Chapter 587: Chapter 575: Dealing with Temper

“I am the only son of Magistrate Zhuang, Zhuang Lianghong, seventeen this year. It’s my marriageable age. It is my fortune across three lifetimes to meet Miss today. If you have time, could you perhaps sit in the carriage next to us?”

“Seeing how much Miss enjoys the pan-fried buns from this shop, I imagine we have quite a lot in common. Perfect for a lovely chat…”

Zhuang Lianghong chuckled cheekily, attempting to touch Zhuang Qingning’s slender and fair hand.

The gloomy expression on Su Ye’s face had become deadly.

A greedy beggar grabs buns, a wicked master desires to steal a person away?

People these days, treating her as though she were a mere piece of furniture?

Enraged, Su Ye flexed her legs, using 20% of her strength, she kicked Zhuang Lianghong onto the ground.

Zhuang Lianghong was caught off guard and hit the ground after several rolls. When he finally got up, aside from moaning with pain, he was furious at the loss of face. “Who is this wild girl who dares to hit the young master?”

“You guys, get her! Let this damn little prostitute see that she has crossed the wrong person!”

Upon seeing such great grievances befall Zhuang Lianghong, the several servants around him rolled up their sleeves and charged towards Su Ye.

Trivial servants, Su Ye did not consider them a threat. She didn’t even bother reaching for her trusty whip on her waist. Seizing her first, she prepared to teach them a lesson with 30% of her strength.

Just as she clenched her fist, ready to strike, she heard Zhuang Qingning call in a measured voice from behind her, “Su Ye.”

“Miss.” Su Ye’s brow furrowed at the sound of her name, and she slightly loosened her clenched fist.

“Use 70%… oh no, make that 80% of your strength.” Zhuang Qingning said, “If we’re to teach them a lesson, it must be severe. Otherwise, it won’t take them long to forget.”

Sure!

Originally, Su Ye was worried that Zhuang Qingning might be afraid of causing trouble or had some sympathy that would make her hold back. Turns out she was specifically asking her to go harder.

Su Ye admired such a master.

“Don’t worry, Miss, I understand.” Su Ye replied, a sly smile played on her lips. As she turned her attention to Zhuang Lianghong’s men again, her smile turned into a chilling glint in her eyes. The punches she threw brought with them frigid gusts of wind.

With a punch here, a kick there, in almost no time all 5-6 servants were lying sprawled on the ground, either with legs broken or arms fractured.

Nothing but a bunch of useless sacks of rice and wine, she thought.

Su Ye looked at them coldly, then turned to Zhuang Lianghong as she approached him step by step.

Seeing that even the typically capable people around him could not withstand a single blow from Su Ye, Zhuang Lianghong unconsciously stepped backwards, “Don’t come any closer, don’t you know my father is Magistrate Zhuang? If he finds out you hit me, you’d better watch out!”

“At this point, it’s you who better worry about your own life.” Su Ye scoffed and quickly grabbed his arm, pressing her fingers into it with force.

A crisp crack echoed followed by Zhuang Lianghong’s shrieks as if he had been slaughtered.

“Shut up!” Su Ye barked, “Take your dogs and get lost. Otherwise, both your legs won’t survive!”

Zhuang Lianghong, now aware of Su Ye’s formidable strength and fierceness, did not dare to scream again for the pain he was in. Biting his lip to keep quiet, he struggled into his carriage and ordered his servants who were lying on the ground crying and wailing to leave immediately.

The servants did not dare to delay either. Bearing the pain, they crawled and stumbled as quickly as they could and ushered the carriage away in haste.

The fast-paced drama settled down as quickly as it had escalated, as if nothing had happened before.

Only the bystanders, who had been observing the sight, were left dumbfounded.

When they finally returned to their senses, they did not dare to linger or stare at Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye anymore for the fear of inviting trouble.

Meanwhile, the shopkeeper who sold the pan-fried buns was trembling as he looked at Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye, not daring to converse much; he just hurried to put the buns they had ordered on their table.

When the new batch of buns was ready, he hurriedly brought two new plates over showing all his teeth, “These two plates are on the house for you two ladies, please don’t be shy.”

The reaction of ordinary folks who could only succumb to bullying from wealthy brats, to please the powers that might be much scarier than Zhuang Lianghong was not surprising.

Zhuang Qingning and Su Ye did not say much more. They only packed up some food for Su Mu, paid the full price for the buns, and left.

In the pastry shop, they bought a few more things to eat along the way. Once Su Mu was done feeding the horses, the three continued their journey and finally arrived at the city gate of Xuanyuan City when the sky darkened.

At this moment, in the Prefecture Government Office, Chu Yunzhao was gnashing his teeth, and throwing a cup spilling its contents in fury. “Useless! Utterly useless!” He shouted.

“Fourth Prince, please calm down. We’ve invited all the talented doctors in the city, but they all seem helpless. We can only wait for the Imperial Doctor from the capital city to save the crown prince.” Magistrate Yang of Xuanyuan City quivered in response.

Wait for the Imperial Doctor to come, did he not know that?

They had already sent people on fast horses to the capital city to call for the Imperial Doctor, but he had yet to arrive. The potent poison in Chu Jinnian was beginning to spread throughout his body. The delay of even a minute made the situation increasingly dangerous.

They had hoped that some local experts might be useful during their journey back to the capital city, but sadly, that belief had proven false.

Chu Jinnian lay unconscious, his breath barely perceptible….

He blamed himself for this. If Chu Jinnian hadn’t blocked those swords for him at that moment, he wouldn’t have been entirely defenseless, and couldn’t have fell into Zhu Shisan’s trap.

Chu Jinnian insisted on going to Lu because he was worried about his safety. The irony was that in the end….

Damn it!

Chu Yunzhao pounded his fist heavily on a nearby pillar.

“Reporting!” A guard rushed towards Chu Yunzhao, “There is a Miss Zhuang who has come, asking to see the crown prince.”

“Who is this Miss Zhuang?” Chu Yunzhao questioned, having heard this name for the first time.

“This servant doesn’t know, but she claims she can save the crown prince.” the guard reported truthfully.

“Let her come in quickly!” Chu Yunzhao hastily commanded.

“Yes!” The guard hurriedly left and returned shortly bringing Zhuang Qingning with him.
