Medical Princess

Chapter 973: Not Easy to Escalate the Cancellation of the Engagement

The water chilled Liu Xincheng. He couldn't even open his eyes and didn't know what was going on. Water dripped down his chin, and some broken tea leaves were on his head.

In the end, Luo Xiaowan threw the teapot in her hand right at his head. When Princess Chen left, she specially told her to make him angry because a hoodlum like him would even hit a woman.

"How dare you talk nonsense about our miss!" The two maids went up, dragged the tablecloth, and scolded him for Luo Xiaowan.

"Who wants to marry you? Look at yourself in the mirror and see how disgraceful you are. How dare you think of marrying our Miss? You are nobody but an ugly toad wishing to eat swan meat."

The two sharp-tongued maids smashed the plates as they cursed.

Some people reacted and immediately understood that this lady was the legitimate Young Madam of Duke Yangqu's Mansion, whom everyone had just mentioned. She must have heard the words just now and came to the door.

"You bastard!" Luo Xiaowan scolded Liu Xincheng, who had just wiped the water off his face and opened his eyes. Then she threw another plate of dishes at him.

At this time, Liu Xincheng finally caught on. He avoided the dishes and plates smashed to him and tried to take Luo Xiaowan's hand.

The maid next to her slammed into Luo Xiaowan. Luo Xiaowan slapped Liu Xincheng hard in the face. Liu Xincheng, covering his face, immediately became furious. "Bitch, how dare you!"

Liu Xincheng had been doted on since he was a child, so he had never been beaten once. At this time, Luo Xiaowan, whom he despised the most, actually beat him up. Looking at these scared "friends" around him who had just been happily talking about Luo Xiaowan with him, he felt sick to his stomach.

He reached out to drag Luo Xiaowan, intending to teach her a lesson.

It was too late for Luo Xiaowan to run away, for he had taken one of her hands. In a panic, she raised her other hand and slapped him again.

Liu Xincheng jumped up in a frenzy when she slapped him the second time. He raised his hand to hit Luo Xiaowan in the face.

......

When the maid saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to block the slap. So, half of the slap landed on the maid, while the other half still reached Luo Xiaowan's face.

The impact was not serious, but his nails scratched her face, leaving a faint bloody line on her face.

"Someone is killed! Help! Somebody!" Another maid screamed.

Her shrill voice was so harsh that Liu Xincheng was frightened and loosened his grip on Luo Xiaowan. The two maids hurriedly escorted her out. At this time, there was no need to do anything else. Many people in the tavern heard the noise and looked at the private box in shock. They saw a Young Madam running out of the room with two servant girls. The Young Madam looked frightened, her face scratched and pale. It was obvious that she had been beaten.

"Please save our Young Madam! That man wants to beat and kill her!" The maid screamed as she ran.

Liu Xincheng chased after her from the inside. He was eager to stop Luo Xiaowan. Judging from the current situation, they realized that things were not going well.

He was much faster than Luo Xiaowan and was about to catch up with her in two or three steps.

A servant girl rushed to him, held his legs, and pleaded with him, "Please let go of our Miss. Please, please!"

While crying, she dragged Liu Jingcheng's legs and didn't let him go forward.

Liu Xincheng lifted his leg impatiently and kicked her away. She fell heavily to one side and knocked over the table on the other side.

Some people couldn't stand the scene, so they helped the maid stand up.

Taking advantage of this delay, Luo Xiaowan rushed out of the door with another maid. A group of people came in and almost bumped into them. Fortunately, the people at the door reacted quickly and hurriedly dodged them.

The maid ran slowly and fell at the door. She turned around, cried, and turned to stop Liu Xincheng. "You… please let go of our Miss. You hit her. What else do you want to do? Do you even want to kill her? For a prostitute? You… how can you do this… She is your fiancée!"

Her meaningful words made many people stare at him in shock.

Someone couldn't help but curse, "Asshole!"

"You're mean and humble. How could you beat your wife to death for a prostitute?"

"Not my legal wife, but fiancée!"

"Why would anyone want such a marriage? Hurry up and get away from him. If you really marry him, she won't live in peace for a day!" While they were talking, Liu Xincheng had already reached the door. Luo Xiaowan fell down outside the door, and he could catch her in a few steps.

In the current situation, it was better to catch Luo Xiaowan as soon as possible. Thus, without caring about anything else, he kicked the maid who was blocking the door again.

This time, his foot didn't land on her, yet he was stopped by a youngster from the group of people who had just arrived.

"Hey, you've gone too far!" The young man said. He lamented in his heart. "It's so unlucky for me. How could I encounter such a troublesome thing when I go out and have a drink with a few friends?" Since he worked in the Ministry of Justice, he must bear the responsibility and intervene.

"What did I do? She's my unmarried wife!" Liu Xincheng was about to grab hold of Luo Xiaowan when he was kicked. He gritted his teeth in anger and lifted his leg again. This time, he targeted at the young man.

"Does this man really want to fight with me?" The young man was very angry. His fighting skills were not bad. He turned aside, avoided Liu Xincheng's foot, and stamped hard on it. This kick was much fiercer than Liu Xincheng's. "Since she hasn't married you yet, she has nothing to do with you. Even if she is your wife, you have committed a crime by beating her violently."

"Our Young Master is working in the Ministry of Justice!" The servant next to him cleverly added.

Since he was working in the Ministry of Justice, it was his responsibility to meddle in this.

"Your Excellency, please save our Miss." The eyes of the maid at the door lit up, and she immediately burst into tears before the young man.

At this time, Luo Xiaowan also stood up and walked to the young man. Suddenly, she knelt down and sobbed, "My lord, I want to sue this person. Not only did he deceive me into marriage, but he also wanted to beat me to death. I can't accept this marriage. I beg you to break off the engagement!"

"This… But the Ministry of Justice… doesn't take care of this matter…" The young man said awkwardly. It was true that the Ministry of Justice wouldn't handle this kind of thing. "Shouldn't they go back and discuss it with their families to break off the engagement?" He was a little confused.

"Your Excellency. Your Excellency, if their engagement continues, our Miss will die. Please help us establish the case, otherwise, we won't be able to go back now!"

The maid who had bumped into the table just now also rushed out and knelt on the ground, crying.

They looked miserable.

"Your Excellency, please help this lady. This man is not a good man at first glance. He called many prostitutes over to accompany him. I heard they had been drinking and flirting in the box for quite a while!" Someone saw Liu Xincheng go in with several prostitutes. They teased each other loudly upstairs. Sure enough, he was not a Childe from a decent family.

"See how pitiful this young lady is. The people who arranged this marriage were sending her to death!"

"Pitiful. This lady will lose her life if she marries that man!"

"Who is this rich playboy? How could he even want to kill his fiancée?"

Some people were asking, some were sighing, and some were observing Liu Xincheng's face, which had turned livid with anger. Luo Xiaowan slapped him twice, but since she was not strong, his face didn't swell up at all. However, the moment he touched Luo Xiaowan's face, the scratch became red and swollen in a short while, which looked scary on her white and tender face.

Luo Xiaowan had always been fragile. Now, with her eyes filled with tears, she looked miserable.

After hearing what they said, she staggered to her feet and looked straight at Liu Xincheng. Such a firm look made him panic, and he looked away. He didn't know how to deal with this now.

"Since there's no one to uphold justice for me, then I… I'm going to die!" Luo Xiaowan was about to hit the pillar next to her.

Seeing this, the two servant girls rushed over and hugged her, crying sadly. "Miss, Miss, don't do anything stupid!"

"Miss, there will be someone who will help you!"

Luo Xiaowan was held in the arms of two maids and could not move. She struggled hard but failed to get rid of them. Then she lowered her head and shed tears with grievance.

"Just help her. She looks so pitiful!" Zhang Lanjue pulled the young man's sleeve as if he couldn't stand it.

"Yes, help her. Set up a case for her first. If it fails, she may think of a way later. At least she can get help now!" Someone among the group of people said to help her. From the words of the people around them, the people from the Ministry of Justice learned about the whole matter and got an extremely low opinion of Liu Xincheng.

The man who could do such an evil thing must have given up his humanity!

For a prostitute, he beat his fiancée to the ground in public, begging for mercy. No human being was capable of doing this! Those young people brought here by Zhang Lanjue were from decent families and had good character. Thus, they were willing to speak for her.

"Okay, I'll arrange a case for this lady!" The young man said helplessly. It was best just to file a case in this situation. It would be best if there were nothing wrong. But if not, it was reasonable to do that.

"What? It's just a matter of marriage!" Hearing that they were really going to file a case in the Ministry of Justice, Liu Xincheng became anxious and shouted. He stood up with the help of the doorframe and defended himself. "We're engaged to be married, and I have a contract to prove it. How could you establish a case? Yes, we had this small conflict because of a trivial misunderstanding. It's not a big deal. Stay out of my business!"

Liu Xincheng was also a tyrant in his own territory. In the past, he could easily get what he wanted from others. Never had he given in for others. What he said made others even more disgusted. Looking at his arrogant face and the poor look of Luo Xiaowan at the door, they felt that he was not worthy of this lady at all.

Many people were standing on Luo Xiaowan's side. When they heard what Liu Xincheng said, they could not help but say, "Are you engaged? Not with the prostitute upstairs? You make a good match with the prostitute upstairs. A perfect couple!"

"Why don't you let others take care of the young lady? You just gave her a violent beating. Do you think that you're the owner of the capital city? Do you consider yourself a royal or the crown prince?"

"Don't you know how miserable you look? There can't be any Young Madam from a good family willing to marry you. I say you should stay in jail for a few days. Don't you think so?" Someone asked the angry crowd.

"Yes, that's right. We're all witnesses when you hit people on the street. Stay in the Ministry of Justice jail for a few days first. Then you'll have to deal with the case!" Someone else chimed in. When some looked upstairs, they saw people come out of the private box. Among them, there were indeed a few women dressed in lurid clothes. At first glance, one could tell that they were not decent women.

"Come on, take them to the Ministry of Justice and set up a case first!" Seeing that Liu Xincheng had irritated many onlookers, the young man ordered his servant to take him away.

Fighting in public could surely be treated as a criminal offense…
