Chapter 261 - 261 "If You Kneel Down and Kowtow To My Wife. I'll Spare You This Time!"
261 “If You Kneel Down and Kowtow To My Wife. I’ll Spare You This Time!”
“It’s fine if you make a mistake, but you have to make up for it!
You all defended, hid, and escaped, but none of you admitted your mistakes or repented!
If I let a group of people like you continue to work here, I’m afraid there will be even more trouble!
You can ignore the lives of others, but I can’t!
I can’t correct your thoughts, but I can prevent any accidents. At the very least, I can let you leave before you cause more trouble for me!”
Lin Suisui stared at the girls for a long time. There was fear, indignation, and frustration on their faces, but they didn’t feel guilty towards the soldiers who might have been hurt by their actions.
This made the last trace of kindness she had towards the women in front of her disappear. She turned to look at Doctor Luo and said, “Let’s arrange this matter like this.”
Doctor Luo nodded and retreated to the side slightly as he watched Yuan Niang and Lin Suisui leave.
The women in the room stuck their heads out and watched Lin Suisui leave. Only then did they gather indignantly and talk about their families’ difficulties, in hopes that Doctor Luo would give them another chance.
However, Doctor Luo, who had always been easygoing, was very determined this time. Just like Lin Suisui, he decisively rejected these women’s pleas and instructed someone to distribute payment to them. No matter how unwilling they were, he instructed them to be sent away.
When Lin Suisui left the courtyard, she saw Su Le coming up to her and reporting in a low voice, “Your Highness, His Highness sent someone to say that he’s discussing something in the teahouse now. If you don’t have any other arrangements, you can go over and pick him up.”
“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded. She had no objections to this arrangement.
Su Suisui was happy with Lin Suisui’s approval and simply arranged for someone to rush in the direction of Xingsheng Teahouse.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the thriving teahouse wasn’t as harmonious as Su Le had said.
When Zhou Hengchang followed Wei Qing to the private seat on the third floor of the Xingsheng Teahouse, Lu Ze had already been there for a long time.
Just the back view of the figure standing by the window made Zhou Hengchang nervous. He stared at the man in front of him for a long time before taking the initiative to say, “May I know what you want to talk to me about?!”
“I should be the one asking you about this!” Lu Ze slowly turned around. His black robe and jade belt accentuated his straight figure. If not for his understanding of Lu Ze’s past, Zhou Hengchang wouldn’t have believed that such a noble man was once a hunter in the wilderness.
Was that possible?!
“When I was returning home yesterday, I was frightened by your horse! I wonder why you stopped me?!”
“It’s just a misunderstanding. Mr. Gu, don’t tell me you’re fussing over such a small matter?!” Zhou Hengchang sized up Lu Ze. Although he didn’t know Lu Ze’s background for the time being, he didn’t want to give up on probing him.
Of course, more importantly, even though he knew that he had been rash yesterday, he couldn’t admit it now!
“You’re wrong. I’m actually a fussy person!”
Before Lu Ze could finish speaking, he had already moved.
Ever since Zhou Hengchang accepted Wei Qing’s invitation and decided to come over, he had thought of the possibility of revenge. However, he didn’t expect this man to choose to do it himself!
Moreover, he attacked without any warning!
Zhou Hengchang dealt with the attack in a hurry. The martial arts he had trained in since he was young came in handy at this time and he could more or less block the attack at the beginning, but only barely.
Even though Zhou Hengchang resisted with all his might, he could only withstand seven to eight moves from Lu Ze in the end. Then, Lu Ze grabbed his throat and dragged him out of the window. He ignored the screams of the pedestrians on the street outside the window and said, “Do you admit your mistake or not?!”
“I, I don’t…” Zhou Hengchang’s face turned red. He didn’t have to lower his head to know how miserable his current state was!
He finally understood why this guy chose the highest third floor despite booking the entire restaurant…
So this was what he had planned!
“No?” Lu Ze sneered and tightened his grip. “I know what you’re thinking. With your martial arts skills, you won’t die after falling from here, right?!
“But if I knock you out and throw you down, what are your chances of survival if you’re unlucky and your head lands first?!”
“My family…”
Zhou Hengchang gritted his teeth and tried to resist one last time. Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Ze’s disdainful sneer. “Why don’t you try it? Let’s see if anyone in your family dares to say no to me now!”
These words were like a sharp blade that pierced through Zhou Hengchang’s final persistence. He finally gave up resisting and chose to accept his fate dejectedly. “Alright, I admit my mistake.”
Without him, the Zhou family wouldn’t end up any better than the current Duke Huai Yang’s ministry!
After all, his father and his brother, who only knew how to compete and show off, would only end up being plundered by those people who had long coveted the Zhou family’s assets!
“In that case, when my wife comes later, I hope to see a repentant attitude when you admit your mistake.” Although Lu Ze loosened his grip and let Zhou Hengchang breath again, he still didn’t lift him back from the window.
“What do you want?” Zhou Hengchang said through gritted teeth.
“If you kneel down and kowtow to my wife, I’ll let you off this time!” Lu Ze tightened his grip again.
In the end, his life was more important, so although Zhou Hengchang felt humiliated, he had no choice but to agree to Lu Ze’s request.
When Lin Suisui came over, the commotion here had already calmed down. Although she felt that the atmosphere inside was a little off, she didn’t think too much about it.
Su Qi was waiting at the door. When he saw Lin Suisui get out of the carriage, he came forward and bowed respectfully before reporting to her in a low voice, “Your Highness, Sir is waiting for you upstairs.”
Lin Suisui went upstairs under Su Qi’s guidance. When she entered the private room, she was surprised to find that not only was Lu Ze sitting in the private room, but Zhou Hengchang, who had blocked her way on the street yesterday, was also there!
“Madam Liu, I was rude yesterday. Please forgive my recklessness and rudeness!” When Zhou Hengchang saw Lin Suisui enter, he knelt down in front of her. Then, he cupped his fists and apologized.
