Chapter 257 I'll Twist Your Ear Off
This rhetoric sounds like someone who desperately wants something but can't have it, and is trying to take it by force.
Lin Chang'er couldn't help but look at the student named Gu Ziyan again. He was dressed simply, his scholar's robe was washed until it was almost white, so he must have come from a poor family. Although his features were delicate, he did not have a feminine appearance and had an Adam's apple, so he was definitely a man.
So this is Chen Zhao's student?
Lin Chang'er clicked her tongue. Isn't this just like the scene in later generations where a school bully bullies the school heartthrob?
At this moment, Gu Ziyan spoke up, "Chen Zhao, no matter how beautifully we write the essay, it's still fake. Although it might temporarily make your father smile, what will you do in the provincial examination?"
Lin Chang'er understood again: the school bully is a slacker, the school heartthrob is a top student, the top student has a good moral compass, and the childhood sweetheart is a top student? I can't believe it, I can't believe it.
Chen Zhao said, "Why do you care so much? Let's put this matter aside for now and deal with the future later."
Gu Ziyan clearly disagreed with his idea and sternly refused, saying, "I will not cheat or deceive your elders."
“You…” Chen Zhao angrily rolled up his sleeves.
The servants immediately rubbed their hands together, eager to help. "Gu Ziyan, Young Master Chen is doing you a favor by asking you to write an essay. Don't be ungrateful."
"Exactly, don't think you're the only one who can write articles."
"Hurry up and apologize to Young Master Chen, and write him a beautiful essay as an apology."
Gu Ziyan said righteously, "I can't control what others do, but I, Gu Ziyan, will never collude with you."
"He won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences. Get him, young master, and beat him up." Chen Zhao was clearly annoyed.
With a wave of his hand, his followers and servants swarmed forward.
Li Xun quickly pulled Gu Ziyan back a few steps.
Gu Ziyan insisted, "Brother Li, I cannot implicate the Sixth Brother."
Li Xun explained, "The six brothers can handle it. If you and I don't step back, we'll only be a burden."
Gu Ziyan was clearly puzzled, and the next moment, he heard continuous wails of agony from ahead.
When he looked up, he saw Liu Zi punch the left, kick the right, then hook the shoulder, and Chen Zhao's followers and servants were quickly lying on the ground.
Chen Zhao was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't Li Xun also a poor boy from the countryside?
When did I meet such an amazing person?
Liu Zi rolled up his sleeves, feeling that they were in the way, and waved to Chen Zhao, "You're the only one left. After you're done, I'll go have some tea."
Chen Zhao gripped his folding fan, his hands in a defensive stance, and took several steps back warily. "You, you, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless! My uncle is Chen Yu, the prefect of Ninghai."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zi made no further move and turned to look at Lin Chang'er.
Lin Chang'er was eating melon seeds when she saw this, and said, "Bring him over here."
Then he turned to Li Xun and Gu Ziyan and waved, "Cousin, come and have a cup of tea too."
Gu Ziyan then noticed Lin Chang'er sitting in the teahouse drinking tea. Seeing her calm demeanor, extraordinary aura, and the presence of such skilled attendants, he knew she must be someone of great importance.
Then she turned to Li Xun and asked, "Brother Li, which cousin is this?"
Gu Ziyan and Li Xun lived in the same dormitory. They were both diligent and encouraged each other. They copied books together to supplement their family income and had a very good relationship.
They both know each other's family situation.
In Gu Ziyan's memory, he didn't seem to have heard Li Xun mention him before.
Li Xun smiled and said, "They are from my cousin's husband's family."
Gu Ziyan nodded; that made sense.
He walked over with a limp, raised his sleeve and bowed, "Greetings, cousin."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "I don't stand on ceremony here, sit down and let's talk."
Liu Zi also grabbed Chen Zhao by the ear and came over.
Chen Zhao was naturally unwilling and resisted all the way, saying, "Did you hear me? My uncle is Chen Yu, the prefect of Ninghai. If you dare to be disrespectful to me, I will report to my uncle, and he will certainly not let you off easily."
"Get out of here, stop babbling on and on, or I'll twist your ears off."
"Ahhh... Gently, gently!"
Liu Zi didn't fall for his tricks at all. Chen Zhao felt the pain and became obedient. In the end, Liu Zi grabbed his ear and pressed him onto the bench.
"Miss, the person has been brought over," Liu Zi said.
Lin Chang'er poured him a cup of tea, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Liu. Have a cup of tea and rest first."
Liu Zi was unconcerned with formalities and didn't bother with formalities. He grabbed Chen Zhao's ear with one hand and picked up his teacup with the other, drinking half of it.
Seeing that the person in charge was a young woman, Chen Zhao shouted again, "Hey, who are you? A young lady like you showing your face in public, meddling in other people's business, believe me or not, my uncle..."
"If Prefect Chen knew you were ruining his reputation everywhere, he would deal with you first." Lin Chang'er poured two bowls of tea for herself and gave one to Li Xun and one to Gu Ziyan, without even glancing at him.
"Thank you, cousin." Li Xun and Gu Ziyan said in unison, their movements even synchronized.
Lin Chang'er replied, "No need for such formalities."
Turning to Chen Zhao, she said, "Send all your henchmen over here. If they dare to go back and report this, I'll break their legs."
His gaze fell on the servant who was trying to sneak away. The servant felt a sudden pain in his leg and dared not have any more thoughts. He and his followers helped each other over and finally stood unsteadily behind Chen Zhao.
Lin Chang'er turned her gaze to Chen Zhao, "You too."
This was the first time Chen Zhao had met someone even fiercer than herself, and she was so frightened she almost cried. "Who are you? What did I do to offend you that you want to break my legs?"
Lin Chang'er almost burst out laughing. A spoiled brat? That's all?
She glanced at Gu Ziyan and asked, "What did he do to offend you this time that you want to break his legs?"
Chen Zhao twitched his lips, knowing he was in the wrong. He snorted, turned his face away, and remained silent. Who told him to look down on him and refuse to help him write an article?
He's the dignified young master Chen, and he personally asked him for a favor, yet he still acts all high and mighty. Shouldn't he be beaten up?
"Naive," Lin Chang'er shook her head, and kindly poured him a cup of tea. "Come on, tell me, what happened?"
Chen Zhao, with an arrogant look on her face, glared at Gu Ziyan and Li Xun, then glanced at the cup of tea out of the corner of her eye. Finally, she tilted her head back and asked, "Why don't you ask them?"
Lin Chang'er slammed the teacup on the table with a "bang," and said, "Speak."
Chen Zhao was startled. "Why are you being so fierce?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you utter another word, I'll tie up all the people behind you and send them to your father so he can see what you've done."
This young master Chen went so far as to threaten Gu Ziyan into writing articles to please his father, which suggests that his father must have held a certain degree of authority in his heart.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Chen Zhao's momentum waned even more. He shrank back, pointed at Liu Zi who was pulling his ear, and said, "Can you ask him to let go for a moment? It really hurts, you know?"
Lin Chang'er rolled her eyes at him, scoffed at his fussiness, and retorted, "What do you think?"
