Just as Qin Chuyu was trying to climb the tree, the Crown Princess appeared.
She was a very calm person in normal days, but people's fear of the unknown could always drown one’s reason. Without saying anything at all, Gu Jiao beat her up, which made her feel so frightened that she couldn't even care about her manners and identity at this moment.
When she saw Qin Chuyu, it was like seeing a life-saving straw; she quickly threw herself at Qin Chuyu, "Little Seven——"
Qin Chuyu finally climbed a few feet high. When he turned around, a pig's face suddenly came to his view. He was so scared that he yelled, "Ghost!"
Then she kicked a foot towards the other party's face!
The Crown Princess' only intact nose was kicked by Qin Chuyu, causing it to bleed profusely!
Qin Chuyu was even more frightened, "Ahhh! I can't make it! I'm going to fall down!"
Qin Chuyu's arms and legs went weak and he fell down to the ground.
Seeing this, Little Jing Kong and Xu Zhouzhou climbed down to help him.
The Crown Princess held back the sharp pain, covered her bleeding nose and said, "Little Seven, it's me! Your imperial sister-in-law! Where are your servants and your carriage? Quickly leave with your imperial sister-in-law!"
In her excitement, she even forgot to hide her own and Qin Chuyu’s identity as a member of the imperial family. It was just that Little Jing Kong and Xu Zhouzhou were unable to make sense of what they were hearing. What yellow sister-in-law or red sister-in-law?!
[T/N: The chinese character for the word imperial and yellow have the same pronunciation(huáng) but written differently, as for red, it has a close-sounding character(hóng)]
"Ahhh! Don't come here!" Qin Chuyu was greatly frightened by the ghostly appearance of the Crown Princess and backed away on the ground.
Little Jing Kong was a clever child, and combined with his rich life experience, he instantly came to a conclusion, "Brother Little Seven, Brother Zhouzhou, she is a paihuazi(abductor)!"
It was the same trick that those several paihuazi used to kidnap him and Brother Ming'er before!
Pretending to know them, claiming that they were children of their family; no one even suspected that they were abducting them!
Xu Zhouzhou thought that Little Jing Kong made a lot of sense. As for Qin Chuyu, this was indeed not the imperial sister-in-law in his memory. As a result, the three of them unanimously believed that the other party was a paihuazi trying to abduct a child.
These paihuazi mustn’t be tolerated!
Thus, the three little buns, with an overwhelming sense of justice, each found a stick and beat the paihuazi severely.
After being mercilessly pummeled by Gu Jiao's small fist, the Crown Princess was once again beaten up by the Imperial Academy’s three little thugs with sticks.
And with Qin Chuyu taking the lead, who could she go to to complain——
On the other hand, Marquis Xuanping was completely oblivious to the miserable experience of the Crown Princess. He got into his carriage back to the estate, with Chang Jing serving as the coachman.
The carriage was halfway down the road when he suddenly asked Chang Jing to stop the carriage.
“Chang Jing.” He called.
"Hm?" Chang Jing turned around and lifted open the curtain to look at him.
Without any lantern inside, the interior of the carriage was slightly dim, but the light from the lanterns in the streets as well as the moonlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains and fell on Marquis Xuanping's face, which had grown more mature and handsome over the years.
Chang Jing was face blind and simply couldn’t tell which part of this person's face was good-looking.
Marquis Xuanping sighed, "Do you have something you fear?"
Chang Jing thought carefully before shaking his head, "No."
Marquis Xuanping looked at him suspiciously, "Really nothing?"
Chang Jing looked down, then said, "Cockroaches." [T/N: Same, especially flying ones. XD]
Marquis Xuanping:“…”
You, an assassin from the grand Hidden Night Sect, were afraid of cockroaches?
"Dirty." Chang Jing explained with grievance.
Chang Jing had once eaten a few cockroaches in his meal when he was very young, which was someone else's deliberate action to disgust him, and it did make him feel sick to his stomach. Since then, whenever he saw cockroaches, he would remember how he had eaten them, and his scalp would go numb.
Marquis Xuanping raised an eyebrow and said with some pride, "At least Ah Heng is afraid of cats. He is more promising than you."
Chang Jing felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth. Was that really something to be proud of?
Then again, Marquis Xuanping really didn't expect Ah Heng to be afraid of cats. Thinking about it again, he was such an incompetent father that he didn't even know his son's phobia.
Marquis Xuanping struggled for a moment before deciding in his heart. He said, "Don't go back to the estate yet, head to Bishui Alley, and find me a cat."
Chang Jing soon found a stray cat on the side of the road. Marquis Xuanping carried the pitiful little stray cat, and his eyebrows frowned. Could this thing really find out if he was Ah Heng or not?
Seeing that Gu Jiao and Little Jing Kong still hadn’t returned home after dark, Xiao Liulang decided to go out and look for them. He had just crossed the threshold of the front yard when he saw a familiar carriage parked at the courtyard gate.
Marquis Xuanping sat in the outer seat of the carriage, carrying the stray cat in disgust.
He made up his mind to test Xiao Liulang with this cat. However, just as Xiao Liulang walked out the gate, he instinctively stuffed the cat into Chang Jing's arms and blocked Chang Jing with his wide body.
He moved so fast that Xiao Liulang didn't even see the cat, only thinking the other party was acting strangely.
Xiao Liulang ignored him and went out of the alley with a straight face.
Chang Jing looked at the stray cat that was suddenly shoved into his arms and asked, "No more testing?"
Marquis Xuanping sighed, "No more." At least not with something he feared.
"Why?" Chang Jing was puzzled.
Marquis Xuanping let out a sigh, "I’m afraid, in case he is really Ah Heng."
Chang Jing looked at the stray cat in his arms, then at Marquis Xuanping, asking, "Isn't it a good thing if he really is Young Master Ah Heng?"
Marquis Xuanping said bitterly, "No. If it’s him, he‘ll be scared by the cat."
Understanding complex emotions was one shortcoming of an assassin. Just as Gu Jiao couldn’t comprehend Yao shi's emotional choices, Chang Jing couldn’t understand Marquis Xuanping's caution in front of Xiao Liulang.
Chang Jing asked, "Do you still want this cat?"
Marquis Xuanping replied quietly, "No, and clear the estate of all stray cats."
……
The two court ladies finally found the Crown Princess in the orchard, who had been treated as a Paihuazi. The words ‘beyond recognition’ were no longer enough to describe the Crown Princess’s appearance. When the court ladies saw that Qin Chuyu was the one who took the lead in beating people, they simply didn't know what to do.
It was simply impossible to order an arrest against the other party. After all, the Crown Princess might be an imperial daughter-in-law, but Qin Chuyu was a Di son of the Emperor and the Empress.
Furthermore, being beaten up like this because people thought she was a paihuazi was simply too humiliating. If the word spread out, what about their Crown Princess's face?
In the end, on the pretext of taking people to authorities, the two court ladies escorted… er, no, dragged the Crown Princess away.
When Qin Chuyu returned to the palace, he boasted to his imperial father about beating a paihuazi, and was highly praised by the Emperor.
