Da Xiong was puzzled. Yet, he was very impressed by his young master’s a.s.sertiveness.

Li Meng had never met Helian Wei Wei but only heard of her name in the Capital.

Now that he had met her in person, he was certain that she was completely no match for his beautiful and deity-like cousin. She was merely a tanned, hideous and petty woman!

Confidently, he stared right into Helian Wei Wei’s eyes and scoffed, “Third Princess Consort, please forgive my bluntness. I’m a.s.signed to investigate the case. I hope that Third Princess Consort can be more understanding and stay away from my duty. These weapons are evidence of your crime.”

Helian Wei Wei let out a discreet and disdainful sneer. Silently, she pulled Little Seven to her side.

Upon seeing her being speechless, Li Meng a.s.sumed that she was guilty of her act. Hence, he put on a scornful expression. He beckoned his guards over with a wave, “Chain up the people who are involved in the rebellion and bring them to the yamen!”

“Yes!” The two guards answered as they went forward, ready to seize them.

With a chilling expression, Little Seven waved the wooden stick in his hand. Yet, he was not aiming it at anyone.

However, that was enough to frighten the guards who were approaching him, forcing them to retreat out of the pain they were suffering from the blow.

Within a fraction of a second, their face turned completely pale.

Writhing in agony, they fell on the ground and their foreheads were drenched in cold sweat.

“Get me a few more men! This useless bunch can’t even handle a kid!” Li Meng said furiously. He refused to believe that a boy who grew up in the slum was strong enough to beat the guards. He decided to charge another ruthless attack in order to prod the boy and understand his strength thoroughly.

The guards fixed their hat as they hurriedly responded, “Yes.”

“Hold on,” Helian Wei Wei chuckled unexpectedly. Yet, her laugh sounded chilling, “That’s not necessary. We will follow you to yamen.”

At that moment, the spectators were skeptical, doubting the words they just heard.

What… what is the princess consort thinking?

Just like the others, Da Xiong was confused. With his mouth agape, he watched helplessly as his young master was being taken away. He would definitely be ridiculed by his brothers if they found out about this event.

He was sure that he could defeat the weak and lily-livered men on his own!

Is this a delusion?

He questioned himself as he reckoned that his young master was acting rather differently today. She was being suspiciously obedient toward her enemy.

No one could make sense of Helian Wei Wei’s decision.

However, Little Seventh Prince, who grew up in the palace, could easily apprehend her intention.

If his Imperial Grandfather found out that he was captured, none of these men would be spared.

His Imperial Grandfather might not be agitated if Little Seventh Prince was merely being investigated.

However, if the matter grew… his Imperial Grandfather would certainly tackle the issue in a disparate way.

Hmph!

They have the audacity to interrupt my martial arts practice and disturb my Third Aunt!

When Third Brother is here, he’ll punish them mercilessly!

I wonder if they serve food in prison. I’m so hungry after dealing with these people!

It’s my unlucky day!

Little Seven thought as he kept the wooden stick with a fierce yet childish face. He stood behind Helian Wei Wei quietly. Overwhelmed by his intimidating aura, the guards were trembling discreetly as they cuffed him up.

He looks nothing like a boy! He acts like a f*cking tiger!

He appeared as though he would attack them once they let down their guard.

It did not make sense for Lord Li to order them to seize a boy in this manner.
