Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1501 - 1439: Framing Requires Skill, Too

Hua Jinhuan felt a headache coming on as he watched Master Mo walk out with Master Xiao Wu, who was wearing servant’s clothes taken from who-knows-where. They even changed their clothes to match their family’s—weren’t they being too brazen!

And there was another one who hadn’t come out of the room yet; he single-handedly smashed the profligates that rushed up to him to the ground.

That’s right, smashed them!

Amidst the bang-bang from inside the room, Hua Jinhuan calmly took out a small golden abacus from behind his waist, his long, lacquer-stained fingers swiftly flicking across the keys.

He had to calculate these losses precisely to reclaim them!

"Master Mo, brawling comes with a cost. Surely, you need to leave something behind?" Hua Jinhuan spoke lightly from behind Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu’s steps halted as he turned around.

Hua Jinhuan met his gaze and pointed at Wufu’s clothes: "Moreover, this outfit, oh, oh, how familiar it looks! Master Xiao Wu’s clothes are identical to those of our young servant at the Unparalleled Tower!"

Damn it, saying you didn’t do anything wrong—no, I, even as a man, wouldn’t believe it!

Wufu grinned and said, "Oh, I saw they looked nice and paid ten taels of silver to buy it from your young servant. Doesn’t it kind of look like one of yours?"

Hua Jinhuan’s mouth twitched as he stroked the hair hanging down the left side, saying, "You came here not to have fun but to cause trouble. Do you really think there’s no one at the Unparalleled Tower?"

Chi Wu came out from inside, walking up beside Wufu.

Hua Jinhuan glanced at the groaning profligates inside and said, "These young masters inside are all notable gentlemen from the city. Oh, and that Young Master Liu, he’s actually a relative from the Empress Dowager’s family. You hit them, isn’t the burden on Unparalleled Tower a bit too much?"

Wufu looked at Ah Jiu and said, "Look at you, angry and now there’s no way to wrap this up. We clearly could have settled this quietly."

Ah Jiu glared at her. Blaming me? Clearly, this mess was stirred up by you.

Wufu rubbed her nose, stepped forward, and smiled: "When Lord Hua’s being all serious, it makes Xiao Wu really scared. Profligates, after all, are hot-blooded youth—how can they not get into fights? Who would dare talk about fighting in a young servant’s tower? After all, they’re all notable people!"

She emphasized the word ’notable,’ her face full of smiles.

"Surely you’re not going to claim you’re people of the Crown Prince Song," Hua Jinhuan chuckled coldly. "Even slandering requires a certain level of skill, doesn’t it?"

"Oh dear, when did I ever say that? You must have misheard," Wufu said.

Hua Jinhuan opened his mouth to speak but suddenly remembered what he had said about waiting for Crown Prince Song.

Does this mean they already agreed to seek out Crown Prince Song or that Ah Jiu is Crown Prince Song? It’s ambiguous!

But it’s enough to mislead those profligates!

How cunning!

"In any case, leaving just like that is not going to work. Otherwise, it leaves me in a tricky situation," Hua Jinhuan snorted.

"Then what does Lord Hua want?"

"What’s the point of arguing with him?" Ah Jiu said impatiently.

Wufu nudged him. "You shut up. As they say, there’s a code within every trade. When you’re out and about, you have to follow the rules, or else chaos ensues, doesn’t it?"

"Master Xiao Wu seems to know the ropes!" Hua Jinhuan chuckled.

"Pardon, pardon, we’re all out and about here!" someone said with a rogue’s air.

"Since that’s the case..." Hua Jinhuan just started to speak when a man with a graceful demeanor walked up, whispered a few words in his ear, and glanced at Wufu and Ah Jiu.

Wufu and Ah Jiu exchanged glances, noticing something was up!

Hua Jinhuan was also momentarily taken aback but quickly smiled: "You two have caused such a commotion; I’m really in a bind. Today, our Tower Leader is in the mood; would you mind having a chat with our Tower Leader about how to handle this account?" With that, he instructed the graceful man, "Please escort them over!"
