My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 923 - 904: A Ruthless Iron Wall

There’s a common saying that a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but Qin Yuanshan has been rehabilitated. Although he hasn’t returned to his original position, he’s now a fourth-rank Junior Minister of the Imperial Sacrificial Worship Temple. He’s not exactly down and out, just walking a bit slowly, yet he’s questioned for blocking the way and pushed?

Youths in the capital are more reckless and arrogant than before!

"What are you staring at, you old coot? Don’t you know which family our Young Master Liao belongs to? How dare you block the way? Can’t you see?"

"Well then, tell me, which family’s dog has escaped and is barking around?" An abrupt, angry voice rang out.

Just as Qin Yuanshan was about to get up from the ground, he froze. When he looked up, an arm reached out to help him up, and he stared in astonishment at Qin Liuxi.

Isn’t this kid supposed to be in Li City?

Qin Liuxi frowned at him, dressed plainly in dark clothing without any accessories. His face appeared old, hair silver, back bent significantly, not at all like a high official, easy to bully indeed.

"At your age, why go out without a servant or guard? Not even a little servant to follow you around. If you’re bitten by a dog, no one will be there to beat the dog for you." Qin Liuxi’s expression was displeased.

Qin Yuanshan’s eyes were smiling: "Went to fetch the carriage."

"Old Master." Someone hurried over and looked at the scene in front of them somewhat puzzled. He had gone to the back of the tea house to get the carriage, what happened?

Qin Liuxi’s expression did not improve, saying: "Is the Qin family so poor that they can’t even hire an extra driver, and have to rely on a little servant to drive the carriage and take care of you?"

"Who are you, meddling in other’s business?"

Qin Liuxi cast a cold glance at them, looking at those young masters, each appearing impressive, yet fragile with indulgence, only able to bully old men relying on their family background.

Everyone felt a chill from that cold glance, a shiver running from their spine to their Heaven Spirit.

So cold!

"Whose puppy are these?" Qin Liuxi asked Qin Yuanshan’s servant.

"Xixi, let it go!" Qin Yuanshan didn’t want a commotion.

"Shut up!" Qin Liuxi reprimanded softly.

She didn’t have much sentiment for the Qin family, yet she could bully Qin family herself, others couldn’t, especially this old man.

"You’re looking for death, calling who a dog!"

"Whoever responds is!"

"Damn it, you’re looking for death." That Liao raised his fist to strike.

Qin Liuxi lifted a foot and kicked him, sending him flying several meters back.

Everyone: "..."

"You, you have guts, do you know who Young Master Liao is!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"I only know you deliberately bullied and knocked down a court official!" Qin Liuxi sneered: "What, the fourth-rank official appointed by the Saint can be bullied at will, beaten as you please, not mentioning he’s old enough to be your grandfather!"

A few young masters glanced at Qin Yuanshan, realizing this old man was a court official. Looking at his mundane old appearance, they thought he was just some poor scholar!

Can’t blame their oversight. Qin Yuanshan had aged considerably from exile, his spine hunched, and since his elderly wife passed away, though no mourning was required, he still observed mourning for her, dressed plainly, giving off an impression of poverty.

Now that Qin Liuxi mentioned it, the few were somewhat panicked. Normal impoverished they can bully, but a fourth-rank court official cannot be bullied by these playboys relying on family background, especially since some among them are merely bastards not favored at home.

Damn it, who suggested going to the brothel at noon to drink, only to rest at the brothel, then come to the tea house to sober up, and ran into trouble here.

It’s all the brothel’s strong liquor fault, drank too much, feeling afloat.

Damn!

"Damn, who cares who they are, beat him to death, ouch, my stomach hurts." Master Liao shouted at his entourage, holding his stomach and yelling.

Someone went over to help him up, saying: "Young Master Liao, that’s a court official."

"Which family?"

"My family’s Old Master is Imperial Sacrificial Worship Temple Junior Minister Mr. Qin." The servant stiffened and said.

Imperial Sacrificial Worship Temple Junior Minister, they considered it.

"Isn’t he the one who was just rehabilitated? Even demoted by the Saint, fear him for what!" Master Liao bent over, pointing at Qin Liuxi: "If you dare, don’t leave, let’s duel."

"Just judging by your hollow eyes, black eyelids, pale complexion, cheeks puffed like peaches, a physique that’s nearly depleted and about to die, you’re going to duel me? Forgotten I kicked you away?" Qin Liuxi mocked.

The crowd erupted in laughter.

Qin Yuanshan: "!"

This is his granddaughter?

"You wretch!" Master Liao screamed and rushed over, but before he could approach, Qin Liuxi slapped him across the air.

Smack.

Master Liao was again knocked to the ground, kneeling before Qin Yuanshan.

The crowd gasped.

They saw it clearly. From that distance, he didn’t even manage to touch Master Liao, but the sound of the slap was real.

Damn, is this the legendary wind from the palm?

"Kneel in salute, it’s what you should do." Qin Liuxi chuckled lightly.

Master Liao trembled with anger: "You all, get him for me, call someone!"

Qin Yuanshan tugged at Qin Liuxi: "That’s enough, let’s go."

The servant shrunk his neck, cautiously looking at Qin Liuxi, wondering which ancestor, so bold?

"You, you have guts, this is the Marquis Changping’s son, dare offend?" The entourage dared not act, only bluffing.

From the Marquis Changping’s house?

The one who stole Zuo Zongjun’s fiancée?

Qin Liuxi told the servant: "Go visit the Zuo family and say this Marquis Changping’s son... Hey, what’s this Liao’s name? What rank?"

Entourage: "?"

Qin Liuxi frowned, said: "Forget it! Just say this Marquis Changping indulged his child to beat a court official, let Lord Zuo report him, and as for these ones here, none shall escape!"

The crowd: You’re twisting right and wrong, where did we fight? Clearly, the one who hit was you!

But listening to this bold tone, seems related to Zuo family, moreover, Liao Er’s brother just snatched the Zuo family’s second son’s fiancée. If they truly reported this, regardless of public or private grudge, the Zuo family’s old-fashioned would certainly impeach thoroughly, and they, these playboys, would definitely drink more than a bit!

Hiss, this trouble is nasty!

All had some apprehension.

"Why fear, with my sister Consort Li in the palace, what do they count as!" Liao Er shouted again.

That’s right, Liao Er’s sister entered the Palace, recently promoted to concubine; otherwise, how could the Marquis Changping Mansion be flaunting!

"Your sister is just a nobody, I’ll have my brother-in-law send her to the Cold Palace!" A voice even more arrogant interrupted.

The crowd parted, Mu Xi rushed over, first kicking Liao Er: "I dare you to act arrogant, dare to be cocky, dare to disrespect!"

Liao Er: "?"

The crowd retreated one after another in panic, who can tell them, why did this ancestor pass by, even got involved!
