Heartburn

Chapter 39: Notoriety

"Is there anyone in the picture?" I asked her in a whisper, handing her the

catalogue list.\n"The owner is joking, how can I care about such things that men like?" Jiang

Zhuo didn't accept the roster, but frowned and glanced at me, and refused to

say indifferently.\n"Uh, I was abrupt." Withdrawing my hand in a hesitant manner, I read the

roster again, and casually asked the shopkeeper about the profitability of the

shop, but suddenly I had an idea in my heart: If she doesn't like ordinary

jewelry for decoration , So what about gadgets with special effects?\nI remember a friend from the history department was obsessed with cold weapons

for a period of time, including hidden weapon props in endless patterns. One

of them was shown off in front of me by her more than once; since other things

are not pleased, Why not try this-of course it's just a dead horse as a living

doctor.\nI drew a simple pattern and gave it to the shopkeeper, and discussed the

specific craftsmanship and details with her. After getting her affirmation, I

took a sip of tea comfortably.\nShe told her to send a part of the money to Shen Youlan's mansion later, and

agreed to deliver the finished product to the inn one day later. Jiang Zhuo

and I left the shop-as far as she knew, several of them were owned by the same

proprietor. The shops are on another street, which is where I will go next.\n"The boss just...what is it doing?" Walking beside me, Jiang Zhuo asked

carelessly as he swept across the street stalls.\nI stared sideways at her lip line that had softened a lot unknowingly, and

smiled mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes."\nWhen she heard the words, she stopped, turned her head to look at me, her

eyebrows were half raised, nodded thoughtfully, and walked forward on her own.\n"Hey!" I hurried to follow up without thinking deeply. I took her hand by the

hand and asked step by step, "Are you angry?"\n"...Never." She made a symbolic effort, but I held her palms tightly and

couldn't easily break free-she simply let me pull and pull forward, not caring

about the people around me. Occasionally betting strange eyes.\n"Nothing is fine." I bit my lip and smiled, secretly glad that she didn't

throw my hand away, just thinking: If I can go on like this, there is nothing

unwilling.\nWhen I reached the corner, I saw a large crowd of people crowded around the

street, crying and cursing from the encirclement, and they taught people to

stop and find out.\nI didn't want to be nosy, but the crowd later squeezed in that direction.

Jiang Zhuo and I were slowly pushed to the center along with the flow of

people-this is the end of the matter, just watch. Just look at it and treat it

as a pastime.\nHolding Jiang Zhuo’s hand, and having to be close to her because of the

crowded people, enjoying her holding me by her side as if there is nothing, I

just didn’t notice it, but my heart was gurgling with bubbles and poking away.

It's all greasy sweet honey.\n"You bullies, grabbing on the street and bullying others, is it justified?"\n"Bullish? Grandma, I will teach you what a bully is! Come on, grab it for me!"\n"Stop it! Stop it!"\nAfter being blocked by the crowd, I could barely hear these words amidst the

noise, and I could probably understand what was going on-it was nothing more

than a group of rogues robbing others.\nIn this case, just report it to the local law enforcement agency.\nIt’s just that during the little tea time when we were stuck here, no one left

to report to the officials, but the pedestrians who had gathered in the front

row to watch the excitement hid behind, as if they were afraid of being caught

by the conflict in the middle. Spread the same.\n——Could it be that these troublemakers have a background, and no one dares to

offend?\nI always thought that there should be people of righteousness who saw

injustices and drew their swords to help me everywhere, but the sight before

me taught me that I couldn't help but shake... Are these wicked people too

strong, or are the hearts of the people here numb to such a point?\n"Are you going to intervene?" Seeing that the onlookers who had been blocking

us had gradually escaped, Jiang Zhuo and I became the first spectators to bear

the brunt \- she shielded me sideways and asked in a low voice.\n"Don't worry, take a look again." With my usual caution, I took her hand and

took her back a few steps, but my eyes were on those people.\nAt the center of the confrontation are several women in bright brocade clothes

and a thinner woman in commoner clothes. Behind her, there is a shivering

young man holding a young child. It should be a family of three.\nWhat this family did was to sell bamboo strips for a living. There were still

a few small bamboo baskets in front of the stall, but the rest had been taken

apart and broken up; the commoner woman had signs of beatings on her face, but

her family did. He was well protected, but his face was trembling with tears,

his eyes were sad and hopeless, and he couldn't bear it when he watched.\nThis situation, you don't need to guess it is a scene of bullying the weak,

even if I can't fist, I can't turn a blind eye to it, I must speak to stop it

\- not to mention, there is Jiang Zhuo by my side.\nThinking of Jiang Zhuo, I felt proud and sweet in my heart. I could not wait

to show it off to everyone. This beautiful, handsome, gentle, considerate and

civilized woman... is the one I like.\n"Wait!" I cleared my throat, concealing the shyness and fluttering vanity in

my heart at that moment, took a step forward, and hurriedly stopped before the

brightly-dressed women wanted to do it again.\n"Why don't you call grandma? Don't be nosy, be careful to beat you up!" The

woman who seemed to be the leader glanced contemptuously, and when she saw

Jiang Zhuo, she gave an arrogance, and then turned away with a cold snort, but

she didn't. As I expected, I shifted the target, just warned.\n——I was shocked by Jiang Zhuo only in terms of aura. It can be seen that they

are just some bullying and fearful of hardship, so I am more certain.\n"In broad daylight, in the street, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?"

With Jiang Zhuo beside me, I can't help but say a little bit harder, even the

volume is not consciously raised a bit, quite a bit of a fake tiger's

prestige, just No one can see how proud I am at the moment.\n"Ha, Wang Fa? In this city of Zechang, my aunt is Wang Fa!" She smiled

frantically, disregarding my doubts.\n"Presumptuous! You dare to claim to be Wang Fa, where do you put Dawu's

imperial family?" I don't know whether my anger at the moment is because she

bullies the weaker more, or she defies the imperial power more blatantly like

this-- Could it be that in my subconscious, I have accepted my prince status

and I am proud of it?\n"You are the only one who is presumptuous! I am the purchaser of King Ling's

Mansion, acting on behalf of King Ling's Palace! If you oppose me, you will

offend His Royal Highness Ling! Can you afford it?" She snorted, rather

contentedly. .\nIt sounded in my ears, but it was no less than a thunder.\n——Ling Wang?\nIsn't that... me?\nIf these people knew that Ling Wang himself was in front of them, how would

they react?\nBesides, this woman actually uttered a wild word to represent King Ling...How

could the dignified prince be used as a shield by someone casually?\nIt's a big face.\nI was amused secretly, and I really sneered and asked, "The purchase of Prince

Ling's Mansion? Where are the tokens and vouchers? Where is the record of

Prince Ling's Mansion?"\nI will ask this only because I have seen the same accessories on the servants

and guards in the mansion. However, whether the palace has a unified mark and

whether it will issue tokens, I don’t know, but just casually mistaken it. She

just stopped.\nSure enough, she was taken aback when she heard the words, her face was a

little unnatural, but she still stubbornly said: "What certificate do you

want! I am the best certificate! All the things collected now have to be

turned in." For His Highness Ling, do you dare to obstruct it, do you live

impatiently?"\n"Since you keep saying that you are a member of the Lingwang Palace, can you

dare to go to the government with me and argue with me?" I saw that she said

that the voucher was already stubborn, and I didn't expect to have the courage

to go to the government, so Half-truth proposed.\n"Who is going to the government with you! Troublesome..." She seemed to be

bluffed by me. She didn't dare to really make things happen, waved to her

companions, and she didn't forget to say something cruel." You wait for me!

Humph! Let's go!"\nSeeing a few of them running away desperately, the onlookers laughed, and even

applauded their approvers. Obviously, many of them had been harmed by the

women who claimed to be purchased by the Lingwang Mansion; and the family that

sold bamboo strips. The son is even more grateful to me, grateful... But my

mood became steeply heavy.\nUnwilling to deal with them too much, he simply dealt with a few sentences and

walked back with Jiang Zhuo, even if he didn't have the interest to continue

hanging out.\nHe probably noticed that I was in a bad mood, Jiang Zhuo thoughtfully did not

ask much, but walked silently on the outside of me, separating me from

passers-by, and took the initiative to hold my hand with one hand, warm and

powerful palm teaching. My depressed mood has calmed down a lot.\nAfter walking boringly for a while, I finally couldn't help but opened my

mouth: "What happened just now...what do you think?"\n"Wu Ming Xiao Xiao took advantage of the situation to deceive others. Although

it is an imposter, it will eventually ruin the reputation of Ling Wangfu." Her

analysis grasped the key to the problem, but it was not the reason for my

depression.\nHow could I not know how terrible Kuang Xihan’s reputation outside was, and a

large part of it was obtained by indulging evil servants everywhere; but just

then, the incident taught me a sudden thought: If these corrupt the reputation

of Ling Wang’s Mansion Is the thing deliberately done by someone with a heart?\nAs far as I know about Yan Ke, although she is rigid and sometimes ruthless,

she is also a rigorous person who obeys etiquette and rules; and the royal

servants and guards under her jurisdiction are all cautious in words and

deeds. From where, where is such a bold and arrogant arrogance?\nEven Kuang Xihan himself is used to playing prestige under the prince's airs,

but this kind of bullying male and female bullying in the street is also

disdainful.\nNevertheless, the prestige of Prince Ling's Mansion is deteriorating day by

day. If it weren't for someone in the mansion to make trouble outside with Yan

Ke on his back, it would be to teach people to design... it is also possible

to have both.\nThis Zechang city is a little far away from the imperial capital of Guanlan,

but you can also encounter people who pretend to be Ling Wang's Mansion. So

how many real or fake Wang Mansion purchases in other places?\nIf this is the case, who is driving all this in secret?\n—— Suddenly I felt that maybe the original owner of my body is not as wicked

as the rumors, right?\nThen, can the distance between me and Jiang Zhuo be closer because of this...

I couldn't help but have such an expectation.
