Chapter 11: This Old Man Was Really Nice

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The prefectural magistrate had heard that someone was causing trouble in front of General Zhengxi’s residence. How would that be acceptable?

Hence, he personally brought two groups of bailiffs to the General’s Mansion.

The gong opened the way, and a group of people aggressively arrived at the entrance of the General Zhengxi’s Mansion. Madam Bai immediately straightened her neck.

She glared at Li Da, who was tired and fell to the ground.

The guards of the Ye Residence were also beaten up.

“Madam, is there a villain causing trouble?”

The governor got out of the sedan chair and went straight to Madam Bai, looking righteous.

“Governor, it’s good that you’re here. There’s a villain causing trouble. Please make a decision.”

Madam Bai greeted him with a proud expression as she glared at Li Da, who was fanning Ye Qingge.

“Preposterous! Men, arrest the criminals and bring them back to the government office.”

The prefectural magistrate waved his hand, and the bailiffs stepped forward to take Li Da away.

“I say, Gao Sheng, you’ve really f*cking become an official. You’re arresting me without even asking?”

Although Li Da was strong and tall, it did not affect him at all. He bounced up from the ground like a ball.

He roared at Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng frowned. For some reason, he felt that this voice sounded a little familiar.

Gao Sheng turned around and looked at the fatty in coarse clothes. He used his sleeve to cover his face and turned to leave.

It was really a bad year. Why did he meet a living butcher when he went out?

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Li Da arrived in front of Gao Sheng in three steps and grabbed Gao Sheng’s hand that was covering his face.

Gao Sheng had no choice but to roll down his sleeves and look at Li Da with a flattering smile. “Brother Li, are you alright? I don’t want to criticize you, but why did you come to the general’s residence to cause trouble? Aren’t you making things difficult for me?”

Gao Sheng shook his hand. How could he get involved in this matter?

General Zhanbei and General Zhengxi had been at odds for many years. When did they not drag a few people down with them when they caused trouble?

Other people always hid away from them, but today, he actually came knocking on their door.

“Bullsh*t. I’m here to send someone back to the residence. That woman came up and scolded General Zhanbei for being a dirty place. She even said that I’m just like a cat or dog. Was I looking for trouble?”

Li Da could not take it anymore. He held Gao Sheng’s hand and refused to let go.

“I was scolded and beaten up just now, and you still say that I’m causing trouble? If we don’t make things clear today, we’ll go to the palace and let the emperor judge!”

Li Da’s voice was loud, to begin with, and now it was even louder. Gao Sheng’s ears were buzzing.

Madam Bai, who was at the door, did not look good either. Firstly, Li Da’s “woman” had really cracked her image as a noble for more than 30 years.

Moreover, it was because of Gao Sheng’s attitude and that guy’s distasteful words. Could it be that he was really from General Zhanbei’s Estate?

Although the two parties had not been on good terms for a long time, they had always maintained a peaceful expression on the surface and did not cause too much trouble.

In recent years, Master had repeatedly reminded them not to provoke the other. Even if the other party deliberately provoked them, they had to avoid him.

Although she did not know why Master, who was also a General was so afraid, there must be a reason.

However, who would have thought that this burly man was actually from General Zhanbei’s Estate?

“The Emperor is busy every day. How can we disturb him? If you ask me, please calm down.”

Gao Sheng was still persuading Li Da. When he saw Madam Bai looking over, he quickly tried to smooth things over.

“Madam Bai, this is Lieutenant Li from the General Zhanbei’s Estate. There must be a misunderstanding.”

When Madam Bai heard that he was a lieutenant, she immediately relaxed a lot. Although the two parties were not on good terms, it was not to the extent that they would offend each other for merely a lieutenant.

Therefore, Madam Bai’s face was still cold and arrogant.

“I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding. Lieutenant Li is causing trouble in front of our residence. Even if we enter the palace to meet the emperor, we’re not afraid.”

Looking at Madam Bai’s arrogant appearance, Gao Sheng felt a headache coming on.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

As Li Da spoke, he stepped forward, scaring Madam Bai so much that she staggered and almost fell.

Seeing that the two of them had started again, Gao Sheng quickly tried to smooth things over. He suggested that everyone sit down in the Ye Residence and sort things out.

Although Madam Bai and Li Da both had sullen expressions, they still agreed.

When they entered the main hall of the Ye Residence, the two of them spoke one after another, each giving their own reasoning, but Gao Sheng only heard a general idea.

“So, Sixth Miss was indeed at General Zhanbei’s Estate yesterday?”

Hence, everyone turned their attention to Ye Qingge, who had found a seat in the corner and had gotten them a cup of tea from somewhere.

The latter nodded.

“Then why did you go there?”

Madam Bai raised her eyebrows and vented all her anger on Ye Qingge.

“Qingge fainted and was saved by us.”

Li Da was the first to speak. This was the excuse they had discussed.

“Alright, it doesn’t matter where she went. What matters is that you scolded us. What should we do about this?”

Li Da stared at Madam Bai with his bull-like eyes. His already scary appearance looked even more ferocious.

“I-I’m not scolding you. I’m clear about this. I’m not afraid even if I have to meet the emperor.”

Did Madam Bai really believe that a lieutenant would dare to meet the emperor?

She planned to use her power to oppress others.

“Madam Bai, this is Lieutenant Li Da, Li Da!”

Gao Sheng’s forehead was covered in sweat. Madam Bai was really hopeless.

Madam Bai frowned and looked at Gao Sheng. What about Li Da?

Suddenly, she froze. Li Da?

“Is it Li Da, who took an arrow for the emperor when the emperor personally led the army?”

Or what?

Gao Sheng nodded.

Therefore, if you went to the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor might not necessarily help you!

This time, Madam Bai completely lost her arrogance, like a balloon that had been deflated.

She looked at Li Da and then at Ye Qingge. She couldn’t understand how they knew each other.

It seemed that Li Da was quite protective of her.

“Lieutenant Li, please don’t blame me. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”

Madam Bai apologized with a pale face. No matter what, she could not enter the palace to meet the emperor today.

Li Da said nothing and snorted with his big nose.

Gao Sheng also tried to smooth things over. After all, if he really went to meet the emperor, he would have to go too. It was better to settle it privately.

In the end, Madam Bai and Gao Sheng said a lot of good words before Li Da said, “Forget it. For the sake of Qingge, let’s forget about this matter. But let’s make things clear. That girl and I hit it off well. You can’t make things difficult for her.”

This old man was really helpful!

Ye Qingge gave Li Da a big thumbs up.

Madam Bai did not expect Li Da to say this. She was obviously stunned, but she could not refuse.

She could only put on a fake smile and say, “Don’t worry, I’m her mother. I won’t mistreat her.”

Even Gao Sheng couldn’t help but glance at Ye Qingge.

He was surprised. He did not expect this girl to catch the eye of a living butcher.

After repeatedly warning Madam Bai not to mistreat Ye Qingge, Li Da was dragged out of the Ye Residence by Gao Sheng.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing!”

Li Da thought of something and suddenly stopped at the entrance of the Ye Residence. He shouted at the people who were still watching the commotion on the street.

“Let me tell all of you, Qingge getting divorced must be the Liu Residence’s problem. Yesterday, this girl lived in General Zhanbei’s Estate. If anyone dares to spread rumors, I’ll knock out his front teeth.”

Li Da’s voice was high, to begin with, and his roar spread across several streets.

Hearing his words, everyone became even more curious about the truth behind Ye Qingge’s divorce.

Hence, not long after, the matter of Ye Yuyao climbing into her brother-in-law’s bed was dug out and became a joke after dinner.

But that was a story for another time.
