Chapter 322: Evil And Vicious Woman

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The guards were all trained fighters. In the beginning, Fu Zheng could still circulate his energy and use simple moves to deal with them. However, there were too many of them, and they were all adults who were much bigger-sized than him.

Before long, Fu Zheng couldn’t withstand the onslaught anymore.

Su Ying was standing behind him. When the guard was about to hit Fu Zheng with his wooden pole, she pulled the child behind her and kicked the guard.

“Argh!” The guard cried out in pain and his whole body was sent flying out.

Su Ying pulled Fu Zheng along. “Watch carefully.”

Fu Zheng endured the pain in his body and gritted his teeth as he raised his head to look at Su Ying. He saw Su Ying holding onto him with one hand and dealing with the guard who charged at them with the other.

As they watched the guards who swarmed in falling one by one, the expressions on Fu Jun and the other people’s faces became increasingly more unpleasant.

Bang! The door to the main hall was knocked down by the guard who was sent flying out. Su Ying also led Fu Zheng to the courtyard.

Those guards who had rushed over aggressively just now did not dare to act rashly now.

“Su Ying, this is Duke Zhenguo’s Residence. How dare you come here and wreak havoc?” Fu Jun roared with insuppressible rage. He had completely forgotten that if it wasn’t for the Old Mistress of Duke Zhenguo’s Residence who attacked Su Ying first, Su Ying wouldn’t have attacked.

Su Ying’s gaze turned to Fu Jun indifferently. “Brat, I’ve disliked you for a long time.”

Su Ying suddenly made a move and snatched the wooden pole from a guard’s hand before smashing it toward Fu Jun.

Fu Jun could not bear the hardships of practicing martial arts since he was young, so he abandoned martial arts and embarked on a civil official’s career. He did not have any foundation in martial arts at all.

When Su Ying’s pole came smashing down, not even a guard who knew martial arts would be able to dodge, let alone Fu Jun.

Fu Jun’s eyes widened in horror. Just as the wooden pole was about to hit his head, a figure suddenly dashed out and sent the wooden pole flying with one kick.

“Argh!” Fu Jun cried out in fear. After getting a good look at the person who arrived, his knees went weak and he knelt down.

“Father, save me. Save me, Father…” Fu Jun held the person’s hand tightly just like a child asking for milk.

Duke Zhenguo was dressed in a smart, body-fitting robe. The hair at his temples was already gray, but he was no less inferior to the guards who were in their prime. His tiger-like eyes were now focused on Su Ying, and his murderous intent was evident. The steely aura around him was terrifying.

“Ever since 1 started this family, no one has ever dared to cause trouble in my residence. Princess Consort Qi, you are so arrogant.”

Su Ying let go of Fu Zheng and let him hide behind her. “If the people from your Duke Zhenguo’s Residence have no humanity, then they are animals. I’m just teaching animals a lesson.”

“Then let this old man here ask you for advice today!” The guard suddenly tossed Duke Zhenguo’s spear over. Duke Zhenguo took the spear and brandished it in the air impressively before charging at Su Ying.

Fu Zheng’s expression changed drastically. “Your Highness, be careful!”

“Go wait by the side.”

Su Ying twirled the wooden pole in her hand to intercept.

The two of them started fighting. Even the guards did not dare to go forward. Everyone in the courtyard stared intently at the two of them.

However, their movements were too fast. With their mediocre level, the spectators simply could not see the battle between the two clearly.

Duke Zhenguo certainly lived up to his reputation of being a famous general of his generation. The way he wielded the spear in his hand was so masterful that it made Su Ying recall that many of his moves were similar to Xiao Jin’s.

However, he was already old, after all, and the power of his moves was already much weaker than Xiao Jin’s.

Su Ying was focused on intercepting his attack. Even though he was already advanced in age, Duke Zhenguo’s martial prowess was still not something ordinary people could compare to.

Su Ying spun around and stepped on Duke Zhenguo’s spear with one foot.

Duke Zhenguo raised the spear in his hand, intending to fling her away, but Su Ying took the opportunity to kick Duke Zhenguo in the face.

Duke Zhenguo got a shock. Just as he was about to dodge, Su Ying landed a punch on his shoulder. She then took advantage of the moment when he slowed down due to the pain to kick the spear in his hand away.

Duke Zhenguo staggered back a few steps before he managed to steady himself. The spear also flew up and landed at Su Ying’s feet.

Duke Zhenguo had lost!

This result was hard for the people of Duke Zhenguo’s Residence to accept!

Even the Old Mistress’s sharp screams stopped abruptly.

After Duke Zhenguo steadied his body, he looked at Su Ying with a pair of turbid yet exceptionally steadfast eyes. He had to admit that Su Ying’s martial arts skills were indeed formidable. In fact, she was so formidable that it was too astounding.

“Your Highness is indeed someone that no ordinary people can compare to.”

“It’s true that ordinary people can’t compare to me, but Duke Zhenguo, you yourself aren’t bad either. However, your Duke Zhenguo’s Residence is in such a fatuous state now. After you have passed on, there won’t be anyone who can withstand even three moves from me.”

Su Ying beckoned Fu Zheng to come to her. “Other than sending your grandson back today, I’m here to ask you for the food and clothing expenses he has incurred in my residence for the past few days.”

Duke Zhenguo looked at Fu Zheng, who was covered in injuries, and said nothing. He only instructed someone to bring the silver here.

How would Fu Jun and the rest dare to disobey?

When the guard came out with the silver taels, he brought them to Duke Zhenguo with trembling hands.

“Your Highness, is this enough?”

Su Ying looked at the silver on the tray and nodded in satisfaction. She immediately reached out to take them and put them away.

“Fu Zheng, you and 1 don’t owe each other anything henceforth. Whether you can survive in this godforsaken place depends on your ability.” After Su Ying finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation.

Fu Jun got up and wanted to say something, but he was stopped by a glare from Duke Zhenguo.

The moment Su Ying stepped out of Duke Zhenguo’s Residence, the guards immediately locked the door.

The inside of Duke Zhenguo’s Residence was also filled with cries and wails.

Fu Jun glared at Fu Zheng with a ferocious expression and made him kneel in the middle of the crowd.

“It’s all your fault, you unfilial son. What did you say to that demonic woman? Do you know that your grandfather was almost injured by her because of you?”

Fu Zheng knelt in front of them, but his back was straight. “Princess Consort Qi didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that she’s so powerful that all of you are afraid of her.”

“You still dare to be impudent!” Fu Jun raised his hand and was about to slap him in the face when he heard Duke Zhenguo berate him angrily. “Shut up. You yourself are useless yet you’re blaming others. Step aside at once!”

Duke Zhenguo had absolute authority in the residence, and no one dared to contradict him. As soon as he opened his mouth, Fu Jun obediently retreated to the side like a timid quail.

“Lord Duke, she’s clearly giving our Duke Zhenguo’s Residence a slap in the face by making such a big scene today. We can’t just let this matter go. You must report this to the Emperor and let the Emperor punish her properly!” The Old Mistress’s face had been scratched, and although she had applied medicine to the wound, her face still smarted a lot, so much so that she wanted to beat Su Ying to death immediately.

Duke Zhenguo’s face tensed up and he didn’t reply. Instead, he roared angrily, “Evil and vicious woman, kneel down at once!”

The people in the hall were shocked by Duke Zhenguo’s roar. Who was this evil and vicious woman he was talking about? It couldn’t be the Old Mistress, could it?

Little Madam Zhou was afraid of Duke Zhenguo. She raised her head in terror and met Duke Zhenguo’s furious gaze.

Little Madam Zhou’s knees went weak and she knelt down. “Please calm down,

Lord Duke..”
