Yu Zhi...
Jiang Xiyue recited the name silently, remembering that she had heard it from Xiang Jinghao's mouth.
Isn't this person Li Qingru's nephew?
"So you are Yu Zhi?" Jiang Xiyue said.
Yu Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "I must have heard of my nickname of 'The Shame of Asking', Madam."
Jiang Xiyue covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "I've heard of it before. However, you are Li Qingru's nephew, and your surname is Yu, so you can call me aunt."
"Aunt?" Yu Zhi also laughed, "I have never heard my aunt talk about it."
"If Li Qing can raise you, then you must be that person's child. Yu Zhi, your deceased father called me sister-in-law. Do you think you should call me aunt?" Jiang Xiyue said.
Yu Zhi had many doubts in his heart. Princess Chu asked me to call her aunt, and my deceased father was called Princess Chu’s sister-in-law. In this way, my father’s eldest brother was King Xiang Ji of Chu, and Xiang Ji was also my uncle.
But why did the Eighteen Cavalrymen of Yanyun under Xiang Ji repeatedly kill me and put me to death?
Yu Zhi smiled and didn't care about this.
Jiang Xiyue looked at Yu Zhi's smile and said, "What? Don't you believe it?"
Yu Zhi just looked at Jiang Xiyue and remained silent. Sometimes silence is also an answer.
Jiang Xiyue said again: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Qingru. She will give you the answer."
Jiang Xiyue was still gentle and dignified, but also a little angry, perhaps because Yu knew whether he believed her or not. How can this little guy not believe me? How could I harm him?
Yu Zhi thought for a while and then asked: "Since Madam is my father's sister-in-law, she must know who my parents are. If Madam tells me their names, I will believe it."
Jiang Xiyue looked at Yu Zhi fondly, thinking that the elders and juniors were playing around. "Qingru didn't tell you?"
"Auntie never told me this." Yu Zhi said calmly.
Jiang Xiyue thought about it carefully, looked at Yu Zhi and said: "Qingru has her own reasons for doing things. Since she doesn't tell you, it must be for your own good. Therefore, I shouldn't reveal it. When the time comes, she will Will tell you."
Yu Zhi spread his hands helplessly. After waiting for so many years, he was not in a hurry.
Yu Zhi took the food box from Xiao Zhi and said, "Madam, the pastries I asked for are here. Farewell."
Just as Jiang Xiyue wanted to respond, she heard a scolding.
"I know you, a shameless person, dare to harass my mother. Are you seeking death?"
Xiang Jinghao walked into Baiweiju and saw Yu Zhi and Jiang Xiyue at first sight. He originally came to have dinner with Jiang Xiyue, but he never expected to see this scene.
When Yu Zhi saw Xiang Jinghao, his face turned cold.
"Where did the dog come from? It barks wantonly and disturbs people's peace. It should be beaten to death in the street!"
None of the gentleness and courtesy towards Jiang Xiyue was used on Xiang Jinghao.
Xiang Jinghao stared at Yu Zhi, furious. "You dare to call me a dog? I think you are really tired of living?"
Yu Zhi sneered and challenged Xiang Jinghao: "Xiang Jinghao, I once told you that you just have a good father. All day long, you rely on your status as the eldest son of the Prince of Chu to dominate. Except for this title , what else do you have? I’ve killed countless people like you in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the North, I don’t know what to say!”
Xiang Jinghao said angrily: "You pester my mother and dare to insult my son. If I don't teach you a lesson today, the Prince of Chu's palace will be disgraced."
Yu Zhi immediately said: "Idiot. Who has seen me pestering your mother? If you use more brains in everything, you won't say such stupid things!"
Yu Zhi's sharp tongue is not comparable to Xiang Jinghao's.
The scolding war between the two had already attracted many diners to watch, but even so, no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.
One is the distinguished heir apparent of the Prince of Chu. The Prince of Chu wields a large number of troops and has overwhelming power. The prince is also extremely noble in Kyoto.
One is a young hero who killed Cangshan and moved hundreds of thousands of mountains. He walked out of the Dali Temple prison safely, with the prince as his backer.
Anyone he offends will receive violent revenge.
Xiang Jinghao was furious. He became angry when he saw Yu Zhi, and became even more furious when he saw Yu Zhi talking to Jiang Xiyue.
Xiang Jinghao took a step towards Yu Zhi, raising his hand to kill Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were full of indifference, waiting for Xiang Jinghao's fist to fall on him without hiding.
At this moment, Jiang Xiyue angrily shouted: "Hao'er, stop it!"
Suddenly, Xiang Jinghao's figure stagnated, and the energy from his fist poured out about an arm's length in front of Yu Zhi.
boom!
Yu Zhi's figure flew out and hit the table behind him. The food box in his hand flew up, and the delicate pastries and preserved fruits fell to the ground sparsely, mixed in with the broken sawdust.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhi covered his chest and spurted out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely pale.
Jiang Xiyue's stop came too late, and the punch finally hit Yu Zhi's body.
"Hao'er, you are really going too far." Jiang Xiyue scolded.
"Mother..." Xiang Jinghao hesitated, not knowing how to explain.
I've obviously contained my anger, so why would I still hurt him? But the injuries on his body didn't look fake.
Yu Zhi pushed himself up and stood up from the ground, staring at Xiang Jinghao coldly. "The prince of the Prince of Chu is really domineering. He commits crimes and hurts people in public. Isn't there no royal law in the dignified capital of Kyoto?"
Xiang Jinghao pointed at Yu Zhi and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. I had clearly restrained my strength just now. How could you be hurt?"
Yu Zhi took two trembling steps and said: "You are the heir apparent of the Prince of Chu's Palace, and everything you say is right. Even if I, Yu Zhi, a commoner, have any grievances, how can I fight against the superior Prince of Chu's Palace? Today I can’t bear it!”
The last two words are very serious.
Deafening!
There was silence all around, eyes focused on Yu Zhi.
Just because diners dare not say it doesn't mean they can't tell the difference between right and wrong. The sympathetic and pitiful eyes of the people around them, and the aggrieved and unwilling expressions represented their position, as if everyone was saying - "Yes, how can we people fight against the Prince of Chu's Mansion? We can only endure it."
At this moment, everyone has assumed the role of Yu Zhi, and the emotion of being unwilling to accept injustice and having to endure humiliation fills everyone's heart.
Xiang Jinghao felt that he could not argue, those eyes were clearly accusing him, he was angry but dared not speak.
In other days, he could not care at all, but today Jiang Xiyue is here, and he doesn't want to expose this side of himself to Jiang Xiyue.
Jiang Xiyue glared at Xiang Jinghao, then looked at Yu Zhi, and ordered: "Little slave, ask the shopkeeper to clear out all the people in Baiweiju."
Xiaonu immediately found the shopkeeper of Baiweiju. At this moment, the shopkeeper couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
There are many dignitaries among the diners who come to Baiweiju. If the place is cleared, Baiweiju will offend many people. Besides, even the Chu Palace cannot bully others like this.
The shopkeeper was about to say what was difficult, but he heard Jiang Xiyue say: "The moon sets in the clouds and the roar of the mountains and streams is heard. All the shopkeepers of Baiweiju in the world should know this."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he saluted Jiang Xiyue solemnly. Immediately, the shopkeeper turned to the many diners and said: "Everyone, Baiweiju is closing early today, and all food and drinks are free. Please leave quickly for your convenience."
Baiweiju has been open in Kyoto for many, many years, and its background is unfathomable. In all these years, Baiweiju has never closed early, let alone cleared the place.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, some diners hesitated to move, perhaps because they had some background and were not afraid of Baiweiju.
"If someone has not left within a cup of tea, Dachu Baiweiju will no longer serve this person." The shopkeeper's voice sounded again.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiyue. How could this Chu Princess be so powerful that Baiweiju would not hesitate to offend many guests?
And what do those two lines of poetry mean?
The young man on the third floor of Baiwei House gently shook his folding fan, smiled slightly, and said, "Sure enough, Kyoto will be a lot more lively when this guy comes back. It's a pity that we can't continue to watch this liveliness."
"Mr. Han, let's go."
Meng Duanzhang responded behind him and followed Xiao Jinghong out of Baiweiju.
A cup of tea passed quickly, and those diners walked faster, not to mention offending Baiweju.
The shopkeeper saluted Jiang Xiyue and then quietly withdrew. Only Jiang Xiyue, Xiang Jinghao, Xiao Nu and Yu Zhi, who was vomiting blood, were left in the middle.
Jiang Xiyue walked up to Yu Zhi and looked at Yu Zhi, her eyes no longer as gentle and kind as before.
"Yuzhi, you don't have to pretend." Jiang Xiyue said.
Yu Zhi was startled, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. "Madam, what do you mean?"
Jiang Xiyue said with cold anger: "Hao'er's punch just now has clearly released his true energy, and the punch did not fall on you. You were just pretending to be injured. In full view of everyone, The crown prince of the Prince of Chu's palace hurt someone, and you did this to destroy Hao'er."
Jiang Xiyue does not allow anyone to do this. Xiang Jinghao is her child and the person she wants to protect behind her.
Back then, I failed to protect my child and never let Hao'er be plotted against.
Yu Zhi stared at Jiang Xiyue without giving in. His eyes were full of sarcasm, like countless sharp swords piercing Jiang Xiyue.
For some reason, Jiang Xiyue's heart softened. It was as painful as a thousand swords piercing her heart.
Yu Zhi sneered and said, "The princess is right. I am pretending all this."
Jiang Xiyue frowned. She didn't like the title "Princess", especially she didn't like Yu Zhi calling him like this.
She wondered: "Why do you do this?"
"Princess, who do you think started this matter?" Yu Zhi asked calmly. The gentleness in his tone had long since disappeared. For some reason, his anger today was stronger than ever.
Jiang Xiyue looked at Xiang Jinghao and thought for a moment.
"This matter is indeed Hao'er's fault. But you shouldn't use such vicious calculations. That punch clearly didn't land on you..."
Yu Zhi snorted and interrupted: "What if this punch falls on me? Humph, Princess, your Chu Palace has so much power, how can you bully people without letting them resist? What's the point of this?"
Jiang Xiyue was speechless. If Jiang Xiyue hadn't stopped him, Yu Zhi would have been seriously injured at this moment, and the outcome would have been the same.
Just listen to Yu Zhi continue to say: "The Prince of Chu's house hurts people when he disagrees. Could it be that I forced him to do it? I, Yu Zhi, have had no father or mother since I was a child. I have few people to protect me. No matter how many grievances I have, I will bear them all by myself." , can’t compare to the rich clothes, fine food, fine food, and many guards to protect him like the Prince of Chu.”
"If someone wants to harm me and the people around me, I will let him die without a burial place. Please remember this, Prince Chu."
Jiang Xiyue saw everything just now clearly, and she knew in her heart that Xiang Jinghao was the first to initiate everything. But she is Xiang Jinghao's mother, so she naturally speaks for Xiang Jinghao.
Any plan to harm Xiang Jinghao is vicious and cannot be tolerated by Jiang Xiyue.
"Yu Zhi, don't speak too harshly. At such a young age, your mind is so vicious. Even if Hao'er is wrong in all kinds of ways, do you want him to be ruined? If Qingru didn't teach you well, I will teach you on her behalf." Jiang Xiyue said.
"Hahaha..." Yu Zhi laughed sadly. "The princess is so high up that I can't reach that high, but in my heart, who do you think you are, and why do you teach me how to behave in place of my aunt?"
"Ruoruo, you are indeed right. The princess's knowledge and rationality are all just an act."
As he said this, Yu Zhi picked up the sandalwood box on the ground and walked towards Baiwei Juwai.
At this moment, Xiang Jinghao suddenly struck Yu Zhi's chest with his palm.
The sudden sneak attack was also expected by Yu Zhi. If he could leave so easily, Xiang Jinghao would no longer be Xiang Jinghao.
Buzz!
A burst of power poured out around him, cutting off all the tables, chairs and benches around him.
Yu Zhi took a step back and punched out with the same punch, knocking Xiang Jinghao back several steps in an instant.
Immediately, Yu Zhi sneered again.
"What bullshit, Crown Prince of Chu, that's all!"
