Chapter 376 Why bully others by taking advantage of your power
Zhou Chang calmed down. To her, the old princess was no different from a stranger she had just met. It was difficult for her to pretend to care about her.
After all, Yuan Qi is still his nominal goddaughter, so it is inevitable that he is worried about her.
She was still more concerned about Yuan Qi, so she asked again: "Are you hungry? I know you can't afford to lose face, do you want me to get you something to eat?"
Yuan Qi's eyes never left the direction of the inner room. He listened to Zhou Chang's soft whisper in his ear. When he turned his head, he was felt by his breath, and his ears and cheeks flushed.
He quickly lowered his head and hid in the shadows again.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Chang still didn't know what happened.
Yuan Qi turned his head away and pushed Zhou Chang with his backhand: "Don't be here, there are only women here."
Zhou Chang looked around and saw that everyone was looking in the same direction.
The Minister of War Peng Pai and Jiang Shi, as well as Prince Duan and his wife, and Prince Xian and his wife, all gathered together, no longer caring about the difference between men and women.
Only the unmarried ladies were still hiding and crowding in the dark like Yuan Qi.
Suddenly, a gaze came from the open door of the back hall.
Zhou Chang had a hunch that something was wrong and turned around to look.
The entrance was already crowded with people.
They were all sons of noble families, nephews and grandchildren of court officials. They were so crowded that even with the lights on, it was impossible to recognize any of them.
There was only one man with a pointed chin, thin and dry face, who looked the most familiar - Peng Liang, the son of the Minister of War Peng Pai, who was looking at this side with greedy eyes.
Yes, after all, Peng Liang is the old princess's grandson. How could he not be present on a day like today? It's just that he didn't know where he was before and he hadn't seen him.
Zhou Chang first thought that Peng Liang's shifty eyes were looking at him, but she glared back at him and Peng Liang was unaware.
Looking back along the line of sight of Peng Liang, he discovered that his gaze, as sticky as a fly, was actually on Yuan Qi.
This person kidnapped Liu E, leaving her life and death uncertain.
How can you still look at Yuan Qi with such greedy eyes now?
Zhou Chang pushed aside the people around him, walked forward, and pulled the bamboo curtain to block Peng Liang's sight.
"Crash..." Unexpectedly, I used too much force and the bamboo curtain fell down, almost hitting someone.
"Ah..." Several women screamed softly and dodged.
The people around also looked at Zhou Chang, and more women hid inside.
"Is the prince okay?" Yuan Qi was also shocked and chased after him.
Zhou Chang didn't care and rushed towards Peng Liang.
Peng Liang remained motionless, staring at Yuan Qi like an idiot, completely unaware of what was happening around him.
"Your Highness..." Yuan Qi grabbed him.
Zhou Chang clenched his fists.
Just then, there was movement in the inner room.
Yun Huazi still had his eyes half closed as he walked out accompanied by Jiang Rui and his son.
Everyone's eyes turned back.
"You don't have to see me off." Yun Huazi said to Jiang Rui without raising his eyelids.
Yun Huazi is nearly 90 years old, and Jiang Rui is over 70 years old. Logically speaking, the age difference between them is nearly 20 years, which means there is a generation gap between them. However, when they walk together, one after the other, it seems as if Jiang Rui is even older.
Jiang Rui bowed his hands: "How can I thank you, Senior?"
Yun Huazi waved his hand: "No need, today for her daughter... it is also God's will, so let's put an end to this adverse fate."
He has an air of immortality, and even when he stands among the crowd, it is as if there is a barrier that makes people dare not approach him easily. His lowered eyes make him look like he has nothing to do with anything. His words are so confusing that it is hard to understand them clearly.
"How is the old princess?" Jiang Feng had no choice but to ask his brother.
Jiang Rui showed a little relief on his face: "Thanks to Taoist Master Yun Huazi, I have passed this test today, but people are approaching their death, and the will of heaven cannot be violated. Taoist Master said that my life can be extended for three years at most."
"Three years? Three years is fine too..." Everyone was delighted and clasped their hands together to bow to Yuan Huazi.
Yun Huazi still lowered his eyes and walked out.
Jiang Rui and Jiang Meng, father and son, hurriedly caught up with him: "Master, please take care. How should the people in the Marquis' Mansion express their gratitude?"
"No need to thank me. I have fulfilled my promise to someone." Yun Huazi would have been fine if he didn't raise his eyes, but when he did, he saw through everything as clearly as if he were seeing through fire, and pointed at Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang had no choice but to come over and put on a playful smile: "If they want to thank you, just accept it. If they don't want it, you can give it to me. I can still take it..."
"This..." Yuan Huazi waved the ironwood tablet in his hand, "I'll take it back."
"Uh..." Zhou Chang hadn't thought about this problem before, but there is indeed no opportunity that can be used unlimitedly.
Yuan Huazi raised his eyes and looked Zhou Chang up and down. Seeing that she was standing there stupidly, he sighed and said, "Forget it. It's useless for me to keep this thing. I'll give it to you as a souvenir. But don't bother me again."
Zhou Chang took it, curled his lips, and looked at Yun Huazi's Tai Chi Liuhe hat: "I don't want to bother you, Taoist priest, but if I encounter the same problem again in the future, I will have to go find you."
"It's a credit to you that you were able to find it." Yun Huazi subconsciously adjusted his hat. He really had no way to deal with this Prince Yi.
"I am giving you an opportunity to accumulate merits. I wish you can ascend to heaven as soon as possible." Zhou Chang resumed his shameless smile.
Yun Huazi glared at Zhou Chang, recalled some unpleasant memories, and walked out without saying anything more.
Zhou Chang smiled even happier in his heart: "I'll see the Taoist off..."
As soon as I walked out of the main hall, Peng Liang was still standing at the door, his eyes staring straight ahead.
Zhou Chang stopped, turned around and followed his gaze, and saw Yuan Qi's silhouette in the corner.
A surge of hot blood rushed to the top of his head, and Prince Yi's consciousness took control of his body.
"Bang..." He turned around again and punched Peng Liang on the left cheek.
"Asshole, what are you looking at?" Zhou Chang seemed to shout at the same time as Prince Yi.
Peng Liang was hit on the door frame by a sudden blow, and a tooth was knocked out. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was about to curse, but he realized it was Prince Yi. He could only cover his face and yell, "What are you doing?"
"You're blind. Is she worthy of someone like you to look at her?" Prince Yi Fengming kicked her again.
Zhou Chang had never had any experience of fighting in her life, but she didn't have to struggle at all when she beat the people twice. It was all out of King Yi's instinct. What's more, she couldn't tell whether it was herself or King Yi who was beating the people.
"What's wrong with me?" Peng Liang fell down the stairs and found that no one around dared to come forward to help him, so he could only pretend to be confused, "You, you are bullying me by taking advantage of your power."
"Humph, what's wrong with bullying others by taking advantage of your power?" Zhou Chang sneered, "I will take advantage of my power to bully people like you."
"You, you, you..." Peng Liang was speechless.
Zhou Chang followed him, grabbed Peng Liang by the collar, and lifted him up from the ground: "Listen, that's my wife. If I catch you looking at her with those sneaky eyes again, I will dig out your eyes, understand?"
Peng Liang was so frightened that he couldn't answer.
