Chapter 173 Beat him until even his own mother wouldn't recognize him
Ping'er clenched her fists tightly, her eyes showing a hint of resistance.
He wasn't ready to tell his family yet.
He remembered Ah Nuan's expectations for him when she sent him to school. Ah Nuan said that he should pass the exams on his own merits, but now he had messed up the very first step.
Father had said he shouldn't fight anymore, but it seems he gets into trouble again in just a few days.
He didn't want to go back. He didn't know how to face the trust his family placed in him.
But Master Du seemed determined to persist on this matter. Li Junping had no way to back down.
…
After instructing the patient on precautions, Jiang Nuanzhi hurriedly headed to the academy.
My right eyelid has been twitching all day. I haven't looked at Ping'er at all, but I still feel a little uneasy.
Before getting on the donkey cart, she bought some things and tidied up the wine she had brought that day.
He secretly thought that he should bring some small gifts later. After all, one shouldn't refuse a smiling face. It's better to be prepared than not.
While I was taking inventory, I was suddenly bumped hard.
With a crash, the jar in his hand shattered into pieces.
The aroma of green apricots mingled with the fragrance of wine, spreading through the air in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned as she looked at the person approaching: "Uncle, why don't you look where you're going?"
The man was also startled: "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good!"
In a daze, a refreshing aroma of wine wafted into the nostrils, causing the newcomer to pause in surprise.
However, he quickly regained his composure and took out a silver ingot from his pocket: "This silver is my compensation to this lady. I am currently preoccupied with other matters, so please forgive me."
With that, he handed the silver to Jiang Nuanzhi, then turned and walked away quickly.
As they walked, he urged the coachman beside him, "Where is the lady? What are you standing there for?"
"Look, it's right ahead!" the driver exclaimed, pointing ahead. "That's Shufang!"
Jiang Nuanzhi turned around and saw the master and servant hurrying past. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Could this be the man of the lady she had saved?
However, she didn't care too much and could only accept her bad luck. Luckily, she had brought a few extra jars of wine.
"Hey, hey, hey, Ah Nuan, are you crazy! I didn't even want to drink a bowl of this wine, and you just threw it on the ground! If you don't want to drink it, give it to me."
When Lü Shizhu returned from shopping, he saw the plum wine scattered all over the ground and immediately slapped his thigh in distress.
Jiang Nuanzhi simply raised an eyebrow: "Look, he was hit by that person."
As he spoke, he waved the one or two taels of silver in his hand: "I even lost money."
Following the direction Jiang Nuanzhi was pointing, Lü Shizhu could still see a figure from behind. He couldn't make out the face.
He frowned after just one glance: "Why does he look so much like that old devil?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "What old devil?"
Lu Shizhu shook his head immediately: "I must be overthinking it. The old devil only knows how to read books every day and rarely goes out, let alone to such a noisy place."
He frowned and asked Jiang Nuanzhi, "Do you have enough wine to give as gifts?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "That's enough. You can use your bottle first. I'll make you two more jars later."
Upon hearing this, Lü Shizhu immediately wailed, "Ah, no! I hate all the old men in this world! There isn't a single good one among them!"
Amidst Lü Shizhu's constant startling and tormenting, Jiang Nuanzhi also drove her little donkey cart to a stop at the entrance of the academy.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked for Master Du and Ping'er, but neither was there. Finding this strange, she asked Lü Shizhu to go in and inquire. She waited at the door, grabbing a pastry to eat.
"Hey? Look who's here again, looking for Brother Liangchen? Is he bringing you a handkerchief or some food this time?"
Just then, two fat men with big ears walked over and started joking as they looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.
As they approached, one of the taller men looked at Jiang Nuanzhi and his eyes lit up. His gaze swept over her from head to toe, and he exclaimed in surprise, "She really has changed a lot as she grows up! Is this really Madam Jiang? She looks quite different now..."
As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Jiang Nuanzhi's chest several times, his expression gradually becoming lewd.
He even exchanged a glance with the man next to him.
The shorter man next to him gestured with his hand in the air, then burst into knowing laughter.
“Young lady, we’ve noticed that Brother Liangchen never pays attention to you. What did you bring today? Why don’t you let us brothers have a taste? Perhaps we brothers can… hehe…”
One of them was talking while rubbing his hands together, his eyes practically glued to Jiang Nuanzhi's chest.
"Brother Liangchen, look, isn't that Lady Jiang?" Just then, a young man patted Xie Liangchen on the shoulder and pointed into the distance.
Xie Liangchen glanced over instinctively and immediately frowned: "Brother Wu, those beside her... are the Zheng brothers?"
Wu Wenjie nodded: "It really is the Zheng brothers! Those two are always annoying. They're like leeches when they see a girl! But aren't they the ones who dislike Jiang Niangzi the most? They always say they feel disgusted whenever they see her. Why are they hanging around her now?"
Xie Liangchen's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Wu Wenjie frowned as he looked at her: "Should we take a look? Although Jiang Niangzi is a bit ugly, she's still one of your women. We shouldn't let others bully her..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Xie Liangchen was startled. "When...when did she become my concubine? She's already married to someone else. Don't talk such nonsense!"
Wu Wenjie was completely stunned: "Huh? She's not your woman? And she's married?"
Xie Liangchen pursed his lips tightly: "Such words must never be mentioned again."
Wu Wenjie scratched his forehead: "Okay, I understand. So... are we still going or not?"
Xie Liangchen clenched his fists, wanting to go back, but his feet seemed to be out of his control, and he ended up walking over there anyway.
"Stop pretending! You're such a lowly slut who gets rejected even for warming Xie Liangchen's bed. I'm being generous by even speaking to you. Don't be ungrateful."
"Now come forward and lick the mess you made clean. If you serve me well, I might be magnanimous and not hold it against you, hehehe~"
As they spoke, that disgusting gaze fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi once more. The two brothers exchanged a glance, only wanting to step forward and grab her.
At this time, most beauties are delicate and slender, and it's rare to see one as full-figured as her. Before, I only thought she had gained weight, but now I realize she's actually quite voluptuous.
Upon hearing this, Xie Liangchen's face darkened, and he strode forward, shouting, "Shut up!"
However, before he could even get close, the next second, he heard a sickeningly loud sound of a fist colliding with flesh.
A burly man was knocked down by Jiang Nuan's punch and lay on the ground, clutching his face and howling in pain.
One of the Zheng brothers was hit, and the other immediately gritted his teeth: "You little bitch! How dare you be my brother!"
The next second he rushed over, and Jiang Nuanzhi punched the man's disgusting eyes again.
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and punched him hard in the other eye.
The man realized what was happening and immediately covered his face, crying out in pain. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi: "How dare you hit me? Do you know who we are? The Dean's wife is our cousin, and the academy is our territory. If you dare to hit us, you'll regret it today!"
Jiang Nuanzhi squinted as she approached, cracking her wrist.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said, "I'll grant your wish. Didn't you want to see it? This time I'll let you see it clearly up close."
As she spoke, she suddenly lunged forward and dislocated the man's arm. Then, she grabbed his hair and unleashed a barrage of blows on his face.
She finally let out a long sigh of relief after beating him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him: "Hmm, that feels good."
This not only silenced the Zheng brothers, but also left Xie Liangchen and Wu Wenjie, who had wanted to come forward to help, frozen in place, their expressions incredibly varied.
Lu Shizhu, who rushed back in a hurry, was also completely dumbfounded. For a moment, he even forgot how to walk.
