Chapter 130 Young Marquis
Chapter 130 Young Marquis
After Ji Shuxiao left, Xiao Mingcheng asked Jinyou, "Aren't you going to keep this list?"
Jinyou shook his head: "It's useless for me to keep it, so why not you keep it. That collapsed place might still be of some use."
Xiao Mingcheng was startled for a moment, then he smiled and stopped refusing: "Okay, I'll keep it for you for the time being."
"it is good..."
The two were talking when they heard Mother Liu yelling outside the door: "What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?"
The compartment was soundproof, but Mother Liu's shrill, panicked voice still penetrated the door.
"Something happened." Jinyou said, "Let's go out and take a look?"
Xiao Mingcheng nodded: "Okay."
When the two went out, they saw Mother Liu being protected by Zuichunxuan's thugs, and a girl with messy hair was hiding behind her.
A wounded young man was lying on the ground, with several young men in fine clothes standing beside him.
"What can I do? I told you to hand her over but you refused? I have never been treated so harshly in my life! And this beggar who came out of nowhere dared to hit me like a madman? He is so brave!" The young man who spoke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips and spat on the ground.
Mother Liu refused to give in and refused to give in. "Who in my Zuichunlou doesn't know that all the girls are prostitutes?"
"Tsk, a prostitute?" The man turned around to look at his friends, pointed at the disheveled girl crying softly, and laughed uncontrollably: "Look at this little cousin, she's so seductive, she's a prostitute, I'm afraid she's already been slept with by someone else!"
As they spoke, they burst into laughter, completely ignoring the darkening look on Mother Liu's face.
Damn it, she could hardly bear it anymore and wanted to beat those bastards to death on the spot.
But no, these three people have quite some family background, and she can't act rashly and cause trouble for the prince.
At this time, we can only engage in a war of words.
She pouted loudly at the three of them, "Pah, you shameless bastards, you just came out of Nanfeng Pavilion, right? You don't even know how to wash off the vixen smell on your body, lest you also infect my Zuichunxuan with this deadly smell..."
As he spoke, he held the handkerchief in his hand and flashed, "Oh my god, I don't dare to breathe. Why is the smell so strong? It's like I fell into the river and died for seven days. It's rotten and smelly. Everyone, please stand back a little to avoid being contaminated by bad luck!"
The three men were so angry that their faces turned pale. They were all spoiled young masters in their own homes, and they had never heard such direct and ugly curses.
He immediately became furious and looked ferocious, raising his hand to ask the servants to rush over and beat him.
Mother Liu protected a man and a woman, and gestured to the thugs to be ready, telling them not to hold back and just not to kill them.
It’s a pity that the fight didn’t break out in the end.
Xiao Mingcheng shouted to stop a few people.
"I had no idea that the young marquis had such leisure and elegance. He has the imperial examination tomorrow, yet he dares to stay in Zuichunxuan today?"
Jin Jinjue was genuinely shocked when he saw the newcomer. "Master... why are you here? Are you interested in her too?"
Xiao Mingcheng didn't answer, but snorted coldly, "If I hadn't seen you, would you have done something so deceiving today? The old marquis has only been gone for two years, and you've already lost all your moral integrity."
Before Jin Jinjue could refute, the two followers beside him began to feel angry for him.
"Who are you to dare to bring up Brother Jin's deceased grandfather?"
"I see you call yourself a young master. Which family are you from? Do you dare to tell me your name? Brother Jin is the sole heir to the Dingyuan Marquisate, and we all respectfully address him as Young Marquis. How dare you, a nobody, bully the Young Marquis?"
Jin Jinjue tried to speak several times but was interrupted by the two men. He could not find a chance to speak and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His Highness calls himself a young master because he doesn't want people to know his true identity, but these two idiots keep asking!
This is going to kill him!
Jin Jinjue frequently winked at the two of them, but they seemed blind and just didn't even look at him.
His eyes were twitching because these two idiots just didn't know how to shut up.
Jin Jinjue thought, it’s over, even gods can’t save me now, my life is over!
But who would have thought that Xiao Mingcheng would chuckle and sneer, "Marquis Dingyuan really raised a good son."
Jinyou also sneered twice, and looked at Jin Jinjue with a look full of sarcasm.
Looking at his dazed expression, I'm afraid he didn't even understand the meaning of Xiao Mingcheng's words?
Do you still expect to get a good ranking in the autumn examination?
Jinyou paused for a moment, then looked at Jin Jinjue with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Jin Jinjue shivered, as if he was stared at by something cold and sinister. He felt so cold.
Fortunately, Jin You was small in stature, and he used Xiao Mingcheng's body to completely shield himself, and then he looked at Jin Jinjue quickly and calmly.
This man's whole body is filled with the poor air of "I am powerful, I am strong, I am a young marquis, and my family is rich", and he does not have the scholarly air of being imbued with the fragrance of books and ink.
Participating in the autumn examination may not mean that one can pass the exam on his own, but rather that a replacement candidate has been arranged to replace him, and he can buy his position.
Jinyou narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Jinjue as if he were a dead person.
Don't reveal your true identity, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion will no longer exist!
He withdrew his gaze and secretly poked Xiao Mingcheng on the back, and Xiao Mingcheng understood.
"You have an exam tomorrow. I understand that since you're a candidate, I can keep the incident a secret for you, but you must compensate for the damage to this building."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jin Jinjue nodded and bowed, then walked up to Liu's mother and asked about the cost.
But Mother Liu just wanted him to leave quickly, so she asked for eight hundred taels of silver.
Jin Jinjue's face twitched. This was too damn evil. He wanted eight hundred taels just for breaking two tables!
Mother Liu saw that he was in pain, so she put her hands on her hips and started calculating for him on the spot.
"You led people to smash two rosewood tables, so I'll charge you two hundred taels. For delaying Miss Yanxi's performance and losing her work, I'll charge you five hundred taels. And the medical expenses for the man you injured will be one hundred taels. A total of eight hundred taels, no more, no less!"
Jin Jinjue's face was as dark as ink. What kind of beggar wants one hundred taels for medical treatment?
But the madam's argument was so well-reasoned that it was impossible to refute it, so people had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Okay, he accepted the loss!
But Jin Jinjue didn't have that much money on him, so in the end the three of them pooled their money together to come up with eight hundred taels of silver notes.
When Mother Liu got the money, she smiled like a big Buddha, demonstrating what it means to be blinded by money.
Jin Jinjue gritted his teeth, he would avenge this grudge sooner or later!
"Let's go back and read!"
The two were surprised, but still took their men and followed Jin Jinjue away.
As soon as the man left, Mother Liu waved away the thugs, but Miss Yanxi pounced directly on the injured and unconscious man.
"Xun Lang, Xun Lang, wake up! Don't scare me..." The tears that had been held back for a long time finally fell.
Yanxi knelt down, turned around, grabbed the hem of Liu's mother's skirt, and cried, "Mom, Mom, please save him!"
Mother Liu was moved, but Jinyou was still watching, so she could only ask for instructions calmly. Seeing him nod, she immediately patted Yanxi's hand and pulled her up.
"Good girl, the ground is cold, get up quickly. Mommy will save him and find the best doctor to see him."
