Although Cui Wei is naive, she is quite ticulous about these matters. She imdiately cald down, glanced around, and pulled Lanlan around a nearby path.
n bullying the princess? I’ll make sure they lose face all the way to their ancestral ho!
Just as Cui Wei saw, those guards indeed ca looking for trouble. What she didn’t anticipate was that these people would bully Mingwei because of her.
"Ha! Isn’t this the brat who dared to detain the princess?"
"It’s indeed him! Her Highness the Princess has left the palace many tis, and whenever she did, it was without a hitch! But this brat showed up and blocked her without a word! Does he really think he’s a hero?"
These two who were speaking were mbers of the Capital City’s famous aristocratic family, but because they were not direct sons, the elders wouldn’t bother to secure them any particularly good positions.
Concubine’s sons are generally unloved at ho, and even less popular among the palace guards, being severely bullied by those direct sons regularly, so they can only seek so sense of superiority from people like Mingwei.
The three n accompanying them were also from families with poor conditions, joining in the mocking of Mingwei.
"Heroes are admired by thousands, unlike this one who moves stones here? Don’t insult the word hero, haha."
"That’s right, Young Brother Ming has it down! Have you ever seen a hero moving stones? Those who move stones are bears, haha!"
If Lanlan hadn’t strongly advised leaving Mingwei so dignity, Cui Wei, hidden in the shadows, would have stord out to beat these foul-mouthed guys.
Cui Wei angrily slamd her palm, speaking harshly: "Mingwei, beat them up, beat them up until their mothers can’t recognize them!"
Unfortunately, she was disappointed; Mingwei didn’t hit them, instead, he acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and continued moving stones.
The stone was quite large, estimated to weigh around a hundred pounds, and to Cui Wei, that was a terrifying weight, yet Mingwei didn’t even frown while moving it.
"This wimp! Wasn’t he imposing when he saved last ti? Why so cowardly now!"
Cui Wei felt powerless anger, stomping her feet repeatedly.
Lanlan also felt disappointed in Mingwei, but thought that if it could make the princess give up on him, it might not be a bad thing.
However, it didn’t go as she wished because Mingwei clearly wasn’t soone who would silently endure.
The n continued to taunt Mingwei, but realized that he didn’t respond, focusing solely on moving stones.
Mingwei’s silence was taken as blatant disregard, disregard as contempt, cutting deep into their desire for conquest.
"Brat! Hey, young master is talking to you, didn’t your ears grow?"
With a thud, the first man to provoke landed a kick on the large stone Mingwei was holding.
The stone Mingwei just lifted was kicked back to the ground, and it was so heavy that it stirred up a lot of dust when it landed.
Mingwei was bent over moving stones, and the dust exploited the opportunity to rush into his mouth and nose, making him cough repeatedly.
Haha, haha.
The sound of mocking laughter rose and fell. The man who kicked the stone laughed so hard he bent over, like a boiled shrimp, disgustingly so.
"Idiot! Just like a bear, hahaha!"
When a wall falls, everyone gives it a shove. Another man stepped forward and kicked Mingwei while ridiculing.
By chance, the kick landed right on Mingwei’s hand!
Right away, Mingwei’s originally fair hand turned black and dirty, stark and conspicuous.
Mingwei narrowed his eyes, his fists clenching so tightly that veins bulged prominently on his hand.
"Oops, oops, sorry, Young Brother Ming, I didn’t an to! My apologies, haha."
The guy who kicked him said he was sorry, but showed no genuine remorse, instead being full of ridicule and provocation.
Cui Wei witnessed this, her face turned pale, her small hands clenched tightly.
Lanlan felt righteous indignation, wishing she could fight those bastards herself!
