What An Audacious And Sly Servant! Chapter 9

New proper chapter~ (I actually freaked out for a moment when I found out I mixed up this chapter and the next one. No wonder previously I felt quite weird.)

Chapter 9 – Professional in Selling Off Own Team

Inside the alley, there was a brief deathly still. Then, it was not know which thug farted.

Puff……

"Hahahaha!"

Coincidentally, the local tyrant and the Crown Prince who was originally facing each other from each end of the alley laughed heartily.

The local tyrant said, "You sticking woman, even if you're composing a story, you should make a believable one. The current Crown Prince make a pledge to marry you? Why, you even wished to be the Empress in the future? You must be taking this young master for a three year old kid, using this no IQ lie to scare others!"

The Crown Prince chimed in too. "Isn't it? The Crown Prince is an honourable, out of the ordinary person who is innocent and pure. It's impossible for him to look up to you who are just ordinary girl and even pledged to marry you. Going backward a thousand words, the current Crown Prince is fifteen years old. With your current age, it's very old for him."

He originally wanted to walk to that young lady in white clothes side. However, the current situation had suddenly changed. Chu Xun completely promptly changed his direction, changing his camp to stand side by side with the local tyrant. This was unilaterally converted an enemy into a friend.

"A woman in her thirties holds gold bar! It's because I had personally cooked a good dish. To capture a man's heart, one must capture his stomach first." The young lady in white clothes argued strongly on good grounds. She gazed at Chu Xun and said in resentment, "This young master, earlier you said you wanted to help me. But why are you colluding with this tyrant instead?"

The Crown Prince stared at the sky. You asked me why, I also want to ask Heavens why too. Why this Crown Prince was just randomly strolling this alley but got unjustly implicated! Oh yeah, this is all Mei Qian Deng that boor's fault. If Imperial Father didn't make him to accompany Mei Qian Deng to go out of the palace for a stroll, it was impossible for him be able to encounter this baffling situation.

Where is Mei Qian Deng?

Earlier because Chu Xun wanted to reveal his personal elegant demeanour, he ordered Mei Qian Deng and Di Mu Yang to hide. Now, he didn't know where these two had hid. There was only Zhu Li coming out from the shop and stood beside the young lady in white clothes. She had a thoughtful face as she shouted to him, "Young Master, why are you blindly gathering the bustle for?"

When Chu Xun saw Zhu Li, it was as if he saw his saviour. He pointed at that young lady in white clothes as he complained, "This woman said her lover is the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Li was startled. She had yet to say her lover was Crown Prince, when would it be other people's turn to do so. She turned around and looked at that young lady in white clothes. Opening her mouth, she said, "Young lady, you must be deceived by other."

"No! He personally admitted it to me. He is the Crown Prince! If it's not because of him, I will not come to the capital all alone and nearly got forcefully taken away by this tyrant."

Chu Xun's temple pulsated. Your mom!

Chu Xun grinded his teeth. "Young lady, you're from outside and so don't have much knowledge right? The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne and is thoroughly protected by the current Emperor. Let's not mention the capital's city gate, he rarely steps out of the palace gate. It can't be that you pledged to marry each other inside your dream?"

The local tyrant rubbed his nose. "Alright, alright, alright. This young master will not take you away anymore. This young master finds out your IQ is too bad. Take you back to bore a son, the child's IQ will half followed his mother. This young master has big family and big career. The whole family only want a lacking in virtue of the five elements and so cannot give birth to a stupid child." With a wave of his large hand, they came bustlingly and now they were going to leave bustlingly.

He had just turned around when suddenly someone pulled his sleeves. Lowering his head, he looked. What an excellent pair of white soft jade hands, tempting! When he raised his head again, he turned cold-shouldered. "Wei, this great young master who likes to meddle other people's business, why are you pulling this young master? This young master doesn't do broken sleeves[1] relations.h.i.+p."

Chu Xun calculated in his heart. Today, since he had encountered this matter, he couldn't let it pa.s.s just like that.

"You better take her back instead, I will never stop you," Chu Xun discussed with him.

If this young lady in white clothes was taken away by the local tyrant and locked in the boudoir inside, it was no problem. However, if she was left at here and opened the vegetarian shop and even told the others that she had pledged marriage with the Crown Prince, he guaranteed in a few days, his Imperial Uncle, Prince Chen would make an article to fabricate out of nothing using this issue.

The local tyrant sneered. "If you want her to be taken, go take her yourself." He shoved aside Chu Xun's hands and walked away with large steps.

"What kind of tyrant are you really, can't even do a bit of evil things." Chu Xun turned his head around again, his brows slightly knitted. Chu Xun's eyebrows were quite thick and deep. Olden people said that those with thick eyebrows emphasised friends.h.i.+p ties the most. At the current alley, those who were eating earlier had been chased away by the local tyrant. The local tyrant himself was not being responsible as he had walked away, leaving behind only that young lady in white clothes, Chu Xun as well as Chu Xun's followers.

It was only now that Mei Qian Deng and Di Mu Yang leapt down from the rooftop. One on the left, one on the right, both of them stood beside Chu Xun.

This was the best moment to forcefully take that commoner girl.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes as he measured up that young lady in white clothes.

The young lady in white clothes who was called as Lady Su suddenly had an uneasy feeling and took a step backward. She felt it was not right. Why when that tyrant had left, this place instead of becoming safe, it became even more dangerous?

"What are you all trying to do……"

Chu Xun extended one finger of each hand outward, pointing at Di Mu Yang and Mei Qian Deng. Then, he pointed at the young lady in white clothes and closed his hands into a clasp. His meaning was very clear: The two of you, get moving for me. Capture this woman.

Sadly, the people behind him didn't move.

Chu Xun waited and waited further. When he was sure no one was moving, he angrily turned around and stared at Mei Qian Deng and Di Mu Yang. What's wrong with the two of you? He only saw Di Mu Yang was weirdly very stiff and his pair of eyes were filled with grievance. Mei Qian Deng who was on the side had a face of indifferent as if it had nothing to do with her.

"What's wrong with you, Di Mu Yang?"

Di Mu Yang blinked his eyes repeatedly. "……"

"His acupoints were pressed by me," explained Mei Qian Deng.

Earlier, just as Di Mu Yang wanted to go and capture that young lady in white clothes but in a moment he couldn't move. To be honest, his Di family had been of general for many generations. His family had been practised martial arts since childhood and had their own faction. If one day they offended the Emperor and lose their means of livelihood, they could pa.s.s off as jianghu people. Developing their own school, they could be a new star in the martial arts circle. However, he had never thought that Mei Qian Deng's martial art was this amazing, he couldn't even guard against the acupoints pressing.

Hence, he was truly aggrieved.

Chu Xun was baffled. He dug into his sleeves. Today, he didn't bring the silk handkerchief so he could use his hand to wipe his face and questioned, "No, I said, Mei Qian Deng, you, you, you!" His fingertip was pointing at Mei Qian Deng. He was so furious until he blurted out without thinking, "Immediately release his acupoints. Do you listen?!"

"If we forcefully take away this young lady, we're not different from that local tyrant."

Thus, Mei Qian Deng seemed to have no intention to make a move. She stood straight like the most splendid vanguard in the army. Even her chin was slightly raised at forty-five degrees while her sight was downward, completely ignoring Chu Xun.

Chu Xun was completely stupefied.

He was too angry that he forgot about the young lady in white clothes matter for a moment. He only thought of teaching a lesson ruthlessly to Mei Qian Deng. Say, why this Mei Qian Deng has such huge nerve to constantly going against this dignified Crown Prince. The most pressing part was that Crown Prince couldn't do a thing against him. The world most c.o.c.ky and buzzing Crown Prince's study partner must be only Little Seventh Mei alone.

In the end, Chu Xun used his palm to wipe his face again. Mei Qian Deng had made him so furious until his face started to secrete oil.

"Then, you say, what do you want to do?"

Mei Qian Deng turned taciturn.

It was the acupoints pressed Di Mu Yang's heart was burning with impatient. With his whole body unable to move, if Crown Prince and Young Master Mei fought in front of him, he couldn't be able to mediate. Di Mu Yang could only vigorously winked meaningfully at Xiao Jing Zi and Zhu Li. Quickly go and help urge Crown Prince.

Zhu Li opened her mouth. "Young Master, Young Master Mei's meaning is, we can't just forcefully drag the young lady back for an interrogation. That young lady is not a criminal and we are not officials. Furthermore, this young lady is a victim, got deceived by others. Today, since we had come across this matter, seeing injustice on the road and draw the sword to help the victim[2], we should help her instead."

Mei Qian Deng fixed her eyes at Zhu Li. Today, she had looked at Zhu Li many times. Zhu Li slightly smiled at Mei Qian Deng, the bewitchingly charming type of smile. Of course Mei Qian Deng didn't see it as she looked at the other side and spitted out, "Precisely."

Chu Xun's benevolence mind secretly ached.

He pressed his temple.

"Can you all let me have some food first?" He wanted to quell the shock.

Zhu Li took out a silver ingot and put it in that young lady in white clothes' hand. "You are Lady Su right? Your matter, my Young Master will take care of it. We will need to trouble you to make some vegetarian dishes. We will enter the house to speak it in detail."

Lady Su's inner mind was rejecting but she looked around the situation as well as the silver in her hand. She yielded.

Speaking of only a point, Lady Su's skill making vegetarian food was not bad. It just that maybe she had always faced bean products for a long time so her brain got short-circuited which was why she actually could believe that low level lie.

In the beginning she was unwilling to believe the truth.

Instead, she asked, "How are you all sure my husband is not the Crown Prince. Are you all acquainted with the Crown Prince?"

Young lady, the actual one was sitting right in front of you yet you didn't know. How could you believe you're not deceived?

Chu Xun had a second thought. He was quite happy. This girl actually didn't recognise him. She was very simple to the point of seemingly stupid. Hence, even if they were currently answering in the court, in a short time the Crown Prince's innocence could be proved. And those cheaters, their reason was very simple. They only wanted to cheat in both money and s.e.x. Therefore, the matter was completely simple.

In the past, his most evil decision was because someone deliberately tried to tarnish his name.

For example, his imperial uncle, Prince Chen. However, evidently, such lowly method, Uncle Prince Chen looked upon it in contempt. Prince Chen wanted to make a move to him, it would be a success in a single shot type, one that would made the Crown Prince dead without doubt. As long as the Crown Prince died of an unnatural death, the Emperor would have no son to inherit the throne. The throne would then naturally fell to the remaining imperial brother's hand.

Chu Xun secretly exhaled in relief.

Zhu Li as the only female in Chu Xun's group of people self-promoted herself to undertake the mission to launch a diplomacy session among the same gender. Zhu Li had better look than Lady Su. Zhu Li stuck out her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, her face full of self-confidence and approached to the side of Chu Xun. Then, she leaned over. "Ah, Crown Prince…… We are not acquainted."

"Since you all don't acquainted, based on what do you all suspect my husband?!" Lady Su was so angry her face was red.

"Based on us having much smarter brain than you."

"Among the two of you, do you have any keepsake?" After Chu Xun devoured a plate of fragrant vegetarian roast goose, his mood had turned better. He pushed away Zhu Li's soft hands which was clinging to him and interrupted.

Lady Su was afraid of him as she timidly answered, "Yes."

"Take it out for us to take a look."

Lady Su took out a jade pendant from her neck and pa.s.sed it to…… in front of Mei Qian Deng.

Chu Xun's eyelids twitched.

Mei Qian Deng originally was focused in eating. She put down her chopsticks and seriously looked at that jade pendant. She spitted out, "It's a fake."

Lady Su was heartbroken.

This group of men, the leader had a beautiful appearance but he was too hard to be served, she didn't like it. The other one had a thick eyebrows and large eyes. Although the appearance was charming, with one look she knew he must be a military man. His whole body full of muscles, she didn't like it too. Ah, she liked those that were refined, neat and clean as well as taciturn. Her husband was like that too. This young master in front of her was like that too. Furthermore, this young master had even helped her earlier. (Xiao Jing Zi: What about me? The other men: Scram!)

She was heartbroken, not because Mei Qian Deng said too directly. She was heartbroken because she had killed that heart. Originally, these people had said her husband was a deceiver but at the bottom of her heart she didn't want to believe it. Now, that young master said this jade was a fake one. She believed this young master. As such, she suddenly believed everything. The jade was fake. The man was fake too.

Being cheated alive had hurt her!

No, let her cry for a moment.

Lady Su aimed for Mei Qian Deng's shoulders. Previously when she was pa.s.sing that jade pendant to Mei Qian Deng she had already been very near to the latter. She closed her eyes and cried piteously, "Why is my life so cruel……" while thinking to lean on Mei Qian Deng.

Yet, with the extremely fast move, a pair of cold hands ran onto her forehead. She applied some force. Her whole body was in a deadlock currently with half bent waist at the original spot, as if she was fighting with a bull. She opened her eyes, only seeing Mei Qian Deng's beautiful, clean face was very close. It was Mei Qian Deng's hands that were on Lady Su's forehead. Producing a resistance, they prevented the beauty from entering the bosom.

Lady Su, "……"

Chu Xun was silently, silently until his whole face had turned black.

Di Mu Yang immediately noticed the atmosphere was not right and said the only actor's line in the scene, "Young Lady Su, why don't you show us the appearance of that deceiver? We naturally had our own way to notify the authorities to put that man on the wanted list."

"But I don't know how to paint."

Mei Qian Deng, "Young Master's painting is extremely good."

Young Master?

Chu Xun?

How did he know?

Chu Xun was slightly stunned. Immediately, he wanted to say, I don't paint.

But he had yet to speak when he suddenly changed his disposition, his benevolence heart came out. The hands which were previously on Lady Su's forehead unknowingly had appeared under his nose as they grabbed his mouth. He felt a surge of weird energy and forced him to nod. Following that, he heard Zhu Li cheered, "Aiyo, our Young Master is truly benevolent. Lady Su, quickly find brush and ink and serve him."

You lots of audacious, sly servants! You lots of scoundrels!

Bah, Mei Qian Deng, remove your dirty hands!

[Little Teater]

I am that item which was suddenly taken out by the Crown Prince and then heartlessly fell——the fan:

Crown Prince, you had yet to pick me back……
