Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 1536 - 1474: Someone Deserves a Beating

The arrival of Crown Prince Wei didn’t go unnoticed by Madam Zhou and Ah Jiu. Madam Zhou was easy to explain to, simply saying he inquired about Changping.

But with Ah Jiu, it wasn’t so easy to fool. However, Wufu hadn’t intended to deceive him and honestly told him the truth.

"It seems he hasn’t learned his lesson from the Unparalleled Tower incident." Ah Jiu’s face was cold, clearly displeased with Song Wei’s blatant behavior.

Wufu said with a peculiar expression, "Indeed, throughout the ages, society has always favored men."

Ah Jiu looked over and said, "Why does your tone sound a bit sour to me?"

Wufu said: "Is it wrong for me to be indignant on behalf of us women? Just look at Song Wei and that Xu Huazhang. The scandals they caused are outrageous, yet look at them now! One brazenly continues to fool around, dismissing his actions as mere playfulness, and the other is already engaged again. How long has it been? It’s like nothing ever happened. If it were a woman, she’d be long forgotten, just a lonely soul, a white skeleton!"

Ah Jiu gasped: "So, are you going to hit me a couple of times to vent for you women?"

Wufu chuckled and teased, "Why would I hit you? You’re not the one at fault. If I’m going to hit anyone, it should be the ones who deserve it."

"You’re right, some people indeed deserve a beating, a good one to clear their heads." Ah Jiu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, calling out loudly, "Hoo Die!"

Hoo Die darted in from outside, holding a pack of peeled chestnuts, stuffing them into his mouth as he mumbled, "What’s up?"

"Go intercept and teach Crown Prince Song a lesson, vent a little for your master. Just tell him, to stop coveting what’s not his." Ah Jiu said.

Hoo Die nodded and quickly left.

"Wow, since when did he become so obedient?" Wufu raised her eyebrows.

Ah Jiu said: "If he doesn’t behave, I’ll dock his bride price!"

Wufu glanced sideways at him, "You’re ruthless!"

...

Meanwhile, as Song Wei left Changqing Residence, he continued to reminisce about Wufu’s every gesture and smile. The more he thought about it, the more he found her intriguing.

Such a woman is interesting, she gives a sense of conquest, unlike Wu Yining, who still sends him love poems every day—a shameless fool!

As he rode on horseback, suddenly a pebble or something shot towards his horse’s head.

Crown Prince Song reacted quickly, pulling the reins sharply. The horse neighed loudly, raising its hooves high, and the ’hidden weapon’ on the ground turned out to be... a chestnut... meat?

"There’s an assassin, protect the Crown Prince!" The guards quickly surrounded Crown Prince Song in the center.

"Hey, are you Crown Prince Song?"

Crown Prince Song looked up and saw a man on the rooftop, with a sword on his back and holding an oiled paper bag, taking something out and stuffing it in his mouth.

Seeing him look up, the man tucked the paper bag into his waist, tapped his toes, and leapt towards Song Wei like a great bird, drawing the sword from his back, not unsheathing it, but using its body to smack a few guards.

He moved swiftly, in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Crown Prince Song, kicking and attacking without hesitation, saying, "Someone asked me to warn you, don’t covet what’s not yours."

What?

Song Wei didn’t react in time and was kicked in the face, sent flying to the ground. Immediately, the man skillfully dodged the guards’ swords, straddled him, delivering two punches, then flipped back to avoid the coming swords.

Having beaten Song Wei, he didn’t linger in battle, quickly flitting back onto the rooftop, pulling out the oil paper bag, "Wasting a chestnut, what a mistake!"

The crowd was speechless, where did this oddball come from!
