Chapter 334 Zhao Lingmeng Returns to Yuanjing to Rescue the Baby
By the time Zhao Houjing and his friends had finished their whole-grain steamed buns and cabbage soup, Zhao Lingmeng and his friends had already entered Jingzhao Prefecture.
When Lord Li, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, heard the report from his subordinates, he went out to greet the person in person.
"I wonder if Princess Funing has come to visit. Is there anything I can do for you?" Lord Li trembled as he sat on the chair below, looking at Princess Funing, who was sitting at the top, drinking tea. He was very confused as to what had brought this ancestor here again.
Zhao Lingmeng took a leisurely sip of Master Li's fine tea, then smiled at him. "My useless son is said to have been fighting with Yang Chengsong, the grandson of Prince Kang Qi. I heard that only my son was imprisoned?"
"Ah?" Lord Li, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was so shocked that he stood up with sweat pouring down his face.
"I really didn't know that man was the eldest young master of the Princess's family, otherwise I wouldn't have done this." He kicked the advisor next to him and said, "Why don't you go and invite our eldest young master Zhao out."
At this moment, Lord Li hated the short-sighted guy next to him. Why was he standing there instead of letting the person go?
After kicking the advisor next to him, Lord Li immediately looked at Zhao Lingmeng in a flattering manner, "Your Highness, please have some tea first. I promise that your son will not lose a single hair. And Your Highness, please do not go to such a dirty place."
Zhao Lingmeng nodded obediently. She didn't have to go to that kind of place. As long as she could get out, it was fine.
"I also know that Lord Li is in a difficult situation, and I will not make it difficult for you."
Lord Li quickly put the snake on the stick and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Princess."
"Don't thank me yet. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just arrest that brat Yang Chengsong and lock him up for a day and a night. Remember to offer the same conditions!"
"Your Highness..." Lord Li silently asked himself in his heart at this time, why hasn't he retired yet?
"You can't just lock up my own child when two kids are fighting!"
Lord Li could only look for help at Lord Fan who was sitting across from him. Lord Fan, facing Lord Li's pleading gaze, said something that made Lord Li despair: "I also think the princess is right."
When Lord Li heard Lord Fan say the same thing, he began to sweat even more. He lifted his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his face vigorously. "Your Highness will do it in a moment!"
Lord Li could only pray silently in his heart that Prince Kang Qi was a good person to talk to. Otherwise, his life would be in danger. If he had known earlier, he would have applied for a transfer.
Zhao Lingmeng nodded without comment. She was not in a hurry.
However, Zhao Lingmeng and Lord Li both grumbled about Prince Kang Qi's shamelessness. Before Zhao Lingmeng even met Zhao Houjing, Prince Kang Qi had already received the news that his grandson had taken Princess Funing's eldest son to Jingzhao Prefecture. He immediately brought his grandson to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Prince Kang Qi was able to react so quickly because he was one of the few people who knew Zhao Lingmeng's true identity. He knew it the moment Zhao Lingmeng entered Yuanjing City at this peculiar time. So, he couldn't help but wonder why the princess was so anxious to return at this time.
As a result, Prince Kang Qi never expected that it was his grandson who called this busy man back.
At that time, he just wanted to beat up this grandson, who was always causing trouble. If he delayed the princess's important business, he would definitely skin this bastard.
Prince Kang Qi glared at the troublemaker Yang Chengsong and said, "Do you know what to say later?"
Yang Chengsong nodded hurriedly, "Call me auntie first when we meet, and then I'll apologize and let you handle it."
After Yang Chengsong finished speaking, he leaned against the carriage dejectedly, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if he had known that he was Aunt Funing's son, he would have let it go. After all, they were equally matched in a fight and no one would suffer.
However, it seems that the man said that he was Aunt Funing's son, but he did not believe it. This taught Yang Chengsong a lesson in his future life as a playboy: don't just judge by appearances.
Prince Kang Qi looked at Yang Chengsong with great disdain, and said calmly: "It would be your good fortune if you could marry your Aunt Funing."
Yang Chengsong assumed his grandfather wanted him to marry Aunt Funing because of that boy, Yang Chengchen. That boy was not his kind; to be more precise, he hated other people's children. So he quickly declined, "No, that's not necessary. My grandson is not worthy."
Yang Chengsong's attitude of being afraid of getting dirty made Prince Kang Qi so angry that he wanted to stop the car and beat the guy to death, calling him "idiot" in his heart.
"If you can't coax your Aunt Funing today, you don't have to go back to Prince Kangqi's Mansion."
Yang Chengsong looked at his grandfather's face, which was so angry that his beard was sticking out, and could only nod sullenly, "Grandson, I understand."
On Zhao Lingmeng's side, Lord Li's capable advisor had already arrived at the cell. When he opened the cell door, Dong Mian and Huai Qing immediately stood in front of Zhao Houjing, looking at this man vigilantly.
Upon seeing this, the legal advisor immediately took a few steps towards Zhao Houjing with a broad smile on his face. "Young Master Zhao, I'm truly sorry. It's all because we, the humble ones, failed to recognize Mount Tai. A flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members no longer recognize each other. Please forgive my mistakes and forget this! The princess is here to pick you up. Please come this way!"
Zhao Houjing waved his hand. He knew that this kind of thing was not something that a villain could decide, so he didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he asked excitedly, "My mother is here, let's go!"
Feng Dashan, who had been watching the situation unfold, widened his eyes. He even pinched his thigh hard before realizing it was real. Seeing Zhao Houjing and the other two about to leave, he quickly said:
"You are really the son of Princess Funing! Then does your proposal to hire me as a bodyguard still count? I am willing to sign the indenture."
Zhao Houjing looked at Feng Dashan, then at the legal advisor who was leading the way, and asked with a smile, "What crime has this man committed, sir? Can you tell me the truth?"
After asking, Zhao Houjing did not forget to point at Feng Dashan.
The lawyer looked at Feng Dashan and asked in a friendly manner, "What's your name?"
Feng Dashan's eyes widened. He swore this was the most gentle and kind adult he had ever met. He could only sigh silently in his heart that power and status were indeed good things.
Feng Dashan was thinking, but he still replied honestly, "My name is Feng Dashan."
The lawyer thought hard before explaining to Zhao Houjing, "Master Zhao, this man was imprisoned because he had a fight with the young master of the Jin residence. The Jingzhao Prefecture has no plans to do anything to him. They plan to keep him in custody for a few days until the incident has passed and then release him."
