Zhuang You glanced at the leg that Master Wang was about to kick, narrowed her eyes, and then raised her knee to strike.
"Snap—"
"Well--!!"
Master Wang was still stunned the moment he was sent flying. It was one thing for a three-year-old toddler to be able to climb a tree, but he was actually kicked away by a delicate little girl?!
When Fu Man rushed over, he witnessed Zhuang You sweeping away Master Wang as he left.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and then a figure flew past Fu Man's face, crashing heavily into the wall in front of him.
"ah--!"
Another scream rang out. Fu Man, sweating profusely, swallowed hard as he watched as Master Wang slowly slid down the wall to the ground in front of him.
He turned his head stiffly and saw the gentle and beautiful Zhuangyou girl. For a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat even more.
Zhuangyou was taken aback when she saw Fuman's pale face, then smiled gently at him, "Steward Fu? When did you arrive? Did I frighten you? I'm sorry."
"No, no, no..." Fu Man dared not accept Zhuang You's apology. He quickly waved his hand and gave a stiff, awkward laugh. "Well, Your Highness was worried about the little princess, so he sent me to check on her... Hehe, hehe..."
Seeing the terrified look in Fu Man's eyes, Zhuang You coughed lightly, gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, and said with a faint smile, "Is that so? Steward Fu's arrival is quite timely. I'll trouble Steward Fu to apprehend this person; he is a human trafficker."
"Okay, okay, okay..." Fu Man nodded quickly, his gaze shifting to Master Wang, who had fallen and was now a mess, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with the feng shui of Hengchang.
He had been wondering how this girl, Zhuangyou, could remain untainted by the mud, since they were all from Hengchang. But now, seeing this scene, he was no longer surprised at all.
Fu Man chuckled and beckoned the eunuch to come in and tie up Master Wang.
Zhuangyou went over with the little baby and pulled the children out of the cage, untying the ropes binding their hands and feet.
"Let me go! Who are you people! How dare you interfere in my business!" Wang, the troupe leader, who was tied up by the eunuchs, glared at them with a sinister look in his eyes. "Don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're playing tricks on me! Before you meddle in these other people's business, you'd better find out who I work for!"
"Oh? Who are you working for?"
The boy slowly approached, glanced at Master Wang's bruised and swollen face, then looked at the cute little baby bouncing around, and smiled slightly, knowing that the human trafficker had definitely not gotten anything out of it.
"Heh, I might as well tell you! He's the Imperial Son-in-Law!" Master Wang raised his chin, looking at Huo Chengche with disdain. His eyes were arrogant, and when he said the words "Imperial Son-in-Law," it was as if he could look down on everyone.
"The Imperial Son-in-Law?" Huo Chengche raised an eyebrow indifferently, his expression calm. "The Imperial Son-in-Law of Princess Linhuang?"
The only prince consort in the capital was the prince consort of Princess Linhuang, which is not hard to guess.
Upon hearing the words "Princess Linhuang," the little boy's eyes lit up, and he said in his childish voice, "Is she the mother of that Lady Fende?"
Master Wang sneered and raised his chin. "Exactly! What's wrong? Hurry up and release me, and I might spare your lives! Otherwise, if this gets to the Princess and the Prince Consort, those two masters won't be as easy to talk to as I am!"
Huo Chengche glanced at Master Wang indifferently and waved his hand dismissively.
Fu Man immediately understood and instructed the eunuch, "Gag him and transfer him to the Jingzhao Prefecture!"
As he spoke, Fu Man looked at Master Wang with a mocking expression, "Everyone has a mouth. You should wait until the Princess and the Prince Consort lend a hand to the Prefect of the Capital before telling these things to the Prefect of the Capital. But then again, it's uncertain who will laugh and who will cry after you've said it."
