My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 924 - 905: Hitched to a Golden Backer?

Mu Xi had just returned from the Palace with his father, feeling dizzy and sleepy as the carriage swayed. As they passed through this street, he heard Qin Liuxi’s voice, and immediately opened his eyes with a jolt, lifting the curtain of the carriage. Sure enough, their carriage was passing a tea house, and there was the little god stick supporting an old man and cursing someone.

Mu Xi quickly jumped off the carriage, startling his father. Taking a look outside, oh, isn’t that the Junior Temple Master?

Marquis Cheng’en quickly stopped the carriage and followed him out, just in time to hear that little playboy bragging about his sister being Lady Li. Now that’s it, his own little ancestor rushed over like a cannonball to hit people.

Mu Xi suddenly charged out, scaring everyone. Once they saw who he was, those who recognized him went weak at the knees and knelt down.

The Little Overlord in the capital, who dares provoke him!

No one dared to stop him, and Liao Er was soon beaten black and blue, feeling like his whole body was falling apart. He looked at Mu Xi with one swollen eye, his mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out with a puff.

What the hell, why did he have to come to this tea house to sober up?

Qin Yuanshan was completely dumbfounded.

"Xi’er, that’s enough." Marquis Cheng’en stopped his little ancestor, any more and it would lead to murder.

Mu Xi spat out harsh words: "If you dare to misuse your concubine sister’s influence to bully the weak again, I’ll beat you every time I see you!" He said, kicking Liao Er again: "Open your damn eyes and see clearly, this is someone I’m protecting. Messing with them is messing with me!"

Even though she’s a concubine to the Emperor, she’s not the rightful Empress, so calling her a concubine isn’t wrong!

The crowd: Doesn’t that mean you’re also taking advantage of your Empress sister’s influence to do as you please?

But no one dared to speak, trembling and kneeling, because in front of them, besides the Little Overlord, stood the current Imperial Uncle. Who dares to be reckless!

Mu Xi came to Qin Liuxi and said, "You little god stick, walking in the capital, why don’t you drop my great name? See, getting bullied now, if I hadn’t happened by, how would these blind fools have dirtied your hands?"

Qin Liuxi said, "Not necessary."

"Hey, you really don’t want to treat me as an outsider, huh? By the way, how did this group of worthless playboys offend you?" Mu Xi pointed at Liao Er and the others, "Come on, file your complaint, I’ll back you up!"

Marquis Cheng’en also stepped forward with a smile, very enthusiastic, saying, "Junior Temple Master, coming to the capital, why not send someone to notify me so I can arrange a welcome banquet for you!"

The crowd: "..."

This iron plate, turned out to be made of fine iron!

Qin Yuanshan and the servant were left in a daze.

Have they latched onto a golden thigh?

Qin Liuxi nodded slightly to Marquis Cheng’en: "Just passing by. Marquis, you came just in time. These playboys, mere commoners, beat a court official old enough to be their grandfather in public, how should this be handled?"

"Injustice, we didn’t!" The group opened their mouths with pale faces, they truly couldn’t bear the weight of such a charge!

"Pushing an old man to the ground, dare you say you didn’t? An elderly person, pushed by you, if they were frail, they couldn’t get up by now, right?" Qin Liuxi sneered: "Such behavior, if not considered beating, is it considered murder?"

They couldn’t acknowledge that either!

Marquis Cheng’en squinted: "Murdering a court official?"

Qin Yuanshan stepped forward, saluting: "This official, Junior Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Yuanshan, greets the Marquis."

Marquis Cheng’en recognized him as the former Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Yuanshan, who had just been reinstated.

"Mr. Qin, what’s the matter here?"

Qin Yuanshan smiled bitterly: "Getting old, not moving very briskly, I walked a bit slowly and annoyed these young fellows, it’s my fault."

Well, this little old man must have drunk too much green tea at the tea house earlier, his words sound so full of tea semantics.

"It was Liao Er who started the fight!" One playboy shouted first: "I was just standing behind, didn’t move at all."

Murdering a court official, whoever admits it is doomed!

"That’s right, I didn’t either, Liao Er was annoyed this old man... annoyed the old official was in the way, so he gave him a push!"

"Yes, yes, it’s not my fault!"

Liao Er, who was betrayed: "???"

Those bastards, his pig friends and dog mates are indeed unreliable!

When there’s something good, they call him Young Master Liao, when it’s bad, they push all the blame on him, calling him Liao Er!

Normally, all his drinking money went to the dogs.

Marquis Cheng’en looked to the steward beside him and instructed: "Send them to the Capital Mansion."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately begged for mercy: "Marquis, we are wrong, Mr. Qin, we are truly wrong, please forgive us this time."

If they really went to the Capital Mansion, and with the Imperial Uncle instructing it, they feared they wouldn’t be able to step out the door for three months, and would certainly be beaten half to death at home!

Qin Yuanshan also hadn’t expected the matter to escalate so much, instinctively looking at Qin Liuxi: "Xixi..."

"What are you looking at me for? This is your business." Qin Liuxi’s expression was indifferent.

Marquis Cheng’en blinked, asking: "Mr. Qin, what is your relationship with the Junior Temple Master?"

He only knew Qin Liuxi was heir to a Daoist Temple, now seeing her clearly sticking up for Qin Yuanshan, he was curious, what is their relationship?

Qin Liuxi didn’t speak, Qin Yuanshan glanced at her, boldly replying: "This is the legitimate eldest granddaughter of my humble self!"

After saying so, he sneaked a look at Qin Liuxi, seeing no reaction from her, slightly breathing a sigh of relief, feeling a bit happy.

He was afraid this child wouldn’t acknowledge him!

But she did not refute.

"Granddaughter?" Mu Xi hollered, startling the joyous Qin Yuanshan and his father.

Mu Xi was indeed shocked, no way, isn’t the little god stick just like him, a guy with a handle, and she’s female?

Those playboys being taken away felt even more doomed, this person wasn’t some passerby meddling in injustice, but the old man’s own granddaughter.

This granddaughter had an unusual relationship with the Imperial Uncle and them, looking at how she’s also not deferential towards the Imperial Uncle, yet the tolerance from Marquis Cheng’en and others, she must be remarkable!

They’re finished!

This iron plate not only made of fine iron, but mysterious iron, doomed if kicked!

Mu Xi, bewildered, scrutinized Qin Liuxi: "You’re a woman? Aren’t you a Daoist?"

"Isn’t there such a thing as female crowns in this world?" Qin Liuxi rolled her eyes, saying: "Since the people are caught, Marquis, I’ll take my leave now."

"Leaving just like that? Be it as it may that chance encounters are better than appointments, this Marquis sets a banquet, to wash off the dust for the Junior Temple Master?" Marquis Cheng’en came to his senses, hurriedly trying to persuade her to stay.

Mu Xi was about to reach out and grab: "Don’t leave, explain it clearly!"

How did you become a woman?

He even wanted to invite her to soak in hot springs together!

Qin Liuxi glared at him, Mu Xi sheepishly withdrew his hand, somewhat hurt, saying: "I backed you up, can’t you give me a bit of face?"

Marquis Cheng’en twitched a corner of his mouth, this child looks quite silly when he’s not being a bear!

Qin Yuanshan broke out in a cold sweat on his back, while the servant supporting him beside him showed admiration.

Whoa, she’s the Old Master’s legitimate granddaughter, isn’t she the eldest miss from the main branch who never showed up before?

This one even doesn’t give a damn about the capital’s Little Overlord, truly wild and domineeringly majestic!
