Chuchu followed the sound to look over. The white-clothed Qiao Heting was still in the flamboyant nobleman’s posture. He walked in, shaking a gold-drawn paper fan. His handsome face was full of sarcasm.

The Fourth Old Mr. Ye did not know Qiao Heting. Seeing such a young and elegant man swaggering in, he took several more glances at him.

Probably because Qiao Heting’s clothes were luxurious and gave off a noble vibe, unlike a child of an ordinary family, he did not dare to come up and be rude to Qiao Heting.

“Who are you? How dare you stop the official from doing his job?” Fourth Old Mr. Ye stared coldly at Qiao Heting.

“An official on an errand? Why don’t I see any official here? You are faking the court’s order. Do you have any respect for the law of the emperor?”

“Brat, this is Guangqing Province. I guessed from your accent that you are not a local, right? Mind your own business, or it won’t do you any good!”

“Oh, is this a threat? No one in my past years has ever threatened me. You are the first!” Qiao Heting forced a half-smile. “But offending me won’t do you any good either!”

“Don’t you know how to show some appreciation of favor? Do you know what kind of people are short-lived? Nosy people!”

Qiao Heting put his fan away, hid his mouth behind it, and laughed lightly. “How interesting. I didn’t think there were people with such guts in Guangqing Province.”

“Brat, walk away or not?” Fourth Old Mr. Ye darkened.

“Leaving? I came to the Yuan clan for an urgent matter today. Before I finish my business, no one will make me leave!”

“What? You also plan to tie the knot with the Yuan clan?”

Qiao Heting looked surprised. “Huh? How could you know it? You even used the word ‘also.’ Can’t it be that you are also here to propose marriage? But it doesn’t look like it. You look more like you’re here to start a feud!”

“How dare you! You don’t have the right to speak here.”

Qiao Heting swept a glance at Fourth Old Mr. Ye and then came to Old Mrs.

Yuan with broad steps and bowed his hands. “You must be Old Mrs. Yuan? I am Qiao Heting of the Qiao clan from the Imperial City, and I came here today to propose marriage to the eldest daughter of your clan, Miss Yuan.” Hearing this, Old Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan stood up abruptly.

People of the Ye and Hong clans also froze for a moment.

Old Mrs. Yuan asked quickly, “Kid, what did you just say?”

“I am Qiao Heting of the Qiao clan from the Imperial City, and I came here today to propose marriage to the eldest daughter of your clan, Miss Yuan. I hope you can agree to it.”

“The Qiao clan of the Imperial City. Is it the Duke Ding’s clan?”

“Exactly. ”

Old Mrs. Yuan was overjoyed and was a bit dazed by this unexpected news, and even felt like she was dreaming.

How else could it not feel real at all?

The Duke Ding’s son had come to marry her Huihui!

Old Mrs. Yuan initially thought that Mrs. Ding would be a matchmaker for Yuan Hui, but she never expected that Mrs. Ding would make the match for her son.

That’s Duke Ding’s clan! The most honored nobleman in the Imperial City. The Ye clan had heard that there was a family in the Imperial City who wanted to marry the Yuan clan, but at that time, they thought it was a deliberate rumor from the Yuan clan to scare them off.

But now, a nobleman from the Imperial City had arrived, and he was the son of the Duke!

Fourth Old Mr. Ye was a little panicked.

The capital city of Guangqing Province was the territory of the Ye clan. Still, unless his elder brother were going to stay in Guangqing Province as a fellow governor for the rest of his life, he would never be able to avoid dealing with people from the Imperial City.

“By the way, this is the bride price from the Duke’s clan.”

Qiao Heting cut to the chase without any ambiguity. He gently clapped his hands.

Immediately, lifts of gold and silver, silk, antiques, paintings, and exotic treasures were brought in an endless stream from outside the door, and soon the front yard was piled high.

The Duke’s clan was so generous that it embarrassed the Ye and Hong clans. Only then did Qiao Heting look at Fourth Old Mr. Ye. “See? This is called proposing marriage. What you did is making a feud!”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye knew there was no way the man was a fake when he saw Old Mrs. Yuan’s reaction.

The Yuan clan didn’t have the guts to have someone impersonate the Duke’s son.

Thinking the sure thing was messed up, he got angry.

He decided once. “Someone, arrest this person who is pretending to be the son of Duke Ding!”

He intended to catch the person, kill him, and push a few scapegoats out.

The Yuan clan belonged to the Ye clan, and even the Duke’s clan could not get their hands on it.

Anyway, the Imperial City was far away. It would take at least seven or eight days for the news to be heard in the Imperial City. By then, he would already finish the matter.

Chuchu applauded. “Wow, isn’t the Ye family the emperor of Guangqing Province? Not only do you fake the government’s orders, but now you don’t even have little respect for the son of Duke Ding, and you dare to lay a hand on him. That’s very, very eye-opening.”

The Fourth Old Mr. Ye snorted coldly. “He is just a faker you hired. The Duke clan was so honored. How could they tie the knot with the Yuan clan? Old Mrs. Yuan, are you daydreaming, or do you treat everyone here as fools?” “Don’t talk nonsense with this fake son of Duke. Take him, throw him into jail!” In for a penny, as they said. He wanted to finish him off once and for all.

Anyway, he wouldn’t be held responsible once the fake son of Duke was put into jail and died.

Chuchu could see what was in his mind and let out a sigh.

Why were there so many stupid people?

Was the Duke clan someone he could afford to offend?

Didn’t he know many hidden guards were protecting Qiao Heting in secret?

He must be tired of living.

As expected, as soon as the people of the Ye clan made their move, Qiao Heting’s hidden guards showed up and beat up these rabble-rousers easily.

Before Fourth Old Mr. Ye could react, he was pressed to the ground by the hidden guards, his face close to the ground, piercingly chill to the bone.

Qiao Heting was still in his natural and unrestrained posture. He walked to Fourth Old Mr. Ye while shaking his fan. “My whole life, you are the first person who is so arrogant in front of me! You probably haven’t heard any rumors about me. Although I am literate, I am also merciless!”

Fourth Old Mr. Ye was chilled. “I’m too blind to recognize you. Please forgive me. I’ll kowtow to admit my mistake. Please.”

“It’s too late. No one can be forgiven after offending me.” Qiao Heting smiled brightly. “Someone, clean his clock!”

The hidden guards heard the words and did it immediately.

The miserable scream of Fourth Old Mr. Ye resounded over the Yuan’s house.

His two legs were cut off at the knee.

The bloody scene frightened the crowd. They all looked fearful.

Qiao Heting looked at it all without a change of his expression.

“Help him stop the bleeding. How bad luck if someone dies on such a great day.”

“Yes.”

The hidden guards took out some medicine and sprinkled it on the wound. They also sealed the acupuncture points around it so that he wouldn’t bleed to death.

Afterward, Qiao Heting looked at the one from the Hong clan.

He kneeled on the ground immediately. “Sir, Mercy! Please spare my life. I was forced to do so. Otherwise, the Ye clan will not let us live in peace. We are just a small cloth merchant.. How could we compete with the Ye clan? Please show mercy!”
