214 Father and Daughter
The man stopped. “Steward Zhang.”
Steward Zhang said, “It’s your first day on the job. Don’t cause trouble for me. Pick up your things and get in the carriage!”
The man gritted his teeth, picked up the big box on the ground, glared at Su Cheng, and limped away.
Su Cheng grabbed his collar. “Did I let you leave?”
!!
The man didn’t expect Su Cheng to be asking for trouble when he had already let things rest!
“Warrior,” Steward Zhang said calmly. “What can I do for you?”
Su Cheng said coldly, “You want to leave just like that after hitting my child?”
His grandchild would not suffer this grievance!
The man mocked, “It was clear that wild child stood in my way…”
“Who did you call a wild child?”
Su Cheng slapped him!
The man staggered to the ground with the box.
Steward Zhang’s expression darkened.
“Grandpa, pee.”
Erhu wanted to pee.
Was he a grandfather at such a young age?Steward Zhang sized up Su Cheng strangely.
Su Cheng had a pair of swollen eyes that were like walnuts. It really affected his appearance, but for some reason, Steward Zhang vaguely felt that this person looked familiar.
He did not look like someone from a rich family…
Su Cheng said arrogantly, “I won’t argue with you today! Don’t let me see you again! Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death!”
With that, he raised his hand.
The man on the ground reflexively covered his head with his arm.
Su Cheng brought the three little ones to the toilet.
The man got up with an aggrieved expression. “Steward Zhang, you saw it too. That person was pestering me endlessly. Why didn’t you let me teach him a lesson?”
Steward Zhang snorted. “If you didn’t kick his child, would he have come to teach you a lesson?”
The man said awkwardly, “I didn’t use much strength. I just… swung my leg.”
Steward Zhang said angrily, “How old is that child? Can he withstand your kicks?”
The man muttered, “Isn’t he fine?”
Steward Zhang said coldly, “I asked you to work for the Protectorate because of Aunt. Don’t cause trouble for me! If you ruin the reputation of the Protectorate, don’t blame me for chasing you out!”
The aristocratic families cherished their reputation. As workers, they wore the clothes of the Protectorate and held the tokens of the Protectorate. Yet they dared to cause trouble on the streets. Regardless of whether they were instructed to do so, the reputation of the Protectorate would be affected.
Steward Zhang went to the alley opposite the street and bowed to a luxurious carriage. “High Duke, I’ve obtained the item.”
He presented it with both hands.
In the carriage, the man addressed as High Duke was the newly appointed Protector Duke, Qin Che. He was about the same age as Su Cheng and was very handsome. His clothes were luxurious and extraordinary, and his shoes were spotless.
He took the brocade box from Steward Zhang and asked unhurriedly, “What happened just now?”
Oh no, the Duke had seen him.
Steward Zhang secretly sweated and smiled awkwardly. “A child accidentally bumped into Wang Dazhu’s leg. That child’s grandfather blamed Wang Dazhu for not dodging in time and knocking down his child. He gave Wang Dazhu a few blows. Wang Dazhu is feeling aggrieved now.”
“Is the child alright?” Qin Che asked with concern.
Steward Zhang smiled and said, “It’s fine. He bumped into Wang Dazhu himself. Wang Dazhu didn’t move. He didn’t hit him hard.”
Qin Che said earnestly, “We can’t let others think that the Duke’s Estate is bullying others.”
