Chapter 256 - 256 You're Not Only Petty, But You're Also Stupid!
256 You’re Not Only Petty, But You’re Also Stupid!
Although the person opposite her didn’t say his identity directly, from the provocation in his words, it wasn’t difficult for Lin Suisui to guess why he was there this time!
To be so arrogant and keep mentioning Princess Ning Fu nonstop, he was most likely someone from the family that Lu Ze had mentioned to her previously!
Previously, she couldn’t understand why Lu Ze was so determined to attack these old families in the north. Now that she saw what the person in front of her had done, it wasn’t difficult to understand Lu Ze’s reasons.
Not to mention Lu Ze, even if it were her, she would probably want to eliminate this domineering overlord in the north as well!
“Madam Liu, you’re indeed smart! No wonder you humiliated Ning Fu so much that she couldn’t even speak!”
The man rode his horse two steps forward and stared at the tightly protected carriage in front of him disdainfully as he snorted. “I wonder if you can still say such righteous words to me like now if I cut your tongue!”
“Young Master Zhou, you’re quite arrogant!”
Su Le was already prepared to fight, but Wei Qing, who was riding his horse over, appeared at the right time and interrupted this battle.
Actually, Wei Qing’s appearance here was purely a coincidence.
The family general who had been sent by Pei Qian to help previously had returned today, so he naturally had to go over and take a look! Firstly, he wanted to understand the situation. Secondly, he wanted those followers who cared about him to see the progress of his recovery so that they could be at ease!
After all, he could stay in Cloud Mountain City to recuperate, but he still had to get someone to deal with military-related matters!
As soon as they met, they started chatting happily and lost track of the time.
However, he had actually encountered this scene! If it had been anyone else today, he might have just watched from the side. However, when he saw Su Le, he could guess who was sitting in the car.
“How did my sister offend you? Why are you blocking her way on the street?!”
Wei Qing rode over and stood in front of Zhou Hengchang. He was the second young master of the Zhou family and was considered a prominent figure in the north!
At the very least, compared to his father, who only knew how to womanize, and his brother, who was focused on making money, he was the true commander of the Zhou family’s 20,000 soldiers in the north!
Unfortunately, he was born a few years later than his brother!
Otherwise, his current status in the Zhou family wouldn’t be as precarious as it currently was!
He wasn’t the heir, but he controlled the Zhou family’s army and many people in the Zhou family were dissatisfied with this! However, his father didn’t care. As long as he himself didn’t have to go out to face the enemy, his father didn’t care about who controlled the Zhou family’s army!
But his brother didn’t think so!
As the heir of Marquis Suining Ministry and the legitimate next head of the Zhou family, how could he be unable to control the Zhou family’s army?!
It was probably because of this that Zhou Hengchang had no choice but to start thinking of other ways to deal with the situation!
Marrying Princess Ning Fu of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry was one of his countermeasures!
Although Duke Huai Yang’s ministry didn’t have a descendant, Princess Ning Fu’s title was bona fide! Not only was she titled, but she was also one of the few princesses in the empire who had a fief!
Although the fief was a little small, it happened to include the entire Cloud Mountain City.
Therefore, the true ruler of Cloud Mountain City was Princess Ning Fu!
And yet…
Whether it was Duke Huai Yang’s mother or Princess Ning Fu, they were not people who could actually ruler over an area! That was why they were bullied by General Gao’s family!
However, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry was very enticing to Zhou Hengchang!
As long as he married Princess Ning Fu, all the factions in the north would naturally belong to him!
With such a backer, no matter how unwilling the Zhou family was, they would have no choice but to submit to his control!
This was the reason why he came out to find trouble with Lin Suisui without caring about the consequences when he heard that Princess Ning Fu had been wronged!
If he could use this opportunity to reassure the beauty, why not?!
However, he didn’t expect that Madam Liu wasn’t a timid woman who only knew how to hide and scream. What was worse was that Wei Qing appeared as well.
“Sister? Why didn’t I know that you have a sister in the north?!” Zhou Hengchang stared at Wei Qing, who was blocking his way fearlessly. After a long time, he sneered and said, “Alright, I’ll give you face today!
However, I hope you can persuade your sister to just stay at home and keep out of trouble! She can’t afford to offend just anyone in the north!”
“Young Master Zhou, you don’t have to give me face! If my sister wants to do whatever she wants in the north, I, Wei Qing, will be the first to clear the way for her!
“I dare you to touch a single hair of hers!”
Wei Qing spat. If Zhou Hengchang had not warned him, things would have been fine, but now that Zhou Hengchang threatened them, how could Wei Qing back down?! He had the urge to pull out his saber and fight him!
“You dare me to? If I remember correctly, can you even still hold a knife with your arm?!” Wei Qing didn’t give in, but Zhou Hengchang wasn’t easy to deal with either!
He glanced at Wei Qing’s right arm disdainfully and snorted in contempt. “If I were you, I wouldn’t continue to stay in the north and embarrass myself! Go back and find someone to treat your arm!
What do you plan to use to fight the enemy in the future?! You can’t just stand at the back and rely on arguing to survive, right?!”
“You don’t have to worry about General Wei’s arm! He only needs to recuperate for a while more before he can continue to mount his horse and draw his bow to kill the enemy. He won’t be unable to lead the army into battle in the future!
“On the other hand, as a general, you clearly know why Little General Wei’s arm was injured, but facing this comrade who defended against foreign enemies, not only do you not have any respect for him, but you also mock him. A petty person like you is actually worthy of being a general!”
Lin Suisui pushed open the carriage door and scolded Zhou Hengchang before Wei Qing could attack.
“That’s right! Mr. Zhou, not only are you petty, but you’re also stupid! Just because a woman complained to you, you lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong and came to threaten my sister!
“Do you know why my sister went to cause trouble for Duke Huai Yang’s ministry this time?!” Hearing Lin Suisui speak up for him, Wei Qing was extremely smug. He looked at Zhou Hengchang as he spoke up for Lin Suisui.
