Chapter 844 Afraid

Chapter 844: Afraid Chapter 844: Afraid Editor: Atlas Studios It was common for children to fight, so even if the five children were in a brawl, not many people cared at first.

However, the servants of Qi Yue and Qi Chong were stopped by Little Treasure and the other guards.

Seeing that their master was being suppressed and beaten up, they pushed back even harder.

Even if they couldn’t defeat those guards, they made quite a big commotion with all that shouting.

Seeing this, the passersby knew that the sons of the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness and the Marquis of Peaceful Stability were being beaten up, so they crowded over.

This not-so-narrow road was instantly blocked.

After confirming Qi Yue and Qi Chong’s identities, Little Treasure naturally could not stand by and watch anymore.

He hurriedly asked the head guard to separate the children.

Tiger Head complained to him with a swollen face.

“Brother Little Treasure, he bullied me.

Help me beat him up!” Little Lion and Little An glared at Qi Yue and Qi Chong.

With swollen and red faces, Qi Yue and Qi Chong were in a much worse state than the three children.

It was obvious that they had been beaten up badly.

The two of them glared at each other in grief and indignation.

Qi Yue felt highly aggrieved for he had only stepped in to mediate the fight.

He did not understand why he had been beaten up too when they started fighting.

But at this moment, no matter how angry he was, he had no choice but to swallow his anger because they were clearly outnumbered.

He could read the room, but Qi Chong didn’t have as much self-awareness.

As soon as they were separated from the other kids, he lay on the ground and rolled around.

He shouted, “I’m going to ask my mother to kill you.

Do you know who I am?

How dare you hit me!” He turned his head and shouted at his wet nurse, “Capture them.

Hurry up and capture them.” “Second Young Master—” His wet nurse also burst into tears and shouted, “Just wait.

I’ve already sent someone to report this to the authorities and get people to arrest them.

Our estate has family ties with the royal family.

How dare they hit people on the streets?

Do laws still exist in this country?” The three children were shocked.

So when someone lost in a fight, they could report it to the authorities?

When they were fighting in Ju Prefecture, they would just flee if they couldn’t win and get back at the other party later.

Yet here, they were reporting this to the authorities?

Tiger Head shouted, “Cowards.

I’ll never fight with such people again.” Little Lion: “Such people won’t have any friends.” Little An asked, “Should we flee?” Equally shocked, Little Bear turned around and asked Little Treasure, “Do children have to go to jail for fighting?” “I’ll have to go back and ask Royal Father.” Little Treasure spoke in a low voice, so other than Little Bear and the guard captain standing behind him, no one else heard it.

Qi Yue’s wet nurse felt that Qi Chong’s wet nurse was a fool.

From the way the other party had more guards than them, one could easily tell that they were not from an ordinary family.

If they reported them to the authorities, they would only embarrass their master.

At this moment, they should harp on the fact that the other party started the fight and strive to settle this matter in private.

What was the use of reporting them to the authorities?

In any case, she had never heard of the authorities meddling in cases of children fighting.

Just as she was about to squeeze in and pull her young master out, a squad of soldiers from the Capital Patrol Division quickly surrounded them, shouting, “What are you doing?

Disturbing peace in the capital?

Do you want to be flogged?” When the squad leader squeezed in to take a look, he saw seven children surrounded in the middle, five of them with injuries on their faces.

The two sides were facing off against each other.

He immediately frowned.

A fight between children had actually blocked half the street?

Little Treasure became nervous.

He had made an agreement with his Royal Father before leaving the palace—if he violated the law, he would be punished according to the commoners.

Feeling nervous, he asked the guard captain in a low voice, “Are children going to be imprisoned for fighting?” Little Bear also looked at the guard captain eagerly.

Who in the world would dare to imprison these few kids?

The guard captain quickly looked at the Crown Prince comfortingly before stepping forward to deal with the people from the Capital Patrol Division.

Although the Emperor had ordered that they were not allowed to interfere in the Crown Prince’s matters, the situation today was special after all.

They could not watch as the Crown Prince, and the Prince’s estate’s and the Duke’s estate’s young masters get arrested by the Capital Patrol Division.

Therefore, the guard captain flashed his waist tag and whispered, “This is a private matter.

Hurry up and evacuate the crowd.

I’ll leave with the masters now.” The squad leader of the Capital Patrol Division widened his eyes when he saw his waist tag.

His head turned stiffly to the five children standing there.

So, they were from the royal family?

He then glanced at Qi Yue and Qi Chong.

These two seemed to be from the royal family, too.

So, these children of royalty had taken their fighting to the streets?

The squad leader sighed in his heart.

The royal family was indeed complicated.

Since the guard captain had interfered, he naturally wouldn’t let the misunderstanding between the two sides continue.

He looked coldly at Qi Chong and his wet nurse, who were still shouting about having them punished.

He went forward to look for Qi Yue’s wet nurse and said, “Those over there are the Crown Prince, and the young masters of the Prince’s estate and the Duke’s estate.

If the Marquis of Peaceful Happiness and Marquis of Peaceful Stability can’t take this lying down, feel free to come to the palace to seek an explanation from His Majesty.

At this moment, we’re blocking up the road.

Even if we continue to confront each other, I’m afraid we won’t be able to come to a conclusion.

Why don’t we disperse?” Ever since he revealed that the person standing over there was the Crown Prince, the wet nurse was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

To outsiders, her master was seen as a relative of the royal family.

But as someone working in the residence, she knew better.

Even though he was a member of the royal family, the Marquis could only enter the palace for the new year and Imperial Noble Consort Wu’s birthday.

Now that her young master had gotten into a fight with the Crown Prince… Not daring to think further, the wet nurse stumbled over and carried Qi Yue.

After kowtowing in the direction of the five children, she hurriedly carried him to the carriage.

At this moment, she could no longer care about Qi Chong.

This matter was too serious.

She had to hurry back and inform Madam.

The carriage of the Marquis’s Residence left the scene at the fastest speed possible.

Before the onlookers, Qi Chong, and his wet nurse could react to what had happened, after Qi Yue and his group left, everyone’s gaze immediately landed on Qi Chong.

Terrified, Qi Chong’s face turned red.

The courage that had just welled up inside him under the encouragement of his wet nurse dissipated immediately, and he burst into tears.

The squad leader couldn’t stand it anymore and went forward to shout at the wet nurse, “It was just a fight between young children.

If it weren’t for you servants adding fuel to the fire, how would it have become like this?

Can’t you see that your young master is frightened?

Hurry up and take him away.” Although the wet nurse was arrogant and domineering, she was not stupid.

Seeing that the East Manor’s Second Young Master’s wet nurse ran away without a word, she knew that the other party had a highly influential background.

At least, those weren’t people they could afford to provoke.

For a moment, she was filled with hatred and fear.

She quickly went forward to carry Qi Chong, who was crying non-stop, and got someone to rent a carriage.

While waiting, she was filled with hatred for Qi Yue’s wet nurse.

They were clearly on the same side, but she left them behind and ran away by herself.

As soon as Qi Chong’s wet nurse returned to Marquis’s Residence, she quickly went to Little Madam Wu to complain.

She complained about the East Manor chasing them out of the carriage, causing Young Master Qi Chong to get into a fight with the other party.

At the last moment, they even abandoned her Young Master and ran away by themselves.

Hearing this, Little Madam Wu’s expression twisted as she asked, “Who was the one who fought with Chong’er?” How would the wet nurse know?

She only vaguely said that the other party had the backing of the Capital Patrol Division and was not afraid of them.

Little Madam Wu looked at her bruise-faced son with a twisted expression.

Immediately, she stood up and said, “Let’s go to the East Manor.

I want my good sister-in-law to give me an explanation for the older cousin abandoning the younger kid and escaping by himself.

What logic is this?”
