. Princess Ningguo then refused to let Mu Qingni go back!
Except for the days when Mu Feng occasionally came back, Mu Qingni lived in the Princess's Mansion for most of the time before she followed Mu Feng to the battlefield at the age of fourteen. Therefore, she had a deep relationship with the Princess, and the Princess treated her like her own daughter.
Ever since returning to Kyoto from Fuzhou City, Mu Feng had submitted a memorial to resign from all military duties for Mu Qingni. Therefore, Mu Qingni had been recovering from her injuries for the past year under her father's coercion. Because she was bored, she often went to the Princess's Mansion to hang out.
So, today I was caught by the eldest princess and accompanied her to this hot spring villa.
It's true that the hot springs at this hot spring villa are truly worthy of their reputation. Even if the princess came here to find fault, she could only find fault with the scenery in the garden, but not the hot springs themselves...
A moment ago, the two had just finished soaking in the hot springs. After the servants wrung out their hair and combed it again, they nestled on the couch, drinking tea and chatting. They were enjoying their conversation when the maid who had accompanied them came over to report that a conflict had suddenly broken out at the gate of the Hot Spring Villa between the villa's steward, Zhou, and Prime Minister Hu's son...
The two of them didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a minor dispute. Unexpectedly, the old woman came back a while later, saying that the conflict had escalated. Hu Xiang's concubine had also arrived with her guards, and the two groups were already fighting. It looked like the Villa was struggling, so they asked the Princess if she wanted to intervene...
After all, the Fifth Emperor's grandson is the eldest princess's nephew. His business was destroyed, and since the eldest princess, his aunt, is here, it's not good for her to just stand by and watch...
"I'll go take a look!" Mu Qingni stood up after hearing this and said, "Aunt, that Manager Zhou is the grandson of the late Lord Zhou, and I know him. When I was in Fuzhou City, the Zhou family helped me a lot. If someone in their family is being bullied, it would be bad for me not to go and take a look..."
"Well, you can go and take a look, but don't beat him too hard. He is Prime Minister Hu's son after all, so you have to give him some face!"
The eldest princess nodded and smiled as she heard this.
…
In the Zheng family courtyard at the foot of the villa...
Zhou Yu, her grandmother, and her aunt Zhang were working on a hot pot base using chili peppers. Since the chili dishes at the Hot Spring Villa restaurant were selling like hotcakes, Zhou Yu was thinking of developing a hot pot base. Then, she'd build another courtyard next to her grandmother's and open a hot pot restaurant.
Ever since Zhang was taken back by her mother-in-law, she heard that their family had actually bought the mountain behind the house and started a business with the fifth prince!
Then she watched as the villa was built into a beautiful garden that she had never seen before, and then the business started. The money she earned every day was enough for her to spend for the rest of her life!
During that time, Zhang was so shocked she didn't know what to do! Knowing that her family was able to participate in this business because of her sister-in-law Jiayu, Zhang was terrified. She was deeply worried that her sister-in-law would dislike her because of her troubles and instigate her eldest brother to divorce her! Therefore, she was very cautious during that time.
Later, when she saw that her sister-in-law had no grudges against her, she was always respectful to her, calling her "sister-in-law" all the time. Her nephews and nieces also treated her with respect and had a good relationship with her two sons. Zhang gradually felt relieved...
From then on, I no longer had any prejudice against my sister-in-law's family, and I became closer to her...
A while ago, after Zhou Zelin's school opened, Zhou Li and the others went to study with him. To take care of Zhou Li, Zheng had been living with Zhou Ying in the small courtyard the Zhou family rented on the edge of West City.
Because Zhou Yu had to help manage the villa's business, he ended up staying at the Zheng family's house. Zhang had taken over Zheng's role, meticulously taking care of Zhou Yu's daily needs... Zhang's cooking was pretty good, so today Zhou Yu had roped her in to help him research hot pot base...
…
A few people were thinking in the kitchen when they saw Zheng An running in anxiously. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted:
"Grandfather! Dad! Someone is beating Luo Ge'er at the gate of the villa! There are too many of them, and we can't hold them back. Hurry up and help!"
Mr. Zheng and his son, who were in the room, ran out immediately after hearing it!
"Ang'er! Why are you running home? There are only a few people at home! Go to the villa and call all the men!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zheng immediately stamped his feet anxiously.
Zheng An was also panicked. When he heard his second uncle asking him to call for help, he instinctively went to find his father and grandfather. After hearing what his father said, he ran back and went to the villa to call for help!
When Mr. Zheng and the other two saw this, they quickly picked up their weapons and followed!
Zhou Yu could no longer sit still, so she went back to the house, got the bow her brother had just bought for her, and followed with her sword bag on her back!
"Oh! Sister Yu! Why are you, a girl, following him?" When Zhang saw this, she rushed out to stop him, but when she came out, Zhou Yu had already run so far away that there was no way she could stop him!
…
When Zhou Yu and others arrived at the gate of the villa, Mu Qingni had just arrived.
At this time, Zhou Luo and the others had been knocked to the ground by Hu Xiang's guards and tied up with ropes...
At this moment, Hu Yi was stepping on half of Zhou Luo's face with his foot, forcing Zhou Luo to lick the sole of his shoe!
Zhou Luo naturally refused to do it, and was cursing with his neck stiffened:
"Hu! You bastard, the son of a lowly concubine, if you have the guts, kill your grandfather today! Otherwise, grandpa will kill you one day!"
When Hu Yi heard him scolding himself as a concubine's son, he immediately became furious and kicked Zhou Luo in the face. After a few kicks, half of Zhou Luo's face was swollen.
But this kick only aroused Zhou Luo's bloodiness. Taking advantage of Zhou Luo's unpreparedness, he bit his calf...
"Ah!!" Hu Yi suddenly screamed in pain and tried to pull his leg back, but Zhou Luo held on tightly and refused to let go. During the struggle, Zhou Luo actually tore a piece of the flesh off Hu Yi's leg...
Hu Yi's eyes turned red from the pain. He screamed and snatched the long sword from the guard beside him and chopped it towards Zhou Luo's head!
"Go to hell!"
…
"Stop it!!"
"Yier! Don't!"
Seeing Hu Yi raise the knife, some people nearby who were close to Hu Xiang, fearing that someone might die, hurriedly spoke out to stop him...
In the eyes of those people, as the young master of the prime minister's mansion, teaching a few stewards a lesson and injuring a few servants were all minor matters to Hu Yi, but causing a loss of life would be a big deal... I'm afraid that even Prime Minister Hu wouldn't be able to cover it up by then!
So at first, when Hu Yi and his mother ordered the guards to beat people up, they ignored them. But now, seeing Hu Yi trying to kill someone, they quickly spoke out to stop him...
Even Tian shouted at Hu Yi to stop!
But Hu Yi was so angry that his eyes turned red, how could he control himself... Seeing Zhou Luo still cursing at his feet, he chopped down with the knife in his hand with full of murderous intent.
Zhou Luo would definitely die with this knife. The people around him screamed in fear, and some of the timid ones closed their eyes in fear!
"Luo Ge'er!!"
Zheng Wen, Zheng Wu and others were also shocked, but they were tied up and could not come up to rescue!
Everyone thought Zhou Luo was going to die! Including Mr. Zheng and his son, who had just rushed over but hadn't even gotten close yet, and Zhou Luo himself...
But suddenly, a sharp arrow and a palm-sized stone flew towards Hu Yi who was swinging the knife with a whistling sound!
The stone hit his right wrist where he held the knife, and the arrow pierced his right arm where he held the knife!
Hu Yi's right hand was instantly disabled, and the knife fell beside Zhou Luo's head because he couldn't hold it!
Zhou Luo had just escaped death, and now he was afraid. Looking at the knife next to his head, he was so scared that cold sweats broke out, but it made him calm down a lot...
"ah!!!"
"Yier!"
Hu Yi screamed again, a hundred times more shrill than when he was bitten by Zhou Luo just now! Then his eyes rolled back in pain and he fainted!
The bones in his wrist had been smashed by Mu Qingni, and his arm had been shot through by Zhou Yu!
Tian was so distressed that she rushed over and hugged her baby son in her arms, checking the wound on his arm...
When Tian was working at the Music Bureau, she had learned some medical skills from a nanny, so she could tell at a glance that the bones in her son's wrist were broken. Even if he recovered in the future, he would probably not be able to hold a pen or write!
In other words, her son will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in his lifetime!
Maybe every mother has a wish for her son to become successful. Tian is the same. She thinks her son is smarter than anyone else and his poor academic performance is only because he loves to play too much. As long as the prodigal son returns one day, he will definitely become the top scholar!
Moreover, Tian had evidence for this. Prime Minister Hu was recognized as a smart man throughout Dayan, and his knowledge was top-notch. How could his son be bad?
Therefore, after seeing her son's injuries, Tian's face was twisted with anger, and her beautiful eyes glared at the crowd outside like poisonous snakes, screaming:
"Who did this! Come out here!"
If anyone dares to hurt her son like this, she will definitely take his life!
The people around her were glared at by her and all made way...
Zhou Yu, who was standing on a big rock behind the crowd and drawing his bow and arrow, and Mu Qingni, who was shaking a stone in her hand, were revealed!
