Seeing that Zhao Qingyan was about to leave, Tu Haoyu became anxious and ran forward to grab Zhao Qingyan's sleeve.
Zhao Qingyan turned around and kicked Tu Haoyu several meters away.
The guards were caught off guard by Zhao Qingyan's quick movements and instinctively stepped forward to catch the young master before he fell to the ground.
I was also thrown back several meters by inertia.
After setting Tu Haoyu down and confirming that the young master was unharmed, he looked up and glared angrily at Zhao Qingyan.
"Little girl, having a temper is only good for certain people. You'll suffer if you don't know how to assess situations at such a young age."
Zhao Qingyan sneered.
"Suffer a loss? You will indeed suffer a loss, since your master is the third son of the Vice Minister of Revenue, a high-ranking official of the third rank."
Tu Haoyu, is it? I'd like to ask our County Magistrate Qiu and Lingnan Prefecture Prefect Duan when our Divine Dragon Kingdom came to be surnamed Tu.
This is blocking a respectable woman from leaving the street and insulting her reputation. Is this the kind of behavior a son of an official should have?
Or has the Tu family's power become so great that they can control everything?
Do they even respect the laws of our Divine Dragon Kingdom? Do they even respect our Emperor of the Divine Dragon Kingdom?
Zhao Qingyan's words terrified Tu Haoyu and his guards, and even caused most of the onlookers to disperse.
Tu Haoyu was about to say something when a guard covered his mouth.
"Young lady, you should know what you can and cannot say. Our Tu family has been loyal and virtuous for generations."
My young master is merely a young man who admires you, and he only wishes to befriend you because you are beautiful. Since you have no interest, please proceed.
He gestured for Zhao Qingyan to leave quickly. Zhao Qingyan glanced at the guards again, then got into the carriage and drove away.
Only after the Zhao family carriage was no longer visible did the guards release Tu Haoyu.
"You dog of a servant, why did you stop me just now?"
Tu Haoyu angrily stomped on the guard's foot.
The guard could only endure the pain and pulled Tu Haoyu toward the inn where they would be staying.
Seeing that his struggles were futile, Tu Haoyu gave up resisting.
Once inside the room, Tu Haoyu was about to jump up and down again.
"Young master, I still advise you to give up on that girl. She is not someone you can afford to offend."
Putting everything else aside, just that kick she just gave you—if I hadn't caught it, you would have broken several ribs even if you had fallen.
As for why the young master is uninjured, that's because she was holding back. With a girl like this, does the young master still intend to marry her?
Can the young master bear being beaten eight times a day?
That's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is what that little girl said today.
If you continue to cause trouble, news of today's events will surely reach the capital.
Have you thought about this, young master?
If used properly by your rivals, you could lose your official position at best, and your entire family could be executed at worst. Do you, young master, wish to continue this entanglement?
The guard said very seriously.
Tu Haoyu was caught in a dilemma, "But, but I still like her so much."
The guard closed his eyes, wishing he were dead. Why was he assigned to protect this good-for-nothing? This wasn't a spoiled brat; he was a complete idiot.
What do you like about her?
I've only met you once; you just like pretty girls.
Why don't you come back to the capital with me, young master? There are plenty of beautiful girls, even ten or twenty of them.
I believe that both the old lady and the lady can help the young master find it.
Is your life more important, or a young girl you've only met twice? Didn't that kick hurt?
The guards were specifically there to point out the pain. Tu Haoyu's face turned suspiciously red.
Sitting motionless on the bed.
"Okay, I'll try to let go first. I'm really head over heels in love. You have no idea how fast my heart was pounding."
Whenever I close my eyes, all I see is her image. Tell me, have you ever had a dream like that?
Tu Haoyu winked at the guard.
“I was adopted at a young age and spent all my time practicing martial arts. I was so tired that I would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Where would I get the energy to dream?”
After saying that, the guard ignored Tu Haoyu completely, leaving him tossing and turning on the bed. No matter how much the other man fussed, the guard remained silent.
As Tu Haoyu rolled around, he actually started snoring.
I guess I was really exhausted these past few days, because I slept until very early the next morning.
The guards also sent a message by carrier pigeon back to the Tu family mansion in the capital.
"This unfilial son is causing trouble for me everywhere. It seems I'll be doomed to fall into his hands sooner or later."
Tu Gu was so angry he was practically fuming.
I was recently impeached by my colleagues for no other reason than that my son offended Prince Rui.
Those young ladies who admired Prince Rui were stirring up trouble at home, crying and making a scene at their own fathers.
These adults, whose homes were in turmoil, naturally sought out trouble and vented their anger. And so, they turned to his father, the culprit.
Tu Gu felt wronged, but who told him to act impulsively back then and create this debt collector?
Tu You was furious and angry, but Tu Haoyu in Qingyang County was unaware of it, and Zhao Qingyan, who had already returned to Qingshan Xiaozhu, was even less aware of it.
She doesn't care anyway.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was watching, Zhao Qingyan would have definitely beaten Tu Haoyu to a pulp.
Ultimately, it comes down to their family's social standing not being high enough.
If one's own family had a first- or second-rank official, even one of the same rank as that so-called vice minister, one wouldn't feel so aggrieved.
You have to calculate before you even want to punch someone, wondering if you kicked them too hard or broke a bone. Ugh, so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating.
If Tu Haoyu knew what Zhao Qingyan was thinking now, he would probably regret it for provoking such a shrew.
The sisters returned home, each carrying their spoils to show off to their parents.
Tian Xiaolan picked up her daughter's jewelry one by one and exclaimed in admiration.
"These are all good things. We must treat Sanya better in the future. Look at these things. Even if your mother doesn't know much about them, I know they are worth a lot of money."
Zhao Qinglin and Zhao Qinglian covered their mouths and laughed, not saying how much the items were worth. Otherwise, their mother might have kept them.
They claimed it was "to keep for you, to use as your dowry when you get married."
Zhao Qingyi found Wang Caixia and showed her the two sets of headdresses, bracelets, jade pendants, etc. Wang Caixia was so shocked that her eyes reddened.
"Your third sister really cares about you all. Such nice things, a set must be worth a lot of money, right?"
Wang Caixia asked.
Zhao Qingyi nodded.
"This ruby headdress is worth more than 700 taels of silver, this sapphire headdress is worth more than 800 taels of silver, and this bracelet is also valuable, probably more than 200 taels."
My third sister paid for everything today. She sold a lot of pearls to buy jewelry for us.
They were all things we'd never seen before, and they were huge, about the size of my fingernail.
