With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.
Chapter 23 Taking an Arm as Interest
The Prince of Zhenyuan's Mansion.
Nangong Wu went to the children's room to see her two sons.
Five days have passed, and my son has gained a lot of weight. His little face is no longer wrinkled.
Granny Feng was making new clothes for the two children when she saw her come in and said, "Princess, it's time to name the two children."
"Okay, we'll name them when we have time." Nangong Wu has been busy these past few days and hasn't named the children yet.
"Look at the child's face, it's so square and upright. When they grow up, they'll definitely be as handsome and dashing as the prince," said Granny Feng with a smile.
I think it's good that the princess has these children.
In the future, the eldest son will inherit the title of king, and the princess will then request a title for the younger son. In this capital, let's see who dares to say that they are illegitimate children.
At this moment, Li Shuang walked in and said, "Princess, the carriage is already waiting outside the mansion gate."
"I understand!" Nangong Wu tucked the blanket around the child. "Nanny, I have to go out for a bit."
"Princess, you are in confinement after childbirth. Be careful not to catch a cold when you go out." Granny Feng took a cloak and draped it over her shoulders.
"I understand!" Nangong Wu nodded and left with Li Shuang.
Her health has improved considerably, and she can walk a little faster now.
The two left the palace, and the driver was still Li Cheng, dressed in the uniform of a palace guard.
Li Cheng helped her open the carriage curtain. "Princess, where are we going?"
After Nangong Wu settled into the carriage, she said to him, "Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!"
She should take a look at her father's businesses!
"Yes!" Li Cheng raised the whip in his hand and drove away.
Before long, the car entered the bustling street.
"Princess, there's a restaurant called Huo Ji Restaurant on this Jinxiu Street. You haven't been out for a long time, would you like to take a look?" Li Shuang knew that the princess used to love the food at that restaurant.
"Alright, let's go take a look!" Nangong Wu opened the carriage curtain and looked outside.
In my memory, my father always liked to bring the original owner to this street for meals.
As they approached the restaurant, a guard quietly drew near the carriage. "Princess, the Ming family went to the Treasure Pavilion and bought a lot of jewelry. They wanted to buy on credit, but the manager refused, and they've started arguing."
"The Liu family?" Nangong Wu's eyes were cold. "Li Cheng, go to the Treasure Pavilion first."
In the past, Zhou Shaorong often took Liu Yue'er and the Ming family to patronize the Huo family's shops, taking the goods and leaving without ever paying any money.
"Giddy up!" Li Cheng drove the car forward.
Huo Ji Restaurant is about a kilometer away from Zhenbaoge. From a distance, you can see a lot of people outside the restaurant.
"Stop." Nangong Wu told Li Cheng to stop, and she and Li Shuang got out of the car.
"Princess, Manager Hu has received your instructions and will not extend credit to those people," Li Shuang said.
"Let's go inside and take a look first!" Nangong Wu stepped into the store.
"Bang!" A person tumbled down the steps.
"Hahaha……"
Several people on the steps burst into laughter.
Nangong Wu looked up and saw two young men and a girl standing on the steps at the shop entrance, with several servants standing beside them, laughing smugly.
She recognized these people: one was Liu Yue'er's younger brother, Liu Xiu, and the other two were the Ming siblings, who were also the two children of Madam Zhou's elder brother, Ming Tianheng and Ming Yan'er.
"Manager Hu..." Li Shuang hurriedly went to help the person up, but was stopped by Nangong Wu.
She wanted to see just how arrogant these people could be.
Manager Hu got up, his forehead was cut open, and blood was flowing down his cheek.
After the three men finished laughing, they turned around and went back into the Treasure Pavilion.
"Yan'er, feel free to pick out whatever jewelry you like. With your brother here, let's see who dares to stop us from taking it away!" Ming Tianheng said arrogantly.
"Brother, you're so kind." Ming Yan'er pointed to the jewelry on the counter and instructed the maid who had come with her.
"Wrap all these things up carefully, because I'm going to wear them to visit the Imperial Concubine tomorrow." Ming Yan'er raised her voice, showing off the relationship between the Ming family and the Imperial Concubine.
"In broad daylight, you broke into the store and robbed us! This is utterly lawless!" Manager Hu returned to the store, pointing at the three men, his beard trembling with rage.
"Old man, didn't I tell you to put it on the tab? Can't you understand human language?" Young Master Ming's face turned sinister again when he saw that the shopkeeper still dared to ramble on.
"Ming Tianheng, how dare you extend credit? Your Ming family has already racked up nearly 60,000 taels of silver in debt. If you want to add more, then pay off all the previous debts first! Otherwise, don't even think about taking a single item!" The shopkeeper took out an account book.
"If you say I'm not going to give you any money today, then I'm not going to." Ming Tianheng grabbed Manager Hu by the collar. "Sister, have you taken your things? Let's go."
"How dare you!" Manager Hu roared. "Ming Tianheng, if you dare to steal our goods, the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion will not let this go!"
"The Prince of Zhenyuan's Mansion? They won't just let it go like that? Hahaha!" Ming Tianheng laughed again. "Nangong Lan and Huo Jing are already dead. Who dares to do anything to us? That good-for-nothing Nangong Wu?"
"These jewels were custom-made, and a deposit has already been paid. You can't take them away." Manager Hu snatched the bundle from the maid's hands.
"You old bastard, you're asking for it!" Ming Tianheng, enraged, swung his fist down.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Ming Tianheng's arm flew off, splattering blood.
"what!"
Screams were mixed with cries of terror.
Shopkeeper Hu was splattered with blood and stood there stunned.
He wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve and saw that there was now a woman in the shop, carrying a long sword.
"Brother..." Ming Yan'er screamed, looking at Ming Tianheng's arm bleeding profusely, both shocked and furious.
"You wretch, how dare you!" Liu Xiu pointed at Nangong Wu, furious. "You dare touch someone from the Ming family? You're dead! Guards! Kill her for me..."
"Damn it!" Nangong Wu's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and with a swift swing of her sword, she severed the arm that Liu Xiu was pointing at her.
"Ah!" Another scream, like a pig being slaughtered, rang out.
"Ah!" Ming Yan'er screamed in despair, "Who are you? How dare you touch the Ming family and the Liu family?"
"I am Nangong Wu!" Nangong Wu walked up to Ming Yan'er and looked at her coldly.
"Go back and tell Marquis Wu'an and Liu Zhizhen that since your two families have so many debts, I, the princess, will take one of their sons' arms as interest."
Upon hearing her voice, Ming Yan'er recoiled in shock, as if she had seen a monster. "You're Nangong Wu..."
Nangong Wu ignored her and turned to Li Shuang, ordering, "Throw all these people out."
"Yes!" Li Shuang stepped forward, picked up Liu Xiu, who had already fainted from the pain, and threw him out along with his severed arm.
The servants and maids from the Ming and Liu families who had followed them only then realized what was happening and hurriedly helped Ming Tianheng, who was lying on the ground, out of the way.
Ming Yan'er, used to being arrogant and domineering, was utterly unable to accept this, having just met her match for the first time. "Nangong Wu, you just wait..."
