Chapter 18 Solution
Liu Haozhe cried out "ouch", covered his right eye socket, and sat down on the ground with a "thump".
But somehow, there was a small stone on the ground, and the coccyx suddenly hit it!
"Ah, it hurts so much!" Liu Haozhe was stunned for a moment, then he howled: "You bunch of damn slaves, why don't you help me up quickly, Ouch..."
Qingying and Qingzhi protected Shimi on the side. When Qingzhi saw Yuan Ziyu knocking everyone over, she couldn't help but wave her fist excitedly and said, "Second Miss, you're amazing! Great beating!"
Shi Mi was shocked by Yuan Ziyu, and looked at him with gratitude and admiration.
Seeing this, the group of servants lying on the ground and wailing ignored their own pain and struggled forward to help Liu Haozhe up!
"You...you hit me!" Liu Haozhe covered his right eye socket with one hand and his coccyx with the other, looking at Yuan Ziyu in disbelief!
"Don't you want to settle the score with us?" Yuan Ziyu swung the whip in his hand, making Liu Haozhe and the servants tremble with fear.
"Hmph, forget it. I'm a man and I don't want to fight with a woman! Let's go!" Liu Haozhe knew that he would not get any advantage today, so he wanted to retreat.
"Wait!" Yuan Ziyu swung the whip on the ground, scaring Liu Haozhe and the servants so much that they almost jumped up!
"I've already told you I won't bother with you anymore, you...what else do you want?" Liu Haozhe was regretting it so much. If he had known that he would meet such an unlucky star today, he would never have left the house no matter what.
"You don't mind, but I do!" Yuan Ziyu waved at Qingying and the other two, "Come here!"
"Yes, Second Miss!" Qingying responded, and then pulled Shi Mi and Qingzhi over!
"Miss, I just heard something about compensation of fifty taels or five hundred taels. What's going on?" Yuan Ziyu asked Shi Mi!
Seeing Yuan Ziyou asking, Shi Mi knew she wanted to help her, so she told him the whole story: "Two days ago, I accidentally broke the jade bottle in that man's hand on the street. He asked for fifty taels of silver as compensation. I couldn't afford it, so he negotiated with me to give me some time. But we had clearly agreed on it, and today this young man brought people to stop me and insisted that I pay him five hundred taels of silver, otherwise he would take me back home!"
As Shi Mi spoke, she pointed her finger at a servant behind Liu Haozhe!
Yuan Ziyou sneered and pointed at the servant: "You, come out!"
The servant couldn't help but shudder, glanced at Liu Haozhe, and walked out timidly. He looked at the whip in Yuan Ziyu's hand and felt the wound on his body hurt even more!
He smiled and said, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Tell me what happened!" Yuan Ziyu didn't waste any words and looked at the boy coldly!
"That's...that's what happened. She broke the jade bottle, so she has to pay compensation. It's only natural!" The servant said the last few words without any confidence!
"What a natural thing!" Yuan Ziyou sneered: "How much silver is that jade bottle worth?"
The servant couldn't help but look at Liu Haozhe, and was glared at by Liu Haozhe!
The servant thought for a moment and said, "Five...five hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels!" Yuan Ziyou looked at the servant. "She wants compensation. So, where's the broken jade bottle?"
"Ah, that jade bottle!" The servant couldn't help but look at Liu Haozhe again!
Liu Haozhe was so angry at this idiot that he shouted, "What are you looking at me for?"
The servant was scolded by Liu Haozhe and had no choice but to respond: "Throw it away!"
"Throw it away?" Yuan Ziyou sneered, "Is that jade bottle yours?"
"That... is..." The servant was a little hesitant to respond, his heart was beating fast.
"How could you, a house slave, get such a precious jade bottle?" Yuan Ziyu placed the whip in his palm and tapped it gently.
The servant looked terrified: "Ah... no..."
Liu Haozhe was almost pissed off by this idiot. Why couldn't he adapt to the situation? So he quickly said, "I gave it to you as a reward. Is there a problem with that?"
"This young master is so generous!" Yuan Ziyu looked at Liu Haozhe with a smile: "Five hundred taels of jade bottle, just give it as a reward!"
"Hmph, if it's your business, I'm willing!" Liu Haozhe said bravely.
"I really don't care what you reward me with!" Yuan Ziyu's lips curled up, looking at Liu Haozhe's smug face, and then continued: "However, five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. Since we have to pay it, the emperor has the final say! How about this, we go to Jingzhao Yin and ask the prefect to make a fair decision?"
"No... no, what!" Liu Haozhe gritted his teeth secretly. Going to Jingzhao Yin? If he went to Jingzhao Yin, what happened today would definitely reach his father's ears. By then, he would lose face and would not be able to get away with it.
"Don't dare to go?" Seeing Liu Haozhe's expression, Yuan Ziyu guessed what he was thinking: "You don't dare to ask the prefect for judgment, but you ask for five hundred taels of silver with empty words. You even want to rob a decent woman in the street. You really have a lot of power!"
"I... I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Liu Haozhe wanted to slip away quickly. He didn't want to make things known to Jingzhao Yin.
"Go?" Yuan Ziyu swung a whip in front of Liu Haozhe, startling him so much that he jumped up and his tailbone was pulled, causing him to grimace in pain!
Yuan Ziyou snorted coldly, "Either we go to Jingzhao Yin and ask the prefect to make a clear judgment today. We will pay you every penny of compensation. Or, let this matter be written off once and for all. You are not allowed to ask this girl for money again! There are two paths. Choose one!"
Liu Haozhe looked at Yuan Ziyu with hatred, feeling aggrieved, but he had to compromise: "Alright, alright, let's write off this matter and we'll have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Okay, that's what you said, young master. Don't go back on your word next time. If I find out that you're embarrassing this girl again, I'll file a complaint with the Jingzhao Yin!"
"You're so cruel!" Liu Haozhe gave Yuan Ziyu a deep look and waved his hand in hatred: "Let's go!"
He turned to look at the crowd, his anger seemed to have found an outlet: "What are you looking at? How dare you watch me have fun? Are you tired of living?"
When everyone heard this, they scattered like birds and beasts, fearing that Liu Haozhe would hold a grudge against them and bring them more misfortune.
The servant helped Liu Haozhe walk away slowly, and heard Liu Haozhe wailing non-stop: "Ouch, slow down, you bunch of damn slaves!"
"Thank you, young lady!" Shi Mi hurried forward and bowed to Yuan Ziyu: "If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid I would..."
When Shi Mi thought about what she might encounter, she felt a chill in her heart. If that were really the case, she would be helpless!
"It's just something that comes to mind!" Yuan Ziyou smiled. Turning around, he saw the things scattered on the ground. His expression changed. "Are these books all yours?"
