"Ouch, that hurts! Damn it, that bastard must have the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard to dare hit me..."
Shi Cheng, who had just been beaten up, was helped up by his driver and bodyguard, Li Kui. He covered his battered face, which looked like a pig's head, while gritting his teeth and cursing.
Li Kui, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Young Master, did you get a good look at what those people who attacked you looked like?"
"Hiss, idiot! If I had seen them, would I still be standing here? I would have sent someone to beat them back already!" Shi Cheng shot Li Kui a glare and shouted through clenched teeth.
However, as he looked at Li Kui's fierce expression, his tone softened. After all, this bodyguard was hired at great expense by his father. Knowing that Shi Cheng often caused trouble and offended many people, his father had hired Li Kui to protect him from harm.
Unexpectedly, those two men had intercepted him right at the restroom door. He hadn't even seen their faces before they had beaten him mercilessly. How could Shi Cheng swallow this anger?
He was furious but couldn't catch those two men; he was on the verge of exploding with rage!
Just then, Li Kui seemed to notice something. His deep black eyes flashed with intensity as he bent down to pick something up from the ground.
"Young Master, take a look at this. Is it something those people dropped just now?"
"What is this?"
Seeing Li Kui hand him the sign he picked up from the ground, Shi Cheng looked down and murmured as he read the words on it.
"Rui?"
"Young Master, you don't know? This is a sign used by the servants of Duke Rui's Residence when they leave the estate."
Duke Rui's Residence was heavily guarded, unlike other residences.
Even to enter or exit, one needed this specific sign from Duke Rui's Residence.
Upon hearing Li Kui's explanation, Shi Cheng immediately became agitated.
"Yes, it must have been some dog servant from Duke Rui's Residence! Damn it, they must be out of their minds to dare attack me, Master Shi! Let's go; I will definitely find those two damned bastards. They must not want to live anymore!"
As Shi Cheng spoke, his anger flared up. He became overly excited, which aggravated the wound at the corner of his mouth, causing him to grimace in pain, looking quite fierce.
Li Kui, standing beside him, hesitated for a moment.
"Young Master, that's Prince Rui's residence. If he finds out we're looking for someone in his estate, it might not end well for us!"
"This..."
Upon hearing Li Kui's words, Shi Cheng's face showed a hint of fear. After all, Prince Rui was known for his ruthless and terrifying deeds, which were well-known throughout the Celestial Yuan Dynasty; even a three-year-old child would be scared to tears if they heard about him.
Not to mention Shi Cheng, who usually flaunted his power on the streets thanks to his father being the Deputy Minister of Rites!
Although Shi Cheng felt a lingering dread towards Prince Rui, he glanced at the memory of being beaten for the first time in his life, and his fear was ultimately replaced by anger.
"Prince Rui is just Prince Rui! How can I let this go after his servants dared to hit me?! I can't swallow this anger no matter what! Let's go, we’ll take people to Duke Rui's Residence and demand justice!"
...
While Shi Cheng was seething with rage, Le Yao Yao, unaware of the impending danger, had already returned to the Elegant Breeze Pavilion.
After they left the residence earlier, they had somehow lost their exit tokens and almost couldn't get back into the royal palace. Fortunately, Chief Eunuch happened to be leaving at that moment. In the end, they couldn't avoid a stern lecture from him before being allowed back inside.
However, after hearing Chief Eunuch's harsh reprimand, it seemed that their next outing would not be so easy.
