Chapter 334: The Arrogant Princess
Chapter 334: The Arrogant Princess
A mathematical competition between Chen Futu and the Northern Frontier Academy yielded a result that astonished everyone.
He single-handedly swept aside many students in the academy, without even needing to draft any problems. He could solve extremely complex arithmetic problems with ease, and even Chen Yuling forgot about her resentment, her big eyes filled with amazement.
Best of three, Chen Futu won two consecutive matches, and the Northern Frontier Academy suffered a complete defeat. They should no longer make things difficult for the Sun family.
"Finally, I would like to remind you all that the Northern Frontier upholds the law. If anyone is found guilty of intentionally assaulting another person, even if they are a student of the academy, they will be punished!"
Chen Futu's words were not loud, but extremely authoritative, and Yu Qian immediately stepped forward to repeat them.
The group of students from northern Xinjiang looked at each other, not daring to object.
Once this matter was settled, Sun Linlin excitedly grabbed Chen Futu, "Young Master Qin, you're amazing! How did you do that?!"
She felt dizzy just listening to those math problems, but the guy in front of her didn't need paper and pen; he could give the most accurate answers in his mind, completely outclassing the academy's students.
"Hehe, no problem. Just remember to have that million ready, I'll send someone to collect it."
Chen Futu would never forget about money.
Sun Wei said worriedly, "Although we won this battle, you have offended the princess. I'm afraid..."
"It's alright. I'm just teaching her a lesson on behalf of the King of Northern Frontier. The King of Northern Frontier won't object."
"hope so."
Sun Wei couldn't understand where Qin Shao got his confidence. Even if he was Qin Liangyu's younger brother, he shouldn't dare to offend Her Highness the Princess.
As the farce came to an end, Chen Futu and his entourage had just returned to Pingkang Ward when they were surrounded by the Tiger Guards. Chen Yuling arrived on a tall horse, holding a riding whip and staring at Chen Futu with a gloomy face. "Boy, you hit this princess, and you think you can just leave?"
"Your Highness, we apologize for our offense today."
Sun Wei hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Chen Yuling said unhappily, "This has nothing to do with you. Stand aside. I, the princess, am here to settle accounts with this brat. As for your Sun family's matter, it has already been resolved."
"But Princess..."
"Get out!"
Chen Yuling shouted angrily.
Sun Wei made a firm decision and knelt on the ground. "Please forgive Young Master Qin, Your Highness. He didn't mean it."
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Sun Linlin and Sun Feng also knelt down, leaving only Chen Futu standing there like a dazed goose.
Sun Linlin tugged at her clothes again, signaling her to kneel, but Chen Futu remained unmoved, looking strangely at the furious Chen Yuling. "Is the princess sure she wants to cause me trouble?"
"I'm certain. Victory or defeat doesn't matter. What matters is that you, you scoundrel, dared to offend this princess! If I don't teach you a lesson, how can I save face!"
"Alright, we'll settle the score later. You three go back first."
Chen Futu gestured, and Sun Wei finally suppressed his doubts, pulling his younger brother and sister away first.
Once he was sure the three of them were gone, Chen Futu glared at Chen Yuling and then tore off his disguise.
Upon seeing this, the Tiger Guard immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"elder brother?"
Chen Yuling froze for a moment, then reined in her horse to run away, but Ake grabbed the reins like a ghost. "Princess, get down."
Chen Yuling immediately wore a bitter expression, dismounted, pinched her ear, and timidly stepped forward, "Brother, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again, sob sob sob—"
"Who are you trying to fool with this act of playing the victim? Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to get involved in this matter?" Chen Futu asked sternly.
Chen Yuling nodded repeatedly, "I told them, I just didn't want the academy to lose face."
"The disciples of the academy are too arrogant. They dare to openly defy the law and act violently in public. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson, but you interfered. I couldn't deal with them and could only give them a verbal warning in the end."
Chen Futu pointed at Chen Yuling's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.
"Brother, calm down. I'll take care of this for you and make sure they learn their lesson."
"Forget it, this matter is over, but you disregarded orders and interfered in the affairs of the Royal City, so you must be punished."
As he spoke, Chen Futu summoned Dian Wei.
Chen Yuling was so frightened that she ran towards House No. 1, but she was dragged back by Ake after only a few steps.
Chen Futu said to Dian Wei, "Have Luo Wushuang send this brat to the southern camp and hand her over to Qin Liangyu to discipline her properly."
"Here!"
Dian Wei didn't care about being a princess; he grabbed Chen Yuling and dragged her away.
Chen Yuling jumped up and down, shouting, "Brother, you just wait, I'll get my sister-in-law to deal with you!"
"You still dare to talk back? Do you really think I won't resort to family discipline?"
"Hmph, fine, I'll go! I'm going to tell Mother you bullied me!"
Chen Yuling finally dared not make a sound anymore; she was genuinely afraid of being beaten with a feather duster if she knelt in front of her father's memorial tablet.
"What a headache."
Chen Futu rubbed his temples as he returned to Residence No. 1.
When Li Xiuning was told what had happened, she laughed heartily, “That’s just how my little sister is, like a wild little horse. If you tell her not to do something, she’ll do it anyway. It’s good to hand her over to Sister Qin. In this world, the only people who can keep her in check are the old lady and Sister Qin.”
Next, Chen Futu instructed Yu Qian to control the spread of information to prevent anyone from gossiping about the princess behind her back.
The three Sun siblings, who had returned home, were filled with anxiety and sent people to inquire about the situation. They received shocking news: the princess had been sent by the king to the southern camp to be disciplined by Qin Liangyu.
"Who exactly is this Young Master Qin?" Sun Feng couldn't understand it. The Pearl of the Northern Frontier seemed to be of lower status than this Young Master Qin, which was simply outrageous.
"Something's wrong."
Sun Wei felt that something was off about what happened today. Logically speaking, Chen Yuling should have been able to deal with a nobleman's son with just a word, but instead, he ended up getting himself involved.
Sun Wei went to see the lady with doubts in his mind.
The lady knelt before the memorial tablet of the Prince of Kaiping, holding a wooden fish, while Sun Wei recounted the whole story.
The lady paused in striking the wooden fish and said, "Is it possible that this young master Qin is the King of the Northern Frontier?"
"Wha, what?"
Sun Wei jumped to his feet in shock. "Mother, you mean the one who's been with us all along is actually that person!"
"At first I didn't understand either, until I returned to the Northern Frontier that day and saw Qin Liangyu's attitude towards that young master, then I was convinced that he was the King of the Northern Frontier."
Why are you so certain?
"Who is Qin Liangyu? She is the Princess Consort of the Northern Frontier, the future Empress. How could she secretly have an affair with another man behind the back of the Northern Frontier King? In addition, the young man's surname is Qin, and Qin Liangyu's behavior with him is intimate. They can't be relatives, they can only be her husband. Everyone knows that the Northern Frontier King loves Qin Liangyu the most, so it is very reasonable for him to travel outside in her name."
After the old lady finished speaking, Sun Wei remained silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't you say so sooner about such a big thing?"
"You call yourself a descendant of the Sun family? The King of the Northern Frontier deliberately didn't tell you his identity, and he acted intimately with Qin Liangyu in public. This concerns the royal heir, so he's testing your loyalty. What are you still standing there for?"
The old lady frowned and asked.
Sun Wei suddenly realized the truth, "So that's how it is! Mother, I'll go see the King right away and tell him that Qin Liangyu is having an affair."
"Wait a minute, if the King of Northern Frontier asks you why you betrayed Qin Shao, the one who saved your life, how will you answer?"
"I……"
Sun Wei was at a loss, torn between loyalty and righteousness. The King of the Northern Frontier had given him a life-threatening dilemma.
