Chapter 826: Chapter 826 Beat Him Up

The next day

The streets and alleys of the Capital were abuzz with what had happened last night in front of Qinger Building.

Zhang San, the instigator of the incident, ended up as a supporting player, while Prince Pu, who had not shown his face, became the center of controversy.

Whether it was common folk or high-ranking nobility, everyone despised his actions: buying off thugs like Zhang San for business dealings in a brothel, not caring about his status, and bringing shame upon the Royal Family.

Prince Pu’s Mansion

Early in the morning, the steward went out for shopping and heard all the rumors around town. He could no longer focus on shopping, hurried back to Prince Pu’s Mansion, and reported everything to Prince Pu.

While Prince Pu was having breakfast with Princess Consort Pu, he heard the news and became furious: “How can this be? Who is spreading these rumors?”

“Your Highness, it seems to be a thug named Zhang San.”

Prince Pu suddenly realized, angrily throwing down his chopsticks, said with great annoyance, “I knew he was incompetent; I shouldn’t have entrusted him with this matter.”

Princess Consort Pu put her Osmanthus Cake back into the bowl: “Your Highness, what exactly happened?”

“Alas! It’s all because of Qinger! Why did that brothel have to be named after Qinger Building? Isn’t this just adding to our Qinger’s troubles?”

“Yes! It’s indeed infuriating, a noble lady’s name linked to a brothel. Anyone would be uncomfortable; Your Highness, what do you plan to do?”

“What can we do? The whole city is in an uproar now, we can only let it cool down for now and adapt our strategy later.”

“Your Highness, have you considered this: no matter how popular it is, it’s still just a brothel. If we give them some Silver, have them change the name, wouldn’t that solve everything?”

“Right, why didn’t I think of that?” exclaimed Prince Pu, standing up abruptly.

“Your Highness, where are you going?”

“To give Silver to Qinger Building to change its name, so our precious granddaughter won’t be upset.”

“Oh dear! It’s too early for that, finish your breakfast first.” Princess Consort Pu couldn’t help but laugh out loud – the Prince has many virtues, but he’s too impatient.

“Right, right, look at me, forgetting myself in excitement. Those lands of fireworks operate at night and rest during the day, going now, we surely won’t find anyone.”

“Exactly, please sit down and finish your breakfast, it’s gotten cold.” Princess Consort Pu stretched out her hand, picked up her chopsticks, and placed a few crystal-clear dumplings into his bowl.

“No, I have other matters to handle.”

Thinking of the betraying Zhang San, Prince Pu was furious. Without teaching this thug a lesson, he couldn’t quell the resentment in his heart. He, a dignified Prince, had been pushed into the limelight and turned into the laughingstock of the entire Capital.

“Steward, come here. I have a task for you.”

After speaking, Prince Pu walked outside.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Hearing this, the steward scurried after Prince Pu.

Study

After entering, Prince Pu asked the steward to close the door.

“Your Highness, what is the matter?”

Prince Pu didn’t say a word, sat down at the desk, picked up his brush, and swiftly wrote a few characters, then blew on them and handed them to the steward.

“Take a few men with you, find this person using this address, and give him a good beating to vent my anger.”

The steward looked at the paper, saw that it was the home address of Zhang San, nodded and said: “Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle this matter cleanly and beautifully.”
