Chapter 41 Xu Wan is on his side again
Xu Wan walked over calmly and saw that the people from the Marquis' Mansion had surrounded the Zhai family.
The originally unfavorable situation was reversed in an instant!
"Who dares to touch Jincheng without the permission of our Marquis' Mansion?" The woman's words were sonorous and powerful, and she was justified as when she bullied him in the past, but this time the tip of the knife was pointed at outsiders.
This was the second time Xu Wan stood on his side.
Zong Jincheng's heart was as excited as thousands of horses galloping, and his chest was filled with warmth, but the arrogant little girl did not want to admit it. She just turned her face away and deliberately didn't look at her.
When Butler Zhai saw the person in charge had arrived, he immediately ordered them to stop, and all the thugs on both sides stopped.
"Madam Zong, your son Jincheng suddenly came to our house and beat up our young master. We must settle this account!"
Zong Jincheng didn't bother to explain and yelled back, "You still want to settle accounts with us? I beat up that bastard Zhai Yao, and it's not light. If you hadn't stopped me, I could have beaten him for a while!"
"You!" Steward Zhai said angrily, "Madam Zong, what do you think about this matter? Our master and his wife don't know about it yet, otherwise this matter will never be resolved peacefully!"
Shunzi explained on behalf of his master, "Madam, it was Master Zhai Yao who kicked the old man over, and Master Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action!"
Xu Wan followed the direction of his gaze and saw Grandpa Zhao being supported by a frightened man, his face full of pain.
She understood immediately, and said to Butler Zhai, "Jin Cheng may be irrational, but it was your Master Zhai who was wrong first. Moreover, they are both eight or nine years old. It is normal for children to fight with each other. But you, Butler Zhai, made a big deal out of it and besieged our grandson with a hundred people. What is your intention?"
Zong Jincheng was stunned listening to this.
How come when she said this, it became the Zhai family's fault?
No, it was the Zhai family’s fault in the first place, she is right!
The little devil, who had originally prepared himself to be punished, suddenly became confident, as if he had a big backer, which made Shunzi's mouth twitch.
This lady...why does she feel like Master Cheng's new backer in disguise?
Although he opposed Master Cheng in everything, they were always on the same page in external matters.
Butler Zhai was a seasoned man after all, and was not easily fooled by Xu Wan. He said in a cold voice, "It seems that Madam Zong is deliberately playing dumb. Well, then we will go back to the mansion and report to the old master and the lady, and let them judge in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"You can go ahead." Xu Wan smiled, "But I have to remind you to think carefully about why Zhai Yao was punished by His Highness? Why was Zhai Yao beaten by Jin Cheng this time? Don't complain and get another beating."
Xu Wan's words were sincere.
Based on her understanding of the prince, Zhai Yao is likely to be punished again.
"Don't worry about that, Madam Zong. We in the Zhai family will take care of it!" Steward Zhai said to the servants, "Take the young master back to the mansion to see the doctor!"
"Stop!" Two guards sent by the Eastern Palace suddenly said, "The Crown Prince has ordered that no one is allowed to take Zhai Yao away."
When Butler Zhai saw the two of them jumping out at this time, he was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood!
He shouted angrily: "You are responsible for watching over my young master, but why didn't you stop Zong Jincheng from beating him like that?!"
The guard said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never issued such an order."
"You! You guys!" Butler Zhai spat out a mouthful of blood and was completely blinded by anger.
Even Xu Wan couldn't help but hold her forehead.
The guards in the East Palace really have their own personalities.
According to common sense, under such circumstances, they would at least try to send a message to the East Palace to report.
In the end, these two brothers did nothing...
It almost makes people wonder if they are just slacking off.
However, this question was soon answered. Xu Wan took Zong Jincheng back home to apply medicine. Just after applying the medicine, they heard Cui Liu reporting the progress of the news.
"Madam, the old master and his wife of the Zhai family really went to the East Palace to complain."
"Huh? And then?" Xu Wan was curious.
The little devil also leaned over to want to know what would happen next.
Cui Liu paused for a few seconds and said, "Then she was refused an audience by the Crown Princess."
"Pfft..." Xu Wan was the first to laugh.
The Little Devil, Zong Wenxiu and the others also started laughing. Even Shunzi and Cuizhi were covering their mouths and laughing secretly.
Xu Wan said with a smile: "The Crown Princess is really unique. I think she has a very gentle personality, but every time she plays the role of offending people, she is the model of a virtuous wife."
Cui Liu said, "The Crown Princess's original words were that His Royal Highness was not in good health, and asked the Zhai family not to bother His Royal Highness with such trivial matters. The Zhai couple did not even see the Crown Prince, let alone the Crown Prince."
Xu Wan nodded and said, "That's good. It will save Zhai Yao from being punished too severely. The Zhai couple will really become desperate and do something desperate."
Zong Jincheng suddenly interjected: "But Zhai Yao really deserves a beating."
Zong Wenxiu also nodded in agreement, which was rare.
Xu Wan smiled and launched a violent attack on the little devil: "You really are worthy of being the four little dandies of the capital."
Zong Jincheng: “!”
The friendship boat capsized in less than half a day!
Until the next day when he went to Qingbo Academy to check his grades, the little devil was still sitting in the carriage glaring at people angrily.
The kid was not lying here and there like a boneless man as usual. Now he was sitting upright, trying his best to kill the woman in the car with his eyes.
Xu Wan still looked like she was teasing a child, and said provocatively, "Boy, I hope you still have the energy to glare at me after seeing the results later."
Zong Jincheng snorted coldly, "I am very confident in my own strength! I will make sure you and those two lose so badly that you won't be able to raise your heads!"
"Boasting." Xu Wan commented objectively.
Zong Wenxiu also secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.
In the entire mansion, only the lady dared to say such words. Anyone else, including himself, would be afraid that they would be chased and beaten by their younger brother after saying them.
Zong Jincheng was furious and helpless: "You are so annoying! We are going to see the results, why are you following us?"
Xu Wan said, "Oh," and said as a matter of course, "Of course I want to see you blow your own trumpet in person."
"Puff..." Zong Wenxiu couldn't help but break his concentration. He covered his eyes with one hand, trying to reduce his presence.
Zong Jincheng was so angry that his teeth itched, and he said harshly: "Then I really thank you for your concern for me!"
"You're welcome. This is what I should do as a mother." Xu Wan is a warm-hearted person who is willing to make people angry to death without mercy.
Zong Jincheng snorted and squeezed towards Zong Wenxiu, as if he wanted to stay eight feet away from Xu Wan.
After Xu Wan finished teasing the little devil, she calmly said to Zong Wenxiu, "This is just a test to assess your abilities. Although you study very hard every day, the time is too short. So it's normal even if you can't beat others. Don't feel bad about it. Just try again next time."
