Now look what's happened! These little brats got their comeuppance without us even lifting a finger! Watching their unreasonable parents cry and wail, everyone felt a surge of satisfaction and pleasure!
"Wow! This is truly a blessing from heaven! Hahaha!"
"I knew it! How could such a lively and energetic boy suddenly turn into this? Even God couldn't stand it anymore!"
"If the parents don't discipline their children properly... then God will have to take care of them!"
"It's too late to regret it now! If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Of course, it's not enough to just feel secretly pleased after something like this happens. The neighbors and shopkeepers who had previously suffered from these little brats started to mock them.
At this moment, they all had gloating expressions on their faces!
Wei Tingyu looked at the chaotic scene on the street and just chuckled to himself.
Of course, he wouldn't really ruin these kids' lives because of their actions, but after he struck their lower body's immobilization acupoints, these kids wouldn't be able to stand up and walk without lying in bed for several days.
This lesson will surely teach them and their irresponsible parents a lesson in the future!
From this perspective, I can say that I have made a small contribution to the security and harmony of Beijing!
Of course, Zhuang Hanyan saw all of this. She frowned slightly, and even with her dirty face, she still showed a clear look of doubt.
Why does this scene look so familiar? It's just like what happened a month ago when I was bullied by Zhang Youchang and his wife!
At this moment, she remembered the handsome fox-faced gentleman who had saved her! Because when he left, he specifically left a message indicating that he would meet her again in the capital in the future.
Could it be that this handsome, foxy young man is secretly helping me again?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Hanyan slightly raised her eyelids and looked around through the tattered cloak, but she did not find the figure.
However, this did not dispel Zhuang Hanyan's doubts, because when the handsome fox-faced young man hid in the treetops outside the courtyard to help her, she did not see him.
Even Chai Jing could only guess that there was a master nearby, and if the master was unwilling to show himself, even Chai Jing would not be able to find his location.
So it's very possible that this handsome fox-faced young man is secretly watching him right now!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Hanyan's heart suddenly raced.
However, the other party probably didn't intend to disrupt her plan... Thinking this, Zhuang Hanyan could only suppress her doubts and continue walking towards the Zhuang family compound with her wooden cane!
Wei Tingyu nodded in agreement upon seeing this scene, and had to admit that this woman's mind was truly resolute!
No wonder she was able to get her revenge in the end!
However, if Zhuang Hanyan enters the Zhuang family compound like this, what excuse will Wei Tingyu use to connect with her and the Zhuang family in the future?
After all, they couldn't be sneaking around all night, climbing over walls and sneaking off to flirt with Zhuang Hanyan, could they?
We need to come up with a legitimate reason to frequently visit the dealer's office!
Wei Tingyu's eyes darted around, and a plan immediately came to him! He promptly paid the bill with a certain amount of silver, turned around, and left the teahouse!
……
After traversing this short yet seemingly endless stretch of icy road, Zhuang Hanyan finally turned into the alley where the Zhuang residence was located. From afar, she saw the gates of the Zhuang residence open, with many figures moving back and forth at the entrance.
It's now!
Seeing this rare opportunity, as if God were looking out for her, Zhuang Hanyan immediately quickened her pace and headed towards the gate.
If the gates of the Zhuang mansion are closed, then even if I pretend to faint at the entrance, it won't do any good! I might be dead by the time I'm discovered!
Now is definitely the best time!
As Zhuang Hanyan gritted her teeth and thought to herself, she finally arrived at the main gate of the Zhuang residence.
Then she loosened her grip on the wooden cane, and her whole body went limp as if she had exhausted all her strength, preparing to fall directly onto the gate of the Zhuang mansion.
However, just as her body tilted slightly, she suddenly bumped into a broad and sturdy chest!
What's worse, the other person even hugged him!
Even if Zhuang Hanyan didn't exert any strength at all, she could only collapse into the other person's arms and couldn't fall to the ground!
What's going on? Zhuang Hanyan was stunned, then subconsciously looked up and saw a very richly dressed young man embracing her...
The other person was looking at her with a surprised expression, seemingly wondering why she had fallen into his arms!
Zhuang Hanyan felt a sense of foreboding upon seeing this! However, since things had already come to this point, she couldn't break free from the other person's embrace immediately, or she would be exposed.
Thinking of this, he could only roll his eyes back and pretend to faint.
Looking at Zhuang Hanyan lying in his arms, seemingly unconscious, Wei Tingyu almost burst out laughing.
Fortunately, he managed to hold back, and with a quick thought, he shouted loudly to Zhuang Hanyan, who was pretending to have fainted, "Miss? What's wrong with you?"
Because Wei Tingyu was dressed very luxuriously, he was clearly not a young master from an ordinary family. Moreover, he was holding a unconscious little beggar in his arms and shouting loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone inside the Zhuang family's gate.
The gatekeeper was quick-witted. Upon seeing this, he immediately instructed his companion to inform the masters, and then he himself ran out in a few quick steps.
"Young master... what's going on?" The young man naturally didn't recognize Wei Tingyu, but still asked respectfully.
"This girl is exhausted and has fainted at your doorstep!" Wei Tingyu frowned, glanced at the other person, and said, "Do you have any hot soup in your residence? Bring her a bowl..."
"Yes! Yes! I'll go right away!" The gatekeeper nodded quickly upon hearing this, then turned and ran inside.
After all, if someone were to die at one's own doorstep, even if it was a beggar, it would be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the head of the household!
At this moment, Wei Tingyu also saw two brightly dressed maids chasing after a little girl carrying a candied hawthorn as she ran out of the main gate.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared and interfered, it would be this little girl who would have found Zhuang Hanyan lying unconscious on the ground right now.
However, this time, the opportunity was snatched away by Wei Tingyu, who had been plotting for a long time!
"Whose daughter is this?" As the two maids took the little girl into their arms, they naturally saw Zhuang Hanyan, who had fainted in Wei Tingyu's arms at the door, and without saying a word, they surrounded her.
After all, this happened at the entrance of the dealer's house, and women are naturally gossipy and curious, so their instincts made them involuntarily get involved.
"Young master! What happened to this young lady? Why did she collapse in front of our manor?" Of course, compared to Zhuang Hanyan, who had already fainted, the two maids naturally asked Wei Tingyu.
"I..." Upon hearing this, Zhuang Hanyan naturally couldn't continue pretending to be unconscious! After all, Wei Tingyu definitely didn't know who she was, so she immediately twitched her eyelashes slightly, pretending to have just woken up.
"I am... Zhuang Hanyan..."
After saying this, Zhuang Hanyan had completed the message she wanted to convey, and without saying another word, she "fainted" again.
"Zhuang Hanyan?" The two maids were taken aback, then looked at each other in confusion. They seemed to vaguely recognize the name, but couldn't quite place it.
Wei Tingyu was speechless. Did he really have to personally step in and remind him about this?
"She also has the surname Zhuang, and your family also has the surname Zhuang..." Helpless, he could only say, "This whole journey of searching can't be just a coincidence, can it?"
"Huh?" The two maids were taken aback, and then their eyes, which had been filled with doubt, widened instantly.
The older nanny suddenly exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, "Third Miss! It's that Third Miss! It's the Third Miss from Danzhou!"
"Help! The Third Miss is back!" The elderly nanny shouted as she tossed the little girl she had been holding to her companion and rushed into the mansion.
Wei Tingyu sighed, then lowered his eyes to look at Zhuang Hanyan, who was still half-lying in his arms pretending to be unconscious.
The girl's lips twitched slightly, clearly indicating that she was suppressing a smile.
It seems she knows her plan has succeeded in its first step, and she can't hold back any longer...
……
"Please have some tea, Your Excellency!" A moment later, in the main hall of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Shiyang's second daughter, Zhuang Yushan, was respectfully offering tea to Wei Tingyu.
Wei Tingyu, of course, made no attempt to hide it, and readily accepted the teacup. After taking a small sip, he placed the teacup on the table beside him.
When Zhuang's grandmother, Madam Wei, and Zhuang Shiyang's concubine, Zhou Ruyin, saw this scene, their faces immediately lit up with smiles.
After all, Zhuang Shiyang was just a minor compiler in the Hanlin Academy. In the past, he had only associated with some low-ranking officials. When had the Zhuang family ever had a distinguished guest like the Duke?

Chapter 213 The Duke's backing! Zhuang Hanyan exudes the air of a noble lady!
Moreover, Wei Tingyu had just been promoted from Marquis of Jining to Duke of Wei based on his merits in stabilizing the southwest! In the eyes of the court officials, he was enjoying the Emperor's favor!
Now that they saw him, such a young and handsome man, both women in the Zhuang family simultaneously had a thought that they had never dared to consider before.
This is why they had the second young lady, Zhuang Yushan, personally serve tea to Wei Tingyu!
Zhuang Yushan, however, already had a man she liked in her heart, and naturally had no interest in Wei Tingyu. Although she didn't deny that the man was indeed very charming, she couldn't help but feel that her heart belonged to someone else.
Therefore, she was dissatisfied with her grandmother's and mother's arrangements, but she could not refuse them.
"My master is away on official business today, so he is not at home!" Zhou Ruyin rolled her eyes at her daughter after she finished serving tea to Wei Tingyu, and then smiled and said to Wei Tingyu, "Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality, Your Excellency!"
"Lord Duke, Lord Duke... You're so old and you're always being called 'Lord'... Aren't you afraid of being called old?" Zhuang Yushan was naturally very willful, and after hearing his mother's words, which were full of flattery, he immediately muttered something in a low voice in displeasure.
"Yu Shan!" Of course, Zhuang Yu Shan's muttering wasn't quiet either; even Zhou Ru Yin, who was sitting next to him, heard it. Her expression changed, and she quickly whispered a rebuke.
Zhuang Yushan was startled. When he looked at Wei Tingyu again and saw that he did not show any anger, he stuck out his tongue, gave him a slight bow, and stepped back behind his mother, standing there obediently.
Of course, what she just did was also intentional! Because she knew that if Wei Tingyu really took a liking to her and wanted to take her into his household, even as a concubine, her father, mother, and grandmother would be overjoyed to hand her over to the Duke of Wei's mansion!
"Please forgive me, Your Excellency!" Seeing that her daughter had finally fallen silent, Zhou Ruyin glared at her helplessly, then turned to Wei Tingyu and said, "My daughter has been spoiled rotten since she was little, and she has no manners in front of noblemen..."
"I will definitely punish her properly afterward and make sure she remembers the rules!"
Wei Tingyu found it amusing to hear this; the other party's intention to sell his daughter to him was far too obvious!
However, he did have a thought of properly disciplining Zhuang Yushan, this stubborn ancient fairy.
