Chapter 176 Good impression
On the other side, in the residence of Taifu Zhao, Prince Zhou Yao had indeed begun to be obsessed with her just as Chen Manli had guessed. At this moment, he was holding Chen Manli's portrait, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, staring intently at the lively and agile woman in pink in the painting.
Jin Chuan, the servant standing behind the prince, muttered to himself, "Could it be that the young master has fallen in love? Ever since returning home, he has been immersed in painting the portrait of the girl in pink. After completing it, he has been staring at the painting non-stop, occasionally even smiling."
"Knock knock knock... Yaoer, are you asleep?" Before he finished speaking, a woman in luxurious clothes pushed the door open and walked in.
Upon seeing this, Crown Prince Zhou Yao hurriedly picked up some pieces of paper to cover the portrait of Miss Chen San, then stood up, saluted the woman, and called out, "Mother."
Princess Zhao Sang'er of Anding looked at her son's slightly flustered expression and asked curiously, "Yao'er, what are you doing? Why do you look a little flustered?"
Zhou Yao realized that his behavior might have aroused his mother's suspicion. He quickly changed the subject and pointed at the bowl in his mother's hand and said, "Mom, are you here to bring me soup again?"
Princess Anding replied gently, "Yes, drinking some hot soup will help you sleep better."
At this time, Nanny You, who was standing behind Princess Anding, also echoed, "This is the old hen soup that the princess specially ordered the cook to simmer over low heat. It also contains some precious medicinal herbs. It's very good for your health!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yao hurriedly thanked his mother, took the bowl, and drank the chicken soup in big gulps.
Seeing her son drink the chicken soup so obediently, Princess Anding felt very relieved and then left the room with peace of mind.
However, just as she was about to step out of her son's room, Princess Anding suddenly stopped and turned to Nanny You and said, "Nanny You, find a chance to call Yao'er's servant Jin Chuan over tomorrow. I have something to ask him."
Nanny You quickly agreed, "Yes, Princess."
Princess Zhao Sang'er of Anding felt that her son was so flustered just now, as if he was hiding something, and Jin Chuan, as his closest servant, might know some of the inside story.
On the other side, at the Su Mansion, Su Yu was concentrating on practicing his "Wudao Jue" in the space. He vaguely felt that he was about to reach the edge of the third level.
So he decided to continue to circulate his spiritual energy with all his strength, constantly circulating it, hoping to break through this level as soon as possible. Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sky gradually brightened.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door. Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, knowing that it was daybreak again and a new day was about to begin. He stood up, stretched, and then left the space in an instant.
He tidied his clothes and hair, opened the door, and then washed up with the help of the servants. Su Yu walked out of the room and breathed the fresh morning air. His eyes were bright and he was always ready to face new challenges and exercises.
After Master Anhuo and everyone gathered, he shouted sternly: "Run!", and then all the young men and women ran towards the mountain.
On the other side of Happiness Lane, the sun shines on the cobblestone road, making it seem particularly peaceful. Fragrant aroma wafts from Mrs. Tao's house as she prepares breakfast for the day.
Suddenly, a series of rapid knocks on the door broke the silence, "Bang, bang, bang!"
When Mrs. Tao heard the sound, she quickly put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands with a wet cloth, then hurried to the door and opened it. As soon as she stuck her head out, a familiar and disgusting face appeared in front of her - Liu Ermaizi with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
Madam Tao was startled and wanted to close the door immediately, but it was too late. Liu Ermaizi seemed to have expected her to do this. He quickly stretched out a foot and blocked the gap in the door, preventing Madam Tao from closing the door tightly.
Liu Ermazi showed a smug smile and said in a servile tone, "Madam Tao, don't be so anxious to close the door. Why don't you ask me why I came to see you?"
Mrs. Tao rolled her eyes at him and replied unhappily, "You can do whatever you want, just don't come to my house!"
After saying this, Madam Tao glared at Liu Ermaizi, pretending to be fierce, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
However, Liu Ermaizi was not afraid of her threat at all. Instead, he suddenly pushed the door open and squeezed into the house.
He said with a grin, "Madam Tao, I just wanted to come over and help you. I heard that you can't find anyone to help deliver vinegar recently. I, Liu Er, can deliver the vinegar to you for free." As he spoke, he put his hand on Madam Tao's shoulder, then put his arms around her and hugged her tightly.
Mrs. Tao's face flushed crimson instantly, and she angrily said, "Liu Ermazi, let me go! Don't touch me, I'm a married woman!"
However, her attitude of rejection made Liu Ermaizi even more excited. He hugged her tighter and dragged her into the house. He completely ignored her slapping and resistance and threw her directly onto the big bed.
Madam Tao was filled with fear, but what frightened her even more was that her young daughter Niuniu was lying on the bed. She shouted in panic, "Please let me go! Let me go."
Liu Ermaizi said anxiously: "I have finally entered your door, how can I bear to leave? Let me see you, look at your tender skin that is so tender that it can be pinched to produce water." As he said that, he tore Madam Tao Qing's collar with force.
Mrs. Tao Qing slapped the man who was pressing on her, trying to push him away, but no matter how strong the man was, he was much stronger than the woman, and she couldn't push him away. So Tao Qing said angrily: "Liu Ermaizi, you are worse than a beast!"
On the inside of the bed, Niu Niu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her eyes, and the scene in front of her was beyond her comprehension. A strange man was holding her mother, pressing her on the bed, and groping around, while her mother was struggling desperately and cursing.
Niu Niu came to her senses instantly. She realized that this ugly uncle was bullying her mother and she had to find someone to help.
Liu Ermazi took this opportunity to take advantage of the woman under him, and his hands moved up and down wantonly. Just as he was trying to untie the woman's belt, he suddenly heard a childish voice: "What game are you playing? Niuniu wants to play too!"
Mrs. Tao's heart sank suddenly, fearing that the beast Liu Ermaizi would hurt her daughter.
Liu Ermaizi looked at the chubby little girl in front of him, with an evil light flashing in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes, with a lewd smile on his lips, and asked softly: "Who do you want to play with?"
Niuniu opened her big watery eyes and answered innocently, "Niuniu wants to play with the kitten." Then she climbed down from the bed, bent her little body, and walked while calling, "Kitty, where are you? Kitty..."
Seeing that she was just a small baby, Liu Ermaizi didn't bother to pay any more attention to her, thinking, what could a child understand? He had more important things to do. As long as he could get this little widow and make her his woman, wouldn't the entire vinegar factory belong to him?
However, he did not notice that the little girl had quietly opened the door and ran to the door of the neighbor's house with her short legs.
Then she knocked on the door gently and called in a low voice: "Is anyone there? Is Uncle Wang here? Is anyone there?" Niu Niu was very anxious, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear of being heard by the ugly uncle. She could only knock on the door carefully.
At this time, Old Man Wang and little boy Wang San had already gotten up and had breakfast. Old Man Wang was about to chop wood, but when he picked up the axe, he thought of his eldest son and didn't know how his son was doing.
Until he heard the sound outside the door, Old Man Wang hurriedly opened the door. Looking at the anxious little girl outside, he asked hurriedly: "What's the matter, Niuniu? Why are you running so fast? Are you delivering goods again?"
In the two days since Old Man Wang came back, he had helped Madam Tao deliver goods several times, so he subconsciously thought that he had to deliver goods again.
However, this time it was different. Niu Niu pulled his big hand and tried desperately to drag him out, "Uncle Wang, come with Niu Niu quickly."
Old Man Wang was confused, but he still followed Niu Niu and quickly walked towards Madam Tao's house. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a sharp scream: "No, stop it!" The woman's voice was full of fear and helplessness.
As soon as Old Man Wang heard what had happened, his face instantly turned gloomy. He dragged his leg, which had just recovered a little, into the house and saw Liu Ermaizi pressing on Madam Tao and pulling at her clothes.
Flames of anger burned in Old Man Wang's eyes. He strode forward without hesitation and pulled Liu Ermaizi off Madam Tao like a chick.
Then, Old Man Wang started punching and kicking Liu Ermaizi violently, with each punch filled with anger, "You beast, you are in heat in broad daylight."
Each punch from Old Man Wang was heavier than the last, and they kept hitting Liu Ermaizi until he curled up into a ball and kept wailing in pain.
After a while, Liu Ermaizi was beaten black and blue. He begged for mercy again and again: "Brother Wang, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again." But Old Man Wang did not stop his actions and continued to teach him a lesson severely.
Finally, Old Man Wang felt that it was enough, so he tied up Liu Ermaizi and dragged him all the way to the county government office. Along the way, Liu Ermaizi kept begging for mercy, but Old Man Wang ignored him.
A quarter of an hour later, they finally arrived at the county government office. After handing the man over to the officer, Old Man Wang left. Liu Ermaizi in the county government office looked at Old Man Wang who was leaving with resentment in his eyes. This Wang family, both big and small, likes to meddle in other people's business. Just wait and see, he will suffer the consequences, humph...
