Yun Zheng took a slight step back, Yun Zhan raised his leg and kicked forward, and the next instant, the guard was kicked away, landing heavily on the stone floor.
His sword fell from mid-air, and the crowd instantly scattered apart.
"Hmph!"
Yun Zheng sneered, not even glancing at the two guards who had fainted, and continued walking forward. This time, no one dared to stop him.
"Father, did Su Jian bring people to block you?"
Just as he entered the gate, Yun Wanye leaped down from the wall and ran over hastily.
Yun Zheng eyed him sideways, "Werenât you the one watching the commotion from the wall for quite a while? How could you ask? Didnât you see clearly?"
Yun Wanye: "..."
"Father, let me clarify first, I wasnât just spectating, I was investigating the situation. In case that guy tries to harm you, the wall would be a great place for me to jump down and support you instantly."
"Also, I care about you, thatâs why I specifically came to ask."
"Father, in my opinion, since that guy volunteered to come to you, you shouldnât have let him off so easily. It would have been better if you just pinned him to the ground and gave him a good beating. He wouldnât dare to provoke you again after that."
"Regarding skills, even ten of them arenât your match, and as long as you take action, I would definitely jump down to help you immediately."
"Alright, alright," Yun Zheng waved his hand to interrupt, and said helplessly, "The court isnât the martial world, where fighting and killing are just at a whim."
"Even though Su Jian is the Grand Commandant, secretly beating him up might be excused, but to hit him so openly isnât just about hitting him; itâs like hitting the Emperorâs face, and the courtâs face. Do you want your father to be impeached by all the officials?"
"How arrogant would your father be to just attack even the current Grand Commandant?"
"You should also learn to restrain your temper in the future, consider the consequences before doing things, and donât resort to violence at the slightest provocation."
"Being skilled doesnât mean you have a tough fate, and winning a fight doesnât mean you gain an advantage. Remember, always think about the consequences of your actions."
Yun Zheng felt particularly troubled; this bratâs temperament was just like his own in his youth, always ready for a fight whenever challenged.
Luckily, he joined the military early to pursue his wife and was put under supervision; otherwise, he would have caused a lot of trouble himself.
Yun Wanye: "..."
*
Outside the Duke Ning Mansion gate, looking at the two fainted guards, Su Jianâs face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Yun Zheng!!!!!!
This damned brute, so arrogant and reckless, itâs simply hateful.
"Letâs go, back."
He gave a deep glare at the gold-embossed plaque not far away and, gritting his teeth, turned to walk toward the carriage. The other guards carried the unconscious two guards.
Soon, the group departed.
The area outside the mansion gate regained its peace.
Wanâan Garden.
Mo Yuanhao sent over some jewelry and clothes for Yun Wanyao, who brought everything to Lady Yun, seeking her decision.
"Mother, King Qi said the Winter Banquet is coming soon, so he specially prepared these for me. Should I accept them?"
Looking at the brocade dresses and pearl ornaments on the table, Lady Yun felt a headache coming on.
In Xiao Siâs Heart, a female protagonist made the engagement between King Qi and Yaoâer exceedingly complicated.
Now, sheâs really afraid of wolves in the front, and tigers at the back.
"Since King Qi has sent these, you must surely accept them. If you send them back, itâs the same as slapping his face."
"But Yaoâer, create a separate account book for the items King Qi sends, and store everything, try not to use them, understood?"
After much deliberation, Lady Yun made this decision.
If in the future something happens to the engagement between King Qi and Yaoâer, at least Yaoâer can return everything intact; what has been used can only be compensated in cash.
Upon thinking this, Lady Yun suddenly got startled.
"Oh right, Yaoâer, for those priceless treasures King Qi sends, which canât be measured in silver coins, be sure to keep them safe."
These words left Yun Wanqing feeling uneasy.
[Huh, why do motherâs words sound strange to me?]
[It seems like mother has other plans regarding sisterâs engagement with the male lead.]
[And sister is acting weird, she always accepted what King Qi sent her without asking, why is she consulting mother this time?]
[Moreover, I havenât heard much about sister mentioning the male lead recently, which is completely out of her character.]
