Chapter 965 - 965 Fight
965 Fight
The news that the young heir of the Bulwark Duke’s Residence was chased by an unknown girl, fainted for some reason, and was carried across Chang’an Street by that girl spread throughout the capital in less than half an hour.
There were too many people who had witnessed it with their own eyes. Everyone spoke one after another. Soon, a touching scene of their little wife searching for her husband from thousands of miles away appeared. Her husband was so touched that he fainted, and her little wife transformed into a strong little warrior and brought her husband to seek treatment.
This shattered the hearts of all the young ladies in the capital.
Among them, Eldest Miss Xiao of the General’s residence was the most upset, and the angriest was Princess Linghui, who was born to Consort Liu.
One was the daughter of a favored concubine, and the other was a general with a heavy army. Naturally, only the two of them dared to come to seek confirmation.
Coincidentally, the two of them arrived at the same time. Just as they were about to hand in their visiting cards, Little Jiajia came out with Shangguan Han.
“Brother Crown Prince.”
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
The two of them greeted Shangguan Han.
“Fifth Sister, Sister Ruoshui, why are you here?” After asking, Shangguan Han saw that the two of them were staring at Little Jiajia and introduced her. “She’s…”
“Brother Crown Prince, this maidservant is so unruly. She can’t even bow to me.”
Shangguan Han was stunned. Little Jiajia used to wear thin summer clothes. The Bulwark Duke’s residence did not have suitable clothes, so Madam Li got someone to buy a set of clothes for her at the last minute. The materials and styles were all the most popular now. How did she look like a maidservant?
She was not a maidservant. Shangguan Han wanted to explain, but Princess Linghui did not give him a chance to speak. “Hong Qiao, go and teach her the rules.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid standing beside her took a few steps forward. Without giving anyone a chance to react, she raised her hand and slapped Little Jiajia.
Of course, Princess Linghui knew that Little Jiajia was not a maidservant. However, when an unfamiliar little girl came out of the Bulwark Duke’s residence, regardless of whether she was the one who pestered Brother Chen to call her husband, she decided to hit her first.
At the very least, she would say that it was a misunderstanding after the fight.
She was the princess of a country. If the other party did not dare to do anything to her, she could only admit that she was unlucky.
From the tacit understanding between the master and servant, it could be seen that this was her usual trick.
However, an accident happened this time.
Xiao Ruoshui and Little Jiajia attacked at the same time. The former threw out a long whip to block, but the latter kicked out.
Hong Qiao knelt down with a thud, her hand still raised.
Shangguan Han reacted and reached out to block Little Jiajia. “Fifth Sister, what are you doing?”
Princess Linghui did not expect Little Jiajia to dare to fight back. She ignored Shangguan Han and cursed, “How dare you hit my people? I think you don’t want to live anymore.”
As she spoke, she glared at Xiao Ruoshui.
The Xiao family had military power. Imperial Concubine Liu had always wanted to rope her in, and she had instructed her not to bully the girls of the Xiao family. Otherwise, she would definitely beat up that wretched girl, Xiao Ruoshui, today.
Little Jiajia pushed Shangguan Han away and explained seriously, “I’m not a maidservant.”
Since the other party had misunderstood, she felt that she should explain this clearly first.
As for bowing, she did not even need to bow when she saw Imperial Uncle, the Empress Dowager, and Grandmother. She had long forgotten how to do so.
Of course, Little Jiajia did not miss Princess Linghui’s glare at Xiao Ruoshui. After explaining, she did not forget to smile sweetly at Xiao Ruoshui. “Little Sister, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you in the future.”
Xiao Ruoshui was stunned by her smile. She tried her best to suppress the urge to reach out and poke her face. She said awkwardly, “Don’t flatter yourself. I’m not helping you. I just don’t want Brother Chen to worry about you.”
Little Jiajia nodded in realization. “Oh, so you’re my husband’s friend. Then you’ll be my friend in the future.”
Xiao Ruoshui thought to herself, “Who wants to be friends with you? We’re love rivals! Love rivals!”
Shangguan Han was a little stunned. He did not understand how ambitious these two people were to make friends when his fifth sister was already angry.
Look, Fifth Sister’s face was as angry as a pufferfish.
“Are you dead? Hurry up and take down that wretched girl.”
The palace maids and eunuchs brought by Princess Linghui quickly surrounded Little Jiajia.
“Fifth Sister, you can’t…” Shangguan Han was anxious to stop her.
Little Jiajia picked him up with one hand and threw him aside. She turned around and looked at the guard at the door of the Bulwark Duke’s residence. “They were the ones who wanted to fight. It’s not that I like to cause trouble.”
When her little husband asked, he would have to testify for her. She was a good wife, not a troublemaker.
The guard said nothing.
In the main hall, after Song Jingchen’s repeated explanations, Old Master Song and Madam Li finally believed that Little Jiajia was not his fiancée.
Thinking of that little girl’s strength, Old Master Song felt a little regretful.
Although his daughter-in-law came from a general’s family, because she was the youngest daughter of the Li family and had been doted on by the Li family since she was young, she had only learned some flashy moves that were useless. He thought that his granddaughter-in-law had to be capable.
Originally, the Xiao family’s girl was not bad, but the Xiao and Song families were too eye-catching. If the marriage alliance was to happen, it would only make Emperor Chong’an even more afraid. This was not a good thing.
The little girl was not from the capital and probably did not have any background. She was just right.
Moreover, the little girl was natural and unrestrained, unlike other young ladies. She had a good foundation and completely matched his fantasy of his granddaughter-in-law.
What a pity.
No, perhaps not now. It was hard to say in the future!
Old Master Song sighed deeply. “Brother Chen…”
Song Jingchen shuddered. “Grandfather, I’m only ten years old!”
It was rare to see her eldest son reveal a side of him that was appropriate for his age. Madam Li covered her mouth and chuckled.
She had actually always known what her father-in-law was thinking. At first, she felt a little uncomfortable. However, ever since she married into the family, not only did her father-in-law not show any dissatisfaction with her, but he also handed over all the matters in the backyard to her to manage. He also respected her a lot. She had long thought it through.
Old Master Song glared at him. “So what if you’re ten years old? There are so many people who have already been engaged when they were still in their mother’s womb.”
Song Jingchen held his forehead. “It’s obvious that that girl sneaked out of her house. Her parents are probably anxious. The most important thing now is to send her back.”
“That makes sense. We can discuss your engagement when we see our in-laws.”
“Grandfather!”
It was no wonder that that girl caught his grandfather’s eye. He called her “Mother” and “Grandfather” more often than he did. He had already started to call the other party’s family “in-laws”.
He would even believe that the girl was his grandfather’s biological granddaughter who had been proficiently exiled.
“You really don’t like it?” Old Master Song asked bluntly.
If his grandson really did not agree, he could not force himself to do anything.
Song Jingchen’s face heated up at the question. When he met Old Master Song’s probing gaze, he was about to shake his head when Butler Yang hurriedly ran in. “Old Master, bad news. The future heiress beat up Princess Linghui!”
[Little Skit]
Old Master Song thought to himself, “Little Jiajia doesn’t have a background. If she marries Song Jingchen, she’ll be able to calm Emperor Chong’an down. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”
Little Jiajia, who had no background, grinned. “Grandpa is right!” she thought.
The little heir thought to himself, “Have you not asked for my opinion?”
Old Master Song and Little Jiajia thought, “Your opinion isn’t important!”
