Chapter 202: Hitting the Face
Zhao Jue looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed his collar. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce look on his face.
He was not short, but the person in front of him was two inches taller than him.
Zhao Jue vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of him. Today, Princess Zhenbei and her sons came to the Duke's Mansion together.
The person who deliberately came to cause trouble must be one of Shen Qingtan's brothers.
I came here specifically to vent Shen Qingtan's anger.
"My dear, Zhao didn't mean to..."
"That's intentional." Shen Lue's veins popped up on his hands as he punched Zhao Jue in the face: "This fist of mine, as big as a sandbag, will open your eyes."
His punches were swift, as fast as lightning.
Zhao Jue only had time to turn his head to dodge, and the fist, wrapped in a strong wind, hit his cheekbone hard, causing severe pain.
He just felt as if his bones were broken and his brain was concussed.
Before he could react, he was punched in the eye again, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to explode.
Shen Lue showed no mercy. When he thought of this scum deceiving his sister's feelings, he wanted to twist off the bastard's head.
Thinking of this, Shen Lue became furious, and each punch became more fierce than the last.
Zhao Jue groaned in pain and subconsciously wanted to fight back. The moment he attacked, he clenched his fists and did not resist.
If he fights back, he will probably end up with serious injuries.
The young men of the Zhenbei Palace are strong, brave and courageous.
The boss is brave, resourceful, calm and steady.
The second brother carries a sword with him, looks unconventional, and likes to play dirty tricks.
The third brother is good at fighting, but he is impulsive and irritable, and has no strategy.
Zhao Jue had already guessed that the person in front of him was the third son of the Zhenbei Palace.
He took a few punches, which made Shen Lue vent his anger.
If my grandfather comes forward then the palace won't come after him.
If he took action and hurt Shen Lue, there was no telling how this barbarian would frame him.
Shen Lue swept across with one leg, and Zhao Jue felt pain in his knee and fell to the ground.
Zhao Jue's brain exploded, his mind went blank, and a feeling of humiliation surged in his heart. His fists clenched until they made a crackling sound. He suddenly stood up and punched Chen Lue.
Shen Lue dodged sideways and clasped Zhao Jue's arm with his five fingers.
Zhao Jue's face was gloomy. Shen Lue's arm strength was amazing. He held his arm tightly like a pair of pliers, and he couldn't break free at all.
"No way, a dignified General Wude only has this little bit of skill?" Chen Lue sneered and said something heartbreaking: "No wonder the Duke supports your second wife's illegitimate son and is unwilling to promote you, the legitimate grandson."
This sentence hit Zhao Jue's sore spot, so his grandfather dismissed him from his post and let his eldest brother take the vacancy.
"I'll show you a clear path. If the Cheng'en Marquisate falls, you can sell your wife for fame." Shen Lue mocked, "Marry a girl from a wealthy family and let your Yue family promote you."
Zhao Jue had never suffered such humiliation before. When he felt Shen Lue's contemptuous look, his suppressed anger was about to erupt when he saw Shen Lue approaching.
"Stay away from my sister. If you dare to haunt her again, I will make you regret coming into this world."
Shen Lue looked at Zhao Jue, who was beaten black and blue, and felt relieved: "Let's stop here for today."
He shook off Zhao Jue's arm and strode towards the front hall.
When Zhao Jue heard the word "exchange", his expression twisted and the wound on his face tugged, causing him to gasp in pain.
If he goes to the Duke again about Shen Lue beating him, the Duke will not only not help him, but will also make him look incompetent.
Zhao Jue took note of Shen Lue in his heart, and walked towards Qingyun Garden with a gloomy aura all over his body.
On the way, he met the second wife with a pale face.
"Jue'er!" The Second Madam rushed to Zhao Jue and saw that he was beaten black and blue. She was anxious and distressed: "Who beat you?"
Zhao Jue pursed his lips: "The youngest son of the King of Zhenbei."
The Second Madam's expression changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This barbarian, when he hits someone, why does he only hit the face?"
She was angry and resentful: "How can you go to see people?"
Zhao Jue's face became increasingly gloomy, and he left without saying a word.
The second wife looked at Zhao Jue's departing back, her eyes hardening.
The people from the Zhenbei Palace are too arrogant.
He dared to beat someone up on the Duke's Mansion's territory.
She finally realized that her family had become enemies with the Zhenbei Palace.
The second wife decided not to sit and wait for death anymore, and she turned around and prepared to go back to her parents' home.

Shen Lue walked back along the way he came, and after going around and around, he didn't know where he was, and stopped at three forked roads.
He looked around and saw pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds everywhere, but no servants in sight.
Shen Lue scratched the back of his head, wondering which way to go.
In that case—
Shen Lue picked up a stone and threw it hard towards the fork in the road.
Leave the difficult choice to God.
The small stone fell in an arc, hit Zhao Yi's head with a "bang", and rolled to the ground.
Shen Lue's eyes widened.
Zhao Yi, who had just come out of the Moon Gate, stopped and looked at Shen Lue with his dark eyes.
Shen Lue: "..."
Zhao Yi: “…”
"Brother, are you okay?" Shen Lue glanced at Zhao Yi's head guiltily and scratched his face. "I was skipping a stone on the water, but I used too much force and the stone flew out."
Zhao Yi glanced at the stones at his feet, then at the pond a few feet away, and finally looked up at Shen Lue and shook his head: "I'm fine."
Before Shen Lue came to Beijing, he heard that the children of aristocratic families were very aloof and would never give in to others even if they were right.
His comrades advised him to control his temper in the capital and not to offend the children of the aristocratic families, as their military eloquence could not compare to that of the scholars.
When they get angry, they throw punches, and the weak opponent won't be able to withstand it. Isn't that causing trouble?
Now that he saw that Zhao Yi was hit on the head by him, not only was he not angry, he also did not hold him responsible, so he felt that there were also reasonable people among the children of aristocratic families.
"Brother, this is my first time in the Duke's Mansion." Chen Lue was carefree. Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't care, he put the matter behind him and asked, "Which way is the front hall?"
Zhao Yi was silent for a moment, then realized that Shen Lue had just thrown a stone to test the waters.
The question hit his head.
"Go to the end of this road and turn right." Zhao Yi pointed behind Shen Lue.
"Thanks, brother, you're quite a nice guy." Shen Lue introduced himself: "My last name is Shen, and my given name is Lue, which means great talent and strategy. I'm the third child in the family, so you can call me Shen San. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me for help."
Without waiting for Zhao Yi to speak, Shen Lue left in a hurry, anxious to see his sister.
Near the front hall, Shen Lue took out the wooden box hidden behind the water tank and wiped the water droplets on it with his sleeve.
"Third brother." Chen Du stood behind Shen Lue, looking at his dirty sleeves, frowning: "Mother is looking for you, where have you been?"
Chen Lue jumped back in shock and hid the box in his sleeve: "Brother, I heard that the Third Master in the mansion is very skilled in martial arts. I'm itching to practice martial arts, so I went to find him to spar with him."
Chen Du asked, "Who won?"
"Needless to say?" Shen Lue raised his eyebrows complacently: "I've made him look a lot thicker."
"Well done." Chen Du added, "We can't tarnish the reputation of the Zhenbei Palace."
