Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Fight in the Manyue Tower

It was just a one-night stand. After the night, there would be no further relations between both parties. Women got what they wanted, and men enjoyed great excitement and satisfaction.

“No. We’re just looking for someone. Of course, madam, if you’re willing to sell the girl to us, we’d like to pay.” Jin Ye explained.

He was well aware of the real boss of the brothel. How could he be short of money? The whole country belonged to him. He wasn’t short of anything, and nor was the Empress. It was insulting to talk about money at this moment.

The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes and raised her chin, signaling them to look at all the girls’ pictures on the wall. She said, “Look at the girls in Manyue Tower. Many of them are beautiful. You can buy back the freedom of anyone you like.”

Then she began to drink tea and looked unconcerned.

“We’re looking for a girl named Ling.” The Empress walked closer. She knew the woman was putting on airs, but there was not much time left for her. If Shen Zhongbai knew she left the palace without permission, the consequence would be unimaginable.

Of course, the Empress also knew that Shen Zhongbai was clear about everything. How could he not know that she had left the Weiyang Palace?

Now that she had left the palace, she must get Ling out of the brothel. Her life was tough enough. She was determined to rise to any challenge.

The woman turned around to look up and down at the Empress, curled her lips scornfully, and responded, “We don’t provide service for women. If you want a woman, I can’t help you.”

The Empress looked sulky, thinking that if she revealed her identity, the woman could be killed, but she’d better not use her privilege rashly because she wanted to rescue her servant girl.

“Is she here or not?” The Empress moved closer. Her outburst of anger astonished everyone there.

Shen Qianshan used to consider the Empress silly, but it turned out that he was wrong. Holding the position for so many years, the Empress was not just good at opening her eyes wide and playing dumb. The imposing manner had been deeply rooted in her bone.

The woman was startled, but she didn’t want to show that she was overwhelmed by the Empress, so she stood up and rebuked, “Behave yourselves! Listen! No one in the country can make a scene here. If you don’t know, I will give you a lesson today. Then you will know what the Manyue Tower is capable of!”

The Empress snorted in the heart. The woman and Shen Zhongbai were birds of a feather, shameless and arrogant. They thought they had everything in hand, but it was not true.

Shen Qianshan turned around and whispered to Jin Ye, “Go to the backyard with Sha to find Ling by whatever means.”

Jin Ye nodded and gestured. Sha took the hint immediately behind the Empress and walked slowly to Jin Ye.

Then a group of guys rushed in. They were wearing black masks. Probably they were goons or Shen Zhongbai’s secret guards. There were over twenty guys. They laid siege to the small room.

The woman sneered and waved her fan as if she was about to dance. Her pride was shown clearly on her face.

“It’s not late to stop now. You can’t afford to get involved.” Before the woman was done, Shen Qianshan drew the Empress behind him and kicked a guy in black before him.

He used so much strength that the guy flew away and fell on his partners heavily. The surrounding ones fell too, due to the impact force.

The woman opened her mouth and tried to control her facial expression. She waved, and her accomplices received the command. They shouted and rushed forward.

It became a scene of chaos. Shen Qianshan grabbed the Empress with one hand and resisted with his fan in the other hand.

Xiang was standing behind the Empress, and Su Ge was close to Shen Qianshan. They formed a circle. Though rushing towards them continuously, the guys in black couldn’t beat them.

Su Ge and Jin Ye had worked for Shen Qianshan since their childhood. They were capable, agile, and smart, let alone Xiang and Sha. The Wangyue Family was promoted by the Empress and took secret actions. It was said that the master of the Wangyue Family was rescued by the Empress, so he acted upon whatever she said to repay her, and all the girls in the family had to learn Kungfu to serve the Empress.

But the guys in black couldn’t be underestimated. Though they were not so skilled in Kungfu, they outnumbered their rivals. After an hour, Shen Qianshan found it difficult to defend.

So were Su Ge and Sha.

The ground was scattered with tables, bead curtains, chairs, cloth curtains, windows, cupboards, and shelves. Shen Qianshan held the Empress’s hand tightly. She felt his hand hot as if blood was continuously circulating.

She was averse to any touch of Shen Qianshan because it would remind her of Shen Zhongbai’s suspicion. But she had a clean relationship with Shen Qianshan, so she had a clear conscience.

However, could she say that now? She lowered her head to look at his hand, which was as hot as fire but still as white as paper.

She looked up and met Shen Qianshan’s eyes, only to find he was looking at her too. There was a thin bloodstain on his face. He reached out the other hand with a sword, wiped the blood, and asked smilingly, “What are you looking at? Are you scared?”

In his opinion, she was from a respectable family, and how could she withstand such a bloody scene? But it turned out that he underestimated her. She looked casual and calm, and her eyes were firm. Not scared at all, she protected herself carefully. She was different from any other woman in the palace.

“I’m afraid you will get injured.” The Empress said in a voice as soft as a feather, which floated into Shen Qianshan’s ears.

She was afraid he would get injured? Shen Qianshan’s ears became hot. Then he blocked the attack from a knife with his hand. The attack was targeted at the Empress. It appeared that these guys were determined to kill her.

Shen Qianshan tried his best to dodge, and Su Ge and Xiang resisted in time, so they were all fine.

The middle-aged woman behind the guys in black rubbed her handkerchief nervously. Finding the guys in black became less and many had been lying on the ground, she told the goons at once, “Call more guys here.”

What she said imposed great pressure on Shen Qianshan and his partners. It was not easy to fight against these guys. They were unable to cope with more. It was useless to reveal their identities, which were known to their rivals. The wild arrogance of the middle-aged woman indicated she had known the Empress would come here for Ling.

What was worse…Shen Qianshan’s eyes sparkled. It occurred to him that the woman or Shen Zhongbai just wanted to kill the Empress. If the Empress was killed here, Shen Zhongbai could attribute it to manslaughter or claim that the Empress sneaked out of the palace and was murdered.

No matter what Shen Zhongbai did, he always aimed at Shen Qianshan and the Empress instead of Ling.

He wanted to kill both of them.

Shen Qianshan didn’t know there would be so many guys skilled in Kungfu in the brothel until now. Though he was superior, it was difficult to beat them. The easiest way was to escape!

At this time, a clear and even ear-piercing whistle came from somewhere outside. Shen Qianshan’s eyes lit up. Then he took the Empress by her waist and flew out of the window.

The Empress didn’t realize what happened. She didn’t find she had been taken out by Shen Qianshan until she stopped to look around. Standing on the roof of a restaurant across from the Manyue Tower, she lowered her head to look down and found herself standing at a place that was three floors high. If falling, she might be badly mutilated.

Shen Qianshan didn’t loosen his grip on the Empress’s waist. Maybe he was afraid her legs would turn to jelly and thus she would fall.

He looked up and saw Xiang and Su Ge rush out of the window too, with a flock of guys in black hot on their heels.

They flew out like flies. Their knives gleamed in the sun. If a person was cut, he or she might die.

Shen Qianshan sighed heavily. Lowering his head to look at the Empress, he found she still had no idea what was happening. He smiled and said, “Hold on tight. We have no time to take a rest.”

Then he lifted her again and flew towards his mansion.

Though nervous, the Empress still looked calm.

They flew to the duke’s mansion quickly and jumped down the wall. When they turned around, the guys in black had stopped chasing. Now that they had reached the duke’s mansion, the goons couldn’t continue chasing. It was disgraceful. Shen Qianshan went to the brothel with just a few persons, which meant he didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. If the guys in black did something rashly without permission, not only themselves would be killed but their families would be involved.

Goons were all desperadoes. But everyone valued his family members highly. He could lose his life anytime, but he couldn’t put his family members at risk.

Shen Qianshan put the Empress down in the center of the main hall. When she loosened her grip, her legs felt like jelly, and she managed to hold onto a nearby table to stop herself from falling.
