Chapter 20: Do I have to choose the right day to beat you?
Second Master Su looked at Su Luo in disbelief, but he did not lose his temper immediately. Instead, he said to the Regent, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry to have embarrassed you. My niece is so stubborn and rude. It's really shameful. Since she calls me uncle, I will fulfill my uncle's responsibilities."
"Uncle will teach you what it means to be a human being." Master Su stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted angrily, "What's wrong with giving the Regent a few books?"
He raised his hand and slapped Su Luo, "How dare you disrespect your elders and slap your uncle? You are really capable! You are so unfilial and disobedient!"
When the slap was about to land on Su Luo's face, Zhou Yan stood in front of Su Luo.
Mo Jin, who was about to get up, changed his sitting position and pretended nothing had happened.
This slap was so hard that it burned Zhou Yan's heart.
No one had slapped Zhou Yan in the face for many years, not to mention that he was a fourth-rank deputy general.
He was silent for a moment. Either he exploded in silence or he died in silence, but Zhou Yan was definitely not the latter.
Master Su looked at his hand, which trembled a little, and took a half step back...
He shook his head frantically, shaking it like a rattle. "No, I didn't mean to hit the prince. I was just teaching my niece a lesson as an elder."
When Su Luo slapped him, Jiang Zhou was so angry that he made such a big mistake...
"Is there any difference between teaching the Crown Princess a lesson and teaching the Crown Prince a lesson?"
Zhou Yan's rage was growing rapidly. He grabbed Second Master Su by the collar and punched him hard, leaving him with a bruise on the face. "Second uncle, that slap was really powerful. Are you trying to smack the Crown Prince's wife's head off?"
Jiang Zhou, who enjoyed watching the fun, secretly covered his mouth and tried to hold back his laughter.
It is not known whether Mr. Su wanted to blow Su Luo's head off, but the prince almost blown Mr. Su's head off.
Master Su's face was bruised and swollen. He hurriedly retreated and hid behind a pillar: "Master, calm down. I really didn't mean it..."
Zhou Yan chased him around the pillar. Master Su hurriedly hid behind Su Luo and begged, "Niece, please persuade the prince. I am your uncle after all, and the only brother of your father who died in battle. Even if it's for your father's sake, you have to persuade the prince..."
"Young Master." Su Luo couldn't help but speak out.
A simple hope appeared on Mr. Su's face!
Zhou Yan rubbed his wrist: "Don't try to persuade me."
Su Luo couldn't help but say, "My Lord, please continue. Don't worry. Although he is my uncle, it is an indisputable fact that he offended you. He deserves to be taught a lesson. Let him know the difference between respect and inferiority."
"That's good." Zhou Yan grabbed him and punched him twice!
Mr. Su was beaten unconscious and held in his hands like a puppet.
Qin Shu screamed and fell to her knees, "He's been beaten to death! He's been beaten to death! Just because you're the prince, do you think you can take someone's life so lightly?"
"You'll get beaten even if you pretend to be unconscious." Zhou Yan waved his fist, scaring Mr. Su so much that he quickly opened his eyes.
Zhou Yan let go of Su Erye's wrinkled collar, and Su Erye fell directly to the ground, like a scarecrow beaten to pieces, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Mo Jin tapped the armrest with his fingers, enjoying this farce.
Isn’t it more exciting than singing opera?
Su Luo said regretfully, "Second Uncle, it's not that I didn't try to stop him, I just couldn't. The prince is a general in the army and can kill a cow with one punch. You could have just hit me, but why bother slapping him? You're asking for a beating."
Master Su covered his face in pain, his expression broken and painful, his heart filled with resentment...
He cursed in his heart: "You damn girl! As soon as the prince leaves, I will deal with you two, an orphan and a widow, sooner or later!"
Su Luo bit her lip and lowered her head: "My Lord, my uncle is glaring at me... I'm a little scared..."
Zhou Yan grabbed Su Luo's hand, pulled it behind him to stop her, and glared back at Mr. Su.
Mr. Su's face immediately changed from resentment to a smile: "I'm not waiting, I just have a bit of scum in my eyes."
"That's good." Zhou Yan sneered.
Su Luo wrapped the silk around her fingertips and spun it around and around.
Yun Xueya stepped forward awkwardly and said honestly, "Since the prince and the young master are here, and everyone is here, it's not too late. Let's have lunch together."
Mr. Su nodded nervously and awkwardly.
Mr. Su Erye's face was sweet at being able to dine with the Regent, but he was happy and vain in his heart. When he turned around, he could brag to his neighbors and friends that he had dined with the Regent.
Looking around the world, how many people can dine with the prince?
Thinking of this, Mr. Su's heart swelled again, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
During the meal, everyone at the table had their own thoughts, feeling unnatural and nervous. Even Zhou Yan felt something was wrong.
Su Luo ate the most delicious food. She had been craving the braised lion's head and osmanthus cheese from the General's Mansion for a long time.
The feeling of starving to death in her previous life was so painful that when she returned to the General's Mansion, she tried to control herself but failed. She ate several plates of braised lion's head by herself. Finally, she covered her stomach, wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to the nanny in an embarrassed manner:
"No need to add more food."
When Su Luo turned around, she was surprised to find that everyone was staring at her.
Mo Jin used his chopsticks for a few times in an elegant and noble manner and then finished his meal. A hint of surprise appeared in his deep and cold eyes as he glanced at her.
Su Luo twisted her clothes and lowered her head with a red face.
Zhou Yan, who was sitting next to Mo Jin, thought she was being embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "It's okay. Being able to eat is a blessing."
“…”Su Luo.
When they were halfway through the meal, the housekeeper hurriedly came forward with a serious expression, leading the Zhou family servant.
Zhou Yan's smile disappeared, and the servant stepped forward and whispered in a very low voice, "My cousin's daughter is in trouble."
"Bang!" Zhou Yan stood up suddenly and walked quickly outside. The next moment, he turned back and bowed hurriedly to Yun Xueya, "Please forgive me, mother-in-law, there's an emergency in the army!"
As he turned to leave, Mo Jin picked up his jade chopsticks and tapped the edge of the bowl out of boredom, making a crisp sound. "Why didn't I hear about any emergency with the Fubingwei?"
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, Mo Jin is in charge of all state affairs. Logically, he should report to Mo Jin.
The crisp sound of the bowl knocking made Zhou Yan's heart skip a beat. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "A soldier who is extremely important to me has been seriously injured."
In short, we have to leave.
"Call the imperial physician." Mo Jin glanced at Qin Zhengyu.
"No need." Zhou Yan said.
Qin Zhengyu smiled and interrupted him: "Your Highness is too polite. Why not? The people of the Imperial Guard are both your Majesty's subjects and soldiers. The Regent has always been sympathetic to the soldiers and loves them like his own sons..."
"Really, that's not necessary."
Zhou Yan seemed to be afraid that Qin Zhengyu would catch up with him, so he turned around and left in a hurry, eager to get rid of him. After leaving the general's mansion, he didn't even get in the carriage, but rode away directly.
Qin Zhengyu looked at Mo Jin, as if asking if he wanted to follow.
Mo Jin didn't say anything, which meant there was no need to follow. However, the way everyone looked at Su Luo at the table changed.
I thought Su Luo was favored by the prince, but even though she went back home, she ran away halfway without even eating?
How pitiful!
A woman like this, whose husband ran away on her wedding night and ran away again at the return party, who has no backing and whose family is in decline, will have a very miserable life in the future.
Master Su snorted softly, and wait and see how he will deal with this little girl later!
As if she had noticed the subtlety of the situation at the dinner table, Yun Xueya's face looked very embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Mo Jin picked up a piece of braised lion's head with chopsticks and put it towards the opposite side...
Mr. Su, Jiangzhou, Qin Shu, and Yun Yiyi all widened their eyes. Who was the Regent picking up the braised lion's head with his chopsticks for?
