Qin Yongde also laughed: "That's right, the Chu family has already expelled him from the family, and Chu Yan has nothing to do with him anymore, so there is indeed no need to help him."
"Although this guy looks frivolous, he does have some skills," Qin Guangyuan said, taking a sip of tea. "I overheard Grandpa and Father talking about how he seems to have ruined the Prince of Qi's plans. It's best not to get close to him at this time."
"It's hard to imagine that the plans of Prince Qi and my grandfather were ruined by this kid." Qin Yongde sighed repeatedly. In his mind, Prince Qi was someone important, and his grandfather's generation was someone he didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of. He could only bow his head and listen to their lectures. How could this kid compete with them and even seem to have caused them a great loss?
"The Emperor must have other plans; he's just someone who's been pushed to the forefront." Qin Guangyuan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over, this was the most convincing reason.
While the two brothers decided to stand aside, another private room was also bustling with activity. A group of people said to a young man in the main seat, "Young Master Bi, that's the newly appointed Green Hat Duke An down there. I wonder what he did to offend Yi Zhibing. There's going to be a good show."
The young man surrounded by admirers was handsome, with a high nose that was hooked at the tip. Combined with his thin lips and narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, he appeared somewhat cold and ruthless.
The young man stood up and said, "Let's go down and take a look."
The others were startled: "Young Master Bi, why are you suddenly getting involved in this kind of thing?"
The young man laughed and said, "This Zu'an is my sister's loyal dog. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This guy surnamed Yi is too arrogant."
The others laughed and said, "Young Master Bi is indeed considerate of his subordinates. Let's go teach Yi Zhibing a lesson."
A group of people, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, got up and joined in the fun.
This young man was naturally Bi Linglong's older brother, Bi Zi'ang, the eldest son of the Bi family.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Gao Ying and Pei You were blocking the constables, and the situation between the two sides was about to break out.
What a joke! They invited Zu An over, and now they have to rely on him to even get in the door. They've already lost enough face. If they get kicked out in front of so many people, they'll never be able to show their faces in the capital again.
Yi Zhibing's face darkened: "What, you want to openly offend the constables? That's a serious crime."
Gao Ying and Pei You's expressions shifted between light and dark, clearly indicating that the charge could be serious or minor, but given the circumstances, they couldn't worry about that now.
Just as Zu'an was about to step forward and say something, a loud laugh suddenly came from the side: "What's going on here? Why is it so lively?"
Yu Nan, who was watching the commotion from the second floor, froze in awe when she saw this scene.
On the other side, Qin Yongde couldn't help but snort: "Zu An has indeed completely sided with the Crown Prince. He's not allowed to set foot in our Qin family again!"
Zuan curiously sized up the other party. He saw that the leader was quite handsome, but he gave people an uncomfortable feeling. The phrase "wolf's gaze and eagle's eyes" suddenly popped into his mind. Yes, that was the feeling. It made people subconsciously wary.
Yi Zhibing was originally very pleased with himself. After all, he had rendered the two young men from the Liu and Pei families powerless and furious in front of so many people, making him seem like the focus and protagonist of the scene.
However, upon seeing the newcomer, his expression changed, and his imposing manner weakened by three points: "So it's Young Master Bi. What brings you here?"
Bi Ziang said with a smile, "You're making things difficult for my people here, how could I not come over?"
Zuan raised an eyebrow and said, "When did we become your people?"
Yi Zhibing was in a bit of a headache. If it were any other day, he would definitely give the other party some face and not make things difficult for Zu An and the others. But he had just thumped his chest loudly at Yu Nan. What would it look like to go back now?
So he could only bite the bullet and say, "Young Master Bi, you misunderstand. I was not trying to make things difficult for anyone. It was just for the safety of today's banquet that I asked them to check the name cards of the guests. Everyone's name cards will be checked. There is no targeting of them."
Upon hearing this, Bi Zi'ang's smile vanished instantly: "I was going to give you some face, but since you don't want it, then don't blame me. Since you insist on bringing up official rules, then I'll have to ask you carefully: what official position do you hold? Did you give the order to mobilize the constables from the capital to maintain order today?"
Yi Zhibing broke out in a cold sweat: "It's...it's my father who was worried that there were too many people here, so he sent people to maintain order."
He was just an ordinary person, and he could naturally order these constables around because of his father's connections, but strictly speaking, this was a violation of regulations.
"Oh, so it's Lord Yi. May I ask if Lord Yi reported his actions to the court today, and if there is any official reply from the court? You must know that this is a place of pleasure after all. Sending court constables to maintain order in a brothel will inevitably lead to gossip among the people who will accuse him of abusing public power." Bi Zi'ang's questions came one after another, each hitting the nail on the head.
"This...this..." Yi Zhibing kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, unsure how to answer. He had taken it upon himself to bring people over today. Although his father knew, he hadn't taken it too seriously. If he were to be investigated, his actions today might cause his father to lose his official position.
He secretly regretted that he had volunteered to try and make a name for himself. Zuan was indeed a jinx; anyone who got involved with him was bound to suffer.
Just as they were caught in a dilemma, Yu Nan's calm voice came from upstairs: "Since Young Master Bi has come out to vouch for them, they will naturally have no problems. Come up here."
Yi Zhibing felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He hurriedly smiled a few words at Bi Ziang and then fled as if he were escaping.
