Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 436: Fairness

The Zhao family’s child stabbed someone else, and the compensation was fifteen taels, so if someone else stabs his grandson once, it’s also fifteen taels. Isn’t that clear enough?

As they were speaking, the people behind Pei Ji’an went inside to arrest someone.

They were guards trained from a young age, their skills were exceptional. Although they looked small, it was simply because they hadn’t developed yet. In the past, they were poor and didn’t have enough to eat, so they didn’t grow well. Now they work under Heir Pei, and the treatment in all aspects is exceptional. It’s only a matter of time before they grow taller.

Now, with their agility, one cleared the way while the other captured, coordinating perfectly together. How could the Zhao family’s flashy but useless guards be their match?

In no time, they had grabbed someone behind the door.

Kids love watching excitement. Zhao Guofu, hearing that someone had come to settle scores, ran behind the door to watch the commotion, just like every time before. If the timing was right, he would even go out and make faces at others. Who knew he would hear such words? He got scared, and just as he was about to run, he was caught.

Zhao Guofu immediately burst into a wailing cry, shouting for his grandmother to save him.

How clever kids are, knowing to call for their grandmother and not their parents, it shows he knows who his real support is.

This is really something.

Mrs. Zhao looked as if the sky was falling, shouting at the top of her voice, "This is outrageous, outrageous! In broad daylight, someone dares to come in and hurt others. Is there no law in this world?"

Now she knows about the law. When her grandson was hurting others, why didn’t she mention the law?

Onlookers around couldn’t help but show disdain.

To say that the Zhao family has been lawless is not a matter of days. The neighbors despise the Zhao family deeply but are helpless about it. Previously, when someone came to demand justice, the neighbors would gather to watch the commotion. They hoped those people would teach the Zhao family a good lesson. But those people would just make loud noises and leave quietly once compensated, which was quite disappointing.

Now, someone really dared to do it, and everyone got excited!

Many couldn’t help but say something. "In broad daylight, when your grandson hurt someone, why didn’t you mention the law? Now someone comes to your door, and you talk about the law. Do you own the law?"

"Exactly, evil meets evil, your Zhao family has done too many wicked things, and now retribution has come, this is heaven’s justice. Stop wailing, you old witch!"

The ones speaking hid in the crowd, not wanting the Zhao family to see them and take revenge later.

Old Mrs. Zhao howled, hoping to gain sympathy and have people stand by her side, but who knew these people would take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, it was simply detestable!

This shows that people with ill intentions never realize their own mistakes.

She didn’t care what others said; she only saw her grandson captured by the other party, not noticing her own guards couldn’t even match one of theirs, and her grandson was scared and bawling.

Mrs. Zhao was heartbroken, stamping her feet and wailing, "Murder! Someone wants to kill! Barging into someone’s home to kill in broad daylight, bullying! The Pei Mansion is bullying us! They want to force this old woman to death, I can’t live, I can’t live..."

Have you ever seen an old woman making a scene?

Other people’s old ladies always maintain a good demeanor, it’s their family’s heritage, respected for generations, they can’t stoop to such shenanigans.

Mrs. Zhao was different. If it weren’t for her husband risking his life for dignity, how could the Zhao family have today’s glory?

The Zhao family’s arrogant faces weren’t over yet, where was the time to cultivate their qualities? However they made a scene in the past, now they do the same.

But unfortunately, Pei Ji’an wasn’t buying it, if making a scene worked, why would anyone fight?

"Compensate for injuries, fifteen taels each time, as Old Madam Zhao said. Have you forgotten now? Or do you mean the government can set fires but the people can’t light lamps? A mere Zhao family dares to be so rampant?"

Old Master Zhao’s legs went weak under the scolding, hurriedly stopping his mother from making more scenes, but she didn’t care, just kept shouting murder.

Pei Ji’an didn’t respond, just gave a signal with his eyes, and someone slashed, only to hear a child’s scream in the air.

Zhao Fugui got a stab on his right shoulder.

The injury was the same as Pei Yi’s, and even if the imperial physician were called later, the injuries would be the same.

Pei Ji’an wanted exactly this effect, returning it exactly as it was, not more, not less.

For ordinary people, it might be hard to do well, but for martial artists, this level of skill is still feasible.

Zhao Fugui cried out in pain, falling to the ground, his right shoulder bleeding, soon soaking his clothes red.

He was both in pain and frightened, thinking he was going to die, crying miserably like he was dying.

Mrs. Zhao, seeing her grandson in such a state, rolled her eyes and fainted.

The whole Zhao family was in chaos.

Old Master Zhao ordered the servants to carry people inside, he wanted to go in too, but was called down by the Princely Heir.

"Old Master Zhao, don’t forget to take the silver."

Pei Ji’an finished speaking, and someone handed over fifteen taels.

Old Master Zhao’s face turned terribly blue and purple, but he didn’t dare not take it. After taking it, he wanted to leave, but was called again, saying the Zhao Mansion hadn’t compensated the Pei Mansion yet.

He had to send someone into the mansion to bring out another fifteen taels before he could send the scorching presence of the Pei family away.

After Pei Ji’an left, people at Zhao’s door didn’t dare to watch the excitement, dispersing in a rush. Anyway, they had seen enough excitement today.

Having said that, after Mrs. Zhao woke up, she kept yelling about going to Yingtian Prefecture to file a lawsuit, to accuse the Pei Mansion of bullying, to blow it up big, all the way to the Emperor, and have the Emperor uphold justice for the Zhao family.

Her husband saved the Emperor’s life!

As for how Mrs. Zhao will go about it, that’s for later discussion.

Meanwhile, Pei Ji’an returned to the Pei Mansion and recounted what happened to Qu Fulan.

Qu Fulan listened and was speechless for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up.

"Impressive, it should be like this, using magic to defeat magic."

Qu Fulan had used similar tactics back in modern times, when shopping, encountering snobbish clerks, she would go to the rival store to buy, making a big purchase, leaving those clerks watching regrettably.

Now she focuses on her child wholeheartedly, worried and confused, but with him around, she let him handle it, not expecting he would also return the favor in the same way, it was simply too satisfying.

"Given Old Madam Zhao’s character, she might make a fuss afterward." Qu Fulan said.

"Let her fuss, I don’t take the Zhao family seriously."

Qu Fulan had no doubt about the truth of Pei Ji’an’s words. The Pei family had come through to this day, what big waves haven’t they seen? They weren’t afraid of those established families with deep roots, let alone a nouveau riche Zhao family?

"How’s Li doing?" Pei Ji’an asked.

"He fell asleep, his wounds are healing, he’ll be fine by tomorrow." Qu Fulan sighed.

A son with this ability truly brings mixed feelings.

Upon hearing this, Pei Ji’an just nodded and went inside to check on his son.

But instead, he saw his daughter in the outer room playing with a rag doll.

Pei Ji’an: "..." As expected, this kind of thing attracts children.

Rag dolls certainly appeal to girls, just like that Transformer which Li also loved dearly.

After taking a nap, Li received a gift from his mother, and his usually calm expression couldn’t help but brighten with a joyful smile.

Now, he was transforming the Transformer in all sorts of ways, enjoying it a lot.

With this toy, he wouldn’t mind staying at home to recuperate for half a month, let alone a month.
