Chapter 183: Chapter 182 She’s Disrespectful, Hit Her! (Second Update, Vote Please)
Yongping paused for a moment when she heard the name "Ming Zhi."
Pei Zhan was indeed not easy to provoke. If he was displeased, it really wasn’t worth it.
But seeing Xu Yin’s eyes still on that girl, she took a deep breath and signaled to the nanny beside her.
The nanny walked over to Pei Zhan: "General. My Commandery Princess wishes to befriend this young lady and would like to invite her over for a chat."
Fu Zhen abruptly heard this and bit down on a piece of walnut cake, raising her head.
The nanny in front of her was smiling on the surface, but her face was motionless underneath.
She did know this person—it was the woman surnamed Hu that Yongping had been using since she was a child.
She looked across at Pei Zhan, who was stirring the soup in his bowl with a spoon in his right hand, not even glancing at the woman.
Nanny Hu knew this General was difficult to speak to but didn’t expect him to show such disrespect!
After all, their Commandery Princess was the emperor’s only legitimate niece and the only Commandery Princess in Great Zhou!
Was eating really that important?
As for this little girl, she hadn’t seen her before, so she probably wasn’t from a noble family. Where would an ordinary person get so many opportunities to meet members of the royal family?
She continued, "General, the Commandery Princess has also paused her meal and is waiting especially for her."
The Prince Manor had ordered the best dishes from the dining hall today, something generally out of reach for ordinary people. Fu Zhen didn’t want to miss out, so she looked up at her, not stopping her eating.
This nanny’s way of talking was a bit amusing. Did she mean that the Commandery Princess had already granted such great favor by setting down her chopsticks, and if she didn’t accept it, she would be seen as ungrateful?
Seeing Pei Zhan with his eyes half-lowered, playing with the spoon and not speaking, Fu Zhen couldn’t help but say, "She’s talking to you, why aren’t you responding?"
This guy was usually quite sarcastic, and it was a pity he didn’t say anything now!
Of course, if she wasn’t afraid of Yongping flipping the table with no one to back her up, he wouldn’t have to be the one engaging in this verbal sparring!
Pei Zhan set down the spoon: "You go."
Fu Zhen coughed: "I wouldn’t dare."
"What do you mean you wouldn’t dare?" Pei Zhan glanced at her lightly, "It’s not like you’re committing treason or plotting rebellion. What are you afraid of?"
Hearing this, Fu Zhen straightened up: "Are you serious?"
He dared to incite her to go?
The reason Liang Ning dared to sweep through the capital acting with chivalry and righteousness was that her father and her two elder brothers and sisters supported her by saying the same things, making her fearless of heaven and earth!
And now that she had been dead for six years, people were still speaking ill of her!
If it weren’t for family indulgence, she wouldn’t have been so arrogant. So why, now with Pei Zhan, was she supposed to be indulged again?
"Of course it’s real." Pei Zhan frowned at all the delicious food on the table, "I’ve treated you to so many meals, and you can’t repay me just this once?"
How could she not?
It was definitely doable!
God knows how long she had been putting up with this despicable couple! It was only because she didn’t have a family background that would allow her to freely cause trouble in the light of day that she kept advising herself to be generous, enduring again and again.
Not taking the initiative was already the limit of her gentlemanly conduct. Now that someone was looking for trouble, if she didn’t respond, would she still be that fearsome Liang Ning whose name struck terror?
At this, she straightened up and signaled Guo Song outside the door.
Guo Song approached: "What are your orders, Miss?"
Fu Zhen said, "Slap this nanny twice and teach her the rules! A dignified General Pingxi, when in the palace to see the emperor, is granted a seat by the emperor. What right does a servant have to speak directly to the General?
"Do they really think our heroes, who bled on the battlefield to reclaim the land, are as lowly as she is?
"If she understood her place, she would have conveyed her message through you. Now she comes over directly, obviously bullying your master!
"You’re a loyal subordinate, so hurry and act!"
Guo Song was shocked by her offhand command and looked at Pei Zhan.
Pei Zhan raised his eyes at him: "Not acting?"
Guo Song was even more surprised!
But there was no time for him to think because his duty was to protect his master!
He immediately slapped Nanny Hu twice on the face.
When Fu Zhen’s words came out, her young voice rang clearly through the entire hall, and everyone was stunned!
No one expected such a small, quiet girl to say something so deadly the moment she opened her mouth!
Nanny Hu was also dumbfounded. She certainly didn’t think Pei Zhan would agree to hit someone, but even releasing such words was disrespectful to their Commandery Princess!
Until the sound of two real slaps resounded against her cheeks and exclamations rose from the crowd, Nanny Hu covered her face and pointed at Fu Zhen, shouting, "How dare you hit me?!"
Fu Zhen smiled sweetly: "Have you gone mad? The slap has already landed on your face, so why are you still asking if I dared? It’s you who was disrespectful; now that you’ve been punished, you should leave quickly before losing more face."
Did they want her to go over and be bullied?
Dream on!
If she couldn’t hit the despicable couple, couldn’t she hit the couple’s servants?
"Pei Zhan!" Yongping rose in anger, striding up to them, glaring at Fu Zhen: "Who is she?!" freeweɓnøvel~com
Pei Zhan leaned back against the chair, lifting his eyes: "Princess Yongping, are you questioning me, the General?"
Pei Zhan’s natural intimidating aura was already frightening enough; therefore, he seldom exerted his official power. As these words came out, the imposing might of a Commander of ten thousand troops immediately enveloped him, his piercing gaze sweeping over Yongping like a desert storm raising a thousand miles of dust, rendering her speechless!
"I, Pei Zhan, protect the nation and guard the territories. The emperor has already honored me with a courtesy title. I don’t know how I offended you, leading you to disregard decorum and address me directly by name?"
Pei Zhan was a young General, yet his battlefield accomplishments rivaled those of any founding military general. The palace allowed him to use the Great General’s chariot, provided him a golden horse saddle, exempted him from kneeling before the emperor, and personally granted him the courtesy name "Ming Zhi." The respect afforded to him was evident for all to see.
Given his status, being addressed directly by name was truly disrespectful. Yongping was used to this within her family and hadn’t anticipated Pei Zhan would respond so ungraciously!
She had to soften her tone: "I just wanted to ask you, who is this girl?
"Nanny Hu, no matter what, is my servant. My father and your father often gather for tea and drinks together; how could you be so easily swayed by outsiders and hit my person on just a whim?"
Previously, it was unheard of for Pei Zhan to have a woman by his side. Their acquaintance must be recent! How could it compare with the decades-long friendship between our two families?
"Princess Yongping still seems not to understand." Pei Zhan said coolly, "You must have heard it clearly earlier. Your people acted out of line, so Guo Song slapped her.
"This is your dereliction of duty as the master. Faced with such disgrace, instead of quickly calling your people back for a lesson, you’re here making untenable arguments. It seems it’s truly a case of the upper beam being crooked, leading to the crooked lower beam. Your maidservant being beaten has its reasons."
Yongping seethed: "They say even when you beat a dog, you look at the owner. Regardless of my servant’s faults, it should be my place to reprimand her, not for her to—"
"Bang!"
Before she could finish, the cups and dishes on the table jumped. Pei Zhan pressed on the table and raised his eyes to her: "Princess Yongping, I advise you to be cautious with your words."
