Chapter 807 You Are Indeed Different From Them
The two lanterns on the gate swayed gently in the wind, and the dim candlelight reflected Ziheng's indifferent face.
He was holding a newly packed bundle in his arms, with a little sweat on his fair face. It was obvious that he had jogged all the way here with great difficulty.
Seeing that it was him, Yan Changkun hurriedly said, "Why did Ziheng follow us? I can send him off alone."
He liked this child from the bottom of his heart, and out of protectiveness, he naturally didn't want him to have too much contact with Li Zhuang.
Not to mention these children, even he, at his age, has never seen anyone so cruel at such a young age.
He doesn't even feel the slightest bit of gratitude towards his own biological mother, let alone these outsiders?
He was afraid that if the children saw this kind of thing, it would offend their eyes.
Ziheng said in a calm voice, "We were classmates after all, I'm here to see him off."
"Why are you pretending!" Li Zhuang said with disdain, "If you weren't lucky, you would have been reincarnated into Prince Jin's Mansion.
With someone like you, there is absolutely no way anyone in this world would want to be friends with you."
He strained to open his eyes wide, sneered, and asked, "If you weren't a prince of the palace, do you think that sickly guy and his brother would play with you?"
Ziheng pursed his lips and said, "I don't know about them, but you definitely won't."
Li Zhuang's face flushed with anger after being hit in the sore spot. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm different from them!"
Hearing this, Ziheng nodded and said, "You are indeed different from them."
He just repeated in a calm tone what Li Zhuang had just said, but it irritated him and made him burst into cursing.
"You think you're such a good person, but you're so eager to be someone's lackey, and no one wants you!"
Ziheng's expression remained unchanged. He walked forward, handed him the bag in his hand, and said, "Go back to the border town. The capital is not the place for you."
Li Zhuang reached out and grabbed him, saying viciously, "Who do you think you are? The capital wasn't built by your family. I can be wherever I want!"
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter was heard around him.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Zhuang looked at Yan Changkun angrily, only to realize that the laughter did not come from him.
Then, someone nearby said, "You're such an interesting kid. What else can we laugh at? We're just laughing at you for not knowing your place."
Li Zhuang knew what this meant.
He immediately looked in the direction of the voice and said viciously: "Get out of here and don't meddle in other people's business!"
The man immediately laughed out loud, "No wonder the Yan Mansion sent people out so late at night. This kind of person who can't tell good from bad is destined to become a troublemaker if he's kept here.
Although the capital city was not built by King Jin, it is still our home."
"I heard that the princess and the Yan family are very kind to these children and they eat and drink with the master.
Even the clothes they wore were of the finest brocade, and they hired teachers to teach them how to read and write."
"Such a good thing actually exists. Doesn't that mean the princess is their adopted parent?"
"You're still reborn as a parent, but look at this kid's attitude, it's clear he's an ungrateful person who can never be tamed."
Li Zhuang clenched his fists and cursed, "You are the ungrateful bastard, your whole family is ungrateful bastards, stop meddling in other people's business!"
"Such an ungrateful person deserves to be kicked out."
"Master Yan was so kind as to give him some banknotes. If it were me, I would beat the shit out of him and my mother would have given birth to me in vain!"
The words of those people became more and more unpleasant. Not to mention Li Zhuang, even Yan Changkun could hardly bear to listen.
He coughed lightly and said, "Calm down, everyone. This kid is still young, so his words are bound to be a little inappropriate. Don't take it personally."
Hearing that he was actually speaking up for Li Zhuang, those people felt sorry for him and their words became increasingly harsh.
Some people even said directly: "It would be better to raise a dog instead of wasting food on him, at least he can help guard the house."
Yan Changkun immediately thought of what Li Zhi had said and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He endured it again and again, sighed and said: "To be honest with you, it was actually my Xier who agreed to the dying wishes of this child's mother.
Otherwise, I won’t let him into the house no matter what.”
The words were so heartfelt that they almost made people cry.
Li Zhuang widened his eyes and wanted to refute, but every word Yan Changkun said was the truth.
When those people heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yan Changkun was too lazy to continue the farewell drama here. He suppressed his disgust and walked forward to pat Li Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself out there."
Li Zhuang fiercely shook off his hand and said angrily: "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
"If this were my house, I would beat him until he crawled all over the house."
"Hurry up and drive him away. If you keep this ungrateful person at home, you won't have a peaceful life in the future."
"If you ask me, it's just that the princess's family is too kind. It's true that kind people are often bullied and kind horses are often ridden."
Listening to their words, Li Zhuang retorted: "You have been deceived, they are all pretending!"
He pointed at his face and said, "They beat me up and knocked out a tooth."
Someone took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. "What a big pig's head!"
"Is it true? Let me come over and take a look."
The other people came forward and after just one look, they all burst out laughing.
They didn't mean it.
It's really, really too funny to help.
Even without looking in the mirror, Li Zhuang knew that he looked ugly with a bruised face and nose, but even so, he was still irritated to death by the laughter of several people.
Before he could explain, Yan Changkun sighed and said, "The scar on this kid's face was from a conflict with a fellow villager."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately said, "He's so young and already hitting people. What will he be like when he grows up?"
"It takes two to tango. There are two people involved. It's not enough to just drive one away."
Li Zhuang immediately became excited when he heard this and blurted out, "Why are you only kicking me out?"
Yan Changkun clenched his fist and looked at the others, saying, "Another child was hit on the head by Li Zhuang with a stone and is still lying unconscious in the mansion."
"Throwing rocks at people's heads, isn't that clearly an attempt to kill them?"
"How old is he, yet he is so vicious!"
"He has shifty eyes and doesn't look like a good guy. He beats up his fellow townsman today, and he'll beat up the princess tomorrow."
"Hurry up and drive him away. What are you waiting for?"
Li Zhuang anxiously retorted, "I didn't hit my sick brother. He did it himself."
Hearing the three insulting words "sickly kid", the few people who already disliked him just wanted to slap him in the face.
I don't know how he got such a foul mouth, but he didn't get beaten to death outside.
Yan Changkun smiled apologetically at the group and said, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh today. Tomorrow at noon, I'll set up a table of wine and food at Juweizhai. I hope you'll be so kind as to honor me."
"Is there such a good thing? Then we would like to thank Shopkeeper Yan here."
One of the clever ones said, "Don't worry, Manager Yan, we brothers can all bear witness to what happened today."
As he spoke, he glared at Li Zhuang with a bad look and said, "If this brat dares to go out and talk nonsense, I will be the first one to not let him off!
Li Zhuang blushed and wanted to retort, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a person sneaking around behind a stone lion with half of his head sticking out.
He said excitedly: "Goudan, you are finally here!"
