With a single glance from Jia Huan, more than a dozen tall and burly men immediately rose from the surrounding tables and surrounded the boy from whom Jia Huan had a rival.
"Who are you people? Feng Ziying, you bastard, how dare you launch a sneak attack? If you've got the guts, let's fight one-on-one!"
The young man's expression changed drastically, but he didn't show much panic. Instead, he started cursing at Feng Ziying.
"Huan-ge, look..."
Young people are hot-blooded and proud; how could they stand the insults from their enemies?
"If you want to do it, go ahead and do it yourself. I won't stop you!"
Jia Huan said calmly, "Let me also see the abilities of the son of the Divine Martial General!"
Feng Ziying stood up confidently, while Jia Baoyu's face turned pale as he said, "Since we've already arranged to meet them, let's talk things out. There's no need to resort to fists, is there?"
Jia Huan rolled his eyes, utterly speechless.
He gently tugged at Jia Baoyu and whispered, "Brother Bao, that's between Brother Feng and that enemy boy. Don't get involved!"
Feng Ziying pretended not to hear and walked towards the arrogant young man she had a rival with a smile.
With a series of crackling sounds, in the deliberately created open space on the second floor of the restaurant, the two teenagers were fighting fiercely, their fists and feet flying, almost tearing each other apart with their teeth.
As a result, Feng Ziying, who had been so confident just moments before, was kicked away by his enemy and couldn't get up for a long time, leaving Jia Huan quite astonished.
Damn, I thought you were a tough guy who could beat up your enemies with your fists and feet.
I never expected you to turn out to be such a spineless coward.
"Brother Feng didn't perform well today; he usually has a slight edge!"
Sitting next to her, Wei Ruolan awkwardly tried to save face: "Really, I'm not lying to you!"
Whether he was lying or not was no longer relevant; Jia Huan got up and prepared to take action.
After all, he is Commandant Qiu's son. It wouldn't be good to have his subordinates handle it, as it might provoke the boy's rebellious attitude. There's no need for that.
"Hehe, another delivery guy is here!"
Clearly, this time, trampling Feng Ziying underfoot has made the young enemy a bit arrogant.
In terms of size and build, Jia Huan was still somewhat inferior to the fifteen-year-old Feng Ziying, which naturally made the young enemy look down on him even more.
But no one expected the outcome. The once arrogant rival was slapped to the ground by Jia Huan and couldn't get up for a long time.
What goes around comes around; just a moment ago, it was Feng Ziying who was being humiliated by him.
The henchmen around him stirred and were about to make a move, but they were immediately restrained by the dozen or so men that Jia Huan brought, and they didn't dare to make any rash moves.
"who are you?"
It took the boy from the enemy clan a while to squat down, and he looked at Jia Huan with considerable fear: "There's no way Feng Ziying's friends could be a master like you!"
These words were very hurtful. Feng Ziying, who had just been badly beaten and had a bruised and swollen face, was quite angry.
Unfortunately, these were the absolute truths, and he didn't know how to refute them.
Among his friends, Liu Xianglian could easily defeat his enemy, Qiu Duwei. However, Liu Xianglian rarely made a move; did he really think Qiu Duwei was a pushover?
"Jia Huan of the Rong Mansion, do you understand now?"
Jia Huan chuckled and waved for his underlings to take the man to a corner; he wanted to question him personally.
Since it concerned Lin Daiyu's reputation, he naturally had to be cautious.
There are some things that shouldn't be known to outsiders, so don't pretend to be generous and end up embarrassing yourself.
Unfortunately, Jia Baoyu was completely unaware of the intricacies of the situation. At this moment, he suddenly blurted out, "Weren't you asking about Lin Daiyu? What's there to hide? We're all family!"
boom!
Enraged, Jia Huan kicked over a nearby table.
He didn't say anything, nor did he look back at Jia Baoyu. Instead, he dragged the boy he was arguing with to a corner and questioned him about the matter.
"Kid, you probably know why I'm looking for you!"
Jia Huan's expression remained calm, and he said in a cold tone, "If you know what's good for you, just say it clearly, otherwise you'll inevitably suffer a beating. I won't be polite to you!"
"You need to understand that your father's actions have angered my uncle-in-law, Mr. Lin, and my master!"
"It's good that your father is a saint without any problems, but if we discover any stain on his reputation, you should know what the consequences will be!"
"I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to think it over. Don't wait any longer!"
After saying that, he casually pulled up a chair and sat down next to him, looking at the guy with indifferent eyes.
The boy who had been antagonizing the enemy wanted to say something tough, but when he met Jia Huan's cold gaze, he suddenly shivered.
Remembering his father's earlier warnings, he immediately hung his head dejectedly and said, "I'll tell you, but don't do anything reckless, or my father won't allow it!"
"Ha ha……"
Jia Huan chuckled and said irritably, "Stop rambling and talking nonsense, I'm not in a good mood!"
"If you didn't know that dealing with your father wouldn't make any difference, do you think you'd still be standing here so arrogantly?"
These words startled the young man from the enemy family, who dared not utter any more nonsense and said directly, "That matter has nothing to do with my father. I have absolutely no interest in marrying the daughter of a civil official!"
"We are aware of this!"
Jia Huan sneered, "What I want to know is who ordered this. You're asking for a beating, kid!"
Life is unpredictable; as you get older, it's best to take better care of yourself. If your children are capable, they won't need your help; if they aren't, helping them is pointless.

"It was Prince Zhongshun who instigated my father!"
The young man from the enemy family sneered, "So what? Now that you know the truth, what can the Rong family do?"
Jia Huan stood up and kicked the fellow, saying irritably, "If you can't deal with Prince Zhongshun, do you think you can't handle you, kid? Behave yourself!"
This kick didn't use much force, but it had only one effect: it hurt!
The boy from the enemy clan let out a muffled groan, and within moments a layer of cold sweat had seeped onto his forehead.
This kid was pretty tough; he just glared at Jia Huan fiercely and then closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
That's why it's said that the guy who doesn't get along with Feng Ziying and the others has a rather hot-blooded and immature personality.
If it were someone with a malicious mind, their eyes would have shown some ruthlessness at this moment, but not this kid. Anyway, he hasn't reached that point yet.
"What else is there to say? I'm sure your father hinted at it!"
Jia Huan didn't care about the boy's attitude and calmly said, "Don't ruin your father's affairs!"
"You should know that your father has offended a high-ranking official of the second rank in the imperial court, as well as the Rong family, a core family of founding nobles. Neither of them are families your father can withstand!"
These words were very effective. The enemy boy, who had just been planning to be 'loyal and unyielding,' now opened his eyes and looked utterly dejected.
“My father mentioned that Prince Zhongshun was very dissatisfied with Vice Minister Lin’s monopolization of the Ministry of Rites!”
"My father's actions this time were a warning to Minister Lin to take the initiative and not let things escalate to the point where everyone is unhappy, and the outcome will certainly not be one that Minister Lin would want!"
“My father also mentioned the salt commissioner of Yangzhou, saying that Prince Zhongshun had some ideas!”
"It would be best if we could keep that scoundrel Jia Yucun in his position as Salt Inspector for a few more years!"
"If that's not possible, then we should consider having Vice Minister Lin go back to oversee the salt administration!"
"Minister Lin doesn't have many options. It all depends on his own thoughts. He can either step down voluntarily or retire completely and no longer serve in the Ministry of Rites!"
Clearly, the young man from the enemy family was quite confused about the deeper meaning behind these words.
When he repeated these words, his tone was stiff and his face was full of confusion. It's likely that if Commander Qiu hadn't been repeating them so often, he probably wouldn't have remembered them all.
In Jia Huan's heart, a storm of emotions was brewing!
Damn it, he was now certain that even if the matter of Commandant Qiu had no direct connection to the current emperor, the current emperor must have known about it and secretly fueled it.
What is this "Prince Zhongshun"?
He's just a powerless prince with no real authority. His name may be impressive and intimidating, but if he tries to do anything, he's just asking for trouble.
This guy does have some retainers, but he would never easily take on important positions.
Otherwise, if the current emperor were to have any doubts, the consequences would be far beyond what a mere prince could bear.
He's still holding the position of Salt Commissioner? You dare try to take it?
It's no exaggeration to say that the powerful figures behind those salt merchants would make Prince Zhongshun suffer a terrible fate without the emperor even having to lift a finger.
Didn't you see? Before, Jia Huan stood up for Master Zheng and used a firecracker to directly turn Prince Zhongshun into Prince Zhongshun of the Second Rank. How much hatred is there?
Did anyone in the Rong Mansion, including Jia Huan, ever care?
In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, the Rong family had already fallen into such a state of ruin that, apart from the Second Master Zheng scaring himself and letting the Chief Secretary of the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion show off for a while, in the so-called sequel, the Rong family was raided by the Prince Zhongshun himself, which shows that the so-called prince was nothing more than that.
Therefore, many of the things that the enemy boy said did not make sense.
If something goes wrong, it must be a monster!
Although the living conditions of the imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty were better than those of their predecessors in the Ming Dynasty, at least they did not have to worry about being treated like pigs, but they did not have much real power.
Only those like Prince Zhongshun, who have the approval of the current emperor, can take charge of certain tasks or preside over matters that are not easy for ministers to handle.
