Chapter 27: Third Imperial Nephew, what a big temper you have!

There was a smart person who immediately tried to dodge out of the crowd; just then, a knife flew straight past his nose.

"My eyes aren't blind, be honest!" Bai Zhi picked up that flying knife, and with its flat side, she slapped that servant's face.

Jiang Yunchu was waiting.

She silently glanced at An Wu's position, and An Wu nodded at her.

Yes.

An Wu never appeared from start to finish; he had received the Princess Consort's order, and unless it was a life-or-death critical moment, he could not act.

As for all that before, he had been using it as the standard.

Jiang Yunchu took Zhang Xiao San's pulse, then with a silver needle she pierced an acupoint for him.

It was the violent impact that made Zhang Xiao San lose consciousness; his injury was not serious.

"Am I still alive?" Zhang Xiao San was about to jump up when a hand pressed down on his shoulder, and he couldn't move at all.

"Who are you? What are you doing pressing down on this young master? Although this young master is good-looking, he's not that lustful."

Ning Hanmo covered his eyes, "Go on, go on," he said, "I can't see, I can't see."

Jiang Yunchu also frowned, then she inserted a silver needle, and the surrounding air became fresh……

The mute point is a great thing!

It must have appeared for someone like this, right?

Huh? Why has there been no movement?

Ning Hanmo moved his hand away from his eyes and saw Zhang Xiao San with his mouth open, pointing at his own throat, yet unable to make any sound.

"You didn't poison him mute, did you?"

"That's absolutely not allowed!"

"The Zhang family won't let this go!"

Ning Hanmo whispered in Jiang Yunchu's ear, having already forgotten his own grievance, feeling a bit worried and also guilty as he looked at Zhang Xiao San.

"It's fine, after sealing his mute point for two ke, it will release." Jiang Yunchu glanced at Ning Hanmo, not expecting him to care about her at this moment.

At least this kid has a conscience.

"Phew, phew." Ning Hanmo patted his small chest and let out a big sigh of relief.

Brothers are good brothers, but he also couldn't let the foolish woman come to harm; just now he was still worrying about where to send the foolish woman to hide, but now it's fine~

But……

"Stop." A voice shouted angrily as it approached.

Standing beside that young man wasn't it the steward who had just been kicked flying by himself?

Whoever was coming, there was no need to guess anymore.

But……

His single "stop" in this huge racetrack was like air—it couldn't stir any ripple.

That bunch of people, whether they should hit or not, they all struck at unseen spots; these veteran soldiers had long figured out these tricks—how to hurt, how to avoid injury.

These needed no one to teach; playing them was just smooth.

"Yo, who's come?" Jiang Yunchu sat on the stool, slightly lifted her chin, and looked at the Third Prince whose complexion was bad.

The Third Prince looked at her and felt his teeth itch with hatred.

"Greetings, Aunt." The Third Prince bowed and performed the salute.

Jiang Yunchu smiled and said, "Your younger brother was beaten in your arena; how will this be settled?"

She opened with the words "your younger brother."

A paternal cousin is also a brother!

Never mind about brothers—your younger brother was injured in your arena; shouldn't you give an explanation?

"Aunt, could you first have them stop?" The Third Prince held back his anger, his face dark as ink.

Now it's impossible to intervene; since something happened in his arena, whether it's the Regent Prince's Manor or the Cao family, this matter won't be easily resolved!

"Stop." Jiang Yunchu said softly.

But just those light words immediately made everyone stop, and everyone gathered, standing behind Jiang Yunchu; the protective meaning was expressed extremely clearly.

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes, saw this scene, and felt the situation become even more thorny.

The people behind the Third Prince helped up those few Cao family members; the Cao family members were now twitching all over, yet there was not a single mark on their faces—only slight abrasions, perhaps from accidentally brushing against the three children earlier.

"Where's the doctor? Have a look." The Third Prince shouted angrily, though his eyes glanced at the Regent Prince's Manor people.

In the entire racetrack, the only person sitting steadily was Jiang Yunchu; at some point, Zi Su brought her a pot of tea, and although there was no table, as a senior maid she simply held it in her hands—the tea was warm, not scalding, a temperature the Princess Consort could just sip.

Jiang Yunchu held the teacup in one hand, leaning sideways against the chair back; let alone lacking the air of a noble lady, even in the whole capital Jingdu, you probably couldn't find anyone sitting like that.

"Report, they have no external injuries, and no internal injuries either." The few doctors were the racetrack's doctors; naturally they wouldn't lie at this time, as it would do them no good.

But those people's foreheads were still dripping cold sweat, their bodies bowed like shrimp, their faces wearing a ferocious expression.

No matter how you look at it, they don't seem fine at all.

"Trash!" the Third Prince snapped.

"Heh~" At that moment, a cold laugh rang out, and everyone's gaze was instantly drawn to the seated person.

She had been sitting quietly there, yet she wouldn't let anyone ignore her.

She……

Really just a dispensable eldest miss?

The emperor granted a marriage, but after screening all the ladies of the capital Jingdu, he finally chose the eldest miss of the General's Manor, precisely because of her weak personality and easy-to-handle attitude.

Yet such an easy-to-handle person today slapped the face of the mighty Third Prince.

"Third Imperial Nephew, what a big temper you have!"

Alright, this play—when is the third nephew planning to finish? That light voice, calm tone—where is the earlier arrogance?

But it was exactly this cold voice that made the steward's body shudder slightly.

Recalling when she stepped onto the racetrack, she whispered to herself.

Aunt, I also need to let my nephew get to the bottom of this. The Third Prince said patiently; if she hadn't interfered, Ning Hanmo's beating would just be a beating.

Let the Cao family folks give them a lesson, to suppress the recent arrogance of the Regent Prince's Manor.

But...

Once the Regent's Consort gets involved, things aren't so easy to handle.

Get to the bottom of it....

Jiang Yunchu seemed to have heard something amusing, a sneer curling at the corner of her mouth—'Where is the Wang Fu physician?'

Reporting to the Princess Consort, I am here.

The physician came out from behind, and it wasn't just one, but three altogether.

Investigate?

Heh... we need to get to the bottom of it.

Give that Cao Young Master a free check-up as well, so that when the Third Prince gets angry he won't start calling others trash.

Jiang Yunchu played with her plump fingertip, not giving the Third Prince a glance.

Investigate!

Great!

I'll just accompany you in the investigation; I'm actually curious to see how you'll wrap things up~

Things really are getting more and more interesting!
