Chapter 685: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 45
When Chen Lang arrived with two bags of walnut cakes, he saw Quan Jiu stepping on the butcher's knee, and the sound of bones being dislocated could be clearly heard among the crowd.
Facing the pointing and talking of the people around him, Shen Lang didn't listen to anything, threw the walnut cake to Shen San, and ran over.
He held Quan Jiu's arms in public and looked her up and down:
"Did he bully you?"
Quan Jiu is a Microsoft in his heart.
It's not that she doesn't have ears. People around her were talking about how cruel she was. To those who didn't know the situation, it seemed like she was bullying others by taking advantage of her power, and even when she was right, she was considered to be wrong.
She originally thought Shen Lang would ask her what happened, but she didn't expect his first sentence to be this. She was certain that the other party was the one at fault.
"I wasn't the one he bullied."
With just one sentence, Shen Lang's attention shifted from her to Milk Ball.
Naituanzi stood beside Quan Jiu, only as tall as her thigh, and looked at him with her big dark eyes.
"Shen San."
"exist."
Shen Lang said casually: "Drag him away."
Shen San is a man of action. He lifted the man up with one hand and said, "I obey your command."
The master and servant had been together for many years, and their tacit understanding did not need to be explained. Chen Lang's words clearly meant that he should drag the man back to the East Factory and "serve him well."
The middle-aged woman panicked when she saw her husband being dragged away. She grabbed Shen San's arm and started crying and throwing a tantrum:
"Help, help! There are hooligans beating people..."
She was too weak to stop Shen San's actions, so she could only raise her voice.
"If you have the guts, don't leave. I'm going to report this to the authorities. Master Zhang is a frequent visitor to my home. I hate people like you who do evil and commit crimes. If you have the guts, come with me to the authorities..."
Shen San frowned and stared at his master.
Except for the brief change in his eyes when he first checked if Quan Jiu was injured, Chen Lang's eyes returned to their usual coldness. Facing the discussions around him, he said indifferently.
"You want to report it to the police?"
The middle-aged woman knew that he was the one in charge: "That's right."
Chen Lang curled his lips into a cold smile, took out a gold medal from his waist, and flashed it in front of her.
"Coincidentally, I am an official."
Seeing the huge word "沉" (Shen) on the gold medal, the woman who was throwing a tantrum seemed to be silenced. She stared at the gold medal in a daze and stopped playing around.
Chen Lang said mercilessly: "Take her away as well."
After dealing with the Jipin family, Shen San dispersed the onlookers.
Quan Jiu was already hugging the little girl and coaxing her: "Don't be angry. If you still want a kite, I'll make you two tomorrow."
But the little girl took the hand that had hit her, her eyelashes drooping, and she looked distressed:
"Did it hurt?"
Quan Jiu pinched his cheek: "What are you thinking about? I'm not a porcelain doll."
The little girl tightened her chubby face and reflected seriously:
"I'm sorry, I didn't do that."
Quan Jiu thought he was referring to hitting someone: "I don't blame you, some people deserve to be beaten."
Milk ball shook his head and continued to admit his mistake:
"Men's affairs should be resolved by men themselves. Women should not be involved. I got into trouble and I still want you to clean up the mess. I did something wrong."
He can beat people, even kill people and set fires, but he cannot leave any traces and make her angry and worried.
His words were so sensible that Shen Lang and Shen San couldn't help but look at him twice.
"But you are only a five-year-old child now."
Quan Jiu scratched the tip of his nose, speaking softly.
Milk ball frowned slightly: "Don't always treat me like a child."
"Okay, you are a little man." Quan Jiu was particularly obedient to him.
Shen San took Naituanzi to see the imperial physician, while Shen Lang and Quan Jiu sat alone in the yard.
"You're too nice to him."
After understanding the whole process, Shen Lang looked at her, trying to find the reason from her face.
"Some people are just born to be compatible. I felt a strong connection with Xiao Zhuo the moment I met him."
Quan Jiu was calm and composed, as if he had expected him to ask this question.
Shen Lang stared at her face for a long time, then changed the subject: "How do you plan to punish these three people?"
Quan Jiu didn't know whether he believed his words or not:
"Based on the unreasonable style of these people, they must have bullied others frequently. Now is the time to seek revenge and redress grievances."
After listening to her arrangements, Shen Lang raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
To outsiders, it might seem cruel to take the lives of a family of three directly, but in fact, her punishment was even more deadly. A hard knife kills with one blow, while a soft knife can only be sharpened slowly, one cut at a time.
………
Quan Jiu had just returned to the Yangxin Palace and, as expected, saw Chu Tuo again.
"His Majesty."
She saluted with neither humility nor arrogance.
During this month, Chu Tuo came to her bedroom many times, seemingly to chat with her, but his real intention was not to do anything else.
"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for formalities between you and me."
Chu Tuo had been stuck for a month, but for the first time in his life he didn't feel humiliated. Instead, he felt that she had principles.
He was the emperor, and ordinary people would have been unable to resist his nagging, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, neither fawning nor too rigid.
In addition to her skills, if he could let her take charge of the harem, he believed he would be able to rest assured.
After Quan Jiu bowed, he poured him a cup of tea as usual.
Chu Tuo raised the cup and stared at the light green tea, a smile flashing in his eyes:
"I've tried so many famous teas, but Dr. Shen's tea is the best."
Everyone present was smart, so they could naturally tell that he used "tea" instead of "people".
"This is the last batch of pre-rain tea. Once your majesty has finished drinking it, you don't need to come again."
Quan Jiu's attitude is different from before.
The smile on Chu Tuo's face froze. He naturally would not believe such a low excuse that Cha was gone, and just thought she was trying to drive him away.
"Are you angry, my dear?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not a casual person. No one knows I'm a woman now, so no one thinks it's inappropriate for you to come to the Yangxin Palace all the time. But have you ever thought about how outsiders will view our relationship after my identity is exposed?"
Even when Quan Jiu was angry, his expression was calm.
What Chu Tuo liked was her cold and aloof nature, as if nothing in the world could move her.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Chu Tuo did not get angry at her disrespect. He pondered for a moment:
"Are you blaming me, my dear, for not being able to give you a proper status?"
Quan Jiu lowered his head and remained silent.
Chu Tuo felt guilty. Women cared most about their chastity, but he could only let her accompany him secretly.
"Prime Minister He played an indispensable role in my smooth ascension to the throne, so I have always been a little more indulgent towards the Empress."
"I understand."
Quan Jiu curled up the corners of his mouth in a sneer.
"The harmonious relationship between the Emperor and Empress is a legend throughout the Meng Kingdom. Who in the world doesn't know this?"
Chu Tuo listened to the jealousy in her tone and hurriedly explained.
"My dear, I have more responsibility than affection for the Queen... It's a shame to say that even though I'm the Son of Heaven, I can't do whatever I want."
