Chapter 1201: Incident

Though the restaurant was quite lively, they were welcomed in by shopkeeper Qian as soon as they entered. “Greetings to the masters. The private room has been prepared.”

Shopkeeper Qian was very warm towards the five of them. The two male masters often came to the restaurant to eat, but the two female mistresses and young masters rarely came.

It wasn’t easy for Queen Consort Rong and the young masters to come here, so Shopkeeper Qian treated them with great enthusiasm.

Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia couldn’t stand Shopkeeper Qian’s enthusiasm, so after ordering their food, they let him go down.

Shopkeeper Qian’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately sobered up. After all, he was an experienced shopkeeper. As soon as he sobered up, he immediately bowed and left.

Seeing Mu Yangling heave a sigh of relief, Little Madam Xia couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re the mistress. Why are you afraid of him?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid of him. It’s just that I’m overwhelmed by his enthusiasm.” Mu Yangling poured a glass of water for the children and grabbed the three children who were running around the private room. “Drink some water before running.”

Little Leopard took the cup and drank the water in one gulp. Then, he threw down the cup and hugged Little Fu as he shouted happily, “I’ve caught you!”

Little Fu stopped drinking water and directly broke free from Little Leopard’s hand and ran. Although Little Leopard was younger than Little Fu, he was nimble and easily blocked Little Fu right away. Little Fu had no choice but to rush out of the private room, laughing as he did so.

Unable to stop them in time, Mu Yangling could only grab Baozhu and stuff her into Little Madam Xia’s arms before turning around to chase after the two brats.

As soon as the door of the private room opened, the sound from outside came in. The two brats were running from left to right as they chased and dodged. When Mu Yangling came out, the two of them had already run to the corridor.

Mu Yangling was furious, but she couldn’t shout out their names in the restaurant. Afraid that she would scare them, she could only quicken her pace and rush over to them. However, Little Fu and Little Leopard suddenly stopped at the staircase and looked down curiously.

Mu Yangling came up behind them and happened to see a group of people rushing in from below as they called out to everyone, “Hurry over to take a look! Prince An brought people to destroy the rice fields of Prime Minister Rong’s family…”

Mu Yangling was stunned, and the audience was already in an uproar. “Nonsense, who doesn’t know that Prince An is on good terms with Prime Minister Rong?”

“Considering there’s no feud between them, why would he destroy his farmland for no reason?”

Mu Yangling grabbed a child with each hand and walked back. “If you run out again, I’ll tie you up.”

Dangling from Mu Yangling’s hand, Little Fu said, “They’re talking about my daddy.”

“That’s all fake. Your father is very reliable.” Fan Zijin was not Qi Haoran. She did not believe that he would do such a thing.

Little Leopard also struggled as he shouted, “But Second Brother and Third Brother are with Second Uncle.”

Mu Yangling froze and quickened her pace as she carried the two children back to the private room.

The noisy crowd downstairs had already been appeased. When Shopkeeper Qian appeared with a smile, everyone remembered that this restaurant seemed to belong to Prince An.

Not wanting to offend Prince An on his territory, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

Mu Yangling called Xiao Ting over and said, “Go and find out what happened.”

She was not worried about the four brats, but she was worried about Fan Zijin. In any case, it was common for the four brats to cause trouble.

However, this was the first time Fan Zijin had brought the children out alone and he did not have any experience dealing with them getting into trouble. If he messed up this first time, would he still be willing to bring the brats out in the future?

Mu Yangling peered outside the city worriedly, hoping that Fan Zijin could hold on.

At this moment, Fan Zijin had already calmed down from his madness. He looked at the person rolling in the mud and pointed at the half-destroyed farmland below. “Don’t just stand there. Continue fighting. No one is allowed to leave until the winner emerges!”

Dong Mao, who was being pressed down by Tiger Head, was stunned for a moment. Then, he let out a roar and wanted to flip Tiger Head over. However, reality was cruel. One push from Tiger Head and Dong Mao continued to struggle in the mud. Dong Mao was so angry that he punched the mud with his hand and shouted, “Fan Zijin, don’t go overboard. You’re a Prince, and my brother-in-law is the Prime Minister!”

Fan Zijin snorted and ordered, “Tiger Head, beat him up!”

Tiger Head immediately carried out the order. When the Dong Mao’s sidekick, a fellow profligate son, saw this, he hesitated for a moment but did not dare to go forward knowing that it was King Rong’s son. The opponent’s fantastic martial arts skills were secondary. What the sidekick feared was that if he hit King Rong’s son, King Rong would come after him. After all, it was well known that Qi Haoran wasn’t a person who suffered losses. Furthermore, King Rong had the backing of the Emperor. Thus, they were truly terrified.

Hence, Dong Mao, who was in his twenties, was suppressed by Tiger Head, who was only in his early teens. Little Lion and Qi Wensu’s blood boiled as they watched, and they rushed forward to help. Hence, it became three against one. Meanwhile, Little An went to knead the mud into a ball and smashed Dong Mao with a mud ball from time to time…

As Fan Zijin watched, his anger at being interrupted lessened.

When the fight was over, Fan Zijin looked at Dong Mao, who was paralyzed in the mud, and said to Tiger Head and Little Lion in disdain, “Drag him over.”

Tiger Head and Little Lion immediately grabbed each other’s hands and pulled them to the side of the field. Fan Zijin lifted his robe in disdain and took a step forward before squatting on the field. He whispered to Dong Mao, who was lying in the field, “You’re really an idiot. If it weren’t for your brother-in-law, I wouldn’t be willing to beat you up.”

Dong Mao glared at Fan Zijin. Unfortunately, he did not even have the strength to speak now and could only express his fury with his eyes.

Fan Zijin snorted and waved at the four boys who looked like clay figurines. “Let’s go back home.”

The four boys immediately walked to Fan Zijin’s side valiantly.

Although Fan Zijin really wanted to beat them up, after glancing at the onlookers, he decided to go back first.

Because this incident was not part of the plan, Fan Zijin was very unhappy. This was the first time he realized the difference between the children and Qi Haoran.

The children were equivalent to four or more Qi Haorans. In the past, Fan Zijin only needed to clean up one Qi Haoran’s mess. But now, he had to clean up the mess for four Qi Haorans. Most importantly, Qi Haoran listened to him. The cousins could communicate telepathically, so Fan Zijin could easily command him.

However, these four brats kept charging forward even when he jumped and shouted for them to stop. There was no way to manage them.

This was the first time Fan Zijin experienced Mu Yangling’s hardships. How did she manage these rascals who refused to listen to orders?

Fan Zijin despised the fact that the four children were covered in mud. He looked at his glamorous and clean carriage and then at the guards’ horses. After hesitating for a moment between embarrassing them and destroying his carriage, he decisively chose to embarrass them. “You can ride your horses back. Oh right, smear mud on your faces too, lest anyone manages to identify you.”

Then, he said to the people still in the field, “If you have any grievances, you can look for me or King Rong in the capital. We will definitely stand up for you.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was instantly horrified. Was Prince An determined to become enemies with Prime Minister Rong?

Weren’t they good friends?
