Fortunate Young Gentleman

The man looked at Tang Shui and said angrily: "Who are you?"

Tang Shui loosened his whip, frowned at him, and asked, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

The man snorted coldly and said: "They are the slaves of Xiaowan we captured. I can do whatever I want. You should stop meddling in other people's business!"

Tang Shui glanced at him and said, "What if I insist on taking care of it?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude!" The man's face darkened and he swung the whip in his hand.

…

The biggest advantage after becoming prime minister is that you can arrange your own working hours, because in Shangshu Province, Tang Ning and Wang Xiang are the bosses.

When entering the palace to go to the capital of Shangshu, Tang Ning met Prince Fu by chance.

Prince Fu is the younger brother of Emperor Chen and the only prince among the previous generation of the Zhao royal family who stayed in the capital. He has a special status and is mainly responsible for handling matters related to the royal family.

Tangning cupped her hands and said, "I've met King Fu."

Prince Fu returned the greeting: "Mr. Tang, you're welcome."

Although he is from the royal family, in terms of status, the young man opposite is not inferior to him at all.

After the two greeted each other politely, Prince Fu was about to leave when he saw Tang Ning looking at him with burning eyes.

He subconsciously touched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Tang Ning shook her head, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Tang heard someone say that the prince was the most handsome man in the capital back then?"

King Fu was startled when he heard this, then a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Those are all in the past, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."

Tangning nodded and whispered, "It's a pity..."

King Fu looked at him and asked, "What?"

"It's nothing." Tang Ning bowed her hands to him and said, "The Minister of Finance is busy with affairs, so Tang will leave first..."

Watching Tang Ning leave quickly, King Fu reached out and touched his chin, which was full of fat. Realizing the profound meaning of what Tang Ning just said, his face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "You bastard, you are so young and amazing, wait a minute." When you reach my age, you may not be better than me..."

He touched his round belly, turned around and walked out of the palace angrily.

When he returned to the mansion, he was still depressed. He took a sip of tea and said angrily: "You bastard!"

"Father, who made you angry again?" Princess Anyang walked in from outside and asked, "Which bastard are you talking about?"

"Right Chancellor Tang Ning!" King Fu snorted coldly and said, "How dare he laugh at me!"

"Him?" Princess Anyang nodded subconsciously and echoed: "He is just a bastard!"

King Fu looked at her and said in surprise: "What did he do to you?"

"He touched..." Princess Anyang started to speak, then stopped abruptly, shook her head and said, "It's nothing..."

Then she looked at Prince Fu again and said, "Father, I have something to ask you."

Prince Fu said without hesitation: "Do you want any money?"

"I'm not asking for money this time!" Princess Anyang glanced at him and said angrily: "Is it because of money every time I beg you?"

King Fu looked at her and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

Princess Anyang took a deep breath and calmed down. A smile appeared on her face again and she said, "This time it's not about money. Shui'er was taken away by the Punishment Department. I want dad to say hello to the Punishment Department and let her out..."

King Fu asked: "Why was she taken away by the Ministry of Punishment?"

Princess Anyang said: "She taught a few scoundrels on the street..."

"Scoundrel?" King Fu glanced at her and asked, "Which scoundrel in the capital dares to offend the witch Tang Shui? The punishment department went crazy and caught her in prison because of a few scoundrels?"

Princess Anyang grabbed his arm, shook it, and said, "Oh, here and now, the Tang family is in decline, otherwise I wouldn't come to beg my father..."

Prince Fu said, "Who did Tang Shui offend?"

Princess Anyang lowered her head and said, "The Zhou family."

King Fu asked: "Zhou family, which Zhou family?"

The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You mean the Zhou family?"

Princess Anyang nodded and said: "The Zhou family sells those Xiaowan people. Shui'er stood up for them and beat them up severely. Zhou Qing was also beaten..."

King Fu asked: "Is Zhou Qing seriously injured?"

"It's not serious, just a few teeth lost, a few ribs broken, arms broken, legs broken..." Princess Anyang said angrily: "He was the one who made the rude remarks first and insulted us with his words..."

Prince Fu waved his hand and said, "I have no control over this matter..."

"Then what should we do..." Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "What if the Ministry of Punishment wants to punish him..."

Prince Fu shook his head and said, "If it's another family, I can say hello to the Punishment Department, but it's not like you don't know about the Zhou family..."

Princess Anyang said: "Then I will go find Brother Huai Wang."

Prince Fu glanced at her and asked, "It's not convenient even for your father. Do you think it's convenient for him?"

Princess Anyang was discouraged and said: "Then who should I look for..."

"Go find that bastard." King Fu thought for a while and said, "It would be more convenient for him to come forward in this matter."

Princess Anyang asked: "Can it be solved if he just steps forward?"

Prince Fu shook his head and said, "If he comes forward, His Majesty and the Queen Mother will not be able to blame us..."

Princess Anyang gritted her teeth and said, "I won't go looking for that bastard!"

Prince Fu looked at her again and asked, "Where did that bastard touch you?"

…

After leaving the Yamen, Tang Ning walked out of Shangshu Province and the palace gate. From a distance, she saw Princess Anyang standing at the gate of the palace. She didn't know who she was waiting for.

"Hello!"

When Tang Ning passed by Princess Anyang, she suddenly shouted. Tang Ning glanced at her and continued walking forward.

Princess Anyang caught up and shouted: "Stop!"

Tangning looked back at her and asked, "Is the princess talking to me?"

Princess Anyang asked: "Besides you, is there anyone else here?"

"First, I didn't say hello..." Tangning looked at her and asked, "Second, isn't the princess a human?"

"I, you..." Princess Anyang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently recited a few heart-clearing mantras before she calmed down and said, "Shui'er was arrested by the Criminal Department."

Tangning glanced at her, turned around and walked forward.

Princess Anyang chased after her and said angrily: "Hey, where are you going? Did you hear what I said?"

Tangning glanced at her and said, "Go to the Criminal Department."

Princess Anyang was stunned and asked, "Why don't you ask what happened?"

Tangning glanced at her and asked, "Is this important?"

Princess Anyang pursed her lips and said: "She hurt someone. The person she hurt was a single member of the Zhou family, the Queen Mother's nephew. It is not easy to get involved in this matter. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause dissatisfaction with Your Majesty and the Queen Mother..."

Tangning asked, "What then?"

"..." Princess Anyang looked at him and asked, "Are you listening?"

Of course Tang Ning listened carefully, but even the emperor and the queen mother had to be reasonable. He believed that Tang Shui was not an unreasonable person. If he took ten thousand steps back, even if she was really unreasonable, Tang Ning could not let her stay in prison.

In order to protect him, she traveled all the way from Chen to Chu. Tang Ning would never forget this friendship in her life.

Princess Anyang saw that his pace was getting faster and faster and she could no longer keep up. She picked up the hem of her skirt with both hands and sped up to follow him. She said dissatisfiedly: "Wait for me..."
