Second Owner hastened to apologize, "Your medical expenses will be borne by us..."

Pa!

Gu Jiao swatted the account book on the table.

Second Owner was immediately in a panic. It was over, Little Gu was about to get angry again!

Second Owner: Little Gu you calm down ah! This is neither the county town nor the Hot Spring Villa, but the imperial capital!

One could tell at first glance that the background of this group of people wasn’t small. They could not afford to offend them!

Gu Jiao stood up and tugged at her little ear impatiently, "One by one, or together?"

After asking, she quickly spoke again, "Let's go by together, it’s less annoying."

Second Owner: No—— Little Gu—— Don't—— This shouldn’t be——

Guard Tong was greatly taken aback by Gu Jiao's words and was dazed for a while before he came back to his senses and realized what she was referring to.

A little girl could be so arrogant?

Guard Tong coldly said, "I'm a man, I don't bully women. Call out the one who's really in charge here.”

Without saying another word, Gu Jiao stepped out of the counter, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him all the way out of the medical hall.

Guard Tong was not from just any ordinary household. He simply put on a common guard’s attire because he couldn’t expose his identity here, but he could more or less walk sideways in the capital with his identity.

There was no need to talk about his martial arts skills.

Until this day, he had never been treated like this.

By the time he digested what was happening, his whole person had already hit the stone lion at the entrance.

He quickly flew into a rage out of humiliation and drew his sword, but before he could pull it out completely, Gu Jiao stamped it back into its scabbard!

Just then, a stick clattered and rolled to Gu Jiao's feet.

Gu Jiao tapped one end of the stick with her foot so that the stick suddenly stood up. Gu Jiao caught it with her hand, and what followed next was the scene of a dog being beaten with a stick.

The big fellow rushed out of the medical hall.

When he saw that Guard Tong was being suppressed like so by a little girl, he shouted, "Stop! Lord Tong is from a prince's residence! You actually dare to touch him, I see that you’re courting death!"

Speak of the devil and the devil comes.

A man dressed in splendid clothes came on horseback, and behind him were several imperial experts with high martial arts.

He gave off a wanton and unrestrained aura, with a comely and outstanding appearance, truly doing the so-called ultimate beauty of the imperial family justice.

He also had a pair of devilish yet charming eyes.

It reminded Gu Jiao of the beautiful monk she once met in the woods.

The difference was that the beautiful monk was more good-looking than this one in front of her.

Guard Tong also saw the man and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, cupping his fist in salute, "Fourth Master!"

More and more people gathered around to watch.

The man who was referred to as Fourth Master didn’t seem bothered being watched. On the contrary, he appeared to enjoy the attention from people around them.

He looked at Guard Tong with a half smile, asking, "What happened?"

Guard Tong glanced at the big fellow from the corner of his eye.

As early as Guard Tong knelt down and called the man Fourth Master, the big fellow also knelt to the ground in extreme fright!

People didn’t know who this Fourth Master was, but how could he not?

This man was one of the imperial princes of the State of Zhao!

Guard Tong frowned. The big fellow was a distant relative of his. He was a bit of a bully on normal days, but he had never gone too far in his actions. More importantly, he had entrusted him with a lot of things that he couldn’t do openly.

Guard Tong responded to the Fourth Prince, "Reporting to Fourth Master, there was a girl who committed an assault in public. I came to ask her questions, but she also lay her hands on me."

The Fourth Prince stared at the swollen left face of Guard Tong and said, "You’re saying, your face was hit to that point by a girl?"

Guard Tong bowed his head in shame.

Second Owner had yet to guess the identity of the Fourth Prince at the moment; he came forward and hurriedly said to the Fourth Prince, "This is the thing, young master. Our medical hall has just opened, and we are not very familiar with the capital yet. We sold medicine to a patient to treat his illness, which made this brother unhappy. This brother then started a fight with our physician, and then came back after calling for backup."

"Fourth Prin..." As soon as the big fellow opened his mouth, he received a sharp gaze from the Fourth Prince. He shivered and changed his words, "Fourth Master, the person they sold the medicine to is Liu Yisheng!"

The Liu Family plotted against the life of the Fourth Prince’s father, the Emperor, so how could the Fourth Prince allow a descendant of the Liu Family to be treated?

Girl, you're dead!

"Who sold the medicine? This young miss?" The Fourth Prince's eyes slowly fell on Gu Jiao's body. He narrowed his eyes, and his lips evoked a meaningful smile, "This young miss doesn't know Liu Yisheng. If she sold him medicine, then so be it."

The big fellow was stunned.

What did the Fourth Prince mean by this?

Wasn't he the one who hated the Liu Family the most?

Last time, the owner of a rice shop sold several catties of good rice to the Liu Family, and the Fourth Prince had people smash the shop at once.

Guard Tong knew his master's thoughts.

There was a saying circulating in the capital's circle of dignitaries—— The slender waist lover Fourth Master.

Even though that little girl, with that big red mark on her face, had an unsatisfactory appearance, her waist was really slender.

It was no wonder if it really caught the eye of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince urged his horse in front of Gu Jiao and looked down at Gu Jiao from the horse's back. Bending over slightly, he asked her with a smile, "May I ask the good name of this young miss?"

Gu Jiao ignored him directly and turned around to leave.

A gray-clad imperial expert beside the Fourth Prince suddenly flipped off his horse and raised his arm to block Gu Jiao's way.

Gu Jiao: "Get out of the way."

The imperial expert: "Answer my master's words."

The remaining three imperial experts also eyed Gu Jiao like tigers watching their prey.

Gu Jiao turned around, slowly walked towards the Fourth Prince and looked up at him.

The Fourth Prince smiled and waited for Gu Jiao to state her name, only to be dragged off the horse by Gu Jiao. Then, he saw Gu Jiao stepping on the stirrup, mounting his horse neatly and riding away!

The Fourth Prince was utterly stunned: "..."

Then he was furious, "Chase after her!"

The four imperial experts chased after Gu Jiao.

To be honest, this was the first time that Gu Jiao galloped a horse, and her riding skills were crude. In a short time, she was overtaken by the four imperial experts.

Gu Jiao pulled the reins tightly and decisively abandoned the horse when she passed an alley. She then climbed to the roof of a building barehanded and crossed it over.

At the other side below was a carriage. She lightly jumped down, intending to land with the support of the canopy of the carriage. As she was in midair, she spun around and was ready to shoot out a few silver needles at her pursuers the moment they appeared.

Gu Jiao would never expect that the carriage below belonged to Marquis Xuanping.

At this time, Marquis Xuanping lay on his side on the luxurious and soft couch of the carriage with his head propped up with one hand, eating winter jujube fruits in a leisurely manner.

Chang Jing was outside the carriage, looking for something. His hidden marble weapon disappeared. He looked everywhere but couldn't find it. He frowned, climbed and stood on the coachman’s seat, and then removed the canopy of the carriage.

"Oops!"

Gu Jiao stepped on air and continued to fall!

Marquis Xuanping experienced for himself what was called, ‘sudden and unexpected disaster.’

Gu Jiao’s foot landed exactly on his handsome face, and then he fell off the couch and became a human flesh mat for the first time in his life.

Gu Jiao was a little confused.

She tilted her head.

Eh?

It didn’t hurt.

Marquis Xuanping was the one in terrible pain!

His old waist—— His old waist that he had taken good care of for so many years——

Chang Jing! How many times has this Marquis told you not to dismantle the carriage randomly!!!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say this out loud because he choked on the jujube fruit!

[T/N: Poor father-in-law, hahaha!]
