“That’s right. Our Yun’er has always been kind. It must be because you snatched their stuff and they wanted to take it back.”
Fu Zheng’s thin, tiny face was tense. “I didn’t. I didn’t take anyone’s things.”
Little Madam Zhou’s face clouded over. “Since you refuse to admit your mistake, then don’t blame your Mother for not showing you courtesy. Come, men. Make the Eldest Young Master kneel down and apologize. If I don’t discipline him strictly, 1 don’t know what kind of unreasonable and vulgar person he will become in the future.”
The two guards from Duke Zhenguo’s Residence stepped forward and kicked the back of Fu Zheng’s knee. Fu Zheng stumbled and fell to the ground on his knees.
Those noble women all had icy smug smiles on their faces. They looked at Fu Zheng as if he was an ant.
Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes darkened. She hadn’t said anything immediately when these people appeared just now because she wanted to see how her two children would react in such a situation. The two children were very brave, which made her very satisfied.
A large group of adults made things difficult for a few children. Hah! Her good mood for the day was really ruined.
Su Ying grabbed Fu Zheng’s shoulder. “1 said he didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t you understand human language?”
The guards’ expressions grew increasingly unsightly and the way they looked at Su Ying changed.
“I’m teaching my own child a lesson. What is Your Highness doing!” Little Madam Zhou was furious when she saw Su Ying’s actions.
Su Ying pushed aside the guard and walked towards Little Madam Zhou with a stern look in her almond-shaped eyes.
Little Madam Zhou looked into Su Ying’s icy sinister eyes and felt her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat.
“I really hate these pretentious looks on your faces.” Su Ying lifted her knee and kicked the back of Little Madam Zhou’s knee. Little Madam Zhou stumbled and fell to her knees.
“Su Ying, you’re really lawless. I’m warning you. I’m from Duke Zhenguo’s Residence… Argh!”
Su Ying didn’t want to listen to her nonsense, so she grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the other women. “Apologize to them properly.”
Su Ying’s toes kicked Little Madam Zhou’s waist with a force that was seemingly insignificant but Little Madam Zhou’s entire body bent over involuntarily. Her forehead hit the ground heavily as if she was kowtowing to those women.
This scene frightened those women so much that they did not dare to make a sound.
This Princess Consort Qi was simply too condescending!
Little Madam Zhou was about to go crazy from anger. She screamed, “What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and pull her away!”
Only then did the guards and maidservants come to their senses and rush forward to pull Su Ying away.
Su Ying’s brows raised slightly, and she casually pulled out the hairpin on Little Madam Zhou’s head and stabbed it into the limbs of the people charging at her.
For a moment, screams resounded throughout the entire meadow.
The noble women were so frightened that they turned to run, but just as they turned around, the hairpin in Su Ying’s hand shot out to stab the ground near their feet.
“Did I allow all of you to leave?”
Those women’s expressions were extremely unpleasant. “What does Your Highness want to do? We didn’t do anything just now.”
Su Ying raised her eyes icily. “You scolded my daughter earlier.”
One woman’s face turned pale. “I… I was… that was…”
Su Ying looked at their necks and said indifferently, “Are you apologizing?”
That woman looked at Little Madam Zhou, who was still prostrating herself next to Su Ying’s feet, and knelt down with trembling lips. “I’m sorry, Young Princess. It’s… it’s my fault for being blind. Please be magnanimous and don’t find fault with us.”
“And this little brother here. They broke the paper kite that his mother gave him. You have to apologize to him too!” Ling put her hands on her hips and looked very imposing.
Fu Zheng stared blankly at the women who were kneeling down and pleading. A light gradually blazed in his eyes.
“Yun’er, come over quickly and apologize.”
The little boy called Yun’er glared at Fu Zheng and apologized very unwillingly.
Fu Zheng clenched his fists tightly and didn’t look at them.
Su Ying’s gaze shifted to Fu Zheng. “Do you think that’s enough?”
Fu Zheng suddenly looked up as if he had mustered all his courage. “Not enough! What they destroyed was the only thing Mother left for me. This is far from enough!”
Su Ying murmured a reply. “Then hit them until your anger subsides.”
“Little Brother, don’t be afraid. They’re not powerful at all!” Ling cheered him on from the side.
Fu Zheng gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed up to the children and smashed a punch into each of their faces.
“Argh!”
When that woman saw that her son was being beaten, she did not care about her fear. She screamed and pounced on Fu Zheng.
Fu Zheng was like a stubborn little leopard. He had no intention of letting go of the boy no matter how hard the woman hit him. He only stood up and pushed the woman away after he hit the boy until his teeth fell out.
Throughout the entire process, Su Ying only watched quietly from the side and did not step forward to help. She knew better than anyone that when a person was alone and helpless, he could only rely on himself.
“You… you guys are simply going too far!” When the woman saw that her son was beaten up so badly that his face was covered in blood, she was so angry that she ordered her servants to capture Fu Zheng.
With a single glance from Su Ying, the guards of Prince Qi’s Manor quickly stepped forward to stop them. No matter how the other party roared, they were unable to get close to Su Ying and her group.
Su Ying walked up to Fu Zheng and looked straight into his beast-like ferocious eyes.
“Are you scared?”
Fu Zheng pursed his lips. “I’m scared!”
Su Ying placed her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. His bone structure was not bad.
“If you are scared, it means that you are not strong enough. Only the strong will be fearless. If you want to become a strong person, follow me.”
Fu Zheng looked at Su Ying in shock. “I… I can follow Your Highness?”
“I’ll give you a chance to follow me while I’m still in the capital.”
Fu Zheng was delighted. “Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness.”
Su Ying didn’t want to stay any longer after her mood was ruined. She called out to the older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling before turning around and getting into the horse carriage with Fu Zheng.
Ling was very excited on the way back now that she had an additional companion. She chattered endlessly, asking Fu Zheng all kinds of questions.
When Ji saw that Ling and Fu Zheng were sitting so close to each other, he huffed angrily and squeezed his way to Su Ying’s side to lean against her.
Stupid Ling. Who was her real elder brother? Hmph!
“Little Brother, are you hungry? I have some snacks here. Do you want some?”
Ling eagerly took out her snacks to share.
Fu Zheng glanced at the snacks and then at Su Ying.
“Why are you looking at me? Those are not my snacks. If you want to eat them, just go ahead.”
Fu Zheng smiled shyly before reaching out to take a piece of snack and putting it in his mouth.
“Is it delicious? This is my favorite cloud slice cake.”
Ji puffed up his little face. “Didn’t you say this morning that hawthorn cake was your favorite?”
“Hawthorn cake is my second favorite.”
“Then what does Mother like to eat?”
When Ling heard this, she quickly stuffed all the snacks into her mouth, as if she was afraid that Su Ying would snatch them away. “Mother, they have all been eaten. No more…”
Su Ying was utterly speechless..
