There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 332 Teasing Ziying

The playboy angrily pointed his fan at Li Shuchen: "You, you, you!"

Li Shuchen put her hands on her hips: "What do you mean, 'you'? You're not only skinny, you also stutter."

The playboy glared at him: "I can't be bothered to talk to you. You're interrupting my good time."

Then, he put on a smiling face and looked at Gu Ziying, saying, "Beautiful lady, you smell so good. May I know what kind of incense you used? I'd like to go and buy some to use too."

Li Shuchen took a bite of food and said casually, "Happiness Inn floral essential oil."

Upon hearing this, the playboy frowned and glanced at Li Shuchen, then looked at Gu Ziying with a fawning smile.

"My beauty, your hands are so small. Look how big my hands are! My big hands will hold your small hands steadily, and we'll be happy together."

Li Shuchen felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"You disgust me, get out."

The playboy pointed his fan at Li Shuchen again: "You little brat, do you even know who I am? How dare you tell me to get lost? Watch out, I'll make you regret this!"

"If you can't handle the consequences, you'll have to take it with you. How scary!"

Li Shuchen pretended to be scared and made a face at the other person.

"I can't be bothered with you."

The playboy turned to Gu Ziying with a smile again: "Beauty, are you cold? Shall I warm your hands for you?"

The playboy then reached out to place his hand on Gu Ziying's hand.

Li Shuchen made a move instantly.

"Click"

The playboy's left hand was broken.

Li Shuchen said coldly, "If you dare to touch her, I'll break your other hand."

"Ah, my hand! Guards, seize her!"

The dissolute young master wailed incessantly.

Several guards rushed into the private room and instantly surrounded Li Shuchen.

Seeing this, Gu Ziying was extremely worried and anxiously called out, "Shu Chen!"

"Ziying, don't be afraid, I can beat you."

Li Shuchen leaped forward, kicking down two guards, then drew one guard's knife and fought the other guards.

Before long, the ground was covered with people.

Of course, this does not include Li Shuchen.

"Shu Chen, how are you?"

Gu Ziying quickly went over and pulled Li Shuchen to look around.

Li Shuchen patted Gu Ziying's hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, Ziying, I'm fine. These few people can't do anything to me."

After saying that, she walked up to the playboy and stomped on his chest: "Is that all you've got? You think you can take me? Wishful thinking!"

The dissolute young master panicked and said, "You dare wait here for me to return? I'll definitely send men to get you!"

Li Shuchen crossed his arms: "Go ahead, I'll wait here."

"Just wait for me"

The playboy and his entourage tumbled and crawled out.

Gu Ziying frowned: "Shu Chen, I noticed his clothes and accessories don't seem to belong to an ordinary family, I'm afraid..."

Li Shuchen pulled Gu Ziying close by the waist: "Ziying, hold on tight, I'll run away with you."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen protected Gu Ziying and jumped from the building.

What a joke! Do you think she'd just sit and wait to be beaten up? If she doesn't run now, when will she?

They boarded the carriage and sped back to the Three Treasures Hall of the Happiness Inn.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, go get some food."

"Yes, miss"

Li Shuchen: "Ziying, please sit down. You didn't eat well earlier, have some with me."

Gu Ziying sat down, feeling uneasy.

"Shu Chen, if he comes to retaliate against you, I will use my status to intimidate him. Do not take any action; I fear it will bring trouble upon you."

Li Shuchen took a sip of tea and obediently nodded: "Okay."

"Miss, the food is here."

Grape came in and placed the food on the table.

Li Shuchen handed Gu Ziying a pair of chopsticks: "Eat quickly, I'm starving."

Gu Ziying: "Okay"

Li Shuchen had only eaten half a bowl of rice when he heard a noise downstairs.

Grape rushed up in a panic, saying, "Miss, something terrible has happened! There are guards downstairs who want to arrest you!"

"You found him quickly. No problem, I'll go and meet him."

Li Shuchen drank a large cup of tea, put down the cup, and went downstairs with a flourish.

Gu Ziying followed closely behind.

The entrance to the downstairs reception hall was already packed with people, mostly onlookers.

The dissolute young master sat cross-legged in the middle of the living room, his left hand bandaged, his right hand holding a teacup as he drank tea.

More than twenty guards stood behind him.

extremely arrogant

"Oh, you're quite fast. Are you afraid of me?"

Li Shuchen walked forward slowly with his arms crossed: "Afraid of you? What a joke! I, Li Shuchen, have never been afraid of anyone."

"Ha, what a boastful tone."

The playboy spat out a mouthful of tea leaves.

"Seize him for me!"

"Wait a minute"

Gu Ziying spoke up hurriedly, walked down the stairs, and bowed.

"Young master, I have offended you greatly before. Could you please spare her for my sake?"

The playboy chuckled lewdly, "Oh, beauty, you're begging me for her? Then kiss me and I'll say yes."

Gu Ziying frowned: "You"

Li Shuchen stopped her: "Forget it, Ziying, you can't reason with this kind of person."

"Then you can't fight. They outnumber you and you'll get hurt. Besides, swords have no eyes, and there are so many guests in the inn. What will happen to them?"

After Gu Ziying finished speaking, she patted Li Shuchen on the shoulder and then said...

"May I ask where you hold office, sir?"

The dissolute young man: "I am but a humble scholar, a mere literati."

Gu Ziying's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "So you're a scholar? I'm not so talented, but I'd like to propose the title of County Lady."

The dissolute young master said, "Oh, I have excellent taste! I took a liking to the county magistrate at first sight. It's not a bad deal for a fifth-rank county magistrate like you to marry me."

Li Shuchen burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"How dare you, a mere scholar, ask the county magistrate's wife to marry you? Who gave you the courage?"

"Given by this official."

A deep, resonant voice boomed from outside the door. The crowd parted to reveal a middle-aged man, whose imposing official aura was palpable.

The dissolute young master turned around in surprise and shouted, "Father, you're here! Father! She bullied me! She bullied me! She broke my hand! It hurts so much!"

"Bold"

A whole bunch of people knelt down on the ground with a thud, only Gu Ziying and Li Shuchen remained standing.

"Why don't you kneel before me? Do you intend to resist the tax and go to jail?"

Gu Ziying: "Sir, you look unfamiliar; you don't seem to be an official from the capital."

"I am the Prefect of Piancheng" (a fourth-rank official).

Gu Ziying: "So you are the Prefect. The County Magistrate greets the Prefect."

Seeing this, Li Shuchen reluctantly said, "This humble woman greets the Prefect."

"This humble subject greets Your Excellency the Prefect."

Prefect of Piancheng: "Which of you broke my son's left hand?"

"Dad, it's her, it's that chubby girl."

The playboy pointed at Li Shuchen

Li Shuchen's eyes hardened, shooting straight at the playboy.

The prefect of Piancheng waved his hand and said, "Guards, break her left hand for me!"

Gu Ziying: "Wait a minute."

The prefect of Piancheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Gu Ziying with an air of authority.

"What? Does the county magistrate intend to commit insubordination?"

Li Shuchen grasped Gu Ziying's hand, gesturing for her to step back: "Your Excellency, please proceed with the dismantling."

"Shu Chen"

"Miss"

Prefect of Piancheng: "You're quite sensible."

The dissolute young master laughed maniacally: "Fold her, fold her hard!"

Upon hearing this, a guard stepped forward and forcefully pried open Li Shuchen's left hand.

"Click"

Her left hand is now useless.

Li Shuchen was sweating profusely from the pain, but he didn't utter a single sound.

"Your Excellency, is this enough to appease your anger?"

The playboy immediately spoke up: "Not enough. If you want to appease me, unless..."
